Chapter 144: Demon Cave Erupts, Gu Yuan Dan Obtained, Enthronement Ceremony

Tianlan Secret Realm? !
Fu Changsheng remembered that when he attacked the Tianlong tribe, the intelligence mentioned that the reason why Shangguan Hui had strongly supported the Zhang family was that he wanted the Zhang family to enter the Tianlan Secret Realm to help him seize a certain treasure.

The Plum Blossom Female Cultivator also spoke quietly:

“This is indeed a bit strange. According to the practice in previous years, before the Tianlan Secret Realm is opened, the major families in Huainan Prefecture need to hold a family competition to determine the number of people who can enter the secret realm. It should have been leaked by now, and preparations for the family competition should have begun.”

All those present were foundation-building cultivators.

Everyone also assumed that most of them came from the top ten families, and did not hide it.

The six-year-old girl’s voice in the corner sounded again:

“I heard that Shangguan Hongyu of the Shangguan family in Anyang County discovered a demon cave in Qili Mountain not long ago. Once the matter was reported, not only the Zhenshi Division but also the three eighth-grade noble families were alarmed and rushed to Qili Mountain overnight. It is estimated that they will have to wait until the three eighth-grade noble families have dealt with the demon cave before they can have time to hold the noble family competition.”

I heard the word “devil’s cave”.

Everyone present straightened up immediately.

The fox monk said worriedly:
“The last time a demon appeared in our Great Zhou was ten thousand years ago. At that time, the demons were rampant and the people were living in misery. If it weren’t for the intervention of the great master, I’m afraid the Great Zhou cultivation world would have been ruled by the demons long ago. After ten thousand years, the demons reappeared. This is not a good sign, and they appeared in our Huainan Prefecture.”

Fu Changsheng remembered that the demon cave broke out two years later.

He never thought that Hongyu had discovered the trace of the magic cave in advance. He was thinking of finding a reason to inform Shangguan Feng of this information.

Since the devil’s cave has been discovered in advance, and the three eighth-grade families and the World Suppression Bureau have joined forces, it is estimated that the monsters in the devil’s cave will be wiped out soon, and no conscription order will be issued.

Everyone then exchanged other information.

Fu Changsheng sat and listened for a while, then felt that the meeting was about to end, so he stood up and left quietly. When he reached an empty corner, he changed back into his original crescent-colored robe and walked towards the Wanling Tower of the Wanning Chamber of Commerce on the main street.

The Tower of All Souls stands at the most eye-catching position on the main street.

There are five floors in total.

The shopkeeper on the first floor saw that Fu Changsheng was a foundation-building cultivator and a stranger, so he immediately came out from the counter with a smile:
“Sir, the first and second floors are filled with spiritual objects for refining Qi, and the third and fourth floors are filled with second-level spiritual materials, magical instruments, and elixirs. May I ask what you need?”

“I want to find an alchemist to make a furnace of second-grade middle-grade elixir.”

Fu Changsheng whispered the name of Guyuan Dan.

Shopkeeper Wan smiled and nodded:
“No problem, fellow Taoist, let’s go up to the fifth floor to talk.”

The door to the fifth floor opened, and a wave of hot air hit my face, revealing a mysterious world inside. The entire fifth floor was divided into two parts, the weapon refining room and the alchemy room.

There is a small private room on the left and right sides.

Shopkeeper Wan led the guests into a small private room on the right. Inside, an old Taoist priest with a red beard was twirling his beard and reading an ancient book with great interest. Shopkeeper Wan said with a smile:
“Elder Qin, this guest wants to refine a furnace of Gu Yuan Dan.”

Having said that, he walked out.

Elder Qin raised his eyes and glanced at Fu Changsheng:
“How many materials have you prepared?”

“One serving”

“One copy?!”

Elder Qin put down the book in his hand.

Whether it is alchemy or talisman making.

No one dares to guarantee a 100% success rate. If one wants to refine a pill with just one ingredient, then a master alchemist must be hired, and this person must be very proficient in making the Guyuan Pill.

Elder Qin frowned and said:

“Sir, according to the rules, we have to first verify the grade of the medicinal materials you provide before we can negotiate a price for you.”

“Of course”

Fu Changsheng slapped his storage bag, a bright light flashed, and two boxes floated towards Elder Qin.

Elder Qin opened the box and glanced at the ancient spiritual grass and colorful flowers inside. His eyes lit up slightly. The medicinal properties of the two herbs were well preserved and they were of top quality. Even though he had been testing medicine for many years, they were extremely rare. With such raw materials, an alchemist with a success rate of 70% to 80% would be able to make a Guyuan Pill in nine out of ten cases.

Elder Qin took a look and sealed the box again to prevent the medicinal properties of the herbs from being lost.

Immediately he said:
“Sir, according to the rules, if you hand in a set of materials and it turns into a pill, we can only give you three Guyuan Pills. In addition, you need to pay an extra 300 spirit stones to the alchemist. However, considering the quality of the raw materials you provided is not bad, we can give you one more Guyuan Pill. In addition, you don’t need to pay the alchemist’s 300 spirit stones for hard work. Do you think you can accept it?”

Generally speaking.

If you want to ask an alchemist to perform a task, you usually have to prepare two or three sets of materials, and you also have to pay the alchemist an additional fee.

A full furnace of Guyuan Dan contains ten pills.

However, there are very few second-level alchemists who can reach full alchemy skills.

Three Guyuan Pills were what he expected.

I didn’t expect there was one more. I was delighted and said,
“Then I’ll have to trouble Elder Qin.”

Elder Qin flipped his hand and took out a piece of letter. He quickly wrote a few spells on it. The spiritual light on the letter disappeared and floated towards Fu Changsheng:

“Sir, take this letter and come back in two days to get the pills.”

talking.

He picked up the book on the table again and continued to comprehend.

Fu Changsheng bowed, stood up and left. When he reached the stairs, he was surprised to find Manager Wan still waiting there.

Not to mention anything else.

The service attitude of the Wanning Chamber of Commerce is neither superior nor servile, but it makes people feel the service. This is something that their Fu family shop is worth learning.

Shopkeeper Wan took the man to the backyard on the first floor, sat him down, and said with a smile:
“Sir, besides refining elixirs, do you have any other needs?”

Come this time.

He also needs to purchase the remaining materials needed to build the House of Earth and Fire.

before this.

He had asked Master Yu to write the list.

Shopkeeper Wan took a quick look and glanced at Fu Changsheng in surprise, but he didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, he quickly quoted a price:

“Sir, the materials you need are easy to find, except for this second-grade medium-quality warm stone, which is 20% more expensive than the ordinary second-grade low-quality spiritual materials. This warm stone is a specialty of the Snow Ridge Mountains, and the Snow Ridge Mountains are the home of the second-grade iron-armed apes. To obtain this item, the cultivators have to risk their lives. Therefore, the total price of the materials on the list is 3,000 spiritual stones after rounding off. Sir, do you think this price is acceptable?”

Although the Fu family also opened a shop, he was not in charge of the shop’s affairs, so he was not very clear about the prices of materials.

So before going out.

He specifically asked Mei Zhen to estimate the price for him. Mei Zhen would check the cash flow books of the two stores in Nanyang Market every month, and she knew the details very well. Her estimate was pretty close to what Manager Wan had given her.

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly.

One shot storage bag.

He took out the fire turtle shell and demon pill from his body and asked Manager Wan to estimate the price. The total price was almost the same as the list of materials he needed.

After making up the difference.

The familiar mechanical voice immediately rang in my mind:
“Ding, you have purchased materials for the construction of the Earth Fire House for the clan, and you have obtained 300 contribution points.”

Followed by.

The contribution value on the panel instantly soared to one thousand five hundred and eighty.

Looking at the contribution value rising again, Fu Changsheng was delighted.

Two days later.

After retrieving four Guyuan Pills from the Wanning Chamber of Commerce, he returned with Shangguan Feng.

just.

He has not yet arrived in Anyang County.

As for the Fu family being canonized as a quasi-ninth-rank family, the Zhenshi Division had already posted a congratulatory notice throughout the Huainan Prefecture. In an instant, the other three major Qi-training families in Anyang County were in turmoil.

Leimangshan, Lei family.

The only remaining elder who was at the ninth level of Qi training and also the new head of the Lei family was stunned for a long time after hearing this, his face full of disbelief.

Eleven years ago.

The Fu family was still a loser, and their Lei family was the leader of the five major Qi training families in Anyang County, but in a blink of an eye, the position was completely reversed.

Originally, their Lei family had the greatest hope of being canonized.

to this end.

Their ancestors had been planning this for a hundred years.

But everything began to change because the Fu family unexpectedly won the championship in the Wanguiyuan Family Competition. For this reason, their ancestor died in Qingcheng Mountain, and the main medicine for foundation building in Qingcheng Mountain probably fell into Fu Changsheng’s hands. It was because of this that the other party was able to build the foundation.

This immense wealth should have belonged to their Lei family, but was taken away by the Fu family in one day!
How can people be content!

Chief Thunder walked quickly back and forth in the secret room.

Finally, he stopped and looked at the pitch-black box on the table that was covered with layers of restrictions, and he let out a long sigh.

The Fu family has risen.

The Lei family is now just struggling to survive and does not even have the qualifications to compete with others. Now, the only way for them to survive is to pay tribute to this item to the Fu family.

A line of tears of regret rolled down.

The Thunder Clan leader sobbed:

“My ancestors, your descendants are unfilial and now even the ancestral things have to be given away!”

Wu family.

Patriarch Wu was feeling a little restless in the meeting hall. He couldn’t get in touch with his cousin, the Lei family was inexplicably secluded, and the Fu family was canonized as a quasi-ninth-rank family. He couldn’t discuss these important matters with his cousin.

Chief Wu, who always followed Chief Lei’s lead, was stunned for a moment.

Some are at a loss.

He glanced at the elders on both sides, slapped the table, and said impatiently:
“You two are both speechless. The Fu family will hold a ceremony to confer the title of Emperor the title of Emperor the day after tomorrow. You all need to think carefully about what gift to give so that the Fu family will not regard our Wu family as a thorn in their side.”

The elders present looked at each other.

The Great Elder coughed lightly and said:

“Patriarch, our Wu family and the Fu family have not had any disputes over the years. We can just send a decent gift when the time comes. There is no need for the Fu family to embarrass us, right?”

The truth is this.

But Chief Wu felt a little guilty.

After all, when the noble families competed that year, he and his cousin chose Wanguiyuan as the venue, and allowed the Zhang family, whose strength was obviously far superior to that of the Fu family at the time, to enter the same area.

It is obvious that he wants the Zhang family to destroy the Fu family.

If the Fu family were to pursue this old matter, the Wu family would be in big trouble.

and so.

He was thinking that he could use the celebration as an excuse to present a generous gift and try to persuade the Fu family to surrender. If the Fu family calmed down, the matter would be over.

Therefore, this gift is particularly important!

Since Fu Changsheng has already established his foundation, the other party would definitely not be interested in ordinary first-level spiritual objects.

Think before and after.

Chief Wu was so distressed that his flesh twitched and he said:

“Forget it, it seems that I can only offer the treasure.”

Liu family.

Compared with the Lei family and the Wu family, the atmosphere in the Liu family’s meeting hall was even more tense.

Not long ago.

Their Liu family was an envied foundation-building family, and they thought they could soar to the sky with this. However, they never expected that everything would change overnight.

Not only the head of the family was beheaded.

Even the clan mountain was looted.

Under the persuasion of the new head of the family, everyone realized the seriousness of the collusion between the previous head of the family and the Heike clan. A few days after he personally went to the Shangguan family to apologize, news came that the Fu family had been canonized as a noble family.

This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the Liu family!

To know.

When they first took office as clan leader, they almost married Mei Zhen into the Zhang family, and finally extorted 30,000 spirit stones from the Fu family. Now that the Fu family has turned the tables and is settling old scores, their Liu family is in danger!
The elders of the Liu family are all old and are now leaning on crutches, with frowns on their faces.

At first.

If these old guys could be a little tougher and not let Liu Qingyun take the position of the head of the family, then the Liu family and the Fu family would still be aristocratic families. Not only would there not be these bad things, but they would be able to rise with the help of the Fu family’s luck.

Also.

Another point.

No one said it out loud.

It now seems that the death of the previous clan leader was most likely caused by Fu Changsheng.

When he first took office as the clan leader and established his foundation, he couldn’t wait to attack the Fu family. Now the other party obviously spared the lives of these old guys for Mei Zhen’s sake, which can be considered a mercy outside the law.

After all, the winner takes all, there is nothing much to say about it.

The Great Elder sighed and said:

“Master, the day after tomorrow will be the Fu family’s enthronement ceremony. Do you think we should draw up a set of rules?”

Everyone looked up at Liu Qingmin who was sitting at the head of the table.

Although Meizhen’s life experience has not been revealed, most of the old guys in the clan probably know something about it. Now, Meizhen is the only one the Liu family can rely on.

Liu Qingmin knocked on the table:

“With our current status and position, what rules can we draw up when we face the Fu family? When we arrive at the Fu family the day after tomorrow, we will just follow Mei Zhen’s instructions.”

This statement came out.

Everyone looked at each other.

The implication is that the Liu family will completely become a vassal of the Fu family? !
in those days.

Their ancestors started out as horse slaves of the Fu family, and they managed to get rid of this status with great difficulty. Now, their generation has not only failed to carry forward the Liu family’s prosperity, but has gone in the opposite direction.

This makes them wonder how they will face their ancestors after their death.

Everyone sighed.

But now.

There is no other choice for the Liu family.

Fu family.

Runzhi had been doing business in Nanyang market for many years. She was the first to receive the news that the Fu family was canonized as a noble family. At that time, she did not believe it and thought that the person who sent her the message to congratulate her was joking with her.

after all.

not long ago.

The head of the family had just come out of seclusion, and there was no mention of a breakthrough to the foundation-building stage at that time. How come he was suddenly canonized as a noble family?

But the congratulations that came one after another proved that this was true.

A look of ecstasy suddenly appeared on Runzhi’s face.

Back then, their Liu family was wiped out overnight by Li Wentai. If the head of the family had not appeared at the critical moment, she would have become a dead soul under Li Wentai’s sword, let alone revenge.

these years.

Because her weapon-refining skills continued to improve.

Especially after she was able to refine a quasi-second-level magical weapon, many forces extended olive branches to her, trying to recruit her, but she flatly rejected them all.

Even the elder of the ninth-rank family, Ping Xingyang, came in person to lobby:
“My dear Liu, you have already contributed to the Fu family for eleven years and have repaid all the favors. If you come to us, as long as you are promoted to a second-level weapon refiner within ten years, we will immediately give you a foundation-building pill. Isn’t the purpose of our lives as cultivators to go further in cultivation?!”

When I heard about the Foundation Establishment Pill, it would be a lie to say I wasn’t excited.

But without the head of the family, she wouldn’t be where she is now, so she refused without even thinking.

It seems now.

What a wise decision she made!

The head of the family has already established his foundation, and the Fu family has been canonized as a noble family, so there is a chance to exchange foundation-building pills from the imperial court. In other words, as long as she works hard enough, she will also have the opportunity to establish her foundation!

After hearing the news, Aunt Liu’s smile never faded. She ran into the backyard like a gust of wind, only to see her mistress still watering the silver star fruit tree in the yard with a calm expression:

“Oh, Madam, it’s already this late, and you’re still busy here. The Patriarch has established his foundation! Our Fu family has been promoted to an aristocratic family. This is great news. Madam, we have to get started right away. The Patriarch didn’t have time to hold a foundation-building ceremony when he established his foundation. Now it should be held together with the enthronement ceremony, which will be even more grand.”

the end.

Nanny Liu glanced around.

See everyone around.

He lowered his voice and said:
“Madam, you have a sharp eye. So many people came to propose marriage, but you didn’t like any of them. You had to marry the head of the family. I didn’t understand it at that time. Now it seems that Madam is really far-sighted. Fortunately, you didn’t listen to my slander. I heard that Wu Xunv, who later married the second son of the Shangguan family, lived a life of walking on thin ice in the Shangguan family.”

Nanny Liu moved a little closer.

In a quieter voice:
“Madam, you are now the second in command in the Fu family, and the Liu family is firmly under your control. Let’s start with you.”

“Mommy, be careful what you say!”

Liu Meizhen’s voice was neither loud nor soft, but she had an aura that she had never shown to outsiders. It frightened Aunt Liu, who had served her for decades, so much that she shuddered, smiled awkwardly, and dared not say anything more.

at this time.

Fan Ge’er ran into the yard with a small schoolbag on his back. When he arrived at the yard, he subconsciously straightened his clothes and bowed like a little adult, saying:
“Mother, I heard news in the academy that my father has become a foundation-building cultivator and our Fu family has been canonized as an aristocratic family. Is it true?”

“Of course it’s true!”

Liu Meizhen took off Fan Ge’er’s schoolbag with a smile, handed it to Aunt Liu, and looked at Fan Ge’er with a smile on her face.

Canonized as a noble family.

This is the first step taken by the Fu family.

She had planned much more than that.

Moon Lake.

Chen Dazhu, who was taking care of Lingtian, heard the good news from the clan.

I was stunned for a while.

Then he raised his right hand and slapped himself:

“My dear, if the old lady had listened to me and left the Fu family, then this overwhelming wealth would not have fallen into the hands of my family!”

The Fu family was canonized as a noble family.

As retainers, they would naturally benefit as well. Perhaps their daughter Yulian could rely on the Fu family to not only cure her illness, but also make further progress and break through to the foundation-building stage!
