Chapter 170: Breakthrough, promotion to ninth-rank family, murderous intent lurking

When Fu Changsheng returned to Luofeng Mountain and gave Liu Runzhi a pair of wings of the Three-Flower Demon Butterfly, Liu Runzhi was stunned for a moment. This was the material of a second-stage mid-stage demon beast. She waved her hand and said:
"Master, my current cultivation level cannot support me in refining a mid-level second-order magical weapon. It would be more appropriate for you to go to the Wanning Chamber of Commerce and find a mid-level second-order weapon refiner to refine this pair of three-flowered demon butterfly wings."

The monster materials that can be refined into flying magic tools are extremely rare.

Liu Runzhi dared not waste such fine materials.

Fu Changsheng pondered for a while:
"In that case, Runzhi, ask Yongshang to go back to the clan and take the three-flowered demon butterfly's wings, blood essence, and demon pills to the Treasure Pavilion for sale."

He has no shortage of flying tools now.

Asking Wanning Chamber of Commerce to refine it would cost a large amount of spirit stones.

Now that their Fu family has been officially promoted to the ninth rank, they are only missing a second-rank spiritual vein. Naturally, they have to try every possible way to accumulate spirit stones and upgrade this first-rank spirit vein to the second rank first.

The voice just fell.

A familiar mechanical voice rang in his mind:

"Ding, you have added a second-stage mid-stage three-flowered demon butterfly corpse and a demon pill to the family, and obtained 200 family contribution points."

Followed by.

The family contribution value on the panel instantly changed to fifteen hundred.

Fu Changsheng went to the back mountain and wanted to pick up Master Yu. After all, there was a second-level spiritual spring in the fiefdom, which was more conducive to Master Yu's cultivation.

This time he returned to his fiefdom.

Shi Shutong did not follow along, because there was a house of underground fire in the clan's land, which would be more conducive to his alchemy.

After returning to the fiefdom from Luofeng Mountain.

Fu Changsheng announced that he would go into seclusion.

There are still two years until the ancient cultivator's cave is opened. He must hurry up and break through to the sixth level of foundation building. At the same time, he must practice the "Ancient Source Thunder Sutra" to the second level, so that he can cast the divine thunder to ward off evil.

In just two years.

It is naturally impossible to accomplish these things.

So he said without thinking:

"Start [Practice Room]"

hum!
The panel vibrates.

A large amount of yellow light surged.

Then his eyes flashed, and the next moment, he appeared in the [Training Room]. The familiar sandalwood scent filled his nose, calming his originally agitated mood.

Practice the "Green Emperor's Longevity Secret" for one week and expel the turbid air in your body.

He took a white box with fruit patterns next to the cushion and swallowed a fruit of the dead into his stomach. After the fruit of the dead entered his stomach, it instantly turned into vigorous medicinal power. Unlike other spiritual fruits, the medicinal power of this fruit of the dead carried a chilling force. As soon as it entered his stomach, a layer of frost appeared on the outer layer of his entire body along with his breathing.

Fu Changsheng quickly practiced his skills to refine the cold and gloomy power from the undead fruit.

Cultivation has no time.

In the blink of an eye.

More than two years have passed in a flash.

However, Fu Changsheng saw the mana galaxy in his body running, accompanied by a rumble, and finally a bang, as if it had directly crossed the mountain, and the mana rolled back and fell back into the dantian. At this time, the dantian was twice as wide as before, and the same was true for the spiritual consciousness:
"After refining five undead fruits, I finally achieved my wish and broke through to the sixth level of foundation building!"

After breaking through to the sixth level of foundation building, he could feel that it was much easier for him to activate the third-order Hunyuan Bowl again, and the magic power in his body was enough for him to activate it six times in a row.

but.

The time required to refine the second-grade medium-quality undead fruit exceeded his expectations and actually required nearly three years. He had originally planned to continue practicing the "Ancient Source Thunder Sutra" in the [Training Room], but the contribution value was obviously not enough to support it.

"call"

Take a deep breath.

After calming down from the joy of the breakthrough, he spent several more months consolidating his cultivation.

Just now.

However, he heard a buzzing sound in his sea of ​​consciousness, and a familiar mechanical voice entered his mind:
"Ding"

"Your clan's Luofeng Mountain spiritual vein has been upgraded to the lower second grade, and you have gained 800 contribution points."

Fu Changsheng was truly stunned.

Because he had been in seclusion in the [Training Room] for three years, and only one year outside, how could the clan gather so many spirit stones to upgrade the spirit vein in such a short time?
"Did something happy happen in the tribe in the past year?"

If not.

There is no explanation.

This way.

To be promoted to a ninth-rank family, the only thing missing is whether Molan can break through to the foundation-building stage. However, with the qualifications of Molan's mutated ice spiritual roots and the assistance of the Soul-Condensing Incense, breaking through the foundation-building stage will not be a problem at all if nothing unexpected happens.

Their promotion to the ninth-rank family is a foregone conclusion.

Fu Changsheng felt a little excited when he thought about it.

It took the Fu family nineteen years, nearly twenty years, to get to this point. It was really not easy.

After calming down.

He immediately began to practice the "Ancient Source Thunder Sutra" without stopping.

In the blink of an eye, more than two years have passed.

There was a sudden slight tremor in the [training room], followed by a slight shake of the surrounding environment. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in the real secret room of the party.

The panel vibrates.

Then a line of text appeared:

"Ancient Lightning Scripture: Second Level (5/100)"

Finally, he cultivated to the second level of the Ancient Source Thunder Sutra. Fu Changsheng glanced at the environment of the secret room and resisted the urge to try to stimulate the evil-repelling divine thunder here:

"It's time to get out of seclusion."

If Molan had succeeded in building his foundation, he should have come out of seclusion by now, just in time to be promoted to a ninth-grade family before the ancient cultivator's cave was opened.

A wave of sleeves.

The light curtain of the secret room magic array was then unveiled, and Fu Changsheng came out of the secret room.

As soon as he came out of the customs.

Fourth sister Fu Changli received the message and immediately ran over to greet him. She sensed that Fu Changsheng's aura had become much stronger, and said with a smile on her face:

"Welcome the Patriarch to come out of seclusion. Patriarch, please follow me to the meeting hall."

Mysterious.

He looked like he wanted to say something but was trying hard to suppress it.

Housekeeper for three years.

Although not so jumpy.

But the fourth sister Fu Changli is still as quirky as before.

Fu Changsheng had a rough estimate in his mind, but since he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he was still a little unsure, so he involuntarily quickened his pace.

Arrived at the council hall.

At this time, there was already a person sitting at the head of the hall.

It was Fu Molan who had broken through to the foundation-building stage.

Fourth sister Fu Changli giggled:
"Patriarch, Sister Molan, broke through the foundation-building stage a year ago. In addition, Yongyi also discovered a first-grade, top-grade marble vein on the north side of our fiefdom. Although it is only a miniature one, it can be mined to produce tens of thousands of spiritual stones. In addition, because of the participation of mortals from Pingshan County, the vein on Wangniu Mountain has also been mined. After collecting all the spiritual stones, the master upgraded the spiritual vein on Luofeng Mountain to a lower-grade second-grade one."

There was a pause.

Fu Changli's eyes sparkled:
"Master, we have met the conditions to advance to the ninth-grade family!"

"Three months before you came out of seclusion, the people from the Zhenshi Division had already come down to inspect you. All the procedures have been completed. We are just waiting for you, the head of the family, to go to the Zhenshi Division to accept the canonization, change the family jade seal to the ninth rank, and receive the imperial edict."

They waited for a year.

Although Fu Changsheng had some guesses in his mind, after seeing it with his own eyes and seeing it all become a reality, he finally felt at ease, a smile spread across his face, and he nodded:

"Fourth sister, Molan, you have worked hard!"

However, Fu Yongyi gave him a pleasant surprise.

The system didn't even detect the Yuanshi ore vein, but he actually discovered it, which was really surprising.

The fourth sister Molan slapped the spirit beast bag, a green light flashed, and Xiaoqing flew out instantly and landed on Fu Changsheng's shoulder. Xiaoqing hadn't seen her master for more than two years, and she still missed him a little, so she rubbed Fu Changsheng's shoulder with her head.

Fourth sister Fu Changli was a little reluctant:
"Master, Sister Molan is in charge of the fiefdom now. In addition, after the mining of the Wangniu Mountain mineral vein was completed, the second-order millipede mother was also moved back to our fiefdom."

Busy with chores.

Fourth sister Fu Changli’s cultivation has stagnated at the eighth level of Qi training for many years.

She planned to use her contribution points to exchange for elixirs and fruits from the clan, and break through to the peak of Qi training like Mei Zhen before coming out of seclusion.

After hearing her plan, Fu Changsheng naturally agreed and told Molan:

"Molan, you will be in charge of the fiefdom. I will go to the Huainan Prefecture Zhenshi Division to handle the procedures for promotion to the ninth rank."

"Well, Master, you can travel without any worries."

Fu Molan had already been in charge of the fiefdom when he was in the Qi Refining Stage. Now that he has broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, the people below him are convinced and naturally there are no problems.

When Fu Changsheng was getting ready to go out.

Fourth sister Fu Changli suddenly remembered something and hurriedly took a few steps to catch up:

"Master, wait a minute."

talking.

He slapped the spirit beast bag.

buzzing.

But a golden light flashed, and the Soul Devouring Insect flashed out.

"Master, this is the Soul Devouring Bug you left for Yongyi. After the mining of Wangniu Mountain was completed, he returned the Soul Devouring Bug to me. I almost forgot about it."

Fu Changsheng waved his hand.

The Soul-Eating Bug was put into the second floor of the Yunhuan Purple Fairy Tower. After entering the tower, the Soul-Eating Bug seemed to be extremely hungry. It plunged its head into the Blood Demon Sword, and the demonic energy on the Blood Demon Sword was quickly devoured by it.

Before going out.

Fu Changsheng looked at the dozen or so contribution points remaining on the panel, and immediately had an idea:
"Exchange Information"

hum!
The panel vibrates.

A large amount of yellow light surged.

Then lines of text appeared:

【1:.】

The secret room of the Gongsun family, an eighth-rank family.

A man in a black robe entered quietly and bowed to the head of the Gongsun clan who was sitting on a cushion in the secret room. "Master, Yunshan County Master Changsheng has come out of seclusion and is heading to Huainan Prefecture. Should we send someone to reveal the news to the Cao and He families now?"

Two years ago.

Fu Changsheng stayed alone within ten miles of Duolong Lake for a long time.

The ruins of the ancient monk's cave were about to be opened. With the attitude of rather killing than letting him go, the top leaders of the Gongsun family finally decided to get rid of Fu Changsheng.

According to court rules.

On the surface, they, an eighth-rank family, cannot take action against lower-ranking families.

However, it is not just the Gongsun family that wants to get rid of the Fu family. Once the Fu family is officially canonized as a ninth-rank family, the interests belonging to the ninth-rank family will have to be redistributed.

For example, the four shops in Wanning Market, the income of Wanguiyuan, and the quota to enter Tianlan Secret Realm, all involve the fundamental interests of the Ninth Rank Family.

The Shangguan family has always been on good terms with the Fu family. The Liang family and the Lin family are allies of the Shangguan family. Naturally, they will not take action against Fu Changsheng. The Yu family is useless and has already secluded themselves from going out, so we will not mention them for now.

In addition to the Gongsun family and the Nangong family, there is another eight-grade family in Huainan Prefecture, which is the Shi family known as the old turtle.

The head of the Shi family is timid and afraid of trouble. He does things in a very pedantic way. He executes the imperial laws as iron rules. Even the three ninth-rank families under his rule, the Cui family, the Qi family, and the Hong family, follow his example and would not do anything out of the ordinary.

Therefore.

After counting the time.

The only ones who could attack the Fu family were the Cao family and the Ping family under the rule of the Gongsun family.

and.

According to the information they received, the Ping, Cao and He families had originally planned to join forces to deal with the Fu family, but for some reason they suddenly changed their minds and turned to attack the Yunteng tribe.

Since they already have murderous intentions towards the Fu family.

It is also adjacent to the Fu family's fiefdom.

No matter they are motivated by personal grudges or interests.

The Cao family and the He family will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Fu family grow stronger. Once promoted to the ninth rank, the Fu family will have access to more resources, and it will be difficult to eliminate them.

Patriarch Gongsun said calmly:
"If the Cao and He families were not stupid, they would have sent people to keep an eye on the Fu family long ago. Why would they need us to notify them? But just in case, you can give the Yin and Yang Twins a piece of information and tell them that Fu Changsheng has the Ping family's treasure."

The Yin and Yang Twins are well-known robbery cultivators in Huainan Prefecture. One man and one woman, they practice the art of dual cultivation and joint attack. Their combined combat power is comparable to that of a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.

If the Cao family and the He family fail.

The Yin and Yang Devils will definitely take advantage of the situation, and there is no chance that Fu Changsheng will survive.

The Fu family lost a foundation-building master, so there was no hope for them to be promoted to a ninth-grade family. The only one left in the Fu family's fiefdom was the little girl who had just built her foundation and was of no use at all.

Patriarch Gongsun closed his eyes calmly.

these years.

Countless members of the quasi-ninth-rank family died as a result of the Gongsun family's schemes, and the Fu family was naturally no exception.

The man in black robe took the order and left.

In a secret cave in Qian Yunshan.

Cao Sijun, the second elder of the Cao family, sat cross-legged. After a while, a rainbow light rushed in from outside the cave.

Cao Sijun waved his sleeves.

The light curtain of the cave formation was unveiled, and the second elder of the He family, He Jingdong, flashed in. He Jingdong swept his consciousness over Cao Sijun, was stunned for a moment, and bowed his hands and said:
"Congratulations, Brother Cao, for reaching the seventh level of foundation building."

"Same joy, same joy"

He Jingdong's cultivation level is actually at the seventh level of foundation building.

The two sat down and exchanged some greetings.

He Jingdong said:

"Brother Cao, have you managed to contact that old man, Patriarch Ping?"

At that time, the three families jointly attacked the Yunteng tribe and were defeated.

At that time, both of them were in seclusion to break through to the late stage of foundation building, so they were not aware of the situation. If they were there, there would definitely not have been such a defeat.

Cao Sijun waved his hand:

"The Heike clan has been secluded in their mountainous areas. It was previously rumored that four of their foundation-building elders had already died in battle. Now it seems to be true."

Over the past few years.

When they saw that the Fu family had taken action to seize the Pingshan County resources from the Ping family and the Ping family did not take any action, they became more certain of this speculation.

to this end.

The two families also took action to seize and divide up the resources of Kuishan County and Ningyang County, which were fiefs of the Heike clan.

There were only two foundation-building cultivators left in the Ping clan, and the clan leader still looked seriously injured. The original alliance of the three families also collapsed. If the Ping clan's mountain protection formation had not been a third-order formation, the two families would have joined forces to attack long ago.

Between aristocratic families.

Only interests are eternal, everything else is false.

He Jingdong hesitated after hearing this, but couldn't help but said:

"Brother Cao, once the Fu family is promoted to a ninth-grade family, our two families will not be the only ones affected. This time, we can't just help to kill Fu Changsheng. The Shangguan family and the Fu family are in the same boat, but the Cui family, the Qi family, and the Hong family can't just not contribute at all, right? Otherwise, why don't we try to contact them?"

Cao Sijun waved his hand:

"You are not unaware of the nature of the Cui family, the Qi family, and the Hong family. The last time the Lin family was promoted to the ninth rank, we wanted to kill Lin Tianfu. Wasn't it the Cui family who leaked the secret? And according to the spies, Fu Changsheng went to Huainan Prefecture alone this time. The two of us in the late foundation building stage are more than enough to deal with him, Fu Changsheng."

Fu Changsheng was able to break through from the second level of Qi training to the middle stage of foundation building in just less than twenty years. He must have some shocking secret.

This time he did not hesitate to take action himself.

The purpose is to seize the other party's opportunity.

Therefore.

Cao Sijun didn't want more people to interfere.

He Jingdong was also very confident in his own fighting ability. He smiled and said:

"That's right. Fu Changsheng is not even forty years old and has little experience in fighting. Even if he advances to the middle stage of foundation building, he is definitely not a match for you and me. In this case, Brother Cao, we should make preparations early."

After Fu Changsheng came out of Luofeng Mountain driving the Tianlei Sword, he flew slowly towards Huainan Prefecture. At night, he opened a cave to rest and was not in a hurry to travel.

Wait until he passes through the plum blossom forest.

What comes into view is Qian Yunshan.

It was getting late at this time.

Fu Changsheng looked around, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and returned to the plum blossom forest.

Qian Yunshan.

Cao Sijun and He Jingdong, who had been lying in ambush here for a long time, saw Fu Changsheng change direction. He Jingdong could not help but gnashing his teeth. If an ordinary foundation-building cultivator was on his way, he would have arrived in Huainan Prefecture by now. However, Fu Changsheng was neither hurried nor slow, and arrived several days later than expected. This wore out his little patience, and he said in a muffled voice:
"Brother Cao, Fu Changsheng is in the plum blossom forest. There is no need to wait any longer. Let's take action."

"Not urgent"

Cao Sijun shook his head.

We've waited for so long, one more night won't hurt.

If not.

The trap they set in Qian Yunshan was wasted.

He Jingdong frowned slightly. In his opinion, the two late foundation building masters working together were enough to kill Fu Changsheng with their swords. However, Cao Sijun still set up a trap and ambush him, which was too cautious.

but.

Fortunately, Fu Changsheng has appeared.

Just wait.

The plum blossom forest blooms on a hill five miles away.

The Yin and Yang Devils watched Fu Changsheng settle down again in the plum blossom forest, and Mother Yin said:

"Damn it, after the plum blossom forest, Qian Yun Mountain is ahead. With the speed of that little beast Fu Changsheng, he can reach Huainan Prefecture before sunset. If we don't take action now, we will have no chance."

Old Man Yang hesitated for a while.

He gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, let's wait until midnight and start!"

Fu Changsheng has a third-level spiritual weapon on him.

Naturally, the couple would not be stupid enough to confront each other head-on.

It was midnight.

The witch opened her mouth, and a magical light flashed, and a poisonous insect flew out and sank into the ground.

The Yin and Yang Evil couple fled from Southern Xinjiang to the Great Zhou. Their life-saving magic weapons were different from those of the cultivators in the Great Zhou. They used poisonous insects as their magic weapons.
