Family Rise by Daily Intelligence-Chapter 448 - 226: Natural and Man-Made Disasters, Crucial Intelligence, Noble Family in Peril
The family Elder Council is urgently convened.
Upon hearing Brother Fan’s account of insect eggs appearing in the Spirit Field, the others were taken aback, as this was an unprecedented occurrence in the family’s history.
Fu Changli hesitated and said:
"If hundreds of acres of spirit plants are destroyed, it would be such a pity. Why don’t we first consult other Noble Families to see if they have experienced similar situations, and if they have effective solutions, it would be ideal."
"Fourth Aunt, these black insect eggs appeared almost overnight and spread so quickly that I’m afraid if we don’t eliminate them in time, it could endanger not just the Spirit Field. If they spread to the Spirit Vein, the situation could become uncontrollable!"
Upon these words,
everyone’s expression changed.
Fu Changli blinked and said:
"Brother Fan, this... this is just a pest issue in the Spirit Field, it shouldn’t be that alarming, right?"
The opinions varied.
Seeing this, Fu Molan spoke up:
"A few days ago, the Patriarch sent a Communication Jade Talisman saying he could exit closed-door training at any time. Since opinions differ, why not directly consult the Patriarch? What does everyone think?"
Thinking about it,
the Patriarch has been in seclusion for seven years.
Moreover, Liuu Meizhen, who was originally in charge, is also in seclusion, and with the impending beast tide, the family needs a high-authority figure to manage the affairs.
Though Brother Fan is the Chief Steward,
his cultivation is only at the Qi Refining Stage, so it’s hard for him to command authority in front of a group of Foundation Establishment Elders.
Upon hearing this, Fu Changli immediately nodded and said:
"I agree."
The group agreed unanimously.
Brother Fan nodded slightly and said:
"In that case, I will contact Father now."
Saying this,
he flipped his right hand, and a Communication Jade Talisman fell into his palm. He injected a Technique into it, and with a buzz, the jade talisman glowed faintly white.
.....
Inside the Patriarch’s Mansion Secret Chamber.
Fu Changsheng emerged from the Training Room, successfully performing sacrificial refinement on a Human Puppet, and was adapting to the puppet’s body when his Sea of Divine Sense was suddenly filled with a series of familiar mechanical notifications:
"Ding"
"Your clansman Runzhi successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, earning two hundred Clan Contribution Points."
"Your wife successfully conquered Yang Family in Taiyun County and invited a group of Talisman Array Masters, adding tens of thousands of miners, earning three hundred Clan Contribution Points."
"Your wife adopted Fu Yongyi as your two foster son and successfully formed a marriage alliance with the Hee Family, acquiring their Thousand Sun Stone Vein at ten percent of the cost, earning five hundred Clan Contribution Points."
"Your daughter-in-law Jade Lotus has successfully broken through to Foundation Establishment, earning one hundred Clan Contribution Points."
"Your foster son Fu Yongyi has successfully broken through to Foundation Establishment, earning one hundred Clan Contribution Points."
"....."
The mechanical notifications continued for quite a while.
When the last notification ended,
the clan interface showed Contribution Points climbing back up to one thousand eight hundred ninety.
Fu Changsheng’s eyes lit up with joy.
At this moment,
an urgent buzzing sound came from his waist.
The Communication Jade Talisman on him suddenly lit up.
A Technique was infused.
Then Brother Fan’s voice came through:
"Father, a large number of strange insect eggs have appeared overnight in all family Spirit Fields. Please advise on how to handle this."
Strange insect eggs have appeared?!
Fu Changsheng frowned slightly, evidently recognizing this as a sign of the beast tide.
This time, during his closed-door training,
he successfully cultivated the "Great Derivation Technique" to the second layer and refined a Human Puppet Avatar. He originally planned to continue training the "Smoke Mist Illusion" Spirit Technique.
But given the current situation, there was clearly no more time.
Fu Changsheng’s gaze fell on the Human Puppet sitting opposite him. The puppet seemed to sense something and opened its eyes.
Their minds were connected.
This feeling was most peculiar.
Fu Changsheng patted his storage bag, a flash of Dawn Light appeared, and then a pill bottle floated towards the puppet:
"Stay here in the secret chamber and continue your closed-door training."
The Human Puppet was only at the Peak of Qi Cultivation.
Once he fully mastered this body’s capabilities, he could begin attempting to break through to Foundation Establishment.
A Technique was cast in the secret chamber.
The Array Light Curtain surged.
Fu Changsheng’s body flickered out of the secret chamber, and the array formation behind him sealed up again.
Leaving the Patriarch’s Mansion,
he turned and flew towards the Council Hall.
Upon arriving at the council hall,
everyone hurriedly stood up to welcome him.
Besides Ouyang Fei, still on Qiuya Mountain, and Grandmaster Yu, busy engraving array patterns, as well as Liuu Meizhen who was in seclusion, all the elders in Yunshan County were present.
Currently, in the Fu Clan, Foundation Establishment cultivators not counting the unknown strength of Grandmaster Yu. Including Ouyang Fei, himself, Liuu Meizhen, Fu Molan, Fu Changli, Fu Changlii, Liu Runzhi, Yaoyao, Fu Yongyi, and Jade Lotus, the number of those in Foundation Establishment had reached ten!
The ten Foundation Establishment Pills that Liuu Meizhen had refined earlier in the Canglan Secret Realm.
Except for giving one each to Runzhi, Yaoyao, Fu Yongyi, and Jade Lotus, as well as the Yu Family, Wu Family, and Liuu Family, along with the one he had just given to the Human Puppet, only two Foundation Establishment Pills remained.
After Fu Changsheng took his seat,
Brother Fan immediately presented a white-bottomed box, which opened to reveal a single strange insect egg.
Fu Changsheng swept it with his Divine Sense.
The insect egg contained extremely vibrant life force.
And it seemed to barely conceal its readiness to break out of its chrysalis at any moment.
Such a peculiar egg,
he was seeing for the first time.
Fu Changsheng immediately willed:
"Exchange for information."
Buzz!
The interface trembled.
A surge of yellow light flowed.
Soon after,
lines of text appeared:
[1: The insect egg in your white-bottomed box will hatch in half an hour. This insect is a deadly killer of Spiritual Qi, existing exclusively to devour it.]
[2: Hidden within a cavern at White Bone Mountain is the millennium-old White Bone Spirit Flower, whose essence can aid in refining any anomalous fire ranked beyond the fiftieth on the Anomalous Fire List.]
[3: In the Ten Thousand Mountains, demon beasts have started to assemble. A great number of demon beasts are emerging from various unknown exits of the Blood-colored Forbidden Area, these blood-colored demon beasts possess human-equivalent intelligence, and have begun occupying hills and training the gathered low-tier demon beasts as war beasts.]
