Family Rise by Daily Intelligence-Chapter 312 - 181: Alliance of Three Clans, Distribution of Interests, Three Flowers Cyan Prison Array
As the Chief Steward, Fu Changren knew the clan members’ Contribution Points very clearly, so after pondering for a moment, he said:
"How about setting the Contribution Points required to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill at ten thousand?"
Ten thousand is an amount that is not too high to deter people, nor too low; if one does not have Tier Two skills over their shoulders, accumulating ten thousand Contribution Points would be as hard as climbing to the sky. In some sense, this is prepared for clan members with potential.
The crowd exchanged looks.
Finally, the decision was made without objections.
Seeing this, Fu Changren brought up another matter:
"Patriarch, during your seclusion, the Ninth-Grade Noble Family Archway granted by the Court has already been placed at the mountain gate. We’re just waiting for you to unveil it. The day after tomorrow at noon is an auspicious occasion, Patriarch, do you think we could choose that day for the unveiling?"
The Noble Family Archway granted by the Court is a symbol of identity.
Of course.
There is also the fact that this Noble Family Archway itself is a Tier Three Spiritual Artifact, containing the might of the Court, enough to deter petty evil spirits and scoundrels.
"Hmm, then let’s choose the day after tomorrow."
Fu Changsheng nodded slightly.
This time, it was rare for all the elders to gather; the crowd discussed various topics for a long time before dispersing, but Fu Changsheng kept Runzhi and Fu Changli behind.
Liu Runzhi and Fu Changli exchanged a glance.
In their eyes was an expression of excitement and anticipation. The Patriarch specifically announced the criteria for exchanging Foundation Establishment Pills and left them behind, who happen to meet the Foundation Establishment conditions. Could it be that there are still Foundation Establishment Pills in the clan?
Thinking of this,
Their breathing became rapid.
If they could establish their Foundation,
they would gain a hundred extra years of lifespan, something countless cultivators at the bottom dream of.
They looked eagerly at Fu Changsheng, hoping he would speak quickly, yet they were vaguely anxious.
But Fu Changsheng did not keep them in suspense and directly said:
"Previously, Molan and I went out and fortunately obtained several Foundation Establishment Pills. As you have seen, one of them has already been given to Meizhen. I plan to distribute the remaining two to you both. Your Contribution Points in the clan have also reached ten thousand over the years, and after the unveiling the day after tomorrow, there’s no need for you to leave the clan. Just choose to enter seclusion here. Hopefully, you can break through directly to the Foundation Establishment Stage."
Upon hearing this,
Fu Changli reacted quickly, immediately standing up from his seat, clasping his fists:
"Thank you, Patriarch, for the reward. Changli will certainly live up to the Patriarch’s expectations."
Fu Changli’s words pulled Liu Runzhi back from immense joy. Unlike Fu Changli, she joined the Fu Family halfway, and although she worked diligently over the years, she did not share the Fu family’s blood. She never imagined the Patriarch would actually bestow such an important Foundation Establishment Pill upon her.
All at once,
her eyes brimmed with tears of emotion.
At this moment, 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
her acknowledgement and loyalty to the Patriarch and the Fu Family came from deep within her heart, rather than mere gratitude and a search for a place of refuge at the start.
Liu Runzhi bowed deeply to the ground.
At this moment.
That familiar mechanical voice echoed in Fu Changsheng’s mind once more:
"Ding."
"Liu Runzhi has surrendered completely to you and the Fu Family, gaining thirty Clan Contribution Points."
Immediately after,
the Contribution Points on the panel leaped instantly from one hundred to one hundred thirty.
On the day after tomorrow,
at the auspicious time.
Fu Changsheng led the crowd, first opening the Ancestral Hall to conduct the rituals and then heading all the way to the mountain gate.
At the mountain gate stood an archway towering sixty feet high.
The entire archway was shrouded in red cloth.
Yet the supreme might contained within it was unmistakable.
Standing beneath the archway,
it felt like truly meeting a monarch; a sense of awe naturally arose.
As Fu Changren recited the sacrificial text and concluded it with a chant,
Fu Changsheng stepped forward and personally unveiled the red cloth.
Under the gaze of everyone,
an antique and solemn Ninth-Grade Noble Family Archway appeared right before their eyes.
The entire archway was meticulously carved from fine Hanling White Jade, with dragons and phoenixes engraved on the plaque, containing the might of the imperial family. Two stone lions stood guard on both sides of the archway, vividly lifelike, as if ready to leap out at any moment.
With a thought from Fu Changsheng,
the Ninth-Grade Noble Family Jade Seal emerged, suspended in the air.
As he cast a Daoist Technique into the Jade Seal,
Buzz!
A spirit light from the Jade Seal descended into the archway, causing it to tremble slightly. Then, with a boom, it radiated a boundless brilliance, its color identical to the crimson of the Ninth-Grade Noble Family Jade Seal, enveloping the entire Luofeng Mountain and Niushou Mountain in a shroud of red, amidst swirling clouds.
Fu Changli pointed to the sky and exclaimed,
"Look, could that be the shadow of a dragon?"
Everyone looked up,
and indeed, above their Clan Mountain,
a crimson Celestial Dragon could be faintly seen.
At this moment,
the Fu Family truly entered the ranks of the Ninth-Grade Noble Families.
The unveiling ceremony today drew every clan member from within the fief, with many more gathering here. After the unveiling, Fu Changren began lecturing the younger generation on the family’s history. Firstly, to let descendants know how hard it was for the Fu Family to reach this day; secondly, to inspire future efforts; and thirdly, to unify the clan.
Fu Changsheng only stood for a while before quietly withdrawing.
Over these two days,
he had specially reviewed the plan submitted by Fu Yongshang regarding the establishment of the Marketplace and was very satisfied.
However,
once the Marketplace is established,
it would be a fool’s dream to rely solely on the Fu Family’s strength to stabilize it. Therefore, he had to pay a visit to the Shangguan Family, to personally persuade Shangguan Feng.
From Nanyang County to Anyang County, with his Late Stage of Foundation Establishment strength, he could reach there in less than half an hour at full speed.
