Family Rise: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 316

[6: There are several pieces of red fire copper hidden in the secret room of the chief of the Qiuya tribe. If you integrate them into your natal spiritual weapon, you can upgrade the third-level treasure lotus lantern to the third-level upper grade.]

[7: A Bodhi tree was planted in the Yinan Tribe's spiritual medicine garden. It is already a thousand years old.]

[8: The Tianshang tribe contains Frost Black Iron, this spiritual object can repair the spiritual cannon of the Tianlong warship]

【9:.】

Fu Changsheng exchanged more than a dozen pieces of intelligence in total. Almost all of the information on them was related to the Donghuang tribe. When he saw that the Luo family was going to go to war with the Donghuang tribe, he smiled:

“This is a good opportunity”

After Luo Haitang of the seventh-grade Luo family broke through to the golden elixir level.

If the Luo family wants to be promoted to the sixth rank, they will definitely need a lot of imperial merit points and resources. If they follow the rules, they don't know how many years they will have to wait. Going to war with the East Wasteland Tribe is undoubtedly the fastest way to be promoted:

“It seems that we need to prepare well.”

The thought just came to mind.

A familiar mechanical voice suddenly came to my mind:
"Ding"

"Ouyang Fei successfully broke through the Purple Mansion. Your clan has gained a new Purple Mansion fighter and obtained 1,000 family contribution points."

Followed by.

The family contribution value on the panel instantly changed to eight thousand and seventy.

Fu Changsheng's eyes lit up, and he was about to withdraw his thoughts when he saw another line of text appear on the panel:
[When your family contribution value accumulates to 50,000, the system can be upgraded again, and new functions will be enabled at that time]

System upgrade again?!
Fu Changsheng's heart moved.

Currently the system is only version V1, so the information it provides is highly random and a lot of it cannot be captured. It is also unable to detect people and things with higher levels of cultivation than it.

Once upgraded.

The functionality should be improved.

The random draw shouldn’t just be about second-level spiritual objects.

Also.

There are also new systems and new features.

This is even more anticipated.

The system currently has four major functions: [Intelligence], [Lottery], [Kung Fu Deduction], and [Offspring Qualification Improvement]. Except for the lottery, the other three are all very useful.

Want to accumulate enough contribution points.

Then he has to plan carefully for the next tribal campaign.

Come out from the Yu family’s fiefdom.

The green dragon roared and rose up, sweeping its long tail and soaring into the sky. The green dragon was extremely fast, and in less than an hour, the outline of Yunshan County gradually appeared, surrounded by mountains, winding rivers, and towering cities.

The green dragon roared and flew towards the city gate.

The city was bustling with activity at the moment, and everything was decorated to look like a celebration in the Purple Palace. Colorful ribbons fluttered on both sides of the street, and gorgeous lanterns hung high above the houses, making the entire city look like a dream. The air was filled with a strong festive atmosphere.

The people in the city heard the loud noise from the sky and looked up at the sky. When they saw Fu Changsheng returning on the green dragon, they cheered like thunder. Although Fu Changsheng had broken through the Purple Mansion for many years, he had kept it a secret. Only the elders of the clan knew about it, and many low-level disciples did not know about it.

Until recently, the Purple Mansion Celebration was to be held.

At this time, everyone was so excited to see the master Zifu return that they all knelt on one knee and kowtowed:

"Welcome back, master of the family!" The uniform voice echoed in the square, as if to push the joyful atmosphere to a climax.

Amid the cheering crowd, Fu Yongyun, an old man of the first generation of the Fu family, was slightly hunched over, but his eyes could not hide the pride and emotion shining in his eyes.

The old man gently stroked his grandson's head and said earnestly:
"Child, you must cherish these hard-earned good days. When the patriarch took office, the Fu family only had four cultivators, and they were so poor that they couldn't even afford a spiritual hoe. The four major Qi-refining families in Anyang County were eyeing them covetously, but the patriarch relied on his courage and wisdom to develop the Fu family into an eighth-grade family step by step. Now, most of the prosperity of our Fu family is earned by the patriarch's blood and sweat. You must remember this."

"Well, grandson remembers it."

The child nodded repeatedly.

The old man smiled with satisfaction and continued:

"The development of the family cannot be separated from the efforts of everyone. You must always remember that you are a member of the Fu family and contribute your own strength to the development of the family. Only when each of us is strong can the Fu family prosper and stand firm in this ever-changing world of cultivation."

It's like a conversation between an old man and his grandson.

There are quite a few among the crowd.

They are all elderly people who are unable to build a foundation themselves and place their hopes on the next generation.

at this moment.

The powerful and majestic figure of Fu Changsheng.

The seeds have been planted in the hearts of the younger generation.

at the same time.

A familiar mechanical voice came from Fu Changsheng's sea of ​​consciousness:
"Ding"

"You have gained the fanatical worship and submission of the family's new blood, and gained one thousand family contribution points."

Followed by.

The family contribution value on the panel instantly changed to nine thousand.

Fu Changsheng's eyes lit up slightly.

the other side.

Fu Yongfan, who was waiting at the mountain gate, quickly stepped forward to greet him:
"Father"

Gongsun's Hongliang Mountain has been transferred to Yu's family. Fu Yongfan and others have also withdrawn from Hongliang Mountain. Fu Yongfan is the one who organized the Purple Mansion Celebration:
"Father, I have sent invitations to all the major families in Huainan Prefecture. The celebration will be held in ten days. Here are the seats for the guests and the order of the dishes I have planned. In addition."

Fu Changsheng listened halfway.

Then he raised his hand and said:

"Brother Fan, you are in charge of the Purple Mansion Celebration. There is no need to report to me. I'm going to the back mountain."

According to intelligence mentioned.

After Fu Yongwei broke through to the foundation-building stage, the plant and tree spirits would undergo new changes, and he paid special attention to this.

When Yongwei's plant spirit awakens, it can extract the essence of the plant to give birth to spiritual plants. However, at that time it was only effective for first-level spiritual creatures. Now that the spirit has changed, I don't know if it can ripen second-level spiritual creatures.

Water Curtain Cave in the back mountain.

The second-level spiritual field here has been promoted to the third level after decades of cultivation by Fairy Cai.

The main medicine planted is for building the foundation.

Fairy Cai passed away, and Master Yu went into seclusion.

In addition to the special nature of Fu Yongwei's spirit, Fu Changsheng ordered that only Fu Yongwei was allowed to live in this place, and outsiders were not allowed to enter or leave without his permission.

hum!
A ray of light from the patriarch's token fell into the Water Curtain Cave.

A ripple flashed by.

Fu Changsheng's body flashed and he entered the cave, and the light curtain of the formation behind him closed instantly.

The moment you step into the cave, a rich spiritual energy hits you in the face. The spiritual spring well in the Water Curtain Cave has been promoted to the third-grade upper grade following the last upgrade of the spiritual vein.

Inside the cave.

Wherever you look, you see a vibrant scene.

The plants of the main foundation-building medicine in the third-level spiritual field are arranged neatly in the spiritual field. Each plant is more than half a person tall, with thick and strong stems supporting lush branches and leaves. The leaves are emerald green with crystal clear dewdrops hanging on them.

"Homeowner"

When Fu Yongwei saw Fu Changsheng coming in, she quickly put away the rain-casting technique.

After breaking through to the foundation building stage.

Fu Yongwei's entire temperament became more holy.

Fu Changsheng sat down at the catalpa teahouse in the courtyard and first asked Fu Yongwei if she had any doubts about cultivation. After answering them, he said:
"Yongwei"

"After you broke through the foundation building stage, did you feel that the effectiveness of your spirit body had changed?"

Fu Yongwei was stunned for a moment.

shook his head.

Truthfully said:
"Reporting to the Patriarch, since you told me not to use the spirit body ripening effect easily last time, I have not used it again."

He is an honest person.

He has the same temperament as his elder brother.

Fu Changsheng waved his sleeves, and a box suddenly appeared. In the box were three second-level low-grade cloud star flowers, and a cloud star flower seed:
"Yongwei, try your spirit body ripening effect again."

"Yes, Master"

Fu Yongwei nodded slightly.

I feel a little nervous, but also a little expectant.

After taking the Yunxing flower.

Close your eyes and immerse yourself completely in your own plant spirit.

A soft green light appeared around her body, which gradually spread and enveloped the spiritual flowers and herbs. As her spiritual power circulated, the Cloud Star Flower began to tremble slightly, and the spiritual light on the petals became stronger and stronger. Strands of green essence were slowly extracted from the Cloud Star Flower.

Fu Changsheng's eyes lit up.

Obviously.

The efficacy of Fu Yongwei's plant spirits has really evolved.

He was just thinking about asking Yongwei to try to ripen the Yunxing Flower, but he saw Fu Yongwei's body swaying slightly, and her face suddenly turned pale:

"Yongwei, how are you?"

"It's okay, Patriarch."

Fu Yongwei smiled and shook her head, her eyes sparkling. She was about to use the essence she had just extracted to ripen the Yunxing Flower seeds in her hand, but was stopped by Fu Changsheng:
"Yongwei, don't be in a hurry, rest up before you start again."

Fu Changsheng didn't want Fu Yongwei's spirit to be damaged.

Half a day passed like this.

After Fu Yongwei recovered, she took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, and immersed herself in the wonderful world of plant and tree spirits again.

The soft green light once again shone around her. This light was like the gentlest spring breeze, swaying gently and gradually spreading to the cloud star flower seeds in her hand. Under the cover of the green light, the cloud star flower seeds seemed to be given life, and began to tremble slightly and sprout.

hum!
As the essence in your hand is consumed.

The Yunxing flower seeds in Fu Yongwei's hand had only grown to ten feet tall, and the buds had not even opened yet.

Lift and extract the essence of plants.

The ripening process makes Fu Yongwei's burden even heavier.

At this time, his body was already shaky and his face was as pale as paper.

Fu Yongwei knew that the patriarch had high hopes for her, but with the power of her spiritual body now, it was obvious that she would need six times the amount to ripen a Yunxing flower.

It's simply not worth it:
"Master, I'm sorry"

Fu Yongwei lowered her head in shame.

Fu Changsheng didn't say much, but stepped forward quickly and checked Fu Yongwei's body first. Seeing that the other party had not consumed her essence, but needed several months to recuperate, he breathed a sigh of relief. He also had a general understanding of Fu Yongwei's spirit body:

"Yongwei, please sit down."

After thinking for a while.

Fu Changsheng then comforted the other party:
"Yongwei, do you think that the effects of your spiritual body are too useless?"

Fu Yongwei nodded.

Not only useless.

And it's a thankless job.

Fu Changsheng smiled and said:
"Yongwei, you grow spiritual plants, so you must know better than me that even though they are both second-grade, low-grade spiritual herbs, they have different effects and commercial values. Do you understand what I mean?"

Fu Yongwei was stunned for a moment.

I thought about it carefully.

Eyes light up:
"Master, do you mean that I can extract the essence of those cheap second-level spiritual plants and use it to cultivate those scarce spiritual values?"

"exactly"

Fu Changsheng pointed to the spiritual field next to him:
"For example, the three acres of foundation-building spiritual medicine in front of us will take a hundred years to cultivate to maturity. But if your spirit body ripens it, taking into account your spirit body recovery and normal cultivation time, it is estimated that one furnace of foundation-building spiritual medicine can be ripened every five years, which greatly shortens the time."

"also"

"The value of the Foundation Building Pill far exceeds that of an ordinary second-grade lower-grade elixir."

"In the future, our Fu family will be able to continuously cultivate new foundation-building clan members. This is a major move to expand the family. Yongwei, from today on, you must remember that you must not let any third person know about the effects of your spiritual body. In addition, do not let anyone else enter this Water Curtain Cave in the future. I will pass on the order that this place will be a forbidden area for the clan in the future."

"Yes, Master"

Fu Yongwei smiled brightly instantly.

If it weren't for the head of the family.

She had already died in a foreign land.

Now that she could contribute to the development of the family, she was naturally happy. It was just a pity that she failed to produce the third-level spiritual herbs that the patriarch needed. However, she secretly decided in her heart that she would work harder and study the effects of her spiritual body in the future, and strive to ripen the third-level spiritual medicine as soon as possible.

On the day of celebration.

It's just dawn.

A sword rainbow came rushing from the sky and headed towards the Demon-Defending City.

On the flying sword were the He clan leader and his daughter.

Patriarch He's face was particularly bright today, or perhaps it could be said that the smile on his face had never faded since he learned that the Gongsun family was destroyed by the Fu family.

Their He family belongs to the Gongsun family.

But their daughter married into the Fu family. Because of this, the Gongsun family had been making things difficult for the He family over the years. Now that this huge stone in their hearts has finally been removed, how can they not be happy.

He Qingshang behind him had already established her foundation, but her face no longer had the arrogance and domineering look of the eldest lady in the past. A few years ago, her father found a son-in-law for her, but he was a hopeless person. She used up all her family contribution points and begged her father again and again to get him a foundation-building pill. But he failed to establish his foundation. She had repeatedly assured her father that the dead guy would be able to establish his foundation successfully, but this time he was completely slapped in the face. She never expected that the dead guy would use this as an excuse to become addicted to alcohol, and now he has become a laughing stock of the whole family.

in those days.

If she had listened to her father and married into the Fu family, she would have already become the sought-after daughter-in-law of the head of the Fu family. The concubine sister who was not even worthy of carrying his shoes back then would now have to be careful to flatter her even if her father saw her.

It's really, really infuriating!

Patriarch He turned his head and looked at his daughter, his expression changed, and he sighed faintly:
"Shang'er, your father is old. In a few years, I'm afraid I will have to abdicate. Among your brothers and sisters, the only one who can help you now is Qingru. The promotion of the Fu family to the seventh rank will probably take a few decades. Not only for you personally, but also for the interests of the He family, you will need to manage your relationship with Qingru in the future. At the critical moment, if Qingru can help our He family leak a little information, or help us say a few good words in front of the head of the Fu family, it will have a completely different effect. Do you understand?"

He Qingchang sighed inwardly; she had already accepted her fate.

Nodding slightly:

"Don't worry, father. I'm going to be a grandmother soon. I understand the interests involved."

When the two arrived in front of the Fu family archway, Patriarch He chanted a secret spell. When he looked at the Fu family archway again, an incredible look flashed in his eyes and his body shook.

Arrived at the mountain gate.

The gift that was originally presented was replaced immediately.

"Congratulations, this is a small gift from our He family, please accept it, Brother Fan."

Fu Yongfan, who was welcoming guests at the front door, was shocked when he saw the treasure in the gift box. He never expected that the He family would give such a valuable gift:
"Uncle He, thank you for your expense. Please come in."

Fu Yongfan took it with both hands and handed it to Fu Yongqi, who was in charge of recording the gifts today. Fu Yongqi glanced at it, his pupils shrank, and he said loudly:
"The ninth-rank He family sent a portion of Gengjin!"

The Wu and Liu families, who had arrived a day earlier to help the Fu family receive the guests, were all shocked when they heard this.

Gengjin is extremely scarce both in Huainan Prefecture and Jingzhou.

It must be born in the deep of spiritual veins, with Gengjin spiritual essence as the foundation, and after hundreds of years of spiritual essence precipitation and spiritual power tempering. If there is a slight mistake during this period, all the previous efforts will be wasted, and the spiritual pressure in the land of spiritual veins is surging, the restrictions are solemn, and it is extremely dangerous. After it is formed, it attracts covetousness from all sides. Demons and evil spirits are everywhere, and the fighting is fierce. Every time Gengjin appears in the world, it will cause a storm, and cultivators will flock to it, but there are only a few who can get it.

The Wu Liu clan leaders looked at each other:
"Patriarch He is such a generous old fox that he even took out a treasure like Gengjin. Could it be that he wants to take this opportunity to ask the Fu family to use their connections to register it under the name of a Fu family subordinate?"

"It's not impossible. Now that the Gongsun family has been destroyed, I heard that the He family's upper family has not yet been decided. This old fox has never done business at a loss."

With the arrival of Patriarch He, the originally quiet front of the Fu family suddenly became lively. Soon after, the Liang family, Qi family, Cao family, Hong family and other noble families also followed suit. For a time, the crowd of people coming to congratulate was bustling and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

The head of the Cao family brought all the family members to the door of the Fu family and presented a gift: "Brother Fan, for today's celebration, my Cao family specially prepared a portion of Longmu ginseng, congratulations."

The shape of Longmu Ginseng is like a longan, and its surface is covered with mysterious runes, emitting a faint spiritual light. It is of great help to the cultivation of immortals, and can purify impurities in the body, enhance the purity of spiritual power, and improve the understanding of immortals, helping them to better comprehend the law.

The last one was the Hong family. The head of the Hong family came forward with all the family members to congratulate and present gifts: "Brother Fan, congratulations on the Purple Mansion celebration. Our Hong family presents the Five Elements Jade as a token of our appreciation."

This Five Elements Jade is a treasure formed by the condensation of the five elements of spiritual energy between heaven and earth. It was born at the intersection of the mysterious Five Elements Spiritual Veins, where the power of the five elements blends with each other to form a unique spiritual field. The Five Elements Jade was born in such an environment, absorbing the essence of the power of the five elements, and has powerful spiritual power and magical effects.

The Five Elements Jade can automatically adjust and replenish the spiritual power in the bodies of immortal cultivators according to their five elements attributes, making their cultivation smoother.

For a while.

There was a lot of activity in front of the Fu family’s house.

at the same time.

Three sword rainbows in the sky stopped thirty miles away from the Yunshan County fiefdom. Patriarch Nangong looked at the cultivators who were rushing to the Fu family's fiefdom in an endless stream. It would be a lie to say that he was not envious.

Think back to the beginning.

Huainan Prefecture is still led by the Nangong, Shi and Gongsun families, three eighth-rank old-established families.

But now.

The Gongsun family has been completely wiped out by the Fu family.

Although the losses suffered by their Nangong family in the Canglan Secret Realm had eased over the years, they had been far surpassed by later generations. They thought that Shangguan Li's sudden rise was a rare sight in a century, but they never expected that the rise of the Fu family was even more powerful and firmly suppressed the Shangguan family.

The present-day Huainan Prefecture.

The Fu family is undoubtedly the number one family.

The second is the Shangguan family.

These old-fashioned eighth-grade families could only be relegated to the third echelon.

Time has changed.

The second elder of the Nangong family behind him reminded quietly:
"Master, I received a message that the Cui family, who came to participate in the celebration today, also brought several young girls with them, in order to form an alliance with the Fu family. In addition, I heard that Shou'er, the son of the Fu family master, is already engaged to the Yu family, and the only suitable candidate left is Qing'er. The triplets born to the Fu family mistress are too young and are legitimate. I'm afraid the Fu family will have to wait until they are promoted to the seventh rank before considering forming an alliance with other families."

and so.

Fu Yongqing is undoubtedly a popular commodity.

When the Nangong clan leader heard this, he felt uncomfortable. When did the Nangong family rush to stick to others' cold butts?

"Hey"

Patriarch Nangong sighed deeply in his heart.

Then he said calmly:
"The Cui family has only just been promoted to the eighth rank. No matter what, our Nangong family is an old eighth rank family in Huainan Prefecture. No matter what we choose, the Fu family will definitely not reject us unless they are stupid."

Seeing that the patriarch was still arrogant, Second Elder Nangong wanted to persuade him again. After all, in the video released by the Fu family, Fu Changsheng was able to kill a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator. Unless there were any major changes in the future, it would be no problem for the Fu family to be promoted to the seventh rank.

Once the Fu family is promoted.

It will be difficult for them to climb up this high branch again.

the other side.

Patriarch Cui also brought his people to the vicinity of the Fu family's fiefdom.

Following behind him were several beautiful female cultivators, each with a completely different temperament and their own merits.

Far away.

Patriarch Cui also saw Patriarch Nangong and his two companions. When he saw that Patriarch Nangong had also brought his female relatives with him, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Elder Cui San, who was following behind him, was a little worried:
"Master, the Nangong family is also going to form an alliance with the Fu family. I'm afraid..."

Compare the two.

Naturally, the benefits can be maximized by marrying into an old and established family.

Patriarch Cui subconsciously touched his storage bag and smiled confidently:
"Don't worry, no matter what, I will facilitate the marriage between the two great families of Cui and Fu today."

As long as I can get close to the Fu family.

In the future, maybe their Cui family will also be able to rise with the tide and move up a level. For this reason, he did not hesitate to take out all the treasures in the bottom of the box:

"Let's go, let's get there before the Nangong family."

Shangguan family, in the meeting hall.

The old patriarch Shangguan, who had already abdicated, now appeared in the meeting hall, and the original old man was also standing behind him.

The old clan leader Shangguan said earnestly to Shangguan Li, who was at the head of the group:
"Li'er, although there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, the entire Great Zhou has a vast territory. Our Huainan Prefecture has finally gained a Purple Mansion. If we can join forces with the Fu family, our Shangguan family will be promoted to the seventh rank in the future. Moreover, the entire Huainan Prefecture family is now rushing to establish a relationship with the Fu family, which shows that the Fu family is a virtuous family."

"Besides"

"Our Shangguan family and the Fu family are already related by marriage. Once Hongyu returns, she will marry into the Fu family. We must not let the Shangguan family miss this opportunity because of a momentary anger."

Obviously.

The old clan leader Shangguan had also heard about Shangguan Li being intercepted in the Yunou tribe last time. He also presumably heard about Shangguan Li's revengeful behavior, so he recruited all the clan members he could, just to prevent Shangguan Li from really fighting with the Fu family.

Look at the current situation.

The best that the Shangguan family can do is to suffer losses on both sides.

This is a matter of great harm and no benefit.

It is absolutely not allowed.

Seeing that he had said a lot of things but his son didn't reply, the old patriarch Shangguan gritted his teeth and said:

"Li'er, do you want me to kneel down and beg you? Don't forget what you promised me when I agreed to abdicate to you!!"

talking.

He gave a hidden look to the elderly people behind him.

The old men bowed down one after another:

"Master, please think twice!"

In front of Fujiashan Gate.

Fu Yongfan glanced at the celebration time and saw that it was almost time, but the three eighth-grade families had not yet arrived. He was thinking about contacting them, but he saw that the three families had come together:

"Welcome the three clan leaders."

Fu Yongfan hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects. The gifts from the three eighth-rank families were presented to Fu Changsheng in person. Fu Yongfan was just leading the way, but he was stunned when he saw that the person who came to celebrate from the Shangguan family was not Shangguan Li, but the old patriarch of the Shangguan family.

After the guests are seated.

Only then did Fu Yongfan send a message to Fu Changsheng.

Not long after, a melodious fairy music suddenly sounded.

Everyone turned their eyes to the depths of the Fu family.

I saw a figure slowly walking towards me in the colorful glow.

Fu Changsheng was wearing a gorgeous purple robe with mysterious runes embroidered on it. These runes flickered with a faint light and swayed gently with his steps. His face was handsome and calm, and his eyes were deep and sharp, as if they contained endless wisdom and power. His hair was black and shiny, tied into a high bun with a jade hairpin inserted in it. The jade hairpin emitted a soft light, reflecting the aura on his body.

Behind Fu Changsheng followed his children, including his adopted sons. They all had extraordinary temperaments, dressed neatly, held spiritual weapons, and their eyes revealed awe and loyalty to Fu Changsheng. They surrounded Fu Changsheng like stars surrounding the moon, showing the majesty and momentum of the Fu family.

Fu Changsheng's footsteps were light and steady, and every step seemed to be in the void, without making any sound. He exuded a powerful aura, which made people feel awe involuntarily. As he gradually approached, everyone felt a strong spiritual power fluctuation, which spread out in all directions like a surging tide, causing everyone present to tremble slightly.

When Fu Changsheng walked in front of the crowd, he raised his head slightly, glanced at everyone present, and saluted everyone, saying: "Today, I am grateful to all my relatives, friends, and noble families for gathering here to celebrate my Purple Mansion Festival. Fu Changsheng would like to thank you all."

His voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the square in front of the Fu family. The voice contained a powerful spiritual power that made people feel excited. Everyone returned the greetings and said, "Congratulations to Patriarch Fu for his success in the Purple Mansion. He will surely reach a higher level in the future and lead the Fu family to a more glorious future."

Fu Changsheng responded modestly.

Before the celebration begins.

You must first offer sacrifices to your ancestors.

Fu Changsheng, surrounded by the crowd, slowly walked into the Fu family ancestral temple. Inside the ancestral temple, the atmosphere was solemn and filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere. Huge stone pillars stood on both sides, engraved with the heroic deeds and legendary experiences of the ancestors of the Fu family.

Fu Changsheng held incense in both hands and walked to the altar:
"Ancestors, today, your grandson, Fu Changsheng, has been blessed by your ancestors and has achieved great success in Zifu. Looking back on the past, the Fu family has gone through many ups and downs, and our ancestors overcame all difficulties to create today's glory. Your grandson knows that today's achievements are all due to the blessings of your ancestors."

His voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the ancestral temple, and every word seemed to carry endless affection and respect.

"Now, the Fu family still needs to keep moving forward in this ever-changing world of cultivation. My grandson will definitely uphold the aspirations of our ancestors, protect the honor of the Fu family, and lead the people to a more glorious future. I hope that the spirits of our ancestors in heaven will continue to protect the Fu family and ensure that the people are safe and successful in their cultivation."

After saying this, Fu Changsheng kowtowed deeply, his forehead touching the ground. His movements were solemn and pious, as if he was passing on his beliefs and determination to his ancestors.

After the sacrifice, Fu Changsheng slowly stood up and turned to face everyone. He showed a gratified smile on his face and said, "Today's celebration is also the time for the Fu family to reunite. All the relatives, friends, and noble families have come from far and wide to witness this moment together. Fu Changsheng is grateful. Now, I declare that the banquet begins!"

As Fu Changsheng finished speaking, melodious music sounded again. The servants of the Fu family shuttled among the crowd and served exquisite dishes to the table. These dishes were carefully prepared by the Fu family, using the most precious ingredients and carefully cooked by famous chefs, exuding an alluring aroma.

The table was filled with delicacies, including a thick soup made from spiritual meat. The soup was rich and emitting a faint fluctuation of spiritual power. Taking a sip, one could feel the spiritual power flowing through the body. There was a platter made of fairy fruits. The fairy fruits were bright in color and emitting a charming luster. Taking a bite, the sweet juice spread in the mouth, leaving people with an endless aftertaste. There was also fine wine made from spiritual herbs. The wine was fragrant and mellow in the mouth, but it also brought an impact of spiritual power that refreshed people.

Everyone took their seats and began to enjoy the sumptuous banquet. During the banquet, there was constant laughter and joy. Everyone raised their glasses and drank, exchanging their cultivation experiences and family affairs. The patriarchs of the Wu and Liu families sat together, tasting the food while praising, "The Fu family's celebration this time is really luxurious, and the taste of these dishes is also unique."

"Yes, the Fu family is now thriving, and Fu Changsheng has achieved great success in the Purple Mansion. His future achievements are limitless. We, the aristocratic families, must also follow the pace of the Fu family closely in order to gain a foothold in this world of cultivating immortals." Another clan leader echoed.

The young disciples sat together, discussing their respective cultivation experiences and adventures.

The banquet is halfway through.

Suddenly.

A terrifying pressure came rushing towards us from the sky.

Everyone was stunned and stood up.

The small town of Qianling Mountain near the entrance to the Bloody Forbidden Land.

Ever since the Yunlong Market was destroyed by the beast tide, the monks heading to the forbidden area settled here. As time passed, this place developed into a small town.

Most of the people living in the town are monks.

However, there are also many mortals living here to serve the monks.

however.

Different from the past.

at this time.

The villages and towns were shrouded in a dark cloud.

But I saw that more than a dozen families living in the alleys of ordinary people had hung white flags. The white flags swayed gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound.

In front of every household there is a simple mourning hall, inside which are placed the portraits of the deceased and offerings. The faint candlelight flickers in the darkness, reflecting the grief-stricken faces of the people around them.

Xu Sanhan, an old man in the alley, frowned so hard that it looked like he could pinch a fly to death. His eyes revealed deep worry and confusion.

Recently, the elderly in the town have died quietly in their sleep, very peacefully, without any pain. However, the death of more than a dozen elderly people in a row is really too strange.

They also asked the mayor to invite a Taoist priest, thinking that the Taoist priest would be able to find out the truth with his extraordinary abilities. However, after some investigation, the Taoist priest also had no clue, which made Xu Sanhan feel more and more uneasy.

Xu Sanhan slowly turned around and walked into his yard with heavy steps. He stood in the middle of the yard, raised his head slightly, looked at the shabby eaves, and was silent for a long time. Then, he gathered all his children together, his eyes revealing a hint of firmness and determination. After a moment of silence, he slowly said:

"Pack up your belongings. I'm afraid we can't stay in this town any longer. After breakfast, we'll go to Tianlang City to seek refuge with your old aunt. We'll make plans after the things in the town are over."

"Father, what about the tofu shop we worked so hard to run?" the son said unwillingly, "If we don't open for a long time, all the old customers will leave. Otherwise, father, you take Fang'er and the others away. Anyway, the people who died mysteriously in this town are all elderly people. I... I'd better stay."

"Why are you trying to keep them?" Xu Sanhan's voice suddenly rose, his eyes revealing a hint of unquestionable majesty, "Listen to me, clean up now! You've already lost your life, what's the point of running a shop!"

There are many people in the town who have the same idea as Xu Sanhan.

They were also troubled by this series of bizarre deaths, and their hearts were filled with fear and anxiety. For the safety of their families, they chose to leave this once familiar but now strange town.

However, after Xu Sanhan and his family left the town of Qianling Mountain, they always felt something was wrong. Along the way, he kept looking back involuntarily, as if something was following them closely from behind. That inexplicable feeling of uneasiness, like a dark cloud, always hung over his heart and could not be shaken off.
