Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 383: Chapter 204: Seven-Aperture Exquisite Fruit, Critical Intelligence, Fairy Woman (Part 3)

.....

In the bamboo forest.

The Xu family camp.

Xu Changzhi was quietly flattering Xu Changqing, who was seated on a fox recliner:

”Young Clan Leader, Changling Garden is just less than forty miles ahead of us. If you wish to rest, why not take what’s inside first and then rest? After all, this matter concerns the Xu family’s rise and fall over a hundred years. Before the Patriarch left, he strictly instructed to successfully retrieve the items from Changling Garden.”

”Changling Garden is right before us. Do you think it will grow legs and run away? You’ve served this young master for so long, don’t you know I need a nap after eating?”

Xu Changqing impatiently closed his eyes.

Ever since entering the Secret Realm, he had not encountered Shangguan Hongyu, who occupied his mind, and now he was quite irritable. Moreover, he had just had a fierce battle with the venomous serpent in the Ink Pool and was feeling very exhausted.

If it were an ordinary time.

Xu Changzhi would never defy Xu Changqing, but the Foundation Establishment Pill from Changling Garden was extremely important, so he had to muster the courage and softly say:

”Young Clan Leader, don’t forget, before you left, you made a military pledge with the Patriarch. If you fail to get the items from Changling Garden this time, you must give up the position of Young Clan Leader for the Second Young Master to inherit.”

The Patriarch doesn’t have only one son.

If not for the fact that the Young Clan Leader’s mother and Nanny Xu are close friends, and after Nanny Xu gained influence in the World Suppression Bureau, the Xu family decided on the eldest son as the Young Clan Leader through comprehensive consideration.

But once the Young Clan Leader makes a mistake.

Those old guys in the clan would definitely use this to support the more outstanding Second Young Master to take the position.

Xu Changqing, already irritable, suddenly stood up from his seat and glared angrily:

”Xu Changzhi, do you dare threaten me with the position of Young Clan Leader?!”

”Young Clan Leader, I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare”

Xu Changzhi was also momentarily anxious and forgot that this person before him hated being threatened the most.

He really messed up due to his impatience.

While thinking about how to calm this master down.

Suddenly.

A fragrance drifted over from the forest.

Xu Changqing looked up.

In the forest, leaves were falling, and a celestial woman descended slowly from the forest.

The woman wore a silk gown embroidered with exquisite peonies, lightly brushing over her barely visible curves like the moon through clouds, radiating a pure light.

Her face seemed to be a masterpiece crafted by the heavens, her skin fairer than snow, lips like cherry blossoms, her brows and eyes carried a hint of accidental charm. Her phoenix eyes seemed able to captivate and daunt, sparkling with bright and profound light, seeming to pierce through the darkness of the heart, reaching into the depths of the soul.

Her long hair cascaded gently, dancing with the breeze, exuding a subtle fragrance that intoxicated the senses. Each step she took, each glance she cast, revealed her extraordinary demeanor and innate allure.

Xu Changqing was stunned:

”Where did this Immortal come from?”

Among the female cultivators in the Secret Realm.

He remembered Shangguan Hongyu to be the most attractive, but compared to this Immortal before him, she was nothing.

Xu Changqing hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his hands and said:

”I am Xu Changqing, Young Clan Leader of the Ninth-Grade Noble Family in North Huai Prefecture. May I know how to address the Immortal?”

”Lin Yinyin”

”So it is Fairy Lin. Since we have met by fate, would the Immortal be inclined to share a drink with me?”

Beside them, Xu Changzhi watched as Fu Molan captivated their Young Clan Leader, feeling that it was a bad situation. He had already angered the other party once, and if he intervened now and spoiled things, he would be in trouble.

Xu Changzhi felt a bit uneasy and, while Xu Changqing was not paying attention, signaled to three clansmen to head to Changling Garden first.

...

On the other side.

Fu Changsheng and his group arrived at the location marked on the map at the fastest speed, but upon looking around, there was merely a small hill and no Spirit Medicine Garden in sight.

Fu Changsheng, however, did not believe the system would provide wrong information:

”Miss Qingru, please set up a formation to hide spiritual mechanisms on the hill first, and then check if there’s a hidden Illusion Array within it?”

”Yes, Patriarch”

Yu Qingru immediately flicked her sleeve, and the Four Symbols Black Tortoise Array Map hovered in mid-air. As a series of Techniques were infused into it, with a buzzing sound, the hill was instantly covered by the array map. The overturned light shield flickered slightly and then disappeared, making it impossible to see the inside from the outside.

Yu Qingru took out the Survey Array Plate.

Quickly, a series of Techniques were infused into it, and the Survey Array Plate rapidly rotated around the hill.

Fu Changsheng watched the surroundings vigilantly.

Meanwhile, a thought arose in his heart:

”It seems I need to find time to learn some Array Skills in the future.”

Becoming a Talisman Array Master inherently requires knowledge of arrays.

This is secondary.

The most important thing is, judging from these repeated experiences in the Secret Realm, if he himself understands the Path of Array, it would be much more convenient.

After all.

He couldn’t bring an Array Master with him on every outing.

The Path of Array.

For them, it is undoubtedly extremely important.

Buzz!

As Yu Qingru placed array flags and the array plate, suddenly, a surge of yellow sand rose from the original hill. Through the yellow sand, they could faintly see a Spirit Medicine Garden.

Fu Changli’s eyes lit up:

”Patriarch, there is indeed a Spirit Medicine Garden hidden in the Yellow Sand Array.”

The words had barely left his mouth.

”Roar!”

From the Yellow Sand Array emerged a giant serpent, roaring at them continuously.

Yu Qingru’s face turned slightly pale:

”Patriarch, to enter the array, we need to break the array hub formed by the giant serpent!”

The giant serpent possessed Quasi-Tier Three Cultivation.

Fu Changsheng’s Primordial Alms Bowl was already destroyed, and the Purple Qi Divine Light was exhausted. If he used the Nine-Transformation Divine Lamp Summoning Technique now, he’d be powerless if the Xu family charged up after his mana was depleted.

Thus.

He hardly hesitated at all.

With a flip of his right hand.

The Suzhi Saber appeared in his hand.

This was originally Liang Zhitang’s Quasi-Tier Three Spiritual Artifact, troublesome to keep, and at this moment, it was just the right tool.

In his mouth, he began to chant a spell.

Pointing the Suzhi Saber.

Buzz!

The Suzhi Saber quivered slightly.

Transforming into a rainbow light, it rushed towards the giant serpent condensing in mid-air.

Along with a soft utterance from Fu Changsheng’s mouth:

”Explode!”

Rumble!

In the next instant.

The giant serpent was engulfed in a terrifying explosion, and a massive mushroom cloud rose slowly into the sky.

The array plate in Yu Qingru’s hand swiftly dropped onto the Celestial Qian Position. The swirling yellow sand immediately ceased, revealing before them a Spirit Medicine Garden rich with Spiritual Qi.
