Chapter 269: Celebration, Treasures Appear, Distinguished Guests Visit
When Chief Wu saw that the Liu family sent out the Three Star Stone, he felt lucky that he had taken out the fragment of the scroll from the clan. He smiled and presented the fragment:

“I’ve always heard that Patriarch Fu has a great talent for making talismans.

However, because he did not have the method to make third-level talismans, he had not been able to break through to the third-level talisman maker.

This fragment records the method of making the upper half of a [Life-Substitution Talisman]. I hope that this fragment can be completed under the hands of Patriarch Fu, and the complete [Life-Substitution Talisman] can be made smoothly. "

This statement came out.

Not only Fu Changli, who was receiving the gift, was stunned.

Even the He family and the Liu family were shocked on the spot. That was a third-level [Life-Replacing Talisman]. Although it was a one-time talisman, it could save one's life at a critical moment.

Everyone's breathing suddenly became rapid.

They all looked at the Fu family and others.

Once Fu Changsheng develops a complete [Life-Replacing Talisman], it will undoubtedly be an additional family heritage for the Fu family.

Patriarch He secretly smacked his lips:
"The two newly promoted ninth-rank families from Anyang County are really more willing to risk their lives than the other."

The crafting method of a [Life-Substitution Talisman] can be passed down as a family heirloom.

Although it is incomplete now, if one of his descendants has a talent for making talismans in the future, it will be a profitable business to complete the talisman.

Patriarch Wu saw everyone’s shocked expressions.

I feel happy.

His relationship with the Fu family was not as bound by marriage as that of the Liu family, so naturally he would take this opportunity to please the Fu family.

One reason is to express gratitude for the foundation-building pill given to me back then.

Secondly, if the Fu family really completes the method of making the [Life-Substitution Talisman] in the future, then every time a member of the Fu family uses the [Life-Substitution Talisman], they will remember their favor.

"The Ninth-Rank Wu Family sent a volume of instructions for making a third-level [Life-Substitution Talisman]!"

Fu Yongqi sang "yes" loudly with excitement.

Fu Changli and others quickly and warmly welcomed the three families into Yuyao City.

Today's banquet.

It is placed in the inner city of Yuyao City.

Moreover, Fu Changsheng specifically instructed Yaoyao to open the no-fly ban in Yuyao City, so everyone could only walk all the way from the outer city to the inner city.

the reason is simple.

Fu Changsheng just wanted to show the power of Yuyao City to all the noble families present today.

nowadays.

The damage to the Demon-Controlling City caused by the beast tide has been repaired.

However, the clan has already trained assembly line builders and talisman masters who can construct cities, but they are now being kept idling in the clan. Not only do they have to pay them generous salaries every year, but it is also easy for these people's construction technology to stagnate.

The Fu family’s target is not just Huainan Prefecture.

in the future.

They also want to build a more powerful city.

So builders must continue to practice.

And these noble families attending the banquet were the target.

As long as we show them the function and power of the Demon-Controlling City, there will definitely be people who will be tempted to build such a city.

This was the first time that the Liu and Wu families visited the city.

Liu Qingmin kept looking around and muttering:

"Tsk tsk tsk, look at this foundation stone, this city wall, every inch of it is engraved with rune arrays, no wonder this Demon-Controlling City can resist the attack of a third-level demon king. Tsk tsk tsk, if our clan also has a city like this, our descendants will not have to fear the beast tide and the southern barbarians."

Patriarch Wu also looked envious.

Nodding:

"Yes, yes, but building this city will probably cost a lot of spirit stones."

They are a newly promoted ninth-rank family.

Not enough foundation.

Where can we get so many spirit stones to build a city?

The one who led the way was Fu Yongshang, who smiled and said:

"Patriarch Wu, some spirit stones need to be spent.

Look at the Cao family. They are frugal on weekdays, but when the beast tide comes, the thousand-year foundation of their ancestors is destroyed in one day.

If they had built a demon-protecting city like our Fu family did, such a tragedy would never have happened.

If you don’t have enough spirit stones, then you can just build a smaller city. Besides, the beast tide comes every hundred years, but it will come in the blink of an eye.”

This is what I said.

This immediately made the Wu and Liu families excited.

They all wanted to know how many spirit stones were needed to build the city.

Fu Yongshang looked sincere:
“Chief Wu, Chief Liu, you are all our own people.

If it were someone else, I would certainly not disclose such a secret.

Our Fu family had complete construction drawings and specialized builders. At that time, the Cui, Qi, and Hong families also asked us to help them build a small city.

Guess how many spiritual stones it cost?"

"How many?!"

This is true.

Chief Wu Liu couldn't help but be attracted.

Fu Yongshang quickly transmitted a message.

After listening to this, Chief Liu Wu.

They glanced at each other quickly.

If their clan grits their teeth and saves money for a few years, they can come up with the money. After all, this is a grand event that will benefit future generations.

Although they knew that the Fu family had deliberately set up a bait.

But they are willing to do it.

This money should be earned by the Fu family, and they are required to earn this spiritual stone happily.

The quick hand gets the reward, the slow hand gets the loss.

Liu Qingmin immediately held Fu Yongshang's hand enthusiastically and said earnestly:

"Yongshang, before your mistress went to Jingzhou, the person she was most worried about was an old man like me. She was afraid that one day our Liu family's nest would be taken over by someone else. Yongshang, it's not easy for your mistress to fight alone in Jingzhou, so you can't let her worry about it like this."

"look"

"How many spirit stones does it cost to help our Liu family build a small city? Just name your price. We are all family members, and I trust you."

Chief Wu, who was overtaken first, cursed in his heart.

This old man Liu Qingmin even brought up Liu Meizhen. If Liu Meizhen was in the Fu family, he would definitely not dare to raise the tiger flag.

This is the loss suffered by the Wu family because they did not have an alliance with the Fu family.

He looked back at his daughter.

I swore secretly in my heart.

No matter what, today, I must marry my daughter to one of Fu Changsheng's sons, even if she has to be his concubine.

The three families went in not long ago.

Yu Qingru also came with Ang'er.

Fu Yongfan looked at Ang'er, who looked 50% like him. For some reason, he suddenly thought of his mother who was alone in Jingzhou.

This demon-protecting city could be built.

The mother spent a lot of energy.

Not only did he personally make a trip to Jingzhou, but he also led his people to successfully resist the beast tide.

In addition, in order to allow the family to be successfully promoted to the eighth rank.

He went to Jingzhou again and brought back the ninth-rank Yu family.

but.

It was a lively time when everyone was coming to congratulate us, but my mother was staying alone in Jingzhou, trying to find a new way out for the family's future development.

Looking at Yu Qingru who was surrounded by everyone like a mistress.

Fu Yongfan quickly turned his gaze away.

Although Yu Qingru and Fu Changsheng had no official status, everyone knew about their relationship. So today, many guests came to build a relationship for Fu Changsheng's sake, and because he was the head of a ninth-rank family and a third-rank formation master.

Yu Qingru was very generous and graceful. After all, this was also a good opportunity for their Yu family to expand their network.

However, she did not cross the line and did not really regard herself as the hostess just because Liu Meizhen was not there.

Yu Qingru went in not long ago.

A rainbow light came rushing from the horizon and then disappeared.

The person who came was none other than the chieftain of the Liang clan.

Liang Zhiqing, the old foundation builder of the Liang family who came with him, looked at the grand occasion of the Fu family and said with heartfelt joy:
"Master, it was fortunate that you overcame all objections and took the initiative to show goodwill to the Fu family. You also married Qianqian into the Fu family, thus resolving the knot between the two families. Otherwise, our Liang family would have offended an eighth-rank family now."

Patriarch Liang felt a little regretful.

If he could have taken charge of the Liang family earlier, his relationship with the Fu family would surely have been further improved, and they wouldn't have been as respectful as they are now.

Patriarch Liang was just about to give a few instructions.

The spiritual consciousness moved.

But they saw three rainbow lights rushing towards them from the east, and Chief Liang's expression changed:
"People from the Cui and Qi families have arrived."

Liang Zhiqing also scanned with his spiritual sense.

It was discovered that in addition to the Cui family and the Qi family, there was also the Cao family, which was supported by the Cui family and had Cao Xuerui, who was re-ennobled as the ninth rank, as the head of the family.

Liang Zhiqing whispered:

"Everyone thought that the last eighth-rank family quota in Huainan Prefecture would fall into the hands of the Cui family, but now it has been taken by the Fu family. Patriarch, do you think the Cui family will cause trouble today?"

Patriarch Liang shook his head.

Before the Fu family was promoted to the eighth rank.

As the head of the Ninth Rank Family, the Cui Family had never provoked the Fu Family, let alone now.

and.

The original Cui family, Qi family, and Hong family have fallen apart from the original iron triangle.

The new clan leader Hong, who came to power by killing his younger cousin, was not one who was willing to submit to the Cui family. As soon as the old clan leader died, he cut off all ties with the Cui family.

There is no excitement to watch.

Liang Zhiqing suddenly lost interest:
"Master, in that case, let's go in first."

He has always disliked the hypocritical face of Patriarch Cui.

Patriarch Liang shook his head:
"No hurry, let's first see what gifts the Cui family will send."

to this end.

Before going out.

Patriarch Liang specially prepared three gifts of different levels.

Although he knew it was too late to please the Fu family now, he did not want to leave the worst impression on the Fu family.

Therefore.

The two of them just stood there waiting for the three members of the Cui family to come forward.

They landed slowly.

But I heard Fu Yongqi's loud singing voice coming from the front:
"The Cao family of the ninth rank will give you a second-rank top-grade dragon scale fruit."

Dragon scale fruit?!

When Chief Liang heard the greeting, his eyelids twitched.

I didn't expect that the Cao family, who had just recovered, would be willing to give such a valuable gift.

He immediately stuffed the third-class gift he had prepared back into the storage bag.

"The Ninth Grade Qi Family presents a thousand-year-old snow jade"

Thousand-year-old snow jade is a rare ice-attributed third-grade lower-grade spiritual material, which is most suitable for making spiritual tools. Such treasures are hard to find in the market.

Patriarch Liang gritted his teeth.

He also stuffed the second-class gift that he had prepared back into the storage bag.

"The Ninth Grade Cui Family sent a bottle of Youhan Water"

Liang Zhiqing, who was beside Patriarch Liang, heard this and his pupils shrank. He whispered:
"Master, is Patriarch Cui trying to show that he is not jealous of the Fu family or something? He even gave away treasures like Youhanshui."

Patriarch Liang did not expect that the Cui family would be so willing to give.

Youhan water is produced in extremely cold places.

Its effect can ripen spiritual plants, accelerate their growth and shorten their maturity period.

Generally speaking.

Even the poorest quality Youhan Water can quickly increase the medicinal age of spiritual plants by two years.

Patriarch Liang took out the white box with gold patterns hidden in his sleeve and handed it to Fu Yongfan with great pain:

"Congratulations to the Fu family for being promoted to the eighth rank."

Although Patriarch Liang hid well.

But Liang Zhiqing on the side was staring at the white box with gold patterns, which meant that the things in the box were definitely not ordinary goods.

Fu Yongfan took a quick glance but couldn't recognize what it was.

He handed the box to Fu Changli.

Fu Changli took a closer look and his eyes lit up.

It turned out to be a thousand-year-old Longmu ginseng.

That is a spiritual object used by foundation-building monks to break through the seventh level. It is very practical and valuable:

"Chief Liang, thank you for your expense. Please come in."

The four families entered the Yu Yao City one after another, and Fu Yongshang received them personally. With his previous experience in introducing the Yu Yao City, this time Liang Zhiqing almost placed an order on the spot. Fortunately, Patriarch Liang still remained rational and held back.

Soon after the four families entered.

The new patriarch of the Hong family also brought a pair of twin daughters:

"When we enter the inner city, when I toast Fu Yongfan, you two should be smart and come with me. Whether Fu Yongfan will like you or not depends on your luck."

The twins smiled confidently and charmingly:
"Master, don't worry. The man who can resist the attacks of our sisters' beauty has not been born yet."

They both have natural charming bodies.

The enchanting technique of cultivation.

A frown and a smile.

They can make men from wealthy families fall in love with them.

This is the gift that the Hong family wants to offer.

After the ninth-rank family and a group of Qi-refining families from Huainan Prefecture arrived.

But then I saw three rainbow lights rushing towards me from the sky.

Fu Changli saw this scene from afar, and immediately took out the Chuanxu Jade Talisman and quickly entered the spell: "Master, the Eighth-Rank Shi Family, Shangguan Family, and Nangong Family will be here soon!"

The arraignment was shortly afterwards.

A breeze blew behind the four people.

Look back.

Fu Changsheng was wearing a moon-white brocade robe embroidered with a crane. He had an ice silk belt tied around his waist, inlaid with water crystals. He wore a star-shining crown, decorated with star glass stones. He wore a purple star feather cloak and cloud boots. His face was like jade, his eyes were like stars, and he looked like a banished immortal.

Fu Changsheng had obviously dressed up for the celebration today, and he looked like a completely different person from his usual simple self.

Runzhi couldn't help but take a few more glances. Under Yaoyao's mischievous gaze, she came back to her senses, coughed lightly, and quickly looked away.

But her cheeks were slightly flushed.

The three rainbow lights in the sky disappeared.

It was Shangguan Feng, the great elder of the Shi family and the great elder of the Nangong family.

All three of them are half-step purple mansion.

Fu Changli and others were stunned for a moment.

They thought that the three eighth-grade Shi families were already giving face by sending a foundation-building elder to attend. After all, their Fu family was a newly promoted eighth-grade family, and there was still a big gap compared to these three old eighth-grade Shi families.

Never thought.

These three families actually sent their top leaders to come.

See this.

Led by Fu Changsheng, everyone stepped forward and saluted.

The Fu family, the Shangguan family and the Shi family had previously joined forces to establish the Yunlong Market, but the Shi family was too low-key, so the Fu family had little contact with them and did not have a deep understanding of them.

As for the Nangong family.

The Fu family had even less dealings with them.

This time the three of them came together.

Fu Changsheng vaguely guessed that perhaps there was something important to discuss.

After the greeting.

Great Elder Nangong waved his sleeves, and a box floated towards Fu Changsheng:
"Patriarch Fu, congratulations on your promotion to the eighth rank."

Fu Changsheng took it with both hands.

His consciousness swept away.

When he saw what was inside, his eyes lit up.

It turned out to be a piece of third-grade low-grade Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, and it still had roots.

The Heavenly Thunder Bamboo was conceived and born after being baptized by thunder.

Tianlei Bamboo is hard in texture and contains thunder-attributed spiritual power, making it an excellent material for refining thunder-type spiritual weapons.

If this Tianlei Bamboo can be successfully planted, its branches and leaves can be used to make thunder talismans. People who practice thunder-attributed skills can also practice beside the Tianlei Bamboo.

The Tianlei Bamboo is a treasure in its entirety.

"The Nangong family sent a piece of eighth-grade Heavenly Thunder Bamboo"

As Fu Yongqi repeated using the amplification technique.

Upon hearing this, the people who were originally chatting in the reception room widened their eyes in disbelief, especially the Wu and Liu families who had just been promoted to the ninth rank.

Patriarch Wu and Liu Qingmin whispered:

"Brother Liu, I heard that the Sky Thunder Bamboo is the counter-branch of the Golden Thunder Bamboo, one of the ten great sacred trees. It is said that after the Sky Thunder Bamboo is cultivated to a certain age, there is a certain chance that it can be exchanged for the Golden Thunder Bamboo."

"This Nangong family is really willing to give up."

If he remembers correctly.

According to legend, the Golden Thunder Bamboo was formed when a bolt of lightning fell into spiritual soil when the world was first created. It then combined with the spiritual bamboo seeds in the spiritual soil and took a long time to form.

Thousands of years ago.

There was once a part of it that spread to the world of cultivation.

However, it caused a huge uproar. In order to fight for this item, many Jindan Zhenjun lost their lives, and even the shadow of Yuanying Zhenjun was among them.

Liu Qingmin was also extremely shocked.

But he seemed to have thought of something and shook his head:
"It takes ten thousand years for the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo to evolve into the Golden Thunder Bamboo. That's secondary. Besides, it is said that in ancient times, the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo could evolve into the Golden Thunder Bamboo because it had the feces of rare beasts as fertilizer. In our Great Zhou today, there are no rare beasts left."

That's why the Nangong family was willing to give out the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo as a gift.

but.

Even so.

A treasure that can be used to make a third-level spiritual weapon.

It’s enough to make everyone jealous.

When everyone heard that three eighth-rank families had come together, they no longer had the heart to talk in detail. Instead, they pricked up their ears, wanting to know what gifts the Shangguan and Shi families had sent.

After a while.

Fu Yongqi's voice sounded again:

"The Eighth-Rank Shi Family sent a Second-Rank Top-Rank Purple Luotian Grass Plant."

Everyone heard this.

They looked at each other.

Because none of them seemed to have heard of the purple vanilla before, but when they heard that it was only level two, they all lost interest.

No matter how precious it is.

It's just the second level.

For the Eighth-Rank Shi Family, this gift was neither too small nor too big.

It is very similar to the Shi family's low-key approach.

Liu Qingmin saw that Chief Wu's breathing became heavy, and he was moved and said quickly:
"Brother Wu, do you know the effects of this purple herb?"

The Wu family is a family of beast tamers.

No one understands the value of violet herb better than him.

For a while.

Patriarch Wu calmed down and quickly transmitted his message:

"Brother Liu, this Purple Heavenly Herb is not just some common commodity. Although it is only of the second grade, it is of great use to spirit beasts."

"how do I say this?"

Chief Wu repeated it in a few words.

The medicinal power of Purple Angelica can nourish the spiritual sea of ​​​​the spirit beast and enhance its spiritual consciousness.

No matter it is a demon beast or a spiritual beast, its spiritual consciousness is inherently weaker than that of a cultivator. For a cultivator, any spiritual herbs that can enhance spiritual consciousness are very rare, let alone that of a demon beast.

Also.

For monsters.

Enhancing spiritual awareness will undoubtedly be of great benefit to future breakthroughs.

After listening to this, Liu Qingmin exclaimed:
"It seems that the Shi family is the one that wins the most in today's gift."

At the city gate.

Fu Changsheng was also quite surprised to receive this gift.

Now that the Green Python has reached the quasi-third level, this Purple Heavenly Herb will undoubtedly greatly increase the Green Python's chances of successfully breaking through to the third level in the future.

After thanking Elder Shi for the gift.

Seeing that Shangguan Feng was unmoved, Great Elder Nangong couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Fellow Daoist Shangguan, where is your gift? Take it out quickly and let us see it."

Elder Shi standing by also looked at Shangguan Feng with a smile.

Shangguan Feng kept it a secret and said:
"I will tell Changsheng about my gift in private later."

Elder Shi and the other elder knew that the Shangguan family and the Fu family had always been on good terms, so they did not ask any further questions.

however.

Fu Changsheng's heart beat faster when he heard this.

The last time he and Hongyu secretly got engaged, he has been busy with various chores, so he hasn't found a good time to propose marriage yet.

Could it be that the gift Uncle Feng was talking about was referring to his and Hongyu’s marriage?

Fu Changsheng suppressed the throbbing in his heart and brought the three great elders into the reception room. The original ninth-rank families and others immediately stood up to greet them.

After the guest of honor took his seat.

But the banquet was delayed.

The Liu and Wu families, who were arranged at the end of the lower right side, the head of the Wu clan whispered:

"Brother Liu, haven't the Fu family and the Zhenshi Division always been on good terms? Why didn't Palace Master Xu show up at such an important event?"

"Maybe the time is not right yet," Liu Qingmin also wondered in his heart.

About a cup of tea passed.

Everything that was supposed to come had come now.

Chief Wu muttered:

"It seems that the people from the Zhenshi Division will not come. However, the seventh-rank Luo family is not coming either. This is somewhat unreasonable. The Fu family is an eighth-rank family under their jurisdiction."

Liu Qingmin was also unsure at this time.

Fu Changsheng saw that it was almost time for the banquet. Seeing that no one had come in from outside the mountain gate, he was about to tell his clansmen to prepare for the banquet.

Indifferent.

The spiritual consciousness moved.

Then his body shook.

Rushing towards the mountain gate at an extremely fast speed.

Elder Shi, Elder Nangong and Shangguan Feng who were present were stunned for a moment, not knowing why Fu Changsheng had such a big reaction. After a while, the three of them were shocked at the same time, and immediately stood up from their seats, turning into three rainbow lights and rushing towards the mountain gate.

On the way down the mountain.

Elder Nangong quickly communicated with Shangguan Feng:
"Fellow Daoist Shangguan, is Patriarch Fu really at the peak of his foundation building cultivation?"

They hadn't noticed anything unusual just now.

Fu Changsheng set off ahead of them.

Obviously.

Fu Changsheng's spiritual awareness is stronger than those of the three of them who are half-step to Purple Mansion.

In the living room.

Seeing Fu Changsheng and the other three acting so abnormally, Chief Wu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Liu Qingmin in confusion: "Brother Liu, what is going on here?"

"Most likely someone from the Luo family is here."

and.

The person who came should be a Purple Mansion master.

Otherwise, the heads of the four eighth-rank families wouldn't be so excited:
"Come on, come on, we will also go down the mountain to greet you"

While the two were talking.

Everyone in the reception room also reacted.

They left one by one.

Go downhill quickly.

When everyone arrived at the mountain gate.

From a distance, I saw a man riding the wind and slowly coming towards me.

Ride the wind!

This can only be done by a Purple Mansion master.

It turned out that someone from the Luo family had come.

Everyone suddenly became excited. In their Huainan, only the seventh-rank Luo family possessed a Purple Mansion master, but the Luo family rarely had contact with lower-ranking families like them.

Never thought.

Today, the other party actually honored the Fu family with a visit.

"Brother Liu, it seems that the Luo family attaches great importance to the Fu family. I remember that when the Shangguan family was promoted to the eighth rank, the Luo family only sent a steward to show up for a while and then left."
