Chapter 199: Flesh Refining Realm, Happy Events, Family Planning

Yunshan County fiefdom.

After finishing his chores, Brother Fan calculated that the day after tomorrow would be the full moon for his fourth and fifth brothers. They had not celebrated their third birthdays, so they would probably have to do something about it. So he went to Mu Song Garden in person to ask Liu Meizhen for instructions:
"Mother, what specifications do you plan to use for the full moon banquet for my fourth and fifth brothers?"

Liu Meizhen was comprehending Fu Changsheng's new recipe for the Yang Yuan Pill, and occasionally wrote a few words on the jade slip. When she heard this, she didn't even raise her head:

"Your father is still in seclusion, and your sister and Grandmaster Yu are busy preparing to upgrade their spiritual veins with the tribesmen. They are all very busy. There is no need to make a big fuss about this full moon banquet. If your second brother comes back from the Shiwan Mountains, the whole family can just have a meal together."

After all, the two younger brothers are the sons of the clan leader.

It is really unacceptable to just fool around with the full moon party. On the day of the full moon, poor families in the secular world would treat the villagers to a meal even if they had to borrow food.

Fan Ge'er wanted to give some advice, but Liu Meizhen had already waved her hand:
"Just go and do your thing"

"Yes, mother"

Fan Ge'er had to swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Arriving at the baby room next door, the nurse was changing diapers for two children. When she saw Fan Ge'er coming in, she hurriedly tried to greet him, but Fan Ge'er raised his hand to stop her. In the end, he couldn't help but asked:
"How often does the mother come to the baby's room? Answer truthfully."

Upon hearing this, the two wet nurses hurriedly lowered their heads.

whispered:
"Reporting to the young clan leader, there has been no news since the mistress returned to the mountain."

The sound behind was almost inaudible.

Fan Ge'er frowned, he remembered that his wet nurse had mentioned to him that when the three siblings were born, their mother personally fed them breast milk, put the milk by their beds day and night, and got up several times at night for fear that they would be cold and hungry. Why was she so cold to his fourth and fifth brothers?

Fan Ge'er was full of doubts.

On the day of the full moon.

Because Rong Ge'er and Ouyang Fei had not returned since entering the Shiwandashan Mountains, Liu Meizhen even cancelled the family dinner.

It was supposed to be a festive day, but the Fu family was deserted.

The gate of Luofeng Mountain.

Patriarch Cao and Patriarch He came together. Seeing that the Fu family was deserted, they were also a little puzzled. Patriarch Cao asked, "Brother He, are you sure that today is the full moon banquet for Patriarch Fu's two sons?"

Patriarch He would naturally not remember it wrong.

After all, Liu Meizhen gave birth to twins in Zhenshisi, and the news was widely spread in Wanning market.

After the two of them stood still.

The tribesman guarding the gate saw them and immediately sent a message to Fan Ge'er. He also became alert and asked, "What are the two tribe leaders doing here?"

In the mountains.

When Fan Ge'er got a report from his clansmen that the heads of the Cao and He families were coming to celebrate the full moon, he was confused. His family had nothing to do with the Cao and He families. What was going on between the two families? He was only in the late stage of Qi training, so he was naturally not qualified to receive the heads of two ninth-grade families. Therefore, he ran to the top of the mountain to ask Liu Meizhen for instructions:

"Mother, can we meet the head of the He and Cao families?"

"Since you are here to congratulate me, you must meet me. Lead me to the meeting room."

Liu Meizhen put down the jade slip in her hand without any surprise on her face. She changed into formal clothes, sat down in the conference room, and brewed a pot of Wuling tea. When Patriarch Cao and Patriarch He came in, they just smelled the faint fragrance of tea.

Patriarch He raised his eyebrows.

Liu Meizhen is indeed an expert in alchemy. She can brew such an ordinary spiritual tea as Wuling Tea with such a refreshing aroma.

The three of them greeted each other and sat down.

Liu Meizhen cast a spell on the center of the formation in the meeting hall:

"My two fellow Taoists, my husband is in seclusion. If you have anything to say, I can pass it on to him when he comes out."

Patriarch Cao and Patriarch He looked at each other.

Didn't see the real owner.

However, they heard that Liu Meizhen was also influential in the Fu family, so they considered it and said:

"Madam Fu, I'm sure your Fu family is also aware of the situation in the Shiwan Mountains. As the beast tide approaches, more and more monsters are appearing, and many of them are at the second level. Once the beast tide breaks out, we, as the front line, will definitely bear the brunt of it."

Patriarch Cao glanced at Liu Meizhen and saw that she was unmoved.

Then he said:
"Our ancestors from the Cao and He families may have had some misunderstandings about your Fu family, but death is like the extinguishing of a lamp, and the past is over. What Patriarch He and I think is that there is no conflict between the three families in terms of fundamental interests. How about we make peace with each other and focus our energy on resisting the beast tide. What do you think, Madam Fu?"

The peace request came.

Liu Meizhen raised her hand and took a sip of Wuling tea:

"It is better to resolve a feud than to create one. I know what you two Taoist friends are thinking. I will convey all of your information to you when my husband comes out of seclusion."

He looked like he couldn't be bothered by anything.

Patriarch He knew he had to use his trump card, and said with a smile:

"Madam Fu, to show our sincerity, our Cao and He families are willing to act as guarantors for the Yu family in your fiefdom, allowing the Yu family to be promoted to a quasi-ninth-rank family."

Once the Yu family fails to be promoted to the ninth rank.

Both families still have to take considerable risks.

and so.

This is their biggest trump card in this peacemaking attempt.

Liu Meizhen smiled after hearing this.

The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became much more harmonious. The He and Cao families also gave gifts to the twins, but because the Fu family did not hold a full-month banquet, the two did not stay for long.

After seeing off guests.

Liu Meizhen took out the jade talisman for communication, cast a spell into it, and said:
"Miss Qingru, we have found the guarantor for your Yu family's promotion to a quasi-ninth-rank family. You can start preparing now."

In the practice room.

After Fu Changsheng used the power of the stars to temper the last piece of skin on his right foot, he heard a buzzing sound and his body trembled slightly. As his skills were running, a faint starlight flowed:
"After five years, I finally completed the Skin Training Stage and broke through to the Flesh Training Stage!"

Without the assistance of spiritual medicines and materials, and relying solely on meditation to absorb and refine the power of the stars, the speed of cultivation is quite slow.

Follow this pace.

If he wants to cultivate to perfection in the tendon refining stage, it will take at least thirty to forty years.

Even if there is a system's [Training Room] that triples the flow rate, it will still take more than ten years, which means it will consume more than 10,000 family contribution points.

This number is too large:

“It seems that in the next Canglan Secret Realm, we can see if there is a spiritual object that can speed up the practice of the Nine Heavens Star Art.”

Fu Changsheng took back his magic.

He glanced at the hourglass placed next to him.

Unconsciously, nine years have passed in the training room, and three years have passed outside. The Canglan Secret Realm is about to open:

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

A thought.

next moment.

There was a sudden spin.

In a blink of an eye, he returned to his secret room.

A wave of sleeves.

The Yunhuan Purple Fairy Tower floated out, and his spiritual consciousness fell into the first floor of the pagoda. In nine years, by continuously feeding them Soul-Feeding Pills, he successfully cultivated nearly a thousand first-order mid-stage Soul-Eating Insects again. When he went into seclusion a few more times, he should be able to produce one or two more second-order Soul-Eating Insects.

His eyes fell on the second floor of the pagoda.

But I saw the green-faced white fox huddled in a corner practicing.

At first, the Green-faced White Fox was unwilling to sign a contract with him. Fu Changsheng isolated it from all spiritual energy and starved it for several months. At this time, the Green-faced White Fox's willpower had weakened, or perhaps it felt the leisurely and comfortable cultivation of other spirit pets in the pagoda and felt a little envious, so it opened its mind and signed a spirit pet contract with Fu Changsheng.

Nine years passed.

The green-faced white fox has also successfully broken through to the late first stage.

The intelligence only provided approximate information but not the specific location. Every time he had to spend a lot of energy to search for it. Now that he had the green-faced white fox, with its talent for treasure hunting, it was undoubtedly a great help.

Fu Changsheng looked at the Huangshi Medicine Garden again. Although the growth rate of the fourth-level green lotus had increased slightly with the blessing of the Spirit Eye Tree, it would still take some time to mature.

A spell was cast into the magic circle in the secret room.

The magic circle light curtain was unveiled.

Come out from the secret room.

The giggling of a child came from the front yard.

His consciousness swept away.

I found two little kids around two years old in the yard chasing after the Snow Cloud Chicken. Two nurses were saying in unison behind them:
"Fourth Young Master/Fifth Young Master, run slower, or you won't get pecked by the Snow Cloud Chicken."

Fu Changsheng was stunned for a moment.

Before he went into seclusion, he did have sex with Mei Zhen. Could it be that she got pregnant at that time? The dates are similar, and one of the two children looks very similar to him:
"Meizhen gave birth to twins again"

Fu Changsheng was delighted, and Cao Xiang'er flashed through his mind. By now, Cao Xiang'er should have given birth to a child. At that time, the other party promised that once she became pregnant, the child would be raised by him:
"Could it be..." Fu Changsheng's spiritual sense fell on the two children playing in the yard again, but he did not see any resemblance to Cao Xianger on their faces.

Walk from the backyard to the front yard.

When the nurse saw Fu Changsheng, she immediately bowed:

"Meet the Master"

At the same time, he whispered to the two little kids to call for help.

The two little kids just looked at Fu Changsheng curiously, then turned around and buried their heads in the arms of the wet nurse. The wet nurse hurriedly explained:

"Master, the two young masters are shy, so they will be fine once they get to know you better."

Fu Changsheng was afraid that the child would cry, so he did not force her. He glanced around and found that Meizhen and the others were not in the yard. Seeing this, the nurse hurriedly said:
"Reporting to the Patriarch, Grandmaster Yu said that today is the day for the spiritual vein upgrade, so the mistress and the young patriarch are all gathered outside waiting."

Before retreat.

He once gave Fan Ge'er a sum of spirit stones and asked Master Yu to help upgrade the spirit vein in the fiefdom to the second-grade top-grade one. According to Master Yu's speed, it should be done within a year, so why was it delayed until now?

A thought.

A lotus platform appeared under his feet. He stepped on the lotus platform and flew out of the front yard. He saw that almost all the clansmen gathered at the family archway at the mountain gate.

Liu Meizhen was the first to see Fu Changsheng and waved:

"Husband"

Wait for Fu Changsheng to fall.

Liu Meizhen took a quick look with her spiritual sense, and a look of joy immediately appeared on her face:

"Congratulations to my husband for breaking through to the eighth level of foundation building!"

One step further is the ninth level of foundation building, which is already the high-end combat power of Huainan Prefecture.

Fan Ge'er also stepped forward to congratulate.

in the crowd.

Fu Changli was also there, and at this moment he stepped forward with a cheerful face and said with a smile:

"Master, I have lived up to your expectations. I successfully broke through to the foundation-building stage two years ago."

The voice just fell.

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

"Ding"

"Your clan member Fu Changli has reached the foundation-building stage and gained 100 attribute points."

Followed by.

The original 500 attribute points remaining on the panel became 600.

Fu Changsheng laughed:
"Okay, okay, okay. In this way, in addition to you and me, my fourth sister, Molan, Meizhen, Uncle Fei, and Uncle Yu, the number of people in our clan who have established their foundation has reached seven. In addition, my spiritual pet Xiaoqing, three second-level soul-eating insects, the millipede mother, the autumn cicada, as well as Molan's wind-breaking beast, Meizhen's two-headed green-eyed giant python, and my fourth sister's second-level queen bee, the total strength of our foundation-building combat power has reached sixteen, which is one more than the fifteen places required for promotion to the eighth rank."

"Master, our Fu family not only has this foundation-building combat power that meets the requirements, but the spiritual vein in front of us will also be promoted to a third-level lower-grade spiritual vein soon."

Third level spiritual vein?

This will cost more than 200,000 spirit stones.

Even if the Fu family was emptied, they still couldn't raise this much money.

Fu Changli chuckled and described in full detail how Liu Meizhen had tricked the Liang family:
"Thanks to the mistress, and the hard work of Master Yu and Yaoyao for two years, once Yaoyao sets down the last formation flag, this spiritual vein will be able to leap to the third level immediately. It's a good time for you to come out of seclusion, Patriarch."

While talking.

But then the entire Taiqiu Mountains began to shake and rumble.

Followed by.

With Taixuan Peak as the center, the four mountains in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest were shaking with a rumbling sound, and there were gusts of cold wind and a spooky aura, followed by dark beams of light shooting up into the sky.

Followed by.

The light shield of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Array fell down with a loud bang, covering the five mountain peaks.

On the top of Taixuan Peak.

Yaoyao's figure flashed and appeared, and she was seen inserting the last formation flag into the Tiangan position.

Followed by.

The spiritual stones that fell on the key nodes of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Formation turned into powder in an instant with a bang, and the vigorous spiritual energy penetrated into the five peaks.

The spiritual energy at this time was so dense that it turned into drifting spiritual rain, pouring on this originally second-grade superior spiritual vein. The Four Spirit Formation arranged by Grandmaster Yu on the spiritual vein lit up with brilliant vortices, and four looming spiritual figures tempered the spiritual rain and sank it into the mountains.

The spiritual vein that originally ran across Taixuan Peak continued to extend, and the spiritual energy of the four adjacent peaks suddenly rose up.

The whole process lasted for half a month.

The final buzz!
All the spirit stones have been completely consumed.

This is the end.

The spiritual vein in the fiefdom was completely upgraded to a third-level spiritual vein.

Yaoyao has been following Grandmaster Yu in setting up this great formation over the past three years. Her attainments in formation formation have clearly risen to a new level, and she is about to break through to the first-class top-grade formation master.

at this time.

Yaoyao is exhausted.

Fu Changsheng hurriedly asked her and the pale-faced Master Yu to go and rest.

Everyone sat down in the meeting hall of Taixuan Peak.

Liu Meizhen waved her sleeves.

The appearance of the five peaks of the fiefdom suddenly appeared. There were dozens of spiritual springs with abundant spiritual energy:
"Husband, when you were in seclusion before, we discussed with Grandmaster Yu and decided to designate Taixuan Peak as the main peak. In addition to the mountaintop dojo, the second-level spiritual spring where your secret room is located was upgraded to the third level, and there is also one in the medicine garden at the Water Curtain Cave in the back mountain waterfall."

“The other four adjacent mountains all have the same number of second-level spiritual springs, which is currently five each.

At the elders meeting last year.

The plan we made at that time was to name these four peaks after the best-developed and most populous branches of our clan, namely Alchemy Peak, Winery, Talisman-making Peak and Spiritual Plant Peak.

among them.

The Equipment Refining Hall will be merged into the Alchemy Peak in the future, so there will be one less Earth Fire House to be built.

The Weaving Hall is closely related to spiritual plants, so it was merged into the Spiritual Plant Peak.

The main peak will be used as the General Affairs Hall, the Council Hall, the Sutra Pavilion, the Treasure Hall, the Merit Hall, and your residence. What do you think of this distribution?"

According to this classification.

It means listing the hundred arts of cultivation as a separate mountain.

The core business involving everyone in the clan is concentrated on the main peak, Taixuan Peak. In this way, the distance between the cultivators of the four peaks is the same, which is more convenient.

Fu Changsheng praised:

"This is a good suggestion. I would like to add that as the number of our clan members increases, especially after they split up into different peaks, not every clan member has the opportunity to communicate. I suggest building a small market at the foot of the mountain. Clan members can take anything they don't need to the market and sell it. They can also exchange for what they need, saving everyone the time of going to the market."

Fu Changli heard this.

laughed:

"Master, this is a very good idea, especially for the Qigong people."

Fu Changsheng thought that a tide of beasts was coming.

There was a pause.

Another sentence:
"The dojo on the top of the sacred mountain of Taixuan Peak is usually used by me for my closed-door training. It is too extravagant. It is better to build it into a martial arts competition arena. Firstly, it can hone the fighting skills of the clan members. Secondly, after the Canglan Secret Realm ends, I plan to hold a small clan competition every three years and a large clan competition every ten years in the future. We will select outer disciples, inner disciples, and elite disciples in turn, and the clan resources will be tilted to different degrees."

Fu Changli was a little worried when he heard this:
"Master, if we divide the clan members into different levels, I'm afraid there will be a lot of disputes in the clan, and I'm afraid that the cohesion will be dispersed, which will not be worth the loss."

Liu Meizhen doesn't think so:

"I think the head of the family has a good idea. After 28 years of development, our Fu family now has nearly a thousand Qigong practitioners. Although the number of people has increased, the resources in the family are limited, especially some high-level spiritual objects. If the family wants to advance to a higher level, it will definitely need more high-level combat power and technicians."

Fu Changli still thinks the same way as before.

We share blessings and share hardships.

However, as the family business grew and the clan members increased, it was obviously impossible for them to eat from the same pot together.

Fu Changsheng considered it for a while:
"Third brother, your considerations are not unreasonable. Of course, these are just my thoughts. When the time comes, we need to brainstorm and perfect the rules. Only when we are sure there are no problems will we implement them."

"Nowadays"

"Our family's goal is to be promoted to an eighth-grade family as soon as possible."

"Now that our foundation-building strength, spiritual vein level, and number of technicians have all reached the standard, there are only two conditions left. One is 20,000 imperial merit points, and the other is the birth of two ninth-grade families in the fiefdom. Currently, our family's imperial merit points are only 3,800, so we have to keep working hard."
