Family Rise: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 288: The Green Python Transforms into a Dragon, the Human Feelings of Two Golden Cores, and the Joys and Sorrows of the World
Wanning Market.

After the Zhenshi Division took control of the protective magic circle, the entire market town was sealed off like an iron barrel, and the southern barbarians could not escape even with wings.

Less than an hour.

The entire market town was flooded with blood.

All the southern barbarians who had been hiding were killed without a single one left.

The wandering cultivators joyfully lined up in a long queue in front of the Zhenshi Division, carrying bloody heads, waiting to receive their rewards.

This turmoil.

The biggest losses were suffered by the major families.

Not only were the shops looted.

Even the tribesmen guarding the shops were mostly massacred by the southern barbarians.

At this time, the major families began to clean up their shops and count their losses. The Nangong family, next door to the Fu family, was the first to hang up a white lantern.

The magic circle of Nangong family’s shop was destroyed.

Most of the store was destroyed.

Several corpses covered with white cloth were placed in the main hall.

Only Nangong Yu, the youngest son of Nangong Shopkeeper who was hiding in the secret room, survived. He handed a storage bag on his waist to the great elder Nangong who was sitting in the main hall with both hands, and choked up and said:
"Great Elder, when the southern barbarians attacked the market, our big shops were their primary target. Although my father and my third uncle tried their best to protect the shops, they still..."

To the end.

Nangong Yu was already crying uncontrollably.

This time he came to the market town just to tell his father that he was going to be a grandfather soon. Unexpectedly, the good news turned into bad news, and this meeting became the last one between them.

Great Elder Nangong took a deep breath:
"The dead cannot be resurrected, Xiaoyu, you should mourn."

His father's body was laid out before him.

How could Nangong Yu not be sad? His mother died soon after giving birth to him, and his father never remarried. He raised him with great difficulty and left all his monthly salary to him. He thought that after building his foundation, he would be able to share some of his father's burden and let his father live happily for the rest of his life. However, he never expected that he would suddenly encounter an invasion by the southern barbarians.

Think about it.

The sadness in Nangong Yu's eyes turned into overwhelming hatred.

Revenge for killing his father.

He, Nangong Yu, will make the Yinan tribe pay for its blood debt with blood!
On the opposite side is the Gongsun family shop.

Different from the sad atmosphere of the Nangong family.

At this time, the entire main hall of the shop was filled with a tense and murderous atmosphere, and Gongsun Wen, who had rushed over from the clan, sat at the head of the group.

The tribesmen who survived the catastrophe knelt on the ground trembling with fear, and said tremblingly:
"Reporting to Elder Wen, when the turmoil started, I followed the head of the family out of the Wanning Chamber of Commerce, but the head of the family turned around and rushed into the Fu family shop. At that time, everyone in the market was like crazy and in chaos. I didn't dare to stay outside. I thought about protecting the clan's treasury at all costs, so I sneaked into the secret room and closed the magic circle."

"but"

"The patriarch did indeed bid for ten foundation-building pills, and they are of top quality."

The more he spoke.

Gongsun Wen's face became increasingly ugly.

Because Gongsun Run’s soul lamp has been extinguished.

In other words.

This time, not only did they lose the Phoenix Blood Wood, a relic of their ancestors, but also hundreds of thousands of spirit stones that the entire clan had saved up over the past decade or so by tightening their belts.

Plus the loss of the store.

The only person in the clan who reached the half-step purple mansion also died.

The above three factors combined, for the Gongsun family, the losses are even greater than the beast tide turmoil.

When Gongsun Wen thought of this, his scalp went numb.

Next.

I'm afraid the Gongsun family will have to keep a low profile.

The tribesmen below were unaware of this and were still indignantly saying:
"Elder Wen, the foundation-building pill is most likely in the hands of the Fu family. The Fu family actually dared to kill our master in the market. The Fu family really doesn't take our Gongsun family seriously. Elder Wen, we must ask the Zhenshi Division to administer justice and make the Fu family spit out the foundation-building pill to redress the injustice for our dead master!"

idiot!

Gongsun Wen endured it again and again.

That's why I didn't kick the idiot away.

Relying on his breakthrough to the Half-Step Purple Mansion, the head of the family couldn't wait to seek revenge on the Fu family, but unexpectedly he was killed in return. They didn't even have time to suppress the matter, and they even dared to go to the Zhenshi Division to complain. Isn't this courting death?

And the head of the family is dead.

The Gongsun family will have to walk on thin ice.

In the future, I will take a detour when I see people from the Fu family. I dare not provoke them anymore.

The Gongsun family has already declined.

All he could do was to prevent the Gongsun family from being swallowed up by other noble families, and wait for the future:
"Alright, stop howling. Go outside and hang up the spirit-calling banners. Then immediately organize people to tidy up the shop and try to open it as soon as possible."

As the Nangong family's shops hung up white lanterns and the Gongsun family's soul-calling banners, the entire market town soon turned white.

The Zhenshisi gave the order.

During the three-day mourning period, all shops in the market are closed.

Different from the sorrow and sadness of other families.

The atmosphere at the Fu family shop is still relatively relaxed.

Fu Yongshang bowed to Fu Changsheng, who was sitting at the head of the hall, and said:
"Master, the biggest loss to our Fu family during this turmoil was the protective magic array of the store. However, the central array disk is fine, only the eight-sided array disk has cracks. When the time comes, we can ask Eleventh Sister to help repair it."

"In addition, there is the structural damage to the shops."

"But the imperial court has already promised that during this turmoil, only half of the taxes and silver that businesses have to pay will be paid this year. This way, our losses can be offset directly."

There was a pause.

Fu Yongshang handed over another storage bag with both hands:
"Master, this is the head of the southern barbarian we killed. According to the imperial court's calculation, it can be exchanged for nearly 1,000 imperial merit points."

Thanks to the patriarch for giving each of them a second-level soul-eating insect.

Plus the master’s ghost servant Qiu Chan.

In the great battle to encircle and suppress the southern barbarians, their Fu family captured more heads of southern barbarians than any other family could even dream of.

Fu Changsheng took the storage bag and nodded slightly:
"Yongshang, after three days, you will sell all the elixirs we have accumulated over the years and list them on the market. For our compatriots who died in the turmoil, we will give an 18% discount on the elixirs of the Fu family to show our gratitude."

This unrest.

Many independent cultivators must have taken the opportunity to collect a lot of good things.

Simultaneously.

Many monks were injured in this turmoil.

Therefore, no matter whether it is a elixir for healing or for improving cultivation, it will surely sell well. In addition, the shops of other aristocratic families are estimated to have little inventory, so it is hard for the Fu family’s business to not be doing well.

Fu Yongshang's eyes lit up when he heard this:
"Master, I will get started right away."

"Well, I'm going to Zhenshisi."

As soon as Fu Changsheng left.

Fu Yongyun, who was full of doubts, couldn't help but say:
"Elder Yongshang, according to the market, the elixirs should be scarce and in short supply right now. Our shop should increase the price of the elixirs. Why is the head of the family selling them at a discount? Compared to those false reputations, they are not as important as real money and silver."

Fu Yongshang heard this.

He smiled and shook his head.

He picked up a piece of cake from the coffee table and ate it, then said:
"Yongyun, go outside and take a look around. After our store opens, if you still don't understand, come and ask me this question again."

This turmoil.

Everyone suffered heavy losses, and there were even casualties.

If the Fu family acted as if nothing had happened and continued to do business in a high-profile manner, it would definitely cause resentment from others.

The most important things in doing business are reputation and character.

If the Fu family was labeled as a family that distributed disaster money, they would probably have difficulty attracting customers in the future.

The head of the family did this.

Not only can it make the pills stored in the warehouse sell well, but it also earns a good reputation. It is not only of great help to the future business of their Fu family, but it is also a good idea for establishing the family's prestige.

It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone.

Fu Changsheng left his shop and went straight to the Zhenshi Division. The Zhenshi Division had already ordered that no one in the market was allowed to go out within a month.

Many chess pieces placed by the Yinan tribes appeared in the market this time.

Obviously.

The Zhenshi Division wants to take this opportunity to identify all the spies and eliminate them completely to prevent future troubles.

Arrived at the gate of the market.

The casual cultivators were still carrying the southern barbarian heads and queuing up to wait for the exchange rewards.

As the head of an eighth-rank family, Fu Changsheng naturally did not need to queue up. He walked straight through the crowd and headed towards the main hall.

The casual cultivators who had been queuing for a whole day couldn't help but say enviously:
"No wonder everyone is trying so hard to establish an aristocratic family. Look, the people in these aristocratic families don't act according to so many rules and regulations as we do. Hey, it would be great if we could also establish a ninth-grade aristocratic family."

"I heard that the Patriarch of the Fu family raised four sons of cultivators in the family and was promoted to the eighth rank now. Brother Qiao, you have also given birth to more than a dozen children. If you follow the example of the Patriarch of the Fu family, you may become the Patriarch of a ninth rank family one day."

This statement came out.

Everyone burst into laughter immediately.

Qiao Daniu puffed out his chest and said in a muffled voice:
"What are you laughing at? A person must have his own beliefs when he is alive. Our Qiao family cannot become an aristocratic family in my generation, but what about my grandson and my grandson's grandson? As long as our descendants work towards this goal, there will always be a day when we can become an aristocratic family!"

The others heard this.

Everyone shut up.

But some people still couldn't stand Qiao Daniu's ambitions and sneered:
"What about your descendants? You think a catastrophe can destroy your Qiao family? How naive you are."

When Fu Changsheng entered the main hall of Zhenshisi.

It was discovered that in just a few days, the collapsed city walls and houses of Zhenshisi had been rebuilt intact.

In the main hall.

However, the pacification envoy of Jingzhou Wanhu Suo and Luo Haitang were sitting at the head of the group, one on each side. He was the only one summoned this time:
"Greetings to the Governor and Senior Luo."

"Um"

The pacification envoy from Jingzhou Wanhusuo this time was named Li, looked to be in his forties or fifties, dressed like a scholar, and also had the cultivation level of a fake elixir. He pointed to a seat beside him and asked Fu Changsheng to sit down, then he said:
"The reason why Wanning Market was able to be defended this time was all thanks to you, Patriarch Fu, who tipped us off in advance. Otherwise, after the southern barbarians destroyed the teleportation array, not only would Wanning Market suffer, but the Huainan family would also be looted, and the consequences would be disastrous."

"Patriarch Fu, you have done a great deed this time."

"Do you need me to commend you to the court?"

While talking.

Luo Haitang, who was drinking tea with his head down, raised his eyes and glanced at Fu Changsheng.

Fu Changsheng's thoughts raced.

Trying to figure out what Li Zhenfu meant.

This time the Yinnan area fell under attack. If the imperial court were to investigate, the Zhenshi Division and the seventh-rank Luo family who were in charge of Huainan Prefecture would at least be charged with negligence.

Envoy Li asked this question.

Obviously there was no intention to report it at all.

Fu Changsheng quickly stood up and bowed:
"The reason why the Yinan tribe was able to successfully infiltrate the market town was actually a big plan set up in advance by Lord Li Zhenfu and Senior Luo. The purpose was to lure the people of the Yinan tribe in to close the door and beat the dog. My message to Palace Master Xu was just a superfluous move and cannot be considered a meritorious service. The great merit was made by Lord Li and Senior Luo who were behind the scenes."

This statement came out.

Luo Haitang couldn't help but look at Fu Changsheng again, with a smile on his face, then turned around and looked at Li Zhenfushi.

Envoy Li coughed lightly.

He nodded with satisfaction at Fu Changsheng's eye-catching performance:
"That being said, you were able to notice the clues before the others, which is rare. As a reward, the two of us promise to grant you a request. Tell me, what do you want?"

ask?

The first thing Fu Changsheng wanted was the star stone, and the second was the soul-guiding pill, an auxiliary spiritual object that could help him break through the third level of the Purple Mansion and awaken his soul to move to the Niwan Palace.

However, the words came to my lips.

He swallowed it again immediately.

The two people in front of me have the potential to enter the Golden Core Realm at any time. It would be a great loss if they were used to exchange for a Soul-Guiding Pill.

It’s better to keep this favor.

It’s not too late to talk about it if you really need it in the future.

Therefore, Fu Changsheng bowed again:
"I am already very grateful to Lord Li and Senior Luo for their appreciation, and I dare not ask for any reward."

What a smart guy.

Luo Haitang put down the teacup in his hand.

They were more interested in the head of the eighth-rank family under their Luo family.

Upon hearing this, Governor Li also laughed.

They are all smart people.

Everyone understood it tacitly and just passed it over.

However, Fu Changsheng still had one more question to ask:
"Two seniors, I heard that the attack on the market town by the Yinan tribe was planned by Qiu Kuizi. May I ask if the culprit has been arrested?"

At that time, Luo Haitang only said that Li Zhenfushi chased after him.

This statement came out.

Envoy Li Zhenfu showed an unnatural look on his face:
"Qiu Kuizi fled all the way to the fork in the road between the Blood Forbidden Land and the East Wasteland. He suddenly changed his mind and sneaked into the third level of the Blood Forbidden Land."

The third level of the Blood Forbidden Land has always been a place where people can enter but not leave.

Fu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He wanted to try to ask the court whether it had any plans to counterattack the Yinan tribe, but Li Zhenfu Shi had already picked up the teacup. He immediately realized that this was an order to expel the foreigners, so he bowed and retreated.

Out of the main hall.

Palace Master Xu, who had been guarding the door for a long time, was obviously relieved to see Fu Changsheng come out safely.

She motioned Fu Changsheng to follow her into the side hall.

After closing the magic circle.

He immediately bowed to Fu Changsheng.

"Palace Master Xu, what are you doing? Please stand up quickly."

Fu Changsheng quickly helped the man up.

Palace Master Xu was full of gratitude. If Fu Changsheng had not sent the message in time, she would have been killed by the swords of the southern barbarians by now, and the entire Huainan Zhenshisi would have been destroyed. If the imperial court investigated, even their Xu family would have been implicated to some extent.

This is more than just a life-saving grace.

She will remember this great kindness forever.

After the two sat down.

Palace Master Xu then spoke:
"Patriarch Fu, after the turmoil in the market town has passed, I will most likely be transferred away from Huainan. Before that, within the scope of my authority, if there is anything I can do to help your Fu family, please feel free to ask."

"also"

"If you are willing, Chief Fu, when I return to the clan, I will definitely find a good girl to marry into your Fu family."

"Of course, if you, Patriarch Fu, want to marry your daughter into our Xu family, then our Xu family will certainly give you a warm welcome."

Marriage?!
Fu Changsheng's heart moved.

The resources of Huaibei Prefecture are better than those of Huainan.

It would be great if we could expand the family territory to Huaibei Prefecture through the Xu family.

He immediately bowed without hesitation and said:
"It is a blessing for my Fu family to have the honor of marrying into the Xu family of Palace Master Xu. Changsheng is extremely happy."

The two of them hit it off immediately.

However, Fu Changsheng has not yet made up his mind about his marriage partner and will decide after he returns to his fiefdom.

the end.

He handed over the heads of the southern barbarians in the storage bag. Together with the ones he had accumulated before, the Fu family's imperial merit value had reached five thousand, which was obviously far from being upgraded to a seventh-grade family.

Just now.

A familiar mechanical voice sounded in his mind:
"Ding"

"You have earned 1,000 Imperial Merit Points for your family and 500 Family Contribution Points."

Followed by.

The family contribution value on the panel changed to six thousand.

After coming out of Zhenshisi.

The one-month period was up, and after the market town had been thoroughly checked and people were allowed to enter and leave freely, Fu Changsheng immediately rushed back to his fiefdom in Yunshan County.

Now that he has obtained the Thousand Soul Jade, he naturally seizes the time to practice the third level of "Dayan Jue". Once the practice is complete, he will use the [Xuanyin Grass] to open the Niwan Palace and become a half-step purple mansion!

Therefore, he handed over the clan affairs to his third brother Fu Changli.

So I chose to go into seclusion.

After the door of the secret room is closed.

Fu Changsheng's thoughts landed in the [Training Room], and he immediately had an idea:
"Open the practice room"

hum!
The panel vibrates.

A large amount of yellow light surged.

Then there was a flash before my eyes.

next moment.

He appeared in a familiar quiet room, and the scent of the concentration incense filled his nose, calming his originally excited mood a lot.

"call"

Take a deep breath.

Only then did he begin to count the gains from this trip to the market.

At the auction.

He bid for two treasures in total, one was the [Message Tree] and the other was the [Phoenix Blood Wood].

With the [Phoenix Blood Wood], the only things missing to set up the formation to isolate the secrets of heaven are the two spiritual materials [Dragon Scale Stone] and [Ethereal Mica]. Then the secret realm will be opened and Rong Ge'er will be able to come out of it.

Fu Changsheng's thoughts fell on the [Message Tree] in the Huangshi Medicine Garden.

According to intelligence mentioned.

This [Message Tree] was left behind by an ascended monk, which means that if the other party is still alive, perhaps I can contact him.

He pondered for a while.

Fu Changsheng made a hand gesture with his right hand and quickly wrote a line of words densely packed on a piece of [Message Leaf]:
"Senior, I am a cultivator from the Great Zhou Dynasty in the lower world. I am fortunate to have received a branch of the [Message Tree] that you left behind. I would like to express my regards. I wonder if you are doing well in the spiritual world? Do you have any unfulfilled wishes in the lower world? If I can, I am willing to share your worries. I am Fu Changsheng."

Fu Changsheng had originally wanted to ask about the matter of ascension.

But he found that the message leaf was already filled with words, so he had to give up. He planned that if there was any message from the upper realm, it would not be too late for him to reply.

After finishing writing.

hum!
But I saw [News Leaf] tremble slightly.

Then it fell from the tree and disappeared into nothingness.

Fu Changsheng stared at the message tree expectantly, but after a long time, no message came back:
"Perhaps that senior is in seclusion."

Fu Changsheng observed for a while, and when he saw no feedback, he withdrew his gaze.

One shot storage bag.

A flash of glow.

The white box with dragon pattern obtained from Patriarch Tian suddenly appeared.

The box is forbidden to open.

But I saw yellow light emerging from inside.

A [Dragon Fruit] the size of an adult's thumb came into view. The pattern of this fruit vaguely showed a dragon lying in a coil. The spiritual energy contained within was extremely majestic, and it also contained an alluring fragrance:
"It is indeed a rare fruit that can awaken the blood of spirit beasts."

at the same time.

Clouds surround the Purple Fairy Tower.

Many spirit beasts seemed to have smelled the scent and became agitated at the same time, with the green python reacting the most.

Bang bang bang!
At this time, it has transformed into its true form. Its huge body keeps hitting the top of the second floor of the pagoda, and its eyes turn blood red:
"Xiaoqing, calm down!"

Fu Changsheng glanced at the Yunhuan Zixian Tower.

As the number of spiritual pets increased, this small tower was no longer sufficient.

It would be nice if it could be upgraded to a few more levels.

"hiss~"

The green python raised its head and roared in the tower.

But with his suppression and comfort, she finally calmed down.

He did not feed the [Dragon Fruit] to the Green Python immediately. He had consulted his fourth sister before going into seclusion. When a spiritual beast awakens its bloodline, it often needs a tremendous amount of spiritual power to nourish it. The more spiritual power it has, the more its potential will be developed.

Fu Changsheng slapped his storage bag.

A flash of glow.

In an instant, spiritual stones came out one after another.

Accompanied by the chanting of magic spells.

After more than a month of work, a large-scale spirit gathering array was finally set up. After all the spirit stones obtained in the market were placed there, once the spirit gathering array was activated, the spiritual energy in the entire quiet room, based on the original third-level spirit vein of the fiefdom, could reach the level of a third-level top-grade spirit spring:
“That should be enough.”

After checking several times, there was no problem.

Fu Changsheng then made up his mind and released the green python from the Yunhuan Zixian Tower: "Hiss~"

After the green python appeared.

It rubbed Fu Changsheng's shoulder in a very intimate manner. The originally aloof little thing also learned to please people under the temptation of the [Dragon Fruit].

Fu Changsheng chuckled:
"Xiaoqing, go to the formation"

"Fizz!"

A flash of green light.

The green python was extremely obedient and immediately shrank its body and fell into the formation. It raised its head high and looked at Fu Changsheng eagerly.

Fu Changsheng pointed to the box placed in front of him.

The box opened.

【Dragon Fruit】 floated out instantly.

The moment it saw the [Dragon Fruit], the Green Python could no longer remain calm. It roared angrily and swallowed the exotic fruit in one gulp.

After eating the spiritual fruit.

The green python immediately coiled up its body like a human, as if meditating. The powerful medicinal power of the Dragon Fruit rushed around in its body with a bang, and the terrifying medicinal power caused large drops of demon blood to ooze out of its skin.

But the green python had no intention of spitting it out:
"Xiaoqing, you have to make every effort. Even if you can't awaken the dragon bloodline, you must take advantage of this favorable situation to break through to the third level directly!"

Not long ago.

The green python just took the [Purple Heavenly Herb].

Breaking through to the third level is just the finishing touch.

As time goes by.

The violent medicinal power of [Dragon Fruit] was slowly being refined by the Green Python. At the same time, the Green Python's body shape was constantly changing.
