Chapter 397: Jiuyou Xuantian Five Elements Formation, Intelligence, Alliance

Fu Changsheng saw his daughter’s smug look, and even a hint of eagerness to share and show off, so he immediately followed Yaoyao’s suggestion and said with a smile:

“If you can resist the great formation of Jindan Zhenren, then your father will be greatly enlightened.”

“Father, come with me”

Their group was on the second floor of the Demon-Suppressing Tower in the newly built Demon-Suppressing City in Huizhou Prefecture, and the central formation was built on the first floor, just like the one in the Yunshan County fiefdom.

A group of people came down from the teleportation hall.

Except for Fu Changsheng and Fairy Tianyin, who is also a formation master, the rest were taken out of the Demon-Controlling Tower first. As the central hub of the entire fiefdom, not just anyone can enter.

Standing in front of the formation.

Yaoyao raised her hand and waved. The array plates instantly floated in the air, emitting faint light, accompanied by spells that hit the array platform.

Rumble!
The entire Tianlong Mountain Range seemed to be enveloped by an invisible force. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth suddenly gathered, and the power of the five elements flowed endlessly in the formation. The Five Elements Mountain Pillars made of North Sea Black Ice Iron rose from deep underground. The pillars were engraved with Nine Nether Devouring Spirit Patterns. The Yin Qi of the earth veins was continuously extracted and fed back to the formation.

Fu Changsheng’s eyes lit up.

Even though he was a layman, he could feel that this mountain protection formation was extraordinary.

Yaoyao explained with a bit of pride:

“Father, this Five Elements Mountain-Suppressing Pillar is the foundation of the formation. Once damaged, the two adjacent pillars will automatically activate the ‘Five Elements Rotation’ and repair themselves within three breaths. Even a full-strength attack from a peak Jindan master would be difficult to completely destroy it.”

If so.

That’s even if the real person from the Joyful Sect comes.

Then they would have the ability to protect themselves, and Fu Changsheng felt relieved.

Then, Yaoyao raised her hand and pointed, and 360 stars above the clouds suddenly lit up, and the power of the stars projected down, forming a dazzling light curtain. The Taiyin Stone at the center of the formation resonated with the Sun Stone, and the Yin-Yang shield took shape instantly.

Fairy Tianyin, who was standing by, exclaimed in admiration:

“Grand Elder Yongyao, have you constructed the Zhoutian Xingdou Plate?!”

This can only be done by a fourth-level formation master.

Yaoyao smiled and nodded:
“Yes, we modified the Big Dipper formation in the clan land that Grandpa rebuilt. We added the new Zhoutian Star Plate. The Sun Stone can activate the ‘Heaven-Burning Fire Cover’. For our defense, the power of the fire spells released can be increased by more than ten times. The Moon Stone releases the ‘Mysterious Weak Water Curtain’, which can dissolve the spiritual sense detection of the peak of the Golden Core.”

A hint of surprise flashed in Fu Changsheng’s eyes. Although he had seen many mountain protection formations, this was the first time he had seen such an exquisite yin-yang alternating defense mechanism.

Yaoyao did not stop, she waved the array again, and the nine-layered mysterious evil barrier was instantly unfolded. The outer layer was wandering with soul-devouring Yin thunder, the middle layer was floating with weak mercury sand, and the inner layer was condensed into a mysterious ice crystal wall.

“The outer layer of this nine-layer mysterious evil barrier can devour souls, the middle layer can corrode magic weapons, and the inner layer is comparable to the scales of a fourth-level peak demon beast.” Yaoyao’s tone was calm, but there was a hint of pride in her eyes. As the spell changed, the Earth Vein Dragon Binding Chain rose from the ground, and nine evil earth dragons took shape and entangled in the void. She explained: “This Earth Vein Dragon Binding Chain can seal a Jindan cultivator for three breaths. If the earth dragon explodes, the ‘Nine Nether Evil Qi’ released can pollute the foundation of the Jindan Dao.”

“Father, this is the full power of the ‘Nine Nether Mysterious Heaven Five Elements Formation’.” Yaoyao put away the formation plate, “Although this formation is known for its viciousness and treacherousness, its defense and counterattack power are endless and enough to protect our clan.”

Fu Changsheng nodded repeatedly with satisfaction.

Turning to Fairy Tianyin, he said:

“Fairy Tianyin, you stay here and get familiar with this mountain protection formation first.”

“Yes, Master”

Fairy Tianyin was also very interested.

Yaoyao brought Fu Changsheng to the Patriarch’s Mansion. After closing the magic circle, Fu Changsheng asked, “Yaoyao, where are your Uncle Lei, Brother Shitou, and Aunt Yu?”

Yaoyao poured Fu Changsheng a cup of local Lai Meng tea. “Father, after Uncle Chang Lei set up the barrier on Lei Ze Island, he has been practicing in seclusion there. As for Aunt Yu and Brother Shitou, they went to the Brahma Fire Region not long ago. There have been too many wildfires there recently, and the barrier they set up has become a little loose. They went there to find out the cause and to repair and reinforce the barrier.”

Yaoyao knew what Fu Changsheng was worried about.

Busy said:

“Everything is fine in Huizhou Prefecture, father, don’t worry.”

So good.

Then they can focus on the competition for the spot in Kunlun Secret Realm:
“Yaoyao, tell me about the current situation of the ten great seventh-rank families in Wuzhou.”

The court gave them a total of one hundred places, and how to allocate them would be discussed among the ten major families. Therefore, he had to find out the situation clearly before the meeting of the Council of Patriarchs, try to form an alliance, and earn a say in the final decision.

Yaoyao heard this.

A wave of sleeves.

A jade slip instantly flew towards Fu Changsheng:

“Father, this jade slip records the situation of the ten great seventh-grade families in Wuzhou, except for our Fu family.”

Fu Changsheng reached out and took it.

His consciousness swept away.

However, the seventh-rank Huang family was written prominently at the front.

Although the Huang family is not of high rank, according to the information obtained by Yaoyao and others, their family has produced a high-ranking official and has a say in the court. The noble families that have attached themselves to them are mostly the forces behind the minor officials under these high-ranking officials, such as the Qin family and the Ye family.

“Father, the seventh-rank aristocratic families in Wuzhou are all vaguely headed by the Huang family. The only family that can compete with them is the Wu family. The head of the Wu family is a fake elixir cultivator and may break through to the golden elixir realm at any time.”

The Chen family and the Zhang family brought over by the Wu family were both supported all the way up from their previous fiefdoms and have a close relationship with them.

In other words.

The Huang family holds the power, while the Wu family speaks with strength.

When Fu Changsheng read to the end, he discovered that there was also a seventh-grade Cao family. This Cao family had a slight relationship with the Jinzhou fifth-grade Jindan Cao family where Cao Xianger was, and could be considered a branch of a branch.

If you take advantage of Cao Xianger’s relationship.

Perhaps they could pull the Cao family into their camp. Then, together with the Lei family, they would have three aristocratic families. Although their comprehensive strength currently does not seem to be as good as the previous two major camps, when the aristocratic families make decisions, they count by the number of people.

Nine great families.

They were all recorded, except for the remaining Ouyang family, for which no information was recorded.

Fu Changsheng looked at Yaoyao suspiciously, and Yaoyao shook her head helplessly and said, “The Ouyang family keeps a low profile in Wuzhou and hardly participates in any exchanges between the noble families. However, the mountain protection formation of their fiefdom almost covers the area of ​​an entire county. From this point, it is enough to see that the strength of the Ouyang family must not be underestimated.”

really.

Those who are able to be promoted to the seventh rank are not easy to deal with.

This place is no longer the remote place of Jingzhou Huainan Prefecture.

The two were talking.

Fu Yongfu was already peeking out of the door.

Childhood.

Because Liu Meizhen and Fu Changsheng hardly took care of him and Qiang Ge’er, the two were almost all raised by Yaoyao when they were young. Qiang Ge’er was missing, and among his brothers and sisters, the one Fu Yongfu was closest to was his sister Yaoyao.

Fu Changsheng found it funny.

He was thinking about exchanging some information, and immediately said to Yaoyao:

“Fu Ge’er has studied a lot of spiritual food in his fiefdom in Yunshan County. When he heard that you would come to Huizhou Prefecture together, he was so excited that he has been busy in the kitchen. He said that he would prepare a portion of the spiritual food you have missed over the years for you to taste. Come quickly.”

After Fu Ge’er was born with the Wan Shen spiritual body, it was as if he had opened his Ren and Tong meridians. He studied several third-level spiritual food recipes in succession. If he were to break through to the Purple Mansion, the number of recipes would have to be multiplied several times.

Watching Yaoyao leave happily.

Fu Changsheng returned to the secret room, closed the magic circle, and with a thought, he entered the Five Elements Space in the next moment. At the same time, his thoughts fell on the panel of his sea of ​​consciousness, and he immediately thought:
“Exchange Information”

hum!
The panel vibrates.

A large amount of yellow light surged.

Then lines of text appeared:

[1: Kunlun Secret Realm is divided into different areas: Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Purple Mansion, and Golden Core. You will be teleported to the corresponding area according to your own cultivation. In the Qi Refining Area, Jiuqu Spiritual Stream contains a hundred-year-old jade marrow. This item can directly break through the small realm when taken by Qi Refining cultivators without any side effects. In the Foundation Building Area, Jianzhong Mountain, there is a broken sword, Guhongying. The blade of this sword is engraved with the incomplete sword formula “Guhong Lueying”. After comprehending it, the Foundation Building cultivators can teleport a hundred feet away.]

[2: In the Xuanming Demon Cave in the Purple Mansion Region of Kunlun Secret Realm, there is a pair of six-winged demon feathers. After refining, six phantom wings appear on its back, and its escape speed is comparable to that of a peak golden elixir.]

[3: In the Kunlun Secret Realm, the demon soul beads condensed from the residual souls of great demons can continuously feed the natal spiritual weapon to breed the weapon spirit]

[4: In the secret realm of Kunlun, there is ethereal mica]

Four consecutive pieces of information are related to the Kunlun Secret Realm.

among them.

When Fu Changsheng saw the fourth item, he still frowned slightly, because the ethereal mica was extremely important to him. It was the last spiritual object that could block the prying eyes of the Imperial Court’s Tianji Pavilion. After collecting all of them, Master Yu would be able to recover from his suspended death state.

Also.

The secret realm in Yunshan County can also be opened.

Rong Ge’er has been imprisoned there for decades:

“This information doesn’t even explain in which area the ethereal mica is located.”

If it landed in the Jindan area, it would be nothing for him. He had asked the Shadow Sect about this ethereal mica before, but the Shadow Sect replied that only the elders of the sect were qualified to exchange it. He was currently just an outer disciple, so he didn’t even have to think about it:

“You can only exchange for information once when the secret realm is opened.”

If so.

Then he would need to distribute the Shadow Gate masks to everyone in the Fu family who entered the secret realm.

Yaoyao and others had ready-made ones, but the Qi-refining and foundation-building disciples had none. Fortunately, he had kept a few as backup and did not distribute them all.

[5: Fu Molan successfully infiltrates Qiuyue Temple. By chance, her originally hidden stunning beauty is discovered by the Sixth Elder of Qiuyue Temple. The Sixth Elder keeps it a secret. Fu Molan knows nothing about it and is helping to find out the whereabouts and news of Fu Yongrui.]

Fu Changsheng didn’t think there was anything wrong with it at first glance.

After all, Qiuyue Temple is a nunnery, and the Sixth Elder must also be a nun. However, thinking that this is a subsidiary force of the Huanxi Sect, he felt vaguely uneasy.

The most important thing is.

Molan’s face has been discovered. If the people from Qiuyue Temple have spies in Jingzhou or Jingzhou and discover Molan’s true identity, then Molan’s undercover identity will be in danger!

at this time.

Compared to carrying out the undercover mission of Zhenshisi and finding Ruiger, Molan’s life is naturally the most important.

Therefore, Fu Changsheng did not have time to check the information below. He waved his sleeves, and a mask flashed into view. Then he cast a spell, and with a humming sound, his mind fell on it. After quickly transmitting the relevant information to Molan, he breathed a sigh of relief:
“I hope Molan will leave in time after seeing this message.”

[6: The Lei Ze Island in your new fiefdom, Huizhou Prefecture, is actually a broken spiritual treasure. If you find the source, you can take the entire Lei Ze Island into it, which will be of great use to the evolution of your five elements space! ]

“what?”

Fu Changsheng was stunned for a moment.

If this is true, then this Lei Ze Island is really a great opportunity for him. The sword canon he practiced requires moving Lei Ze Island into the Five Elements Space in the Lei Ze environment, so that he will not need to use the Lightning Inducing Talisman in the future.

Also.

The Nine-Leaf Sword Ganoderma that grows from the Sword Path Seed can also be used to increase the speed. At present, the Sword Path Seed is still in the form of a black jade-colored stalagmite, but once it is cultivated into a growing Nine-Leaf Sword Ganoderma, it can condense a “Sword Soul Projection” and temporarily summon the phantom of an ancient famous sword to help in battle. As for which sword it is, it depends on the lifespan consumed.

For him who has a life span of nearly a thousand years.

This is undoubtedly a killer move!
“It seems that we need to cultivate the Heavenly Silkworm Fruit as soon as possible.”

This item can allow the Green-Faced White Fox to advance to the third level.

If Xiaoqing reaches the third level, perhaps he will be able to find the broken magic treasure on Lei Ze Island.

[7: Located a hundred miles west of the Misty Ghost Forest restricted area in Huizhou Prefecture, the Xuan Xiao Sect has a Nine-Turn Spirit Spring. This spiritual spring can increase the success rate of Purple Mansion’s breakthrough to the Golden Core by half. However, the Nine-Turn Spirit Spring is a secret of the Xuan Xiao Sect that only the successive sect masters know. The Nine-Turn Spirit Spring is guarded by a third-order soul-eating insect.]

what? !

When Fu Changsheng saw the first half of the information, he was shocked.

For Zifu to break through to the Golden Core stage, let alone a half chance, even if it was a one percent chance, if others knew about it, they would fight over it and cause a bloody storm.

Now that he has broken through to the late Purple Mansion stage.

If he could get his hands on this Nine Revolutions Spiritual Spring, it would undoubtedly be of great help to him in the future!
Fu Changsheng’s breathing became heavy.

When he saw that the soul-devouring insect was guarding the Nine-Transformation Spiritual Spring, he exclaimed:

“Level 3 Soul Devouring Insect”

This means that the Xuanxiao Sect has the method to cultivate Soul-Eating Insects to the third stage. Now, countless Soul-Eating Insects have been cultivated in his Five Elements Space.

If you find the method once.

In the future, he will almost be able to build a third-level soul-eating insect team!

I get excited just thinking about it:
“What is the origin of this Xuanxiao Sect?”

After Fu Changsheng made his plan, he asked his clansmen to find out the details first.

[8: The Seventh Prince’s time is up. Although everyone knows that the Seventh Prince has been doing his best to support your grandson Kang’er as the crown prince for the past ten years, in order to pass the inheritance, Kang’er needs to complete the tasks assigned by the court one by one. Only if he meets all the indicators, can he enjoy the right of inheritance without being demoted. Currently, only the last indicator remains.]

Calculate according to time.

I estimate it’s around this time.

However, previous intelligence mentioned that the title of Seventh Prince ended up being awarded to Ningning’s husband, which means that Kang’er failed to meet the last criterion.

Fu Changsheng gritted his teeth:
“How did this all come together?”

If you want Kang’er to obtain the title smoothly.

He still had to go to the Prince’s Mansion, but the competition for a place in the Kunlun Secret Realm was about to begin.

But weigh the pros and cons again and again.

He decided to go to the Seventh Prince’s Mansion first.

With Meizhen in Huizhou Prefecture, it is estimated that there won’t be any big problems. Going to the Prince’s Mansion, in addition to helping Kang’er successfully obtain the title, more importantly, he also wants to investigate Ningning’s disappearance.

It was said before that Ningning eloped with the guard and teleported away.

You can send someone to look for it.

Ten years have passed, but there is no news at all.

With Ningning’s reckless personality, it is impossible for her to be foolproof.

and so.

He had to go to the Prince’s Mansion in person to feel at ease.

【9:.】

Guilin Prefecture, Lei family mansion.

The Lei family is a seventh-rank aristocratic family. Their mansion is located in the suburbs of Guilin, with green mountains behind it and clear water in front of it. The buildings in the mansion are simple and elegant, with pavilions and towers scattered around in an orderly manner, revealing the family’s heritage and majesty everywhere.

At this time, the head of the Lei family was sitting in the study, holding a chess piece in his hand. The chessboard clearly showed two opposing sides. His brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about how to make the next move. The furnishings in the study were simple, but exquisite. There were several landscape paintings hanging on the wall, and the bookshelves were filled with ancient books and instruments. It looked solemn and elegant.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the study, and then a middle-aged man dressed as a servant of the Lei family walked in quickly, bowed respectfully and said, “Master, the mistress of the seventh-rank family Fu family, Liu Meizhen, is here to visit and is waiting in the front hall.”

Upon hearing this, Chief Lei’s eyebrows slightly raised, with a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He put down the chess piece in his hand, slowly stood up, and said, “Liu Meizhen? Why did she come to visit suddenly?”

The servant bowed his head and said, “Madam Liu did not explain her purpose of coming, but only said that she had something important to discuss with the master of the family.”

Patriarch Lei pondered for a moment, guessing that it was related to the notice just issued by the court. He just didn’t expect that the other party knew the news so quickly. If he remembered correctly, the head of the Fu family, Fu Changsheng, was thousands of miles away in Jingzhou.

but.

If Liu Meizhen didn’t have some tricks up her sleeve, she wouldn’t have been able to gain a foothold in Jingzhou, where she had no foundation, and develop into a force with a certain reputation.

He immediately stood up and said:
“I’ll get ready and go see her right away. Go and prepare some tea. Don’t neglect the guest.”

The servants withdrew in response. Chief Lei straightened his robes, walked out of the study and headed towards the front hall.

In the front hall, Liu Meizhen was sitting in the guest seat, with a calm expression and indifferent eyes. She was wearing a plain long dress, with her hair tied up high. Although she was not wearing any makeup, she still looked dignified and elegant, with a sense of calmness and wisdom between her eyebrows.

When Chief Lei stepped into the front hall and saw Liu Meizhen, he smiled and said, “Mrs. Fu, I am sorry for not welcoming you.”

Liu Meizhen stood up, bowed slightly, and said, “Patriarch Lei, you are too polite. I am sorry for disturbing you by coming here.”

Chief Lei waved his hand and said with a smile: “Mrs. Fu, you are too polite. Please take a seat.”

The two sat down as host and guest, and the servants served tea. Chief Lei picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then he put the cup down and looked at Liu Meizhen, saying, “I wonder what important matter Madam Fu came here to discuss today?”

Liu Meizhen looked calm: “Lei clan leader, I came here this time to discuss an important matter. The situation in Wuzhou is changing rapidly, and the two camps of Huang family and Wu family are becoming increasingly powerful. If our Fu family and Lei family fight on their own, I am afraid we will lose in the competition for the quota of Kunlun Secret Realm!”

Chief Lei raised his eyebrows slightly and motioned Liu Meizhen to continue.

Liu Meizhen said calmly:
“The Kunlun Secret Realm only opens once every few hundred years. It is also the greatest opportunity for us after we are promoted to a seventh-grade family. If we fail, we will fall behind step by step in Wuzhou in the future.”

In other words.

Although they are also of the seventh rank.

But once the Huang family and the Wu family become powerful.

Then they will almost have the final say in the Seventh Rank Family Council of Wuzhou in the future, and they will definitely lose their original rights: “Lei Clan Leader, we must take action while we can still compete with these two major camps. Otherwise, it will be too late and we will regret it.”

The only connection between the Lei family and the Fu family is that Kang’er’s biological grandmother came from the Lei family, but this concubine who married into the palace has passed away long ago.

The person the Lei family wants to support more is Kang’er’s father Zhou Xuanming.

After all, Zhou Xuanming is closer to the Lei family by blood and they often visit each other, while Kang’er obviously has closer contacts with the Fu family.

The Thunder Clan leader narrowed his eyes slightly:
“Mrs. Fu, do you mean that we should join forces and form a new camp in Wuzhou to fight against the Huang and Wu camps?”

“Exactly!”

Liu Meizhen nodded.

Chief Lei knocked on the table.

It is obvious to everyone that the Seventh Prince wants to pass the title to Kang’er, but Zhou Xuanming is his own grandson, and if it were not the last step, their Lei family would not give up.

Who will inherit the title between Kang Er and Zhou Xuanming?

It has a great impact on the future development of their family.

In a way.

The Lei family and the Fu family have a competitive relationship, and it is extremely subtle. If you are not careful, they may become enemies.

Liu Meizhen seemed to have seen through what Chief Lei was thinking and shook her head:
“Patriarch Lei, the affairs of the palace are not something that our two families can interfere with or influence. What you and I can decide is whether to join forces. I believe that the Wuzhou Seventh Rank Family Heads’ Council should be convened soon.”

It stands to reason.

Chief Lei should be anxious right now.

however.

At this time, the other party threw out a sentence lightly:
“To be honest, Madam Fu, before you came, the Wu and Huang families had already sent me a message.”

Finished.

The other person picked up the teacup and drank the tea.

Obviously.

In order to gain absolute say in how to allocate the next quota for the Kunlun Secret Realm, these two major camps have extended an olive branch to the Lei family.

The Fu family took the initiative.

Instead, it became a bargaining chip for the Lei family to sell at a high price.

Seeing this, Liu Meizhen chuckled.

The Thunder Clan leader frowned:
“Mrs. Fu, what do you mean?”

Liu Meizhen didn’t say anything, she just stood up and saluted:
“Lei clan leader, I have conveyed my message. As for where the final move will take place, that is the will of your Lei family. I have an appointment with Cao Wanhu to meet at Cao’s house in Liuzhou Prefecture. The time is almost up. If we don’t leave now, it will be too late.”

The latter sentence.

What you said is very meaningful.

When Chief Lei saw Liu Meizhen leave without even looking back, he was shocked.

Instead, he himself began to feel vaguely uneasy.

Because the Cao Wanhu that Liu Meizhen mentioned was Cao Xiang’er from the fifth-grade golden elixir Cao family. When Cao Xiang’er was working at the Wanhu Office in Jingzhou, there were rumors that Cao Xiang’er and Liu Meizhen had a close relationship.

Also.

There have been rumors that Cao Xianger will soon break through to the golden elixir stage.

The Cao family of Liuzhou Prefecture is originally a branch of the Cao family. If Cao Xianger is willing to act as a matchmaker, the Cao family and the Fu family will definitely be able to form an alliance. Together with their Lei family, they will have three places, and they will be able to compete with the Huang and Wu camps.

The most important thing is.

There is a 99% chance that Kang’er will inherit the title of this Prince’s Mansion.

The relationship they had built with great difficulty with the royal family could not be broken:

“Mrs. Fu, please stay!”
