Chapter 182: Three Alliances, Profit Distribution, Three Flower Green Prison Formation

As the chief steward, Fu Changren knew very well how many contribution points everyone in the clan had, so he pondered for a while and said:

"How about setting the contribution value for exchanging for Foundation Establishment Pills at 10,000?"

The amount of ten thousand is not too high to discourage people, nor is it too low. Without the second-level skills, it would be extremely difficult to accumulate ten thousand contribution points. In a sense, this is prepared for the tribesmen with potential.

Everyone looked at each other.

There were no objections in the final vote.

Seeing this, Fu Changren brought up another matter:
"Master, while you were in seclusion, the ninth-rank family memorial archway bestowed by the imperial court was already located at the mountain gate, waiting for you to come out and unveil it. The day after tomorrow at noon is a good day. Master, do you think we can choose this day to unveil the plaque?"

The family archway granted by the imperial court is a symbol of status.

of course.

Another point is that this family archway itself is a third-level spiritual weapon, and it contains the power of the imperial court, which can deter the evil spirits of the aristocratic family.

"Well, then let's choose the day after tomorrow."

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly.

It was a rare occasion for the elders to gather together. They discussed different topics for a long time before dispersing. Fu Changsheng kept Runzhi and Fu Changli.

Liu Runzhi and Fu Changli looked at each other.

There was excitement in the eyes of the two. The head of the family specifically announced the standards for exchanging Foundation Establishment Pills, and kept the two of them who just met the Foundation Establishment requirements. Could it be that there are Foundation Establishment Pills in the family?
Think about it.

The breathing of both of them became rapid.

If you can build a foundation.

That would give you an extra hundred years of lifespan, which is what many low-level cultivators dream of.

The two of them looked at Fu Changsheng eagerly, hoping that he would speak quickly, but also feeling vaguely nervous.

Fu Changsheng didn't keep them waiting and said directly:

"Molan and I were lucky enough to get a few foundation-building pills when we went out before. As you can see, one of them has been taken by Meizhen. I plan to distribute the remaining two to the two of you. Your contribution to the clan over the years has reached 10,000. After the plaque is unveiled the day after tomorrow, you two don't have to leave the clan. You can choose to retreat here. I hope you can break through to the foundation-building stage in one fell swoop."

Hear the words.

Fu Changli reacted very quickly, immediately stood up from his seat, and bowed:

"Thank you for the reward, Patriarch. Changli will definitely live up to your expectations."

Fu Changli's voice brought Liu Runzhi back from her great surprise. Unlike Fu Changli, she joined the Fu family halfway through. Although she worked diligently over the years, she was not of the Fu family. She never expected that the head of the family would really give her such an important foundation-building pill.

For a while.

I was so moved that my eyes became red.

this moment.

Towards the head of the family and the Fu family, she completely recognized and submitted to them from the bottom of her heart, instead of just being grateful and looking for a place to stay at the beginning.

Liu Runzhi bowed deeply to the ground.

Just now.

The familiar mechanical voice resounded in Fu Changsheng's mind:

"Ding"

"Liu Runzhi completely submits to you and the Fu family, and obtains thirty family contribution points."

Followed by.

The contribution value on the panel instantly jumped from one hundred to one hundred and thirty.

The day after tomorrow.

Auspicious day.

Fu Changsheng led the crowd, first opened the ancestral hall, and after offering sacrifices, they came all the way to the mountain gate.

At the mountain gate stands a sixty-meter-high archway.

The entire archway was covered with red cloth.

But the supreme power contained in it cannot be concealed.

Standing under the archway.

It was as if I had really met the monarch, and a sense of awe arose spontaneously.

As Fu Changren read the eulogy, he sang a song of respect.

Fu Changsheng stepped forward and uncovered the red cloth with his own hands.

Under the gaze of everyone.

An ancient and solemn ninth-grade family archway appears before your eyes.

The entire archway is carved from the finest Hanling white jade. The plaque is carved with dragons and phoenixes, which embody the power of the imperial family. Two stone lions guard the two sides of the archway, which are lifelike and seem as if they will jump out at any time.

Fu Changsheng had an idea.

The ninth-rank aristocratic family's jade seal floated out.

As he did so, he entered a spell into the jade seal.

hum!
However, a ray of light from the jade seal fell into the archway. The archway trembled slightly, and then with a bang, it lit up with a bright light. The color of the light was exactly the same red as the jade seal of the ninth-rank family. The entire Luofeng Mountain and Niu Shou Mountain were shrouded in this red color, surrounded by clouds and mist.

Fu Changli, who was watching the ceremony, pointed to the air and exclaimed:
"Look, isn't that the shadow of a dragon?"

Everyone looked up.

But I saw it above the mountain of their tribe.

Sure enough, you can see a red dragon looming.

at this moment.

Their Fu family can be said to have truly entered the ranks of the ninth-grade aristocratic families.

For today's unveiling ceremony, except for the clan members in the fiefdom, all other clan members gathered here. After completing the unveiling ceremony, Fu Changren taught the younger generation the family's development history. The first purpose was to let future generations know that it was not easy for the Fu family to get to this point, the second was to encourage future generations to keep up the good work, and the third was to unite the clan members.

Fu Changsheng just stood there for a while and then retreated quietly.

These two days.

He specifically looked at the plan submitted by Fu Yongshang for establishing the market town and was extremely satisfied.

but.

Once the market is established.

It would be a pipe dream to rely solely on the strength of their Fu family to stabilize this market, so he had to go to the Shangguan family and personally persuade Shangguan Feng.

From Nanyang County to Anyang County, with his strength in the late stage of foundation building, he would arrive in less than half an hour if he flew at full speed.

Arrived at the Shangguan family’s land.

When the guard saw that it was Fu Changsheng, he stepped forward to greet him warmly. After passing the message to Shangguan Feng, he personally took Fu Changsheng to the door of Shangguan Feng's cave.

"Thank you, brother."

Fu Changsheng stuffed a box into the other person's pocket almost invisibly.

The guard quickly put the box into his sleeve and smiled:

"Patriarch Fu, the great elder is waiting inside, you can go in."

Enter the cave.

But Shangguan Feng was sitting at the head of the reception room, frowning and thinking about something. When he saw Fu Changsheng come in, he pointed to a chair beside him and asked him to sit down.

Fu Changsheng didn't waste any time.

Directly stated the purpose of the visit.

Shangguan Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this:
"It's a good idea to create a market, but it's not easy to actually build it. It requires spiritual veins, a mountain protection formation, and high-level cultivators to guard it. Especially since your Yunshan County is located at the border of the Hundred Thousand Mountains and the Eastern Wasteland, it's already full of dangers."

Fu Changsheng handed the revised Fu Yongshang's plan to Shangguan Feng:
"Uncle Feng, high risk brings high returns. Yunshan County has a special geographical location, so once the market is built, there will be no need to worry about the source of customers. The difficulty lies in how to defend the market and prevent it from being divided up by other forces."

Shangguan Feng knocked on the table and narrowed his eyes slightly:
"We now have four eighth-grade families in Huainan Prefecture. If we want to truly make the market run, we must recruit another one."

The Fu family and the Gongsun family didn't get along well, so this was obviously impossible. The Shangguan family and the Nangong family also had an average relationship, so the remaining three eighth-grade families only had the low-key Shi family left.

Fu Changsheng has not yet had any contact with anyone from the Shi family.

I only know that the Shi family has always been very low-key in their work and life, but I don’t know if the other party is tempted by this piece of cake.

Shangguan Feng said:

"Changsheng, I will contact the Shi family. If they are willing to help, then the construction of the market can begin. But if the Shi family does not have this intention, then you can only wait until the Fu family is promoted to the eighth rank before we can slowly plan."

Speaking of which.

Shangguan Feng paused, his eyes fell on Fu Changsheng:
"Changsheng, you have now broken through to the late stage of foundation building, and it is time to start preparing to open up the Purple Mansion. If you want to know the secret of the Purple Mansion, according to the current situation of the cultivation world in our Great Zhou, only by becoming an eighth-grade family can you know the secret."

Although he also wanted to tell Fu Changsheng.

But the court laws did not allow him to reveal anything.

"Thank you Uncle Feng for your advice."

Fu Changsheng stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.

He is only at the seventh level of foundation building now, and there is still some time before he can break through to the peak of foundation building. During this period of time, as long as the clan members are united, it should not be a problem to be promoted to the eighth level.

He was more worried about the demon cave that was about to erupt:
"Uncle Feng, do you have any information about the monsters? The monster cave is about to break out, and I want to let my people get familiar with it first, so that they won't be caught off guard when they go to the battlefield." Shangguan Feng patted his storage bag, and a flash of light appeared. In an instant, a jade slip floated towards Fu Changsheng:

"This jade slip records the characteristics of the monsters that our Shangguan family encountered in the Demon Cave last time. However, the reason why monsters are called monsters is that they are strange and changeable. Especially after the second outbreak, I am afraid that this Demon Cave is more complicated and the monsters are more strange. So you can just take a look at this jade slip and don't form a fixed mindset."

Fu Changsheng thanked him quickly.

Shangguan Feng said:

"Since we are going to build a market town, it would be best to complete it before the Demon Cave erupts. Otherwise, once the Demon Cave erupts, our several major families will not be able to spare any manpower. Changsheng, are you willing to go with me to the Shi Family?"

"Everything is subject to Uncle Feng's arrangements"

The two of them immediately left Shangguan's house and arrived at the Shi family's mountain gate.

The Shi family's eighth-grade family archway seemed even more majestic and spectacular than their ninth-grade one, and was ten feet higher. The two waited at the mountain gate for a while.

Accompanied by the surge of the formation light curtain.

But Chief Shi, dressed as an old farmer, came to greet them personally:

"It is a great honor for my humble abode to have you two fellow Taoists here. Please come in, please come in."

Patriarch Shi had a simple and honest look on his face, without any spiritual energy fluctuations on his body. Fu Changsheng subconsciously used his magic power to activate his eyes, and saw a flash of spiritual light in his eyes. When it fell on Patriarch Shi again, he could feel the other party's vast magic power. It was surprising that he was the same as Shangguan Feng, and had reached the peak of the foundation building level.

Fu Changsheng felt awe in his heart.

Patriarch Shi lives a secluded life.

He also learned a secret technique to conceal his aura of cultivation.

Many people do not know what his specific cultivation level is. If his eyes had not been wiped with Mingqing Spirit Water and gained magical powers, he would not be able to tell the other party's cultivation level at this moment.

Fu Changsheng just took a glance and then looked away.

Patriarch Shi seemed to have noticed it immediately, and looked at Fu Changsheng meaningfully. After the three of them sat down, the servants served tea. Patriarch Shi looked at Fu Changsheng with some admiration and said with a smile:
"Patriarch Fu has already broken through to the late stage of foundation building at such a young age. The young are indeed formidable. Fellow Daoist Shangguan, it seems that we can no longer refuse to admit our age."

A thirty-nine-year-old cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

This is not common in their Jingzhou. If this boy had not died halfway, it would be entirely possible for him to become a master of Zifu. Otherwise, he would not have gone out to greet him in person.

The three of them chatted for a while.

Shangguan Feng cast a soundproofing spell, then slapped his storage bag and handed the information about the establishment of the market town that Fu Changsheng had submitted to Patriarch Shi.

Patriarch Shi opened it and took a look.

He raised his eyebrows.

Fu Changsheng checked the other person's face himself, but found that the other person did not show any expression of agreement or disagreement. Looking at Shangguan Feng, Shangguan Feng was also calm and composed.

I couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that when facing these old monsters who have lived for almost a hundred years.

His cunning and ability are still too shallow.

After a while.

Patriarch Shi then put down the jade slip and stroked his beard, saying:

"My two fellow Taoists, I'm sure you all know that our Shi family has always been low-key in our work. This grand opening of a market is not in line with our Shi family's style of doing things."

The implication.

Can talk.

But they need enough benefits to be interested.

On the way here.

Shangguan Feng and Fu Changsheng have already talked about the revenue from the market town, because they have to guard against not only attacks from monsters in the Ten Thousand Mountains, but also possible attacks from the tribes in the Eastern Wilderness, as well as other jealous families who didn't get a piece of the pie. So if they want the Shi family to contribute, they must have enough benefits to impress them.

Shangguan Feng said solemnly:

"Chief Shi, you know me well. I don't like beating around the bush when I speak or do things. The market was originally built in the land of the Changsheng clan, and the plan was also drawn up by the Fu family, so the income from the market is distributed 4:3:3. In addition, the manpower and material resources for building the market will be shared equally by the three families. If you agree, please nod your head. This is our greatest sincerity."

In addition, the Fu family is the host and earns an additional 10% in profits.

Chief Shi was obviously stunned for a moment.

He originally thought that the Shi family would only get 20% of the profits from their participation, but he did not expect that the Shangguan family and the Fu family would be so generous and the profits would be almost equally divided among the three families.

Once the market is truly up and running.

That was a huge profit, and he couldn't help but be tempted.

of course.

There is an even more important reason.

There are currently only four eighth-rank families in the entire Huainan Prefecture.

Some time ago.

He received the message that the Gongsun family was jumping up and down, and it was obvious that they had formed an alliance with another eighth-rank family, the Nangong family.

at the moment.

The Shi family has only one choice, which is to form a united front with the Shangguan family. Otherwise, at the Eighth-Rank Family Meeting, the Nangong family and the Gongsun family will have the final say.

If the alliance wants to work closely together, the most reliable way is to bind them together through interests. The emergence of this market town is undoubtedly just right.

Chief Shi laughed:
"Fellow Daoist Shangguan and Chieftain Fu have both given up such huge benefits. If I, Shi, still disagree, then I will truly be what others call a stinky stone that cannot adapt!"

Fu Changsheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this.

This way.

Then their Fu family would have an eighth-rank family as a backer, which was why he was willing to give up so much profit.

The three discussed the agenda for the construction of the market town.

The three people had a very unanimous opinion. Since they were going to build a market town, they naturally had to make the final decision and get things done before the other forces could react. In this way, by the time the other party reacted and wanted to sabotage it, it would be too late.

Chief Shi said:

"Now that the location has been decided, what do you two Daoists think about the mountain protection formation in Fangshi?"

Since you ask that.

Patriarch Shi must have made up his mind.

really.

next moment.

Patriarch Shi said:
"In the area where the Hundred Thousand Mountains and the Eastern Wasteland meet, an ordinary second-level magic formation will definitely not be able to defend, so the mountain protection formation in the market must be a third-level magic formation. To be honest, our Shi family's eldest elder is a third-level formation master, and he has a third-level Three-Flower Green Prison Formation in his hands."

"This set of Three Flower Green Prison Formation is an attack and defense combination. It is a fusion of the Moving Wood Maze Formation and the Flowing Light Sword Shadow Formation. Once this formation is deployed, even if a third-level monster or a Purple Mansion master comes, it can be defended."

"but"

"This formation requires at least a second-grade top-grade spiritual vein as its source of energy."

"The formation will be provided by our Shi family, and the second-grade top-grade spirit vein will be improved by the two Taoists together. What do you think of this suggestion?"

A set of third-level magic array is hard to come by, and it is both offensive and defensive. This is enough to show the Shi family's sincerity. Fu Changsheng and Shangguan Feng naturally nodded repeatedly.

The two discussed for a while.

Shangguan Feng and Fu Changsheng communicated:

"Changsheng, how many spirit stones can your Fu family provide?"

The location they chose was Feilong Mountain, which was guarded by a second-level monster. There was a second-level low-grade spirit vein in the mountain. To upgrade it to the second-level top-grade, it would require at least nearly 200,000 spirit stones.

Fu Changsheng said truthfully:

"Uncle Feng, right now our Fu family can only offer 60,000 spirit stones."

"Okay, then the rest will be paid by our Shangguan family. However, it will give those old guys in the Shangguan family something to talk about. Changsheng, you lead the clansmen to clear out Feilong Mountain first."

The second-level flying dragon beast is entrenched on Feilong Mountain.

Because this beast has two pairs of wings on its body, it is extremely fast and is good at aerial combat. There are a total of four second-level flying dragon beasts on Feilong Mountain.

Shangguan Feng paused:
"Changsheng, can your Fu family handle it?"

Flying dragon beasts are social monsters. In addition to the second-level ones, there are also many first-level ones.

So Shangguan Feng was still worried that the Fu family would not be able to cope with it.

Fu Changsheng has already broken through to the late stage of foundation building. He is thinking about trying out the power of the purple divine light and the evil-repelling divine thunder. It shouldn't be a problem to deal with a second-level monster if he takes his time.
"Uncle Feng, I'll go investigate first. If I can't handle it, I'll ask you for help."

"It's still too dangerous for you to go alone. Anyway, you have to pass through Tianlong City to go to Feilong Mountain. You can take Hongyu with you. It's always good to have someone to help take care of you."

"it is good"

Fu Changsheng did not refuse.

The three families had to build the market in secret.

So the two of them came to the Shi family using invisibility. After they separated, they went to Feilong Mountain via Luofeng Mountain, so he brought Molan with him.

Molan spent six years refining the Bone Cold Spirit Fire and directly broke through to the fourth level of foundation building. This surprised Fu Changsheng a little, but when he thought that this Bone Cold Spirit Fire was ranked more than 80th on the strange fire rankings, he felt it was reasonable.

On the way to Feilong Mountain.

He still had the same idea as before:
"Exchange information!"
