Chapter 212: Purple Crystal Bamboo, Incomplete Picture, Lovers Finally Get Married
Chapter 212: Purple Crystal Bamboo, Incomplete Picture, Lovers Finally Get Married
Coming out of the training room, Fu Changsheng slammed his palm on the stone door of the quiet room on the left side of the living room. The stone door opened with a rumble, and a refreshing fragrance wafted into the air.
Take a closer look.
But I saw a six-meter-tall bamboo planted in the quiet room.
On top of the bamboo, a handful of rice ears drooped like magical rice, and each round grain of rice was surrounded by tiny dots of purple light:
"This is."
If he remembered correctly.
This should be the legendary amethyst bamboo.
Amethyst Bamboo takes a thousand years to grow, and thereafter blooms and bears fruit every fifty years. The rice grains on it that look like rice ears are the legendary Amethyst Rice.
Purple crystal rice can help concentrate the soul.
in other words.
Refining purple crystal rice can greatly enhance spiritual awareness.
Fu Changsheng was excited:
"It's like there's always light at the end of the tunnel!"
He had been searching for the recipe for the Soul-Nourishing Grass Pill in vain, which was why he had not been able to practice the Dayan Jue. Now that he had this purple crystal rice, it could completely replace the Soul-Nourishing Grass Pill and even surpass it.
In other words.
Next.
He can start practicing "Da Yan Jue", and when he reaches the second level, he can start practicing the spiritual art of Smoke and Mist Illusion and refining a clone.
The amethyst rice on the amethyst bamboo is obviously ripe.
Fu Changsheng glanced at the soil at the roots of the purple crystal bamboo and found a lot of corroded purple crystal rice:
"Pity."
After all, it takes fifty years for the purple crystal rice to bloom and produce rice.
Fu Changsheng immediately cast a spell to pick the purple crystal rice, put it into a sealed box, and then used the Five Spirits Moving Technique to transplant the purple crystal bamboo to the Huangshi Medicine Garden.
Now in Huangshi Medicine Garden, in addition to the fourth-level green lotus and the Spirit Eye Tree, there is a purple gold bamboo.
Come out from the quiet room.
Fu Changsheng stood in the last unopened stone chamber.
This is the master's living room:
“I wonder if there are any treasures hidden inside.”
With a hint of expectation.
A spell hit the stone gate.
Rumble.
The stone door opens.
What came into view was a skeleton sitting cross-legged.
Besides.
There was nothing in the entire stone chamber.
Fu Changsheng bowed to the dry bones.
After all, I got the Phantom Fire Fairy and Amethyst Bamboo from the other party.
His consciousness swept away.
Fu Changsheng exclaimed:
"Strange, where is this person's storage bag?"
The cave owner had nothing on him.
The entire secret room.
He checked again and again with his spiritual sense and found nothing unexpected:
"Could it be that someone has been to this cave before?"
Otherwise how could it be cleaned so cleanly?
After confirming that there was no treasure, Fu Changsheng stood in front of the dry bones and sighed. Even if he was a great master of the Purple Mansion, he would die one day.
No descendants.
There wasn't even anyone to collect the bodies.
Fu Changsheng clasped his hands together and bowed.
He slapped the storage bag, a ray of light flashed, and ancient sandalwood emerged. As he pinched the magic spell, a coffin was forged soon. He pointed at the dry bones with his index finger, and the dry bones fell into the coffin instantly under the guidance of magic power, and the coffin lid closed.
Fu Changsheng planned to find a Feng Shui treasure land to bury the other party.
When turning around and going out.
Fu Changsheng suddenly stopped.
Suddenly turned around.
Look at the ground where the dry bones were originally sitting.
However, he saw a residual pattern of a restriction engraved on it. Fu Changsheng's mind moved, and he cast a spell into it. With a bang, the stone slab was pried open.
Subsequently.
An ancient jade slip came into view:
"This is."
After confirming again and again that it was not a trap, he stretched out his hand and a jade slip fell into his hand. He cast a spell into it, and spiritual light surged on the jade slip, and a topographic map appeared.
Take a closer look.
The mountainous terrain here seems to be somewhat similar to that of the Eastern Wilderness.
On a mountain called Donghuang Mountain deep in the East Wasteland, there is a striking red dot marking: "Could there be some treasure hidden in Donghuang Mountain?"
So many years have passed.
The appearance of the mountains in the Eastern Wasteland should have changed.
Even if it hasn't changed.
This place is also deep in the Donghuang tribe, which is not a place he can set foot in.
Put the jade slip into the storage bag. If the imperial court is really determined to retake the Eastern Wilderness in the future, perhaps there will be a chance to enter this Donghuang Mountain.
Fu Changsheng checked again.
After discovering that there was nothing else.
He immediately left the secret room.
Then he made a seal with his right hand, and his magic power surged. With a loud rumbling sound, the stones used to forge the five stone chambers collapsed and were collected into the storage bag one by one.
This stone is extremely special.
It could even block his spiritual consciousness that was comparable to that at the peak of the foundation building stage, so it was most suitable for building his retreat chamber.
heard movement.
Fu Yongyi, who was originally surveying the spiritual stone veins in the distance, also rushed over. Seeing the collapsed stone chambers, he was stunned for a moment:
"Master, is there a cave hidden here?"
"Um"
Fu Changsheng nodded, but after thinking about it, he still gave an instruction:
"It is not appropriate to disclose the matter of this cave to outsiders."
"Yes, Master"
Fu Changsheng immediately mobilized his magical powers to completely destroy the cave, and only felt relieved when there was no trace left.
More than half a month later.
Grandmaster Yu has already set up a magic circle on Liangyun Mountain.
the other side.
Fu Yongyi has also completed the exploration of the entire spiritual stone mine and said happily:
"Master, if all of this spiritual stone vein is mined, after deducting the cost of materials and labor, we should be able to make a profit of 600,000 to 700,000 spiritual stones."
This is a considerable amount of spiritual stones.
Fu Changsheng was very satisfied.
With this amount of spirit stones, there will be the starting capital for building the city.
Ouyang Fei had also rushed over from his fiefdom. After a few words of exchange, Fu Changsheng, Master Yu, and Yaoyao rode on the Green Python back to their fiefdom.
On the way back.
Fu Changsheng told Master Yu about his idea of building a city.
After listening to this, Master Yu stroked his beard and said:
"Changsheng, from what you said, you want to build a city that can continue to grow?"
"That's right, Uncle Yu. Our fiefdom borders the Eastern Wasteland. Now that the beast tide is approaching, the Eastern Wasteland and the imperial court have reached a truce agreement. But once the beast tide ends, I'm afraid the war with the Eastern Wasteland will immediately begin. The Eastern Wasteland tribe is a human race, different from monsters. At that time, we will definitely need a more solid city to resist the opponent's attack."
"It's good to plan ahead. Your idea is not bad. I'll think about it carefully when I get back."
"Then I'll have to trouble you to build the city."
Yaoyao, who was standing by, pouted unhappily when she heard this:
"Dad, I'm here too. I'm also a second-level formation master now, so I can be of great help."
Hear the words.
Fu Changsheng hasn't spoken yet.
Grandmaster Yu said solemnly:
"Yaoyao, you have to practice in seclusion for the next period of time. You can't come out until you break through the peak of Qi training."
"But, Grandpa Yu, your health is not good to begin with. How can you forge a city by yourself? I can put off my training and do it slowly."
The words were not finished.
However, he was stunned by Master Yu's sudden solemnity and muttered without continuing.
But when we arrived at the fiefdom.
After separating from Master Yu, Yaoyao deliberately pulled Fu Changsheng back:
"Dad, Grandpa Yu's injury seems to have flared up again. When Liang Yunshan was setting up the formation, I saw that he was unstable several times. Although Grandpa Yu concealed it very well, Dad, can you ask Mom to refine another furnace of Wushan Snow Lotus Pill for Grandpa Yu?"
He practiced with the Grand Master for many years.
Yaoyao obviously regarded Master Yu as her own relative from the bottom of her heart.
After hearing this, Fu Changsheng felt a little guilty.
Previously, after Master Yu took a furnace of Wushan Snow Lotus, he thought that Master Yu's injuries had recovered, but now it seems that it is only a temporary solution and it only suppresses the disease temporarily for a period of time.
However, spiritual materials like Wushan Snow Lotus are extremely rare and hard to find in the market.
Fu Changsheng could only promise:
"Yaoyao, just focus on your cultivation and strive to break through to the foundation-building stage before the beast tide arrives. Leave the rest to me and your mother."
"Uh-huh"
Yaoyao nodded obediently.
But I remembered something.
But he blinked and said:
"Dad, can't I drink the wedding wine of Big Brother and Sister Yulian before going into seclusion?"
After Yaoyao was born, she liked to stick around Yulian and had a deep affection for her. Yulian was going to get married, so naturally she didn't want to miss it.
"That depends on what date your mother chooses. If it's in the near future, then it's fine."
"Then I will go ask my mother now."
Finished.
Yaoyao couldn't wait to turn into a shadow and rush towards the patriarch's mansion.
Fu Changsheng smiled and shook his head.
Among the triplets, Fan is steady and Rong is lazy. Neither of these two brothers is clingy. Only Yaoyao is more lively.
When he returned to the Patriarch's Mansion, Yaoyao had already rushed out of the main room like a gust of wind, and left the Patriarch's Mansion in a blink of an eye. When he entered the room, he saw Meizhen was writing the guest list for Fan Ge'er's wedding banquet. Fu Changsheng was surprised and said:
"Meizhen, has the date been set?"
"Well, the fifteenth of this month has been a good day in recent years. I discussed it with Cai Xiangu and decided to set it on this day. Although there are less than ten days left, there are many people in the tribe, and some of them can help with the preparations for the wedding, so there is still enough time."
Fu Changsheng originally wanted to practice the "Dayan Jue" in seclusion.
Since Brother Fan’s wedding is just around the corner.
He could wait a little longer.
Liu Meizhen seemed to remember something, put down the roster in her hand, cast a soundproof spell, and then spoke:
"My husband, I heard a rumor that the Wanning Chamber of Commerce will hold a grand auction soon, and there will be fifty or sixty foundation-building pills to be auctioned."
“Different from the past”
"This time, the bidders are anonymous when entering the venue. However, if none of us show up in Wanning Market, and there are frequent foundation-building cultivators born in our clan, it is inevitable that other families will be suspicious, especially..."
Liu Meizhen paused.
Pointing in the direction of the imperial capital, he continued:
"This Foundation Establishment Pill auction can reasonably conceal the existence of our batch of Foundation Establishment Pills."
That's a good idea.
Fu Changsheng thought about Master Yu’s injuries.
Busy said:
"Meizhen, besides the Foundation Establishment Pill, are there any spiritual materials such as Wushan Snow Lotus for sale at the auction?"
"I haven't received any relevant information yet, but I heard that this auction will be the largest in the past hundred years, so many noble families are busy gathering spirit stones."
"So, has the specific auction date been set?"
"Yes, on the third day after Brother Fan'er's wedding."
They are adjacent in time.
Fu Changsheng nodded and said:
"Meizhen, ask Brother Fan and Big Brother to check how many spiritual stones the clan can move now. I will attend Brother Fan's wedding in person after it's over."
Thus.
Only in this way can they dispel the doubts of other noble families about the existence of the Foundation Establishment Pill in their clan.
The couple was talking.
The maid outside rang the doorbell.
Liu Meizhen then removed the formation and signaled the maid to come forward.
The maid said respectfully:
"Reporting to the Patriarch, Madam, the eldest son just sent a message saying that someone from the Liang family down the mountain has come and specifically wants to see the Patriarch."
Someone from the Liang family?!
Experience the dispute over shops in Wanning Market.
The relationship between the Liang family and the Fu family is not harmonious.
Fu Changsheng said:
"Who is coming?"
"He is the head of the Liang family's general affairs hall."
According to the rules of the Ninth Rank Aristocratic Family, the Hall Master is usually a cultivator who has reached the peak of Qi training.
Liu Meizhen said calmly:
"It seems that the Liang family is afraid of being beaten. They dare not send a foundation building elder to discuss matters with them."
Between the electric light and flint.
Fu Changsheng vaguely guessed a possibility.
He immediately said:
"Let Brother Fan bring the person to the meeting hall."
After half a cup of tea.
In the meeting hall.
Fan Ge'er personally received Liang Zhirui.
After the two exchanged greetings.
Whether it is the way Fan Ge'er speaks or the way he treats others, he always gives people a feeling of calmness and ease, like a spring breeze.
Liang Zhirui sighed in his heart:
"The Fu family is indeed full of talented people. This young man is only a few years old, but he can independently manage the affairs of his fiefdom."
In their Liang family.
The tribesmen, who are in their early twenties, are all still childish.
After all, they practiced in the mountains before the age of eighteen, and only after the age of eighteen did they start to go down the mountain to undertake various tasks of the tribe.
Waited for a while.
But I heard footsteps outside the door.
Liang Zhirui subconsciously tidied up his clothes and turned to look outside.
But I saw a young man wearing a wide robe with big sleeves, the hem of his robe fluttering with his steps.
Liang Zhirui raised his eyes and glanced at the other person's face.
The man who came had a handsome face, with golden eyebrows outlining his kingly appearance. Hidden under his sword-like eyebrows were phoenix eyes, and his gaze was like a torch, emitting a majesty that made people dare not look directly at him.
No need to ask.
This should be Fu Changsheng, the head of the Fu family.
Liang Zhirui quickly stood up and saluted:
"Meet Chief Fu"
After Fu Changsheng sat down, he saw that the other party was tense, and raised his hand:
"No need to be polite, sit down. You asked to see me, but your master has something important to tell you."
Fan Ge'er, who was standing by, was about to retreat after hearing this.
Liang Zhirui immediately responded:
"Reporting to Patriarch Fu, the head of our family is thinking of marrying a noble. When the great elder was alive, he had arranged a marriage between Qianqian and the noble butler Changren. Later, due to the busy affairs of the clan, this matter was repeatedly delayed. I wonder if the noble butler Changren is married?"
Upon hearing this, Fan Ge'er, who was standing by, stopped immediately.
The uncle has been depressed ever since his marriage with the daughter of the Liang family fell through, and he did not attend the last meeting of the family elders' council. He specially asked the people in the clan to inquire about it, and the news he got was that the uncle was busier day and night than before, dealing with various chores. Even if he was not required to do it personally, he would still take care of it.
This situation has been going on for a long time.
He wanted to open up.
However, as a junior, it is difficult to speak up for many things, and I have no experience and don’t know how to give advice, so I can only send messages to my uncle from time to time, hoping to divert his attention by handling other chores.
Now I heard that it was the Liang family that took the initiative to propose a marriage again.
His heartbeat quickened dramatically.
The Liang family had an unpleasant dispute with their own family because of the store in Wanning Market. Although they were not mortal enemies, they would never take the initiative to form an alliance.
but.
Then I thought about it.
Now that the Liang family is on the decline, it is understandable that they would take the initiative to show goodwill.
Therefore.
Fan Ge'er looked at Fu Changsheng with some nervousness.
Naturally, he hoped that his father would agree to the marriage, so that his uncle could get out of his depression, and his uncle and the girl from the Liang family could be together as a couple.
Liang Zhirui was just as nervous as Fan Ge'er:
"Patriarch Fu, we come here with great sincerity"
Fu Changsheng knocked on the table.
If he remembered correctly, the intelligence mentioned that Liang Qianqian and her eldest brother had secretly conceived a child, who was later secretly sent to other places for training by Elder Liang.
Liang Qianqian's feelings for her eldest brother are undoubtedly real.
just.
I don't know whether the new patriarch of the Liang family has inherited the wish of Elder Liang and wants to steal the secrets of the Fu family through Liang Qianqian. While he was pondering, he caught a glimpse of Fan Ge'er looking at him expectantly from the corner of his eye.
Fu Changsheng did not refuse outright:
"I will give you a reply after I have consulted the original owner of this matter."
talking.
Fu Changsheng has already served tea to see the guests off.
As soon as Liang Zhirui left.
Fu Changsheng then said:
"Brother Fan, from what you said just now, it seemed like you had something to say?"
"Father, I hope that the daughter of the Liang family can renew her old relationship with my uncle."
"Oh, please tell me the reason in detail."
Fu Changsheng saw that Fan Ge'er was rarely excited, and vaguely felt that there might be some hidden secret.
Fan Ge'er stood up and reported Fu Changren's condition during this period.
the end.
Speak softly:
"Father, out of selfishness, I hope that my uncle can get what he wants."
After listening to this, Fu Changsheng felt full of remorse.
At the beginning, he learned from intelligence that Elder Liang wanted to use the daughter of the Liang family to infiltrate the Fu family, so he instinctively rejected this marriage. After the dispute over the shop in Wanning Market, he naturally shelved the marriage.
It was the eldest brother who took the initiative to cancel the engagement.
But he didn't expect that his elder brother loved him so deeply.
But he was negligent.
That's the case.
Then there is no need to hesitate about this marriage. Of the four sons of the Fu family, only the eldest brother has not yet established his foundation. But in terms of contribution to the family, the eldest brother has always been conscientious and has taken care of the clan affairs without a single complaint. He has definitely worked hard and made great contributions, no matter what the Liang family's purpose is.
I will fulfill my eldest brother's wish.
after all.
The Liang family girl's heart is with the eldest brother:
"Brother Fan, tell your uncle to prepare to be the groom."
"Yes, father!"
Brother Fan was very happy.
He responded.
He quickly took out the jade talisman and told them that the Liang family had come to visit and that Fu Changsheng had already agreed to the marriage. Finally, he said, "Uncle, the fifteenth of this month is a good day to get married!"
The Fu family’s land, Luofeng Mountain.
Fu Changren, who was spinning like a top, looked as haggard as an old man. After hearing Fan Ge'er's message, he waved his hand, signaling all the managers to retreat and close the magic circle.
A line of hot tears immediately flowed down:
"Qianqian"
The Liang family's fiefdom.
When Madam Liang heard the good news from the clan leader, she burst into tears of joy and hurried out of her boudoir, tripping several times without even realizing it. When she arrived at Liang Qianqian's bedside, she sobbed,
"Miss, Miss, the head of the family has agreed to your marriage with the son-in-law of the Fu family. Miss, you will be a bride soon!"
Liang Qianqian's eyelids trembled as she lay on the bed with her eyes tightly closed.
I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, a happy family reunion, and may all lovers in the world finally get married!
