Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 912: Chapter 337: Blood Pool Formation Secrets

”If we still rely on the power of the three of us, trying to open this barrier again will probably take even longer than before.”

”Doesn’t that mean Father will be trapped inside?”

Father is a pillar of the clan; nothing must happen to him.

Yaoyao hesitated and said:

”Aunt Yu, Uncle Chang Lei, I think we must report this matter to my mother.”

.....

Buzz!

Fu Changsheng felt a whirl in his surroundings, then suddenly found himself in a pitch-black space. With a flick of his index finger, several Moonstones fell onto the stone walls on either side, illuminating everything in front of him:

”This is.....”

But he saw directly in front of him.

A transparent light shield was overturned, revealing a Blood Pool within the array. Fresh blood flowed, with eerie runes floating up and down:

”Could this Blood Pool be the method mentioned in the system for cultivating the Blood Talisman Spirit Body?”

He walked in a circle.

But did not find a way to activate the Blood Pool.

The Cave Mansion ruins seemed to contain only this one Blood Pool:

”The intelligence clearly mentioned that there should also be a Thousand Soul Jade here.”

Fu Changsheng searched everywhere but found nothing.

He murmured:

”It seems I’ll need to study the Path of Array in the future, otherwise I’ll be stuck at every turn.”

His thoughts fell upon the Sea of Divine Sense panel.

He immediately said:

”Exchange intelligence.”

Buzz!

The panel trembled.

A large amount of yellow light surged.

Then, lines of text appeared:

[1: The Cave Mansion Barrier is ever-changing. After you entered, it has re-closed. It can only be opened by a Tier Four Array Master]

What?

Fu Changsheng was momentarily stupefied.

If so.

Does that mean he is to be trapped in these ruins for a long time?

Fu Changsheng glanced at the Shadow Gate Mask in his storage bag. If things truly became critical, he’d have to contact Meizhen to ask Uncle Yu to come out once.

[2: Only by absorbing the mysterious talisman blood from the Blood Pool and refining it into a Blood Talisman Spirit Body, can the real ruins be opened. The Blood Pool array requires blood as a guide, combined with the Celestial Qian Seven Steps Technique, which is engraved on one side of the stone wall]

[3: The Kunlun Mini World will open in two years]

[4: Shangguan Li learned of Shangguan Feng’s awakening and urgently returned from the Celestial Woe Tribe to the fief]

[5: The main ingredient for the Cloud-Breaking Pill is planted in the Thousand Feather Mountain within the Kunlun Mini World, but the area has an array set by the predecessors of the Celestial Yin Tribe]

[6: Cao Xiang’er spent most of her accumulated Court Merit Points to find a fragmented map of the Kunlun Mini World periphery in the Scripture Pavilion]

[7:...]

...

Fu Changsheng scanned through the information above.

His eyes fell once again on the second line, brightening slightly:

”Indeed this is not the true location of the ruins.”

However.

The surprise was.

The intelligence mentioned that the Celestial Qian Seven Steps Technique to open the Blood Pool was supposedly engraved on one side, yet he had already examined several times:

”Could it be....hidden behind the stone wall?”

Fu Changsheng formed a seal with his right hand, sending waves of mana onto the surrounding walls, causing dust and stone to fall. The stone wall, originally covered in vines, suddenly revealed its inner side. Upon a closer look, he indeed saw a cultivation technique engraved on the southwest stone wall:

”The Celestial Qian begins with intention, standing rooted and condensing energy. Extend arms to embrace the vast universe, keep the heart at the Dantian to awaken true spirituality.”

The first step is to take a stance.

The intention is to adjust posture, stand with feet shoulder-width apart, rooted to the ground, arms slowly lifting as if embracing the heavens, while eliminating distractions, focusing thoughts at the Dantian, and awakening the hidden energy within:

”It doesn’t seem too difficult.”

But the entire cultivation process is extremely tedious.

It is divided into seven steps.

Based on the final results.

This cultivation technique aims to adjust the cultivator’s physique, preparing for the Devouring and Refining of the mysterious talisman blood from the Blood Pool:

”I wonder how long it will take to practice specifically.”

There are still two years.

Until the Kunlun Mini World opens.

He cannot stay in this place for extended periods.

He immediately let his thoughts fall on the Sea of Divine Sense panel:

”Consume Clan Contribution Points to improve Brother Fuu’s Spiritual Root Talent”

Buzz!

The panel trembled.

A massive surge of yellow light flooded.

Then.

The next moment he found himself in a space that seemed akin to primordial chaos just opening, Fu Changsheng did not dare delay and immediately began to operate the ”Celestial Qian Seven Steps” technique.

....

On the other side.

In the Shangguan Family meeting hall.

Shangguan Li sat at the head, while Shangguan Feng was at the lower left side, the meeting hall had only the two of them. Shangguan Li took the lead and said:

”Congratulations to the Grand Elder on waking from the coma. I wonder what plans the Grand Elder has next?”

The former subordinates of the Grand Elder.

Came to visit upon hearing of the Grand Elder’s awakening. This group, due to being the Grand Elder’s old allies, were replaced from their original positions of power after Shangguan Li took office.

Though the Shangguan Family appears to be thriving.

However.

These old subordinates haven’t benefited at all. Upon finding out that Shangguan Feng still has a chance to break through to the Purple Mansion with just a Soul Nurturing Pill, they were immediately invigorated.

While the Soul Nurturing Pill is rare as well.

It is nonetheless a commodity that can be traded, unlike the Soul-Attracting Pill.

Especially given the current status of the Shangguan Family.

Thus.

The former subordinates of Shangguan Feng united like never before, working together from top to bottom, with the immediate goal that if Shangguan Feng successfully breaks through to the Purple Mansion, they would have the ability to rival Shangguan Li, and the Shangguan Family would no longer be Shangguan Li’s one-man show.

Most crucially.

These old subordinates too could have better days.

Initially, Shangguan Li was indifferent to Shangguan Feng’s awakening, but upon hearing that Shangguan Feng had fortune amidst misfortune, and would need only a Soul Nurturing Pill to step into the Purple Mansion, he hurried back posthaste.

Before Shangguan Feng could speak.

Elder Clan Leader Shangguan immediately rose, saying:

”Li’er, for the Shangguan Family to have reached today, more than half of the credit goes to the efforts of the Grand Elder and Hongyu. We failed to wake the Grand Elder from his coma, which was already extremely unjust. Now that the Grand Elder needs just a Soul Nurturing Pill to break through to the Purple Mansion, our entire clan should tighten our belts to plan for this pill for the Grand Elder. It would count as a compensation to the Grand Elder.”
