Chapter 211: Actively Showing Good Will, Phantom of Mist and Clouds, Secret Chamber of the Purple Mansion
Fu Yongyi opened the box and found a spiritual weapon inside. He handed it back hastily as if it were a hot yam.
"Master, this treasure is too valuable. I cannot accept it."
The head of the family has five children and an adopted son, who will soon marry a daughter-in-law. Such an important treasure should be given to the sons and daughters of the head of the family. If he really accepted it, it would be too conspicuous.
Fu Changsheng pushed the treasure-hunting instrument back:
"I can't refuse a gift from an elder. You have found precious mineral veins for the family many times. Let alone one spiritual weapon, you deserve any number of treasures."
Firm tone.
Fu Yongyi was very moved. He took it with both hands and said excitedly:
"Thank you for the reward, Patriarch. Please rest assured that Yongyi will find more mineral veins for the Fu family in the future to repay you for the gift of treasure today."
"You kid, that's too polite of you to say. By the way, you are much older than Brother Fan, and you are also at the age of getting married. Do you have a girl you like? No matter which family she is from, as long as you tell me her name, I will definitely find a way to marry you off in style."
"Master, I...I haven't thought about this."
Fu Yongyi shook his head like a rattle.
Perhaps because of the trauma of being abused by his stepmother since childhood, Fu Yongyi instinctively resisted starting a family.
"Okay, I won't force you, just let it be."
Fu Yongyi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Afraid that Fu Changsheng would bring it up again, he quickly said:
"Master, let's go down."
talking.
He slapped a talisman that could allow him to escape underground on his body and rushed underground at an incredible speed.
Fu Changsheng followed closely behind.
Just now.
A familiar mechanical voice came from his mind:
"Ding"
"You gifted a third-level spiritual weapon to a clan member, gained his absolute loyalty, and obtained ninety clan contribution points."
next moment.
The family contribution value on the panel changed to five thousand three hundred and ninety.
A little further north of Liangyun Mountain is the Liang family's fiefdom.
Although the Liang family closed the mountain.
But there are still spies left outside, especially in the border areas of the fiefdom.
After several members of the Fu family showed up at Liang Yunshan, especially after Fu Changsheng showed up in person, the spy did not dare to delay and immediately took out the communication jade talisman, injected a spell into it, and briefly reported the actual situation at Liang Yunshan.
The message was sent back to the Liang family.
Liang Zhishan, who had become the new patriarch of the Liang family, frowned slightly after hearing the news:
"The stone mountain of Liangyun Mountain is a barren land. How could the head of the Fu family appear there?"
Obviously.
There must be something hidden in Liangyun Mountain.
Liang Zhiqing, the only remaining foundation-building elder of the Liang family, was also in the meeting hall. After hearing the message, he hesitated and said, "Master, how about I go out of the mountain and investigate something in Liangyun Mountain?"
"No"
Liang Zhishan waved his hand without thinking:
"Now there are only two foundation-building people left in our Liang family. If Fu Changsheng deliberately lured us there in order to catch us in a trap and reduce the number of foundation-building people in our Liang family, and then get his hands on our fiefdom, then the gain will outweigh the loss."
"Master, the imperial court has issued a ban. No matter how bold the Fu family is, they would not dare to start a war at this time."
Liang Zhiqing was somewhat moved.
After all, if there really were any treasures in Liangyun Mountain, perhaps their Liang family would be able to make a comeback.
Liang Zhishan sighed quietly:
"Brother Qing, you think too simply. Although the court has a ban, this ban is for aristocratic families. If the Fu family really wants to set a trap, there are a hundred ways to avoid the court's punishment. Now we should focus on stability and not think of any unorthodox methods. The auction of the Wanning Chamber of Commerce's Foundation Establishment Pill is about to start, and we should focus on it. This time, no matter what, our Liang family must at least bid for the next Foundation Establishment Pill."
Wanning Chamber of Commerce has released the news.
The number of Foundation Establishment Pills at this auction will be unprecedented.
There was even a vague rumor spreading.
The Wanning Chamber of Commerce is going to auction forty or fifty Foundation Establishment Pills.
Therefore.
Recently.
The shops that purchase supplies are doing brisk business.
Whether it is a Qi training family, a casual cultivator, or an aristocratic family, they are all selling off various supplies in order to raise spirit stones to participate in this auction.
The Foundation Establishment Pills that appeared before were only one or two.
Everyone felt that there was little hope.
But now there are forty or fifty of them, and everyone vaguely feels that as long as they tighten their belts and grit their teeth, they can always buy one.
Bring this up.
Liang Zhiqing was slightly angry:
"Master, the Wanning Chamber of Commerce obviously knew that the beast tide was coming, so they refined a batch of foundation-building pills in advance and waited for us to fight for them. They are giving us disaster money. The court doesn't care about such profiteers."
"Brother Qing, be careful with your words!"
Liang Zhishan glared at Liang Zhiqing.
Even in private.
They also did not dare to speak nonsense about the court.
in fact.
Everyone was vaguely guessing that there must be the shadow of the imperial court behind the Wanning Chamber of Commerce.
If not.
Just as they obtained so many foundation-building elixirs from the Canglan Secret Realm, the Wanning Chamber of Commerce released the news of the auction for the foundation-building pills.
just.
Everyone only dares to think about it in their hearts.
The two discussed for a while about participating in the auction of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
at this time.
An old woman outside the door ran towards the meeting hall crying, and the guards stopped her from a distance: "Madam Liang, this is an important place of the family, not a place you can come to, leave quickly."
Nanny Liang was the personal nanny of the granddaughter of the deceased great elder.
Liang Qianqian was detained.
Nanny Liang was distressed and begged for mercy day and night at the door of the Grand Elder. Everyone in the Manchu family knew this, because Nanny Liang's grandmother was the Grand Elder's wet nurse. Therefore, everyone in the Liang family had some respect for Nanny Liang for the sake of the Grand Elder.
but.
The Great Elder is now dead.
The Liang family has changed dynasties, so Madam Liang no longer has any seniority.
The guard pushed Nanny Liang hard.
Madam Liang raised her voice and shouted at the top of her lungs:
"Master, Master, please save our young lady. Our girl has not eaten or drunk for several months. Her mana has been exhausted. If this continues, our young lady will really die. Master, please, for the sake of the deceased elder, save our young lady. Master, please save our young lady."
inside the hall.
Liang Zhiqing glanced at Madam Liang who was being dragged away, and then glanced at Liang Zhishan who was sitting at the top, and whispered:
"Master, this Madam Liang is in charge of Qianqian. Qianqian... I heard that Qianqian got pregnant before marriage and gave birth to a child of the Fu family in secret. The child was secretly given away for adoption by the deceased elder. However, after the elder died, no one knew where the child was given to."
Liang Zhishan had been in seclusion before.
He really had never heard of this. He rolled his eyes and said hurriedly:
"Whose child in the Fu family is Qianqian giving birth to?"
Vaguely.
Liang Zhishan had some hope that it was Fu Changsheng's.
"It belongs to Fu Changren, the chief steward of the Fu family's Luofeng Mountain clan."
Liang Zhiqing slowly recounted the Great Elder's strategic planning.
Liang Zhishan frowned when he heard this:
"As expected of the Great Elder, he is willing to take ruthless action against even his own granddaughter."
I thought about it for a while.
Leung Chi Shan Road:
"Since Qianqian has made up her mind to die, even if she is saved this time, she will find a way to end her life next time. Brother Qing, send a clan member to lead a matchmaker to go directly to Fu Changsheng and tell him the truth about Qianqian's situation. If Fu Changsheng is still willing to let Qianqian marry him, marry her off in a grand manner, as a favor to the Fu family."
The Fu family is at its peak.
If the two companies can really form an alliance, it would be a good thing.
Although the dispute over the shop in Wanning Market that year seemed to be a trap set by the Fu family, it was the Liang family who were unreasonable first, so he did not think that this was an insurmountable hurdle.
"Master, you are really broad-minded."
Liang Zhiqing praised.
When he was about to leave, Liang Zhishan added:
"Send someone to look for Qianqian's child. It would be even better if we can send the child to the Fu family on the wedding day."
"Yes, Master"
Liang Yunshan.
Fu Changsheng followed Fu Yongyi and continued to sink. After they reached nearly a thousand feet underground, Fu Yongyi finally stopped. He made a gesture with his right hand, and a strange light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
hum!
After a while.
I saw him fleeing several hundred feet to the northwest.
An abundant spiritual energy suddenly came towards me.
Fu Changsheng looked carefully and saw that there were obviously some spiritual lights emerging from the huge rock, which were the spiritual lights emitted by the spiritual stones.
Fu Yongyi flipped his right hand.
He picked up a piece with a small shovel specially used for mining and handed it to Fu Changsheng:
"Master, this spiritual stone mine is almost exposed. It should not be difficult to mine it. However, if a mortal wants to work thousands of feet underground, he needs to set up a magic array to reduce the squeezing force of the space."
"Well, it's good. Although it is a low-grade spirit stone, its quality is top-notch. There are fewer impurities in the spirit stone, and it can be used directly without refining it." Fu Changsheng asked Fu Yongyi to continue checking.
Simultaneously.
A cloud surrounds the Purple Fairy Tower.
The second floor of the tower door opened, white light flashed, and a green-faced white fox suddenly appeared.
The green-faced white fox held its head high with its feet on Fu Changsheng's shoulders. The little fellow was cultivating in the pagoda, and his cultivation progress was rapid. He had already broken through to the late first stage, and his green and white fox tail was shaking slightly.
Fu Changsheng nodded its raised head:
"Xiaobai, go look in the mountains to see if there are any spiritual creatures."
Ever since I tamed this green-faced white fox.
This little fellow hasn't done anything meritorious yet, so he wants to see if his talent for treasure hunting is really that strong. It is precisely because of the Green-faced White Fox that Fu Changsheng gave the treasure hunting instrument to Fu Yongyi. After all, compared to the fixed level of a third-order spiritual weapon, the Green-faced White Fox has unlimited potential.
"chirp"
The green-faced white fox called out reluctantly.
However, after cultivating in the pagoda for so long, it felt that it needed to do something, otherwise it would feel guilty. It raised its tail high and trembled slightly, and then two blue and white spiritual lights emanated from its body, accompanied by the shaking of its tail:
"chirp"
The green-faced white fox flew away to the southwest:
"Hey, there really are spiritual objects hidden here?"
Fu Changsheng's eyes lit up.
He had been planning to try exchanging the information.
Since the Green-faced White Fox has already discovered it, it saves him the family contribution points.
Follow along.
Wherever the green-faced white fox passed, the spiritual energy became more and more dense, and the number of spiritual stones that appeared increased visibly with the naked eye. After escaping to the west for another hundred feet.
The green-faced white fox stopped immediately.
In front of it.
Suddenly there was a light shield shining with five-colored rays of light.
Fu Changsheng swept his spiritual sense.
He discovered that this light shield could not be penetrated by his spiritual sense: "Strange, could this be an ancient cultivator's cave?"
Fu Changsheng did not move the magic circle, and did not act rashly. He rubbed the tail of the green-faced white fox and said, "Xiaobai, you did a good job. Next time if I encounter red fox fruit, I will definitely pick it for you as soon as possible."
Red fox fruit is the favorite of the green-faced white fox.
After taking.
The green-faced white fox can improve one's cultivation.
However, Fu Changsheng put up a bounty list in the family stores in the three markets, but still couldn't find it, so he could only leave it to fate.
"chirp"
The green-faced white fox shook its tail.
He went back into the pagoda and closed his eyes to practice.
Among all of Fu Changsheng's spiritual pets, this one is the most diligent in practicing.
The Green Python was also lurking on the second floor of the pagoda at this time. It had devoured so many foundation-building corpses, and was now slowly refining them. It was estimated that once it had completely digested them, it would be able to break through to the peak of the second level.
Fu Changsheng took out the communication jade talisman, typed a spell, and said a few words. After about half a cup of tea, Yaoyao and Master Yu came together.
Grandmaster Yu glanced at the five-colored light shield.
There was a flash of surprise in his eyes:
"Changsheng, if I'm not mistaken, this five-colored light shield is most likely created by the Fire Fairy. You've found a treasure."
Phantom Fireworks?!
Fu Changsheng's eyes lit up.
This is a must for practicing the Smoke and Mist Phantom.
The phantom of smoke and haze is a spiritual art.
If there really is a phantom fire spirit inside, then he can try to practice the phantom of smoke and haze next.
Grandmaster Yu slapped his storage bag, and a rosy glow appeared in his hand. As he performed some hand gestures, the five-colored light shield inside shattered with a humming sound. Then, fireworks of phantom flames came into view, and the jade bottle in Grandmaster Yu's hand trembled slightly.
All the phantom firework spirits were collected into the bottle.
Master Yu threw the bottle to Fu Changsheng:
"There might be something in there that might interest you."
talking.
Without looking back, he took Yaoyao, who looked reluctant, with him and left the underground.
Grandmaster Yu was not at all tempted by the Phantom Fire Fairy that could assist in practicing spiritual arts. Fu Changsheng looked at the other party's receding figure and murmured:
"It seems that Uncle Yu's cultivation is far more than just foundation building."
If he remembers correctly.
Even if you have refined the phantom firework spirit, once the host dies, the phantom firework spirit will slowly separate from the host over time.
In other words.
Perhaps there is an ancient cave ahead where people once practiced the Smoke and Mist Phantom.
Generally speaking.
Only those who have mastered the Purple Mansion can practice spiritual arts.
Of course, another possibility cannot be ruled out, that is, people with excellent talents, as long as their spiritual awareness is strong enough, can also try to practice the spiritual art of Smoke and Phantom.
There are no more phantom firework fairies ahead.
A collapsed cave came into view.
Fu Changsheng waved his sleeves.
The rubble was immediately put into the storage bag, and a stone road came into view. Behind the stone road there was actually a stone door. It was obvious that the stone door had been eroded by the years, and it was obvious that no one had arrived at this place for a long time.
The array patterns engraved on it have also been washed away by time.
Fu Changsheng flicked his index finger.
A magical power fell on the stone gate.
Rumble!
The stone door opens outward.
But then a cave came into view.
In the cave.
Because there were moonstones inlaid on both sides, the entire cave was as bright as day. He could not sense any breath of life in the cave.
Get into it.
But a small withered medicinal field came into view.
There are five stone chambers in the cave.
among them.
Two rooms are open.
One is the spirit beast pen, but there is no trace of any spirit beast there.
The other room was decorated with a fire-proof array, and it looked like an alchemy room or a weapon refining room. The stone doors of the other three rooms were tightly closed.
It was unknown what material these three stone chambers were made of, but they were able to block his spiritual sense:
"This is a good thing!"
Fu Changsheng planned to dismantle the three stone chambers and reinforce his secret room after returning. In this way, even if he didn't set up a formation, he wouldn't be afraid of being spied on by others, especially when he entered the system [Training Room].
Generally speaking.
In the middle is the owner's living room.
On the left and right sides, one is a quiet room, and the other is used for practicing magic.
Fu Changsheng hesitated for a moment, then cast a spell on the stone door on the right.
Rumble!
The stone door opens.
as predicted.
This is the stone chamber for practicing magic.
Fu Changsheng entered and took a closer look, and found that there were many mottled traces of cultivation on the wall:
"what?"
This step?
This stone chamber is also forged with special spiritual materials.
The footprints left on it were very similar to the illustrations in the book of Misty Phantom that he had obtained. He patted the storage bag, took out the jade slip, and compared it:
"It is indeed the Phantom of Smoke and Haze!"
The owner of this cave really practiced the magical art of Smoke and Phantom.
Fu Changsheng simply sat upright on the ground and watched for a while. Then, a figure who was practicing here day and night seemed to appear in his mind for a long time.
He stood up:
"It is indeed a spiritual art. Just by looking at the traces left by others' practice, I feel a splitting headache. If I really practice it, I am afraid..."
Vaguely.
He felt that even if he obtained the Phantom Fire Spirit, it would not be possible to practice this spiritual art in the near future:
“Perhaps it would be wiser to start practicing only after practicing the Great Evolution Art and significantly improving your spiritual awareness.”
However, he has yet to purchase the Soul-Nourishing Pill needed to practice "Dayan Jue", and there is no news about the main ingredients for refining it, otherwise he would have been able to start practicing.
After all, the spiritual consciousness was separated.
He can then sacrifice the human puppet and refine it into a clone.
The human puppet has a thunder spirit root and is at the peak of Qi training. In addition, the foundation-building pill in his hand is ready, so breaking through the foundation is not a problem at all:
"It seems that we have to sacrifice our clone before the beast tide arrives!"
Currently, he has more than 5,000 family contribution points. If he uses them in the [Training Room] and only practices "Dayan Jue", he should be able to practice to the second level and separate his spiritual consciousness.
Thinking like this.
Fu Changsheng took out the jade slip and transcribed the footprints in the stone chamber:
"Judging from this training room, the owner of this cave is most likely a Purple Mansion master."
An ordinary foundation-building cultivator would not be able to cause such strong destructive power at all, and even after so many years, there are still such clear marks on it.
