Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 223: Chapter 151: Counting the Spoils, Foundations of the Fief

Ping Xingliu paced back and forth in the Soul Hall, anxiously awaiting Ping Yunhen’s report on the situation in Thousand Cliff Mountain Canyon. It was unclear how much time had passed.

A sudden, urgent buzzing sound was heard.

The Communication Jade Talisman at his waist instantly lit up.

”Finally, it’s here.”

Ping Xingliu impatiently cast a technique into the Jade Talisman.

In the next moment.

Ping Yunhen’s somewhat panicked voice came through:

”Fourth Elder, there was a great battle in the Thousand Cliff Mountain Canyon. The canyon is destroyed, and the Golden-eyed Monkey is nowhere to be found. However, there is a scorch mark at the scene identical to the Primordial Alms Bowl, our clan’s Tier Three Spiritual Artifact.”

Primordial Alms Bowl?

Ping Xingliu was taken aback.

He clearly remembered that the Primordial Alms Bowl was lost when the Third Elder and the Yun Jie brothers went to Penglai Mountain. This was one of the few Spiritual Artifacts in the clan, and they naturally would not neglect it. After some investigation, it was discovered that the Third Elder and the Yun Jie brothers were likely killed by Shangguan Feng and Fu Changsheng.

At this moment.

Shangguan Feng and his daughter were participating in the battle at the Demon Cave.

The only possibility was that the Primordial Alms Bowl fell into Fu Changsheng’s hands.

Furthermore, Thousand Cliff Mountain was on Fu Changsheng’s path to his fiefdom, and the timing matched.

In other words.

The culprit who killed his second brother and Yunchong was Fu Changsheng:

”Little bastard!”

How dare he?!

Repeatedly challenging the bottom line of the Ping Family as a newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator:

Ping Xingliu was so furious that he smashed the Eight Immortals Osmanthus Wood Table into pieces with a single strike.

Fu Changsheng cannot be allowed to live.

Ping Xingliu quickly cast a technique, sending a message to the Ping Clan Leader in the Demon Cave, informing him of the situation. The Ping Clan Leader coldly responded:

”Proceed according to plan!”

.....

On the other side.

Once Fu Changsheng and his group were far enough from Thousand Cliff Mountain, they finally slowed their pace.

The tension in their minds relaxed.

Fu Changsheng took out Ping Xingyang’s storage bag.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense.

The first thing he saw was a barrel of Spiritual Ape Wine.

In addition.

There were one or two thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.

And three boxes.

With a flip of his right hand, the boxes fell into his hand. Accompanied by a few techniques, the restrictions on the three boxes were successively opened:

”Huh, what’s this?”

Inside the first box on the left was a red Spirit Fruit the size of an adult’s thumb, with faint fire patterns flickering on the fruit, containing abundant Spiritual Qi.

After sensing it for a moment.

Fu Changsheng’s eyes lit up:

”It’s actually a Tier Two Middle-Grade Fire Mulberry Fruit!”

The Fire Mulberry Fruit does not need to be made into medicine; it can be consumed and refined right after being picked. For cultivators practicing Fire Attribute techniques, it’s an excellent supplement.

This alone.

He was already very satisfied with the trip to Thousand Cliff Mountain.

With the Fire Mulberry Fruit.

His cultivation would certainly advance significantly.

To prevent the Spiritual Qi from leaking out, he quickly cast several techniques into the box, resealing the Fire Mulberry Fruit.

His gaze fell on the second box.

Inside was a palm-sized four-petal black velvet flower.

The velvet flower exuded a faint wisp of Yin Spiritual Qi, most likely picked by Ping Xingyang in the Demon Cave. However, in his memory, there was no record of this Spirit Flower.

He immediately sealed the velvet flower.

The last box contained a bowl-sized Crystal Stone.

After sensing it for a moment.

Fu Changsheng’s eyes lit up:

”It’s actually a Tier Two Top-Grade Copper Essence.”

Tier Two Top-Grade Copper Essence is a raw material refined by Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators using True Flame from pure copper, and it is hard to come by in the Marketplace.

Fu Changsheng’s lips curled up slightly.

This piece of Copper Essence could be used in the Lifebound Spiritual Artifact he was about to refine.

Besides.

Ping Xingyang, possibly just returning from the Demon Cave and having fought a battle with the Golden-eyed Monkey King, had exhausted all the talismans, pills, and Magical Artifacts on him.

Fu Changsheng carried that barrel of Spiritual Ape Wine onto the Flying Ship.

Grandmaster Yu’s nose twitched.

He immediately said:

”This is Spiritual Ape Wine?!”

While speaking.

He cast a technique with his right hand.

Mana was cast onto the wine barrel, and the lid was opened.

Grandmaster Yu took a sniff, his face immediately changed, and he quickly closed the lid again, furious: ”Which little brat put Thousand-meter Incense in this perfectly fine Spiritual Ape Wine? Truly a waste!”

Upon hearing this, Fu Changsheng.

Couldn’t help but give a thumbs up to Grandmaster Yu in his heart.

Without him saying a word.

The other party immediately identified that there was Thousand-meter Incense in the Spiritual Ape Wine, indicating that Grandmaster Yu must have a significant background, so he said:

”Uncle Yu, if this perfectly fine Spiritual Wine can’t be consumed because of the Thousand-meter Incense, it would be a waste. You, with your vast knowledge, do you have any way to remove the Thousand-meter Incense from the Spiritual Ape Wine?”

”Let me think.”

Grandmaster Yu furrowed his brows.

After a while.

He clapped his hands in joy:

”Got it, Thousand-meter Incense is a Pure Yin Object. As long as you find a Pure Yang Object and put it in, the combination of Yin and Yang will neutralize the medicinal properties. As for the Pure Yang Spiritual Object, it doesn’t need to be of a high tier, as long as it is of the same tier as Thousand-meter Incense, Tier Two Low-Grade will do.”

Fu Changsheng silently noted this down.

He immediately took out the black velvet flower and asked Grandmaster Yu to identify it.

Grandmaster Yu glanced at it and said:

”This is a Ghost Cherry Blossom, the main ingredient for refining Tier Two Low-Grade Ghost Cherry Pill.”

”Uncle Yu, what’s the use of the Ghost Cherry Pill?”

Fu Changsheng had never heard of it.

Grandmaster Yu glanced at the Human Emperor Banner hanging from Fu Changsheng’s waist and said:

”The Ghost Cherry Pill is used by Ghost Cultivators to break through to Tier Two, similar to how we cultivators use the Foundation Establishment Pill to break through to Foundation Establishment.”

Such a Spirit Pill exists.

Fu Changsheng was quite enlightened.

At the same time, he realized.

He finally understood why Autumn Cicada failed to reach Tier Two. Initially, he thought it was because the Yin Spirit Qi in the previous Hundred Ghosts Banner was insufficient, but now it seemed that a Spirit Pill was needed as an aid.

However.

This was the first time he had heard of the Ghost Cherry Pill.
