Chapter 462: Preparing to Condensate the Pill, Born a Bad Seed, Family Inventory

Chapter 462: Preparing to Condensate the Pill, Born a Bad Seed, Family Inventory (10.4k)

In the deepest part of the forbidden area in the back mountain of Xuanxiao Sect, there is a secret valley that is not even marked on the sect map.

The valley entrance is entangled by thousand-year-old vines, and there are hidden illusions between the vines. Even if a Jindan Zhenren accidentally enters this place, he will unknowingly circle back to the original place. Only those who master specific footwork can pass through the illusory fog and step into this forgotten world.

There is a small house in the valley.

The cabin was filled with fog. The spiritual energy was so dense that it almost condensed into substance, turning into tiny spiritual liquid particles in the air. When I inhaled it, I could feel my meridians slightly warm.

hum!
Accompanied by a slight tremor of spiritual mist.

The door of the hut opened.

A gray figure walked out of the room.

——It was the previous great elder of Xuanxiao Sect who had been “dead” for thirty-seven years.

He was as skinny as a ghost, with sunken eye sockets, but the gleam in his eyes was like a knife, piercing through the darkness.

The Great Elder's figure shook.

Appeared in the center of the valley.

A dark blue stone platform stood quietly, and in the depression on the platform was a pool of emerald green spiritual spring - [Nine Revolutions Spiritual Spring].

The spring slowly rotates like a whirlpool, with nine golden lines floating on the water surface. Each line contains the purest "Alchemy Qi" between heaven and earth.

It is said that this spring was refined by ancient monks with secret methods, which can help the peak monks of Purple Mansion to compress the liquid mana in their bodies to the extreme and finally condense the golden elixir. However, the spiritual charm in the spring can only be used once. Once it is absorbed, the nine patterns will dissipate, and the spiritual spring will turn into ordinary water, without any magical power.

By the spring.

A skeleton leaned against the bluestone, its bones were crystal clear like jade, and it was obvious that it had a very high level of cultivation when it was alive. However, the bones on its body were covered with cracks, as if it had experienced a tragic fight before death. A broken jade plaque hung around the waist of the skeleton, and the three words "Ling Xuzi" could be vaguely seen - it was the sixth elder of Xuanxiao Sect who "went out to travel and died tragically in a foreign land" thirty-seven years ago.

The Great Elder glanced at the corpse with a sinister look in his eyes:
"Sixth Junior Brother, if you had been willing to give up the spiritual spring, why would your body be left uncollected?"

Thirty-seven years ago, Ling Xuzi accidentally discovered this spiritual spring and was ecstatic, but he didn't know that the Great Elder had been following him secretly.

Such an opportunity.

How could the Great Elder miss this opportunity? He made a prompt decision and killed the man ruthlessly.

In the battle that year, although he succeeded in killing Ling Xuzi, he was also seriously injured and on the verge of death. In order to monopolize the spiritual spring, he faked the illusion of sitting and dying, secretly sneaked back to the valley, used the Corrupted Veins Pill to cover up his breath, and even cut off one of his own veins to avoid the sect's detection.

"Thirty-seven years... I have finally recovered from my injuries."

He looked at the Nine Revolutions Spiritual Spring with a fiery look.

He flipped his hand and took out a piece of red crystal - Skyfire Meteorite Iron, which is the key material for refining a magic weapon to overcome tribulations.

"Although the Nine Revolutions Spiritual Spring can help me condense the golden elixir, the golden elixir thunder tribulation is very dangerous. If I can't protect myself with a treasure, I will definitely die."

As a fourth-rank weapon refining master, he already had a plan.

Next.

All you need to do is refine a magic weapon to overcome the tribulation, and then you can try to condense the golden elixir.

Take a deep breath.

The Great Elder sat cross-legged beside the Nine-turn Spiritual Spring, his skinny fingers sketching obscure runes in the air. With a wave of his sleeves, nine black formation flags broke through the air and penetrated deeply into the ground, forming a large formation that blocked the secrets of heaven.

"rise!"

With a low shout, the true fire in his palm suddenly rose. In the red flame, the meteorite iron slowly floated, and gradually softened under the burning of the true fire. The surface of this rare treasure from the meteorite appeared fine fire patterns, and each pattern contained the terrifying power of burning mountains and boiling seas.

The Great Elder's eyes were as fast as lightning and his ten fingers fluttered like butterflies.

He pinched his left hand to draw the Yin Qi from the earth veins, and put his right hand together to form a sword, injecting strands of cold Yin marrow into the melted meteorite iron. At the moment when ice and fire collided, the whole valley was shaken, and the sound of dragon roaring could be heard faintly in the steaming white mist.

"Congeal!"

With a loud shout, the molten iron continued to deform in mid-air.

The elder bit his tongue and spurted out a mouthful of blood. In the blood mist, densely packed copper fragments with lightning patterns emerged. These fragments moved like living things, outlining nine lightning chain patterns on the cauldron.

The refining of equipment has been going on for more than ten years.

The elder's face was pale, but there was a crazy light burning in his eyes. He trembled and took out a piece of thousand-year-old soul-nourishing wood, which he had obtained when he ventured into the Nine Nether Valley during his fake death. The moment the soul-nourishing wood entered the cauldron, the whole cauldron suddenly burst into a dazzling bloody light.

hum!
at last.

I do not know how long it has been.

A red tripod finally took shape.

The body of the tripod was wrapped with purple lightning patterns, and the interior was condensed with dark blue ice patterns. There was a faint green soul light flowing through the ears of the tripod. The elder stroked the nine lifelike lightning chain reliefs on the body of the tripod, and a ferocious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"The bones are made of Heavenly Fire, the veins are made of Mysterious Yin, the meridians are made of Thunder Patterns, and the spirit is made of Nourishing Souls. This Cauldron should be named 'Nine Tribulations'!" His hoarse voice echoed in the valley, "No matter how fierce the Golden Core Thunder Tribulations are, they can never shake me in the slightest!"

The moment the tripod was formed, a strong wind suddenly blew in the valley. The skeleton that had been silent for many years beside the spring made a strange "cracking" sound. The elder turned back suddenly and saw that Ling Xuzi's skeleton had turned towards the spiritual spring at some point, and a faint light seemed to flash in the empty eye sockets.

...

...

In Huizhou Prefecture, three miles outside Qingyang Town outside Yuyao City, there is a low cemetery where the ancestors of the servants of the Zhang family of the Fu family are buried. There are solemn green pines and stone tablets like a forest.

Fu Yongzhao, the five-year-old son of Fu Changsheng and Liu Meizhen, squatted in front of a new grave, digging the soil on the grave with his little hands, humming a tuneless nursery rhyme. He was born with a delicate and beautiful face, with a pair of black and bright eyes, and two dimples at the corners of his mouth when he smiled. Anyone who saw him would praise him as "what a smart and pretty child".

But at this moment, there was a malice on his face that was inconsistent with his age.

"Grandpa Zhang said this is his father's grave?" Fu Yongzhao tilted his head, suddenly untied his brocade belt, and urinated on the grave. The pale yellow liquid seeped into the ground along the grave soil, wilting the wild flowers that had just sprouted.

"Young Master! You can't do that!"

A cry of surprise came from behind. Fu Yongzhao turned around and saw an old servant with a hunched back running towards him in panic. It was Zhang Fu, the old servant who served him.

"This is my Zhang family's ancestral tomb! How could you..." Zhang Fu stamped his feet in anxiety, but he didn't dare to reach out to pull this precious young master.

Fu Yongzhao tied his belt slowly, raised his little face, and asked innocently: "Grandpa Zhang, if I pee on your grandfather's grave, will your grandfather be angry?"

Zhang Fu was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Fu Yongzhao suddenly smiled, his eyes curved into crescents: "If your grandfather is angry, he will crawl out of the coffin and beat me!"

Zhang Fu's face turned pale and he knelt down immediately: "Young Master, be careful with your words! Be careful with your words!"

Fu Yongzhao curled his lips, skipped away, and deliberately stepped on Zhang Fu before leaving.

...

...

The night is dark in the Fu family’s patriarch’s mansion.

Zhang Fu knelt on the bluestone slab, his forehead against the cold ground, trembling all over. In front of him was a carved wooden door, with a flickering candlelight inside, reflecting a sitting silhouette - Fu family mistress Liu Meizhen was meditating in the quiet room.

"Madam...I have something important to report." Zhang Fu's voice was hoarse, as if it was squeezed out of his throat.

A sigh came from inside the door: "Come in."

Zhang Fu stumbled in with his back hunched. As soon as he entered the door, he kowtowed three times, his forehead was bruised, but he didn't dare to cry out in pain.

Liu Meizhen raised her eyes to look at him, frowning slightly: "What's the matter?"

"This old servant... This old servant really dares not hide it." Zhang Fu burst into tears, his voice choked with sobs, "The young master... today was at the Zhang family's ancestral tomb..."

Liu Meizhen paused with her fingertips, causing ripples to appear on the spiritual tea in the jade cup.

"say clearly."

Zhang Fu trembled as he told the whole story - how Fu Yongzhao urinated on the grave, how he spoke rudely, and even stepped on him on purpose before leaving. At the end, he fell to the ground and cried bitterly: "I dare not say anything, but that is the Zhang family's ancestral grave! If the ancestors knew about this, I'm afraid..."

Liu Meizhen listened quietly, with an indiscernible emotion in her eyes.

After a long while, she whispered, "Zhang Fu, how many years have you served the Fu family?"

Zhang Fu was stunned, and quickly replied: "Madam, since my great-grandfather, our Zhang family has been serving the master."

"So..." Liu Meizhen stroked the edge of the teacup with her fingertips, and said softly, "What do you think will happen to Zhao Ge'er if today's events are made public?"

Zhang Fu froze and said quickly:
"Madam, please rest assured. I have never revealed a word about the young master to anyone else, including... including my bedmate."

"Um"

"That's why I chose you among so many people to take care of Zhao Ge'er's daily life. But..."

Liu Meizhen stood up slowly, her skirt falling like water. She walked in front of Zhang Fu, looked down at him, and said softly: "There is one more thing, you have to remember, your ancestor was able to survive and enter the Fu family because of me, otherwise your ancestor would have died in the plague, so you remember, what happened today, not only outsiders can't know, including the head of the family can't hear a single word of it——"

She raised her fingertips slightly, a ray of light flashed, and the bluestone brick beside Zhang Fu cracked silently.

"I understand! I understand!" Zhang Fu kowtowed repeatedly, cold sweat soaking his back.

Liu Meizhen retracted her gaze and turned to look out the window. In the night, the lights in Fu Yongzhao's courtyard were off, as if everything was normal.

"I heard that your son has been stuck in the middle stage of Qi training for several years. Please accept this bottle of Runmai Dan." She said calmly, "Starting tomorrow, you must report to me in detail all matters concerning Zhao Ge'er. Go."

"Thank you for the reward, Madam. Thank you for the reward, Madam!"

Zhang Fu took the pill bottle with grateful hands, as if he had been pardoned, and crawled out tumbling.

After the door was closed, Liu Meizhen's fingertips trembled slightly and she closed her eyes.

Her Zhao'er...when did she become like this?

...

...

Liu Meizhen, wearing a plain white gauze dress, walked silently through the corridor. With a tap of her fingertips, the restrictions on the courtyard gate dissipated like water waves, and Fu Yongzhao's door was pushed open silently.

Inside the house, the candles had gone out, leaving only the moonlight shining through the window lattice, casting mottled silver shadows on the ground.

Five-year-old Fu Yongzhao curled up in the quilt, breathing evenly, his little face rosy, his eyelashes trembling slightly like butterfly wings, looking innocent and harmless.

Liu Meizhen stood in front of the bed, staring at him quietly.

——Her Zhao'er shouldn't be like this.

She raised her fingertips slightly, and a ray of spiritual light quietly sank into Fu Yongzhao's brow.

"Zhao'er." She called softly.

Fu Yongzhao's eyelids moved slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes. His dark pupils were particularly bright in the night.

"Mother?" He rubbed his eyes, his voice soft and a little sleepy, "Why are you here?"

Liu Meizhen sat beside the bed, gently stroked his hair with her fingertips, and said softly: "Mother missed you and came to see you."

Fu Yongzhao smiled sweetly and rubbed against her arms: "Mom is the best."

Liu Meizhen lowered her eyes, her tone still gentle: "Where did you go to play today?"

Fu Yongzhao blinked and said innocently, "I went to see the flowers outside the town! Grandpa Zhang took me there."

"Oh?" Liu Meizhen paused, "But mother heard that you went to the Zhang family's ancestral tomb?"

Fu Yongzhao's smile remained unchanged, and even became a little sweeter: "Yes! The flowers there are so beautiful!"

Liu Meizhen stared at him and said slowly: "Zhao'er, what did you do at the grave?"

Fu Yongzhao tilted his head, his dark eyes clear and transparent: "Why do you ask this, mother?"

"Answer mother."

Fu Yongzhao suddenly giggled and covered his mouth with his hands, as if sharing some interesting secret: "I peed! Grandpa Zhang said that was his grandfather's grave, so I wanted to see if his grandfather would be angry!"

Liu Meizhen's fingertips tightened slightly, but her voice remained gentle: "Why do you do this?"

Fu Yongzhao blinked and said innocently, "Because it's fun!"

"Fun?"

"Yes!" He gestured with a smile, "Grandpa Zhang was so scared that his face turned pale. It's so funny!"

Liu Meizhen was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her hand and gently touched Fu Yongzhao's eyebrows with her fingertips.

"Ah!" Fu Yongzhao suddenly covered his forehead, his face instantly turned pale, "Mom, it hurts!"

A trace of pain flashed across Liu Meizhen's eyes, but her tone remained calm: "Zhao'er, mother will teach you a lesson today - if people have no reverence, they will eventually suffer the consequences."

Spiritual light flowed through her fingertips, and a restriction quietly penetrated into Fu Yongzhao's body.

"From today on, you need to recite the 'Heart-Nourishing Sutra' three times a day, sit in meditation for an hour, and cultivate your body and mind."

Fu Yongzhao's eyes flashed with panic, but he quickly regained his innocent look: "Mother, Zhao'er knows he was wrong, please don't be angry..."

Liu Meizhen shook her head gently: "You know you're wrong? No, Zhao'er, you don't know you're wrong."

She stood up and waved her sleeves, and the candles in the room suddenly lit up.

"Kneel down."

Fu Yongzhao was stunned, and finally a bit of fear appeared on his face: "Mother..."

"Kneel down."

Fu Yongzhao bit his lip, slowly climbed down from the bed, and knelt on the cold ground.

Liu Meizhen took out a jade slip and gently placed it in front of him.

"This is the 'Heart-Nourishing Sutra'. Starting tonight, you must recite it every day until you truly understand what 'reverence' means."

Fu Yongzhao took the jade slip with trembling hands, and tears finally welled up in his eyes: "Mother, Zhao'er really knows his mistake..."

Liu Meizhen closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was determination in her eyes.

"Zhao'er, mother is punishing you today not because you desecrated our ancestral tomb, but because you - have no remorse."

She lightly tapped her fingertips, and a ray of light sank into Fu Yongzhao's brow.

"This restriction will stay with you for three days. Whenever you have evil thoughts, it will feel like needles piercing your bones."

Fu Yongzhao's face turned pale, and he finally cried out: "Mother! Zhao'er will never dare to do it again!"

Liu Meizhen gently stroked his head, her voice soft but firm: "Zhao'er, mother hopes you will remember that Fu family members can be proud and arrogant, but they must not be immoral."

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Fu Yongzhao kneeling in the room, clutching the jade slip tightly in his little hands, tears falling to the ground.

Liu Meizhen returned to her room.

But there was a movement in the secret room on the left: "Is my husband going to leave early?"

five years ago.

Her husband had sent a message to her, saying that she would not come out until the day when she was conferred the title of Sixth Rank Family. It had only been about a year, and she estimated that it would take at least another year before that.

Liu Meizhen stepped forward quickly.

next moment.

The light curtain of the magic circle in front of the secret room rippled like water waves, and as the spiritual patterns flowed, a slender figure stepped out slowly.

Fu Changsheng was surrounded by a faint starlight, his skin was like jade, and faintly revealed a silvery-white luster, as if countless tiny starlights were flowing in his blood. His aura was restrained and deep, and his every move caused the surrounding spiritual energy to tremble slightly:
"Husband, what are you doing?"

Liu Meizhen's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she was secretly shocked.

Because this is a sign of the great success of the marrow refining realm of "Nine Heavenly Star Art"!
It is said that those who have achieved this state have bone marrow like stars, blood like rivers, and physical strength comparable to that of spiritual weapons. Although Fu Changsheng did not deliberately release pressure at this moment, the hidden power of the stars still made her feel a little oppressive.

But what surprised her most was...

It took my husband only less than six years to master the marrow refining realm of "Nine Heavenly Star Art"!

If it were an ordinary person.

Even if there is enough Jinyang Holy Water, it will take decades:
"Congratulations to my husband on his successful accomplishments. I hope you can get the golden elixir!"

Before Fu Changsheng went into seclusion.

The baby in Liu Meizhen's belly has not been born yet.

five years ago.

It was only through communication with Liu Meizhen that he learned that she had given birth to another boy for him, and he named him Zhao.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries.

Liu Meizhen wanted to report on the general affairs of Huizhou Prefecture in recent years, but Fu Changsheng waved his hand and said:
"I'll go see Zhao Ge'er first, then talk about business."

There was a lot of impatience in his words, and at the same time a bit of anticipation. After all, this was his youngest child. Besides, he had not been by the child's side since the birth, and he felt guilty about that.

"Husband, Zhao Ge'er lives in the west wing behind our yard."

"Let's go, let's go." Fu Changsheng took Liu Meizhen and the two of them quickly went through the back door. But when they arrived at the corridor in the backyard and looked at the closed door not far away, he felt a rare sense of nervousness in his heart.

Liu Meizhen stepped forward, gently pushed the door open, and whispered, "Husband, Zhao Ge'er is inside."

Fu Changsheng took a deep breath and stepped into the house.

In the dim candlelight in the room, a delicate little boy was sitting at the desk, holding a volume of "Mind-nourishing Sutra" in his little hands, reciting it word by word. He was very beautiful, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, red lips and white teeth, especially his eyes, which were black and bright like stars, revealing a calmness far beyond his age.

Hearing the footsteps, Fu Yongzhao slowly raised his head, and when his eyes fell on Fu Changsheng, he was slightly startled.

Then, he put down the book, jumped down from the chair, bowed politely, and said in a soft but clear voice: "My son greets his father."

Zhao Ge'er has seen Fu Changsheng's portrait.

So I recognized it at a glance. My big eyes were wide open, and I was looking at it curiously and excitedly, with admiration in my eyes.

"Zhao Ge'er"

Fu Changsheng stepped forward quickly and picked up the child.

Fu Yongzhao took the opportunity to hug his neck, not afraid of strangers, and put his little face on his shoulder, whispering: "Mom often said that Daddy's retreat is for the family, so that the family can live a better life in the future... Although Zhao'er can't see Daddy, I am proud to have such a daddy, hehe."

——That’s a very well said thing.

He not only expressed his own "understanding", but also implicitly reminded Fu Changsheng that he had been absent for more than five years and had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father.

Sure enough, a trace of guilt flashed in Fu Changsheng's eyes, and his arms tightened slightly: "It's your father who is sorry for you."

Fu Yongzhao shook his head, patted his back gently with his little hand, and comforted him like a little adult: "Daddy is in seclusion to do great things, how can Zhao'er blame Daddy."

After a pause, he added, "Moreover, Zhao'er has always taken Daddy as an example and has been practicing diligently every day, hoping that one day he can be as powerful as Daddy."

Upon hearing this, Fu Changsheng was even more delighted.

This child... is so precocious and so thoughtful.

How could he know that Fu Yongzhao was secretly calculating in his heart at this moment -

"My mother said that my father values ​​friendship the most, and he feels especially guilty towards his family... The more sensible I behave, the more he will love me."

Sure enough, Fu Changsheng pondered for a moment, and suddenly took out a jade pendant with flowing starlight from his storage ring and gently hung it around Fu Yongzhao's neck: "This thing is called the 'Star Marrow Pendant', which my father obtained in the Kunlun Secret Realm. I will give it to you today."

Fu Yongzhao's eyes lit up, but he did not show any greed. Instead, he said obediently, "Daddy, this is too expensive. I can't take it."

Fu Changsheng rubbed his head and said gently, "The elder's gift cannot be refused."

Fu Yongzhao then "reluctantly" accepted it, his little face full of emotion: "Thank you, Daddy!"

Liu Meizhen stood aside, watching the scene with a happy face.

...

...

Turn back from the backyard.

Liu Meizhen then got down to business:
"My husband, the imperial court sent a message not long ago. It is estimated that the imperial decree of enthronement will be issued in one or two years. For this reason, a few months ago, I asked Uncle Fei to lead a team to the Wanfeng Mountains to capture a third-level monster to be used when welcoming the imperial decree."

"also"

"There is another piece of good news. Sister Xuan sent a message not long ago saying that she has successfully condensed a fourth-grade golden elixir. When she stabilizes her realm, Senior Luo will hold a grand celebration. The invitations have already been sent to our clan in advance."

Yongxuan was picked up.

But Liu Meizhen treated them as her own children and raised them without any help. It can be said that she spent much more time and energy on them than on the triplets Yongqing, Yongpeng and Yongling. Therefore, Yongxuan has deep feelings for Liu Meizhen as a mother. In addition, Yongxuan himself did not know that he was adopted, and always thought that he and Yongqing and his three brothers were quadruplets.

Although in the middle of the process, Yongxuan was claimed by Luo Haitang.

But Liu Meizhen would give Yongxuan all kinds of precious spiritual materials every year. One reason was to support Yongxuan in the Luo family, as money is always a burden; the other was that she didn't want to sever this relationship.

even.

Before Yongxuan formed the elixir.

Liu Meizhen also personally delivered a stick of calming incense, which was a special auxiliary spiritual item used to resist the inner demon of the Jindan stage.

Therefore.

Mention Yongxuan and condense a fourth-grade golden elixir.

The smile on Liu Meizhen's face never stopped:
"Husband, no matter what, our Fu family has produced a Jindan Zhenren!"

Based on Yongxuan’s relationship with them.

If there is trouble in the clan, they will definitely not stand idly by. Not only that, in the future, when Yongxuan has established a firm foothold in the Luo family, he can also collect more cultivation resources for their Fu family. After all, a Jindan Zhenren will definitely have a say in the Luo family.

Although Fu Changsheng had already learned about it from the intelligence.

But with a smile on his face:
"Xuan Jie'er, you have never let us down."

Condensing the fourth-grade golden elixir.

That means that Sister Xuan will have a chance to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future.

The two of them unconsciously talked about Yongxuan's interesting childhood stories.

the end.

Liu Meizhen took out a list from her sleeve and handed it to Fu Changsheng:
"Husband"

“In Huiyang County, the black iron ore vein discovered six years ago has been fully mined. It can now produce 100,000 kilograms of refined iron each year, enough to forge a hundred sets of second-level battle armor.

to this end.

Jing Geer suggested setting up the "Xuanjia Pavilion" to specialize in forging armor, not only for self-use, but also for sale to surrounding families. I thought it was a good idea, so I agreed. Now this Xuanjia Pavilion earns 50,000 spirit stones a year, and the Xuanxiao armor has become the signature of our Fu family, and even many independent cultivators come here to admire it."

Liu Meizhen said with a hint of pride:
"If my husband hadn't destroyed the Xuanxiao Sect back then, we wouldn't have such a complete weapon refining inheritance."

Huiyang County was governed by the three heroes of the Qin family.

These three brothers looked like reckless men, but it was unexpected that in less than 20 years, they had managed Huiyang County in perfect order. Most importantly, the annual income increased day by day.

Fu Changsheng remembered the intelligence about the fragments of the magical treasure on the Lei Ze floating island in Huiping County.

This is a rare treasure that can make the five elements space evolve.

Therefore.

Special concern:
"How about Huiping County?"

Bring this up.

Liu Meizhen took out another jade slip and handed it to Fu Changsheng:
"With the improved Tiangang Lightning Attracting Formation by Chang Lei, the outer area of ​​Lei Ze is now completely stable. It can convert thunder spirit energy for cultivators to practice every year, and the spirit energy concentration in Huiping County will increase by another 20%. The output of Lei Yuan Hall has doubled, and it can produce 50 thunder spirit beads every year."

Fu Changsheng doesn't care about these.

He was afraid that there would be too many people, so he let the magic treasure of Lei Ze Fu Bao be stolen by others.

after all.

There are many people with great luck.

Fu Changsheng tapped the jade slip twice with his fingertips and frowned slightly.

"Meizhen, pass on my order--"

His voice was still calm, but there was a hint of unquestionable determination in his tone.

"From now on, the thirty-mile radius of Lei Ze Floating Island is designated as a restricted area. No one except me is allowed to enter without permission."

Liu Meizhen was slightly startled, but quickly calmed down and said respectfully, "My husband, are you worried that someone might accidentally enter the Thunder Lake and get hurt by the lightning?"

Fu Changsheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly: "The Lei Ze Floating Island has been moving frequently recently, and the power of thunder is more violent than before. If you enter rashly, your life may be in danger."

He didn't explain too much, but Liu Meizhen was already used to his style of doing things, so she nodded immediately: "I'll arrange it right away."

Fu Changsheng pondered for a moment, and then said, "Ask the steward guarding Huiping County to dispatch six half-step purple palaces with three third-level soul-devouring insects to guard in three shifts and patrol day and night. In addition, ask the formation master to reinforce the outer restrictions to prevent anyone from accidentally breaking in."

Liu Meizhen nodded in agreement, but she was still a little confused. Although Lei Ze Floating Island was dangerous, the Fu family monks were already familiar with its rules and had never been so vigilant before. However, she did not ask more questions, but just said, "Don't worry, my husband, I will personally supervise this matter."

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly, but his eyes looked out the window involuntarily, as if he was looking far away in the direction of Lei Ze through the numerous buildings.

——Although he didn't know the exact location of the spiritual treasure fragment, the green-faced white fox had already broken through the third level, and his sensitivity to the spiritual power of heaven and earth became more and more acute. Perhaps this time, he could find the spiritual treasure fragment.

"By the way, Meizhen, there's no need to make this public." He retracted his gaze and said calmly, "Just tell the public that something strange has happened in Lei Ze and that the forbidden area is temporarily closed."

Liu Meizhen nodded: "I understand."

Fu Changsheng raised his eyes and asked, "How is Huixi County doing?"

When Liu Meizhen heard this, a complex look flashed across her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal. Huixi County was the fief of Fu Yongqing, the son of Fu Changsheng and Yu Qingru. It was located on the edge of the Burning Sky Fire Region. The environment was harsh, but it contained rich fire spirit minerals.

"Qing'er has governed well." She took out a red jade slip and handed it over. "This is the report I sent last month."

Fu Changsheng took the jade slip, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and raised his brows slightly.

——Although Huixi County was opened up less than ten years ago, Fu Yongqing has already built the Demon-Protecting City, using formations to isolate the fire poison and attract monks from the clan to settle in. Even more surprising is that when Fu Yongyi went to help build the fief, he discovered a "ground fire vein" deep in the fire area, and used it to cultivate the rare "Red Flame Crystal", which can now be produced stably and bring the family 80,000 spirit stones of income every year.

"Shi Tou is a kid who has made great contributions time and time again." Fu Changsheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a hint of approval in his tone.

He planned to consider giving a fiefdom to Yi Ge'er to govern after he was promoted to a sixth-rank family. Although he was an adopted son, Yi Ge'er's contributions over the years were greater than any of his biological children.

Liu Meizhen mentioned something:
"When An Ge heard that Qing Ge had acquired a new fief, he also rushed over from Jingzhou with manpower and material resources to help. He also brought the improved version of the fire-based technique "Burning Heaven Art" that he had won in the auction, so that low-level cultivators can also practice on the edge of the Fire Region. Now the number of cultivators in Huixi County has exceeded two thousand."

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly, but then changed the subject: "The Fire Region is dangerous, has he encountered any trouble?"

Liu Meizhen's expression froze, and she whispered, "Half a year ago, a 'ground fire riot' broke out in the depths of the Fire Region, burning down a mine. But Sister Yu personally took action to suppress it, and finally brought the situation under control."

Fu Changsheng's eyes darkened. The underground fire riot was extraordinary, and if you were not careful, it would trigger a monstrous fire disaster.

He planned to temporarily place the Nine Yang Red Lotus Flame on the central array platform of the Demon-Controlling City in Huixi County. With this object, the volcanic eruption in Huixi County would be greatly weakened.

Because it involves Yu Qingru.

Fu Changsheng did not ask too much about Huixi County. He was thinking about going to Xuanxiao Sect. After all, the intelligence mentioned that there was a Nine-transformation Spirit Spring there. The Green-faced White Fox had already broken through to the third level, so he should be able to find it.

after all.

Everything else is secondary.

Only when the golden elixir is formed can it be true.

Liu Meizhen said:

"Oh, my husband, when Huixi County was just established, the seventh-rank Wu family's chieftain personally visited us and provided a lot of resources to help build the city. It was obvious that he saw that our Fu family was about to be promoted to the sixth rank, and he wanted to make friends with his own Fu family in advance. The Wu family proposed that the chieftain's eldest daughter marry their son Fu Yongjing."

"Does Jing-ge know about this?"

"It has not yet been made clear."

Liu Meizhen poured a cup of Snow Bud Tea and pushed it over:
"But three years ago, when the girl from the Wu family was undergoing the trial in Danxia Valley, she and Jing Ge'er teamed up to kill a third-level blood-patterned python. It is said that."

The corners of her lips curled up slightly, "That girl deliberately took a detour on her way back, and she 'ran into' Jing Ge'er seven or eight times near the mine he was inspecting."

Jing'er possesses the Xutian Tower.

This is a treasure that even the Yuanying Sect wants.

If he has someone by his side and is careless, that would be bad. Jing'er, wait until he condenses the golden elixir, and then we can discuss the marriage.

Fu Changsheng shook his head: "I won't consider Jing'er's marriage in the short term."

Upon hearing this, Liu Meizhen made a second choice: "In this case, how about I discuss with the Wu family and change the candidate for marriage to Yong Peng?"

Fu Changsheng had no objection.

When Liu Meizhen mentioned the matter of the Nine Nether Valley and the Blood Jade Cave, although he had already known from the intelligence that it was a trap, in order to avoid leaking the news, he still pretended to be surprised. Finally, he said: "This matter is of great importance. When I attend Sister Xuan's Dan Formation Ceremony, I will discuss this matter with her."

the end.

Fu Changsheng patted his storage bag, and a clear light flashed, and a jade box appeared on the table. There was still some frost on the surface of the box, and it was obvious that it had just been taken out of a special storage environment.

"Is this the thousand-year-old snow lotus from back then?" Liu Meizhen opened her beautiful eyes slightly, and gently stroked the forbidden pattern on the jade box with her bare hands. She clearly remembered that when the snow lotus was auctioned at the Wanning Chamber of Commerce, it had three black spots on the rhizome due to rot, and nearly half of its medicinal properties had been lost.

Fu Changsheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and pinched his fingers to release the restriction.

The moment the lid of the box was opened, a pure cold spirit rushed in, the temperature in the hall dropped sharply, and fine ice crystals condensed on the window lattices in an instant. But the snow lotus in the box was crystal clear like jade, with nine lotus petals stretched out like a new moon, and the stamens were flowing with star-like spiritual light - where was there any trace of insects?
"When I bought it, it only had 30% of its medicinal power left." Fu Changsheng tapped the lotus platform lightly, and a wisp of cold silver air wrapped around his fingertips. "However, in the Kunlun Secret Realm, by chance, the pests were completely eliminated, and now this thousand-year-old snow lotus can be used as medicine."

"My husband is truly blessed."

Liu Meizhen was still quite amazed when she looked at the thousand-year-old snow lotus in front of her. After all, even a giant like the Wanning Chamber of Commerce could not cure this thousand-year-old snow lotus, which was enough to show that her husband was a man of great luck.

Fu Changsheng slapped his storage bag, and a flash of light appeared. An ancient jade slip flashed out. The surface of the jade slip was engraved with intricate dan patterns, and faintly revealed a hint of blood-colored light.

"Meizhen, this is the recipe for the [Blood-Transforming Pill]. It needs to use the thousand-year-old snow lotus as the main ingredient, supplemented by nine kinds of Yin-cold spiritual materials." Fu Changsheng handed the jade slip to Liu Meizhen, and said solemnly, "When refining this pill, you need to draw the Yin Fire from the earth veins, and you can't stop in the middle, otherwise the medicinal properties will be destroyed."

Liu Meizhen took the jade slip, scanned it with her spiritual sense, and frowned slightly: "This pill recipe... is actually a quasi-fourth-level elixir?"

Fu Changsheng nodded: "Among the alchemists in the clan, only you, Meizhen, possess the skills of a quasi-fourth-level alchemist, and are proficient in the art of alchemy with cold and yin properties. To be honest, Haiyun, who was brought back by Fu Ge'er, is a hidden water spirit. Once awakened, he will have the potential to form an elixir in the future. By then, our clan will have another great general."

Fu Changsheng simply concealed the fact that he wanted to help Haiyun awaken his memory, and did not mention that Hongyu was now in the South China Sea. The reason why he went to such great lengths to help Haiyun awaken his spirit was largely to be able to reunite with Hongyu as soon as possible.

after all.

Now Hongyu is alone in the South China Sea, helpless and helpless.

Upon hearing this, Liu Meizhen raised her lips slightly, and a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes: "So that's how it is. No wonder my husband was willing to give out this thousand-year-old snow lotus."

The brothers Fu Yongfu and Fu Yongqiang were both born to Fu Changsheng and Cao Xiang'er. However, after dealing with Cao Xiang'er over the years, especially after hearing that Cao Xiang'er failed to form an elixir and was now missing, they felt a little sympathy for her.

In addition, Fu Yongfu had been sensible, obedient and likable since childhood, so Haiyun treated her as a proper mother-in-law and did not think much about it at the time.

A trace of relief flashed in Fu Changsheng's eyes: "It takes a lot of energy to refine this pill. I have ordered people to prepare three bottles of 'Soul Nourishing Pills' to help you, Meizhen, recover your vitality."

"Thank you for your consideration, husband." Liu Meizhen said no more, put the jade slip into her sleeve, and said, "After I comprehend the recipe, I will start to refine the pill. I estimate that the pill will be ready in a few months, and I will give it to Fu Ge'er personally by then."

Fu Changsheng looked at Liu Meizhen's profile and suddenly felt a little sad.

——After not seeing each other for six years, although her expression was still calm, her eyes were slightly tired. Over the years, she had been in charge of the family's alchemy, refining high-level elixirs, suppressing disputes within and outside the family, and even taking care of the cultivation of his many descendants... and he was almost a hands-off manager.

"Meizhen." He suddenly spoke in a low voice.

Liu Meizhen raised her eyes, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes: "My husband, is there anything else?"

Fu Changsheng did not answer immediately, but walked slowly closer and gently touched her cheek. His fingertips were warm, carrying the unique strong spiritual power of the Imperial Court Body, penetrating into her skin like spring rain.

Liu Meizhen was slightly startled, and then she felt a warm current coming from his palm, flowing through her meridians, and actually loosening the hidden injuries that had accumulated over the years from alchemy.

"My husband, this is..."

"Thank you for your hard work over the years." Fu Changsheng whispered with a deep look in his eyes.

Liu Meizhen's eyes moved slightly, as if there were ripples, but soon returned to calm, with only the corners of her lips slightly raised: "My husband, you are too kind, this is my job."

Fu Changsheng shook his head, and gently put his other hand around her waist, bringing her into his arms:
"I have already cultivated the Imperial Court Dao Body to the second stage, which can harmonize yin and yang and stabilize the foundation of Dao." He whispered, "Today, let me sort it out for you."

Liu Meizhen's ears turned red when she heard this, but she did not resist. She and Fu Changsheng had been Taoist partners for many years, and it was common for them to practice together, but they had been apart for many years and had not been so close for a long time.

Fu Changsheng tapped his fingertips lightly, and the prohibition in the hall was silently activated, isolating the outside world from prying eyes. Then, a faint golden light appeared around him, and the meridians in his body were faintly visible, shining like a galaxy - the marrow refining stage of "Nine Heavens Star Art" has transformed his body, and his spiritual power is extremely pure.

He lowered his head and kissed her, and his spiritual power flowed into her body like a trickle. Liu Meizhen only felt a warmth spreading from her lips and teeth, and then traveled through her body. Wherever it passed, her meridians seemed to be washed by the stars, and all impurities were eliminated. Even the fire poison accumulated from years of alchemy was dissolved bit by bit.

Her breathing became more rapid.

Fu Changsheng picked her up and walked towards the jade couch in the inner room.

The couch was covered with thousand-year-old cold jade, which was originally used to help monks to practice meditation, but at this moment it gradually heated up due to the body temperature of the two. Fu Changsheng gently put her down, put his palm on her dantian, and slowly injected spiritual power into her.

"Relax." He whispered, "Let me help you stabilize the Purple Palace."

Liu Meizhen closed her eyes and let his spiritual power flow through her body. She could clearly feel that every ray of his spiritual power carried the unique harmonizing power of the Imperial Court Dao Body, which not only repaired her hidden injuries, but also made her foundation of Dao more solid.

——This is double cultivation, but it is not just double cultivation.

His spiritual power was like an emperor inspecting his territory, meticulous and overbearing, clearing every tiny blockage in her body one by one. Liu Meizhen could even feel her purple palace trembling slightly, as if a long drought had just ended, greedily absorbing the essence he brought her.

After an unknown amount of time, Fu Changsheng slowly withdrew his strength and looked down at the person in his arms. Liu Meizhen's face was much rosier than before, the fatigue between her brows was swept away, and even her skin was shining.

"How?" he asked.

Liu Meizhen opened her eyes, and the light in her eyes was bright and even deeper than before. She exhaled lightly and smiled, "My husband's "Imperial Court Dao Body" is indeed mysterious."

Fu Changsheng raised the corners of his lips slightly, rubbed her cheek with his fingertips, and whispered: "If you like, you can do it often in the future."

Liu Meizhen glanced at him.

Early the next morning.

Fu Changsheng then disappeared and went alone to the former site of Xuanxiao Sect.
