Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Founding the Academy and Constructing the Spirit Testing Platform

Wu Clan Leader saw Lei Clan Leader’s expression and jumped with fright, knowing full well his cousin was devising something, eager to speak as they distanced themselves from Luofeng Mountain:

”Cousin, what were you thinking just now?”

”Thinking about the Noble Family Grand Competition.”

There are only a few months left until the competition.

But overall, the Lei Family is evidently still the strongest among the Five Great Families.

Wu Clan Leader was puzzled:

”Cousin, in terms of strength, your Lei Family is undoubtedly the top among the Five Great Families, what’s there to worry about?”

His concern wasn’t this competition.

But the rise of the Fu Family.

Today’s event was to personally verify the rumored friendship between Shangguan Feng and Fu Changsheng, which upon observation, was indeed deep.

If the Fu Family continues to develop.

Perhaps next time, the top rank of the Grand Competition may change hands.

With Shangguan Feng’s support, the Fu Family becoming the top among the Five Great Families in Anyang County is certain, he must find ways to prevent this.

After pondering for a while.

Lei Clan Leader instantly devised an excellent plan, smiling:

”Brother, immediately send invitations to Liuu Family, Zhang Family, and Fu Family, saying the competition is near, and ask them to send representatives to discuss matters regarding the Noble Family Grand Competition.”

According to tradition.

The host of the previous competition is the next host.

Wu Clan Leader couldn’t grasp what his cousin was planning, but still nodded in response.

....

Luofeng Mountain.

Fu Changsheng got out of bed, still not having enough of last night’s passionate indulge.

Just then.

A familiar mechanical voice resonated in his mind again:

”Ding”

”You have contributed to the clan by spreading seeds for triplets, earning six Clan Contribution Points.”

This is....

Fu Changsheng was momentarily stunned.

Who would have thought?

He and Meizhen were in the room for just one night, and she’s already pregnant.

Instantly delighted.

After getting out of bed.

He repeatedly reminded Meizhen to take care of her health, making Nanny Liuu chuckle:

”Master, you’ve just been together, no way she’s pregnant already.”

But she noted it down, planning to instruct the kitchen not to prepare cooling dishes.

Fu Changsheng took Liuu Mei into the Ancestral Hall, paid respects to the ancestors, and then thought of taking her to meet the clan elders.

Suddenly, an urgent buzzing sound came from his waist.

It was the Clan Leader Jade Talisman lighting up.

A technique was injected.

Wu Clan Leader’s voice was heard:

”All Patriarchs, please attend the teahouse in Nanyang Marketplace in three days to discuss the Noble Family Grand Competition’s rules.”

Fu Changsheng was momentarily taken aback.

He recalled there’s roughly half a year until the competition, why start discussions so early, and remembered Lei Clan Leader from yesterday’s banquet, sensing something unusual.

After visiting the clan elders and returning from the mountain.

Liuu Meizhen hesitated, then spoke:

”Husband, there is something important I want to discuss with you.”

Important matter?

Fu Changsheng looked at Liuu Meizhen in confusion.

Liuu Meizhen seemed to have considered this deeply, speaking confidently:

”Including Runzhi, the Fu Family has only eight people, and the clan needs guardians for the Yanyang Woodland, operators for the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, the Brewery lacks manpower, dozens of acres of Spirit Field keep Brother busy, there are too many mundane affairs, everyone wishes they had eight clones, this is not sustainable.”

”I believe it’s time to hold the Immortal Ascension Assembly, only continuous influx of new blood can free skilled clan members from miscellaneous affairs and focus on cultivation and skills, thus, constructing the Spirit Testing Platform has become the immediate priority for the clan.”

Fu Family’s Spirit Testing Platform was destroyed during the Celestial Dragon Tribe’s invasion.

Due to this.

The Fu Family’s annual Immortal Ascension Assembly has been halted for six years.

Additionally, since Fu Changsheng became Patriarch, he issued policies encouraging more offspring, now eligible clan members for spiritual root testing have accumulated to over thirty thousand.

But without the Spirit Testing Platform.

This matter cannot be carried out.

Liuu Meizhen’s words immediately awakened Fu Changsheng.

He nodded hurriedly.

However.

Given Meizhen brought this up, there must be more to her thoughts:

”Meizhen, do you have any ideas?”

”To be honest, husband, I wish to build an Academy at our Clan Mountain, all clan members found with spiritual roots would be enrolled there, centralized management, teaching according to aptitude, nurturing talents for various aspects needed by the clan.”

”Of course”

”The Dean of this Academy can only be you, husband.”

In other words.

From a long-term viewpoint.

Liuu Meizhen intends to foster generations loyal to Fu Changsheng and the Fu Family.

After half speaking.

Liuu Meizhen took out a thick book from her bosom, the cover worn out, showing she had the idea since her time with Liuu Family.

Fu Changsheng flipped through a few pages.

Found the contents orderly, even the Academy rules clear and detailed, evidently crafted with great effort.

Fu Changsheng smiled:

”Meizhen, the Academy’s establishment will be your responsibility, request anything you need from Brother, the clan’s treasury keys are with him.”

Mentioning Fu Changren.

Fu Changsheng recalled yesterday’s Liuu Clan Leader.

Brother’s temperament is still too gentle, even less decisive than Molan, he plans to have Meizhen involved more in managing the clan’s mundane affairs.

Upon returning to the Clan Mountain.

Fu Changsheng immediately went to the mountain cellar to find Grandmaster Yu, seeking assistance in constructing the Spirit Testing Platform.

Activated the Array.

Saw Grandmaster Yu drunk, sprawled on the ground.

Upon seeing Fu Changsheng enter, he chuckled:

”Groom, come, I toast to you.”

Fu Changsheng upon seeing this, pressed his right hand on Grandmaster Yu’s back, attempting to channel True Qi to sober him, but was astonished that Grandmaster Yu’s body felt impenetrable, his True Qi couldn’t enter at all.

Grandmaster Yu then hiccupped, seeming suddenly lucid:

”Young Friend Fu, what wedding gift you wish for, speak it.”

”Grandmaster Yu, do you know how to construct a Spirit Testing Platform?”

The Spirit Testing Platform requires an Array Master of Tier Two or above, to connect the Earth Vein and inscribe complex arrays, remembering his grandfather mentioned their clan’s Spirit Testing Platform took three years and nearly eight thousand Spirit Stones to forge.

Grandmaster Yu thought it was a major task.

Upon hearing it was to build a Spirit Testing Platform, he appeared relaxed:

”Purchase one Tier Two Demon Beast Essence Blood, and secondly Tier Two High-Grade Cangming Stone....”

Grandmaster Yu listed many items.

Besides the primary material being Tier Two Cangming Stone, and Tier Two Demon Beast talisman blood for inscription, everything else was Tier One material.

Tier One materials are manageable, Molan can purchase them at the marketplace.

But Tier Two Demon Beast Essence Blood isn’t available at Nanyang Marketplace, and Tier Two High-Grade Cangming Stone likewise, needing to be purchased at the more distant Wanning Marketplace.

Both are Tier Two Spiritual Objects with undoubtedly high prices.

Fu Changsheng noted them down, planning to find an opportunity to investigate the prices at Wanning Marketplace.

After handling clan mundane affairs.

Finally, it’s time for the Five Great Families Clan Leaders’ meeting.

Just before departing, thinking it over, Fu Changsheng decided with a thought:

”Exchange for intelligence!”
