Chapter 232 Taiji Locust Evolution, Huainan Danger, Strange Elixir
"Ding, you saved Pingshan County from danger and received 500 family contribution points."

on the panel.

The family contribution value suddenly rose from one thousand eight hundred and forty to two thousand three hundred and forty.

Fu Changsheng took Yu Lian with him. Because she was pregnant, he did not continue hunting the second-level insect general, but returned directly to the Demon-Controlling City.

Enter through the secret door.

Fan Ge'er took the initiative to go to the door to greet them. When he saw that it was Yu Lian who came back with Fu Changsheng, he was puzzled.

When Fu Changsheng saw his expression, he knew that the other party definitely didn't know that Yu Lian was pregnant. He wanted to say a few words, but when he saw that Fan Ge'er had white hair on his temples, it was obvious that it was caused by him being busy with the clan's affairs.

He swallowed the words back.

He said warmly:
"Brother Fan, your wife is pregnant, please take good care of her."

"what?"

Brother Fan was stunned for a moment.

After reacting.

A look of excitement and excitement:
"I'm going to be a father! I'm going to be a father!!"

He immediately stepped forward to support Yu Lian, fearing that she might get hurt.

Yu Lian saw this.

I felt a pang of guilt.

Before, her husband had always said that he didn’t want to have children too early, and she thought it was because he didn’t like children. But now it seems that he did it so that she could focus on building her foundation.

The news reached the ears of Cai Xiangu.

Cai Xiangu was extremely happy. If it weren’t for the swarm of insects, she would have wanted to set up a few tables.

She held Yulian's hand, tears welling up in her eyes:
"Before, you and your wife said you didn't want to have children. Ten years have passed and you still haven't gotten pregnant. I thought it was a sequelae of your poor health since childhood and that not having children was just an excuse. Thanks to your ancestors, you are finally pregnant now."

On weekdays.

She saw that the mistress always took a detour from afar.

Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Cai Xiangu carefully instructed a series of matters regarding the safe pregnancy. At the end, she could not help but complain a few words:

"You, my child, you were pregnant, but you didn't tell me and went to Pingshan County. You almost made a big mistake. Your baby is the first child of the third generation of the patriarch's direct lineage. If it is a boy, he will be the eldest grandson and will inherit the position of the head of the family in the future."

"Mom, please stop talking about these things. Dad is young and strong."

Yu Lian looked around sensitively.

Afraid of being heard by others.

Cai Xiangu also felt that she had let the cat out of the bag, so she quickly stopped the topic and looked at Yu Lian's belly with anticipation. Of the five children born to the head of the family, Yaoyao and Rong Ge'er had already established their foundations, and even her adopted son Fu Yongyi had also established his foundation, but her son-in-law was still in the Qi Refining stage.

Although he is the steward of the fiefdom.

The title sounds impressive, but just like his uncle, he has been serving the family all his life. I'm afraid the position of the crown prince will never come to his son-in-law.

but.

Now I have a grandson.

Then there is hope.

The position of Crown Prince does not necessarily belong to the son-in-law, but as long as the grandson's qualifications are good enough, the position of Crown Prince is a foregone conclusion.

Cai Xiangu moved her gaze away from Yu Lian's abdomen.

But I saw my daughter was unhappy:
"You can't think too much when you're pregnant, Yulian. If you have any questions, tell me."

Yu Lian bit her lip and then told Cai Xiangu everything about how Pingshan County was attacked by a swarm of insects and how she had done nothing about it.

Cai Xiangu heard this.

I also feel a little guilty.

He thought that he would not be able to protect his daughter for the rest of her life, and that his daughter had already reached the stage of building her foundation, so she would definitely have to go out on missions in the future.

He immediately said:
"Yulian, you are still young, and you can slowly accumulate these experiences. Take advantage of this period of time to take a good look at the military books and fighting experience notes in the family's Sutra Pavilion. As long as you study hard, you will be able to catch up slowly."

"Um"

Yulian doesn't like fighting.

But now she is about to become a mother. A mother must be strong and she must set a good example in front of her children.

The next period of time.

Yu Lian either spends time in the Sutra Repository or on the martial arts stage, a departure from her usual secluded lifestyle of a girl who never steps out of her boudoir.

This is all for later, let’s not mention it for now.

After Fu Changsheng returned to Yuyao City, he immediately sent a message to Master Yu. After Master Yu's team returned, Fu Changsheng told him about Pingshan County being besieged by the beast tide, and finally said:
"Uncle Yu, only Shitou and my third brother are guarding the Anyang County clan land. If the insect tide attacks the mountain, I'm afraid that they don't have enough experience and can't hold it. Uncle Yu will have to return to Luofeng Mountain to take charge."

"Well, that's fine. If you encounter any problems with the control of the formations in the Demon Control City that you don't understand, just ask Yaoyao. Although this girl has a lively personality, she is very rigorous when it comes to formations. Leave the Demon Control City to her, so you don't have to worry."

I am afraid that something might happen if I delay.

Master Yu returned to Luofeng Mountain in Anyang County overnight.

Fu Changsheng and Fu Changli automatically formed a team. The two teams cleared out the second-level insect generals near the fiefdom for more than a month. The number of second-level Tai Chi locusts killed alone was almost eighty.

However, the number of second-level insect generals did not decrease.

On the contrary, there are more and more.

Also.

Whether it is the second-level insect general or even the first-level Tai Chi locust, they have become much smarter and more difficult to deal with than at the beginning. Just let them develop.

I'm afraid.

The Tai Chi locusts quickly evolved into second-level insect generals.

If a third-level insect king is born at that time, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The head of the ninth-rank family convened the parliament again.

Fu Changsheng's figure was led to the aristocratic family meeting hall.

Glanced.

It was discovered that the originally vacant position of the Cao family was now filled by the Second Elder Cao. Obviously, the Second Elder Cao had become the new head of the Cao family.

The Cui family, the Hong family, the Qi family, the He family, the Lin family and the Cao family have all arrived, except the Liang family.

Patriarch Cui explained:

"I have just sent a message to Chief Liang, and he replied that their mountain is under attack by a swarm of insects. We should wait a little longer."

Mention it.

Patriarch He sent a message to Fu Changsheng:

"Patriarch Fu, has your fiefdom ever been attacked by a swarm of insects?"

"Well, the insect swarms in the Yuyao City of Yunshan County tried once, and when they saw they couldn't take it down, they immediately retreated. However, the fiefdom of Pingshan County has been attacked three times."

and.

Each time more ferocious than the last.

to this end.

Fu Changsheng sent Fu Changli and Liu Runzhi to Pingshan County, and also left Qingmang and Qiu Chan in Pingshan County. Together with the newly refined second-level puppet that Molan had recently activated, it was equivalent to eleven foundation-building combat forces guarding Pingshan County.

Patriarch He said with admiration:

"Patriarch Fu, your Fu family is still able to hold on to the three strongholds. You really have a deep foundation. Our He family is guarding one place, and we were almost breached by the insect swarm several times. The most recent time, we almost lost a foundation-building elder. Although his life was saved,..."

Patriarch He shook his head.

Worriedly said:
"The Taiji locusts are evolving too fast. If we can't come up with an effective countermeasure, I'm afraid that sooner or later we won't be able to defend the mountain gate!"

They, the foundation-building cultivators, can also escape to Wanning Market for refuge like the Cao family did.

Once the Kezu Mountain is breached.

Not only is the spiritual vein gone.

Even the mortals in the tribe will become food for the Tai Chi locusts.

The two major foundations of the family have been destroyed, and it will be difficult to revive them.

On the contrary, although the Lin family was sidelined by the Shangguan family, it was a blessing in disguise as they had many foundation-building cultivators from the Shangguan family to help guard the mountain gate.

If not.

How could they hold on relying solely on Chief Lin who was still seriously injured?

Everyone complained bitterly.

Obviously they are all struggling.

After some exchanges.

Patriarch He said enviously:

"Patriarch Fu, now it seems that your Fu family's move to build the Demon Control City was undoubtedly the right one."

The Demon-Defending City is as solid as a rock.

There is almost no need to build a foundation to guard it.

if
If he had gritted his teeth and built a small city even if it meant borrowing money, the pressure wouldn't have been so great.

Among them, the three giants, Cui family, Qi family and Hong family, originally built a small city with three families, and now they have transferred all the mortals there. Even if the clan mountain is breached, there is still another line of defense.

and so.

Although it is not as easy as the Fu family, it is still slightly better than the situation of other aristocratic families.

Plus the three of them help each other.

Whenever one of them is in trouble, the other two will quickly provide support, so there has been no loss so far.

Everyone waited for an hour.

When everyone was wondering whether something unexpected had happened to the Liang family, a black light surged in the direction of the Liang family, and the figure of the Liang clan leader was projected down.

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At this stage.

Everyone hopes that each family can remain strong.

Because once a family falls, the pressure from the insect swarm they will face will increase greatly.

Patriarch Cui said with concern:

"Patriarch Liang, is your fiefdom all right?"

Bring this up.

Patriarch Liang felt a little scared.

Just now, the swarm of insects had broken through a core of the formation and swarmed in. If he had not sacrificed the family talisman at the critical moment, the clan mountain would have become a wilderness by now.

But the family talisman becomes less each time it is used.

From the outbreak of the insect swarm to now.

It has been used three times.

A few more times.

I’m afraid the mountain gate cannot be defended.

Therefore.

Patriarch Liang said without hesitation:
"Have you received any information from your superior family on how to expel the insect tide?"

The eighth-grade Shangguan family, Gongsun family, Nangong family and Shi family were all unable to escape the attacks of the insect swarm, but the foundation and foundation-building combat power of the eighth-grade families were beyond the reach of their ninth-grade counterparts.

Chief Cui shook his head and said:

"I haven't received the specific method." "However, these insect swarms attacked the Eighth-Rank Shi Family, Shangguan Family, and Nangong Family once respectively, and then they had no intention of attacking their fiefdoms again. The weaker Gongsun Family used third-rank spiritual treasures to severely damage the insect swarms several times, and the insect swarms also cleverly avoided the Gongsun Family."

"The insect swarm is now targeting our Ninth Rank Aristocratic Family."

"Does anyone have any suggestions for resisting the insect tide?"

If everyone took effective measures, they wouldn't be so worried.

Fu Changsheng pondered for a while and said:

"We still have to report this to the Zhenshi Division as soon as possible and ask them to organize people to resist the insect tide. After conquering the Cao family's land, the insect tide has not conquered the rest of the fiefdoms. After repeated setbacks, coupled with the increasingly fast evolving insect generals, I'm afraid that the next insect tide will concentrate its strength on attacking only one place."

Currently the insect swarm is dispersing its attacks.

Their ninth-rank aristocratic families are all struggling to survive.

If the insect swarm attacks in a concentrated manner, no one present would have the confidence to resist the crazy attack of the insect swarm.

Everyone's expressions changed continuously.

Patriarch Cui nodded and said:

"What Patriarch Fu said is absolutely right. That's why we gathered everyone here this time because we want all of our Huainan Prefecture's ninth-rank families to sign a joint letter and report the truth to the Zhenshi Division."

Once the fiefdom of the ninth-rank family is broken.

Then the next one is the fiefdom of the eighth-rank family.

The insect swarm is like a snowball that keeps growing bigger and bigger. In the end, it will be difficult for the imperial court to take action to control it.

Patriarch He said quickly:

“I agree to sign the petition.”

"I agree"

"I have no opinion"

After everyone made a unanimous decision.

The above-mentioned document was drafted by Patriarch Cui himself, and then stamped with the family seal by the heads of each family. The document was sent to the Zhenshi Division in Wanning Market at an extremely fast speed.

When Palace Master Xu received the document, he threw it aside and shook his head.

After the insect swarm broke out.

She reported the matter to the imperial court immediately and captured a batch of Tai Chi locusts alive and sent them to Jingzhou. The imperial court had a department that specialized in studying insect monsters, and judging from the progress, they would probably have received information by now.

really.

After a few days.

She received an order.

soon.

All the major families received the conscription order:
"The major families in Huainan Prefecture will send their most powerful members to meet at Yunmu Mountain in three days."

Received a call-up order.

Fu Changsheng pondered the literal meaning.

This time we went to Mica Mountain.

Not only the ninth-rank families, but even the eighth-rank families will go there.

and.

Still the highest combat power.

Obviously, this mission is full of dangers.

Wait until he leaves.

Only Yaoyao, Rongger and Yulian are left in Yunshan County. Both of them are young and inexperienced. Fu Changsheng is still worried and his eyes fall on Liu Meizhen's secret retreat room.

He hesitated.

Still arrived at the door of the secret room.

Tried to ring the alarm at the door.

Waited for a while.

Seeing that the secret room was not opened, Fu Changsheng sighed. It seemed that Mei Zhen was probably in the critical moment of retreat.

Fu Changsheng thought about it for a while.

He was planning to select a Foundation Establishment clan member who could keep the peace from Pingshan County to exchange with Rong Ge'er, and was about to take out the jade talisman for communication.

Rumble.

The door to the secret room behind him opened.

A medicinal aroma wafted into the air.

"Is Meizhen refining the elixir in seclusion?"

After obtaining the Dragon and Phoenix Taixu Cauldron, Liu Meizhen did not need to go to the House of Earth Fire because there was a strange fire in the cauldron, so Fu Changsheng walked into the secret room.

A voice came from the alchemy room:

"Husband, wait for me for two more days."

Although the alchemy room is forged from Wushi.

But standing at the entrance of the cave, you can still feel the hot breath coming from inside.

Obviously.

Liu Meizhen's furnace of elixir has not yet been refined.

Fu Changsheng closed the cave magic circle and immediately sat cross-legged in meditation.

Mica Mountain is not very far from their Yunshan County, and at his speed it would take him one day to get there.

As the fragrance of the elixir in the alchemy room became stronger.

A buzzing sound.

But then I heard the sound of the top cover being opened.

Fu Changsheng's eyes suddenly opened. Two days had passed. At this moment, the door of the alchemy room opened with a bang, and Liu Meizhen, with a haggard face, walked out of the alchemy room.

A couple.

Haven't seen him for seven or eight years.

Although it is very common for monks.

However, when the two met, there was some joy in their eyes:
"Meizhen, thank you for your hard work over the years."

Fu Changsheng stepped forward and pulled Liu Meizhen to sit down together.

During his retreat.

Meizhen has done a lot of practical things for the clan.

Fu Changsheng told the story of the insect outbreak, and finally said:
"Meizhen, I'll have to trouble you to help take charge of Yunshan County. I'll have to leave for Yunmu Mountain soon."

Liu Meizhen heard this.

There was a look of worry on his face.

A flick of the wrist.

A pill bottle with a white background and leaf patterns appeared in his hand.

Fu Changsheng took a glance.

This was the first time he had seen this elixir.

Liu Meizhen stuffed the pill bottle into Fu Changsheng's hands:
"My dear husband, this is an ancient elixir made with Nine-Flower Jade Dew Grass as the main ingredient, and Morinda officinalis, Yinshi Impermanence Magic Flower, Natural Stone, and Star Sand as auxiliary ingredients. It is called Wild Beast Pill."

Wild beast pill?
Obviously.

Mei Zhen had been in seclusion for so long just to refine this pill.

Fu Changsheng's heart moved:
"Meizhen, what is the effect of this wild beast pill?"

"I got this ancient pill recipe from the Canglan Secret Realm. The recipe says that after taking the Wild Beast Pill and refining the medicinal power, a strange energy will emanate from your body. This energy can evade the five senses of the monster beast, allowing you to walk in front of it like an invisible person. As long as you don't reveal your murderous intent and make the monster beast feel uneasy, they won't be able to recognize you approaching. However, the medicinal fragrance only lasts for half a cup of tea."

"When you go to Mica Mountain this time, take this pill with you, just in case."

And it has such miraculous effects.

Fu Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then looked at the pill bottle with joy, only to find that there was only one elixir in it: "Meizhen, what grade is this elixir? Do you still have the materials needed to make it?"

If it can be refined in large quantities.

This is for the coming beast tide.

It is undoubtedly of great use.

Liu Meizhen shook her head:
"At that time, there was only one spiritual medicine sealed together with the pill formula. I also tried my best to refine it into a pill. As for the grade, the pill formula did not specify it, but the difficulty of refining it is no less than that of a second-grade high-quality spiritual pill."

Hear the words.

Fu Changsheng thought to himself what a pity.

He immediately and solemnly put the pill bottle into the storage bag, feeling quite moved:
"Meizhen, with your wild beast pill, I have an extra trump card in my hand. By the way, Meizhen, I have good news for you. Yulian has been pregnant for nearly three months. In a few months, you will be a grandmother."

“This is a good thing”

Liu Meizhen responded.

Parting time.

He once again reminded Fu Changsheng to be more careful.

Before Fu Changsheng leaves.

I decided to exchange some information first, and immediately had an idea:
"Exchange Information"

hum!
The panel vibrates.

A large amount of yellow light surged.

Then lines of text appeared:

【1:.】

Mica Mountain.

A flag of the Zhenshisi was placed halfway up the mountain, and an abandoned cave had been opened up.

among them.

Dongfuzhong.

Clan leaders He, Liang, Lin, Cui, Cao, Qi, and Hong have already arrived, with He and Liang arriving a day early, and the others also arriving several hours early.

Patriarch Cui saw that Fu Changsheng had not arrived yet.

He turned around and asked Patriarch He:

"Chief He, have you contacted Chief Fu?"

Every gathering.

According to the family level.

Lower-ranking families like them usually have to arrive first, otherwise it would be unreasonable to let the eighth-ranking families wait for them.

Patriarch He shook his head and said:

"No contact. Patriarch Fu must have been delayed by something. Let's wait a little longer."

talking.

Patriarch He whispered:

"Patriarch Cui, have you heard who from the Zhenshi Division summoned us here?"
