Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 1015: Chapter 359: Breakthrough and Reward_4

Fu Changsheng went directly to the Wanning Commerce Association.

Upon his arrival, the attendant immediately invited Miss Qin from the backyard. Elder Qin had already retired, and now Miss Qin was in charge of the Wanning Commerce Association. It had been years since they last met, yet Miss Qin’s appearance remained unchanged, likely due to taking Youthful Appearance Pills or something similar.

Miss Qin felt somewhat nostalgic upon seeing Fu Changsheng.

When they first met years ago, Fu Changsheng was merely a Junior Qi Cultivator. Now, in the blink of an eye, he had ascended to the level of a Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion, while she remained stuck at the Foundation Establishment Stage, being over a hundred years old. If there were no fortunes in this lifetime, she might be halted forever at Foundation Establishment:

”Elder Fu, please come inside.”

Miss Qin warmly invited him to the backyard and personally brewed tea.

However, Fu Changsheng waved his hand, saying:

”Miss Qin, dispense with the tea for now. Today, I came to inquire whether your association has talisman treasures for sale?”

Talisman Treasure?!

Miss Qin’s eyelids twitched.

Such a grand business deal, what a pity:

”Elder Fu, the headquarters of our association certainly does, but here is merely a branch office. We aren’t qualified to sell treasures of Tier Four and above. I apologize for the inconvenience. But I’ve heard that soon, there will be a large-scale auction in Jingzhou City, where you will surely find what you need.”

Jingzhou City is the largest concentration of power within Jingzhou.

The Court has specially set up the Myriarch Office of the World Suppression Bureau, which has a Golden Core sitting in command.

Moreover.

All shopkeepers within Jingzhou are from Noble Families of the Sixth-Grade or higher.

Amongst these forces, the Luo Family is barely considered near the bottom.

The Fu Family has lingered in the small area of South Huai Prefecture for a hundred years. If they want to continue advancing, they must step forward. At least they need to grasp the situation of forces within Jingzhou to some extent. After all, once they advance to Seventh-Grade, they can govern a prefecture, and since South Huai Prefecture falls under Luo Family’s rule, it can’t naturally belong to Fu Family. While heading to Jingzhou City, they might also gather relevant information in advance.

Especially if the Yu Family advances to Eighth-Grade.

It means their Fu Family can immediately follow suit and advance to Seventh-Grade.

Immediately asked:

”Miss Qin, are there any conditions or thresholds for participating in this auction?”

”To answer Elder, for this auction, only those of the Purple Mansion or above are qualified to participate, and recommendation from major commerce associations is also required.”

Speaking.

Miss Qin placed her hand on a storage bag, and with a flash of dawn light, an ancient-looking Jade Talisman floated towards Fu Changsheng:

”Elder, with this Jade Talisman, you can enter the venue. The auction will be held in one month. Elder, if you set off now, with the speed of your Spirit Pet, the Cyan Flood Dragon, you should be able to reach there with day and night travel.”

Fu Changsheng accepted the Jade Talisman.

Knowing that the other party would not hand over an entry ticket without reason:

”Miss Qin, is there anything you need assistance with at the auction?”

Miss Qin clearly waited for this sentence.

She herself was limited by her cultivation and always confined within the remote South Huai Prefecture. She had few acquaintances in the Purple Mansion. Even if she wanted to attend, she wasn’t qualified. Miss Qin’s eyes turned slightly red:

”Elder, to be frank, my grandfather is nearing his end. I hope you can help me bid for some spiritual pills or spirit fruits that can extend his lifespan.”

Speaking.

Miss Qin stood up and bowed to Fu Changsheng, then presented a bulging storage bag.

She only hoped that before her grandfather passed away, she could step into the Purple Mansion, so that her grandfather could rest peacefully under the nether world.

”Alright, I will do my best.”

Fu Changsheng accepted the storage bag.

In the end.

He asked a few questions about the distribution of forces within Jingzhou City.

Miss Qin shook her head:

”When my grandfather severed ties with the family, our channels for collecting information were also cut off. These years, trapped in South Huai Prefecture, we know very little about external circumstances. This Jade Talisman was bestowed as a reward after my grandfather saved a notable figure’s son from the commerce association.”

The origins of the Wanning Commerce Association are mysterious.

But it is unknown to which notable figure’s son Miss Qin was referring; seeing that she had no intention of explaining further, Fu Changsheng did not pursue it. After leaving Wanning Square, An’an also came out of the World Suppression Bureau, and the two arrived at the backyard of the Fu Family’s shop.

After closing the array.

Fu Changsheng tapped the storage bag, and with a flash of dawn light, a Shadow Gate Mask flew towards An’an:

”An’an, you may take this mask.”

Just like Yaoyao.

An’an, upon knowing it was a mask to enter the Shadow Sect, was usually as calm as a mountain facing collapse, but now showed considerable excitement, standing up to bow long towards Fu Changsheng:

”Thank you, Father, for your kindness!”

Father had many offspring.

Yet still took care to consider his illegitimate child like him, making An’an feel grateful.

Fu Changsheng admonished him for a while regarding the use of the Shadow Gate Mask, then a familiar mechanical sound echoed in his mind:

”Ding.”

”You gifted your offspring a Shadow Gate Mask, receiving three hundred Clan Contribution Points.”

Immediately.

The Clan Contribution Points on the panel instantly changed to thirteen thousand three hundred.

With the auction imminent.

Fu Changsheng did not continue to linger; after parting with An’an, he rapidly sped towards Jingzhou City riding the Cyan Flood Dragon.

As he left.

A black-clothed person lurking in the marketplace arrived at a secret cave mansion outside the city. After muttering something unintelligible, there was a buzz, and a pool of water appeared before him. The water reflected, revealing two figures, the Fifth Elder and Seventh Elder of the Taiyin Tribe:

”Two Elders, I saw the Patriarch of the Fu Family enter the Town Suppression Bureau at Wanning Square. After leaving the Wanning Commerce Association, he headed straight to Jingzhou City.”

”What?!”

Within the pool.

The Seventh Elder froze for a moment. They had waited in Yinan Mountain for three years, only to be informed that Fu Changsheng appeared in South Huai Prefecture. This... is like being toyed with.

The water in the pool dissipated.

The Seventh Elder was full of rage:

”Fifth Brother, this lad from the Fu Family is playing us like monkeys. We can’t just let it slide.”

They can’t enter Jingzhou City.

But Yinan Mountain is right under their noses; the Fu Family must pay some price.

Otherwise, wouldn’t they have wasted three years for no reason:

”In Yinan Mountain, the Fu Family merely has one Early Stage Purple Mansion to guard it. With our strength, we can directly attack and plunder. The Fu Family only has a private relationship between Fu Changsheng and Luo Haitang. As long as we don’t touch Fu Changsheng, even if Luo Haitang finds out, he likely won’t go to war with us over a subordinate force’s mountain. Fifth Brother, what do you think?”

The Taiyin Fifth Elder hesitated for a moment.

But still shook his head, saying:

”We have to report to Celestial Yang Supreme Elder and wait for his approval.”

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Elder mumbled softly.

The Fifth Elder pretended not to hear, cast a technique into the Communication Jade Talisman, which briefly lit up. After reporting the situation, Celestial Yang Supreme Elder’s voice came through the Jade Talisman:

”No need to keep watching Fu Changsheng in the future. Issue a Recruitment Order to the White Tiger Tribe and Celestial Wolf Tribe to send troops to sweep away Yinan Mountain.

”The Fish Eagle Tribe was exterminated by the Fu Family!”

”The primary purpose of attacking the Fu Family is to capture Fu Yongxuan alive!”
