Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Breakthrough, Firethorn

Fu Changsheng glanced at the bottom of the bottle and indeed saw the cloud imprint, a smile appeared on his face.

The Qi Enhancement Pill is a Tier One Middle-Grade Spirit Pill, which is most suitable for him right now. Although there are only two, after refining them, breaking through to Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer is not far off.

This time going out.

Not only did he successfully eliminate the scourge of Li Wentai, he also obtained the method for making two talismans for free. Fu Changsheng was very satisfied. After coming out of the Secret Chamber, he handed the ancient book to Molan:

”Molan, copy the production method on it.”

Fu Molan opened it and found that it was the method for making Tier One High-Grade Talisman, both surprised and delighted. Of course, she didn’t ask where this ancient book came from and quickly recopied it, returning the original to Fu Changsheng.

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly.

Turning around to enter the Secret Chamber, planning to start making talismans.

A familiar mechanical sound suddenly came to his mind:

”Ding”

”You brought back two Tier One High-Grade Talisman Production Methods for the clan, earning twenty Clan Contribution Points.”

Fu Changsheng’s eyes lit up and he put down the Talisman Brush.

He glanced at the panel.

Noticed that the Clan Contribution Points had remarkably increased from thirty-eight to fifty-eight.

In other words.

He could draw once and exchange for four pieces of information.

Fu Changsheng almost didn’t hesitate and immediately said:

”Exchange for a draw!”

The first five draws.

He got pretty good items each time, but didn’t know what it would be this time.

Buzz!

A large amount of yellow light surged on the panel.

Accompanied by the Clan Contribution Points on the panel decreasing from fifty-eight to eight.

The next moment.

He felt a box suddenly appear in his sleeve.

The box had a white base with dragon patterns.

Although it was not the first draw, Fu Changsheng was still a bit nervous. He opened the box and saw a cloth bag inside:

”Huh, what’s this?”

After opening the cloth bag.

Five fiery red seeds were found inside.

When he touched the red seeds, a piece of information flowed into the Sea of Divine Sense:

”Firethorn, a Tier One High-Grade Spirit Plant, seeds from its mature fruit can instantly grow into a barbed vine whip when activated by Mana. The vine whip is equivalent to a Tier One High-Grade Magical Artifact and can easily break through a Vajra Shield. However, once activated, the seeds cannot regenerate and are one-time consumables.”

Fu Changsheng’s eyes lit up:

”These Firethorn seeds are equivalent to a Tier One High-Grade Magical Artifact, not bad at all!”

He was very satisfied with this draw.

Although they are one-time consumables.

The Firethorn can be planted.

He planned to keep one for self-defense, store one as a backup seed, and give the other three to his elder brother to plant, hoping they would yield more fruits next year, obtaining more Firethorn seeds.

Currently.

He didn’t have a single offensive Magical Artifact on hand.

His elder brother Fu Changren, upon learning about the effects of the Firethorn, suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders grow heavier. After pondering carefully, he said with difficulty:

”Patriarch, since the Firethorn is Tier One High-Grade, the Spiritual Qi it requires is not something a Tier One Low-Grade Spirit Field can provide. To successfully plant it, we either have to set up a Spirit Gathering Array in the Spirit Field using Spirit Stones or plant it next to the Spiritual Spring Well. However, if planted by the Spiritual Spring Well, our cultivation time there must be reduced from fifteen days to ten days a month.”

The Spiritual Spring Well is already scarce.

Obviously, the second option is not feasible.

Fu Changsheng took out the Spirit Stones from selling the talismans:

”Elder brother, then use Spirit Stones to set up the Spirit Gathering Array.”

When the Firethorn matures.

Whether for personal use or selling, it is a venture worth investing Spirit Stones in.

”Patriarch, I will take good care to ensure the Firethorn bears fruit smoothly.”

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly.

He returned to the Secret Chamber to prepare to take the Qi Enhancement Pill for cultivation when the familiar mechanical voice came to his mind again:

”Ding”

”You brought a Tier One High-Grade Firethorn Seed for the clan, earning six Clan Contribution Points.”

The Clan Contribution Points on the panel remarkably increased from eight to fourteen.

In other words.

He could exchange for seven pieces of information.

However.

To focus on cultivation in peace, he decided not to exchange for information for the time being.

”Hoo~”

The cultivation technique operated for one Minor Circulation.

After expelling a breath of turbid air from his body.

Fu Changsheng finally held a Qi Enhancement Pill and swallowed it. The pill’s medicinal power was gentle, almost dissolving upon entry, its robust medicinal power spreading throughout his limbs and bones.

.....

Time flies by, and months pass in the blink of an eye.

In the time of a fleeting moment.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Fu Changsheng, who was sitting in meditation with closed eyes, suddenly opened them, and with his right hand making a seal, a gentle breeze arose in the Secret Chamber. The wind trembled slightly in the air and transformed into three Wind Blades in a flash. Ding ding ding, the three Wind Blades shot into the stone wall like lightning, leaving three deep grooves.

Fu Changsheng’s eyes shone with joy:

”Not bad, after breaking through to Qi Cultivation Fourth-Layer Perfection, even a Tier One Middle-Grade Technique can be instantly unleashed, and the quantity has tripled.”

Fu Changsheng was very satisfied.

Next.

He did not rush to leave closed cultivation.

After all, with Li Wentai dead, the Li Family would surely be in turmoil for a while.

He planned to practice the Tier One High-Grade Earth Escape Talisman, after all, if successful, it would not only mean stepping into the ranks of Tier One High-Grade Talisman Makers, but he would also possess a life-saving trump card.

Thus, several more months passed by.

In the Secret Chamber.

Occasional sounds of talisman explosions rang.

After several months.

The ground of the entire Secret Chamber was covered with countless discarded papers.

Unlike the Tier One Middle-Grade and Tier One Low-Grade talismans, the Earth Escape Talisman was even harder to make than he imagined. One of the biggest reasons was his low cultivation level, which led to talisman explosions due to inability to control when sealing Spiritual Power at the last step of the talisman.

And the Talisman Brush in his hand, which had unexpected effects on Tier One Middle-Grade and Low-Grade talismans, did not have any blessing effect on High-Tier Talismans.

Finally.

After yet another stack of talisman paper was consumed.

He finally successfully crafted an Earth Escape Talisman.

Looking at the talisman in his hand.

He showed a satisfied smile:

”After being in closed cultivation for half a year, it’s time to leave.”

After all, the talisman paper had been completely consumed.

Upon coming out of the Secret Chamber.

He found that the Seven-Star Grass in the Spirit Field had already been harvested and replaced by Red Marrow Rice, which had grown to knee height. His elder brother Fu Changren, who was busy in the Spirit Field, immediately came up upon seeing Fu Changsheng:

”Patriarch, did you run out of talisman paper? I just made another batch, I’ll bring it to you right away.”

”No rush”

Fu Changsheng smiled and took out the successfully crafted Earth Escape Talisman.

His elder brother Fu Changren was stunned for a moment. Feeling the abundant Spiritual Power contained in the Earth Escape Talisman, his eyes shone with joy:

”Congratulations to the Patriarch for being promoted to Tier One High-Grade Talisman Maker!”

For their Qi Cultivation Clans, a Tier One High-Grade Talisman Maker represented the highest skill level. The talismans created could either be used for themselves or sold, both of which were highly valuable compared to those of lower grades.

Fu Changsheng nodded with a smile:

”By the way, how about the talisman paper? How’s the new batch?”
