Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 1012: Chapter 359: Breakthrough and Reward

Long Peak Valley.

Three silhouettes shot up into the sky.

The Celestial Yang Master, who had gained nothing, coldly said to Celestial Yin Fifth Elder and Seventh Elder:

”The two of you need not return to the tribe for now. Stand guard near Yinan Mountain, closely observing every move of Fu Changsheng. Immediately report to me as soon as he leaves the mountain.”

With that said.

Celestial Yang Master flickered and vanished from sight.

After a long time.

Only then did Celestial Yin Seventh Elder rise, looking puzzled:

”Fifth Brother, the Fu Family is just a small Purple Mansion Noble Family. Since the Celestial Yang Supreme Elder looks upon him unfavorably, why not simply eliminate him? Why the cautious approach of just having us watch?”

Fifth Elder hesitated for a moment and said:

”I heard that Fu Changsheng seems to be quite close to Luo Haitang, sharing some personal connections.”

And that was the end of it.

Luo Haitang was the heroine who eradicated the Golden Toad Tribe in the Great Zhou. It is said her combat power suppressed even the Late-Stage Golden Core. Without any gain, the Celestial Yang Supreme Elder naturally wouldn’t increase his adversaries unnecessarily.

Upon hearing this, Seventh Elder spoke with a hint of envy:

”It is said that Master Luo is a rare beauty not seen for a millennium. That Fu Family kid truly has hit the jackpot.”

The two muttered to each other.

Nearing Yinan Mountain, they found an entire Mountain Protection Array operating at full force, with no one entering or leaving from inside or out.

It seems the Fu Family had already been on guard.

.....

Five Elements Space.

Fu Changsheng returned to the straw hut, sent a technique inside, and all the frost within dispersed.

His thoughts landed on the system panel:

”Activate Training Room”

Buzz!

The panel vibrated.

A surge of yellow light flowed.

Suddenly, the scene before him changed drastically.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself at the center pavilion of a Lotus Pool:

”This is.....”

Fu Changsheng was momentarily stunned.

After the system upgrade, the previous Quiet Chamber had changed into a Lotus Pool.

Upon careful sensing.

He discovered that the Wood Attribute Spiritual Qi in the pool was extremely dense and pure.

Once absorbed into his body, there was almost no need for further quenching to convert it into his own mana:

”Excellent, excellent!”

Compared to the previous simple time acceleration, the environment now is more fitting to his cultivation technique.

Thus.

He doesn’t need fifteen years to smoothly break through to the Fifth-Layer of the Purple Mansion and can spare some time to prepare for the upcoming Outer Sect Shadow Sect selection.

Concentration Incense rose from a corner incense burner in the central pavilion.

Fu Changsheng moved to sit on the cushion, forming seals with his hands, and began practicing the ”Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique,” after seven Grand Circulations, bringing mind, body, and mana to an optimal state before he tapped the box with white base and leaf patterns in front of him, it opened suddenly, and a Featherleaf Fruit the size of a human thumb flew into his mouth.

The Featherleaf Fruit melted immediately upon entry.

Boom!

A surge of terrifying medicinal power erupted, akin to torrents rampaging through his entire body. His meridians seemed on the verge of bursting, sending searing pain from every inch. Fu Changsheng grunted.

His face turned ashen, cold sweat soaked through his clothing.

Yet his hands continued the technique uninterrupted:

”The Cyan Emperor descends to the world, Wood Spirit returns home. Purple Mansion shines, Five Elements merge.”

As the incantations sounded.

Buzz!

The medicinal power, enveloped by mana, surged down like a torrent through the Du Meridian, passing the Dazhui Acupoint, Life Gate Acupoint, directly to the Weilu Acupoint.

Ultimately merging into one, transforming into his own mana.

In cultivation, time is inconsequential.

The buds of lotus flowers in the Lotus Pool bloomed, forming lotus pods, and lotus seeds fell to grow new lotus flowers anew.

At this moment.

Fu Changsheng had already refined all of the medicinal power from the Featherleaf Fruit.

The mana within him reached a certain point.

”Break through the shackles, reach the Fifth-Layer!”

Without further hesitation, Fu Changsheng clasped his right hand’s seal tightly, fully channeling his internal mana. At this moment, the Spiritual Qi of the Lotus Pool trembled lightly with a buzz, then like hundreds of birds returning to nest, it entered Fu Changsheng’s body.

In an instant.

A cyan vortex formed above his head.

Boom!

At a certain moment.

A sound of shattering barrier was heard within Fu Changsheng, as surrounding Spiritual Power crazily poured into his body.

After a while.

The Spiritual Qi vortex dissipated.

Fu Changsheng abruptly opened his eyes:

”Fifth-Layer of Purple Mansion!”

Feeling the fullness of mana inside, Fu Changsheng’s eyes were full of delight. With his current realm, he can again cast [Bing Fire Divine Thunder], and within a day, he can release dozens of them, his mana being almost five times stronger than before.

He spent several more years consolidating his cultivation.

With a thought.

He emerged from the Lotus Pool.

Glanced at the hourglass within the straw hut of the Five Elements Space, twelve years in the Lotus Pool equated to two years and five months outside.

Half a year remains until the Shadow Sect Outer Sect selection.

Fu Changsheng glanced at the Sea of Divine Sense panel.

Only to see the panel tremble slightly, then the contribution points above changed.

From the previous fifteen thousand seven hundred suddenly reducing to nine thousand nine hundred.

Converted, it cost five thousand eight hundred contribution points:

”It seems that as the Training Room upgrades, the expenditure of contribution points doubles as well.”

Yet compared to the environment of the Lotus Pool and the five-fold cultivation time, the monthly increase of one hundred contribution points can be accepted.

As the thought settled.

His mind was soon struck by several mechanical sounds in succession:

”Ding”

”Your clansmen Fu Changli, Fu Yongyi successfully broke through the Purple Mansion, earning two thousand clan contribution points”

”Ding”

”Your clansmen Fu Yongwei successfully advanced to the Tier Three Spirit Plant Master, earning one thousand clan contribution points”

Soon after.

The clan contribution points on the panel quickly changed to twelve thousand nine hundred.

Seeing this, Fu Changsheng was delighted; it counted as fourfold joy:

”I wonder if Qingru has started her sprint towards the Purple Mansion yet?”

Exiting the Secret Chamber.
