Family Rise: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 248 Breakthrough, Natural Sword Species, Family Future Plan
After Fu Changsheng cleared his mind, he had an idea:
"Open [Practice Room]"

hum!
The panel vibrates.

A large amount of yellow light surged.

Then, there was a flash before his eyes, and the next moment he appeared in the [Training Room]. He had been in and out of the training room many times, and walked to the cushion to sit and meditate with ease.

Fu Changsheng waved his sleeves.

Suddenly a jade slip fell into his palm.

If one wants to refine the Red Lotus Earth Core Fire, it is naturally not enough to rely solely on the Purple Rose Sky Star Fruit. After all, that is the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire that ranks 86th on the Strange Fire Rankings.

This jade slip records the "Five Elements Hunyuan Sacrificial Refining Array", which was given to him by Grandmaster Yu specifically for using to sacrifice to the Red Lotus Earth Core Fire. It is densely marked with his insights into this array. He has had the Red Lotus Earth Core Fire for many years, and he has thoroughly comprehended this sacrificial refining array.

just in case.

After reviewing it several times.

Fu Changsheng's eyes suddenly opened.

He slapped the storage bag, and a bright light appeared. Five boxes suddenly popped out.

In the box there are Qingmu Spirit Crystal, Nanming Lihuo Stone, Gengjin Stone, Xuanshui Hanyu and Houtu Spirit Pearl.

Treasures of five attributes fell on the five directions of southeast, northwest, northeast and center as he flicked his index finger, and combined with the medium-sized spirit gathering array formed by medium-grade spirit stones, they formed the foundation of the "Five Elements Hunyuan Sacrifice Array".

"call"

After completing the array base layout.

The next step is the most time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Fu Changsheng took a deep breath.

Use one's own essence and blood as the guide.

He began to draw array patterns on the array base.

The shape of the array is like a huge five elements and eight trigrams diagram.

Interspersed among them are countless Hunyuan runes.

These Hunyuan runes are the key to integrating the power of the five elements. They connect the power of the five elements array base to form a circulating spiritual power circuit.

A few months later.

hum!
As the last array pattern was written.

The entire Five Elements Hunyuan Sacrifice Array was instantly lit up.

Formation rises.

Next comes the highlight of the ritual.

Fu Changsheng was engraving the array patterns non-stop, but he did not show any sign of fatigue, and his magic power did not decrease at all. This was the magic of the [Training Room].

If not.

If you put it outside.

It would take one or two years just to engrave the Five Elements Hunyuan Sacrifice Array. After all, engraving the array patterns consumes a lot of mental energy, and no cultivator can work day and night for months.

Fu Changsheng slapped his storage bag.

A flash of glow.

A box with a white background and red patterns suddenly appeared.

The moment the restriction on the box was opened.

boom!
A ball of flame suddenly shot up into the sky, and the temperature of the entire space instantly rose. Fu Changsheng hurriedly mobilized his magic power to introduce the red lotus core fire into the formation.

hum!
at the same time.

The five elements power of the Five Elements Hunyuan Sacrifice Array was activated at the same time.

The wood spiritual power released by the Qingmu Spirit Crystal entangled the Red Lotus Core Fire, the flame power of the Nanming Lihuo Stone blended with the Red Lotus Core Fire, the gold spiritual power of the Gengjin Stone cut the impurities in the Red Lotus Core Fire, the cold water power of the Xuanshui Hanyu cooled the violent Red Lotus Core Fire, and the earth spiritual power of the Houtu Spirit Pearl fixed the Red Lotus Core Fire firmly in the center of the formation.

As the formation operates.

A few months later.

A strand of red lotus earth core fire as thick as a hair was refined.

Fu Changsheng quickly made hand gestures and took the refined strange fire into his body. At the same time, he practiced the "Green Emperor's Longevity Art". The magic power in his body wrapped the strange fire and let it circulate along the two bridges of heaven and earth.

"boom!"

however.

Even though this strand of strange fire was only as thick as a hair, the energy it contained was still too wild, like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. He couldn't tame it at all:
"As expected, we still need the Purple Star Fruit!"

Fu Changsheng was well prepared and swallowed a piece of fruit flesh into his stomach. The Purple Star Fruit melted in his mouth and turned into a soft starlight that enveloped the strange fire. Fu Changsheng hurriedly practiced the "Green Emperor's Longevity Secret" again.

Tick ​​tock!

Tick ​​tock! !
After the three great Zhoutian.

This strange fire was finally completely tamed.

As a reward.

His magical powers also improved a lot, as if he had swallowed a second-grade top-quality elixir.

A thought.

This strange fire immediately roared out from his body and lingered around his fingertips, as if it had a spirit and was extremely obedient:

"Well, at least my efforts were not in vain!"

Cultivation has no time.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

Along with the last wisp of red lotus core fire being refined.

The mana in Fu Changsheng's body has also accumulated to a considerable level:

"It's time to reach the peak of foundation building!"

Take a deep breath.

Fu Changsheng slapped his storage bag and replenished the spirit stones consumed by the spirit gathering array.

"call"

After exhaling the foul air in your body.

Fu Changsheng first guided the wood attribute spiritual power in his body from the Qi Hai Dantian, and slowly ascended along the Ren Mai. When the wood attribute spiritual power reached the Tan Zhong point, the wood attribute spiritual power began to blend with the fire attribute spiritual power.

The uniqueness of "The Green Emperor's Secret of Immortality".

The key is to be able to skillfully combine the two attributes of wood and fire.

The blended spiritual power began to swirl around the dantian, forming a spiritual power vortex.

The vortex spun faster and faster, like a spiritual power storm, constantly absorbing the mana liquid transformed from Fu Changsheng's sacrifice of the Red Lotus Earth Core Fire. With the continuous infusion of the mana liquid, the power of the spiritual power vortex became stronger and stronger. Fu Changsheng's meridians began to bear tremendous pressure. He gritted his teeth and persisted, silently reciting the mantra of the Green Emperor's Longevity Secret, guiding the spiritual power vortex to impact the barrier at the peak of foundation building.

"boom!"

The originally indestructible barrier shattered with a crackling sound.

A powerful spiritual power spread out from Fu Changsheng's Dantian and instantly spread throughout his meridians. A layer of green and red light appeared around his body, which was a sign that the wood and fire attribute spiritual power had reached a new height:
"The pinnacle of foundation building!"

Fu Changsheng delightedly felt the changes after the breakthrough.

When the ninth level of foundation building was reached, the spiritual energy still contained some impurities, like a spiritual spring mixed with dust and sand.

However, as the breakthrough process began, the skills started to run like a spinning spirit wheel, and spiritual power roared through the meridians, as if being tempered by spiritual flames, with impurities gradually removed.

The meridians are also widened.

The meridian channels that were narrow in the past now seem to have been opened up by the spiritual axe, becoming vast and wide. The flow of spiritual energy in them is like the whistling spiritual wind, reaching every part of the body in an instant.

Fu Changsheng murmured:
"No wonder Uncle Feng's spells were almost instantaneous when I saw him perform before. I see that's why."

This is the horror of reaching the peak of foundation building.

Fu Changsheng was happy.

Look inside the Dantian.

The Qi Hai Dan Tian undergoes wonderful changes during the breakthrough process:
"what?"

The spatial structure inside the Dantian seemed to be re-carved by spiritual seals, becoming intricate and complex, just like a spiritual palace with many spiritual rooms carved out by spiritual workers.

This structural change makes the storage of spiritual power in Dantian as stable as storing spiritual crystals in a box:
"Yes, the stability of Dantian has also been greatly enhanced."

Fu Changsheng was very satisfied.

At the ninth level of foundation building.

Dantian is easily affected by the fluctuations of external spiritual tides, just like a candle in the wind.

When it reaches the peak of foundation building, Dantian is like a spiritual fortress protected by a spiritual shield, which can resist external spiritual disturbances and ensure the stable storage and smooth operation of spiritual power:
"See how the spiritual consciousness changes."

After sensing it.

Fu Changsheng's smile deepened:
"The sensitivity of my spiritual consciousness has increased nearly tenfold!"

At the ninth level of foundation building, the range of spiritual awareness was only a few dozen feet in radius, like a small world shrouded in spiritual mist.

now.

His spiritual sense can cover an area of ​​hundreds of feet in radius, as if his spiritual eyes were wide open, and he can clearly sense the spiritual energy tides, the movements of demons and spirits, and other situations within this range.

After spending more than half a year consolidating his cultivation.

One shot storage bag.

A flash of glow.

The Star Coffin appears before your eyes:
"It's time to practice the Nine Heavens Star Art."

the other side.

After making sure the beast tide has subsided.

Fan Ge'er, who was hiding in the underground city, also came out with his tribesmen one after another. Fan Ge'er began to organize people to gather battlefield supplies without even getting on the ground.

Materials for tens of thousands of first-level monsters and hundreds of second-level monsters.

It is a pity that many were destroyed in the war, but the number gathered together was considerable, directly reaching more than 100,000 spirit stones.

but.

When activating the Demon Control City Formation.

However, it cost hundreds of medium-grade spirit stones, which means tens of thousands of costs were deducted. In addition, the outer city of Yuyao City was completely destroyed, and the inner city was also riddled with holes. All of these required the purchase of spirit materials and labor.

Do the math.

The account book was actually wiped out.

because.

After the beast tide.

The materials of monsters are definitely not valuable. Even if they are refined into magical instruments and talismans, they cannot be sold for a while.

first.

All the monsters in the Shiwan Mountains were wiped out.

In the short term.

No one went into the mountain at all.

Secondly.

It is not easy to survive this beast tide, even for aristocratic families. Everyone needs to conserve their strength. There will be no war for at least ten years.

There is no war.

As a result, magical instruments, talismans, and healing elixirs became unsalable.

Brother Fan finished his work and put the monster materials into storage.

They immediately began to register the contribution points made by the tribesmen in this beast tide.

This was originally the responsibility of Fu Molan, but because the other party was currently in the clan territory of Anyang County, Fan Ge'er took over temporarily.

Outside the Reward and Punishment Hall.

There were crowds of people, and everyone was so excited that they lined up in small lines, as excited as if it was New Year's Day.

among them.

Fu Yonghan, who was behind Fu Yongqi, whispered:
"Captain, did Brother Yongfu look for you last night?"

These days.

Fu Yongfu frequently visits his brothers and sisters of the Yong generation. I heard that it is to raise contribution points.

Some people in the clan vaguely speculated that Fu Yongfu was probably trying to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Fu Yonghan glanced around and quickly transmitted his voice:
"Captain, listen to me. You have quite a bit of contribution points in your hands, so you can't lend them to Brother Yongfu. The number of Foundation Establishment Pills is limited. Once Brother Yongfu exchanges them, I'm afraid it won't be your turn when you have enough contribution points."

Fu Yongqi remained calm.

in fact.

Not only Fu Yongfu came to see him, but even Fu Yongdan and Fu Yongshang came in person. The three of them were the second in command of the Talisman Making Hall, Alchemy Hall, and Business Department respectively. In particular, Fu Yongfu and Fu Yongdan were the eldest disciples of the master and mistress of the family respectively.

They both spoke.

Even for the sake of the master and mistress of the house.

I'm afraid few people would refuse, but compared to the two of them, the exchange conditions offered by Fu Yongshang made it impossible for him to refuse.

Therefore.

He has yet to respond.

Standing in the queue at this time, he saw Fu Yongdan and the other two looking at him from time to time, and Fu Yongqi felt the pressure suddenly increased.

In the previous beast tide.

Because of his fearless and desperate attitude, the number of monsters he killed ranked third among the Qi Refining people, except for Cai Xiangu and Fu Yongfu.

The contribution value is naturally so much that it makes people jealous.

and so.

He will become a competitor among Fu Yongdan's three foundation-building candidates.

Brother Fan read out the name:
"Fu Yongqi"

Fu Yongqi didn't react. It was Fu Yonghan who reminded him behind him that hurried forward and handed over his identity token.

Fan Ge'er verified the portrait in the photo pod that showed the number of monsters killed by Fu Yongqi.

Only then were 1,688 contribution points entered onto Fu Yongqi's identity token.

Fu Yongqi just walked out of the reward hall door.

Fu Yongdan and Fu Yongfu came over, but Fu Yongshang stood outside the crowd, moving his lips and quickly transmitting a message:
"Yongqi, in addition to the conditions I promised you yesterday, I will return you three times the contribution points in the future."

Fu Yongqi was originally a little hesitant.

Hearing Fu Yongshang's promise.

He immediately smiled, bowed to Fu Yongdan and Fu Yongfu, and walked straight towards Fu Yongshang.

Fu Yongdan and Fu Yongfu looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Talking about doing business.

The two of them together are no match for Fu Yongfu.

From the information they got.

With Fu Yongqi's contribution points, Fu Yongshang has accumulated enough 10,000 contribution points to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Fu Yongdan winked at Fu Yongfu:
"Sixth brother, I just got a pound of good tea. Do you want to share it?"

Fu Yongfu understood what he meant.

Followed Fu Yongdan to the Alchemy Peak.

Fu Yongdan's cave is located on the bank of Lingfeng Mountain. The entrance to the cave is a stone gate with mottled moss on it and stone statues of mythical beasts on both sides.

Entering the cave, the front hall is paved with spiritual jade, and night-shining pearls are inlaid on the wall, casting a soft light. There is a stone table and stone bench in the hall, and some alchemy runes are engraved on the stone table, which are the marks of Fu Yongdan's study of alchemy.

On the wall hangs a scroll of paintings by the ancestors of alchemy.

After the guest of honor took his seat.

Fu Yongfu is a straightforward person, he said directly:
"Ninth sister, do you want to know how many foundation-building pills are left in the clan?"

"Sixth brother is really straightforward."

Fu Yongdan felt a little embarrassed when his little thoughts were revealed.

Cough slightly.

Opening:
"Sixth brother, now that fifth brother has already collected 10,000 contribution points ahead of us, if there is only one foundation-building pill left in the clan, then the two of us don't have to go around asking for favors. We can just save up for a few years. You are the eldest disciple of the patriarch, can you give me some information?"

Fu Yongfu heard this.

He smiled and shook his head:
"Ninth sister, how could the head of the family easily tell me such a confidential matter as the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Fu Yongdan thought about it and agreed.

Fu Yongfu hesitated for a moment and added:
"However, if we count them carefully, after the patriarch came back from the auction at the Wanning Chamber of Commerce, he gave one foundation-building pill each to Elder Runzhi, Elder Yongyi, and Elder Yulian. In addition, there was one each to the Liu family, the Wu family in Anyang County, and the Yu family, which has now been promoted to the ninth rank. Including the eldest lady, there are seven in total."

Seven foundation-building pills? !

Fu Yongdan was almost oblivious to what was happening outside, and was completely focused on alchemy. When he heard this number, he was a little dumbfounded.

If Fu Yongshang who is about to be exchanged is included.

That means there are eight foundation-building pills in total, and Elder Runzhi has built his foundation twice, so it is not certain that the others will succeed in one go.

Fu Yongdan seemed to have lost all his energy and spirit, and murmured:
"Sixth brother, if that's the case, then don't we have no hope?"

"How can there be no hope!"

Fu Yongfu looked disapproving.

With certainty:
"Our Fu family is thriving, and promotion to the eighth rank is just around the corner. Do you think the clan is still short of our foundation-building pill? As long as we gather enough contribution points, the elders of the family will naturally pave the way for us."

"Of course"

The conversation turned.

Fu Yongfu frowned:
"The premise is that we can out-compete the rest of the brothers and sisters in the clan. Talents emerge in every generation. I heard from the Council of Elders that when Foundation Establishment Pills are limited, they will be given priority to clan members with higher talents under the same conditions. Now we are almost forty years old. If we wait a few more years, we will be outclassed."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yongdan's face turned serious.

After Fu Yongshang borrowed contribution points from Fu Yongqi, he went straight to find Liu Meizhen, who was discussing the general affairs of the Yu family with Yun Bozi.

The door of the council hall was closed.

Liu Meizhen sat in the main seat, and Yun Bozi was at the lower left.

Liu Meizhen said:
"Fellow Daoist Yu, are you clear about the situation of the noble families? Which eighth-rank noble family does your Yu family belong to?"

Since you are going.

The natural thing is to clarify the situation.

Yun Bozi said truthfully:
"Reporting to the mistress, our Yu family was originally under the jurisdiction of the eighth-rank Jin family. Later, after the Tang family was promoted to the eighth rank, it was transferred to the Tang family. The Yu family had no marriage alliance with the Tang family before."

Tang family?

Liu Meizhen seemed to remember something.

Seems unsure:
"You are talking about the Tang family. Their young patriarch is called Tang Yunfeng?"

"exactly"

Yun Bozi's heart moved.

He said quickly:
"Madam, is it possible that our Fu family has some kind of relationship with Tang Yunfeng? It is rumored that Tang Yunjian is a natural swordsman with an extraordinary talent for swordsmanship. He has cultivated the sword intent at a young age."

That can't be wrong.

Liu Meizhen picked up the teacup on the coffee table, took a sip of Wuling tea, suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, and waited until her mood calmed down before she said lightly:
"I only vaguely heard someone mention this person when I went to Jingzhou last time."

Yun Bozi felt it was a pity in his heart. After all, if he really got to know Tang Yunjian, things would be much easier. After all, Tang Yunjian was the treasure of the Tang family, and the Yu family was under the rule of the Tang family.

The two discussed for a while.

When Liu Meizhen brought tea again, Yun Bozi tactfully retreated. The door of the meeting hall opened, and after Fu Yongshang got permission, he quickly stepped forward and bowed:
"Meet the Madam"

"Um"

Liu Meizhen pointed to the armchair at the bottom and asked Fu Yongshang to take a seat. She was obviously very friendly to this business genius:
"I heard that you have been raising contribution points everywhere these days. Are you going to exchange them for foundation-building pills?"

"The mistress is truly as good at predicting things as a god."

Fu Yongshang quickly stood up, bowed, and then turned his face to say:
"Madam, in addition to exchanging the Foundation Establishment Pill, I have another important matter I want to discuss with you."

Liu Meizhen nodded.

Motioned for him to continue.

Fu Yongshang paused and said slowly:
"Madam, now that the beast tide has just passed, no matter which family it is, they have accumulated a certain amount of monster materials. In the past ten years, in our Huainan Prefecture, these monster materials will definitely not be sold at a high price."

"If we take this opportunity to collect the monster materials from the noble families, and then sell them in the mansion, we will definitely be able to get a good price."

Obviously.

Fu Yongshang heard the news.

Liu Meizhen was about to go to the mansion, so she had this idea.

Seeing that Liu Meizhen had no intention of stopping him, he simply plucked up his courage and continued, "Madam, our clan can take advantage of this opportunity to go to the mansion to survey the market and rent a shop in the market to sell the monster materials we purchased this time. After we gain a firm foothold, we can form a caravan to specialize in the Huainan business. This way, we can not only expand our Fu family's social circle, but also get access to more resources."

"Madam, this is the detailed plan I wrote. Please take a look at it."

talking.

Fu Yongshang took out a thick book from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands.

Liu Meizhen flipped through a few pages.

He kept nodding.

I immediately closed the book and praised:
"Xiao Wu, your idea is good. I will discuss this matter specifically at the upcoming elders' meeting. In addition, your exchange for the foundation-building pill will also be mentioned. Just go back and wait for the news."

"Yes, Madam."

Fu Yongshang breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't know whether there were foundation-building pills in the clan, but he estimated that even if there were, there would probably only be one or two.

The sixth brother and the ninth sister are not only the heads of the Talisman Making Hall and the Alchemy Hall, but they are also the eldest disciples of the family master and mistress.

He wanted to stand out.

Then he must make some achievements. If the clan really wants to open up a trade route, the leader must have the foundation-building cultivation. All in all, he is the most suitable candidate, so if the conditions are similar, there is only one foundation-building pill left.

The clan should give him priority.

Although I think so.

But in the next few days.

Fu Yongshang felt like every day was a year.

When Elder Molan, Elder Changli and others returned from the clan in Anyang County and the clan convened a council of elders, his heart was in his throat.

In the council hall.

Liu Meizhen sat at the top.

Fan Ge'er stood behind her, with Yu Zongshi, Fu Molan, Fu Changli, Yaoyao, and Rong Ge'er sitting on his left; and Ouyang Fei, Fu Yongyi, and Yu Lian sitting on his right.

Fu Changli and Liu Runzhi stayed behind in their clan's land.

Cai Xiangu and his wife were not in the parliament this time.

As the number of people who have established their foundation in the clan increases, the conditions for promotion to elders also change. That is, one must have established their foundation. The previous second-level craftsman could only be promoted to hall master.

After everyone took their seats.

Fan Ge'er first stepped forward and read out the losses and gains of the Fu family in this beast tide. Finally, Fan Ge'er said:
"Currently"

"The court merit points accumulated by our Fu family have reached 20,600, which has exceeded the standard required for promotion to an eighth-grade family."

"also"

"Our Fu family's spiritual vein level, second-level craftsman, foundation-building combat power, and the number of people in the fiefdom have reached the standard for promotion to the eighth rank. Now all we need is another ninth-rank family in the fiefdom."

Promotion to the eighth rank is just around the corner.

No one present was not excited.

Everyone looked at Liu Meizhen intently, and Liu Meizhen nodded slightly and said:
"Yes, just as everyone has heard, my husband has already confirmed the candidate from another ninth-rank family for us before he went into seclusion. That candidate is Yun Bozi, who is from the direct lineage of the head of the Fu Yu family."

talking.

Footsteps were heard from behind the screen in the council hall.

Everyone took a closer look.

It was Yun Bozi.

Yun Bozi looked at the crowded Fu family's foundation-building room and was slightly surprised. The Fu family's foundation was even deeper than he expected.

It was obviously a wise choice for him to become a subordinate of the Fu family.

　Handsome guys and beautiful girls, the Huaibei Yu family written in the previous chapter has been changed to the Jingzhou Yu family, sorry.
