Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 217: Chapter 149: Critical Intelligence, Heading to the Fief, Golden-eyed Monkey

Fu Changsheng saw Fu Yongfu drenched in cold sweat, his face pale. The other party had obviously misunderstood his intention, so he quickly shook his head:

”Your mother is fine. I’m here to discuss something else with you.”

Hearing this, Fu Yongfu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Fu Changsheng took out a stack of Xuan paper from his sleeve.

On the Xuan paper were inscribed runes:

”I heard from the Academy’s Master that the Dust-removal Talisman runes on this Xuan paper were drawn by you. Although you didn’t use talisman paper and cinnabar, judging by how you put pen to paper, you have an exceptional talent for talisman making.”

Molan only attended one Talisman Making class at the Academy.

At the Academy, they only demonstrated the making of the Dust-removal Talisman once. Later, being busy with puppet making and cultivation, they never taught at the Academy again.

But Fu Yongfu, even from just one lesson, grasped the key to making the Dust-removal Talisman, evidently truly gifted:

”From now on, you’ll study the art of talisman making with me.”

As he spoke, he handed over a box with a white rune on it to him:

”This Ancient Cultivator Talisman Brush in the box was something I purchased back when I was at the Qi Cultivation Second Layer at the Nanyang Marketplace, and it has enhancing effects for making Tier One Talismans. I now bestow it upon you, hoping you...”

Fu Changsheng’s subsequent words seemed to come from afar.

Fu Yongfu could no longer hear clearly.

Because he had never thought that he had a talent for talisman making, nor had he thought he would be so fortunate as to become the Patriarch’s first disciple, and even receive a gift from him!

The series of surprises came too swiftly.

Unprepared mentally, he felt his head buzzing, his feet like stepping on cotton, his body light as if he were falling from the cloud’s pinnacle.

”Yongfu?”

It wasn’t until he heard Fu Changsheng’s call again by his ear.

That he snapped out of the enormous surprise.

He muddily went through half a day before confirming that everything before him was not a dream!

He finally wasn’t a worthless nobody.

Immediately, he concentrated fully, focusing on engraving every word Fu Changsheng spoke into his mind.

This went on for just under ten days.

He was seen to make a Dust-removal Talisman flow like water, successfully made, and subsequent Dust-removal Talismans all came to fruition in one go, with a success rate of one hundred percent.

In less than a month.

Fu Yongfu successfully advanced to a Tier One Middle-Grade Talisman Maker.

If it weren’t for his insufficient mana, advancing to a Tier One High-Grade Talisman Maker wouldn’t be impossible. Such a talent in talisman making truly surprised Fu Changsheng, and he handed over his own work, ”Talisman Making Notes,” to him:

”Yongfu, this records my insights from a Tier One Low-Grade Talisman Maker to a Tier Two Middle-Grade Talisman Maker. Please accept it. Even without me by your side, with the guidance from this book, given your talent in talisman making, advancing to a Tier Two Talisman Maker won’t be an issue.”

Fu Yongfu accepted it with a thousand thanks.

For him, the Patriarch.

Was undoubtedly a reborn parent!

With this talisman-making skill, he can earn Spirit Stones to purchase pills and Spirit Fruits for cultivation. As his cultivation increases, so will his rank as a Talisman Maker.

All this is thanks to the Patriarch, his guide.

Fu Changsheng gave a few more words of advice before serving tea to see the guest out.

At the same time.

A familiar mechanical voice echoed in his mind:

”Ding”

”You gave the Ancient Cultivator Talisman Brush and ’Talisman Making Notes’ to a clan member and successfully guided a talisman-making prodigy onto the path of a Talisman Maker. Fu Yongfu is deeply grateful and wholeheartedly convinced of you as the Patriarch, earning you one hundred Contribution Points.”

At the same time.

The Contribution Points on the panel changed to four hundred sixty.

Fu Changsheng looked at the panel’s Contribution Points and was slightly stunned, never expecting to gain such a large value all at once. It proved, from a certain perspective, that this child Yongfu could definitely go far on the path of a Talisman Maker:

”With one month’s time before the journey, I could use this interval to refine the Solid Essence Pill.”

That place of the fiefdom is indeed a perilous land.

Improving one’s strength even slightly is crucial.

He immediately decided without hesitation:

”Activate the [Training Room]”

Buzz!

The panel vibrated.

A lot of yellow light surged, and instantly his vision blurred.

The next moment.

He appeared in the system’s [Training Room], sat on the meditation mat, exhaled a turbid breath from his body, and then took the Solid Essence Pill.

In cultivation, years pass without notice.

As if in the blink of an eye.

The three-month time in the system elapsed.

When Fu Changsheng opened his eyes again, he was already outside the system in the secret chamber.

At this time.

The panel vibrated.

A line of text appeared:

”Foundation Establishment Stage: Third Layer (15/100)”

From the panel data, it’s not hard to see that to break through to the Fourth-Layer Foundation Establishment requires more than double the True Essence compared to before:

”No wonder people say that the gap between the Fourth-Layer Foundation Establishment and the Third-Layer Foundation Establishment is an insurmountable chasm. It indeed seems that way now!”

To break through to the Fourth-Layer Foundation Establishment.

He needs to seek more spiritual pills.

Otherwise, even with the system’s [Training Room] enhancement, relying solely on meditation to cultivate, it probably would still take five years to break through to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment:

”It’s time to set out for the fief.”

However.

Before setting off.

He still needs to update some intelligence.

Using the system’s [Training Room] function once, it consumed a hundred Contribution Points, leaving three hundred sixty, enough to exchange for sufficient intelligence:

[1: The Battle of the Demon Cave has entered the final stage; Shangguan Hongyu planned to come to escort your Fu Family to the fief but couldn’t break away.]

[2: Your third brother married a Lin Family girl, who was thinking of using her pregnancy to get your third brother to take out some brewing recipes to support her maternal family, but your third brother sternly refused and warned his wife that if she had such thoughts again, they would divorce immediately.]
