Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 1032: Chapter 364: Secrets, Entrustment, and Returning to the Otherworld

After the auction ended.

Fu Changsheng stayed in place and waited until most of the people had left before going downstairs. At the door, he saw Luo Haitang waiting for him and quickly went to greet him:

”Elder Luo”

”Hmm”

Luo Haitang gestured for Fu Changsheng to head towards the Inner City together.

As they left.

A shadow in the original place flickered and sneered: ”Turns out he’s cozying up to a Golden Core Master.”

Fu Changsheng reached the Inner City Cave Mansion.

Luo Haitang did not inquire about what Fu Changsheng acquired at the auction, only saying:

”I plan to stay in the Inner City for a period. Fu Clan Leader, if you wish to stay in Jingzhou City, you can continue to reside here with me.”

”Thank you, Elder, but I have pressing matters on our territory that need handling, and I must depart soon.”

Under Luo Haitang’s watchful eye, Fu Changsheng dared not enter the Five Elements Space, plus he needed to attend the Shadow Sect Outer Sect selection, naturally feeling stable only on his own territory. Thus, after staying for several days in the Inner City and waiting for the auction waves to settle, he bid farewell to Luo Haitang.

After leaving the city gate of Jingzhou City, he donned the Mysterious Robe and, when reaching an uninhabited place, swiftly rode the Cyan Flood Dragon towards Yunshan County’s territory.

On the way.

He made a detour to Wanning Marketplace.

Upon arrival at the marketplace.

He headed straight for Wanning Commerce Association.

Shopkeeper Tian saw Fu Changsheng and immediately came to greet him:

”Elder Fu, our Elder said you came, please head directly upstairs.”

While speaking.

He personally led the way in front.

Upon reaching the second floor.

A maid with red-rimmed eyes came out to greet him, who was usually by Miss Qin’s side. Fu Changsheng’s heart sank a bit:

”Did I come a step too late?”

The maid led Fu Changsheng around the front corridor.

To the backyard.

From the main house in the courtyard came faint sounds of sobbing, and the maid quickly stepped forward to report:

”Miss, Elder Fu is back.”

As soon as the words fell.

A gust of wind rushed out from the room.

A flash of white.

It was Miss Qin:

”Elder Fu, did...did you manage to...”

Miss Qin’s eyes were swollen red, and she looked at Fu Changsheng full of hope, yet fearing that her last bit of hope might be dashed.

Fu Changsheng nodded:

”I lived up to expectations.”

”Good, good, good, Elder Fu, please come inside!”

Miss Qin couldn’t care about other courtesies at this moment and, in her urgency, directly pulled Fu Changsheng into the main house.

In the main house.

The smell of medicine could not cover up the faint traces of death.

Lying on the bed, Elder Qin’s face was waxy yellow, held on by a breath only because Miss Qin used Spirit Medicine to prolong his life.

Fu Changsheng didn’t waste any time:

”Miss Qin, help your father sit up.”

While speaking.

He patted his storage bag.

A flash of Dawn Light.

A box with white leaf patterns appeared, and, accompanied by a Technique, the Restriction opened, subsequently releasing a rich surge of vitality.

Miss Qin’s eyes brightened:

”Nine-Life Fruit!”

This Spirit Medicine can prolong life by three years.

Miss Qin was instantly somewhat excited, tears streamed down her face.

Fu Changsheng pressed his right palm against Elder Qin’s back, Elder Qin’s mouth slightly open, and the Nine-Life Fruit instantly transformed into a Spirit Light, entering his body.

Boom!

After the Medicinal Power entered the abdomen, it dispersed instantly.

Elder Qin’s mana within was already withered, completely unable to refine this surge of Medicinal Power.

Fu Changsheng pressed his left hand also against the other’s back, cautiously channeling strands of mana into Elder Qin’s body, enveloping and swiftly refining the Medicinal Power. The medicinal properties of the Nine-Life Fruit and the previously rejuvenated Life Essence Power from the Ancient Profound Vine had some similarities, making the refining process relatively simple.

After a half cup of tea time.

The initially lifeless Elder Qin shivered slightly.

The waxy complexion began to fade, turning to a slight flush, and breathing began to stabilize.

Another hour passed.

After the last bit of Medicinal Power was refined, Elder Qin seemed as if he was in a deep sleep, the deathly aura dissipated.

”Hoo~”

Fu Changsheng let out a long breath.

Got up from the bed, laid Elder Qin flat, and said to Miss Qin:

”The Medicinal Power in Elder Qin’s body has been completely refined. He should wake up in several hours.”

”Thank you so much for your great kindness, Elder!”

Miss Qin immediately gave Fu Changsheng a grand salute.

Fu Changsheng placed the Nine-Life Fruit seed back into the box, waved for her to rise:

”Miss Qin, if there’s nothing urgent, I shall return to the territory first.”

Miss Qin personally escorted him out of the marketplace, repeatedly expressing gratitude along the way. After Fu Changsheng’s figure had gone far, Miss Qin rushed back to the Commerce Association, went upstairs, closed the Array, and stayed by the bed.

Several hours later.

Elder Qin slowly awoke.

”Father!”

Miss Qin cried tears of joy.

Although Elder Qin had been in a coma, he was aware of what had transpired outside.

He reached out to touch his daughter’s head:

”Silly child, you’ve exhausted all reserved Spirit Stones. How will you exchange for Soul-Attracting Pill in the future?”

”I don’t care, I just want father alive.”

Miss Qin shook her head with a smile.

Spirit Stones can be earned again, but without a father, she would be an orphan.

Elder Qin let out a long sigh.

Suddenly, he changed the subject:

”Yunyan, what do you think of Fu Clan Leader as a person?”

”He is a man of emotions and righteousness, clear in his love and hate, a rare good person in this cruel Cultivation Realm.”

”Then if you were to marry him, would you be willing?”

Miss Qin hesitated for a moment.

Then shook her head repeatedly:

”Father, don’t tease me like this. Currently, there’s a rumor in the city that the Fu Family is about to ascend to a Seventh-Grade Noble Family. How could a person like Elder Fu favor me?”

Elder Qin closed his eyes.

After speaking for a while, he was already somewhat tired.

Qin Yunyan saw this and quickly told Elder Qin to rest well and withdrew herself. However, Elder Qin, who had been lying down, suddenly opened his eyes, shooting a burst of brilliance from them:
