Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 238: Chapter 156: Planning, Counting Gains, and Breaking Through

Pingshan County.

In the secret chamber, the Ping Clan Leader couldn’t shake off the feeling of unrest and couldn’t calm down to heal his injuries, so he decided to leave and sat idly in the Soul Hall.

No one knows how much time had passed.

Suddenly, the Ping Clan Leader felt a gust of eerie wind behind him.

He turned his head.

Only to see Ping Xingliu looking at him apologetically:

”Fourth Brother, you’re back!”

The Ping Clan Leader finally put his anxious heart at ease.

Seeing Ping Xingliu’s face full of guilt.

Thinking that he might have failed to buy the needed items, he quickly smiled and said:

”The things in the Ghost Market aren’t unique in the world, as long as you have Spirit Stones, there’s no fear of not being able to buy them. Come in quickly, don’t just stand there.”

The Ping Clan Leader smiled, stood up, and took a few steps forward to pull Ping Xingliu into the hall.

But.

As he approached.

He noticed a trail of fresh blood seeping from Ping Xingliu’s brow.

Two streams of bloody tears flowed down swiftly.

Immediately.

The eerie wind blew past, and everything in front of him disappeared:

”Fourth Brother!”

The Ping Clan Leader exclaimed in shock.

When he opened his eyes.

He found himself still sitting on the meditation mat.

Everything just now was a dream.

The Ping Clan Leader suddenly raised his head to look at the Life Soul Lamp on the altar, only to see Ping Xingliu’s plaque slightly tremble, and the lamp flame extinguished with a puff.

Fourth Brother is dead?

This...

How is this possible?!

To be safe, before Fourth Brother set off, he specially gave him the Tier Three Spirit Talisman from the clan.

Only their three families and the Cloud Soaring Tribe had entered the Ghost Market.

How could Fourth Brother have fallen?!

What exactly happened?!

With the death of the fourth brother, the Ping Family now only had two Foundation Establishment members left, and they were both still gravely injured.

The Ping Clan Leader tried hard to suppress his turbulent emotions, to calm himself down, while quickly taking out the Communication Jade Talisman, and infused it with a technique: ”Yuntian, quickly go towards Ghostly Wail Ridge and check for any signs of Dharma Combat!”

With Fourth Brother’s fall.

It’s highly likely the Cloud Soaring Tribe had brought reinforcements.

The Cao Family and the Hee Family were allies, it was impossible for them to backstab when all three families were struggling.

He was about to take out the Communication Jade Talisman to contact the Cao Family and Hee Family when both families sent messages at the same time.

Upon learning that the two Foundation Establishment members sent to the Cao and Hee families had also fallen.

The Ping Clan Leader’s pupils contracted, and he gritted his teeth to transmit his voice:

”Brother Hee, Brother Cao, only our three families and the Cloud Soaring Tribe knew about the Ghost Market. Xingliu and the others’ deaths at Ghostly Wail Ridge are most likely the work of the Cloud Soaring Tribe! How daring of them to provoke us, this enmity cannot go unavenged!”

”Brother Ping, I learned from a spy that the Cloud Soaring Tribe has somehow obtained two portions of Foundation Establishment Main Medicine, if we’re going to act, it should be soon!”

Words from the Cao Clan Leader were transmitted.

In his speech, it was vaguely led by the three families, clearly seeing through the current situation of the Ping Family.

The Ping Clan Leader’s eyes narrowed slightly:

”Everything listens to Brother Cao!”

The three of them discussed for a while.

After about one or two days.

Yuntian, who went to Ghostly Wail Ridge, sent back news:

”Patriarch, about a hundred miles away from Ghostly Wail Ridge, Qiuya Mountain was set on fire intentionally.”

At first glance.

This was precisely the style of the Cloud Soaring Tribe!

The Ping Clan Leader immediately became more convinced that the culprit was indeed the Cloud Soaring Tribe.

....

Cloud Soaring Tribe.

Elder Kunm returned from the Ghost Market.

Excitedly heading straight for the Back Mountain Forbidden Area, opening the Restriction, a rush of hot air hit his face, layer upon layer of arrays opened, revealing an Earth Fire Chamber.

In the Earth Fire Chamber.

An old Daoist with gray hair sat cross-legged.

Elder Kunm glanced at the ten pill bottles placed on the Broken String Table, a hint of joy appeared on his face, he waved his sleeve, and the full box of herbs placed on the other side was collected:

”Shutong, from today onward, you temporarily don’t need to refine the Autumn Cloud Pill.”

Speaking.

A pat on the storage bag.

A flash of Dawn Light.

An ancient jade scroll slowly floated towards Elder Medicine:

”This is the Foundation Establishment Pill Recipe, study it carefully. In half a year, I will send you a complete set of Foundation Establishment Pill. This time, as long as you can successfully refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, then our Cloud Soaring Tribe will set you free, and you, Yueniang, and Yaya can go wherever you want. However... if anything goes wrong with this furnace of Foundation Establishment Pill, then Yaya may meet an early death.”

Finished speaking.

Elder Kunm laughed heartily and turned to leave.

The always-closed-eyed Shi Shutong suddenly opened his eyes, a calculating gleam flashed quickly in his eyes.

...

Yunshan County.

After Fu Changsheng returned to Supreme Profound Peak, he went directly into the secret chamber.

After activating the array.

With a flip of his palm.

Ping Xingliu’s storage bag appeared in his hand.

This time, going to the Ghost Market.

He successfully bought the Red Tobacco that could neutralize Spiritual Ape Wine, and additionally obtained Demon Condensing Pill, Ghost Cherry Pill Recipe, and also a Tier Three Alchemist’s Alchemy Manual, which was quite a fruitful haul.

The moment he took out a few items.

His mind slightly trembled.

A familiar mechanical voice sounded in his mind:

”Ding”

”You have added to the clan a Pure Yang Object, Red Tobacco, a sheet of Demon Condensing Pill, Ghost Cherry Pill Recipe, and Tier Three Alchemist’s Notes, earning 500 Contribution Points.”

Immediately after.

The Contribution Points on the panel instantly changed from 404 to 904.

Looking at the rising Contribution Points on the panel, Fu Changsheng’s smile deepened.

His gaze fell on the storage bag in his hand.

With excitement and anticipation.

A pat on the storage bag.

A flash of Dawn Light immediately appeared.

Five or six boxes floated in front of him.

Fu Changsheng’s eyes instantly landed on that white wooden patterned box, casting technique after technique, lifting the Restriction, a familiar sandalwood scent rushed to his face, and upon closer inspection, it contained the Soul Condensing Incense which was sold for four thousand low-grade Spirit Stones at the Ghost Market.
