Family Rise by Daily Intelligence-Chapter 419 - 216: Treasure Seizing, an Unexpected Gift, and a Huge Reward (Part 3)
To be safe, and also to solidify the false impression that their Fu Family has already bid for the Foundation Establishment Pill, he decided to wait for Shangguan Feng to come out, and then have him escort them to the fief.
Shangguan Feng was already a Half-Step Purple Mansion.
With him around,
even if there were some reckless Tribulation Cultivators, it would be a dead end for them.
Thus the three of them waited for about half an hour more.
The Communication Jade Talisman on Fu Changsheng suddenly lit up, a technique was cast into it, and Shangguan Feng’s voice came through: "Changsheng, let’s meet at the marketplace exit."
It seemed the auction had ended.
Fu Changsheng was a bit curious about what the grand finale treasure was.
At the marketplace entrance.
The four of them left riding on the Cyan Python.
Shangguan Feng sat cross-legged at the front of the Cyan Python, seeing this, many ambushing Tribulation Cultivators beat a retreat and dared not provoke them.
Along the way,
everyone tacitly did not inquire about the auction events.
Firstly, for fear that walls have ears, as they were in the wilderness.
Secondly, although he had a deep relationship with Uncle Feng, the two represented different families, and some matters naturally couldn’t be openly discussed.
Upon reaching the fief,
unexpectedly, Shangguan Feng entered the Fu family’s small estate and after sealing the meeting hall’s array, only then did Shangguan Feng open his storage bag.
Dawn Light flashed.
Instantly, a white-wood patterned box floated towards Fu Changsheng:
"Uncle Feng, what is this?"
"Open it and see." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Fu Changsheng was inexplicably a bit nervous.
A technique was cast in.
The box opened.
Inside were three seeds, exuding strands of death aura, yet carrying a trace of life, the seeds were the size of soybeans, half white, half black:
"Uncle Feng, are these Soul Nourishing Grass seeds?!"
Fu Changsheng did not expect these seeds to have ended up in Shangguan Feng’s hands.
Shangguan Feng nodded slightly:
"Indeed, they are Soul Nourishing Grass seeds. However, as their vitality is halved, they are half-dead. Our Shangguan Family doesn’t have a High-Tier Spirit Plant Cultivator; even if we take these three seeds back, we can’t keep them alive. Have your Fu family’s Spirit Plant Cultivators try; if they can revive them, it would be a great asset to your clan."
Pausing for a moment,
Shangguan Feng quickly transmitted a message:
"The Soul Nourishing Grass is the main ingredient for refining the Soul Nourishing Pill, which is immensely beneficial for breaking through to the Purple Mansion."
After speaking,
he took a sip of tea.
Fu Changsheng was touched:
"Uncle Feng, there’s no need for thanks. If these Soul Nourishing Grass seeds are successfully cultivated, I will definitely send you a portion first."
Shangguan Feng smiled slightly.
It was already difficult for these seeds to survive; to mature them would take hundreds of years.
He worried that he might not see the maturity of the Soul Nourishing Grass.
The two conversed for a while.
Shangguan Feng then bid farewell and left.
As soon as he left,
Fu Changsheng could hardly wait to plant the three Soul Nourishing Grass seeds into the Yellow Stone Medicine Garden. Perhaps others couldn’t revive them, but the soil in the Yellow Stone Medicine Garden was Earth Divine Soil, capable of nurturing even the Fourth-Transformation Cyan Lotus, let alone the Soul Nourishing Grass seeds.
As the seeds entered the soil,
after a while,
the Earth Divine Soil emitted mysterious energies enveloping the three seeds. The death aura of the Soul Nourishing Grass seeds was gradually diminishing, while the vitality was slowly climbing one complementing the other. Though it wouldn’t happen overnight, reviving these three seeds seemed entirely feasible.
Meanwhile,
in Fu Changsheng’s Sea of Divine Sense, that familiar mechanical voice sounded again:
"Ding"
"You have contributed three Soul Nourishing Grass seeds to the clan, earning three hundred Contribution Points"
Following that,
the clan contribution points on the panel instantly changed from eight thousand three hundred to eight thousand five hundred!
The goal of ten thousand was within reach:
"It’s time for secluded cultivation."
Though he hadn’t found an auxiliary spiritual object to refine the Red Lotus Earth Core Fire, his "Great Derivation Technique" could begin training, and moreover, once his Divine Sense training was accomplished, he could start practicing the "Smoke Mist Illusion" spirit technique.
He could even perform sacrificial refinement of the Human Puppet Avatar.
However,
before that,
he had to take care of a few miscellaneous affairs at hand.
Wu and Liuu, having taken residence in the Huike Garden of the Fu family after receiving news that Fu Changsheng wanted to see them, were somewhat puzzled, as they had just parted ways after returning from the marketplace.
Wu Clan Leader speculated:
"Brother Liuu, perhaps the Fu Family plans to return the seventy thousand Spirit Stones to us?"
The Fu Family not only had shops in the Wanning and Flying Dragon Marketplaces but also in the Nanyang Marketplace, which was not even worth mentioning. With just the two aforementioned Marketplaces, they were making a fortune daily.
The Fu Family also occupied the two major fiefs of Yunshan County and Pingshan County.
They held sway over the Hanling River.
With such a fortune, giving out seventy thousand Spirit Stones shouldn’t be a problem.
Liuu Qingmin also nodded slightly:
"Most likely, this is the matter."
Otherwise,
for someone like Fu Changsheng, what urgent business could he have with their Qi Cultivation Small Clan?
The two arrived at the meeting hall.
The hall contained only Fu Changsheng. They sat down cautiously on the edge of their seats, and saw Fu Changsheng cast a technique into the array, with a buzz, layers of light curtains rose instantly in the entire meeting hall.
From the looks of it,
it didn’t seem like they were here to return the Spirit Stones.
Wu Clan Leader’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Fu Family intended to...?
This thought flashed by, only to be dismissed immediately. The reason they approached the Fu Family was because, seeing Fu Changsheng’s takeover of the Fu Family, the Fu Family’s current approach was clear: if you wrong the Fu Family, they’ll definitely not wrong you, and for any benefactors, the Fu Family would repay tenfold.
Fu Changsheng didn’t beat around the bush either.
He opened his storage bag.
Dawn Light flashed.
Instantly, two pill bottles floated towards Wu and Liuu.
Wu and Liuu scanned with their Divine Sense.
They discovered that what the pill bottles contained were the Foundation Establishment Pills they dreamed of.
Excitedly, their bodies trembled.
Wu Clan Leader’s throat moved:
"Fu Clan Leader, these Foundation Establishment Pills are?"
If not for Fu Changsheng’s formidable strength,
they couldn’t help but attempt to seize the Foundation Establishment Pills.
Fu Changsheng stated directly:
"Clan Leaders, after you left, I was fortunate enough to successfully bid for a batch of Foundation Establishment Pills, but they included the seventy thousand Spirit Stones you two provided. If you wish to reclaim the Spirit Stones, give it a few years, and our Fu Family will definitely return them with interest. However, if you..."
