Chapter 256: Perfection of Flesh Refining, Strange Mask, Promotion to the Eighth Rank

"Ding"

"You saved the family from danger and received 500 family contribution points."

Followed by.

The family contribution value that had been reset to zero was instantly changed to five hundred.

A hint of joy flashed in Fu Changsheng's eyes.

The past nine years.

He spent all his time in the system's [Training Room], and the contribution points he had accumulated before had long been used up. However, with the development of the family, especially Mei Zhen's purchase of a shop in Yunlong Market in Jingzhou, which increased a lot of family contribution points, he was able to stay in the [Training Room] for twenty-seven years.

The star coffin obtained from the Cao family.

Because the ancestors of the Cao family absorbed a lot of star power, the "Nine Heavenly Star Art" was only cultivated to perfection in the Flesh Refining Realm, and it almost failed to break through the Tendon Refining Realm.

to this end.

He used the rest of his time to practice the spiritual art of [Smoke and Phantom], and after spending several years, he finally mastered it.

The body flashed several times in succession.

Fu Changsheng appeared in Qianya Mountain.

Looking at the broken treasure ship magic array light curtain, I felt relieved:
"Fortunately, we exchanged the information in time!"

at this time.

Yun Bozi also turned into a rainbow of light and rushed over from a distance, captured the fleeing Gongsun Qing and threw him to the ground:
"Master, how do we deal with the remnants of the Gongsun family?"

Gongsun Qing's face turned pale.

He glanced around.

Hastily said:
"Where is the head of my family?"

"died"

Fu Changsheng smiled coldly.

Intelligence mentioned.

It was Gongsun Qing's advice to the Gongsun clan leader that led to this murder.

This statement came out.

Gongsun Qing collapsed to the ground immediately.

Muttering in his mouth:
"The master of the family is dead. The master of the family is dead."

It's all because of him.

If he had not gone to the know-it-all to gather information, the patriarch would not have died here, thinking of the patriarch's kindness in recognizing his talent.

Gongsun Qing's heart suddenly felt like someone was grabbing it.

This time.

Not only did he cause the death of the head of the family, but even the family treasure fell into the hands of the thieves of the Fu family. How could he have the face to live on?

Gongsun Qing immediately decided to die.

Just self-destruct.

But Fu Changsheng flicked his index finger at an extremely fast speed, and several spells hit the acupuncture points on Gongsun Qing's body, and Gongsun Qing was unable to move instantly.

Fu Changsheng's eyes fell on Yu Feihong:
"Fellow Daoist Yu, I heard that you are good at refining corpses?"

Yu Feihong originally thought that all the members of the clan would surely die today, but she did not expect that Fu Changsheng was like the God of War who had descended. With his own strength, he not only easily killed the clan leader Gongsun who wielded a third-rank spiritual weapon, but also killed even the Half-Step Purple Mansion tragically at the hands of the other party.

Such terrifying combat power.

It is also extremely rare among the children of the major families in Jingzhou.

The strength of the Fu family far exceeded her imagination. It was a blessing for the Yu family to be able to rely on such a strong family.

For Fu Changsheng.

It also instinctively produces a sense of awe.

Hearing Fu Changsheng's question, he was quite flattered and took a step forward, bowing and saying: "Reporting to the master, the method of refining corpses is an inheritance I got by chance, but I have not yet refined a second-level corpse puppet."

Theory mastered.

But there is no second-level corpse to practice on.

Fu Changsheng waved his sleeves, and a spiritual force bound Gongsun Qing and threw him in front of Yu Feihong: "In this case, you can do whatever you want with this man."

Gongsun Qing heard this.

His face was full of horror.

This meant that he would be refined into a corpse puppet while still alive. It would be faster for him to die and fall into the reincarnation. Gongsun Qing rolled his eyes and fainted from fright.

Yu Feihong's face was filled with ecstasy:
"Thank you for the reward, Master. I will definitely not let you down!"

Not only is it second-order material, it's alive.

Yu Feihong is confident that he can refine Gongsun Qing into a second-level corpse puppet with intelligence.

The elders following behind Yu Feihong were overjoyed to see that Fu Changsheng not only saved them but also generously gave Gongsun Qing to Yu Feihong. In addition to gratitude, the eyes they looked at Fu Changsheng also showed a heartfelt dependence.

Just now.

Fu Changsheng's sea of ​​consciousness trembled slightly.

Then a familiar voice sounded:
"Ding"

"You have gained the support of more than 100,000 people in the Yu family and received 1,000 family contribution points."

Followed by.

The family contribution value on the panel instantly changed to fifteen hundred.

The joy in Fu Changsheng's eyes became even stronger.

He had originally thought that after Yu Feihong improved her skills, she would be able to help complete the final ritual for the Cao family ancestor's corpse one day.

after all.

The corpse of the Cao family's ancestor has almost evolved into a third-level corpse puppet.

I never thought there would be such a pleasant surprise:
"It seems that it shouldn't be difficult to gather enough contribution points to deduce the Purple Mansion Chapter of the Qing Emperor's Longevity Secret."

Because soon.

Their Fu family would be able to be promoted from the ninth rank to the eighth rank.

By the time.

You can definitely gain a very considerable contribution value:
"It's not suitable to stay here for long, let's leave quickly"

Everyone got on the treasure ship.

Fu Changsheng turned around and returned to the Broken Dragon Valley first.

at this time.

Grandmaster Yu with a white beard appeared in the valley. Behind him, formation flags and array plates rose up and turned into a ray of light and fell into the storage bag.

Fu Changsheng was a little curious:
"Uncle Yu, what kind of magic array did the old thief Gongsun set up in Broken Dragon Valley?"

"This is the Nine Profound Sealing Formation. Although it has been simplified countless times, as an ancient formation that once fought against the great war between humans and demons, its reference value is higher than its practical value."

Regarding the ancient formation.

Master Yu seemed to have a natural strong interest in it.

I don’t know if it’s because he’s interested in the battle formation or if there are other reasons.

Master Yu had just finished speaking.

The familiar mechanical voice sounded again in Fu Changsheng's sea of ​​consciousness:
"Ding"

"You have added a set of Nine Profound Sealing Arrays to the clan, and received one thousand clan contribution points."

Followed by.

The family contribution value on the panel instantly changed to two thousand five hundred.

It’s like the Grandmaster got on board.

The treasure ship drove out of Jingzhou at a very fast speed. After arriving in Jingzhou, Fu Changsheng immediately removed the invisible restriction of the treasure ship.

The Shangguan family flag was hoisted on the treasure ship.

In the state.

Almost no one dared to provoke the treasure ship of an eighth-grade aristocratic family.

By this time, Grandmaster Yu had also completed his investigation of the damaged array patterns on the cabin.

Fu Changsheng said with concern:
"Uncle Yu, can this damaged array be repaired?"

After all, it was borrowed, so it must be returned in good condition.

However, the Shangguan family's treasure ship has been leased for too long this time. Even with the pressure from Shangguan Feng and his daughter, I'm afraid the Shangguan family and others have already complained.

Master Yu stroked his beard and said:
"Well, it can be repaired, but it requires the second-grade top-grade Cangming Wood and Qianling Stone."

These two spiritual creatures.

Fu Changsheng had never seen it in the clan’s treasury.

but.

Considering that the Shadow Guard was able to set up this Nine Profound Sealing Array, he would most likely have the materials for setting up the array.

He immediately probed his spiritual sense into the shadow guard's storage bag, and after searching for a while, he really found the two spiritual materials. After handing the Cangming wood and Qianling stone to Master Yu, Fu Changsheng asked Yun Bozi and others to take good care of the treasure ship, then turned and entered the cabin.

It was previously in Jingzhou.

He didn't dare to be distracted.

Now I finally have the chance to count the storage bags of Shadow Guard and Patriarch Gongsun.

A wave of sleeves.

Two storage bags are suspended in front of you.

When his spiritual consciousness probed into one of them, the Mountain-Suppressing Seal suddenly came into view. This was the family treasure of the Gongsun family.

One shot storage bag.

A flash of glow.

The Mountain-Suppressing Seal flew out and hovered in front of him:
"Although this Mountain Seal is good, it is not as good as the Nine Suns Divine Sword."

He pondered for a while.

He planned to add the mountain-suppressing seal to the clan treasury, and then decide who would be the most suitable person to give it as a reward.

hum!
Panel shake:
"Ding"

"You have purchased a third-level spiritual weapon for your family and received 500 family contribution points."

next moment.

The family contribution value on the panel instantly changed to three thousand.

In storage bag.

Except for the Mountain Guarding Seal, which is relatively valuable, there are almost no other decent spiritual materials: "This Gongsun clan leader is too poor."

Fu Changsheng shook his head.

His eyes fell on the shadow guard's storage bag.

His consciousness swept away.

His face looked even uglier.

There were only two bottles of second-level elixirs for restoring mana and some materials for setting up formations in the storage bag, nothing else. It was obvious that this shadow guard did not bring his belongings with him when he went out on a mission:
"Pity."

The only thing left in the entire storage bag was the orange mask.

A right hand flip.

The mask fell into his palm.

After glancing at the complicated ancient runes on it, he couldn't understand them either: "What is the purpose of this mask of the Shadow Gate?"

Is it just to block the prying eyes of spiritual consciousness?
Fu Changsheng played with it for a while.

He hesitated.

He simply swung his sword, and a sword light fell on his left hand. With a dripping sound, a drop of bright red blood fell on the mask.

hum!
next moment.

The runes on the mask seemed to come alive, and swallowed up the blood in an instant: "Huh?"

Fu Changsheng gritted his teeth.

He simply sat cross-legged and refined the mask.

A few months later.

hum!
The runes on the mask surged rapidly, and then floated up out of thin air, quickly landing on its face. According to its facial features, the mask surged and reorganized into a size suitable for it, and then the original orange color turned red in the next instant.

Followed by.

A huge amount of information poured into the sea of ​​consciousness.

After a while.

Fu Changsheng finally digested the information and said, "Is this assassin from the Shadow Sect so easy to deal with?"

No experience at all.

Because he killed the Shadow Guard, he became the lowest-level first-class killer in the Shadow Clan, with the number 999.

Red represents the lowest level.

According to the information he absorbed.

After refining the mask.

Regardless of whether it is voluntary or not, you need to complete a first-level assassination mission every three years. After completing the mission, there are two benefits.

First, you can get 60% commission provided by the employer.

After the second mission is successfully completed, you will get corresponding points. The points can be exchanged for corresponding supplies in Shadow Gate, and can also be used to be promoted to a higher-level killer.

A first-level killer can only receive tasks of first-level difficulty.

Judging from the information he currently has.

To become a Shadow Gate assassin, you only need to complete a mission every three years, and there are no other rules or regulations:
"No wonder this Shadow Gate is so mysterious."

In a sense, everyone can be a killer.

Also.

This mask only needs ordinary rituals to complete the master recognition ceremony, which means that when a killer of the Shadow Gate dies, fresh blood will be replenished immediately:
"Give it a try!"

Fu Changsheng took a deep breath.

Use magic power to activate the mask.

hum!
He only felt a flash before his eyes, and the next moment he felt his soul leaving his body. Looking closely, he found that his consciousness had actually entered a large hall. On the light curtain of the hall, bounty missions for murder were constantly scrolling.

Glanced.

Among those who were wanted for bounty, the highest cultivation level was only at the peak of Qi Refining.

Obviously.

This is the first-order red mission.

It is also the lowest.

He was the only one in the entire hall.

There is a state of mind on one side of the main hall:
"This Shadow Gate is really mysterious."

Fu Changsheng's thoughts fell into the Questioning Heart Realm, and he wanted to consult relevant information, but he saw a line of text flashing in the Questioning Heart Realm:
"Not enough points to consult!"

this.
Fu Changsheng frowned.

His spiritual sense swept through the many tasks, but ultimately he decided not to start any of them as he currently had a lot of chores to deal with.

There is no time to carry out assassination missions.

A thought.

He then withdrew from this strange space.

The runes on the mask faded and then fell off his face.

Several months.

The treasure ship finally arrived in Huainan.

Fu Changsheng drove the treasure ship directly to Wanning Market:
"It's time to be promoted to the eighth-grade family!"

But it is said that the chieftain of the Gongsun clan was killed immediately.

Coming out of the Cliff of Repentance, Gongsun Wen, who was guarding the Soul Palace, was shocked and looked at the extinguished Soul Lamp of the Patriarch in disbelief:
"How is this possible!"

The head of the family has reached the peak of the foundation-building stage and carries the clan's treasure on him. Who can kill the head of the family?

Gongsun Wen was extremely shocked.

He secluded himself in the Cliff of Repentance for more than ten years.

Although the impetuous air has faded away.

But it's hard to stay calm at this moment.

He is the head of the clan. Although some members of the clan have complaints about the clan leader's behavior in recent years, no one wants the head of the family to die like this!

Gongsun Wen dodged.

After coming out of the Soul Palace, he immediately rushed to the Council Hall.

In the palace.

The second elder who was in charge of general affairs saw him rushing in without waiting for the announcement and frowned:
"Xiao Liu, I think you have spent the past ten years in the Cliff of Repentance in vain."

talking.

He waved his hand.

Still let everyone leave.

When I saw Gongsun Wen's face full of grief, my heart skipped a beat:
"What happened? Tell me!"

“Second uncle, the family master’s soul lamp is out!”

"what?!"

The second elder's body shook, and the next moment he rushed out of the meeting hall like a gust of wind. His body flashed several times and appeared in the Soul Hall. When he saw with his own eyes that the soul lamp of the patriarch was completely extinguished, he staggered and almost collapsed to the ground:
"What on earth happened to the Patriarch in Jingzhou?"

The head of the family has been away for nearly ten years.

Ten years have passed.

After the second elder became the acting clan leader and took charge of miscellaneous affairs, he slowly began to understand the difficulties faced by the former head of the family. Sitting in this position, even if you have tried your best, you will never be able to make everyone in the clan have no complaints.

and so.

He was eagerly looking forward to the return of the master of the house.

But I never thought.

The final news was this:
"Master, it's my fault. It's my fault."

When the patriarch left home, he should have brought several foundation-building elders with him.

at this time.

Gongsun Wen also stepped into the Soul Palace.

A spell was cast into the magic array in the hall, and the light curtain of the array rose up. His eyes fell on the row of soul lamps in the back:
"Second Uncle, the soul lamps of Seventeen and the other two are still on. They must know what happened to the Patriarch. Besides, the Patriarch is carrying the treasure of the clan. We have to confirm whether it is still with Seventeen and the other two."

After the second elder was sad.

My mind is racing.

A country cannot be without a king for a day, and a family cannot be without a master for a day.

The head of the family passed away.

The Zhenshi Division will definitely be aware of this, and according to court practice, they must select a new head of the family as soon as possible.

As for the cause of death of the patriarch.

This place is tens of thousands of miles away from Jingzhou.

A round trip would take several years, and there were also unknown dangers, so it was not a top priority for the family at the moment.

Gongsun Wen saw that the second elder did not make any comment.

Somewhat anxious:
"Uncle, what are you still hesitating about? At this point, we should send the elders to Jingzhou immediately to find out the cause of death of the patriarch. Secondly, we cannot let our family treasure fall into the hands of others. Uncle, apply to the Zhenshi Division for the use of the teleportation array!"

The second elder frowned.

Gongsun Wen was so anxious because he was thinking about his family.

He pointed to a seat beside him and asked Gongsun Wen to sit down, then he sighed:
"Xiao Liu, the patriarch is dead. How do you think the Mountain-Suppressing Seal could have fallen into the hands of Xiao Shiqi and the others? Nearly ten years have passed, and the patriarch has not returned yet. It must be that the three of them failed to build their foundation, so the patriarch stayed in Jingzhou and wanted to purchase the foundation-building pills by himself so that Xiao Shiqi and the others could build their foundation again."

"I'm just afraid."

"I'm afraid the owner of the family was probably killed accidentally while out treasure hunting with others."

The Second Elder's meaning was already very clear.

It is not worth spending a lot of money to find out the cause of the head of the family's death. The most important thing now is to select a new generation of head of the family and stabilize the morale of the troops.

Gongsun Wen also calmed down from his excitement.

but.

Still hesitant:
"Second uncle, according to the clan's convention, the position of the head of the family can only be inherited by the patriarch's lineage. Seventeen and the other three are from the eldest branch. Ten years have passed, and maybe they have successfully established their foundation. Regardless of whether the cause of the patriarch's death is investigated or not, we have to bring them back. Currently, the three of them have the highest cultivation level in the eldest branch."

The second elder narrowed his eyes slightly.

Coldly said:
"If we spend a lot of money to teleport to Jingzhou, but none of the three of them have established their foundation, do we, a dignified eighth-grade family, have to let a Qi-refining cultivator succeed to the position of the head of the family?"

Ten years have passed since the beast tide.

Many noble families have already recovered.

If their Gongsun family were to promote a Qi-refining master to the top at this time, wouldn't that make their Gongsun family a laughing stock?

Gongsun Wen's gaze fell on the second elder.

The second elder has been in charge of the family for ten years and is the only veteran foundation-building master surviving in the family. Obviously, he wants to disobey the ancestral order and take the position of the head of the family!

Fu Changsheng steered the treasure ship to the gate of Wanning Market.

Fu Yongshang, who had received the message in advance, came forward to meet him from afar. Fu Yongshang had successfully established his foundation nine years ago and had now entered the second level of foundation building.

After boarding the ship.

He bowed to Fu Changsheng:
"Master, thank you for your hard work. I have already greeted the people from the Zhenshi Division in advance as you instructed. Palace Master Xu of the Zhenshi Division said that when you arrive, you can take Fellow Daoist Yu directly to the Zhenshi Division's main hall."

Promoted to the eighth rank.

The Zhenshi Division naturally needs to verify the situation first.

Once everything is true, we must report back to the court.

Currently.

They first want to promote the Yu family to a ninth-rank family.

Yun Bozi was standing half a step behind Fu Changsheng at this time. Hearing that he would soon be promoted to the ninth rank, he couldn't help but feel excited.

Been running around for half my life.

Now I finally have a place to stay.

The most important thing is.

Their lineage did not decline.

The elders of the Yu family standing on the deck also had tears in their eyes. They had endured hardship for nearly a hundred years.

Finally, the clouds cleared and the moon appeared.

"Yu Daoyou, let's go!"

Fu Changsheng took the lead and entered the market town from the side door. He reached the Zhenshi Palace without any hindrance. To his surprise, Palace Master Xu was standing outside the palace door to greet him, which showed that he valued Fu Changsheng very much.

Yun Bozi, who was standing by, was even more shocked.

Someone from Zhenshisi.

Even if he is just a guardian, everyone outside will respect him, not to mention that Palace Master Xu is the lord of a palace.

Even the guards beside him looked quite surprised.

Because usually when the head of an eighth-rank family comes to ask to see the palace master, he has to wait in the reception room for half a cup of tea.

This can be seen.

How much Lord Xu values ​​Fu Changsheng:
"I have met the Lord of the Palace."

Fu Changsheng was also a little flattered. He took a few quick steps forward and bowed to Palace Master Xu. Palace Master Xu's consciousness fell on Fu Changsheng and his eyebrows jumped.

Although he had received the message.

Fu Changsheng has broken through to the peak of foundation building.

But after seeing it with his own eyes, he was still a little shocked. With Fu Changsheng's aptitude, if nothing unexpected happened along the way, becoming a Purple Mansion master would only take ten years. Once he broke through the Purple Mansion.

Then the Fu family would not have to be trapped in this Eastern Wilderness.

From now on, the world is yours.

After the host and guest sat down.

Palace Master Xu waved to the Deputy Palace Master, who bowed and retreated. Palace Master Xu turned to Fu Changsheng and smiled:
"Patriarch Fu, we have already surveyed the spiritual vein of Yunxiao Mountain, and Patriarch Yu's merit points have also reached the standard. Since one of our clan members has reached the foundation-building stage, we are left with the standard of 100,000 clan members. According to convention, we still have to go through the process."

Obviously.

This means sending the deputy hall master out to count the number of people.

Fu Changsheng smiled and nodded:
"this is necessary."

Yun Bozi on the side was quite nervous, and his hand couldn't help shaking as he picked up the teacup.

Fortunately.

Soon the deputy hall master returned to the main hall and nodded slightly to Hall Master Xu, who smiled and said:
"Chief Yu, please follow me."

The Fu family had already asked the Yu family to file a record before.

It became a quasi-ninth-rank family.

Now that the procedures are complete, the previous approval of the imperial court can be omitted, and he can be directly promoted to the ninth rank.

Fu Changsheng sitting in the reception room.

Suddenly.

The sea of ​​consciousness panel trembled slightly:
"Ding"

"A ninth-rank family was born in your fiefdom, and you have obtained three thousand family contribution points."

Followed by.

The family contribution value on the panel suddenly climbed from three thousand to six thousand.

Fu Changsheng's thoughts fell on his dantian.

But then the aristocratic family's jade seal made a humming sound and vibrated violently.

Followed by.

The color of the luck above completely changed from red to orange.

Orange represents the eighth-grade family.

only.

The fortune at this time is uncertain.

Obviously.

This still needs further official canonization from the imperial court to stabilize:
"what?"

Different from the past.

When the Yu family was promoted to the ninth rank before, he was able to bless the luck of the clan members, but this time the promotion to the eighth rank was different.

That destiny lingers in the air.

Looming is about to fall upon him:
"This"

Fu Changsheng's eyes lit up.

If this is true, then he can use this luck when he connects the two dantians!

This is an unexpected surprise.
