Family Rise: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 140

"Brother Ping, the Fu family you are talking about, is it the Fu family of Luofeng Mountain that was looted by the southern barbarians eleven years ago?"

Patriarch Cao was a little skeptical, because in his impression, it seemed that the Fu family only had four sons who practiced Taoism back then. Fu Changsheng, who succeeded to the position of the head of the family, was only fifteen years old and at the second level of Qi training. How could he have broken through to the foundation building stage in just eleven years? This was incredible.

Patriarch Ping narrowed his eyes slightly:
"Brother Cao, I'm the same as you. I didn't pay much attention to Fu Changsheng before this, but when I asked around, I was shocked."

"Don't look at his young age"

"But the Li family and the Zhang family who once settled in Niu Shou Mountain were all destroyed by him."

"also"

"I heard that when the Tianlong tribe and the Niuteng tribe were destroyed, Fu Changsheng was also involved. The spiritual stone vein in Wanhua Valley was the information Fu Changsheng provided to the Shangguan family. I believe that the Shangguan family must have promised Fu Changsheng a spiritual item for foundation building. Otherwise, how could he build a foundation!"

The more Patriarch Ping thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Cao and Patriarch He both frowned:
"Brother Ping, if Fu Changsheng is really as powerful as you say, then we must not let him grow up! The Shangguan family is already difficult to deal with. If they have a powerful helper like Fu Changsheng, won't they become the head of the ninth-rank family in Huainan Prefecture in the future?"

As if it had just arrived.

Then the Shangguan family will probably firmly sit on the position of an eighth-rank family!

Ping Xingyang, who was standing by, heard this and blurted out anxiously, "If that's the case, should we set up an ambush on Fu Changsheng's way to Huainan Prefecture to register as a quasi-ninth-rank family?"

"No"

Patriarch Ping rejected it outright.

He just finished saying that the Zhenshi Division supervises all the major families. If they act rashly, wouldn't they be handing the Shangguan family a handle?

Not only can they not stop it, but they also have to pray that the Fu family will be successfully promoted to a quasi-ninth-grade family.

This way.

They would then be able to take action against the Fu family with justification.

Patriarch Ping laughed, calmly picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said lightly:
"The fiefdom of Yunshan County borders the Shiwan Mountains and is close to the Nanman tribe. If the three of us join forces, we will have trouble finding a good opportunity to deal with the Fu family, which only has one foundation-building cultivator. Brother Cao, Brother He, have some tea."

Luofeng Mountain.

After Fu Changsheng returned from the Liu family, he asked Mei Zhen to continue to block the clan mountain, and at the same time kept silent about the night attack on the Liu family to the clan members.

Meizhen was asked to register all the supplies obtained from the Liu family and put them into the clan treasury.

After finishing all the chores.

Return to the secret room.

Now we just have to wait for Shangguan Feng to call us and go to Huainan Prefecture.

This time we went to Huainan Prefecture.

He planned to purchase all the materials needed to refine his own magical weapon, and also sell the materials of the Fire Turtle to see if he could get a high price in Wanning Market.

of course.

You also need to purchase some items needed for the construction of the fiefdom in the market.

After making a long list.

He looked at the spiritual stones he had stored, and it was obviously not enough:
"It seems I have to go find Meizhen again."

Not enough spirit stones.

It can only be withdrawn from the clan treasury.

The clan has been doing well in the past few years and should have a lot of spirit stones left over.

of course.

Before going out.

The most important thing is naturally to exchange information.

Especially this time, it concerns whether their Fu family can successfully advance to a quasi-ninth-grade family.

Immediately, an idea came to mind:
"Exchange Information"

hum!
The panel vibrates.

A large amount of yellow light surged.

Then lines of text appeared:

[1: After Grandmaster Yu studied the Ten Thousand Ghosts Formation, he found that one of the four formations was less damaged and could be used alone. Its power was equivalent to that of a second-grade top-grade magic formation, but it required a second-grade top-grade Cangming Stone to repair it.]

[2: Yu Qingru failed to build her foundation by force using the Soul Condensing Incense, and her meridians were severely damaged. Grandma Yu was about to die, and her mana was exhausted. One year later, Yu Qingru came out of seclusion, and the elders of the Yu family forced Yu Qingru to marry the son of the second elder of the Heike family. Grandma Yu died on the spot.]

[3: In the stall area on West Street of Wanning Market, which you are about to visit, a hunchbacked old man brought out three strange seeds from the Blood Forbidden Land. One of them still has a trace of life. It can take root and sprout if watered with the blood of monsters or the blood of cultivators. If this strange seed has enough blood, it can break through to the fourth level. It is the city vine used by large sects to protect cities in ancient times.]

[4: In order to convince the Jiupin Liang family to act as your guarantor, Shangguan Feng even took out a piece of the third-rank low-grade earth-attribute refining material Tu Mingshi as a reward]

[5: When Liu Qingyun besieged your Fu family's land last time, all the guest officials were united with your Fu family. Only Chen Dazhu felt that there was no need to die with them. However, he was severely scolded by Cai Xiangu. He had originally planned to escape from Niu Shou Mountain, so he had to give up.]

[6: Because Shitou Fu Yongyi's father was found to have spiritual roots, and because of his soft personality and manipulable personality, he suddenly became a popular candidate for marriage. He already has three wives and four concubines. Among the children born, one with the nickname Shitian will also have spiritual roots detected.]

[7: After you go to Wanning Market to register as a Quasi-Ninth-Rank Family, Shangguan Feng will participate in a trade fair for foundation-building cultivators, where a damaged Human Emperor Banner will appear. The Human Emperor Banner is the treasure of the ancient Yinluo Sect, and there are eighteen of them.]

Later, several more pieces of information were exchanged.

But they were all irrelevant information, so he quickly stopped the exchange.

at this time.

There are still 442 family contribution points left on the panel.

The intelligence information provided this time was too much and had certain reference value. Fu Changsheng read it carefully several times and memorized it silently in his mind.

At the same time, he re-sorted out the list of things he needed to go to Wanning Market.

According to intelligence mentioned.

Grandmaster Yu needs the second-grade top-grade Cangming Stone to repair the Ten Thousand Ghosts Formation. This item is extremely rare and cannot be bought in ordinary shops. You can only look for it in the Wanning Chamber of Commerce.

but.

The price of the second-grade top-grade Cangming Stone is probably not low.

I don’t know if the spirit stones he brought are enough.

Also.

We must also try to get the strange seeds from the bloody forbidden land on West Street in Wanningfang City. This thing will be just right for use in the next fiefdom.

of course.

I must also try to participate in the exchange meeting for foundation-building cultivators with Uncle Feng. No matter what, I must get the Ghost Luo Banner. With this Human Emperor Banner, Qiu Chan's next attempt to break through to the second level should not fail due to insufficient Yin spiritual energy from the Hundred Ghosts Banner.

After being registered as a quasi-ninth-rank family.

Before going to the fiefdom.

He still has a lot of things to do.

First, we must also obtain the Lei family’s Nine-Turn Divine Lamp ritual and the recipe for refining their green mulberry fruit into Soul-Feeding Pills.

I had promised Mother-in-law Yu that I would lend a helping hand when she was in trouble, and I would also go to the Yu family and try to rescue Yu Qingru from that den of wolves and tigers.

Lots and lots of them.

He simply recorded them all in the book.

Several days passed.

The communication jade talisman on the waist made a rapid buzzing sound.

A spell was cast.

Shangguan Feng's voice came out:

"Changsheng, come to Taiyun Valley outside Nanyang Market to meet up."

Finally here.

Fu Changsheng felt relieved. After coming out of seclusion, he withdrew a sum of spirit stones from Mei Zhen, then immediately put on an invisibility cloak and left the clan land.

Because he wanted to conceal his cultivation level, he had not yet learned the art of flying. In addition, the flying boat's invisibility restriction had been damaged and had not yet been repaired. If he used the flying boat, it would inevitably attract the attention of spies from other families, so he could only walk to Taiyun Valley to meet up with Shangguan Feng.

In order not to leave a bad impression on the other two guarantors.

along the way.

He used speed talismans and the Immortal Steps to travel faster.

It is a hundred miles away from Nanyang City.

A rainbow light suddenly appeared.

Take a closer look.

But they saw two foundation-building cultivators flying with flying objects. The man had a wine gourd on his waist and a red beard, while the woman had half of her face covered with a black veil, making it impossible to see her true appearance.

The female cultivator was named Ghost Fairy.

The man is Lin Tianfu.

If Fu Changsheng were here, he would definitely recognize him at a glance.

These two people were the two foundation-building cultivators from the Niuteng tribe who had attacked the Tianlong tribe together with the Shangguan family. At that time, what they wanted was the second-level spiritual vein in Niuteng Mountain.

Ten years have passed.

Today, the Lin family has been canonized as a ninth-rank family by the imperial court, becoming the seventh ninth-rank family in Huainan Prefecture.

The area of ​​Niuteng Mountain was also named Tianlong County. The hoarse voice of Ghost Fairy sounded:

"Husband, when you meet Shangguan Feng later, don't immediately agree to be his guarantor. Although Shangguan Feng mentioned that Fu Changsheng has already established his foundation, we didn't negotiate with Fu Changsheng back then. We still have to meet him in person first to get a feel for him."

Lin Tianfu nodded slightly.

The two of them were able to establish a family as casual cultivators, and were also canonized as a ninth-rank family, so they were naturally very cautious in doing things.

but.

Lin Tianfu was still impressed by Fu Changsheng.

After all, it was Fu Changsheng who discovered the spirit stone vein in Wanhua Valley.

Moreover, it was thanks to Fu Changsheng's discovery of the underground river leading to Tianlong City that they were able to easily capture the Tianlong Tribe. Later, Shangguan Hui suffered a setback and directly lost the dividends from the spirit stone mine.

At that time he felt that this boy was extraordinary.

But I didn't expect that the other party would break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage in less than ten years, which was quite surprising.

If he remembered correctly, the other party was only 26 years old. Being able to build a foundation at this age was considered a leader among all the major families.

It means that the other party has great potential.

This is also one of the reasons why the couple is willing to come forward as guarantors.

Of course, in addition to this reason, the more important reason is that if the Fu family really obtained the Yunshan County fiefdom, it would be adjacent to their Tianlong County fiefdom. As the marginal area of ​​the Eastern Wilderness, it would be great to form an alliance and help each other.

Also.

One of the important reasons was that Shangguan Feng promised them great benefits.

After Lin Tianfu and Gui Xiangu arrived at Taiyun Valley, a magic light curtain in the valley suddenly lit up and a gap opened, and they saw Shangguan Feng already waiting there.

Next to Shangguan Feng was the ninth-rank elder of the Liang family, an aristocratic family affiliated with the Shangguan clan. Patriarch Liang was also at the peak of the foundation-building stage, but he looked obviously old, and one could tell at a glance that he was nearing the end of his life.

Elder Liang had obviously been waiting for a while, with a hint of impatience between his brows:

"Brother Shangguan, Fellow Daoist Lin and his wife have come all the way from Tianlong County. Why hasn't that kid Fu you've been eyeing arrived yet? From Luofeng Mountain to Taiyun Valley, with the flying speed of a foundation-building cultivator, he should have arrived long ago."

Mr. Liang hates people being late the most.

His impression of Fu Changsheng was greatly reduced, and he did not avoid Lin Tianfu and his wife, and said bluntly:
"Brother Shangguan, let me make it clear first. If the boy from the Fu family that you have your eyes on is not pleasing to my eye, then what we have said before will come to an end."

If it weren't for the fact that the Liang and Shangguan families have been married for generations and have always stood together, the Liang family would never have rashly acted as a guarantor for a greenhorn this time.

The Fu family’s foundation is too shallow.

Moreover, there is no elder in the clan to support them, and the inheritance is interrupted.

If you want to meet the promotion requirements for a ninth-grade family within ten years.

He still felt it was a bit uncertain.

Shangguan Feng smiled and nodded. He had absolute confidence in Fu Changsheng.

Shangguan Feng and the other three waited for about another hour.

Just when Patriarch Liang was getting impatient, Shangguan Feng's spiritual sense moved, and a spell hit the light curtain of the formation. A hole appeared in the light curtain, and then a small breeze blew in.

Fu Changsheng flashed in, waved his hand, put the invisibility cloak into his pocket, and bowed to the four people:

"Uncle Feng, fellow Taoists, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

While talking.

There is still some uneven breathing.

Patriarch Liang snorted coldly, obviously unhappy.

Shangguan Feng came to the rescue and said:

"But you came on foot?"

Fu Changsheng nodded in agreement.

Shangguan Feng explained:

"Changsheng just broke through the foundation building less than half a year ago. I told him to hide his cultivation first. This kid is also very honest. He probably hasn't even practiced flying."

It would take less than half a day to reach Taiyun Valley from Luofeng Mountain by flying.

But if they walked, it would take almost a whole day. The fact that Fu Changsheng was able to arrive at this time clearly showed that he did not rest for a moment and used the speed talisman throughout the entire journey.

Such an explanation.

Patriarch Liang looked much better. Suddenly, his eyes fell on Fu Changsheng, and his expression became a little strange:
“Brother Shangguan, you said that Patriarch Fu has just broken through to the foundation building stage less than half a year ago?”

This statement came out.

Lin Tianfu and his wife also realized something.

The look he gave Fu Changsheng was full of surprise.

Although Fu Changsheng suppressed his own aura, as a foundation-building cultivator, he could sense with his spiritual sense that the other party had actually broken through to the second level of foundation-building!

But the other party had clearly only been building his foundation for less than half a year.

Each breakthrough in the Foundation Establishment Stage requires a huge amount of true energy to support it, so it takes longer than the Qi Refining Stage. Breaking through a level in less than half a year is an astonishing achievement in the Qi Refining Stage, let alone the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Even Shangguan Feng was stunned for a moment.

but.

It is understandable that Fu Changsheng probably gained something from the Qingxu Sect ruins.

Seeing the shock on the faces of the other three people, Shangguan Feng was even happier than his own breakthrough, and said with a somewhat boastful tone:
"If Changsheng is an ordinary person, can I bring your two families in to act as guarantors for him?"

"Brother Shangguan, helping the seedlings grow faster is not something to brag about."

After being shocked, Patriarch Liang frowned.

Even Lin Tianfu and his wife, who were standing by, felt that Fu Changsheng was in a hurry to break through the second level of foundation building within half a year, and he was obviously not calm enough. As the guarantors of the Fu family, if Fu Changsheng was useless, they would have to pay for the Fu family in the future.

and so.

For a moment, the three of them were silent, with some concerns between their brows.

Fu Changsheng was thinking about how to explain.

Patriarch Liang moved his feet instantly, and his right palm blasted out as fast as lightning. The surging true energy at the peak of foundation building burst out and turned into a green python that roared towards Fu Changsheng.

When Lin Tianfu and his wife saw this, their pupils shrank.

This palm.

Unremarkable.

No spell was even cast.

But even if they have broken through to the middle stage of foundation building, if they are attacked without any preparation, they will be skinned alive if they don't die.

The peak position of foundation building is so terrifying!
The two of them looked at Fu Changsheng with sharp eyes.

As imagined, Fu Changsheng did not beg for mercy. Instead, he stood still. He suddenly clasped his hands together, and with a bang, a ball of fire appeared. Along with the change of the seal, a fire dragon over thirty feet long condensed in an instant.

"Roar"

The fire dragon swung its tail heavily, and with tremendous force it struck the green python that was rushing towards it.

Rumble!
The two forces collided.

The fire dragon and the green python collapsed instantly, and a huge mushroom cloud slowly rose into the sky!
"This"

Lin Tianfu and his wife looked at Fu Changsheng, who had retreated a few steps and then stopped, with shock in their eyes.

Although Patriarch Liang had only used three or four percent of his magic power in the previous palm strike, and although the couple could have resisted it, they would certainly not be as calm as Fu Changsheng.

But they and their spouse have already reached the fourth level of foundation building!

In other words, Fu Changsheng's magic power at the second level of foundation building is comparable to their magic power at the fourth level of foundation building. This... This is only possible among the children of noble families!

Even Patriarch Liang was surprised.

He originally wanted to test Fu Changsheng's background and give him a warning at the same time, to let him know that his Liang family was taking a considerable risk by guaranteeing the Fu family.

But I never expected that it would backfire.

Fu Changsheng's performance just now proved from his strength that he had broken through to the second level of foundation building within half a year. Not only was he not hasty, but his foundation was more solid than that of most foundation building cultivators.

This shows that Fu Changsheng has good spiritual roots and the level of his practice is not low.

With this speed of cultivation, there will be no problem in leading the Fu family to become a ninth-grade family within ten years.

Patriarch Liang muttered in his heart:
"No wonder there were rumors that Shangguan Feng wanted to marry his daughter Shangguan Hongyu to this boy."

The other three people present were all shocked, but Shangguan Feng seemed to have expected it, so he had no intention of stopping Patriarch Liang when he made his move.

Because at the exit of the Penglai Mountain Ruins, Fu Changsheng was able to easily activate the third-order spiritual weapon Hunyuan Bowl several times in a row, which was enough to show that Fu Changsheng's foundation was more solid than that of ordinary foundation-building cultivators.

So I laughed at this time:
"Brother Liang, Fellow Daoist Lin, now that you have seen Changsheng's strength, do you still have any doubts about being the guarantor of the Fu family?"

Patriarch Liang curled his lips, which was considered as his agreement.

Lin Tianfu and his wife smiled and complimented:
"Fellow Daoist Shangguan is always right in judging people. With Fellow Daoist Fu's ability, it is not impossible for him to lead the Fu family to the eighth rank, let alone the ninth rank. There is no doubt in my mind."

Fu Changsheng quickly said a few humble words.

Shangguan Feng looked at him with even greater satisfaction.
