Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 213: Chapter 147: The Mysterious Woman Returns, Preparations for Territory Construction, Lapis Lazuli

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

”Don’t be afraid, Dad is here.”

After crying for a while, perhaps because his emotions fluctuated too much, Brother Fan fell asleep while sobbing.

When Fu Changsheng came out of the Immortal Ascension Platform with the child, Liuu Meizhen saw Brother Fan, whose eyes were red from crying, and her heart skipped a beat, ”Husband, does Brother Fan have no spiritual root?”

If that were the case.

According to clan rules, Brother Fan would have to live in the mortal town.

Ten months of hard pregnancy, and now facing the separation of flesh and blood, Liuu Meizhen, as a mother, couldn’t bear it, so her voice unknowingly carried a trace of unprecedented panic.

Fu Changsheng quickly replied:

”Rest assured, all three children have spiritual roots.”

”That’s good, that’s good.”

Liuu Meizhen instantly breathed a sigh of relief, her gaze falling on Brother Fan, who was still shedding tears in his sleep. In her heart, she guessed that this child might have a Pseudo Spiritual Root, otherwise, Brother Fan, who never liked to cry, wouldn’t cry like this.

She handed Brother Rong in her arms to Fu Changsheng and held Brother Fan herself.

Since Brother Fan became sensible, he never let adults hold him. Among the three children, Brother Fan was the most diligent and sensible. She never expected Brother Fan to have the worst aptitude.

Liuu Meizhen quickly calculated in her heart.

Even if Brother Fan was a Pseudo Spiritual Root, with her as his Alchemist mother and a Foundation Establishment father, they must find a way to at least let Brother Fan cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Stage!

After bringing the three children back to the backyard.

Fu Changsheng took Liuu Meizhen to sit on a stone bench under the Silver Star Tree, thought for a long time, and then spoke:

”Meizhen, I plan to let Yaoyao and Brother Rong start following Grandmaster Yu from tomorrow to cultivate, what do you think?”

Grandmaster Yu’s identity was mysterious, and his strength before injury was certainly not to be underestimated. If Grandmaster Yu could personally teach Yaoyao and them, it would be most fortunate.

However.

Liuu Wanzhen feared that Brother Fan, who was left behind, might overthink:

”Husband, since you’re taking one, why not see if Grandmaster Yu can make an exception and take the three siblings to cultivate together?”

Fu Changsheng shook his head:

”Grandmaster Yu is already gravely injured, and with his upcoming construction of the Earth Fire House, setting up the Mountain Protection Array on the fief, numerous affairs are overwhelming. Taking Yaoyao and Brother Rong is just manageable; adding Brother Fan might be too much, and he may not be able to take care of him.”

”The most important point is.”

”If Brother Fan and his younger siblings all become disciples of Grandmaster Yu.”

”In the future, if his younger siblings’ cultivation advances rapidly while he remains stagnant, it would be even more cruel for him and might affect his future mental and emotional health.”

Fearing Meizhen might overthink.

Fu Changsheng continued:

”Meizhen, rest assured, Brother Fan has our support, and since he is naturally a hardworking and determined child, his cultivation won’t be slower than that of ordinary clan members. He is the eldest son and carries different responsibilities from Brother Rong and Yaoyao. By letting him cultivate with other suitable-aged clan members, we hope he forms strong bonds with the Yong Generation, who will grow up with him and be his partners in cultivation and assisting him in managing family responsibilities in the future.”

”Okay, then let it be as you say, husband.”

....

The next day.

Fu Changsheng opened his eyes from meditation.

He saw a little figure quietly carrying a small backpack leaving through the back door of the courtyard:

”Brother Fan?”

He thought the child would take a few days to recover from the shock, but he did not expect that the child got up even earlier than usual and went to the Academy without even having breakfast.

For a moment.

Fu Changsheng felt a mix of comfort and distress in his heart.

After having breakfast.

He went to the wine cellar at the back mountain.

Regarding the matter of apprenticeship.

It was only his personal idea, and he naturally had to seek Grandmaster Yu’s opinion.

He smiled, patting the storage bag, and with a flash of dawn light, several gourds floated towards Grandmaster Yu:

”Grandmaster Yu, since returning from the Wanning Marketplace, I’ve been busy in seclusion and forgot to deliver the Snowflake Wine, Cyan Mountain Wine, and Hundred Flowers Brew I bought from Wanning Marketplace to you. My apologies, please try these spiritual wines, and if any taste better to you, I’ll bring more for you next time I go.”

Grandmaster Yu’s eyes lit up upon seeing the spiritual wine, and he eagerly opened the Cyan Mountain Wine and took a sip, savoring it:

”Hmm, it’s stronger than Snowflake Wine but has a nice aftertaste. I, Yu, never take others’ drinks for free. Tell me, how can I help you?”

After listening to Fu Changsheng’s intention.

Grandmaster Yu looked at Fu Changsheng in surprise:

”Young Friend Fu, do you trust me that much? Aren’t you afraid I’ll lead your treasures astray?”

If Grandmaster Yu harbored ill intentions.

The intelligence system would have provided information long ago.

Besides, with Grandmaster Yu’s capabilities, if he truly wanted to harm the Fu Family, he would have done so long ago.

Fu Changsheng cupped his hands:

”With Grandmaster Yu’s character, Changsheng certainly trusts wholeheartedly. As a gesture of thanks, I’ll redouble my efforts to investigate the whereabouts of the Witch Snow Pill, hoping it will assist you, Grandmaster Yu, in recovery soon.”

Upon hearing about the Witch Snow Pill.

Grandmaster Yu’s originally lazy expression changed, raising an eyebrow:

”Alright, let Brother Rong and Yaoyao come to me once mid-month, but as for formal apprenticeship, let’s skip it.”

”Then I thank you on behalf of the children, Grandmaster Yu.”

Symbiotic Spirit Beast.

Half-Demon Child.

For Brother Rong and Yaoyao’s cultivation, he couldn’t be of much help.

With Grandmaster Yu guiding their cultivation, Fu Changsheng felt much more at ease, and he turned to ask: ”Grandmaster Yu, has the Ten Thousand Ghosts Array Map that I asked you to repair been completed?”

While passing by the back mountain.

The Sword Qi Mountain that once stood there was nowhere to be seen.

According to Meizhen’s words.

Grandmaster Yu had taken back Sword Qi Mountain over a year ago, using the repair of the array map as an excuse.

Grandmaster Yu waved his sleeve.

An array map suffused with supreme Sword Intent floated towards Fu Changsheng:

”This array map was heavily damaged. Even with the Cangming Stone you brought back, only one side was barely repaired. However, based on this foundation, I integrated Sword Qi Mountain into it, so even with only one side, its power is equivalent to a Tier Three Low-Grade Array. If you can find Lapis Lazuli, I can barely repair a second side, which, combined with the first, will further enhance its power, making it equivalent to a Tier Three Middle-Grade Array.”

”Lapis Lazuli?”

Fu Changsheng had never heard of it.

Seeing his puzzled expression, Grandmaster Yu formed a hand seal, and soon a small palm-sized stone with yin qi condensed mid-air.
