Chapter 142: Promotion to aristocratic family, luck blessing, generous rewards
"Ding"

"You have purchased a batch of first-level spiritual objects for the clan, and received 60 clan contribution points."

Followed by.

The family contribution value on the panel climbed to four hundred and eighty.

See the contribution value going up.

Fu Changsheng's lips curled up slightly.

He did not leave the room that night, but sat cross-legged in meditation. On the next morning, the true energy he had consumed was replenished again. The spiritual energy in Room No. 1 was no less than that of practicing in a second-grade lower-grade spiritual spring well.

and so.

The rent here costs quite a bit of spirit stones per night.

The last time they met in Taiyun Valley, he was late, so the first thing he did after waking up was to come out of the room and be the first to reach the first floor.

Different from yesterday.

Only one night has passed.

However, the attitude of Shopkeeper Nangong suddenly changed 180 degrees, and he actually treated him as an elder.

However, he didn't know whether it was because the shopkeeper Nangong got wind of the fact that he had killed Qiu Taifeng last night, or whether there was a foundation-building cultivator in the inn who reminded him that he was not at the peak of Qi training as the other party saw.

but.

He immediately set off for the Zhenshi Division on East Street.

Fu Changsheng didn't care much.

They immediately booked a private room and ordered five breakfasts. After Shangguan Feng and the other three came downstairs and had breakfast, they walked towards East Street together.

Outside the protective formation of Dongjie Town Shisi.

The guards guarding the formation were imperial court uniforms. Although they were only at the peak of Qi training, they were still neither humble nor overbearing towards Shangguan Feng and the others. They checked each person's token one by one and only let them pass after they received a reply.

Zhenshisi is a courtyard with three entrances.

The place they were going to register was the affairs hall in the first entrance.

When Yang, the steward of the Office of Affairs, heard that they were coming for the newly opened Yunshan County fiefdom, his eyes fell on Fu Changsheng, who was less than 30 years old. He was somewhat surprised, but he did not say much, but cupped his hands:

"Please wait a moment, everyone. This matter is under the personal charge of Vice Palace Master Liu. I have to go to the backyard to ask for instructions first."

"Thank you, Manager Yang."

Fu Changsheng handed a golden bag to the other party without leaving any trace.

Manager Yang put it in his sleeve, squeezed it, and then a smile appeared on his face. He added:
"Our Lord has the habit of meditating in the morning. It will take about half an hour after breakfast. Please go to the side hall and wait."

talking.

Steward Yang personally escorted them to the side hall, then ordered the maid to serve tea and snacks, and then turned and went to the backyard.

After about half an hour, Manager Yang came back and said, "Excuse me for waiting, everyone. Please follow me."

Go through the front hall.

We arrived at the smaller but more formal reception room on the second floor.

in the hall.

A man with a big belly sat at the top.

Most likely it was the Deputy Palace Master Liu that Manager Yang mentioned. Fu Changsheng looked up and found that the other party's aura was consistent with Shangguan Feng. He thought that he was most likely at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Everyone came forward to greet him.

Deputy Palace Master Liu pointed to a seat nearby and asked everyone to sit down. He didn't say anything more and went straight to the point:

"Since the three of you are going to guarantee the Fu family, I think the joint liability you have to bear is already very clear, but I will still make a few announcements as usual."

"Please listen carefully, everyone."

"Once the fiefdom of Yunshan County is lost, whether it is caused by monsters or invasion by southern barbarians, you, the Shangguan family, the Liang family, and the Lin family must retake the fiefdom, and you must also pay double compensation for the losses caused to the fiefdom. Do you understand?"

Although we have been prepared.

But Lin Tianfu still felt under a lot of pressure, because Yunshan County not only bordered the Shiwan Mountains, but was also not far from the Yunteng Tribe in the Eastern Wilderness.

But since I have already agreed to be the guarantor.

There is naturally no reason to regret now.

He immediately followed Shangguan Feng and stood up and bowed:
"Master, we understand clearly."

"Well, in that case, then sign this guarantor's commitment document."

talking.

A wave of sleeves.

However, a scroll suddenly appeared, and as he typed a spell into the scroll, thick black smoke began to rise from the scroll. The black smoke condensed into lines of text in the air, which were exactly what Deputy Palace Master Liu had said before. At the bottom of the document, the signature column was still blank.

Shangguan Feng made hand gestures with his right hand, and several magical powers fell on the document, and then his name appeared at the signature. Liang Laozu and Lin Tianfu followed closely behind, and then the three of them each dripped a drop of blood into the scroll. With a humming sound, the scroll began to boil, and unexpectedly a grinning evil ghost emerged. It grinned, opened its mouth, and swallowed the blood of the three people.

Deputy Palace Master Liu made a fierce gesture.

The black light of the scroll faded away, and it turned into a document floating in the air. Manager Yang took it with both hands and placed it on a tray beside him.

Deputy Palace Master Liu then turned his gaze to Fu Changsheng:

"According to the information submitted by the Shangguan family, your merit value has reached the standard. However, in order to be officially recognized as a quasi-ninth-grade family, you must pay a deposit of 20,000 spirit stones."

"do not worry"

"This deposit is only temporarily entrusted to us for safekeeping. When you are officially promoted to a ninth-rank family, the deposit will be returned to you intact."

"Of course"

"According to the agreement, if your fiefdom is lost, this deposit will be used as compensation."

Fu Changsheng was stunned for a moment.

The matter of security deposit.

Shangguan Feng did not mention it to him.

Even Shangguan Feng was apparently unaware of it. The Zhenshi Division had apparently leaked the news, but it had not detailed every step.

Shangguan Feng quickly sent a message:

"Changsheng, how many spirit stones do you have? I will make up for the shortfall."

"Uncle Feng, I have enough spiritual stones."

If the Qiu Taifeng brothers hadn't launched a surprise attack last night.

He really couldn't gather together those 20,000 spirit stones.

Fu Changsheng immediately slapped his storage bag, and a ray of light flashed. Suddenly, boxes floated out. When the boxes were opened, they were filled with neatly arranged low-grade spirit stones.

Deputy Palace Master Liu swept the box with his spiritual sense and narrowed his eyes slightly, because the box contained 21,000 spirit stones, which was obviously 1,000 more.

His expression softened a little at that moment.

Then he waved his sleeves.

A jade slip floated towards Fu Changsheng:

"Written above are the rights and obligations that one obtains upon promotion to a Quasi-Ninth Rank Family. Please read it carefully. If you have any questions, you can ask them before you are conferred the title."

Fu Changsheng took the jade slip and placed it between his eyebrows.

A stream of information flowed into the sea of ​​consciousness.

But I saw dozens of benefits and obligations listed above, and I read them one by one.

There are three that impressed him the most.

First, no tribute is required for the first three years of the fiefdom.

Second, the Zhenshi Division will transport 30,000 mortals to their fiefdoms in three years, which is both a reward and a burden.

Third, if the fiefdom encounters a crisis that cannot be resolved, it can ask for help from the Zhenshisi. The first help will be free, but the follow-up will depend on the specific situation.

Also.

At the end of the jade slip, the standards for promotion to a ninth-rank family are also noted.

Just as he had known before, one hundred imperial merit points, a second-level spiritual vein, two foundation-building masters, and three hundred thousand clansmen.

It seemed to be an incentive for him to get promoted as quickly as possible.

He also mentioned a few additional benefits of being a formal ninth-rank family.

They are the noble families canonized by the imperial court. Their identities are recognized by all the major sects in the Far West and various places in the Northern Frontier, and they can enjoy certain courtesies.

Fu Changsheng took the jade slip from between his eyebrows.

Deputy Palace Master Liu asked again if he had any questions. After seeing that Fu Changsheng had no problem, his expression became much more solemn. He just bowed in the direction of the imperial capital.

Then he waved his sleeves.

A box with a yellow background and dragon pattern was suspended in the air.

Accompanied by a series of spells being cast.

The restrictions in the box were then revealed one by one.

Followed by.

"Roar"

It seemed as if a faint dragon roar was coming from the box.

A ninth-grade jade seal slowly floated towards Fu Changsheng. Deputy Palace Master Liu's expression suddenly became solemn: "Patriarch Fu, drop a drop of blood into the jade seal."

Fu Changsheng looked at the jade seal floating in front of him.

from which.

He could sense a vague dragon power.

Bestow the imperial seal!

This is the highlight of the ennoblement.

On the way here.

Shangguan Feng mentioned it to him.

One of the main reasons why the monks of the Great Zhou Dynasty are trying so hard to be canonized as a noble family by the imperial court is that the moment they obtain the imperial seal, the fortune of the entire family will be blessed.

Luck is a thing.

Extremely mysterious.

Even people at their level can't figure it out.

but.

The fact that the canonized families were so enthusiastic about it was obviously because it had been proven by countless ancestors that it was indeed useful.

Fu Changsheng took a deep breath with some excitement.

He waved his sword.

A drop of blood from the tip of the middle finger fell onto the ninth-grade jade seal.

hum! !

The moment when the blood drips.

A bright golden light lit up.

Followed by.

Runes surged on the flawless blank base of the jade seal, and the word "Fu" suddenly appeared. The moment the word was completed, a mysterious aura fell on his body.

This feeling.

Fu Changsheng didn't know how to describe it, it was just so wonderful.

Deputy Palace Master Liu said:
"The ninth-grade jade seal is a third-level spiritual weapon. Clan leader Fu, please keep it carefully. As for the luck condensed on the jade seal, after you are officially promoted to the ninth grade, you can freely distribute it to the clan members you recognize."

A third-level spiritual weapon! Fu Changsheng's eyes lit up.

He then bowed and said:
"Thank you for your advice, sir."

talking.

A box was handed over inconspicuously from his sleeve.

There was nothing sealed in the box. Deputy Palace Master Liu glanced at it, raised his eyebrows, and said in a voice transmission:
"Patriarch Fu, only when you are truly promoted to a ninth-grade family can you enjoy the real resources of the Great Zhou. Different levels of families have different access to different resources. Patriarch Fu, work hard!"

the end.

He said:
"Remember, please be sure to arrive at Yunshan County on time in three years. Someone will naturally take over from you then."

Finished.

Deputy Palace Master Liu served tea to see the guests off.

Come out from Zhenshisi.

Fu Changsheng sensed the existence of the ninth-grade jade seal, and a feeling of joy arose spontaneously.

Got through a lot of ups and downs.

Their Fu clan was finally canonized as a noble family.

Fulfilled the long-cherished wish of our ancestors.

While I am excited and thrilled, I am also full of infinite longing for the future.

but.

Their Fu family can be where they are today, thanks to Uncle Feng and Miss Hongyu. Otherwise, their Fu family would have to take more detours.

He then bowed to the four people and said:

"Uncle Feng, Fellow Daoist Lin, Fellow Daoist Liang, I'm your host today, let's go to the Zuiyun Tower for a drink."

Lin Tianfu and his wife bowed and said:

"Patriarch Fu, my husband and I are in a hurry to return to Tianlong County. Next time, we will drink to our heart's content."

Elder Liang also stroked his beard and said:

"I have some private matters to attend to. We'll talk again when there's a chance."

A blink of an eye.

The three of them then went about their own business.

Only Fu Changsheng and Shangguan Feng were left there.

Shangguan Feng said:

"Changsheng, there will be a trade fair for foundation-building cultivators tomorrow. Would you like to join us? You can check if there are any suitable materials to refine your life-defining magic weapon, and you can also exchange some cultivation experiences with the people in the channel."

"Thank you Uncle Feng for your support"

Shangguan Feng hadn't finished speaking yet.

Fu Changsheng responded quickly.

The intelligence mentioned that the Human Emperor Banner would appear at the trade fair, and he was determined to get it. He was thinking about how to bring up the matter, so how could he be unwilling to go.

The two agreed to meet early tomorrow morning.

Shangguan Feng went to meet an old friend, while Fu Changsheng went to West Street.

Last night, due to the attack by Qiu Taifeng's brothers, he failed to buy the strange seeds. He can't miss it again this time.

speed up.

After entering West Street.

The vendors setting up stalls on both sides kept shouting.

Fu Changsheng swept his spiritual sense.

From a distance, I could see an old Taoist priest in the middle of the street. His voice was like a huge bell:

"Come, come, come, don't miss it if you pass by. These are the treasures I risked my life to bring out from the Blood Forbidden Land. I'll sell them today. Come, come, come and take a look."

Although the old Taoist shouted very hard.

But no monk stopped at his stall.

Fu Changsheng stood in front of the old woman who was selling mulberry fruits. The old woman smiled and said:
"Fellow Daoist, this is a specialty of our Qianyun Village. The mulberry fruit has a mild medicinal property and can be eaten by even the elderly and children among the secular mortals. Ten mulberry fruits are only sold for nine spirit stones. If you buy more, the old woman will give you mulberry seedlings as gifts. How many do you want, fellow Daoist?"

Mulberry fruit can only grow in a place with abundant fire-attribute spiritual energy.

It usually grows in volcanic magma.

Even if the seedlings are given as a gift, ordinary people cannot keep them alive.

and.

This is a first-grade, low-grade spiritual fruit, which is only helpful for cultivators to draw Qi into the body. If there are no young people in the family, people generally won't buy it, so the old woman's stall is still full of mulberry heart fruits.

After paying a deposit of more than 20,000 yuan.

Fu Changsheng didn't have many spirit stones in his hand, and he had to spend them sparingly, so he just looked around. After changing a few stalls, he finally arrived in front of the Taoist priest in the Blood Forbidden Land.

The old Taoist had noticed Fu Changsheng a long time ago.

Seeing that Fu Changsheng was a stranger, he immediately and enthusiastically introduced the scrap copper and rotten iron he had brought out from the bloody forbidden land. Of course, most of them were not brought out from the forbidden land.

Fu Changsheng glanced at a golden mask on the left. The mask was badly rusted, but when he held it in his hand he could immediately feel an ancient and vicissitudes of life.

The old Taoist saw that Fu Changsheng picked out the genuine product at once, and said immediately:

"Fellow Daoist, you really have a good eye. I found this dragon-shaped mask in a mysterious cave in the Blood Forbidden Land. There was a corpse sitting beside it at the time. I don't know how many years the corpse has been there, but there is no sign of weathering. From this point of view, this dragon-shaped mask must be extraordinary."

"Fellow Daoist, today I see that you have a connection with this mask. You can give me the money to enter the Blood Forbidden Land and take it."

The old Taoist looked very sincere.

but.

The money earned by a late-stage Qi training cultivator is not low.

Fu Changsheng didn't see the use of the mask, so he put it back on the stall and his eyes fell on the three gray seeds.

These seeds.

Half is white, half is black.

And there are faint rune marks inside.

His consciousness swept away.

But I didn't sense any breath of life.

But the intelligence mentioned that one of the three seeds was a living seed.

Immediately he said:
"How do you sell this kind of stuff?"

There are many items displayed on the stalls.

The dragon-shaped mask and the strange seed were among the few that were taken out of the blood-colored forbidden land. The old Taoist saw that Fu Changsheng was right, and muttered in his heart:
"Could this young man have also been into the Bloody Forbidden Land?"

It seems that I have met an expert today.

Whether it was the dragon-shaped mask or the demon seed, he had tried them countless times, but couldn't see anything special about them. He took them to shops to sell, but no shop was willing to take them.

The other monks who didn't know what was going on were even less interested.

So after several years of displaying his goods at the stall, he finally encountered someone asking for the price. After considering for a while, he whispered:

"If you really want it, the seeds and the dragon mask together are 500 spirit stones. This is the lowest price I will offer. I survived many deaths to get these things from the Blood Forbidden Land. I won't sell them for less than a spirit stone."

"Four Hundred and Thirty-Two"

Fu Changsheng responded with a price.

There are both zeros and integers.

This made the old Taoist a little confused and he hesitated for a moment. Could it be that these were all the spirit stones in the other party's bag?

otherwise.

Most people will open an integer.

He gritted his teeth and said:

"make a deal!"

After the payment of silver and goods.

at this time.

The panel in the sea of ​​consciousness space began to vibrate violently:

"Is it finally here?!"

It was canonized as a quasi-ninth-rank family.

The system must have something to say.

He was short of money at the moment and had no intention of going shopping anymore, so he quickly walked towards the inn.

Return to the inn and close the door.

Fu Changsheng immediately set up a new protective array in his room.

After the formation is activated.

Fu Changsheng kept his eyes on the system panel.

I am looking forward to how much contribution points the system will reward for my promotion to a quasi-ninth-grade family.

I waited for about half a cup of tea.

at last.

The panel stopped vibrating.

A familiar mechanical voice suddenly came to my mind:
"Ding"

"You have successfully promoted the Fu family to a quasi-ninth-grade family and obtained three thousand family contribution points!"

Followed by.

The family contribution value on the panel suddenly jumped from four hundred and eighty to three thousand four hundred.

Obviously.

After breaking through to the foundation building stage.

The upper limit of contribution value is no longer one thousand.

Looking at the contribution value of 3,480 on the panel.

Fu Changsheng's eyes glowed.

This is the most contribution value he has ever received!
and.

This is the contribution value obtained by being promoted to a quasi-ninth-rank family.

Then after being promoted to the ninth rank, wouldn’t the number be even more, five thousand, or even six thousand is possible!
After the excitement.

He began to think about how to use this contribution.

If it is used to double the lottery, it can be done more than ten times.

If used in the [Training Room], it is equivalent to having more than ten years of life span than others for training.

Thinking that he would attend the exchange meeting for foundation-building cultivators tomorrow, and since he would be trading items, if he went empty-handed, he would definitely not be able to get the Human Emperor Banner.

"Let's double the draw a few times and see."

It would be best if you could exchange it for Cangming Stone and other items.

If not.

It can also be exchanged for other items at a trade fair.
