Chapter 192: Winning the championship and receiving huge rewards
The Liang family elder and the Cui clan leader immediately looked at Fu Changsheng nervously, only to see Fu Changsheng pat his storage bag. A flash of light appeared, and a box floated towards the Liang elder:
"Friend Liang, here are the ten second-level lower-grade magic beads you requested. We are now even."
"Haha, Mr. Fu is really a straightforward person."
The Liang family's eldest elder took the box, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and couldn't help but feel more satisfied. He handed the box to the Liang clan leader with a smile, and congratulated him in advance:
"Patriarch, the champion of this family competition has fallen to our Liang family."
Patriarch Liang also had a smile on his face as he handed over all the magic crystals and magic beads to the counting table.
Patriarch Cui used his spiritual sense to roughly estimate that the Liang family had about 306 imperial merit points, which was just a fraction more than their family. If the Fu family had not participated, the leader would have belonged to their Cui family.
"Next"
After the Liang family finished counting, the people from the Zhenshi Division immediately looked up at Fu Changsheng:
"Does your Fu family have any magic crystals to hand over?"
In their view.
The Fu family only sent three people to build their foundation, and some were given to the Liang family, so there were probably not many left.
Fu Changsheng took a step forward and slapped his storage bag. A flash of light appeared, a crackling sound was heard, and a pile of magic crystals fell on the counting table.
This was obtained by killing the demon soldiers in Yunsangtian Town.
Seeing this, everyone nodded, thinking that the Fu family only had these few magic crystals left.
The person counting the items was about to say the final number when Fu Changsheng handed over another magic pattern box: "Anything else?"
The person counting the items was stunned for a moment, and his spiritual sense swept into the magic pattern box. Then his body shook, and he looked up at Fu Changsheng in disbelief.
The other noble families were about to come forward to congratulate the Liang family.
Seeing this situation, everyone turned their heads around. Could there be any other unexpected events?
"Gudong"
The person doing the counting swallowed hard.
A spell was cast into the magic pattern box, black light surged, and in front of everyone's eyes, magic beads fell from the box onto the counting table:
One.
Three pieces.
Five pieces.
Thirteen.
When you count to twenty pieces.
Lin Tianfu and his wife were the first to lose their composure.
The Fu family had clearly transferred ten to the Liang family, so how could there still be twenty? Doesn't that mean the three members of the Fu family killed at least thirty second-level demon generals in there?
But if he remembered correctly.
The three towns that the Fu family is in charge of only have three second-level magic generals.
How come so many magic beads suddenly appeared?
"what on earth is it?"
Vaguely.
He felt like he was missing something.
The Liang family's elder was greatly shocked at this time. If the Fu family did not give him the ten magic beads, then the leader would be the Fu family:
"so close"
Patriarch Liang and the eldest elder of the Liang family looked at each other.
Patriarch Liang laughed and said:
"I've always heard that Patriarch Fu is extremely smart, but in the end he was held back by so-called friendship. Tsk tsk tsk, he is still too young after all."
If it were him.
He would certainly not give the ten magic crystals to other families.
Elder Liang felt something was amiss. Considering Shangguan Feng's friendship with the Fu family, it was impossible that he had not leaked the information about the Canglan Secret Realm quota to Fu Changsheng. Fu Changsheng was not crazy, so how could he be so stupid as to give up the top spot when he could obviously get it?
That is the only possibility.
The remaining soul crystals and soul beads in Fu Changsheng's hands are enough to make the Fu family the leader:
"Impossible, how did the Fu family manage to get in with only three foundation-building masters?!"
The thought just passed.
However, the personnel who were counting the soul beads continued to take them out.
Twenty-one.
Twenty-three pieces.
Twenty-six.
When it reached twenty-eight pieces.
The eldest elder of the Liang family was immediately so nervous that his throat was in a state of panic. If he took out another soul bead, then the position of the leader would change hands.
In full view.
But the counting personnel took out three soul beads again.
Not counting the merit points of the soul crystal, just these thirty-one magic beads are enough to establish the Fu family as the leader.
Elder Liang's expression changed slightly:
"This Fu family is really a hidden treasure!"
Chief Cui was also stunned for a moment. Seeing the Liang family and others change from a smug look to an expression as if they had eaten shit, he immediately felt very happy:
"Congratulations to Patriarch Fu for winning the championship!"
The Ghost Fairy at the back of the crowd gritted her teeth and sent a message to Lin Tianfu:
"My husband, I made a mistake in judgment. The Fu family entered the Demon Realm probably because of some chance. Otherwise, they would not have been able to obtain so many soul beads. I shouldn't have advised you to change your allies."
The Ghost Fairy wanted to slap herself twice.
Lin Tianfu also felt regretful. If he followed the Fu family, although he couldn't eat meat, he could still drink soup. However, there was no regret medicine for the aristocratic family:
"Madam, it's over now. There's no point in saying more. At least we made it out of the Demon Realm alive. Look, the Ping family died directly in the Demon Realm, and even the Gongsun family was almost buried there."
Just when everyone thought that the person counting the soul beads had taken out the last three, they saw that the other party's hands were constantly moving, and he took out magic beads one by one:
"This is."
The second and third elders of the Cao family, who were watching in the crowd, looked at each other and were shocked when they saw this. Fortunately, they listened to the advice of the clan leader and did not provoke the Fu family. Otherwise, with the Fu family's extraordinary luck, they would probably die if they faced the Fu family.
"There are already thirty-eight pieces, and there are more!"
"Thirty-nine, forty now! Oh my God!!"
Several ninth-rank families couldn't help but gather around, with exclamations coming from the crowd one after another. The four eighth-rank families who were originally discussing important matters on the other side were also attracted here.
The four families came forward one after another.
When you see a table filled with magic crystals and magic beads.
He also looked at Fu Changsheng with shock.
At this moment.
They have only one idea.
That is, could it be that this soul bead was picked up by the Fu family and others? Otherwise, how could they, with the strength of the three of them, kill more than forty second-level demon generals? That is equivalent to more than twenty foundation-building cultivators.
just.
The counting personnel continued to take out the magic beads.
forty-three
Forty-eight
Fifty pieces.
Fifty-six.
This is the end.
The Fu family had three more magic beads than the Nangong family, which was the eighth-grade family that surrendered the most.
The people of the Ninth Rank Family and others were already numb with shock.
On the other hand, the four eighth-rank families looked at Fu Changsheng with a hint of scrutiny and calculation.
The counting personnel finally sang:
"30 pieces of first-grade special magic crystals, 60 pieces of first-grade superior magic crystals, 100 pieces of first-grade medium magic crystals, 100 pieces of second-grade inferior magic beads, 100 pieces of second-grade medium magic beads"
"The Fu family has obtained a total of 3,696 imperial merit points!"
This statement came out.
The crowd immediately became excited.
The Liang family thought they had won the first place, but they only had a little over 300 imperial merit points. Now, it turns out that they have not even a fraction of what the Fu family has.
And among the eighth-rank families.
The Nangong family, which obtained the most soul crystals and soul beads, only received 600 imperial merit points, which is a fraction of the Fu family.
The amount of imperial merit points that the Fu family had earned this time was more than all the eighth-rank and ninth-rank families combined!
After the count was shocked, the staff were so happy that they could not even see their eyebrows and their faces became much softer and more friendly:
"Patriarch Fu, according to the court rules, the magic beads and magic crystals need to be handed over. However, in addition to rewarding you with merit points, we will also make up the difference for you. Your Fu family has a total of 13,678 low-grade spirit stones. Let's round it up to 13,700 spirit stones. I will make up for the shortfall."
The fact that the people of the Zhenshi Division were able to pay tribute to the imperial court with so many magic beads was also a meritorious deed. Otherwise, how could they have taken spirit stones out of their pockets?
"Please, Chief Fu, bring up your identity token."
The imperial seals of aristocratic families are usually used to suppress those in the clan’s territory.
The clan leader identity token can also be used to record court merit points.
Fu Changsheng handed over the token:
"Good work."
Wait until he steps back.
Yu Qingru also handed over some magic crystals, and the total imperial merit points of their Yu family just reached 100.
Cao Xianger coughed lightly at this time:
"Now that everyone is here, I have an important announcement to make."
Everyone heard this.
They all turned their envious gazes away from Fu Changsheng.
Most people have guessed that it is about the quota allocation of Canglan Secret Realm, but the Lin family is still confused. When Patriarch Cui saw Lin Tianfu looking at him, he immediately avoided him with a guilty conscience.
Seeing this, Lin Tianfu felt a little uneasy.
Cao Xianger looked around at everyone and said loudly:
"Everyone present has contributed to the reinforcement and sealing of the Demon Realm this time. However, this year's Canglan Secret Realm is different from previous years. Because the dynasty has strongly supported the establishment of new immortal cultivation families in various places, the number of places in our Huainan Prefecture has been greatly reduced compared to previous years. The number of places for eighth-grade families remains the same as in previous years, but the number of places for ninth-grade families will be determined based on the performance of the Demon Realm this time."
"The specific quota allocation was determined before you entered the Demon Realm, and it also has the seal of your superior family."
The words have not yet fallen.
Lin Tianfu and his wife seemed to have been struck by lightning and could not move a muscle.
Muttering in his mouth:
"How could this be? How could this be?!"
If the places are really allocated according to the merit points obtained this time.
Then their Lin family doesn't have any merit points, so they missed the opportunity to get to the Canglan Secret Realm. It is said that there are many foundation-building spiritual objects in the Canglan Secret Realm, which is a great opportunity to expand the family.
this.
This time they really picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelons!
Should have known so.
They should have teamed up with the Fu family from the beginning.
He should never have sold the few soul beads he had to the Cui family. The Cui family looked honest on weekdays, but they were more ruthless than anyone else when it came to scheming people.
the other side.
After Cao Xiang'er finished speaking, she gave a wink to the maid next to her.
The maid hurriedly took half a step forward, holding a scroll in both hands, and then slowly unfolded it.
Everyone's eyes immediately fell on the scroll:
"The quota is allocated based on the court merit points obtained in the Demon Realm."
"Five second place winners, three third place winners, two fourth place winners, and one from fifth to seventh place winner. Among them, if the total merit value of the noble family does not reach 50, they cannot use the quota temporarily."
The second place is the Liang family, the third place is the Cui family, the fourth place is the Qi family and the Hong family. The merit values of these two families are surprisingly consistent, as if they had made an appointment. The fifth place is the He family, and the sixth place is the Cao family. Ping Xinghai died tragically in the Demon Realm, so the Lin family was automatically promoted to seventh place. However, because they did not have any merit points, their place in the Canglan Secret Realm was naturally deprived.
When Lin Tianfu saw the list, he felt stars in front of his eyes and a sweet and fishy taste came from his throat.
He snorted coldly.
He immediately left with the Ghost Fairy.
the other side.
Everyone looked carefully for a long time, but did not see the quota allocated to the champion. After seeing the difference in merit points between the Liang family and the Fu family, the imbalance in the Liang family's heart disappeared. After all, they were also quite satisfied with the five quotas because the Fu family won the second place. However, they could not help but be curious about how many quotas the Fu family won:
"Palace Master Cao, I wonder how many top prizes there are?"
Fu Changsheng was also feeling a bit nervous and expectant at this time.
According to the quota allocation rules, the Fu family can get at least six places, and if they are lucky, they can get seven.
Palace Master Cao flicked his index finger.
A ray of light hit the scroll.
However, a line of text slowly appeared in the blank space above the second place:
"The top winner gets nine places"
nine? !
Patriarch Liang almost exclaimed.
That’s nearly double their runner-up finish.
He immediately looked at Fu Changsheng with infinite envy, and at the same time his mind raced:
"The Fu family, including its affiliated families, only has four people who have established their foundation. Doesn't that mean there are five more places available?"
just.
The favor the Fu family owed them has been repaid.
Otherwise, he could ask the Fu family for another spot.
The Cui family, the Qi family, and the Hong family had the same idea as him. The He family and the Cao family only had one quota, so they also wanted to establish a relationship with the Fu family. However, because of the previous grudges between them, it was obvious that the extra quota of the Fu family would not fall to them. They could only sigh and leave on their flying swords.
And at this time.
Fu Changsheng was instantly surrounded by representatives from other families.
They all wanted to buy a place to enter the Demon Realm, and even the eighth-grade families were no exception.
Shangguan Feng saw this and rushed forward to scold him:
"They are all important people, how can they be like vendors in the vegetable market? They all dispersed, all dispersed. If you are interested, you can visit them another day."
talking.
Shangguan Feng protected Fu Changsheng and the other two and fled directly from Qili Mountain.
After arriving at an empty place with no one.
Fu Changsheng then heaved a sigh of relief. The allocation of quotas by the Zhenshi Division was really beyond his expectations and was a pleasant surprise.
Shangguan Feng stroked his beard and said:
"Changsheng, how are you going to allocate the five extra places in your Fu family?"
"Uncle Feng, my fourth sister has already established her foundation not long ago, and another member of the clan is also in seclusion to sprint to establish her foundation, so there are actually only three places left. Uncle Feng, how many places are your Shangguan family still short of?"
"If you can allocate one, you can sell one to our Shangguan family. According to the market price in previous years, one place to enter the Canglan Secret Realm costs 10,000. However, you need to be a descendant of an aristocratic family or a vassal family to build a foundation before you can enter."
At the beginning, anyone who practices Qi can enter the Canglan Secret Realm.
No one knows what happened later, but now only those with foundation-building skills can enter the secret realm.
Shangguan Feng pointed out:
"Changsheng, your Fu family can make good use of the extra quota this time. It can be used to form an alliance or to win over other forces. It is a good bait. Don't give it away easily."
"Thank you Uncle Feng for your advice. Uncle Feng, when the time comes, please send me the names of the Shangguan family members who will enter the secret realm, and I will report them to the Zhenshi Division for review."
"Well, then Hongyu will let you enter the secret realm together."
Fu Changsheng felt relieved.
Giving this spot to Hongyu is obviously much better than the other unfamiliar strangers in the Shangguan family.
Shangguan Feng finished speaking.
He slapped the storage bag, a light flashed, and a box floated towards Fu Changsheng.
Shangguan Feng never drags his feet in doing things.
After Fu Changsheng took it, he scanned it with his spiritual sense.
He found that there were 120 middle-grade spirit stones neatly stacked inside, which was equivalent to 12,000 low-grade spirit stones. "Uncle Feng, you gave me 20 extra middle-grade spirit stones."
talking.
Fu Changsheng was about to take out the extra ones, but was stopped by Shangguan Feng:
"It's hard to get a spot to enter the Canglang Secret Realm this time. Two thousand extra low-grade spirit stones are nothing. You can sell us this spot. It means our Shangguan family owes you a favor. Don't worry, the old guys in the Shangguan family won't say anything. Just accept it."
That's the case.
Fu Changsheng did not hesitate and accepted the spirit stones generously.
Shangguan Feng escorted them all the way back to Luofeng Mountain before leaving.
The mountain gate.
Fu Zhihong, who received the news, was waiting early.
Seeing Fu Changsheng and the other two coming back, he hurried forward:
"Master, Molan, and Chief Yu, you have all worked hard. I have asked the clansmen to prepare a welcoming banquet. It is ready. Master, you..."
"Brother, we are all family, we don't need to do these nonsense."
Fu Changsheng did not stop all the way.
After arriving at the meeting hall, a spell was cast into the formation, and a light curtain of the formation rose up in an instant:
"Molan, you said on the way that you had something to discuss with me, now you can tell me."
Fu Changsheng's mind flashed with the intelligence that mentioned that after Molan entered the Star Gate, she would undergo a trial related to mechanical puppets, and most of what she was going to say was probably related to that.
as predicted.
Fu Molan slapped her storage bag.
A flash of glow.
Suddenly, boxes floated out one after another, accompanied by spells being cast in, and the restrictions in the boxes were revealed. It was found that all of them were second-grade top-grade fire tin wood, iron-horned rhinoceros horn, and five-color wood:
"Master, these materials are all obtained from the residence of General Weiwu. With these materials, plus I have mastered the soul-pulling, soul-condensing and soul-refining techniques in the Puppet Scripture, I believe that if I am given a few years, it will not be a problem to refine a second-level puppet!"
Now the Fu family still lacks two foundation-building fighters.
If Fu Molan could refine another second-order puppet, all he would need would be a foundation-building combat force.
Fu Changsheng smiled and nodded:
"Molan, I'll wait for your good news. However, the Canglan Secret Realm should be opened within the next two or three years. Molan, I suggest you use it to improve your cultivation strength. It seems that it's not just our Huainan Prefecture cultivators who will enter the Canglan Secret Realm this time. Since Huaibei Prefecture is also participating in the battle of the Demon Realm, they will most likely get a place to enter as well."
"Thank you for your advice, Patriarch."
Fu Molan had just obtained a batch of second-level puppet materials and was thinking of starting to refine them right away, but she immediately gave up the idea after hearing this.
at the same time.
A familiar mechanical sound rang out in Fu Changsheng's sea of consciousness.
