Chapter 263: Ancient Mysterious Vine, Muscle Refining Stage, Family Conferment

After the father and son arrived at the meeting hall and sat down.

Fu Yongfan cupped his hands and said:
"Father, after Brother Shitou came back from Jingzhou, the He family learned that we were about to be promoted to the eighth rank. They were afraid that other noble families would cause trouble, so they specially sent three foundation-building masters from the family to our Pingshan County."

"also"

"In Anyang County, my grandfather's Liu family, who was promoted to the ninth rank not long ago, and the Wu family have sent foundation builders to our Luofeng Mountain to help guard the clan land."

"Including the foundation builders sent by the Shangguan family, our Fu family's various strongholds currently have more than six foundation builders guarding them. Together with the mountain protection formation, they are now as solid as a rock. Now we just have to wait for the imperial court to confer the title."

talking.

Fu Yongfan took out a long list and handed it over:
"Father, this is the guest list and corresponding seats for promotion to the eighth rank. Please take a look and see if there are any other changes that need to be made."

After Fu Changsheng took it, he looked at it for a few seconds and nodded slightly. Fan Ge'er has always been prudent in doing things.

Then he said:
"Is your grandpa Yu back?"

"Reporting to father, not yet."

Very strict.

Although when he was a child, Fan Ge'er looked like a little adult.

But it is still a little different for him as a father. At least one can see the affection for his father in his eyes, but now he gives people more of awe.

Fu Changsheng glanced at his white hair again:
"Brother Fan, thank you for your hard work over the years."

Fu Yongfan was stunned for a moment, then felt flattered and quickly waved his hand.

these years.

A child under the father's name.

Apart from Fu Yongrui who claimed the throne later, he was the only one who had not yet established his foundation.

As the eldest son of his father.

He felt that he had brought shame to his father.

Take courage.

Bowing:
"Father, when the imperial court confer the title of Eighth-Rank Aristocratic Family, it will obviously no longer be appropriate for me to serve as the chief steward of the fiefdom with my Qi Refining cultivation. I think I will vacate this position after the celebration is over and give it to a suitable foundation-building elder."

after all.

Later promoted to eighth rank.

The people he had to deal with were all foundation-building cultivators. Even though he held the title of the eldest son of the patriarch, other aristocratic families still felt that he was not given the attention he deserved.

Also.

It's not good for the reputation of their Fu family either.

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly:
"Well, I was just about to tell you about this. The Wanning Chamber of Commerce will hold a Foundation Establishment Pill auction soon. You can take advantage of this time to raise your cultivation to the peak of Qi Refining."

Fu Yongfan was stunned for a moment.

He has the qualifications of five spiritual roots, and even with the foundation-building pill, his hope is slim. He thought his father had given up on him long ago.

Hear the words.

I feel touched.

But he still shook his head and said:
"Father, Sister Yongdan has been waiting for this foundation-building pill for ten years. In addition, Yongrui is gifted and has reached the peak of foundation-building a few years ago. Brother Yongqi and others are also waiting in line for the foundation-building pill."

“According to the clan rules”

"The Foundation Building Pills should be exchanged to them first."

He couldn't let his father be branded as selfish because of himself. Besides, if he took the lead in enjoying privileges, the people below would follow suit, and if this continued for a long time, there would be resentment among the clan members in the future.

Moreover.

He really needs to build a foundation.

With his five spiritual roots, one foundation-building pill is far from enough.

at this point.

He still has self-awareness.

Fu Changsheng frowned. His eldest son had good ideas, but everyone has selfish desires, and cultivation is meant to change one's fate. As his eldest son grew older, he seemed to have become an old stubborn man:
"Just concentrate on your cultivation. When the time comes, leave the issue of the foundation-building pill to me. Besides being the head of the Fu family, I am also your father. You don't have to worry so much."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yongfan quickly lowered his head, but he didn't realize that his eyes were already red.

Fu Changsheng stood up and patted him on the shoulder. After leaving the meeting hall, he saw that Cai Xiangu had been waiting at the door.

Ten years no see.

Fu Changsheng was stunned for a moment when he saw Fairy Cai, who had suddenly aged a lot.

Cai Xiangu smiled and bowed to Fu Changsheng, who quickly supported her:
"Master Cai, I just happened to be looking for you for something."

The two went to the patriarch's house.

Fu Changsheng slapped his storage bag, a ray of light flashed, and a box with a white background and wooden grain floated out, and a spell was cast into it.

A spiritual vine inside was wriggling rapidly as if it were a living thing:
"Master Cai, do you recognize this thing?"

Master Cai moved forward.

I looked at it carefully for a while.

A flick of the index finger.

A magical power hit the wooden vine, and the vine made a buzzing sound. A leaf fell off instantly and turned into a rainbow light, shooting towards Fairy Cai at an extremely fast speed.

Fairy Cai was startled.

Move aside.

Ding!
The green leaves shot at the stone wall like arrows. The stone wall was forged from second-level blue oil stone, which could withstand the attack of second-level magic weapons.

And now.

The green leaves, however, can cut through iron like mud.

It actually scratched a large piece of the stone wall, and the green leaves turned around in the air and shot towards Cai Xiangu again.

but.

Halfway there.

hum!
The green leaves were exhausted of their spiritual energy and fell to the ground helplessly.

This sudden scene startled both Fu Changsheng and Cai Xiangu.

Cai Xiangu blinked and said in disbelief:
"What kind of spiritual plant is this? There is only one vine left. Not only has it not withered, but it can also fight back on its own after being attacked. Master, this is the first time I have seen such a vine."

A carnivorous plant that attacks.

She did cultivate a group of them.

The attack power of the edible flower is only equivalent to that of a first-level monster. The vine in front of us, with just one leaf, can transform into the attack power of a second-level magic weapon. If it is a complete spiritual plant, the power is unimaginable:
"Master, the body of your vine is at least level three."

Cai Xiangu didn't expect this.

As you get older, you’ll get older.

You can still see such treasures.

Fu Changsheng was also quite surprised. The evil chief Qiu had quite a few treasures. He had no idea where the other party got this piece of spiritual vine from.

but.

I'm afraid it's probably related to the terrifying existence behind him.

perhaps.

It was that person who asked Qiu Shoue to find this piece of spiritual vine:
"Looks like we need Uncle Yu to come back and ask him."

Master Yu is well-informed.

Maybe you recognize this thing.

Put the spiritual vine into the box.

Fu Changsheng reminded:
"Master Cai, are you looking for me?"

Cai Xiangu was old, and was distracted by the spiritual vine. She almost forgot her business. She took out her identity token from her sleeve and handed it to Fu Changsheng:
"Master, I heard that the Wanning Chamber of Commerce will hold an auction for the Foundation Establishment Pill soon. Yulian and I have pooled our money together and have just collected 10,000 contribution points. I would like to ask you to help me exchange a Foundation Establishment Pill for Brother Fan. Brother Fan is already over 40 this year. The more time passes, the slimmer his chances of building a foundation will be."

Fu Changsheng was stunned for a moment.

Looking at the aged face of Cai Xiangu, so many contribution points must have been accumulated by working hard from dawn to dusk and living frugally.

He actually gave it directly to Fan Ge'er.

Fairy Cai has a son in her old age.

He was somewhat moved and hurriedly pushed the token back:
"Master Cai, I will find a way to deal with Brother Fan's foundation-building pill. You can keep this contribution value for Xiaoyao."

"Master, what's yours is yours. This is my gift to you, Brother Fan. With Brother Fan's talent, one foundation-building pill will definitely not be enough. Moreover, when Yu Lian was building his foundation, Brother Fan not only gave his contribution points, but also borrowed a large part from his uncle. I have to repay this favor, otherwise, even if I die in the future, I will not be at peace."

Cai Xiangu never likes to owe others in her life.

Although the situation was so difficult back then, she still gave Fu Changsheng the only purple-horned deer calf left in her family as a reward for her gratitude.

"Okay, then I'll accept it on behalf of Brother Fan."

The old man that Fu Changsheng planned to return double to Cai Xiangu later was the one. After hesitating for a moment, he patted the storage bag. A flash of light appeared, and a box floated towards Cai Xiangu in an instant:
"This is the Sichuan-Yu Pill, which is used to nourish the blood and dredge the meridians. Master Cai, please accept it."

For the elderly.

You should be able to live a few more years after taking it.

He asked Mei Zhen to purchase this from Jingzhou and gave it to Master Yu. Now that Master Yu has the star leaf grass, he can give it to Master Cai.

Master Cai heard this.

Waving hands:
"I am an old woman, with the dirt almost buried up to my neck. Such a precious spiritual object should be given to those in need by the owner of the family."

"Master Cai, if you don't want it, then I won't accept your contribution value either."

Upon hearing this, Master Cai smiled and shook his head.

Thank you:
"Thank you for the reward, Patriarch. With this Chuanyu Pill, maybe I can see Brother Fan build his foundation."

Master Cai took the box carefully.

In this world.

Who doesn't want to live a hundred years?

After thanking him again and again, he left happily.

Just now.

The familiar mechanical voice resounded in Fu Changsheng's sea of ​​consciousness:
"Ding"

"Give the clan leader, Fairy Cai, a bottle of Sichuan and Yu Dan, and receive 300 clan contribution points."

Followed by.

The contribution value on the panel instantly changed to two thousand five hundred.

After less than half a month.

Fu Changsheng, who was comprehending the third level of "Da Yan Jue", suddenly heard a rapid buzzing sound from his waist. A spell was typed into the communication jade talisman, and Yaoyao's voice came out:
"Father, Grandpa Yu and I are back"

Fu Changsheng took the jade slip containing the martial arts technique.

Come out from the secret room.

They soon arrived at the Water Curtain Cave in the back mountain. Cai Xiangu and others had been asked to leave in advance, and only Yaoyao and Master Yu were left in the several small buildings.

"Father"

Yaoyao stepped forward and bowed.

After spending many years comprehending the barrier in the secret realm of Hanlin River, Yaoyao's temperament has become much more restrained.

After the three people sat down.

Master Yu said:
"Changsheng, I have already set up a magic array in Han Linjiang's underground barrier. If it weren't for a fourth-level array master to conduct a special survey, no one would have discovered it."

Uncle Yu is in charge of the work.

He was naturally relieved.

Fu Changsheng said:
"Uncle Yu, if we don't consider the people from Tianji Pavilion, can you and Yaoyao work together to open the barrier?"

"Um"

Master Yu nodded slightly and looked at Yaoyao with admiration:
"Yaoyao has studied the barrier thoroughly over the years. She can break it by herself without my help. Moreover, Yaoyao's attainment in formation has successfully broken through to the lower third level."

If it were the past.

Yaoyao must be asking for praise now.

But since she came back, Yaoyao has been frowning, obviously worried about Rong Ge'er:
"Father, if we can't find the spiritual materials that can block the prying eyes of the Tianji Pavilion, are we just going to leave my second brother in there?"

The pros and cons of secret realms.

Apparently Master Yu had also mentioned this to Yaoyao.

but.

She was still worried about Rong Ge'er.

Fu Changsheng frowned and said:
"Yaoyao, don't worry. No matter what happens, Daddy will gather the necessary spiritual materials as soon as possible and will definitely not let anything happen to your second brother."

According to intelligence mentioned.

Three rare spiritual materials.

Among them, the Gongsun family hid a piece of Phoenix Blood Wood.

The Gongsun family had repeatedly provoked their Fu family. Once the attack on the Yinan tribe was completed and he found a good opportunity, he would naturally not let the Gongsun family continue to survive in this world.

talking.

Fu Changsheng slapped his storage bag.

Suddenly, dozens of boxes floated towards Yaoyao:

"Yaoyao, take a look at these formation books and materials to see if they are useful to you."

These spiritual materials were seized from Chun Er Niang.

However, before he could finish his words, Master Yu glared at him:
"Yaoyao has been studying the enchantment, and her cultivation has been delayed for a long time. In the next few years, Yaoyao, you should not touch these books anymore. Concentrate on your cultivation."

Fu Changsheng was shocked and said hurriedly:

"Yaoyao, listen to your Grandpa Yu." But he didn't put the box away.

Even if Yaoyao can’t use it, Master Yu can.

the other side.

Master Yu turned to Yaoyao and said, "Your face is so pale. There is nothing important here. Go back to seclusion quickly."

He spent several years studying the barrier.

Although it was extremely exhausting for a person, Yaoyao did not refuse. She stood up, bowed, and went to the small building next door to meditate.

After people leave.

Fu Changsheng slapped his storage bag.

A flash of glow.

A box with a white background and wooden patterns floated towards Master Yu:

"Uncle Yu, can you open it and see what it is?"

Grandmaster Yu had always been only interested in spirit wine and ancient formations. Upon hearing this, he cast a spell into the box without much interest. The box opened, and a rich spiritual energy immediately rushed towards him:

"This is!"

Grandmaster Yu stood up excitedly.

He stared at the spiritual plant in the box with disbelief on his face:
"Starleaf!"

"Changsheng, where did you get this from?"

If he remembers correctly.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even in the entire continent, this spiritual plant had long been extinct. How could there be one that was so intact, as if it had just been picked?

With this starleaf grass.

His strength should be able to recover to the Purple Mansion level.

Not excited.

It's definitely a lie.

Fu Changsheng briefly talked about the Gongsun family hiring the Seven Freaks of Lingnan to kill people.

After listening to this, Master Yu said:

"Since it was obtained from Jie Xiu, then the source is hard to find." Grandmaster Yu was still thinking about finding a few more plants: "Changsheng, I will accept this Star Leaf Grass."

He immediately quickly put the ban back on the box.

I can't wait to return to the secret room to refine it.

Fu Changsheng slapped his storage bag, and with a flash of light, he took out the strange spiritual vine. He also told Master Yu about the previous experiment of Fairy Cai. Master Yu frowned and thought for a moment.

He hesitated and said:
"This looks a bit like the legendary ancient Xuanteng that has become extinct in ancient times."

Ancient Mysterious Vine? !
Fu Changsheng's eyes lit up.

As soon as you hear the name, you know this thing is extraordinary:

"Uncle Yu, please tell me more."

Master Yu looked at Fu Changsheng's excited face with a bit of weirdness on his face. He coughed lightly and then said slowly:
"The ancient Xuan Vine was able to rank among the top three of the ten sacred trees in ancient times. Those who signed a symbiotic contract with the ancient Xuan Vine could share the long lifespan of the ancient Xuan Vine."

“It is said that the first owner”

“Live for millions of years”

"But later, a catastrophe occurred and the Ancient Mysterious Vine disappeared. When it reappeared, it had already mutated. That is, the holder cannot leave the Ancient Mysterious Vine a hundred steps away. Otherwise, the Ancient Mysterious Vine will wither in an instant, and the contractor will die with it."

"also"

"The life span that the ancient Xuan Vine can extend has also become limited."

"But for dying people, they still regard it as a life-saving straw. Once it appears, it will inevitably cause a bloody storm."

"It is said"

"Finally, the Ancient Mysterious Vine fell into the hands of the demons. After the demons cultivated it, the Ancient Mysterious Vine mutated again. However, these are all records from ancient times."

“So many years have passed”

"In the world of cultivation, no one has mentioned this thing for tens of thousands of years."

Can it increase your lifespan?

This is a good thing. After all, no one wants to complain about his life being too long.

Fu Changsheng said:

"Uncle Yu, after signing the alliance with the Ancient Mysterious Vine, besides the distance restriction of not being able to stray far from the place where it is planted, are there any other disadvantages?"

Grandmaster Yu shook his head.

Then he came to his senses and glared at Fu Changsheng:
"What? Do you want to sign a contract with this ancient vine? Absolutely not. Once this ancient vine is planted, it cannot be transplanted. You will be trapped in a hundred-foot area for the rest of your life. Moreover, the piece of ancient vine in your hand is not a complete one. It is hard to say whether it can survive if you plant it."

In the grandmaster's opinion.

This ancient mysterious vine is quite useless.

Fu Changsheng also felt that there were too many unknown factors, and nodded quickly:

"Uncle Yu, don't worry, I won't joke about my life."

talking.

Put away the ancient mysterious vine.

Grandmaster Yu was worried and warned Fu Changsheng several times not to sign a contract with the ancient mysterious vine.

Return to the master's house from the back mountain.

Enter the secret room and close the magic circle.

Fu Changsheng slapped his storage bag, and instantly a strange mask floated in front of him.

There is still some time before the imperial court confers titles on the eighth-rank family, so he plans to take on one or two missions from the Shadow Gate. After gaining points, he will ask the Shadow Gate whether they have what he needs.

Currently.

He needs a lot.

As for myself.

To practice the third level of "Da Yan Jue", Qian Kui Jade is needed. This will determine how far he can go in the future, so Qian Kui Jade is urgently needed.

In addition, the same goes for spiritual materials that contain the power of stars.

Currently, his "Nine Heavens Star Art" is stuck at the peak of the Flesh Refining Stage.

Second.

In order for Qiu Chan to break through to the third level, she needs the Soul-Guiding Pill, and the Human Emperor Banner where Qiu Chan lives also needs to be upgraded.

Finally, the secret realm of Hanling River is opened. It is necessary to hide from the prying eyes of Tianji Pavilion, and it requires Phoenix Blood Wood, Dragon Scale Stone and Ethereal Mica.

However, to set up the large formation, three Purple Mansion fighters are needed. Even if Grandmaster Yu has recovered his Purple Mansion cultivation, it will still take some time. This should be done after he breaks through the Purple Mansion. There is no need to rush for the time being.

After clarifying your next goal.

Fu Changsheng made a seal with his right hand and chanted an obscure spell. After putting on the strange mask, there was a humming sound, and the world was spinning. The next moment, he found himself in the same mission hall as last time.

on the list.

Various bounty tasks are constantly refreshed.

"what?"

Fu Changsheng took a closer look.

I discovered that the red bounty mission actually included an orange mission.

He immediately waved his hand.

The task is suspended in front of me:

"A bounty of 80,000 low-grade spirit stones is offered for the head of Zhang Yuanyuan, the concubine of Qiu Kuizi from the Yinan tribe!"

Fu Changsheng's eyes lit up.

Shortly after.

The imperial court was about to conquer the large tribe of Yinan.

Zhang Yuanyuan was originally on his kill list, what a coincidence.

I took the task immediately.

at the same time.

In the mirror behind him, a line of text suddenly appeared:
"The first time you accept a mission, you will be rewarded with 20 points."

Fu Changsheng was delighted.

With points.

He can then ask whether there is any spiritual item he needs in exchange.

Fu Changsheng thought about it for a while.

He wrote down all the spiritual materials he needed.

But the mirror trembled slightly:
“You can only redeem one item at a time”

"Exchange for Qiankui Jade"

hum!
The mirror vibrates.

A line of text appears:

"It takes one thousand points to redeem Qiankui jade"

Followed by.

However, the 20 points he had originally earned were suddenly reset to zero.

Fu Changsheng was stunned for a moment:
"It costs 20 points for one consultation. This is too shady."

He quickly took out the task he had just received to kill Zhang Yuanyuan, but saw fifty points written at the end.

In other words.

If he completes the same level of tasks ten times, he can exchange them for Qiankui Jade.

Kill the foundation.

For him now.

Not a problem at all.

Also.

He can also let the system provide intelligence information and join the Shadow Gate himself. For him, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages at the moment.

Fu Changsheng retreated from the mission hall.

Continue to comprehend the third level of "Dayan Jue" in the secret room.

This went on for about ten days.

The aristocratic family jade seal in the body trembled slightly.

Fu Changsheng was delighted and quickly summoned the jade seal. He cast a spell and found that the original red color had turned into orange.

Moreover, his luck was already as solid as a rock.

This shows that the imperial court's enthronement has been officially issued.

Just now.

hum!
Mysterious luck surged out of the jade seal, turning into a five-colored spiritual python and rushing towards him. Wherever it passed, mysterious ripples appeared in the space. When the luck touched his body, Fu Changsheng trembled, and the "Nine Heavenly Star Art" in his body was affected and actually started to operate on its own:

"This"

Fu Changsheng was stunned for a moment.

But he quickly reacted.

Such a great opportunity.

Of course he won't let it go.

He immediately sat cross-legged and immersed his body and mind in the practice of the technique.

But then I saw a star suddenly appear in the Dantian, running rapidly along the meridians, becoming brighter and brighter.

He was already at the perfect stage of flesh refining. At this moment, the energy of qi led the star force into his tendons and veins. His tendons and veins gradually became warm, like a dormant dragon awakening. His tendons and veins were inlaid with broken star crystals, and silver light spread. His body was like a star abyss, and spiritual light appeared on his body surface:

"Muscle Refining Realm!"

Fu Changsheng opened his eyes with joy.

When promoted to an eighth-rank family.

He actually broke through to the Muscle Refining Stage naturally.

When in the Flesh Refining Stage.

He felt that his aura was like a sword drawn from its sheath, its edge fully exposed.

After breaking through to the Muscle Refining Stage, his aura became restrained and deep, like a deep pool hiding endless power.

him at this time.

Just relying on the physical body, he can resist the attack of the second-level medium-grade magic weapon.

Fu Changsheng's mouth curled up slightly:
"Next, as long as we find a few more treasures containing the power of the stars and cultivate the tendon refining realm to perfection, we can try to open up the acupoints connecting the two major dantians."

The breakthrough to the Purple Palace is just around the corner.

Just now.

hum!
There was a rapid beeping sound from his waist.

Look down.

It was a message from Palace Master Xu. A spell was cast and Palace Master Xu's voice came out:

"Patriarch Fu, please come to the Zhenshi Division. The imperial court has issued the eighth-rank title for your Fu family, and your previous reward has also been issued."
