Chapter 311: Breakthroughs and surprises

The moment the green dragon upgrades.

A familiar mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind:
"Ding"

"Your pet Qing Jiao breaks through to the third stage, adding a third stage combat force to the family, and gaining 1,000 family contribution points."

Followed by.

The value on the panel changed to seven thousand six hundred and eighty.

Fu Changsheng's eyes lit up with joy.

After placing the colorful glazed beast, the soul-eating insect, and the green-faced white fox into the ring space and settling them down, the Tianlong warship had unknowingly arrived at the mountain gate of the Yunshan County fiefdom.

Fan Ge'er, who received the message, was already waiting at the mountain gate.

Seeing that Fu Changsheng and the others were safe and sound and had returned in one piece, he first breathed a sigh of relief, but then he saw the boat full of spoils and his eyelids twitched:
"Father, are you going to take the Yunou tribe as well?"

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly.

When Fan Ge'er heard this, he was moved:
"Father, this time our Fu family has made a great contribution to the imperial court. How about we organize a grand celebration for this event and your Purple Mansion Celebration?"

Some time ago.

The Shangguan family held a Zifu celebration for Shangguan Li.

All the major families are in place.

But Shangguan Li was the only one who didn't show up. This showed that he didn't take the Huainan family seriously at all. At the banquet, everyone was angry but didn't dare to speak out. Everyone said that the Shangguan family had become the largest family in Huainan and was likely to be promoted to the seventh rank.

Fu Yongfan felt very suffocated after hearing this at the banquet. He had been eager to show that their Fu family actually had a purple mansion.

"Brother Fan, there is no rush for the Purple Mansion Celebration. Let's talk about it later. Also, the fact that we attacked the Yunou and Tianshang tribes must not be leaked to anyone."

The Yinan tribe also had two of its subordinate tribes wiped out.

If he wants the other subordinate tribes to surrender, he must give an explanation. At this time, it would be best to have Shangguan Li as a scapegoat.

After listening to the explanation, Fan Ge'er bowed and said:
"Father is really thoughtful. By the way, father, Andy said he has something important to report to you and has been waiting in the Patriarch's Mansion for three days."

Fu Changsheng thought about the information provided by the intelligence, and An An came here most likely to discuss his discovery of the Ghost Abyss.

He nodded slightly and said:
"Go tell An An, I'll be there soon"

"Yes, father"

Fu Yongfan took the order and left.

Fu Changsheng called Ouyang Fei to the side hall of the meeting hall.

A spell was cast.

hum!
The magic circle in the side hall is closed.

Ouyang Fei didn't understand, but after a moment's thought, his eyes lit up:
"Changsheng, but there is news about Rong Ge'er."

Fu Changsheng shook his head:
"Uncle Fei, do you have enough Shadow Sect points to redeem a Soul-Guiding Pill?"

Since Ouyang Fei obtained the Shadow Gate Mask, he has been accepting many missions.

Fu Changsheng received a lot of commission.

Moreover, Ouyang Fei has successfully been promoted from a red killer to an orange killer in Yingmen, and is eligible to exchange for the Soul-Guiding Pill.

Ouyang Fei nodded with a smile:
"Master, I was just thinking of telling you about this. I have already submitted an application to the Shadow Clan to exchange for the Soul Guiding Pill, but it is still unknown when the elixir will be available. However, I plan to rest in seclusion from today. Once I get the Soul Guiding Pill, I will start to sprint to the Purple Palace."

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly.

One shot storage bag.

A flash of glow.

Then a pill bottle floated towards Ouyang Fei.

Ouyang Fei was stunned for a moment, and after a quick scan with his spiritual sense, he discovered that the bottle contained two Soul-Guiding Pills:
"Master, what are you doing?"

Ouyang Fei's heart beat faster.

Fu Changsheng said:
"This Soul Guiding Pill was made by Mei Zhen. I took one when I was in Jingzhou. As for the remaining two, Mei Zhen heard that you had passed the first two levels of the Purple Mansion and only needed the Soul Guiding Pill. Without saying a word, she immediately asked me to take the Soul Guiding Pill back to the fiefdom and hand it over to you."

"Master, this is absolutely not allowed."

Although Ouyang Fei was touched, he shook his head repeatedly:
"Since the mistress has already reached the half-step purple palace, she should keep this soul-guiding pill for her own use."

At that time, Mei Zhen gave up the Soul-Guiding Pill.

Fu Changsheng was also quite surprised, but after listening to Mei Zhen's explanation, he immediately felt that it made sense:
"Uncle Fei, you don't have to feel psychologically burdened. These two Soul Guiding Pills are also to ensure that you can successfully break through to the Purple Mansion. It is possible that you may not need to use them. In addition, when you break through to the Purple Mansion, under the organization of Shadow Gate, it will not be difficult for you to return the two pills to Mei Zhen in the future."

Ouyang Fei looked at the soul-guiding pill in his hand.

He gritted his teeth.

Bowing:
"In that case, I will accept it first. Please ask the Patriarch to tell the mistress that when I break through the Purple Mansion in the future, I will definitely raise double the amount of Soul Guiding Pills for her as soon as possible."

"Uncle Fei, we are a family, why should we be so polite? This is my experience of breaking through the Purple Mansion. Uncle Fei, please take it."

A wave of sleeves.

In an instant, a jade slip floated towards Ouyang Fei.

Ouyang Fei took it with both hands gratefully.

Fu Changsheng explained it in detail again. At the end, when Ouyang Fei left the side hall, a familiar mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind:
"Ding"

"You and your wife have successfully gained Ouyang Fei's unwavering loyalty and received ten family contribution points."

Followed by.

The family contribution value on the panel changed to seven thousand six hundred and ninety.

Come out of the meeting hall.

When I returned to the patriarch's residence, I saw An An sitting in the reception room talking to Fan Ge'er. The two had similar temperaments and faces, and their conversation seemed quite harmonious. When they heard footsteps, they both stood up and saluted:
"Father"

"Um"

Fu Changsheng sat down at the top.

Brother Fan tactfully found an excuse to leave.

After the reception room magic circle was closed.

An An's face turned serious and he said:
"Father, not long ago, a member of the Yu family accidentally fell into a cave in Broken Bone Cliff while hunting in Qianchang Mountain. When the family members went to rescue them, they found that the yin energy in the cave was extremely dense, and there were complicated runes engraved in the cave. After mother went to investigate, she asked me to find you and asked you to go there in person."

Qian Changshan is the fief of the Yu family.

The spiritual energy in this mountain is extremely thin, and is used by the Yu family to train first-stage purple-horned deer.

Fu Changsheng pondered for a while and said:
"Okay, I'll go with you."

Qiu Chan just needs a place with strong yin energy to break through to the third level.

The two came out of the Demon-Controlling City.

Arrived in a deserted place.

Fu Changsheng touched the snake-shaped ring on his right hand, and a green light flashed. A green dragon flashed out, and the terrifying aura of the third-stage late stage spread out instantly. An An was shocked by the pressure and retreated repeatedly. Then his eyes lit up:
"Father, Xiaoqing, has she broken through to the late third stage?"

"Um"

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly.

Upon hearing this, An An immediately bowed:
"Congratulations, father, for obtaining a third-stage late-stage spiritual pet."

With the protection of the third-late stage combat power, he will be able to walk around Huainan Prefecture with ease in the future.

The Fu family's promotion to the seventh rank is just around the corner.

As a son, the Yu family will surely be able to take advantage of this opportunity. The only drawback is that his sister Ningning is still missing.

After Qing Jiao broke through to the late third stage, his escape speed more than doubled.

Less than an hour.

Qian Changshan came into view.

The mountains are planted with poplar trees, which block out the sun.

Broken Bone Cliff is located deep in Qian Changshan Mountain. The cliff walls are steep, as if they were split by a giant axe, and reach straight into the sky.

An An pointed to the cave entrance halfway up the cliff that was covered by autumn leaves and vines:
"Father, the abandoned cave is right there"

The green dragon leaped down.

Arriving at the cave entrance, An An took out the pass token and cast a spell into it. With a humming sound, a ray of light from the token fell into the cave, ripples appeared, and a gap appeared:
"Father, mother is in there."

An An also has to return to the Yu family to preside over the Ascension Conference.

Wait until he leaves.

As soon as Fu Changsheng stepped into the cave, a strong aura of yin hit him in the face. The cave was dimly lit, with only a few faint rays of light coming in from the cave entrance, flickering in the darkness like ghost fires.

The cave floor was rugged and uneven, covered with sharp rocks and potholes of various sizes. The surface of these rocks was wet and exuded a pungent smell, as if corroded by some mysterious force. On the walls of the cave, there were intricate runes engraved, which flashed with strange light, sometimes bright, sometimes dim.

Walking slowly along the cave passage, the yin energy around me became thicker and thicker, making it difficult to breathe, as if I were in a dark abyss. From time to time, I could hear eerie whistling sounds, like the cries of wronged souls, which made me shudder.

At the end.

My eyes suddenly opened up.

Pieces of moonstone hang high on the stone wall.

What came into view was a deep black water, with a thick layer of fog covering the surface, making it impossible to tell the depth of the water. Ripples appeared from time to time in the black water, as if something was swimming underwater, which made people feel terrified.

There are many strangely shaped stalactites hanging on the top of the cave. Under the erosion of the Yin Qi, they present a strange color. Some stalactites are shaped like fangs, while others are like twisted human faces. They are looming in the dim light, giving people a strong visual impact.

Yu Qingru had her back to Fu Changsheng.

Footsteps are heard.

Then he put away the detection array in his hand and turned around:

"Husband"

There are no outsiders here.

Fu Changsheng did not restrain his aura either.

Yu Qingru sensed the aura of the Purple Palace on him and was shocked at first, then a look of joy appeared in her eyes:

"Congratulations to my husband for breaking through the Purple Palace. He can expect to achieve the Golden Elixir!"

"I have just broken through to the Purple Palace, and it will be a golden elixir soon."

Fu Changsheng smiled and shook his head.

Then he said:

"Qingru, did you find anything in this cave?"

"Husband, please wait a moment"

Yu Qingru said.

One shot storage bag.

A flash of glow.

Suddenly, scrolls were suspended in the air. When they were opened, they turned out to be ancient formations or barriers that they had encountered before.

Accompanied by Yu Qingru's spells.

Some of the scroll runes on it lit up, and they were very similar to the forbidden patterns in various places in the cave:
"My husband, look at the direction and arrangement of the array pattern in this cave. It is obviously in the style of ancient times. If I am not mistaken, this should be an ancient forbidden array. However, judging from the current situation, this array is incomplete and many key parts have been damaged. It should have been abandoned for a long time."

Fu Changsheng frowned when he heard this.

According to what he knew about the ancient forbidden array, it was usually used to seal some powerful existence or dangerous forces. But it was unknown what was sealed. Maybe a long time ago, a thrilling battle took place here, and this array was set up to prevent the spread of some kind of disaster. It was also possible:
"Qingru, besides this incomplete magic circle, have you found anything else?"

"no"

Yu Qingru shook her head.

But he remembered something and pointed at the black pool again:

"If there is anything special, it is this black pool. The Yin energy in this black pool is the most dense, and it seems to be endless. However, I have been exploring it for a long time and have not been able to find its specific source."

Since there is no danger.

For Qiu Chan, this is undoubtedly the best place to break through:

"Qingru, please set up a soul-inducing and Yin-locking formation in this black pool." "Okay."

Yu Qingru nodded in agreement without saying a word.

She also knew that Fu Changsheng's ghost servant Qiu Chan had already reached the quasi-third stage, but had never found an opportunity to break through:
"My dear, if you want to lock the Yin Qi in this cave, you need a Yin attribute spiritual weapon to suppress the formation, and it is best to use one made by Qiu Chan. This way, when Qiu Chan refines the Yin Qi in the formation, not only will it not be rejected, but it will also be more effective."

"Qingru, what do you think of this Yuelingqiubaidi?"

Fu Changsheng flipped his hand.

Yue Lingqiu held the white flute in her palm.

Yu Qingru took a quick look with her spiritual sense and nodded slightly.

Then he slapped the storage bag.

A flash of glow.

Instantly, the formation flags flew slowly towards the black pool. These formation flags flashed a faint blue light in the air, circling and dancing along a specific trajectory, gradually forming the basic structure of a soul-inducing and Yin-locking formation around the black pool.

Followed by.

However, Yu Qingru was seen setting up array plates at various key nodes.

"Buzz!"

As Yue Lingqiu's white flute fell into the black pool.

The yin energy of the entire cave seemed to be stirred in an instant.

Yu Qingru quickly made a seal:
"The white flute is used as a guide, the Yin energy gathers, the spirit is drawn in to lock the Yin, and the formation is complete!"

As Yu Qingru cast her last spell, a tight whole was formed between the formation plate, formation flags and Yue Lingqiu Baidi. Obscure formation patterns emerged around the black pool, flashing a cold light. The surrounding yin energy seemed to be summoned and rushed towards Yue Lingqiu Baidi frantically, and in a flash condensed into a grey vortex above the black pool.

hum!
Yu Qingru retracted her seal and her face turned slightly pale:

"Qingru, thank you for your hard work"

Yu Qingru shook her head. Seeing that there was no one who needed help here, she found an excuse to leave. Fu Changsheng was the only one left in the entire cave.

He slapped the storage bag.

A flash of glow.

hum!
As the flags fell one by one, he set up a magic array that he carried with him. He checked the cave again and again to see if there were any loopholes. Then he focused his thoughts on the panel in his sea of ​​consciousness:

【Start the practice room】

hum!
The panel vibrates.

A large amount of yellow light surged.

Followed by.

He only felt a flash before his eyes, and the next moment he appeared in the system's [Training Room]. When he entered, a familiar scent of concentration wafted into his nose, and his originally excited mood suddenly became calm.

Walk to the futon and sit down.

Fu Changsheng waved his sleeves.

The Emperor's Banner instantly floated in the air:
"Qiu Chan, you can rest assured and sprint to the third level."

In the system training room.

It is undoubtedly the safest and most appropriate way, without any interference.

"buzz"

In the Human Emperor Banner.

The autumn cicadas sounded gratefully.

Seeing that Qiu Chan had already started practicing, Fu Changsheng was not idle either. He slapped his storage bag, and with a flash of light, a box containing the Fire Cloud Fruit suddenly appeared in his hand.

Cultivation has no time.

Nine years passed in the blink of an eye.

After Fu Changsheng refined the last Fire Cloud Fruit in his hand, his mana doubled. Unexpectedly, there was no bottleneck at all, and he broke through to the second level of the Purple Mansion naturally:

"The medicinal power of this Fire Cloud Fruit is much better than I thought."

Fu Changsheng opened his eyes with relief.

It took another three years to consolidate his realm.

The thought fell on the Human Emperor Banner.

But see.

The autumn cicada has also reached a critical juncture of breakthrough.

But I don’t know why.

It always seems to be a little off:
"Does Qiu Chan need to be outside the system to break through?"

Qiu Chan has already taken the Soul Jade Fruit.

If I can't break through in one fell swoop, the effect of the medicine will be wasted:

"Try it"

Fu Changsheng is also courageous.

Immediately, an idea came to my mind.

hum!
next moment.

Then he came out of the system's [Training Room].

at this time.

The family contribution value on the panel instantly changed to three thousand one hundred and ten.

at the same time.

hum!
The Human Emperor Banner trembled slightly.

Qiu Chan seemed to have sensed something and she actually took the initiative to flash out from the Human Emperor Banner and hovered in the center of the black pool, with her magic seal changing.

Qiu Chan was suspended in the center of the black pool. As her seal changed, a strong yin energy suddenly surged around her. The yin energy, which was already as thick as a substance, seemed to be ignited at this moment, rushing towards Qiu Chan crazily.

"boom!"

With a low roar, the Yin Qi around Qiu Chan began to roll and surge violently, forming a cold shield. On the shield, mysterious runes appeared faintly, and these runes flashed with strange light, echoing with the array patterns of the Soul-Guiding and Yin-Locking Array, as if they were undergoing some kind of mysterious resonance.

"efficient!"

When Fu Changsheng saw this, his eyes lit up.

Staring at the cicada intently, I felt a little nervous in addition to anticipation.

Qiu Chan closed her eyes tightly, muttered something, and uttered a series of spells. Each spell contained a powerful force, causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly. As she continued to utter spells, the Yin Qi on her body became more and more dense, and the gray vortex began to rotate faster, drawing more Yin Qi into it, and then continuously transporting it into Qiu Chan's body.

"Kakaka..."

Suddenly, Qiu Chan's body made a crisp sound, as if something was breaking and reorganizing inside her. Her face became paler and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, but her eyes became more determined, and she had no intention of retreating.

"This is."

Fu Changsheng was stunned for a moment.

Just like human cultivators have three levels to break through the Purple Mansion.

It now seems that ghost cultivators also have three levels of breakthrough. Qiu Chan just broke through the first level, and now it is the second level. The running-in and reshaping of the body and magic power is also the most critical moment.

Fu Changsheng was fully aware of the danger involved and was secretly worried about Qiu Chan.

As time goes by.

All the negative energy in the cave was absorbed into Qiu Chan's body.

But Qiu Chan still needs a lot of Yin spiritual power:

"Oops!"

Fu Changsheng never expected this.

Qiu Chan needs so much Yin spiritual power to break through.

Just as he was thinking about a solution.

Suddenly.

A terrifying yin energy suddenly burst out from the bottom of the black pool. This yin energy was like a long-sleeping prehistoric beast suddenly awakening, gushing out from the depths of the black pool with endless pressure and power.

"Boom!"

The entire cave began to tremble violently due to the impact of this sudden Yin energy. Under the impact of this powerful force, the Soul-Guiding and Yin-Locking Array also shone brightly, and the array patterns flickered more violently, as if it was bearing this terrifying Yin energy with all its strength.

"Roar!"

Qiu Chan roared, she seemed to feel the powerful force of this Yin Qi, and instinctively wanted to use it for her own benefit. She quickly formed seals with both hands, and spit out spells like flowing water, trying to guide this terrifying Yin Qi into her body.

Under Qiu Chan's guidance, the gushing Yin Qi rushed towards Qiu Chan like a group of summoned ghosts. For a moment, the entire cave was shrouded in this Yin Qi, and the surrounding space seemed to be frozen, filled with a suffocating chill.

"This Yin energy is too strong. Can Qiu Chan withstand it?" Fu Changsheng worried secretly.

Under the impact of the powerful Yin Qi, Qiu Chan's body was under tremendous pressure. Her clothes rustled and her body trembled slightly under the impact of this force. But her eyes became more determined and the spells in her mouth became more rapid, as if she was having a fierce battle with this terrifying Yin Qi.

Several days passed.

"Roar!"

Qiu Chan roared, her body shook violently, and the surrounding Yin Qi instantly condensed into sharp musical notes, shooting in all directions. These notes carried a powerful force, leaving deep marks on the walls of the cave.

All the negative energy at the bottom of the black pool was refined by the autumn cicada.

at the same time.

Qiu Chan's body gradually changed. Her figure became more slender, and her temperament became more stern. Her eyes, which were originally slightly dim, now flashed with a cold light, as if they contained endless power.

"boom!"

There was another loud noise, and the yin energy on Qiu Chan's body instantly dissipated, replaced by a steady and powerful aura. This aura permeated the entire cave, making people feel an invisible pressure.

It worked!
Fu Changsheng was delighted.

After a while.

Qiu Chan slowly opened his eyes.

Fu Changsheng said:

"Qiu Chan, congratulations on successfully breaking through to the third level."

Qiu Chan did not become proud of his breakthrough. He quickly stood up, bowed slightly, and saluted Fu Changsheng:

"Thank you for your help and trust, Master. If you hadn't prepared the Soul Jade Fruit for me and provided me with such a great environment for breakthrough, I'm afraid I wouldn't know how long I would have stayed at the Quasi-Third Stage."

“Just a breakthrough”

Fu Changsheng smiled.

This way.

There is one more Purple Mansion fighter in their clan.

At this moment.

A familiar mechanical voice sounded in his mind:
"Ding"

"Your ghost servant has successfully broken through to the third level. You have added a third-level combat force to the family and obtained one thousand family contribution points."

Followed by.

The family contribution value on the panel instantly changed to four thousand one hundred and ten.

After twelve years of seclusion in the [Training Room], four years had passed outside. Fu Changsheng's thoughts fell on the panel, and he was about to decide to exchange for a wave of information:
"what?"

A quick glance.

Suddenly, I saw the water vapor in the original black water pool evaporate, and the yin energy that was originally lingering in it also disappeared.

A strange pattern comes into view.
