Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 474: Chapter 235: Breakthrough, Critical Intelligence, Exotic Treasure

Understanding the subtleties of the string.

Fu Changsheng quickly grasped Cao Xiang’er’s intentions.

Since the Yinan Tribe has produced several Great Cultivators of the Purple Mansion, there must be a method to break through to that level.

However.

With his current Eighth-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivation, involving himself in this great battle remains too dangerous.

Cao Xiang’er, seeing his hesitation, added another line:

”Attacking the Yinan Tribe requires at least a Noble Family of the Eighth Grade or higher to participate, and as for your worry about the Yinan Tribe’s Great Cultivators of the Purple Mansion, naturally, there will be someone to deal with them.”

With words spoken to this extent.

What more did Fu Changsheng have to hesitate about?

He nodded and said:

”Master, then I choose to join the campaign against the Yinan Tribe.”

”Hmm.”

Cao Xiang’er showed a trace of satisfaction on her face, raised her hand, and picked up the tea cup; this was a gesture to send the guest off.

”If Master has no other instructions, I will take my leave now.”

Fu Changsheng left the backyard.

He turned to take a look.

Mumbling in a low voice:

”This woman is truly...”

From beginning to end.

The other party showed no interest in knowing anything about her child.

Whether it was single-heartedly pursuing the Dao, or having a heart of stone, it was unknown.

Returning to the Reception Hall and waiting for a moment.

The sound of footsteps came from outside.

Focus on looking.

It was Yu Qingru, who was now promoted to the head of a Ninth-Grade Noble Family, slowly walking towards him.

She wore a deep red brocade long dress, embroidered with a phoenix, her hair styled in a phoenix bun, adorned with gold hairpins, resembling the Phoenix Goddess descending to the world.

Even her aura had transformed.

The original youthful restraint was now replaced by an aura of authority. Her eyes were deep and sharp, seemingly able to see through hearts, inspiring a sense of awe.

What did not change was.

Her attitude towards Fu Changsheng remained the same.

After both came out of the World Suppression Bureau, and returned to the backyard of the Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion, Yu Qingru then spoke:

”Changsheng, you were indeed correct. Although the Court granted the Ninth Grade title, no fiefdom was bestowed. However, the Court also provided corresponding compensation, that is, from now until three years after we accept the fiefdom, we do not need to pay any taxes.”

”Before the beast tide ends, our Yu Family probably still needs to remain in Demon-Defying City.”

After the insect tide outbreak.

The Yu Family members moved into Demon-Defying City.

With the beast tide imminent, having one more person means an additional strength, and Fu Changsheng naturally welcomed it.

After the two returned to the Pingshan County fiefdom.

Since all Noble Families were busy preparing for how to deal with the approaching beast tide, the Yu Family did not hold a celebration for the promotion to Ninth Grade.

After returning to the Patriarch’s Mansion, Fu Changsheng announced his seclusion to the public.

Entering the secret chamber.

At this moment, Fu Changlei was still consolidating his realm, and Fu Changsheng stood outside the stone chamber, thought for a while, and placed the previously obtained talisman array information at the door.

Currently.

He did not have a Thunder Attribute Technique.

After Fu Changlei’s breakthrough, he could study the talisman array. If the other party had this talent, whether it was entering a secret realm or traveling outside, having him nearby would certainly be convenient.

Without finding a method to control a clone.

He would absolutely not let the other leave his sight.

Turning around, he entered the chamber next to him.

With a wave of his sleeve.

Array flags fell, a technique was infused into the flags, and with a hum, they lit up with spirit light, forming a light shield that enveloped the chamber.

According to Cao Xiang’er’s words.

The second wave of the beast tide was estimated to break out within half a year.

In such a short time, he certainly could not master the Smoke Mist Illusion spirit technique, but by using Spirit Crystal Marrow to activate the Training Room, having more than a year should be sufficient for him to break through to the Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment.

The plan was set.

Fu Changsheng’s eyes fell on the control panel.

With a thought:

”Activate Training Room.”

Buzz!

The panel trembled.

A surge of yellow light burst forth.

In the next instant, his vision blurred.

The next moment, he appeared in the Quiet Chamber.

The familiar scent, and the familiar meditation cushion.

Fu Changsheng walked to the cushion and sat down.

Exhaling a cloud of turbid air from his body.

The True Liquid within his body began circulating along the Heaven and Earth Bridge in the Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique, starting from the dantian, flowing down the Leg Shao Yin Kidney Meridian, reaching the Yongquan Acupoint at the soles, and then returning to the dantian along the Leg Tai Yang Bladder Meridian on the outer side of the legs.

This cycle was meant to stimulate the foundation of his spiritual power, preparing the dantian to absorb external energy.

After completing this basic cycle.

The technique changed.

The surrounding Spiritual Qi seemed to be summoned, slowly gathering towards him. The red and cyan spiritual qi, like two vibrant ribbons.

The red Fire Attribute Spiritual Qi flowed in from the Baihui Acupoint at the top of the head, down the Du Meridian, while the cyan Wood Attribute Spiritual Qi entered from the Danzhong Acupoint at the chest, down the Ren Meridian.

These two spiritual qi converged at the dantian, entwined like two lively spiritual snakes.

When the True Liquid within him was about accumulated sufficiently.

Fu Changsheng felt a stirring in his heart:

”Let’s see if I can break through to the Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment on my own.”

If it’s not possible, then refining the Spirit Crystal Marrow would be the choice.

Taking a deep breath.

Following the route of the cultivation technique, guiding the flow of True Liquid to surge against the barrier obstructing his entry into the Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment.

However.

Every time he felt he was about to break through, it was always just slightly off. As though climbing a towering mountain, reaching close to the peak, yet always being blocked by an invisible force, unable to take that final step.

His meridians, from multiple attempts at breakthrough, ached faintly, and his spirit, through repeated failures, became utterly weary:

”It seems relying on external aids is essential after all.”

Fu Changsheng sighed softly.

His aptitude wasn’t particularly outstanding, being just an ordinary set of Three Spiritual Roots, trying to break through to Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment on his own was undeniably akin to scaling the heavens.
