Family Rise: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 249: Open Source, Foundation Building Selection, Regret
After Yun Bozi introduced himself and explained the grudge between him and the current head of the Yu family, as well as the specific situation of the fifth, seventh and ninth branches of the Yu family.

Liu Meizhen then said:
"As everyone has heard, this trip to Jingzhou Prefecture is different from the last time we went to ask the Jingzhou Liu Family's talisman master to come out of seclusion. We may very likely engage in a war with the Jingzhou Yu Family, which is fraught with danger. However, once the people of the third branch of the Yu Family are safely relocated to our fiefdom, promotion to the eighth rank will be within reach."

"So whoever goes there must be extremely careful!"

The words have not yet fallen.

Yaoyao raised her hand with joy:
"Mother, I am willing to go. I am a second-level formation master. Maybe I can be of great help when the time comes."

This statement came out.

Master Yu glared at him:
"What nonsense! Your injuries have not yet recovered. Why are you joining in the fun with your mere initial foundation building level? If you need a formation master, I will go there myself."

Master Yu obviously treated Yaoyao as his own granddaughter.

Can't bear to let the other person take risks.

Yaoyao pouted with some regret. After all, this was a good opportunity to go out and make a living.

Ouyang Fei, who was standing by, said in a muffled voice:
"I have been to Jingzhou Prefecture with my mistress before, so I should be included."

"And me, I can control two second-level puppets at the same time. If we really go to war with the Yu family, I can deal with four foundation-building masters by myself."

Fu Molan felt it was a pity that she was unable to contribute when the beast tide broke out.

Fu Changli also signed up.

present.

Only the sleepy Rong Ge'er and Yulian did not speak. Yulian felt that her child was still young and could not leave her, and secondly, she was afraid that she would become a burden if she went.

Liu Meizhen knocked on the table and said slowly:
"Although the beast tide has ended, the Eighth Rank Gongsun Clan is eyeing us covetously. The Yunshan County fiefdom has two layers of protection, the Demon-Protecting City and the Ten Thousand Ghosts Formation. Yaoyao will be the commander, and Fourth Sister, you stay here to take charge."

"As for the fiefdom of Pingshan County..."

"I'm afraid you, Uncle Fei, will have to take charge personally, and have Rong'er and Yulian assist you."

"We'll have to trouble you, Molan, and Qiuchan to guard the Lin family's Yunxiao Mountain."

Count it down in one circle.

In other words.

The people who went to Jingzhou Prefecture were Liu Meizhen herself, Master Yu, and Fu Yongyi as well.

Fu Yongyi had just been promoted to the foundation-building stage not long ago.

Everyone had some doubts about choosing him, but they thought that Liu Meizhen wanted to take him out to see the world, so they didn't think too much about it.

After the candidate is finalized.

Everyone discussed it for a while.

Liu Meizhen cast a spell on the formation plate in the council hall, and the formation light curtain opened. Yun Bozi tactfully bowed and retreated.

Obviously.

The next thing the Fu family wanted to discuss was family affairs.

After Yun Bozi retreated.

Liu Meizhen then continued:
"Today, the Elders' Council has another important matter. In the past few days, Yongshang, Yongdan, and Yongfu have all collected 10,000 family contribution points and want to exchange them for foundation-building pills. However, there are only two foundation-building pills left in our clan."

"Among the three"

"Only two of them can be chosen. Let's see who is more suitable."

This statement came out.

Yaoyao first glanced at Fan Ge'er who was standing behind Liu Meizhen, and said anxiously:
"Mother, should we exchange both foundation-building pills? What if there are more suitable foundation-building candidates in the clan?"

Yaoyao hopes to have a big brother who will leave one for herself.

triplets.

Now only Fan Ge'er has not established his foundation. Even Fan Ge'er's wife Yu Lian has already established her foundation, although Fan Ge'er still handles the miscellaneous affairs of the fiefdom as usual.

but.

Yaoyao felt that her elder brother must be feeling bad.

Yaoyao had just finished speaking.

Everyone subconsciously looked at Fan Ge'er, but Fan Ge'er was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining. With his aptitude, it would probably take him more than ten years to reach the peak of Qi Refining.

Ten years is too long.

The clan might have already refined another batch of foundation-building pills.

Yaoyao is too concerned and gets confused.

Brother Fan also lowered his head in embarrassment at this moment.

Seeing this, Fu Molan was the first to speak and break the silence:
"In terms of qualifications, Yong Dan and the other two are almost the same. They are all leaders in their respective fields. However, judging from the profits they bring to the Fu family, Yong Shang is clearly number one."

"It was Yongshang's suggestion to build Feilong Market."

Obviously.

Fu Molan first recommended Fu Yongshang.

Everyone looked at each other.

Fu Changli said:
"Madam, if we consider the balance between men and women, Yongdan is one of them. If she can successfully build her foundation, it can also inspire the female cultivators in the clan to work harder in cultivation."

Everyone has different opinions.

Liu Meizhen turned to Fan Ge'er, who had remained silent the whole time, and said:
"Brother Fan, as the chief steward of the fiefdom, you must have a more comprehensive view of the problem than us. What do you think?"

Being called by name.

Fan Ge'er had already recovered from the awkward atmosphere.

He said generously:
"Reporting to mother, currently there are only you and Elder Shi who are second-level alchemists in the clan. In addition, there are many other clan members who have good alchemy talents. Sister Yongdan's foundation building will not bring much change to the development of the family. However, in the Talisman Making Hall, apart from father, only Brother Yongfu is a second-level talisman maker."

There was a pause.

Brother Fan continued:
"But my father is very busy and has very little time to spare for making talismans. During this beast tide outbreak, we have obtained a large number of second-level talisman-making materials. If Brother Yongfu can successfully build his foundation, his talisman-making speed and skills will definitely be able to reach a higher level, and he will also be able to cash in on this batch of second-level talisman-making materials in the clan."

and so.

Based on family interests.

The selection of the foundation-building personnel naturally fell on Fu Yongfu and Fu Yongshang.

Liu Meizhen saw that no one had any objection.

A wave of sleeves.

A flash of glow.

A brand new book appeared in front of everyone:
"This is the plan submitted by Yong Shang for developing a trade route to Jingzhou Prefecture. Yong Shang's idea is to first purchase a large number of monster materials. While we are in Jingzhou Prefecture this time, we will first choose a market to take root, and then slowly plan for it later."

Fu Changli glanced through it quickly.

Quite excitedly said:
"Madam, Yongshang is a real business genius. We are worried about what to do after the collapse of Feilong Market, as our clan will lose its major source of income. If we can really build a trade route, we will definitely make more money than Feilong Market."

Experience a wave of beasts.

The entire Huainan Prefecture will enter a period of economic depression in the next ten years.

If the court does not reduce taxes.

Then they will have to tighten their belts to make ends meet. Fu Yongshang's idea is undoubtedly a golden idea for open source.

Fu Molan frowned slightly:
"Madam, this is a good idea, but the most important thing for us to do when we go to Jingzhou Prefecture is to move the people from the third branch of the Yu family here."

"If we buy up monster materials in large quantities, I'm afraid we'll soon be targeted by robbery cultivators."

"In addition, according to the market in Huainan Prefecture, there is a force behind every store. If we take action, it will affect the interests of the aristocratic families in Jingzhou Prefecture. At that time, the obstruction we will face will not only be from the Yu family itself."

When Fu Changli heard this, he felt ashamed for a moment.

She only thought about the immediate benefits, but didn't think about it at a deeper level.
Liu Meizhen looked at Fu Molan with admiration.

He pondered for a while.

Opening:
"Molan's consideration is unreasonable, but everyone is clear about the situation in Huainan in the next ten years. If we are blindly conservative, it will definitely be a setback for the family."

"so"

“I plan to prepare for both scenarios.”

"First, we will privately purchase monster materials from good noble families. On the one hand, the noble families that are allied with us are in urgent need of spiritual stones for circulation, and they cannot sell the monster materials they have. If we are willing to purchase them at the market price, they will probably think that we are providing timely assistance."

"Secondly, the alliance family will naturally help us keep the secret since they have gained benefits. This way, we won't attract the attention of the robbery cultivators."

Ouyang Fei nodded repeatedly.

Everyone couldn't help but wait attentively for Liu Meizhen to continue speaking.

Liu Meizhen knocked on the table.

Opening:
"As for Jingzhou Prefecture, I'm sure the major families are not united. When we get to Jingzhou, let's first understand the situation. If we can find an opportunity, even if we don't buy it, it would be good to rent a store in the market."

"of course."

"The most important thing for us to do when we go to Jingzhou is to bring the people from the third branch of the Yu family back to Huainan."

after all.

Now there is only one vacancy left for the eighth-rank family in Huainan Prefecture.

After the beast tide.

Presumably, the Cui family will also be busy arranging this matter, and the Cui family also has two major allies, the Qi family and the Hong family, to assist them.

and so.

for them.

The mission to Jingzhou Prefecture is long and arduous.

Everyone had no objection to Liu Meizhen's decision, and turned to talk about which Huainan families could purchase monster materials.

Currently, the eight-rank families in Huainan are the Shangguan family, the Gongsun family, the Shi family and the Nangong family.

Fu Changli said:

"As for the eighth-rank family, given the friendship between the Shangguan family and our Fu family, as long as we tell their elder, they will naturally agree. Madam, who do you think is more suitable to send?"

Liu Meizhen lowered her head and took a sip of oolong tea.

This is how he said:
"To go to the Shangguan family this time, we need to borrow a large treasure ship that can carry 100,000 people. It would be more appropriate for me to go there in person, but other families are watching our movements, so it would be too conspicuous. So in my opinion, it is most appropriate for Molan to go there."

Fu Molan naturally had no objection and agreed immediately.

From an eighth-rank aristocratic family.

The Shi family had previously worked together to establish Feilongfang City.

But that's about it.

Therefore, it was not included in the acquisition list.

The remaining nine-rank aristocratic families are now only the Cui family, the Qi family, the Hong family alliance, the Liang family, the He family, and the Yu family which has not yet obtained a fiefdom. There is currently no news about the Cao family.

Count it in one circle.

There is only the He family.

Fu Yongyi took the initiative to say:

"Madam, Qingru is pregnant. I just want to use this as an excuse to go back to the He family with her. I will discuss the purchase of monster materials with my father-in-law."

That would be best.

Everyone discussed it for a while.

After the meeting.

Everyone performs their duties.

Liu Meizhen kept Fu Molan and quickly sent a message:
"Molan, when you go to Shangguan's house, pass this sentence to Shangguan Hui and say..."

Fu Molan heard this.

His eyes widened considerably.

Zhang Yuanyuan, a remnant of the Zhang family, actually ran away to the East Wilderness and became the concubine of the Grand Master of Zifu.

This woman is really not simple.

Fu Molan nodded quickly and said:
"Madam, don't worry, I will definitely pass on the message."

After everyone dispersed.

Liu Meizhen turned to Fan Ge'er and said:

"Brother Fan, go call Yongfu and Yongshang over here."

"Yes, mother"

Outside the council hall.

Reality.

Fu Yongdan and the other two had been waiting since early morning. Fu Yongdan would occasionally peek at the tightly closed door. The waiting time was too painful, and he could not help but walk to Fu Yongfu and whispered:

"Sixth brother, I'm afraid that the quota for the Foundation Establishment Pill will most likely fall on Fifth brother."

"Well, if there is only one."

Fu Yongfu also has self-awareness.

After all, Fu Yongshang's value and contributions to the family are there.

Fu Yongdan bit her lip and said hesitantly:

"Sixth brother, if there is a second one, do you think the elders will give it to you or to me?"

"It's hard to say. After all, we are not elders. We have different positions and we consider different things."

Fu Yongfu tells the truth.

In fact, Fu Yongdan wanted to hear some words of encouragement. At this moment, she had already become anxious and worried. The last moment she was still fantasizing about her successful foundation building, and the next moment she felt that it was impossible for the clan to have so many foundation building pills.

Wait until the door of the council hall opens again.

When Fu Yongdan saw that it was Brother Fan who came out, he immediately took a few quick steps and said impatiently:

"Brother Fan, have you decided on the candidate?"

"Well, mother asked the fifth and sixth brothers to go in."

Fu Yongdan was stunned for a moment.

Only the fifth and sixth brothers were allowed in, but she was excluded. In other words, there were still two foundation-building pills in the clan, but neither of them could fall to her.

Fu Yongdan's face suddenly turned as pale as paper.

Fan Ge'er was right beside them, feeling guilty. Seeing this, he quickly stepped forward and whispered to comfort them, "Ninth sister, you are still young. Wait a little longer. If the clan has another foundation-building pill, you will definitely be the first one to be called."

Fu Yongfu and Fu Yongshang also came back to their senses from their surprise at this time. They stepped forward and said a few words of comfort, but these words were obviously too pale and powerless.

Fortunately, Fu Yongdan did not lose control on the spot.

Still trying to put on a smile:
"Congratulations to the fifth and sixth brothers. I wish you success in building your foundation. The mistress is still waiting inside. Go in quickly, go in quickly."

Finished.

He disappeared on the spot like a gust of wind.

After returning to Alchemy Peak.

Immediately the door slammed and locked himself inside.

He lowered his head and began to sob.

If there was only one Foundation Establishment Pill in the clan, she would not be so sad, because if it was generally recognized that there was only one, it would definitely be given to the fifth brother.

but.

There are obviously two.

Out of three.

She was the only one who was not selected.

then.

The sixth brother was just a person who followed Fairy Cai and took care of the spiritual plants. He was also the least noticeable one among the Yong generation. However, because he was favored by the head of the family, his fate was changed. He became the head of the Talisman Making Hall and now he has been rewarded with the Foundation Establishment Pill. Soon he will be promoted to a Foundation Establishment Elder.

From then on, there was a huge difference between the two of them.

This is all secondary.

These days.

She shamelessly asked many brothers and sisters in the tribe to exchange contribution points, but it was all a joke in the end. How could she face her tribe members in the future?

The more I think about it, the more aggrieved I feel.

So much so that she didn't even notice when someone was standing behind her:

“But I feel very wronged.”

Suddenly.

Liu Meizhen's voice sounded above her head.

Upon hearing this, Fu Yongdan was so frightened that he quickly stood up and saluted, stammering:
"Master, I."

"sit"

Liu Meizhen pulled Fu Yongdan to sit down together, and helped him to tidy up his temples and said:

"As your master, I was wrong for not being able to get the Foundation Establishment Pill for you."

This statement came out.

But Fu Yongdan was so scared that she almost jumped up like a rabbit, and quickly waved her hands to deny it:
"Master, you have always been unreserved and attentive to your disciples in alchemy. I have not yet repaid your kindness, and I dare not and will not complain."

"Look how nervous you are, kid."

Liu Meizhen pulled the person back to sit on the toffee chair.

What kind of person is Fu Yongdan?

How could she not know?

Liu Meizhen patted the back of her hand, pondered for a while, and said:

"Dan'er, since you detected your spiritual roots not long ago, you have been following me to learn alchemy. Over the years, you have spent most of your time in the alchemy room. You can take this opportunity to stay in Wanning Market for a few years. When you are in the market, don't just bury your head in alchemy. Go out and communicate with people more often, and see different people and different scenery. This will be of great benefit to your future foundation building and even your future cultivation."

Fu Yongdan has never experienced any setbacks.

The character still needs to be honed.

If not.

Liu Meizhen would not have said nothing to help the other party at the Council of Elders.

With Fu Yongdan's current state of mind, it would be a waste even if he got the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Fu Yongdan's eyes lit up when he heard this:
“I always listen to my master.”

After all, the clan has been in recent times.

She couldn't stay there any longer, so it was a good opportunity for her to get out of the spotlight.

the other side.

Fu Yongyi turned around and told He Qingru that he would take her back to her parents' home. He Qingru was obviously a little surprised to hear this, but she was also very happy.

She married into the Fu family.

I’m afraid that others will say that my heart is still with my parents.

Just bear it.

Except for going back once a year during the Chinese New Year, she almost never went back. Now that she is finally pregnant, the mistress has sent Nanny Liu to look after her.

But the mistress is not really the mother-in-law.

In front of Madam Liu, she was even more restrained and lived her life in fear, afraid that anything she did wrong would get to the mistress' ears.

Now I can finally go back to my parents' home.

How could she not be happy.

After being happy.

He Qingru calmed down and hesitated for a moment:
"Husband, have you reported this to mother?"

"Well, it was my mother who brought it up."

"That's good, that's good"

He Qingru was obviously relieved and immediately ordered the maid to start packing her luggage, wishing she could fly back to her parents' home immediately. Half an hour later, the two of them arrived in front of Liu Meizhen.

Liu Meizhen seemed to have been waiting for a long time:
"Although the beast tide has ended, Qingru, you are pregnant after all. Just in case, you two can ride on your father's green python and go back."

Before Fu Changsheng went into seclusion.

He left the Green Python and the Autumn Cicada to Liu Meizhen.

The Green Python is at the peak of the second stage.

He Qingru was flattered for a moment, and quickly waved her hand to refuse, but she saw Fu Yongyi had already cupped his hands: "In this case, I would like to thank my mother."

Wait until you get out of the yard.

After sitting on the green python and flying for a distance.

He Qingru also sensed something was wrong at this moment.

When Yu Lian was pregnant before, she didn't receive such treatment. Her husband was just an adopted son, so her mother's move must have had other implications.

This time her husband accompanied her back to her parents' home.

I'm afraid there is another mission.

He Qingru observed carefully and found that her husband was more nervous than usual.

but.

My husband doesn’t mention it.

She was sensible enough not to ask.

He Family Hill.

He Jiumei, who was patrolling the mountain, saw the demonic energy rolling in the distance and was so frightened that she thought another wave of beasts was about to sweep in. She was about to activate the communication talisman, but was glared at by He Qingchang:
"It's the second-level peak green python of the Fu family's patriarch."

He Jiumei was stunned for a moment.

Blinked and said:
"But didn't father say before that the head of the Fu family was in seclusion?"

The two sisters almost ruined the marriage at the blind date party with Fu Yongyi. Afterwards, they were imprisoned in the Cliff of Repentance and were only released when the beast tide broke out.

He Jiumei is still talking in a disjointed manner.

But He Qingshang has changed a lot. At least the eldest lady's temper has become much more restrained.

Wait until the evil wind gets closer.

The person sitting on the green python can also see it clearly.

He Jiumei secretly pouted and muttered:
"Why is it this damn girl!"

Back then, He Qingru took the initiative to stand up at the banquet and said a few polite words, which made her rise to prominence and become the Taoist companion of a foundation-building cultivator.

Fu Yongyi, whom the sisters look down upon.

Unexpectedly.

The foundation was successfully established!

He Jiumei regretted it so much that her intestines turned green. If she had known this would happen, she would have volunteered to marry him.

As soon as the green python appeared.

Upon receiving the news, Patriarch He came out in person to greet them.

With a smile on his face, he led Fu Yongyi and his wife into the main door of the reception room, which was usually only opened for distinguished guests. The He family members looked at the green python that turned into an earring and hung on Fu Yongyi's earring, and they talked about it one by one:

"Look, you said that my son-in-law was an adopted son and was not favored in the Fu family, but now even the Fu family patriarch's pet is allowed to be carried by my son-in-law. Who can compare to such honor and favor?"

"That's right, Miss Sixteen is really lucky. Not long after she got married, her husband had already established his foundation. And I heard that the Fu family will be promoted to an eighth-rank family in the near future. Then Miss Sixteen will be a member of an eighth-rank family in the future. Tsk tsk tsk tsk. Aunt Qiu will laugh in her dreams."

"Who says it's not true? Look, Aunt Qiu's treatment now is only half a level lower than that of the clan leader's wife. Back then, Aunt Qiu was just a furnace maker in the Alchemy Peak."

"This is why a mother is honored by her son!"

"."

He Jiumei heard the discussions of the tribesmen nearby. She felt jealous and envious. Then her eyes rolled and she raised her hand to support her temples.

Her looks are even more beautiful than He Qingru's.

Now that Fu Yongyi has already established his foundation, he can't just be served by a woman.

He Qingchang, who was standing by, saw through the other person's thoughts at a glance and cursed in his heart:
"Bitch!"

Turn around and leave.

In the living room.

After paying her respects to Chief He, He Qingru tactfully found an excuse to retreat. As soon as she left the hall, she was surrounded by the tribesmen.

among them.

Most of them wanted to use He Qingru's relationship to get people around Fu Yongyi.

Aunt Qiu came running over and drove away the clan members who had ulterior motives. The mother and daughter went into the backyard together.

After closing the formation.

Aunt Qiu's exaggerated expression in front of others immediately changed, revealing a side of her that she had never shown in front of others.
