Family Rise: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 283: Three major developments of the family, the selection of people to go to Beijing, and the private marriage
After Gan Shenglin’s funeral.

All the elders were present, and Fu Changsheng directly brought forward the meeting of the Elders' Council.

four years ago.

After the celebration of the Fu family's promotion to the eighth rank, Fu Changli took over the position of Fu Yongfan's chief steward.

Fu Yongli reported to everyone on the clan’s financial expenditures over the past four years and the output of various parts of the clan.

the end.

Present the list with both hands:
"Patriarch, because Yongshang signed a contract with five noble families to build the Demon Control City, the clan received a large additional income. Now we still have 300,000 low-grade spirit stones in liquid funds on the books."

Three hundred thousand spirit stones.

For the Fu family back then.

That is unthinkable.

Fu Changsheng said:
"How do you think it would be more appropriate to allocate this amount of spiritual stones?"

Yaoyao, who was sitting at the lower right, pondered for a while and said:
"Father, as more and more people in our family have established their foundation, the spiritual springs opened up by the original third-level spiritual vein in the Taiqiu Mountains are obviously not enough. It is better to put these spiritual stones aside for now. When we have accumulated 500,000, we can upgrade this spiritual vein to a third-level intermediate grade."

"To be promoted to a seventh-grade family, we also need to upgrade our spirit veins to the fourth level, so this can be considered killing two birds with one stone."

Although Fu Changren had not yet established his foundation, the chief steward of the Luofeng Mountain clan shook his head upon hearing this:
"The previous auction of the Foundation Establishment Pill of the Wanning Chamber of Commerce has been postponed to the fifteenth of this month. There are still a few days left. Instead of leaving these spirit stones idle, it is better to use them to bid for the Foundation Establishment Pill. There are many people in the clan who are waiting for the Foundation Establishment Pill to build their foundation."

"A few more foundation builders"

"In a few years, with their strength, they will be able to earn back this amount of spiritual stones."

This statement came out.

Everyone nodded.

The spirit stones are just dead money if they are left there. After all, no one knows when the other 300,000 spirit stones can be raised.

Yaoyao also felt that she had not thought it through:
"Uncle is still far-sighted"

Fu Changsheng saw that Fu Yongshang, who was sitting at the end, seemed to be hesitant to speak, and said:
"Yong Shang, do you have any good suggestions? You are a great contributor to earning this amount of spiritual stones."

Fu Yongshang immediately waved his hands in panic.

After organizing the language.

Slowly said:
"My uncle said that we can use this sum of spirit stones to bid for the foundation-building pill. I have no objection. However, if our clan has another sum of spirit stones in the future, I suggest that we use it to purchase a treasure ship first."

As an eighth-grade family.

Enjoy the privilege of purchasing treasure ships from the imperial court.

This treasure ship is a pass that allows you to travel to various states.

Fu Changsheng frowned:
"Yongshang, do you want to open up a trade route between Jingzhou and Jingzhou?"

"Exactly!"

Fu Yongshang was very happy that Fu Changsheng understood his thoughts immediately, and said in a gentle tone:
"Homeowner"

"Now, the mistress has been stationed in Jingzhou for more than ten years, and she has established a firm foothold in Jingzhou."

"In our Jingzhou, especially in the remote area of ​​Huainan, since the Hundred Thousand Mountain Beast Tide, all the major markets have not been prosperous, and the number of cultivators traveling back and forth has also been decreasing."

"If we can open up a trade route between Jingzhou and Jingzhou and increase the spiritual vein by 500,000 spiritual stones, I can guarantee that we will be able to achieve our goal within ten years."

Everyone was moved after hearing this.

Fu Molan also thought this was a good idea. She nodded slightly and said:
"If we really want to open up trade routes, then the tribe must select candidates to form a trade team in advance. The tribesmen in the Conquest Hall have many years of hunting experience. If we can support a few of them to break through to the foundation-building stage, that would be even better."

Now, Fu Yongqi, Fu Yonghan, Fu Yonghui and others in the Conquest Hall have reached the peak of Qi Refining and are queuing up for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Fu Changren, however, frowned.

I watched Fu Yongshang hand out a copy of the plan to each person.

After I took it.

He flipped through it casually, then put it aside and shook his head:
"Master, I think it's too aggressive to create a trade route. Unlike our Jingzhou, I heard that the Purple Mansion Repair is often seen in Jingzhou. The previous few times our Fu family went back and forth to Jingzhou, it was just to transport people, so it didn't attract the attention of others. If we really transport goods, the target is so huge, I'm afraid that the Purple Mansion Repair will end up. After all, once we pass Huainan, the high-ranking families can also attack us at any time."

Fu Yongshang bowed to Fu Changren.

Without any hurry, he said:
"I have also taken into account what uncle said, so I plan to have the formation masters and talisman formation masters in the clan modify the treasure ship after purchasing it, just like building the Demon-Protecting City. Our Demon-Protecting City can resist the beast tide and the attacks of the third-level monsters, so it should not be a problem to block the attack of the Purple Mansion Overlord."

“It really doesn’t work”

"We can also apply to the imperial court for a Purple Mansion overhaul to escort us. I have inquired about it. The imperial court's Purple Mansion overhaul can be exchanged for imperial merit points for our use. Of course, the cost is not small, so I still recommend the first option."

talking.

Fu Yongshang looked at Yaoyao.

Yaoyao has already broken through to the third-rank formation master, and when building the Demon-Defending City, she also followed Grandmaster Yu and did it personally.

Yaoyao thought for a moment and didn't make any promises:
"If you want to transform the treasure ship, you have to see the real thing first."

Since there was no consensus, everyone turned their eyes to Fu Changsheng. Naturally, the head of the family had to make the final decision on such matters.

Fu Changsheng drank a sip of Wuling tea to moisten his throat:
"The treasure ship is a must-have for wartime, and we will have to purchase it sooner or later. When we get it, we will let the people from the Formation Hall and the Talisman Hall take a look at the specific situation. We should take it step by step. We cannot eat fat in one bite."

"but"

“Yongshang’s suggestion is very good.”

"If you have any open source ideas, please feel free to speak up."

After the second half of the parliament.

Seeing that everyone had expressed their opinions, Fu Changsheng cleared his throat and said:
"A few years ago, after our Fu family was promoted to the eighth rank, I mentioned to everyone that we had one foundation building and two Qi refining places to enter the Great Zhou Academy. What do you think? Is there anyone who would like to nominate himself or recommend someone?"

Enter the Da Zhou Academy.

It is equivalent to standing on the shoulders of giants.

Moreover, the Great Zhou Academy was founded in the imperial capital.

The cultivation resources there are simply incomparable to those in their remote Jingzhou.

However, they had also heard about the dangers of entering the Great Zhou Academy.

For children from lower-class families, especially those from marginal areas, it is doubtful whether they can survive there, let alone complete their studies.

This statement came out.

Everyone looked at each other.

Yu Lian had heard of it, but her husband had not yet established his foundation, her mother was old, her children were young, and she was burdened with a lot of mundane affairs. Not to mention the imperial capital, she couldn't even leave Jingzhou. She had never thought of leaving her fiefdom.

But she knew deep down that this was a rare opportunity.

So she looked around with envy.

Now Fu Changli and Fu Molan, Liu Runzhi and Yaoyao are all unmarried, so they don’t have to worry at all.

Fu Changsheng's words had just fallen.

Yaoyao took the lead and said:
"Father, I want to go to the Great Zhou Academy to see something."

"Master, I also have this wish."

But it was Fu Molan who spoke.

Yaoyao studied in the secret realm barrier for ten years, wasting ten years of practice time, and only recently broke through to the middle stage of foundation building.

Also.

In addition to resisting the beast tide.

Yaoyao has no experience of going out to gain experience.

Fu Changsheng immediately shook his head:
"Yaoyao, your cultivation is too low, and Uncle Yu is in seclusion. You are the only second-level formation master left in the clan. You stay in Jingzhou."

Compared to entering the secret realm many times.

This is what Fu Molan said, who had been away for a long time taking the Zhengzhan Hall into the mountains to hunt.

Yaoyao still has too little experience.

As Molan and Yaoyao spoke, the male elders of the clan on the left looked at each other.

Fu Changli has never liked fighting and killing, so he is not interested at all.

Fu Yongfu was only good at making talismans and also shook his head.

Fu Yongyi wanted to go, but seeing that Fu Molan had raised her hand, he felt that he was a junior and it might not be his turn. Besides, the clan needed him to survey the mineral veins and mineral sources. Even if he wanted to leave, the clan would not let him go.

Ouyang Fei stroked his beard.

The mouth grew longer.

But he swallowed the words back when they came to his mouth.

He has been at the peak of foundation building for many years. If he goes to the Great Zhou, he will have the opportunity to break through to the Purple Palace. But compared with Fu Molan, who has been silently devoting himself to the family since the Fu family was in its infancy, he is still far from qualified.

Fu Changsheng saw that everyone agreed with Molan.

Of course he had no objection.

Molan has a mutant ice spirit root and possesses bone spirit cold fire. Now her cultivation has broken through to the ninth level of foundation building. With her childhood experiences and years of training, he believes that even if Molan goes to the Da Zhou Academy, she will definitely be able to protect herself:
"Molan, if you have made up your mind, you can stay after the meeting."

"Yes, Master"

The candidate for foundation building has been determined.

Next are the places for two Qi-refining monks.

Yaoyao hesitated for a while and said:
"Father, Brother Fu heard that he could go to the Imperial Capital, and he has been pestering me all these years, saying that if he doesn't go to the Imperial Capital in this life, his life will be in vain. No matter how much I persuade him, it's useless, he just wants to go."

Fu Ge'er's obsession with food is even greater than Fu Changli's obsession with winemaking back then.

He tasted all the delicacies in Huainan Prefecture.

I have also developed many new dishes myself.

It stands to reason.

With his Qi training level, he should not be able to digest so many spiritual materials at all, but his physique is extremely special, and he can convert most of them into his own magic power soon after eating.

and so.

Almost no one in the clan could see him practicing, but his cultivation level was rising rapidly, especially in the past few years in the fiefdom. With Yaoyao's pampering, he even ate a lot of second-level spiritual materials.

He had just turned twenty and had already entered the late stage of Qi Refining.

Fu Ge'er is almost harmless.

Fu Changsheng was worried about the child, but he did not refuse him in person.

Each hall recommended one or two disciples of its own, totaling sixteen people.

Fu Changsheng said:
"In that case, Third Brother, you will organize a clan competition. After everyone has discussed the content of the competition, it will be distributed to the clan members. This time, it is not limited to those who are recommended by everyone. All the children of the Fu family can participate, and then the first and second place will be selected."

"Yes, master!"

Fu Changli agreed with a smile.

This will be a busy time, but it is also a symbol of the family's prosperity.

Everyone decided on the content of the competition on the spot. There were three rounds in total. The first was a hunting match in the Shiwandashan Mountains, the second was held in Wanguiyuan, and the content of the third was decided by the head of the family and kept secret for the time being.

The discussion is over.

After everyone retreated.

Fu Changsheng said:
"Molan, come with me." The two arrived at the clan's treasure house. Fu Changsheng, holding the family head's jade seal, went directly to the innermost small secret room. After the secret room was opened, a treasure box floating in the middle was particularly conspicuous.

Fu Changsheng cast a spell on the patriarch's jade seal. With a humming sound, a ray of spiritual light fell into the treasure box, and the restrictions that bound the treasure box were instantly dissipated.

The treasure box floated towards Fu Molan:
"Molan, please open it and take a look."

"Yes, Master"

Treasures hidden in secret rooms.

Certainly extraordinary.

Fu Molan was somewhat excited, but also somewhat expectant.

The box opened.

But inside was a third-level spiritual weapon:
"Zhenshan Seal!"

Fu Molan's eyes lit up.

The Mountain-Suppressing Seal is the Cao family's treasure.

Fu Changsheng said:
"This time when you go to the imperial capital, the spiritual weapon that our clan can bring to you is this. You should hurry up and refine it while there is still time."

Fu Molan was touched.

After all, this spiritual weapon can be regarded as the clan's treasure, but the head of the family gave it to her without hesitation.

This is the owner's recognition of her.

Fu Molan immediately bowed and said:
"Please rest assured, Patriarch. When we get to the imperial capital, I will definitely not embarrass our Fu family."

"It doesn't matter whether you are embarrassed or not. When you arrive in the imperial capital, especially when you enter the Great Zhou Academy, you will be among the proud children from all over the country. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Remember, safety is the most important thing."

Fu Changsheng gave a few instructions.

After coming out of the treasure house, Fu Changsheng summoned Fu Yongrui and Fu Yongfan to come to the patriarch's mansion together.

When Fu Yongfan received the message, Yu Lian just came back to share the contents of the meeting with him, and said with some excitement:
"My husband, we said at the elders' meeting that we will use the 200,000 spirit stones in our clan to bid for the foundation-building pills at the Yongning Chamber of Commerce. My husband, you have a chance to build your foundation."

these years.

Yulian was afraid that her husband would develop an inferiority complex.

Be careful in everything you do.

Now, the couple has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.

Yu Lian choked up a bit and said:
"Mother has always been thinking about your foundation building. If she can hold on for a few more years and see you succeed in building your foundation, her wish will be fulfilled."

Fu Yongfan patted Yu Lian on the shoulder.

The last four years.

He found that his cultivation speed had obviously increased a lot, especially in recent times. He vaguely felt that the speed at which he absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was roughly the same as that of the three spiritual roots.

But these years.

He has always stayed in the tribe.

There were no adventures.

The only difference was that four years ago, his father took him to the Ascension Platform to retest his spiritual roots.

but.

What happened during this period.

But he just couldn't remember it.

Now thinking back carefully, it was probably because of his father that he was able to improve his spiritual root qualifications, but he only thought about it in his mind. Although he was curious, he did not go to the Ascension Platform to test his spiritual roots to verify his guess.

Also.

Even Yu Lian was not told.

As he was thinking about it, the jade communication talisman on his waist suddenly lit up.

Yu Lian, who was standing by, heard that it was her father who asked her husband to go to the Patriarch's Mansion. Her eyes lit up slightly and she subconsciously grabbed Fu Yongfan's right hand:
"My husband, my father has been in Huaibei Prefecture for four years. Do you think he has already prepared a foundation-building pill for you?!"

If so.

Then they won’t have to worry about not being able to bid for the Foundation Establishment Pill at the auction.

Fu Yongfan, however, did not like to speculate about his father's thoughts, so he shook his head and said:
"Father didn't necessarily call me to discuss the matter of the Foundation Establishment Pill."

"Could it be that father wants you to participate in the Da Zhou Academy's competition?!"

Yu Lian was shocked.

Fearing that Fu Yongfan would agree, he hurriedly said:
"Husband, although the place in the Great Zhou Academy is rare, it is not something we can afford. In a few years, we will all be grandparents. You must not act on impulse."

"What are you thinking about?"

A smile appeared on Fu Yongfan's usually solemn face.

After he started practicing, he had been managing the family affairs. He had no experience in life-and-death combat, so he would never get this spot.
"I'll go first. My father will be waiting anxiously."

talking.

Fu Yongfan walked out quickly.

Yu Lian couldn't stay in the room, so she went to the back mountain to find her mother and talk about this matter.

the other side.

On the bank of an underground river in the tribe.

Fu Yongrui was sitting cross-legged in meditation when he heard the sound of footsteps. Fu Yongrui's eyes suddenly opened and he smiled at the visitor, a rare smile in front of ordinary people:
"Yunfeng, you are here"

This person is Liu Yunfeng, one of the three hostages of the Liu family in Taiyun County, Jingzhou.

Liu Yunfeng slapped the storage bag, and a food box suddenly appeared. The food box had nine layers in total, and contained snacks, sweet soups, steamed dishes, and main dishes. They were still warm, and it was obvious that they had just been taken out of the pot.

Fu Yongrui couldn't wait to taste a bite of Qianyu Cake and said with a smile:
"Yunfeng, your cooking skills have improved a lot."

Liu Yunfeng put out the food boxes one by one. She didn't eat herself but just kept picking up food for the other person.

Took a few bites.

Fu Yongrui noticed that Liu Yunfeng was worried and said:
"Yunfeng, have you heard some rumors again and are imagining things?"

Fu Yongrui straightened himself up, looked Liu Yunfeng straight in the eyes, and said solemnly:
"Yunfeng, don't worry. I have already reached the peak of Qi Refining. I heard that the clan is also preparing for the auction of the Foundation Establishment Pill. When I have established my foundation, the first thing I will do is to get my father's consent for our marriage."

Liu Yunfeng shook his head.

That wasn't what she was worried about.

She bit her lip and said:
"Brother Rui, I heard that the clan is going to hold a martial arts competition, and the two winners will be able to enter the Da Zhou Academy."

So that’s what happened.

Fu Yongrui shook his head and said:
"Yunfeng, you don't have to worry about this. I heard that Brother Fu also wants to go. No matter what, this spot won't fall on me. And what will you do if I leave? I won't participate in this martial arts competition."

Liu Yunfeng smiled slightly when he heard this, but he advised:
"Brother Rui, I heard that entering the Great Zhou Academy can change your destiny. You have such a good aptitude for cultivation, and you have never slacked off in your cultivation. This Great Zhou Academy is a great opportunity for you. If you seize it, you can leave this remote place of Huainan. With your aptitude, you should not be trapped in this lowly place."

"Yunfeng, do you want me to sign up as well?!"

"Well, not only do you have to sign up, but you also have to do your best to get this spot. Brother Rui, do you still remember what you said to me? Strength is everything in this world, and Da Zhou Academy is a springboard for you. It can allow you to fly high and go further on the road of cultivation."

It would be a lie for Fu Yongrui to say he wasn’t moved.

But as soon as he left.

As a hostage, Liu Yunfeng was even more isolated and helpless.

He shook his head and said:
"No, I can't abandon you."

"Brother Rui, I'm still young and can wait. If you really get a place in the Great Zhou Academy, wouldn't it be better if you return home in glory and marry me in the future? Don't worry, I have mastered everything you taught me over the years. Even if I stay in the Fu family alone, I can live a good life. But there is only one chance like this, so I can't regret it for the rest of my life."

Fu Yongrui suffered inhuman torture for ten years during his childhood.

So after embarking on the path of cultivation.

He just wants to become stronger.

Only when you become strong enough can you protect yourself and the people you care about.

Hesitated for a moment.

Fu Yongrui nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll listen to you."

After finishing the food in the lunch box, he suddenly heard a rapid beeping sound from his waist. When he heard it, it was Fu Changsheng calling him.

Liu Yunfeng immediately became excited:
"Brother Rui, the Patriarch summoned you at this time probably to mention the matter of the Great Zhou Academy. You must behave well in front of the Patriarch."

Although Fu Yongrui was considered an adopted son.

But after all, they are not my biological children.

Besides, he is not a member of the Fu family.

Therefore, Fu Yongrui knew his own limitations and never acted recklessly in the clan by relying on his status as the son of the head of the family. On the contrary, because of this status, he was very cautious in everything he did in order not to embarrass or disappoint his father.

Fu Yongrui came up from the secret place of the dark river. When he arrived at the gate of the master's house, he saw that Fu Yongfan had arrived earlier. Fu Changsheng was sitting at the head of the meeting room. Fu Yongrui bowed and said:
"I have met my father and my elder brother"

"Well, sit down"

Fu Changsheng motioned for the two to sit down.

A spell was cast at the magic circle in the conference hall. The light curtain of the magic circle surged, and then closed instantly in the next moment.

Fu Yongfan and Fu Yongrui, who were present, saw this scene and realized that there was something important to say, and they became a little nervous.

Fu Changsheng didn't beat around the bush and said directly:
"I asked you to come here today because I have two foundation-building pills in my hand, and you have all reached the peak of Qi Refining. It's time to build your foundation."

Fu Yongfan's eyes lit up.

Yu Lian actually guessed it right.

He quickly stood up and bowed, saying excitedly:
"Thank you, father. I will never let you down."

"Um"

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly, his eyes falling on the hesitant Fu Yongrui. Although he had rescued this adopted son from the hands of the bad guys, they didn't get along very well. Now he saw that the other party was not excited when he heard about the Foundation Establishment Pill.

I was stunned for a moment.

but.

Then I thought about it.

He guessed a reason:
"Rui Ge'er, do you want to enter the Da Zhou Academy?"

Fu Yongrui has dark spiritual roots and a strong and hardworking character, so it is not impossible for him to enter the Da Zhou Academy.

but.

I’m just afraid that my clan will not agree.

After all, Fu Yongrui does not have the blood of the Fu family, and he has not had much contact with his clansmen in recent years. It would be fine for him to stay in the clan, but if he went to the Da Zhou Academy, he would easily be recruited by other forces.

At Fu's house.

But there was nothing for him to miss.

Fu Yongrui couldn't make up his mind for a moment. One was the opportunity to enter the Da Zhou Academy, and the other was to be able to build a foundation immediately and marry Yun Feng home.
