Chapter 448: Dan Rong Wanxiang, unexpected harvest, changing fate against the will of heaven (8.2k)
Tianyin tribe.
In the dim stone hall, the candlelight flickered, reflecting the mottled bloodstains on the wall. Tianyin Zhenren sat cross-legged in the center of the altar, with a sinister aura entwined around him and a terrifyingly gloomy face.
"Report——!"
A black-robed monk stumbled in, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, the Heavenly Wolf Tribe... has been destroyed!"
"what?!"
Zhenren Tianyin suddenly opened his eyes, bloodshot eyes surged, murderous energy suddenly surged around his body, and the temperature of the entire hall dropped to freezing point in an instant!
"Who did it?" His voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of the underworld.
"It's... it's the Fu family!" The black-robed monk's forehead was covered with cold sweat. "They raided the Tianlang tribe, the chieftain died in the battle, and all sixteen Purple Mansions became Fu Changsheng's puppets. Tianlang Mountain has now been taken over by the Fu family."
"Fu family?!" Tianyin Zhenren clenched his five fingers suddenly, and the stone bricks on the altar were instantly crushed into powder!
Anger burning in the chest!
Although the Tianlang Tribe was only a vassal, it paid tribute to the Tianyin Tribe with large amounts of blood food and spiritual materials every year. Now that it has been destroyed, it is equivalent to cutting off one of its arms!
If it were in the past, he would have taken action personally and massacred the entire Fu family!
But now...
"boom!"
A loud noise was heard in the distance, and the entire Yinyun Valley was shaking!
"Here they come again!" The black-robed monk turned pale, "It's the White Tiger High Priest! He's attacking the mountain protection formation again!"
Tianyin Zhenren's face turned pale, his eyes filled with anger and frustration.
Ever since the damn photo pod was exposed, the White Tiger High Priest has gone completely crazy! For decades, he has led the remaining White Tiger tribe members to continuously attack and kill the monks of the Tianyin tribe, and even attacked the outskirts of Yinyun Valley several times, forcing the Tianyin tribe to close the mountain and defend themselves!
“Damn it! Damn it!” Tianyin Zhenren roared.
When had he ever felt so aggrieved? A dignified Jindan Zhenren was forced by a crazy high priest to not dare to go out!
"Master, should we take revenge on the Fu family?" the black-robed monk asked cautiously.
"Revenge?" Tian Yin Zhenren sneered, "What revenge?"
Today, most of the elite members of the Tianyin tribe have been killed, and the mountain protection formation is attacked day and night by the White Tiger High Priest. They can barely protect themselves, so how can they have the energy to deal with the Fu family?
"Pass the order down. All clan members are not allowed to go out. Defend Yinyun Valley with all your strength!" He gritted his teeth and said, "As for the Fu family..."
A cold light flashed in his eyes.
"After I have dealt with the White Tiger High Priest, I will make them pay for their blood debt with blood!"
——Feeling aggrieved and angry, but helpless!
Taoist Tianyin slowly closed his eyes, murderous energy surging around him, but it could not hide his inner anxiety.
Once upon a time, the Tianyin tribe dominated the Eastern Wilderness. Who dared to challenge it?
But now, even a small Fu family dares to destroy his vassal!
"Fu Changsheng..." He whispered the name with murderous intent, "You'd better pray that I don't have time to spare!"
——Otherwise, I will make sure that not a single person in your Fu family will be left alive!
However, just as he was getting angry, another loud roar came from outside the valley!
"Rumble--"
The mountain protection formation was shaking violently, as if it was about to collapse in the next moment!
"Here it comes again!" the black-robed monk shouted in horror.
Zhenren Tianyin's face turned pale. He stood up suddenly, waved his sleeves, and turned into a beam of black light, rushing out of the valley!
——Now he doesn’t even have the qualifications to be angry!
Because the revenge of the White Tiger High Priest is far from over!
Five elements space.
The moment Fu Changsheng's fingertips touched the rune seed, the entire secret room suddenly filled with the strange phenomenon of "the fragrance of the elixir condensing into clouds" recorded in the "Hundred Herbs Classic". The spiritual energy intertwined and swirled like a mad dragon, condensing into the shadow of an ancient bronze elixir furnace in the void. The elixir furnace had three legs and two ears, and the furnace body was engraved with dark gold runes that originated from the seed:
"Is this the Dharma Image of the Alchemy Dao?!"
Before he could recover from the shock, an obscure and ancient message had already bombarded his mind:
[Dharma Seed: Dan Melts All Things]
[Grade: Peak of the Fourth Grade (Growable)]
[Inheritance conditions: The purity of the fire spirit root must be above 70%, and the spiritual consciousness must reach the middle stage of the Purple Mansion]
[Feature Description: All-Medicine Synesthesia: Ability to identify hidden properties of medicinal materials; Eternal Pill Heart: Inherits the artistic conception of the ancient pill saint "one furnace to refine the stars", and pill patterns will appear on the finished pill]
[Note: This method can only be granted to your direct bloodline descendants]
"It's actually the alchemy method!" Fu Changsheng's pupils suddenly shrank.
Compared to the weapon refining method obtained by Jingger.
The description of this seed actually contains the word "can grow".
Among his current descendants, the one who possesses a talent for alchemy is An An.
However, the last time when An An's spiritual roots were upgraded, he unfortunately failed to generate a Dan Dao spiritual body. With this magic seed, this regret can be made up.
The last time they entered the Kunlun Secret Realm, it was thanks to An An who guarded Huizhou Prefecture.
He made a seal with both hands, and five rays of spiritual light suddenly emerged from the five-element space, transforming into a "soul-sealing and vein-locking array" that imprisoned the magic seed in a black ice jade box. The box was engraved with soul-soothing runes, and he used his own blood essence as a guide to set up three layers of restrictions to ensure that nothing could go wrong.
After sealing the magic seed, Fu Changsheng took out a storage bag as black as ink.
It was obtained by beheading the chief of the Sirius tribe.
This bag is made from the stomach sac of the "Sky Devouring Wolf", a super-sized monster. There is a ferocious wolf head embroidered on the mouth of the bag, which emits a faint murderous aura.
"This beast has been entrenched in the Eastern Wasteland for many years, so he must be very wealthy."
His spiritual sense was like a knife, forcibly breaking the restriction of the storage bag.
"boom!"
A stream of blood suddenly rushed out of the bag and condensed into an illusory shadow of a silver wolf in the quiet room, howling towards the sky!
"Guarded by a residual soul? I underestimated you." Fu Changsheng sneered, and his purple palace consciousness transformed into an invisible giant hand, crushing the wolf's shadow directly.
The storage bag was completely opened, and the items inside emerged one by one.
The first thing that caught the eye was three pieces of dark blue ore with silver star patterns on the surface. They were the size of a fist, but weighed a thousand pounds. As soon as they were taken out, the surrounding space was slightly distorted.
"This is... Meteorite Iron?!"
His eyes lit up, and as he clenched his five fingers, ripples of space suddenly appeared on the surface of the ore.
"It really is meteorite iron!"
Fu Changsheng showed joy on his face.
This item is exactly what is needed to construct the core foundation of the teleportation array.
The Fu family has been preparing for the teleportation array for a long time, but they lack materials that can carry the force of space. Ordinary black iron cannot withstand the tearing of long-distance transmission, while meteorite iron is formed by falling meteorites from outer space, and its toughness is enough to stabilize the space nodes.
"With this item, the construction of the family's interstate teleportation array can finally be put on the agenda!"
He was excited and immediately wrapped the meteorite iron with his spiritual sense to carefully examine its quality.
"It's of high purity, and can at least support long-distance teleportation between two states. If it is reinforced with space runes, it can even be used as a permanent array base!"
With this thing.
As long as they can find the Void Stone and Fantasy Sand, it will be much easier for the clan to travel between the various states, and their Fu family will also be able to seek development outward.
Fu Changsheng suppressed his excitement and continued to search for the remaining treasures in the storage bag.
An ancient book made of animal skin caught his attention.
A move of the hand.
The ancient book fell into the palm of my hand.
However, on the cover of the ancient book, a silver wolf howling towards the sky was outlined with blood, and on the spine of the book were three large, simple characters - "Heavenly Wolf Combat Body"!
I opened the first page and saw the following words:
"Induce the moonlight to temper the body, transform the wolf's evil spirit into strength, the Heavenly Wolf howls at the moon, and the body becomes immortal. After the practice is completed, the body can be comparable to a fifth-level monster beast, and can tear apart a fifth-level spiritual treasure with bare hands!!"
"It's actually a body-refining technique!"
Moreover, it is a physical training method that can directly reach the Nascent Soul stage!
He raised his eyebrows and quickly browsed the contents.
This technique uses the essence and blood of monsters to temper the body, and is divided into five levels. Every time a level is broken through, the strength of the body will increase dramatically. If one can cultivate to the peak, he can even kill enemies of higher levels!
but.
Ancient books only record the first four levels, which means that one can only cultivate to the Golden Core stage.
Their clan already has the "Nine Heavens Star Art" for body training, but the training conditions are too harsh. This "Heavenly Wolf Battle Body" is more common and can be practiced by ordinary clan members. If this method can be integrated into the family's Sutra Pavilion, it can greatly increase the strength of the clan members of the body training lineage!
Fu Changsheng nodded with satisfaction, put away the "Heavenly Wolf Battle Body", and prepared to go back and let the system deduce it. If there is no absence, he will hand it over to the elder in charge of physical training. Although the other spiritual materials in the storage bag are rare, they are not very scarce. Just as he was about to close the storage bag, his spiritual sense suddenly swept to a yellowed animal skin scroll in the corner.
"Ok?"
He took it out and slowly unfolded it, and found that it was actually a torn map with several ancient runes marked on it. One of them clearly read -
"Jiuyi Mountain·Danxu Entrance"
"Jiuyi Mountain?!"
Fu Changsheng's heart was shocked.
Jiuyi Mountain is an ancient holy land of alchemy. The legendary alchemy saint "Chi Xiaozi"'s dojo has long been lost in the long river of history. If this picture is true, perhaps we can use it to find the lost alchemy heritage!
"Could it be that... Chieftain Tianlang has explored Mount Jiuyi?"
His eyes were deep and his fingertips gently stroked the edge of the map. He found that there was still a faint smell of blood on it, as if it had experienced a fierce battle.
But the other place names are not marked on the map.
He took out the map of the Great Zhou and compared it, but he couldn't find any similar places:
"It seems that we can only wait and see if we can find other clues in the future."
at the same time.
A familiar mechanical voice sounded in his mind:
"Ding"
"You bought a copy of the Heavenly Wolf Combat Body Technique for your family, and received 3,000 family contribution points."
Followed by.
The family contribution value on the panel changed to nineteen thousand four hundred.
Slaughtering the Heavenly Wolf Tribe, his contribution value continued to rise, and now it was almost breaking through 20,000. Fu Changsheng resisted the urge to spend more time in seclusion:
"We have to go back to Huizhou Prefecture first."
A thought.
After leaving the Five Elements Space and coming out of the secret room, he went to the Tianlang Mountain Conference Hall.
In the palace.
Ouyang Fei brought some of his tribesmen to guard Yinan Mountain.
The remaining five people are Fairy Tianyin, Fu Yongqi, Fu Changli, Fu Yongshou and Gan Muwan.
After Fu Changsheng sat down, he said in a deep voice:
"Tianlang Mountain is the new foundation of our Fu family. We cannot afford to lose it."
His eyes fell on the sixteen purple mansion puppets wearing black armor arranged on both sides, and he said to Gan Muwan:
"Mu Wan, you are in charge of these puppets. Form a group of four to guard the four directions in turn. If any enemy attacks, kill them all!"
"Yes, father"
The Purple Mansion Puppet is controlled by a poisonous insect.
Gan Muwan is an expert at making poisonous insects.
For her, the sixteen Purple Mansion elders who are most suitable to control the Sirius Tribe.
Fu Changsheng waved his sleeves, and with a buzzing sound, six third-level soul-eating insects flew towards Fu Changli. "Fourth sister, the contract with these six guardian soul-eating insects of the Tianlang tribe has been cancelled. From now on, you will control them and guard Tianlang Mountain together with your niece-in-law Mu Wan."
"Yes, Master"
A hint of excitement flashed in Fu Changli's eyes.
After all, this is equivalent to the combat power of six Purple Mansions. She didn't expect the head of the family to be so generous and give it to her all at once.
Fu Changsheng continued:
"Yongqi, Shou'er, the internal and external defense of Tianlang Mountain will be coordinated by the two of you."
Fu Changsheng raised his hand and a topographic map of Tianlang Mountain appeared in the void. The outer mountains, canyons, and dense forests were all marked with spiritual light.
"Yongqi, you lead the disciples of the Battle Hall to set up the 'Eight Desolations Soul Locking Formation' to block the outer perimeter of Tianlang Mountain for a hundred miles." He flicked his sleeves and a bronze formation plate fell into Fu Yongqi's hands. "This formation plate can sense the enemy's whereabouts. If there is any unusual movement, kill first and report later!"
Fu Yongqi took the formation plate with both hands, his eyes full of fighting spirit: "Master, rest assured, we will make sure that no outsiders can get in even a single step!"
Fu Changsheng looked at Fu Yongshou again, and pointed his finger at the spiritual vein node at the core of the map: "Shou Ge'er, you assist Fairy Tianyin and guard the three important places of the mountain gate, the spiritual field, and the Sutra Library."
After a pause, he threw out a red jade talisman: "This talisman can mobilize the 'Earth Fire Burning Sky Formation'. If you encounter a strong enemy, you can directly activate the fire of the earth veins!"
Fu Changsheng suddenly put his fingers together to form a sword and tapped the center of their eyebrows.
"Buzz——"
Two golden runes sank into their purple palaces and turned into imprints of spiritual consciousness.
"This is the 'Seal of Unity'. You two can share the battle situation instantly. If there is an attack from the outside, you can rush to the inside to help. If there is a change inside, you can surround the outside. You must make sure that Tianlang Mountain is a solid team!"
Fairy Tianyin smiled and said, "The master of the family has made every possible effort. Now not even a fly can fly in."
If it is an ordinary stronghold.
Fu Changsheng wouldn't bother that much.
This place borders the Jindan tribe of Tianyin tribe, so he is not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of one. In addition, he left Gan Muwan in Tianlang Mountain because he was impressed by her ability to govern the fiefdom. She advocated the construction of the Great Wall in Huainan Prefecture, which played a key role in the battle against the beast tide.
As for Shou Ge'er.
He wanted to give the other party more experience.
Since he has already decided to enthrone a crown prince, he will give every son a chance.
After Fu Changsheng finished his instructions, he quietly left Tianlang Mountain on the Green Dragon.
The night was deep, the green dragon restrained its breath and quietly landed in the forbidden area behind the mountain of Yu’s house.
Fu Changsheng, dressed in a black robe, stepped into a quiet courtyard silently. The courtyard was surrounded by spiritual plants, and in the center was an ancient alchemy furnace that was emitting a faint medicinal fragrance. The fire in the furnace was still burning, and it was obvious that the owner was still refining the elixir.
"The child has seen his father"
A respectful voice came from the shadows.
Fu Changsheng looked up and saw a young man in a black robe walking out from behind the column. He had handsome eyebrows, deep eyes, and a faint aura of Danhuo lingering around him.
——It is the current head of the Yu family.
"An An." Fu Changsheng spoke lightly, with a rare gentleness in his tone.
An An still looked a little nervous. He had already received a message from his father and knew that something important must happen tonight.
"Let's talk in the inner room."
Fu Changsheng walked straight into the inner room without saying much. Yu An followed closely behind him and waved his hand to set up a soundproofing barrier.
In the inner room, the candlelight flickered.
Fu Changsheng waved his sleeves, and the black ice jade box emerged, surrounded by cold air and flashing runes.
"This is..." Yu An's eyes narrowed, sensing the ancient alchemy breath coming from the box. "The elixir melts everything, a fourth-order peak magic seed that can grow." Fu Changsheng said in a deep voice, "You need a fire spirit root with a purity of more than 70%, and a spiritual consciousness that reaches the middle stage of the Purple Mansion to inherit it. Now your father will pass it on to you."
An An's breathing stagnated slightly, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.
Although he is the head of an eighth-rank family, the Yu family's financial resources are limited after all, and he has never seen such a high-level alchemy inheritance!
"Father, this thing is so precious. You have many children. Please pass it on to me. This."
Although An An was envious, he knew his limits. After all, he was just an illegitimate child. Although his mother had married into the Fu family, he was now the head of the Yu family. This seed was so precious that giving it to him would undoubtedly be unfair to his father's other children.
after all.
They are the ones who are working diligently to contribute to the rise of the Fu family.
Fu Changsheng looked deep in his eyes and said slowly:
“Although you haven’t yet generated a Dan Dao spirit body, the purity of your fire spirit root has reached 78%, and your spiritual consciousness also meets the requirements. In your hands, it is more valuable than in the hands of any other person in the Fu family.”
After a pause, he said again:
"Besides, you are now the patriarch of the Yu family. If you can use this method to break through the bottleneck of the alchemy path, the Yu family will be promoted to a seventh-grade family in the future. This item is my personal gain, so you don't have to feel any psychological burden. Besides, I haven't helped you much over the years, so this method can be regarded as compensation."
Yu An was silent for a moment, with a gleam in his eyes.
He knew that his father's move was not only to cultivate him, but also to make a plan - if the Fu family and the Yu family could be deeply bound together, their influence in Jingzhou would be more stable in the future.
"Thank you father!"
An An didn't hesitate any more. This item was so precious, so naturally he wanted to own it.
Fu Changsheng moved his finger and the black ice jade box opened. In an instant, the whole inner room was filled with brilliant golden light. A dark golden seed was suspended in the air, with ancient elixir patterns flowing on its surface. The shadow of a bronze elixir furnace could be vaguely seen floating inside.
"Recognize the master with a drop of blood, and refine it immediately." Fu Changsheng said in a deep voice.
An An took a deep breath, bit his fingertips, and a drop of bright red blood dripped onto the magic seed.
"boom--!"
The Dharma seed suddenly burst out with a blazing light, turning into a golden torrent that directly sank into An An's brows!
In an instant, the dark golden seeds suddenly bloomed with brilliant light, illuminating the entire inner room like daylight. The fragrance of elixir filled the air, and the shadow of an ancient bronze elixir furnace appeared in the void. The furnace was engraved with obscure elixir runes, as if carrying the supreme mystery of the ancient elixir.
"Dan melts everything, rise!"
Fu Changsheng let out a low shout, clasped his hands together, and the spiritual energy in his body surged, transforming into golden chains that wrapped around the magic seed to help stabilize it.
An An felt a vast alchemy truth pouring into his sea of consciousness, and his brows were burning, as if there was a flame burning. He groaned, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, but his eyes became more determined.
"Concentrate your mind and calm your spirit, and guide the Dharma seed into your body!" Fu Changsheng reminded in a deep voice.
An An sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, forming seals with his hands. The fire spirit root in his body was running wildly, and the spiritual energy around his body surged like a tide, resonating with the power of the Dharma seed.
"boom--!"
The void trembled, and the shadow of the bronze alchemy furnace suddenly solidified. The lid of the furnace was opened, and countless runes fell like a galaxy, covering An An. His aura rose steadily, and a dark golden alchemy mark gradually appeared between his eyebrows. The spiritual power around him also underwent a qualitative change at this moment, and a hint of the aura of the true fire of the alchemy was faintly revealed.
After a long time, the strange phenomenon gradually dissipated and the inner room returned to peace.
An An slowly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be golden flames dancing in his eyes. The aura around him was several times stronger than before. The fragrance of elixir lingered in the air with every move he made, as if he had turned into a walking elixir furnace.
"How do you feel?" Fu Changsheng asked calmly, standing with his hands behind his back.
An An felt the surging true meaning of the alchemy in his body, and said in a deep voice: "My spiritual consciousness has skyrocketed by 30%, the purity of my fire spirit root has increased to 80%, and my understanding of the alchemy has made great progress... Now, I am confident that I can refine a third-level high-quality elixir!"
Fu Changsheng nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
"This seed of magic not only improves your attainments in alchemy, but also grants you the ability to 'melt all things into the elixir' - in the future, when you make elixirs, you can use the power of this seed of magic to melt the essence of all kinds of medicines, greatly improving the success rate and quality of the elixir."
An An was shocked. The preciousness of this Dharma seed was far beyond his imagination!
He took a deep breath and clasped his fists solemnly: "Father's kindness in cultivating me will be remembered in my heart!"
Fu Changsheng said calmly: "Now that you are in charge of the family, you should understand that strength is the foundation of everything. This method will help you break through the bottleneck, but how far you can go in the future still depends on you."
An An looked determined and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, father. I will live up to your expectations!"
Fu Changsheng gave a few instructions and left the Yu family. After returning to his fiefdom in Anyang County, he was immediately teleported to Huizhou Prefecture. When the Shanhe Town Clan Cauldron evolved into the Dragon Pool, he obtained nine Xuanhuang Lingdan in the pool. Originally, he wanted to wait for Mei Zhen to be teleported to Yunshan County before asking her in detail, but Mei Zhen was unable to get away.
Since there are no other miscellaneous affairs in Jingzhou and Donghuang.
He simply teleported over.
Also.
According to intelligence mentioned.
Among Yu Qingru's later offspring, one of them failed to detect spiritual roots. The acquired spiritual plant Nine Heavens Mysterious Vine that was previously taken back from Qiang Ge'er could have been put to use. Otherwise, it would have been a pity to have been left idle.
When Fu Changsheng was teleported to Huizhou Prefecture, he was told that Mei Zhen had gone to Jingzhou, so he went to Anyang Town first. After Yu Qingru's son Fu Yongren was not detected to have spiritual roots, he was arranged to live in Anyang Town, a secular mortal town, because of the difference between immortals and mortals.
For Qing Jiao.
A distance of a hundred miles would take less than half a cup of tea.
Fu Changsheng jumped off the back of the green dragon and looked around the town. The town was not big, with a winding bluestone road and low tiled houses on both sides. Occasionally, the shouts of vendors could be heard, and the town was full of the atmosphere of fireworks.
He restrained his breath and walked slowly like an ordinary rich man, but his spiritual sense had already covered the entire Anyang Town and soon locked onto the target -
Fu Yongren.
……
Outside the town, Qingfeng Mountain
The sun sets and the mountain wind blows fiercely.
A boy of about seven or eight years old was climbing the steep cliff with gritted teeth. He was thin, his clothes were torn by thorns, and his palms were rubbed with blood, but he still held on to the cracks in the rock and moved up step by step.
"A little higher... a little higher..."
The boy murmured in a low voice, with a stubborn gleam in his eyes.
——He is Fu Yongren, the youngest son of Fu Changsheng and Yu Qingru. Because his spiritual roots could not be detected, he was placed here by the family.
"Why...why can't I do it?"
He clenched his teeth and dug his nails into the rock wall, his knuckles turning white from the effort.
Ever since he was old enough to understand, he knew that he was different from his brothers and sisters who could fly and hide. They could practice immortal arts, ride swords and ride the wind, but he could only be trapped in this mundane town, being an ordinary mortal.
He is not willing!
"Ancient books say... there is a magical medicine in the deep mountains, and mortals who eat it can be reborn..."
Fu Yongren panted and finally climbed to the top of the cliff. He sat down on the ground, looking at the rolling mountains in the distance, with fatigue and hope in his eyes.
"One day...I will find my own way!"
The howling mountain wind ruffled his hair, but it could not blow away the obsession in his eyes.
……
Fu Changsheng stood quietly at the foot of the mountain, his spiritual sense taking in every move of Fu Yongren.
A hint of joy flashed across his face.
The child's stubbornness was beyond his expectations.
Unlike Qiang Ge'er who complained about the world when he learned that he could not cultivate immortality, he took the initiative to find a way out for himself at a young age:
"It's a bit like my temperament when I was young..."
Fu Changsheng pondered for a moment, then took out a piece of vine with a faint glow - it was the acquired spiritual plant, the Nine Heavens Ghost Vine.
This thing can reshape the bones. Although it is not as good as the innate spiritual roots, it is enough for mortals to embark on the path of cultivation.
Fu Changsheng waved his sleeves and his figure disappeared like a phantom. The next moment, he appeared on the top of the mountain, standing silently behind Fu Yongren.
The young man seemed to realize something and turned back suddenly.
The mountain wind suddenly stopped, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, a tall figure stood with his hands behind his back, his black robe fluttering and his eyes as deep as the ocean.
Fu Yongren's pupils suddenly contracted and his heart almost stopped beating.
“Father…Father?!”
His voice trembled, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
The face of his father in front of him was exactly the same as in the painting, but it was sharper and more real than the painting. When he was born, his father was in seclusion. When his father came out of seclusion, he was sent to Anyang Town, so he had never seen his father. However, he looked at the portrait every night and secretly collected all the rumors about his father.
Some say he was decisive in killing and annihilated a hostile family with one sword;
Some people say that he is an expert in talismans, and the talismans he refines can save people ten years of meditation time;
Some people also said that he once rode a green dragon, traveled through the sky, and caused mountains to collapse and the earth to crack when he raised his hand...
Every rumor made Fu Yongren's heart surge.
Now the person in the painting.
He was standing right in front of him alive.
How could he not be excited.
He shouted "father" and his eyes instantly turned red.
He suddenly knelt down, knocking his forehead heavily on the rock, and said tremblingly:
"I am Fu Yongren... I am here to meet my father!"
His voice was hoarse, carrying with it years of suppressed grievances, unwillingness, and almost devout worship.
The mountaintop is silent.
Fu Changsheng looked at this son whom he had never met before with a deep gaze.
The boy's thin back was stretched straight, his knuckles digging into the ground, as if he was trying hard to suppress some emotion.
——That is the obsession of wanting to be recognized.
After a long while, Fu Changsheng slowly spoke:
"Do you want to practice?"
Just five short words, but they sounded like thunder!
Fu Yongren's whole body trembled, tears welled up in his eyes instantly, but he stubbornly refused to let them fall.
He knelt heavily on the ground, resting his forehead on the cold rock, and said in a hoarse voice:
"I want to! My child...I am willing to pay any price!"
"it is good!"
A hint of relief flashed across Fu Changsheng's eyes.
Huizhou Prefecture, the head of the family’s residence.
Fu Changsheng waved his sleeves, and complex array patterns lit up on the walls of the secret room, completely isolating the inside and the outside.
"Take off your shirt, sit cross-legged in the center of the formation, and calm your mind."
Fu Yongren took a deep breath and sat down as he was told. He looked at the glowing vine in his father's hand, his heart beating like a drum.
This is the key to changing your destiny!
Fu Yongren tore open his coarse cloth without hesitation, revealing his bony chest. He sat cross-legged in the formation, his back straight, without a trace of fear in his eyes.
Fu Changsheng raised his finger, and the piece of Nine Sky Ghost Vine floated up into the air. A faint light flowed around the vine, and upon closer inspection, there were countless runes swimming on its surface.
"When this thing enters your body, it will be like thousands of ants gnawing at your heart and thousands of knives cutting your bones. This process will last for three days." Fu Changsheng stared at his young son. "If you can't hold on, your meridians will be severed and you will die."
Fu Yongren grinned, his teeth chattering: "Don't worry, father, I will hold on even if I die!"
"Hold on"
Fu Changsheng put his fingers together like a sword, and the dark vine suddenly turned into a stream of light, piercing Fu Yongren's heart!
"Ugh—!"
The young man let out a beast-like roar from his throat, and his blood vessels instantly swelled. It seemed as if countless tiny snakes were scurrying wildly under his skin. The moment the vine entered his body, it grew wildly in his meridians like a living thing, and every inch of the vine was like a knife cutting and tearing his flesh!
Fu Changsheng was also a little nervous, and kept pinching his fingers. The spiritual fire in the formation surged, turning into nine fire chains that bound Fu Yongren's limbs and bones - this was to prevent him from hurting himself due to the extreme pain.
On the first day, Fu Yongren bled from all his orifices and his nails all cracked, but he didn't faint. He stared at his father's figure on the wall, his pupils dilated and then forced to focus.
On the second day, the vine began to eat away at his internal organs. The boy curled up like a shrimp, making a "ho ho" sound from his throat, and blood from the corners of his mouth dripped with saliva.
On the third day, the sound of bones cracking suddenly rang out in the secret room. Fu Yongren's spine broke and reassembled bit by bit, and vine-like golden patterns appeared on the new bones. Just as he was about to collapse, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the hot iron chain of the array pattern, using the severe pain to stay awake!
Fu Changsheng's eyes moved slightly.
This almost self-abuse cruelty was something he had never experienced even when he was refining his spiritual roots:
"Hold on! If you pass out, all your efforts will be wasted!"
Fu Yongren's eyes were bloodshot, his nails dug deep into his palms, and blood dripped through his fingers.
pain!
Heartbreaking pain!
The vines took root in his body, as if they wanted to crush and reassemble his internal organs!
But he stared at his father's figure, with only one thought in his mind -
"I must... become a monk!"
A hint of surprise flashed across Fu Changsheng's eyes.
Even an adult monk might not be able to endure such pain, and this child...
"good."
He rarely showed approval, and took out a pill and put it into Fu Yongren's mouth.
"Take it and calm your mind!"
As the pill entered his stomach, a cool feeling spread, slightly relieving the pain.
Fu Yongren took the opportunity to adjust his breathing and tried hard to stay awake.
"boom!"
A vortex of spiritual energy suddenly rolled up in the secret room, and a dark green beam of light burst out from Fu Yongren's crown. His originally shriveled body was filled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a faint jade-like luster flowed under his skin.
The most amazing thing is the Dantian area——
A miniature vine took root in the qi sea, and its roots were entwined into the shape of a spiritual root. Every time it inhaled and exhaled, it caused the spiritual energy in a radius of several feet to vibrate!
"Father, I...I can sense spiritual energy!"
Fu Yongren's voice was hoarse, but he couldn't hide his ecstasy!
Fu Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back and nodded:
"From today on, you are the direct descendant of the Fu family head and can practice cultivation. From tomorrow on, you can go to the academy to practice cultivation."
When Fu Yongren heard this, his eyes instantly turned red.
He kowtowed heavily, resting his forehead on the ground, and said in a hoarse voice:
"My son...will never let my father down!"
The voice was weak, but firm as iron.
When the door of the secret room was opened again, Fu Yongren had completely transformed.
His face was pale and his steps were unsteady, but his eyes were burning with fighting spirit!
Fu Changsheng looked at his back with a slight smile on his face.
"This boy has the character... to become a great man."
