Family Rise: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 186: Soul Devouring Insect Evolves, Fourth Sister Establishes Foundation, Aristocratic Families Gather

hum!
After the last Qingguang Wall Talisman was completed, Fu Changsheng glanced at the hourglass beside him. According to the triple time flow rate, nearly four years had passed since he entered the [Training Room], and more than a year had passed outside:

"It's time to get out of seclusion."

A thought.

A flash before his eyes.

The next moment, he returned to the secret room from the [training room].

His divine sense fell on the panel, but he saw that there were only two contribution points left, which could only be exchanged for one piece of information. Fu Changsheng smiled slightly:
"Incorporate the method of making the Qingguang Wall Talisman into the family."

The next moment.
A familiar mechanical voice immediately came to my mind:
"Ding"

"You have added a second-grade high-quality talisman-making method to the family, and obtained 80 contribution points."

This way, you can exchange for forty-one pieces of information.

but.

However, he chose not to redeem it immediately.

According to his previous experience, the closer he was to the source, the more detailed the intelligence information he would obtain. If he guessed correctly, they would be heading to the Qili Mountain Demon Cave soon. He planned that it would not be too late to exchange the information then.

When entering the [Practice Room].

He brought in the Human Emperor Banner, the Cloud Ring Purple Fairy Tower and the Huangshi Medicine Garden.

A wave of his right hand.

There was a gust of cold wind from the Human Emperor Banner, and Qiu Chan's figure flashed out.

Compared to Qiu Chan when they first met, she now not only did not have any ghostly aura, but she actually had more immortal aura than ordinary cultivators. This was obviously due to her practice of the "Jade Divine Art".

Qiu Chan bowed to Fu Changsheng and said happily:
"Master, I have successfully broken through to the peak of the second stage. The Yuelingqiubai flute that you gave me has also been refined. With my current strength, it will not be a problem for me to fight three late-stage foundation-building cultivators alone."

Ever since entering the Human Emperor Banner, and constantly devouring the souls of foundation-building and second-order monsters, Qiu Chan's cultivation speed has advanced by leaps and bounds, and he has now surpassed Fu Changsheng.

Fu Changsheng was very pleased:
"That's right. If there are any more second-level souls, Qiu Chan, you will refine them into ghosts of the Human Emperor Banner and use them for your command."

"Yes, Master!"

Qiu Chan responded with a smile, then flashed into the Human Emperor Banner.

Fu Changsheng put the Human Emperor Banner into his bag and pointed at the Cloud Ring Purple Fairy Tower floating in front of him. Suddenly, a buzzing sound came from the second floor of the tower.

But there was only one slightly larger second-stage mid-stage soul-eating insect.

After the original batch of first-order peak Soul-Eating Insects devoured each other, two second-order Soul-Eating Insects were produced. They also had two pairs of wings and followed behind the larger second-order mid-stage Soul-Eating Insects.

In other words.

He suddenly had two more foundation-building fighters at his disposal:
“I wonder if the fourth-level blue lotus in the Huangshi Medicine Garden has matured.”

A right hand flip.

The Huangshi Medicine Garden is suspended in the palm of your hand.

Divine consciousness penetrates.

I found that the fourth leaf of the fourth-level blue lotus had grown three inches, but it was still a little short of maturity:
"It's a pity."

He had originally thought that he could refine the Three-Transformation Treasure Lotus Lamp in his hand into a spiritual weapon before entering the Demon Realm, but now it seems that he has to wait a little longer.

Clean up.

A spell was cast on the magic circle.

The light curtain surged.

Not long after coming out of the secret room, Fu Changren received the message and rushed over immediately:
"Master, you came out of retreat at the right time. Not long ago, the Zhenshi Division has issued an order that the noble families in Huainan and Huaibei should send no less than two foundation-building masters. If there are only two foundation-building masters in the family, only one can stay behind, and they need to reach Qili Mountain within half a month to join the group. Now there are only five days left, and I was thinking of notifying you to come out of retreat."

There was no surprise on Fu Changsheng's face.

This is similar to what the intelligence mentioned.

What he cared about was whether Fourth Sister and Runzhi had successfully established their foundation:

"Brother, is there any news about Fourth Sister and Runzhi?"

"Look, I almost forgot about this important matter. Fourth sister has successfully established her foundation in three months. As for Runzhi, she sent a message a month ago saying that she failed to establish her foundation and has not yet come out of retreat."

The fourth sister has pretty good talent.

Although her personality seems eccentric on the outside, she is a person of strong mind and good comprehension. Otherwise, she would not have been chosen as the fourth son of the Fu family.

As for why Runzhi failed to build her foundation, we will have to wait until she comes out of seclusion to find out.

Now he only has one foundation-building pill left in his hand, and Runzhi has already failed once, and it is obvious that he cannot build the foundation again in the short term.

This is a mixed blessing.

Fu Changren saw that the atmosphere was a little strange, so he quickly changed the subject and reported the clan's income in the past year.

After the last elders council.

In order to distinguish the profits and operations of fiefdoms and clan lands, separate accounts have been set up.

After listening to this, Fu Changsheng mentioned another matter:
"Brother, before I went into seclusion, I asked Meizhen to help arrange a meeting between you and the granddaughter of Elder Shi. Have you seen it? How did you get along?"

“Just like that”

Fu Changren's face suddenly turned red.

Fu Changsheng saw this and thought that there might be a chance for the two of them. He didn't want to ask his elder brother in person about the situation of Elder Shi's granddaughter and whether there was anything fishy about this marriage.

Fu Changren is over forty years old.

It is obviously too late to talk about marriage now.

If there is nothing abnormal about Elder Shi's granddaughter, the marriage can be arranged as soon as possible.

Fu Changren coughed a few times and quickly brought up another topic:

"Master, after the summons from the Zhenshi Division was issued, Molan has led the clansmen of the Zhengzhan Hall back. In addition, Miss Qingru also rushed over from Yunshan County after learning about this. It seems that she wants to take this opportunity to accumulate merit points from the court in preparation for promotion to the ninth-rank family. The two of them are discussing the matter of going to the Qili Mountain Demon Cave in the meeting room. Master, do you think we should go there now?"

"Um"

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly.

Arrived at the meeting room.

But Fu Molan and Yu Qingru were sitting on the armchairs at the bottom, one on each side. When they saw Fu Changsheng coming in, they quickly stood up, saluted, and sat down.

Fu Changsheng was very satisfied with Yu Qingru's initiative to fight:

"Miss Qingru, if you can gather enough merit points for the imperial court this time, I will then find two more ninth-rank families to guarantee your Yu family and allow you to be promoted to a quasi-ninth-rank family first."

Their Fu family wants to be promoted to the eighth rank.

There are two ninth-rank families in the fiefdom, and Yu Qingru knows them well, so he is naturally happy to support them.

Upon hearing this, Yu Qingru quickly stood up and saluted:
"Thank you, Master!"

Fu Changsheng gestured for the other party to sit down.

He said a few words about the Demon Cave in Qili Mountain.

When Yu Qingru saw that Fu Changsheng wanted to discuss clan affairs, she retreated with a look.

After she leaves.

Fu Changsheng then said:

"Molan, you have returned from the Shiwan Mountains. How is Feilong Market going?"

"Reporting to the Patriarch, the Hundred Thousand Mountain Monsters have been very active recently, and even many Level 2 monsters have escaped from the deep mountains, so they have attracted many foundation-building cultivators to come and hunt. In addition, the Feilong Market has a solid defense array, and with the reputation of the two eighth-grade families, the market has been on the right track soon after it opened."

Because this market town was built.

It provides a transit station for monks who enter the Shiwan Mountains to hunt.

When coming out of the mountains, there is no need to worry about being killed and robbed of treasures due to lack of magic power, nor is there any need to worry about being targeted by the East Wilderness tribe. Therefore, not only foundation-building cultivators, but also many Qi-cultivating cultivators have formed teams to go hunting.

Now there is a hunting trend.

Originally, everyone wanted to go to the place called Wanguiyuan, but now many cultivators have been diverted here. Several peaks on the edge of the Shiwan Mountains have already been cleared out, and they are constantly advancing inward.

From a certain perspective.

It also greatly reduced the border pressure of Yunshan County.

"At the last year-end elders' meeting, the mistress said that we already had 40,000 spirit stones from the Feilong Market public account and our shop operating profits. We should make more money in the second year. By then, we will not only be able to recover our investment, but also make a small profit. Combined with the income from the clan land and fiefdom, the spirit vein in our fiefdom can be promoted to the second-grade upper grade."

One of the conditions for advancement to an eighth-grade family is to possess a third-grade spiritual vein.

The entire Fu family is united.

Combined with the income from Feilong Market, it should not be a problem to upgrade the fiefdom's spiritual vein to a third-level spiritual vein within five to eight years.

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly:
"Molan, this time the Zhenshi Division has issued a conscription order, requiring at least two foundation-building members to go. My fourth sister has just established her foundation, and your sister-in-law Meizhen has just entered the Qi Refining Stage and has been focusing on alchemy. She has too little experience in combat. I'm afraid you will have to go with me this time."

"Master, I understand."

The head of the family trained her to build a foundation, and now it is time for her to give back to the family.

The two discussed for a while.

Fu Changsheng slapped his storage bag, and a flash of light appeared. Then five green light wall talismans floated towards Fu Molan. Fu Molan was stunned for a moment, and then a little surprised:

"Master, have you broken through to become a second-level upper-grade talisman maker?"

After more than a year of seclusion, he broke through from a second-level middle-grade talisman maker to a second-level upper-grade talisman maker. I'm afraid it's hard to find a few people with such talent in the entire Jingzhou.

Wait for Fu Changsheng to nod.

Fu Molan felt extremely ashamed.

Although she had inherited the art of puppetry, she had only just broken through to the level of a first-order peak puppeteer. As for a second-order puppeteer, firstly, she had no second-order spiritual materials to practice with, and secondly, her spiritual awareness was not strong enough to keep up. If she wanted to create a second-order puppet beast, she would have to have spiritual awareness of at least the late stage of foundation building.

At the moment of sending out the talisman.

The familiar mechanical voice came again in Fu Changsheng's mind:

"Ding"

"You gave five second-grade high-quality talismans to your clan members, and received 100 contribution points."

Followed by.

The contribution value on the panel instantly changed from eighty-two to one hundred and eighty-two.

Although there are still five days left, they will go to the two underworlds of Huainan and Huaibei in Qili Mountain to build their foundations. So after Fu Changsheng arranged the clan's miscellaneous affairs, he took Molan and Yu Qingru with him.

Qili Mountain is located in Anyang County.

With Xiaoqing's current flying speed, it will take less than two hours to arrive.

From afar, one could see layers of magic light curtains lighting up Qili Mountain. When one arrived at the mountain gate, one happened to meet monks from the He, Cao, and Ping families who had come as a team.

Two foundation-building warriors from the three families died when they attacked the Yunteng tribe.

Among them, the Cao family and the He family ambushed Fu Changsheng outside the Wanning market, and killed one foundation-building cultivator from each family.

Therefore, this time, only one foundation-building person from the Ping family participated in the battle, which means that there are only two foundation-building people left in the Ping family, while the Cao family and the He family each have two foundation-building people.

But what surprised Fu Changsheng was.

This time, the He family was led by the new patriarch.

Unlike Ping Xinghai who saw a murderous look on his face, the young new chief of the He clan actually nodded slightly to Fu Changsheng in a kind manner.

"Here comes a troublemaker."

After Fu Changsheng returned the gift, he took out his identity token and entered Qili Mountain first.

Ping Xinghai, who was standing behind, immediately gritted his teeth and said:
"Patriarch He, Brother Cao, entering the Demon Realm this time is undoubtedly a great opportunity to kill Fu Changsheng."

The second elder and the third elder of the Cao family looked at each other.

Before they go out.

Chief Cao, who had not yet recovered from his serious injuries, came out again and took them directly into the ancestral hall. He promised in front of the ancestors that there must be no complications this time when they entered the Demon Realm, and they should only focus on killing monsters. He specifically instructed them not to have any thoughts about Fu Changsheng again.

Therefore, the second and third elders of the Cao family acted as if they didn't hear anything and said nothing.

Although the new Patriarch He was the youngest among the five, he said bluntly:
"Fellow Daoist Ping, it's not just our Ninth Rank Family that will be entering the Demon Realm this time. The other four Eighth Rank Family will also be going. If Fellow Daoist Ping doesn't have any information, then I, He, can let Fellow Daoist Ping know."

"The most famous Feilong Market today is jointly planned and built by the eighth-rank Shi family, the Shangguan family and the Fu family. Behind the Fu family stand two eighth-rank noble families. If Fellow Daoist Ping has this intention again, I'm afraid we will have to act separately after entering the Demon Realm."

Basically.

They have no conflict of interest with the Fu family.

and so.

Patriarch He has made up his mind that even if he cannot make friends with the Fu family, he cannot offend them. The Fu family is at its peak, and judging from the trend, it is very likely that they will be promoted to the eighth rank.

Now the He family needs more time to recuperate.

If it weren't for the hundreds of years of alliance between the three families.

When Ping Xinghai said those words, he had already refused to team up with him.

Ping Xinghai looked at the second and third elders of the Cao family. The two old men pretended not to see them and turned their heads away. Ping Xinghai felt angry and furious for a moment, and at the same time, a feeling of powerlessness arose in his heart.

in those days.

Their Heike clan is also a leader among the nine-rank aristocratic families.

He is also the eldest brother of the three-family alliance. Now it seems that the glory of the Heike family is gone forever. Once the conscription order from the Zhenshi Division was issued, the deaths of several elders that the Heike family had originally concealed have been exposed. Now they have no say at all.

Ping Xinghai closed his mouth in disappointment and said nothing more.

Fu Changsheng and the other two entered the Qili Mountain magic circle.

However, the rest of the noble families in Huainan Prefecture had already gathered together, and among them, almost all the ninth-rank noble families had automatically formed a camp under the rule of one of the eighth-rank noble families.

When Lin Tianfu and his wife saw Fu Changsheng and his two companions appear, they stepped forward and greeted them eagerly.

They were under the jurisdiction of the Shangguan family.

In addition, when the Fu family was promoted to a quasi-ninth-rank family, the Lin family had served as a guarantor. Although the two families later had different styles of doing things and rarely interacted with each other, they were still able to maintain their reputation.

After the two greeted each other.

Lin Tianfu said as if jokingly:
"Patriarch Fu, next time you create a Feilong Market, remember to bring my brother along."

Lin Tianfu had personally visited Feilongfang Market and had seen a constant stream of visitors. The Fu family must have made a ton of money.

Lin Tianfu felt a little jealous that Fu Changsheng didn't take him with him.

in those days.

When the Fu family was promoted to the quasi-ninth rank, his Lin family also served as guarantors.

Fu Changsheng responded with a smile.

the other side.

The Cui clan leader under the rule of the eighth-rank Shi family took the initiative to walk over to the camp. The last time the nine ninth-rank families held a council, the Cui family, as the head of the ninth-rank families, held a council for the first time and was almost embarrassed by the Liang family and others, thanks to Fu Changsheng's intervention.

Therefore.

The Cui family still remembers this favor.

Smiling, she said:

"I have heard of Patriarch Fu's name for a long time, and today I finally see him in person!"

We had a brief conversation.

Chief Cui made a soundproof spell and quickly transmitted his voice:

"Patriarch Fu, I heard a rumor that the Demon Realm that our Ninth Rank Family entered this time is different from that of the Eighth Rank Family, so Patriarch Fu, do you think we can team up with our Cui Family?"

The nine ninth-rank aristocratic families in Huainan Prefecture.

The Cui family, Qi family, and Hong family under the rule of the Shi family have sent out the largest number of foundation-building people this time, which has reached fifteen. The number of people from the Fu family and the Lin family combined is only one-third of the other side.

If you join the other camp.

Security is undoubtedly more guaranteed.

but.

He had never dealt with the Cui family, the Qi family, and the Hong family, so naturally he would not easily team up with them, so Fu Changsheng politely bowed.

The two chatted for a while.

Shangguan Hongyu walked out of the eighth-rank family's tent and waved to Fu Changsheng.

After Fu Changsheng and Patriarch Cui apologized, they took a few quick steps and came to Shangguan Hongyu. Shangguan Hongyu then whispered:
"Changsheng, my father has something to tell you, please go in."

"it is good"

Fu Changsheng entered the tent.

The other foundation-building members of the Shangguan family had finished their meeting by this time and had retreated one after another, guarding outside the tent. Only Fu Changsheng and Shangguan Feng were left in the tent.

Shangguan Feng rubbed his eyebrows.

Pointing to a seat beside him, he asked Fu Changsheng to sit down:

"Changsheng, time is limited, so I'll keep it short."

"This time, the Zhenshi Division summoned the two prefectures of Huainan and Huaibei to build their foundation and enter the Demon Realm. This is both an opportunity and a challenge."

"The meaning revealed by the Zhenshi Division is that this time, the entry into the Demon Realm will depend on the performance of each family. The number of places to enter the next Canglan Secret Realm will be allocated based on this performance."

"In the past, when the Canglan Secret Realm was opened, the Ninth Rank Aristocratic Family would have at least one spot. But looking at the situation this time, if the performance in the Demon Realm is not good, I am afraid that many aristocratic families will have to rank zero and miss out on the Canglan Secret Realm."

Fu Changsheng's heart trembled.

The last parliament of the Ninth Rank Family.

The profits of Wanguiyuan and Wanning Market will also be distributed based on the results of this battle in the Demon Realm. In this way, you really have to use your real skills to enter the Demon Realm this time. Otherwise, if you fall at the end, you won't even get a smidgen.

Shangguan Feng paused.

He lowered his voice and said:
"This time, the World Suppression Division spent a lot of money to completely establish the barrier. They specially applied for a lot of foundation-building pills from the court, and they have announced that 10,000 court contribution points can be exchanged for one, and there is no upper limit. So this is also a great opportunity for your Fu family to strengthen its strength."

It is difficult to get a foundation-building pill.

Only the imperial court could issue them, and the mysterious Wanning Chamber of Commerce would occasionally auction them off.

Although the Fu family has the recipe for the Foundation Building Pill, they cannot cook without the right ingredients. Even if they want to refine it, it is difficult to get the mature main medicine for the Foundation Building Pill.

And not long after.

My third brother Fu Changli, Shitou Fu Yongyi, Yulian, the triplets Fan Ge'er, and my adopted son Fu Yongrui all need Foundation Establishment Pills, so if we can accumulate 20,000 imperial contribution points to be promoted to an eighth-grade family during this trip to the Demon Realm, and also exchange them for one or two Foundation Establishment Pills, it would undoubtedly be the best.
