Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Tier One High-Grade Alchemist, Causing Trouble

Shangguan Feng escorted Fu Changsheng and the others back to Luofeng Mountain, agreed to return in half a year to officiate Fu Changsheng’s wedding, and then left using sword control.

Fu Changren, who had been waiting at the mountain gate for a long time, hurried to greet them. Even the third brother, Fu Changli, who was obsessed with the art of brewing, and Liu Runzhi, who had been refining artifacts for over a year, came out to welcome them.

Everyone was very enthusiastic about the arrival of Liu Meizhen, especially since Meizhen had been raised for several years in the Fu Family during her childhood. Whether with the eldest brother or the third brother, she was quite familiar. After a round of reminiscing, they temporarily arranged Liu Meizhen in a guest room and wisely left, giving space to Fu Changsheng and Liu Meizhen.

Once everyone left.

Liu Meizhen gave Fu Changsheng a gentle and warm smile:

”Brother Changsheng, let me show you something.”

Saying that.

She fished out a pill bottle from her sleeve.

The pill bottle opened.

Inside lay a red Qi Condensing Pill.

The Qi Condensing Pill is a Tier One High-Grade Spirit Pill used by late-stage Qi cultivators to enhance their cultivation.

Fu Changsheng was momentarily stunned, then blinked and his face lit up with joy:

”Meizhen, did you refine this Qi Condensing Pill?”

”Yes.”

Liu Meizhen nodded slightly.

A year ago, she broke through to become a Tier One High-Grade Alchemist, but if Liu Qingyun ever learned of her good alchemy talent, he would never let her leave the Liuu Family.

Regarding Fu Changsheng’s bold act today.

Liu Meizhen felt touched and held Fu Changsheng’s hand, saying:

”Brother Changsheng, in the future, you focus on talisman making and I’ll focus on alchemy. If we work hard together for a few years, we’ll definitely be able to pay off the external debts owed to the Shangguan Family.”

Fu Changsheng laughed and shook his head:

”Meizhen, the Fu Family is not as poor as you think.”

He immediately cast a technique on the courtyard wall, causing a light shield to rise, then explained he had anticipated and prepaid dividends from the Spirit Stone Vein in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers:

”Uncle Feng came this time to deliver this year’s dividends. You should know about this, but do not spread it outside. The Shangguan Family prohibits information about the Valley’s Spirit Stone Vein from being spread, fearing that other tribes in the Eastern Wilderness will want to seize it.”

Liu Meizhen was both shocked and delighted.

She never imagined her man would be a secretly wealthy nobleman.

Furthermore.

Changsheng telling her such a secret clearly showed his complete trust in her, justifying her perseverance in the Liuu Family all those years.

”Meizhen, I have something for you too.”

Fu Changsheng patted his storage bag.

A flash of dawn light.

A white box with phoenix patterns hovered before Liu Meizhen:

”Meizhen, open it and take a look.”

Liu Meizhen’s heart raced, as no young woman doesn’t love gifts; she immediately opened the box with both hands, revealing a flash of red light—the Phoenix Crown and Red Dress.

Fu Changsheng smiled and said:

”The Phoenix Crown and Red Dress is a Tier One Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact. Once you perform sacrificial refinement, you can change its style and color at will. You can wear it not only on the wedding day, but also on regular days.”

Tier One Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact?!

Liu Meizhen almost exclaimed.

She was so moved that her eyes brimmed with tears.

Fu Changsheng embraced her and softly said:

”Four years ago, I vowed to marry you with great grandeur, and I will fulfill that promise. Meizhen, for the next six months, focus calmly on refining this Phoenix Crown and Red Dress, and wait for the day to become the most beautiful bride.”

The two of them shared tender moments for a while.

Nanny Liuu, watching discreetly from outside the door, occasionally peeked in, worried that Fu Changsheng’s youthful vigor might lead him to lose restraint. Once Fu Changsheng left, she promptly hurried into the guest room. When she saw the Phoenix Crown and Red Dress on the table, she paused, and upon hearing that it was a Tier One Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact, she was so astonished she couldn’t close her mouth:

”Oh my heavens, Miss, the young master is so generous and extravagant!”

Just spending thirty thousand Spirit Stones, now gifting a Tier One Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact.

She had previously worried that Miss would endure hardships after marriage, but now it seemed the good times were indeed ahead.

....

After Fu Changsheng came out of the guest room, he sought out his elder brother, Fu Changren, to discuss the wedding ceremony half a year away. Fu Changren chuckled and said:

”Patriarch, your wedding is the number one priority for the Fu Family right now. Rest assured, I began preparing a year ago, so you can simply focus on being the bridegroom and leave the rest to me.”

As per local customs.

The bride or groom does not involve themselves in wedding arrangements, which are entirely handled by the family’s elders.

Fu Changren, being the eldest brother, initially worried about lacking experience. Thus, he consulted clan elders among mortal families and prepared the guidelines a year ago.

”Then I’ll leave it to you, elder brother.”

Fu Changsheng clasped his hands in gratitude.

He decided to make a trip to the Nanyang Marketplace.

According to intelligence reports.

A certain Array Grandmaster with lost cultivation should have already arrived at the Nanyang Marketplace. The Fu Family lacks array inheritance, so if this person is reliable, recruiting them to train an Array Master would be best.

Moreover.

Right on Qilian Mountain there’s a colony of Illusion Jade Bees.

He must quickly retrieve them before someone else does.

Donning the Invisibility Cloak.

Fu Changsheng immediately left Luofeng Mountain.

Upon entering the marketplace.

The Hundred Treasures Pavilion of the Fu Family bustling with people came into view, lively as can be.

The Fu Family’s Spiritual Wine is unmatched in the marketplace, with the popular Recovery Spirit Wine being a Tier One Low-Grade Spirit Wine, affordably priced for Low-Tier Independent Cultivators while being practical, it has already made a name at the Nanyang Marketplace.

Since he came to the marketplace.

He naturally intended to check the shop.

The waiter noticed the presence of the main family member and hurried to greet him, but Fu Changsheng waved him off to serve the other guests while he headed to the backyard.

The backyard.

Molan was seated in meditation beneath the Spirit Tree, and her cultivation had already broken through to the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer.

Seeing she hadn’t noticed him entering.

He promptly withdrew.

At that moment.

A clamor arose from the shop.

Two Loose Cultivators entered, carrying a stretcher with a Qi Cultivation Second Layer Loose Cultivator who appeared deeply poisoned, his face notably pale.

The two Loose Cultivators placed the person in the center of the shop.

The one-eyed dragon Zuo Qiuming held up his wine gourd, saying:

”Mate, quickly call out your shopkeeper. My third brother drank your Recovery Spirit Wine and is now half-dead. You wicked fellows dare sell poisonous wine with no conscience!”

Their stance.

Clearly signaled they came to cause trouble.

Fu Changsheng stepped forward and coldly said:

”Our Fu Family’s Recovery Spirit Wine sells out within a month of each batch. Everyone else has no problem drinking it; how come your man particularly got poisoned?”

”Oh, so it’s the Fu Clan Leader himself.”

Zuo Qiuming, being in the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer and one layer higher than Fu Changsheng, squinted at him arrogantly:

”Fu Clan Leader, you ask me why your wine is poisonous—don’t you find it absurd?! The wine came from your shop, my third brother picked that poison from your wine, the evidence is clear. Even if the Enforcement Team comes, I’m not afraid.”

As he said.

He waved the wine gourd in his hand.

Suddenly.

A person shot out from the crowd, swiftly snatching the wine gourd from Zuo Qiuming’s hand, tilted their head back, and gulped it down.
