Chapter 148: The mysterious woman reappears, preparations for the construction of the fiefdom, lapis lazuli

The child is already six years old and can start practicing. Fu Changsheng was also curious about the spiritual roots of his three children, so he nodded and said:

“Wait for Brother Fan to come back from the academy, and I will take them to Shengxiantai for testing after dinner.”

She took Rong Ge’er from Mei Zhen and carried him into the room. After she laid him on the bed and covered him with a small blanket, she walked to the silver star tree in the yard and sat down.
“Meizhen, I’ve been in seclusion for the past two years. Thank you for your hard work.”

Liu Meizhen smiled and shook her head, briefly recounting the most important things that had happened in the clan over the past two years:

“Because the clan has been vigorously promoting childbirth in the past two years, the number of children of appropriate age for testing has increased several times. In the past two years, a total of 26 spiritual root cultivators have been detected.”

“also”

“The robes forged from silkworm silk were officially launched in the market two years ago. The response was good. After clearing out the inventory in the warehouse, we made a small profit of several thousand spirit stones.”

“Seeing that customers have responded very well, we originally planned to expand the scale of silkworm breeding, but… Fortunately, I have saved seeds of silkworms, frost rats, cypress fish, etc., and are breeding them on a small scale in Yanyang Mulin. Now we can only start all over again. Cypress fish and silkworms lay a lot of eggs, so it’s not difficult to breed them again, but I have to take my time with frost rats.”

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

Liu Meizhen’s preparations for a rainy day really came in handy.

Fu Changsheng said with relief:

“Meizhen, you are really thoughtful.”

Thinking of the thick household management manual that Meizhen had given him before, he immediately had an idea and said:
“Meizhen, according to the court’s decree, we will have to go to the fiefdom in less than a year. Do you have any ideas or suggestions on the selection of people to go to the fiefdom and the construction of the fiefdom?”

Mention this matter.

Liu Meizhen’s expression became solemn.

He slapped the storage bag, and a flash of light appeared. Then a book as thick as a brick floated towards Fu Changsheng:
“My dear husband, the book records my ideas for the construction of the fiefdom over the past two years. Please take a look and see if there is anything useful for you.”

“As for the candidates who will go to the fiefdom.”

“The Earth Fire House can be built quickly. It is undoubtedly best for the clan’s alchemists and weapon refiners to stay in Luofeng Mountain.”

“It would be enough to leave one or two spiritual plant husbands to take care of the spiritual fields in the clan. The initial construction of the fiefdom is to open up spiritual fields. Even if all the spiritual plant husbands in the clan are brought over, I’m afraid they won’t be enough.”

A couple.

We discussed under the silver star tree from day till sunset, when the sky was filled with sunset clouds.

The two stopped talking when Aunt Liu brought Yaoyao back from Niu Shou Mountain. Yaoyao hadn’t seen her father for a long time, and when she saw him, she rushed over from a distance like a cannonball:
“Daddy!”

Fu Changsheng bent down and picked up the child.

the other side.

Fan Ge’er also came back from Wangyue Academy. Liu Meizhen had originally arranged for him to have a long-term attendant, but Fan Ge’er refused and insisted on going to school independently. Although Fan Ge’er was happy to see his father come out of seclusion, he still bowed as usual:
“Father”

Fu Changsheng looked at Fan Ge’er and found him to be as sensible as a little adult.

I sighed in my heart.

I just hope Brother Fan’s spiritual roots aren’t too bad.

At this time, Aunt Liu also carried Rong Ge’er, who had woken up in the room, out. Yaoyao blinked and exclaimed, “Second Brother!”

Fan Ge’er was also a little excited, and turned to look at Liu Meizhen with concern:

“Mother, has my brother’s illness been cured?”

“Well, okay, our family will never be separated again.”

Liu Meizhen lied to everyone about the year Rong Ge’er disappeared, saying that he was sent away and someone was hiring to take care of him.

The family had dinner.

Fu Changsheng then said:

“Brother Fan, you and your brothers and sisters are already six years old this year, and it is time to test your spiritual roots. Daddy will take you to the Ascension Dojo in the back mountain in a while.”

The three siblings heard this.

Yaoyao clapped her hands and couldn’t wait to go there. Fan’er’s face was slightly red with excitement. But Rong’er was the calmest, leaning lazily in Madam Liu’s arms.

The group arrived at the back mountain.

Fu Changsheng took out the clan leader’s token and opened the light curtain of the Ascension Temple.

Yaoyao was the first to raise her hand and said:

“Dad, I’ll go first.”

“Okay, let’s test Yaoyao first.”

Fu Changsheng carried Yaoyao and stepped into the Ascension Platform.

Meizhen stood there without moving.

According to clan rules, only the clan leader and Molan, who was responsible for recording epics, knew the spiritual roots of the rest of the clan members. Although the child was her own, Liu Meizhen did not intend to break the clan rules because of this.

A light curtain of formation rose up.

Only Fu Changsheng and his daughter were left on the Ascension Platform.

A flick of the index finger.

Spiritual light surged on the ground, and a small ladder rose up.

Yaoyao climbed up the ladder without being told, looked up and smiled: “Daddy, can I start now?”

The tribe holds an ascension ceremony every year.

Yaoyao naturally already knew how to detect spiritual roots.

After Fu Changsheng nodded.

Yaoyao immediately placed her little hands on the spirit-testing platform and closed her eyes.

Everything went dark before my eyes.

Yaoyao found herself in a pitch-black place where she couldn’t see her hand in front of her face. In this boundless darkness, she felt that someone seemed to be calling her name in an unknown place.

The voice is particularly friendly.

Yaoyao laughed and ran towards the direction where the sound came from.

I don’t know how long it took.

Suddenly, my eyes lit up.

But he saw a spirit-sealing pillar appearing before him, with a woman in white sealed inside, her body pierced by 108 Xuantian ropes.

The moment Yaoyao appeared.

The woman in white suddenly opened her eyes.

at the same time.

Grandmaster Yu who was in the wine cellar in the back mountain suddenly woke up. Although he didn’t look drunk at all, he actually bowed and saluted in the direction of the spirit-testing platform with a look of respect.

This scene.

If Fu Changsheng saw this, he would definitely be surprised!
The place of ascension.

Although Fu Changsheng knew that Yaoyao’s aptitude should not be bad, he still stared at the spirit-testing platform nervously. However, after watching for a long time, the spirit-testing platform trembled slightly, and then a bright red light beam lit up.

“Fire Spirit Root?”

Without waiting for him to be happy.

The red beam of light dissipated with a bang.

Followed by.

A beam of blue light appeared.

“Dual spiritual roots of fire and wood?”

Otherwise.

This green beam of light appeared for only a moment before dissipating.

This was the first time he had seen such a scene:

“what happened?”

Followed by.

Seven other colored light pillars appeared on the spirit-testing platform one after another. They were all very unstable and dissipated after a slight tremor. It seemed as if there were spiritual roots and yet not.

“Buzz!”

The spirit-testing platform trembled violently.

Then calm returned.

next moment.

Fu Changsheng’s pupils shrank.

But then a nine-tailed fox appeared in the air, and with a buzzing sound, it turned into a beam of white light and sank into Yaoyao’s body:
“This is.”

six years ago.

The same scene occurred when Yaoyao was born.

Fu Changsheng thought about his own life experience.

He murmured to himself:
“Could it be that Yaoyao has awakened the other half of the demon bloodline in her body?”

Shangguan Hui had mentioned before in Wanhua Valley that he was the son of a half-demon and his mother was from the demon clan, but he was not sure which branch of the demon clan she belonged to. However, judging from the nine-tailed celestial fox that had just appeared in the void, his maternal bloodline was most likely from this clan.

But in this place called Da Zhou.

He had never heard of the appearance of a nine-tailed celestial fox.

Fu Changsheng’s thoughts were racing.

After a while.

Yaoyao, who was originally standing on the ladder, suddenly fell down limply. Fu Changsheng quickly reached out to hug the child. He used his spiritual sense to check and found that Yaoyao was fine, just sleeping soundly. He then breathed a sigh of relief.

I see Yaoyao won’t wake up for a while.

A spell hit the light curtain of the magic array, and the array was activated.

Mei Zhen couldn’t wait to glance at Fu Changsheng, wanting to find out something from his face.

But Fu Changsheng himself was confused.

Naturally, there was no answer given to the other party.

The next ones left are Fan Ge’er and Rong Ge’er.

Brother Fan glanced at Brother Rong, who was already fast asleep in Aunt Liu’s arms, and said modestly, “Father, let my second brother take the test first.”

Now is the time for Rong Ge’er to sleep. The sooner the test is completed, the sooner he can go back to bed.

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly.

Take Rong Ge’er from Liu Ma’s arms.

Suddenly, Master Yu’s voice came to my ears:
“Brother Rong’s spiritual roots do not need to be tested.”

Fu Changsheng was stunned for a moment.

He resisted the urge to look and turned his head to look in the direction of the wine cellar.

Vaguely.

He was sure that Grandmaster Yu must know something.

His eyes fell on Rong Ge’er, and after closing the formation, he couldn’t help but ponder. Rong Ge’er and the mysterious stone egg had signed a symbiotic contract, and their talents would overlap. If it was the qualifications of a demon beast, the spirit test platform would naturally be unable to detect it.

That is why Master Yu said this.

Fu Changsheng woke Rong Ge’er up:
“Brother Rong, if someone asks you in the future, just say that your spiritual roots have been tested. Do you understand?”

Rong Ge’er nodded half asleep and half awake.

Stayed in the formation for a while.

I guess it’s almost time.

Only then did Fu Changsheng come out holding the child.

Liu Meizhen reached out to take it, glanced at Fu Changsheng’s face, and seeing that Fu Changsheng looked neither sad nor happy, she couldn’t tell any clues, so she sighed in her heart.

Finally, only Fan Ge’er was left.

Based on system intelligence information.

Two of the triplets are gifted. Judging from the current situation, they are most likely Yaoyao and Rongger.

Standing on the ladder.

Although Fan Ge’er usually behaves like a little adult, he was trembling slightly with nervousness at this moment. In Wangyue Academy, many of his peers privately called him the young patriarch.

He is the eldest son of the clan leader.

According to clan rules, as long as he possesses spiritual roots, he will most likely inherit the position of clan leader in the future.

At first he didn’t feel anything, but as more and more people called him that and as he read more books, he felt more and more that he had a great responsibility. Even if he was not the young patriarch, as the eldest of three siblings, he had to serve as a role model.

and so.

Facing the spirit-testing platform so close at hand, he hesitated, because he was afraid of what would happen if his spirit roots were not detected or if his spirit roots were too poor.

“Brother Fan, don’t be afraid. Daddy will take care of everything. Take a deep breath, relax, and place your hands on the spirit-testing platform.”

“Yes, Daddy.”

With my father’s encouragement.

Only then did Fan Ge’er place his hands on the spirit testing platform.

hum!
The spirit-testing platform trembled slightly.

Followed by.

Five colors of spiritual light suddenly appeared around Fan Ge’er:

“Five spiritual roots?!”

Fu Changsheng was stunned for a moment. Although he was mentally prepared, he never expected that Fan Ge’er actually had the qualifications of five spiritual roots, which was far inferior to the other two children.

Generally speaking.

It is extremely difficult for a cultivator with five spiritual roots to build a foundation.

Fu Changsheng felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, but he soon regained his spirits. With the help of the system, he would definitely be able to find a way to improve Fan Ge’er’s cultivation in the future:
“There must be a way!”

It’s like convincing myself, and also like setting a goal for myself.

After a while, the spiritual light around faded away.

Fan Ge’er opened his eyes. The person who tested his spiritual roots naturally knew what kind of spiritual roots he had. The moment Fan Ge’er opened his eyes, he burst into tears:
“Dad, I have five spiritual roots.”

Although he looks calm and composed on weekdays, he is only a six-year-old child after all. Facing this cruel reality, he can no longer hold back.

Fu Changsheng held the child in his arms, rubbed his back, and said softly:

“Don’t be afraid, Daddy is here for you.”

After crying for a while, perhaps because his emotions were too intense, Fan Ge’er fell asleep while sobbing.

When Fu Changsheng came out of the Immortal Ascension Platform holding the child, Liu Meizhen saw Fan Ge’er, whose eyes were red from crying, and her heart skipped a beat: “Husband, Fan Ge’er, has no spiritual roots?”

If so.

According to clan rules, Fan Ge’er had to live in a secular town.

After ten months of hard pregnancy, Liu Meizhen is now forced to separate her child from her baby. As a mother, she cannot bear this, so her voice involuntarily carries a hint of unprecedented panic.

Fu Changsheng hurriedly said:
“Don’t worry, all three children have spiritual roots.”

“That’s good, that’s good”

Liu Meizhen breathed a sigh of relief immediately, her eyes fell on Fan Ge’er who was still crying in his sleep. She vaguely guessed in her heart that this child might be a fake spiritual root, otherwise Fan Ge’er, who never liked to shed tears, would not cry like this.

She handed Rong’er in her arms to Fu Changsheng, and took Fan’er in her arms.

Ever since Fan Ge’er was old enough to understand, he never allowed adults to hold him. Among the three children, Fan Ge’er was the most hardworking and sensible. She never expected that Fan Ge’er was also the one with the worst qualifications.

Liu Meizhen calculated quickly in her mind.

Even if Fan Ge’er has a fake spiritual root, he has his mother, an alchemist, and his father, who is building the foundation. They must find a way to let Fan Ge’er cultivate to at least the foundation-building stage!
Carry the three children back to the backyard.

Fu Changsheng pulled Liu Meizhen to sit on the silver star tree stone bench, thought for a long time, and said:

“Meizhen, I plan to let Yaoyao and Rongge’er practice with Grandmaster Yu starting tomorrow. What do you think?”

Master Yu’s identity remains a mystery, but his strength before he was injured must not be underestimated. It would be great if Master Yu could personally teach Yaoyao and the others.

just.

Liu Wanzhen was afraid that Fan Ge’er, who was left behind, would think too much:

“Husband, it doesn’t matter if you take one with you, can you ask Grandmaster Yu to be flexible and let him take all three siblings with him to practice together?”

Fu Changsheng shook his head:
“Master Yu is already seriously injured, and he also has to help build the Earth Fire House and go to the fiefdom to set up a mountain protection formation. There are so many things to do, and it’s hard to take Yaoyao with him. If he adds Brother Fan, he will probably be too busy to handle it and won’t be able to take care of it.”

“The most important point is.”

“Brother Ruo Fan and his brothers and sisters all worship under the Grandmaster.”

“If his brothers and sisters advance by leaps and bounds in cultivation, but he himself stands still, that would be even more cruel to him, and it might also affect his future physical and mental health.”

I’m afraid Meizhen will think too much.

Fu Changsheng continued:

“Meizhen, don’t worry. Brother Fan has our help. He is a hard-working and determined child, so his cultivation will definitely not be slower than that of ordinary tribesmen. He is the eldest son, and his responsibilities are different from those of Brother Rong and Yaoyao. The reason why he is allowed to practice with many tribesmen of the right age is also to let him build a good relationship with the tribesmen of the Yong generation since childhood. For him, having a partner who grew up together and practices together will be able to help him manage general affairs in the future.”

“Okay, then I’ll do as you wish, my husband.”

The next day.

Fu Changsheng opened his eyes from his meditation.

But I saw a little person in the yard quietly walking out of the back door with a small schoolbag on his back:

“Brother Fan?”

He thought that the child would not be able to bear the blow and would need a few days to recover, but he never expected that the child would get up earlier than usual and run to the academy without even eating breakfast.

For a while.

Fu Changsheng felt both relieved and distressed.

After breakfast.

He went to the wine cellar in the back mountain.

About becoming a disciple.

But since it was just his personal opinion, he naturally had to seek the Grandmaster’s opinion.

He smiled and patted his storage bag. A flash of light appeared, and several gourds floated towards Grandmaster Yu:
“Master Yu, I was busy in seclusion after returning from Wanning Market, and forgot to send you the Snowflake Wine, Green Mountain Wine, and Hundred Flowers Wine that I bought from Wanning Market. I’m really sorry. Please try these three kinds of wine. If you think any one tastes better, I will bring you a few more bottles next time I go.”

When Master Yu saw the spirit wine, his eyes lit up. He couldn’t wait to open the Qingshan wine and took a sip, smacking his lips:
“Well, it’s stronger than Snowflake Liquor, but the aftertaste is good. I, Yu, never drink other people’s wine for free. Tell me, how can I help you?”

After listening to Fu Changsheng’s purpose.

Master Yu looked at Fu Changsheng in surprise:

“Friend Fu, do you trust me so much? Aren’t you afraid that I might lead your two babies astray?”

If there is something fishy going on with the Grandmaster.

The system intelligence would have provided that information long ago.

Moreover, with Master Yu’s methods, if he really wanted to take action against the Fu family in the past ten years, he would have done it long ago.

Fu Changsheng bowed and said:

“Master Yu is a person that Changsheng naturally does not trust. As a token of gratitude, I will pay extra attention to the whereabouts of Wu Xue Dan, hoping to help you recover soon.”

Hear Wu Xuedan.

Master Yu’s originally lazy expression suddenly raised his eyebrows:
“Okay, from now on, you can ask Rong Ge’er and Yao Yao to come to my place once in the middle of every month. As for becoming my disciple, forget about it.”

“Then Changsheng would like to thank Grandmaster Yu on behalf of my child.”

Symbiotic beast.

Son of a half-demon.

He couldn’t help Rong’er and Yaoyao with their cultivation.

With Master Yu’s guidance, Fu Changsheng felt relieved and asked, “Master Yu, has the Ten Thousand Ghosts Formation Diagram that I asked you to help repair been repaired?”

When passing by the back mountain.

The Jianqi Mountain that originally stood there has disappeared.

According to Meizhen.

Grandmaster Yu took back Jianqi Mountain more than a year ago on the pretext of repairing the formation diagram.

Grandmaster Yu waved his sleeves.

A battle formation filled with supreme sword intent floated towards Fu Changsheng:
“This array diagram is seriously damaged. Even with the Cangming Stone you brought back, I can only barely repair one side. But on this basis, I have integrated the Jianqi Mountain into it. Even if there is only one side, the power is equivalent to that of a third-order low-grade magic array. For the remaining seven array diagrams, if you can find lapis lazuli, I can barely repair the second side. Combined with the first side, the power will be increased to a higher level, no different from a third-order mid-grade magic array.”

“lapis lazuli?”

Fu Changsheng had never heard of it.

Seeing that he was confused, Master Yu made a hand gesture with his right hand, and instantly a palm-sized stone with a sinister aura condensed in the air.
