Huiyang County.

A few days later, a green light streaked across the sky and landed outside the valley.

The woman was wearing a plain white dress with pale golden array patterns embroidered on the cuffs. Her eyebrows and eyes were as cold as frost. She tapped her toes lightly and walked in the air. There was a faint spiritual light flowing around her body. It was Yu Qingru.

The three Qin brothers had been waiting for a long time. When they saw her coming, they hurried forward to pay their respects.

Qin Da clasped his fists and said, "Mrs. Yu, you have come all the way here, thank you for your hard work."

Yu Qingru nodded slightly, her eyes swept across the valley, and saw Fu Changsheng's figure emerging from the mist: "Husband"

After Fu Changsheng returned to Wuzhou, he sent a message to Yu Qingru to come to Huiyang County in order to ask her to help set up the formation. The five of them walked straight to the stone platform in the center of the valley.

Yu Qingru stood in the center of the valley, raised her bare hands, spiritual light circulated through her fingertips, and strands of array patterns seeped into the ground like silk threads. She closed her eyes and concentrated, spiritual energy surged around her body, her clothes moved without wind, and the golden patterns on her cuffs sparkled.

After a moment, she opened her eyes, and a hint of understanding flashed in them.

"The yin energy and spiritual veins here are intertwined, forming a 'yin and yang intersection'. If we rashly build a temple, it may cause evil spirits to backfire." Her voice was cold, but every word was clear. "We need to use the 'Four Symbols Evil Suppression Formation' to reconcile yin and yang, and then use the 'Gathering Spirits and Leading Veins' technique to stabilize the veins and make the temple last forever."

Fu Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back: "How long will it take?"

“If we have enough manpower, it can be done in March.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Da immediately cupped his hands and said, "You can summon the formation masters in Huiyang County to come and assist."

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly: "Yes."

Soon, the three Qin brothers transferred more than a hundred array masters from Huiyang County. Although their realm was not high, they were experienced. Yu Qingru disassembled the array and assigned tasks, while he personally sat in the core array and adjusted the direction of the spiritual pattern day and night.

In the valley, spiritual light flickered and array patterns spread like a spider web, gradually covering the entire area.

At the same time, the Fu family's architects were also busy.

They used bluestone as the foundation and spiritual wood as the beams to build an ancient and solemn temple outside the formation. The temple was not big, but it was full of mysteries - the eaves were carved with dragons and phoenixes, the columns were engraved with spells, and even the floor tiles were in line with the eight trigrams.

In the center of the temple, a three-meter-high pedestal for the statue has been completed, waiting for the last step - inviting the god into the temple.

Fu Changsheng stood in front of the temple with his hands behind his back, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Qin Da." He said lightly.

Qin Dalian hurried forward: "What do you want, patriarch?"

"From now on, the three of you will start to publicize the efficacy of the temple." Fu Changsheng said calmly, but without any doubt, "You can show some 'magic' appropriately to let the people of Huiyang County know that this temple is extraordinary."

Qin Da understood and said, "Junior understands."

Three days later, in the West Market of Huiyang County.

"Really! I saw it with my own eyes!" The woodcutter Wang Laowu slammed the table and spit flew everywhere, attracting the attention of everyone in the teahouse.

He gestured with his rough hands, his eyes full of horror: "That day I went into the mountains to chop wood. When I was halfway up the mountain, I suddenly heard a dragon's roar! I looked up and saw golden light rising into the sky in the valley, clouds and mist rolling, and vaguely there was a golden dragon circling!"

The tea drinkers looked at each other in bewilderment. Some sneered, "Wang Laowu, have you drunk too much? Are you dazzled?"

Wang Laowu was so anxious that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He took out a scaly stone from his arms and said, "Look! This is what I picked up at that time! It feels cold and has a faint sense of oppression!"

When everyone got closer to take a look, they saw that the stone had faint golden patterns and felt cold to the touch, unlike any ordinary object.

Five days later, we arrived at the North Lane of Huiyang County.

Hunter Zhang Tiedan's face was pale and he trembled as he told his neighbors about his experience last night.

"I, I was just taking a shortcut home, but when I passed by the newly built temple, a strong wind suddenly blew!" His voice trembled, and his fingers tightly grasped the corner of his clothes. "I looked up and saw that the statue... the statue's eyes were actually open! Staring straight at me!"

The people around him took a breath.

"Then what?" someone asked anxiously.

Zhang Tiedan swallowed his saliva. "I was so scared that I knelt down and kowtowed three times. When I looked up again, the statue was back to normal... but look!" He opened his collar, revealing a faint golden mark on his neck. "This mark appeared after I finished worshipping!"

Everyone was in an uproar, and an old man said in a trembling voice: "This, this is a seal bestowed by God!"

Ten days later, in the central square of Huiyang County.

Mr. Qin was dressed in a brocade robe and stood on the high platform with great energy. Behind him was an incense burner carried by Qin's servants.

"Fellow villagers!" He shouted loudly, his voice was loud and clear, how could he sound sick? "I was infected with a strange disease some time ago, and no medicine could cure it. Fortunately, I was blessed by the Tianlong Temple. I burned a stick of incense and recovered the next day!"

The people below the stage were discussing the matter, and some questioned, "Mr. Qin, are you faking your illness?"

Mr. Qin was not angry. He laughed and suddenly opened his clothes, revealing a hideous black scar on his chest: "Which doctor in Huiyang County doesn't know this evil disease? If it weren't for the divine intervention, I would have died long ago!"

When everyone saw the black mark clearly, they immediately believed it - Yin Sha disease is a terminal illness, and it is difficult for ordinary cultivators to cure it, let alone mortals?
The rumor spread like wildfire. In just half a month, everyone in Huiyang County knew about the extraordinary efficacy of the "Tianlong Temple".

In teahouses, taverns, streets and alleys, people were talking about miracles everywhere.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day when the temple was officially opened.

On this day, the sky was clear and cloudless.

The people of Huiyang County had gathered outside the valley early in the morning, and the crowd was as bustling as ants. There were white-haired old men walking with canes, with awe in their eyes; there were women holding babies, whispering to the crying children; there were also groups of young men, whispering and talking.

"I heard that this temple is very effective. Mr. Qin's terminal illness was cured here a few days ago!"

"Isn't it? My neighbor, Hunter Zhang, passed by last night and saw the statue open its eyes with his own eyes!"

"Shhh—look, the temple door is about to open!"

The crowd suddenly became quiet, and countless pairs of eyes looked towards the temple.

In front of the temple, Fu Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back, wearing a black robe. The mountain breeze blew past, and his clothes fluttered, making his figure look like a deep abyss and a towering mountain, unfathomable.

Yu Qingru stood quietly beside him, her plain white dress was spotless, the gold pattern on her cuffs shone faintly in the sun. She looked indifferent, her eyes like water, as if the hustle and bustle before her had nothing to do with her.

Qin Da, Qin Er and Qin San stood on the stage, their eyes burning, waiting for the auspicious moment to come.

"The auspicious time has come——!"

Qin Da shouted loudly, his voice like a bell, echoing in the valley.

Fu Changsheng slowly raised his hand, his sleeves moved without wind, and an invisible force suddenly spread out.

"Shh-!"

Above the temple gate, red silk fell down!

The four large gilded characters "Tianlong Temple" appeared prominently!
The handwriting was as vigorous as leaping dragons and snakes, and every stroke seemed to contain endless power. As the golden light flowed, there was even a faint sound of a dragon's roar!

As the people were amazed——

"boom--!!!"

In the center of the temple, the statue suddenly burst out with dazzling golden light!

A dragon-shaped shadow rose into the sky from the statue, with scales and claws flying, beard erect, and eyes like torches, overlooking all living things!

"Roar--!!!"

The dragon roared, the sound was like a tide, shaking the valley and the clouds!
The people were horrified and fell to their knees with their foreheads pressed to the ground, trembling all over.

"The real dragon has appeared! The real dragon has appeared!" Someone burst into tears and shouted hoarsely.

Some even crawled forward and kowtowed desperately: "Please bless me, Dragon God! Please bless me, Dragon God!"

Those who were originally half-believing and half-doubting no longer had any hesitation and rushed to the temple gate.

In front of the incense burner, green smoke rose up, but it condensed in the air and did not dissipate. It turned into the shadow of a small dragon, which circled several times before slowly sinking into the statue.

"Miracle! This is a true miracle!"

The people went completely crazy, and the smell of incense instantly filled the entire valley, so thick that it almost turned into substance.

Fu Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes reflecting the golden light rising into the sky, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Just now.

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

"You have built a Tianlong Temple for your family, which will have a profound impact on the future. You have been awarded a special lottery opportunity. Would you like to redeem it?"

Huh?
The system actually awarded a lucky draw!
Fu Changsheng's eyes lit up with joy, but there were so many people at the moment that he resisted the opportunity to draw the lottery immediately. In addition, he had another important task to entrust to Qingru:
"Qingru, come on, follow me to the secret room!"

Avoid crowds.

Fu Changsheng and the other person entered the secret room that had been opened up under the temple.

The secret room is deep and secluded.

The luminous pearls inlaid on the stone wall glowed with a cold light, illuminating two slender figures.

Fu Changsheng waved his sleeves, and the battle flags in his sleeves flew out, landing accurately at the four corners of the secret room. As the spiritual light flowed from his fingertips, an invisible barrier quietly rose up, completely isolating the inside and the outside.

"Husband, but An An, Kui Ge'er and the others have had trouble in Jingzhou?" Yu Qingru was vaguely worried when she saw Fu Changsheng being so serious.

In order to help Qing Ge'er build Huixi County, she has not returned to Jingzhou for a long time. Among her children, only An An and Kui Ge'er stayed in Jingzhou.

"Don't worry, An An and Kui Ge'er are both fine." Seeing that Yu Qingru had misunderstood, Fu Changsheng quickly told her that Kui Ge'er had already established his foundation. Yu Qingru felt relieved when she heard that.

Fu Changsheng did not beat around the bush. He flicked his black robe and three jade boxes appeared out of thin air, suspended in the air.

"Meteorite iron."

The first jade box was opened, revealing a piece of pitch-black metal with star-like silver spots all over its surface. As soon as it appeared, the temperature in the secret room suddenly dropped, and even the air seemed to stagnate.

Yu Qingru's eyes moved slightly.

"Void Stone."

In the second jade box, a fist-sized gray-white crystal was quietly suspended. There seemed to be clouds and mist flowing inside, which sometimes expanded and sometimes collapsed, as if it was a small world of its own.

Yu Qingru's breathing stagnated.

"Phantom sand!"

The third jade box opened, and a mass of sand as bright as a galaxy poured out. Each grain of sand refracted colorful phantom light. As soon as it flowed, it left afterimages in the air, like a dream.

Yu Qingru finally changed color: "Husband, you...you actually collected these three items...and--"

She glanced at the jade box, and her voice was unusually volatile: "This amount is enough to build six teleportation arrays!"

These three spiritual materials, no matter which one they were, were almost never seen in the market or at the exchange meeting, because they were controlled by the imperial court. She never expected that her husband would be able to gather all the spiritual materials in such a short time, and in quite a lot of them.

After calming down.

Yu Qingru is already eager to try:
"Husband, have you decided on the locations for these six teleportation arrays?"

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly: "The Tianyin tribe has golden elixirs guarding the mountain. If they send golden elixirs to attack the mountain one day, Tianlang Mountain will definitely not be able to be defended."

And Tianlang Mountain is their stronghold in the Eastern Wilderness.

If the Fu family wants to obtain more resources in the future, they will have to expand outward and plan ahead.

He raised his hand and a light of inspiration outlined a map in the air.

"The first teleportation array connects Yunshan County in Jingzhou and Tianlang Mountain in the East Desert." A golden line suddenly lit up as his fingertips passed between the two places. "Tianlang Mountain is adjacent to the Tianyin Tribe. If attacked, the troops of Huizhou Prefecture can be first transferred to Yunshan County and then to Tianlang Mountain. They can arrive in half a day."

"Qingru, with your ability, how long will it take to build these two teleportation arrays?"

Yu Qingru's fingertips gently stroked the void stone, feeling the spatial force contained in it. After a moment's silence, she slowly spoke: "The teleportation array is different from ordinary arrays, especially the long-distance large-scale teleportation array. It needs the void stone as the base, the meteorite iron as the skeleton, and the phantom sand as the guide. Only when the three are combined can the spatial channel be stabilized."

She raised her eyes, a trace of solemnity flashed in her eyes: "Although I am a quasi-fourth-level array master, I am only at the Purple Mansion level, and I have never been involved in the construction of a teleportation array before. If I were to figure it out alone..."

"Conservatively speaking, at least ten years."

Fu Changsheng frowned slightly.

Ten years is too long.

The Tianyin tribe is watching the situation covetously and may launch an attack at any time. If we wait ten years to build the teleportation array, I am afraid that Tianlang Mountain will have already changed hands.

"Ten years is too long." Fu Changsheng said in a deep voice, "If we select a formation master from the clan to help, can we shorten the time?"

Yu Qingru thought for a moment and nodded: "If there are enough people, the progress can be accelerated, but——"

She said in a slightly cold tone: "The teleportation array is a strategically important device. Once the news is leaked, it will surely attract covetousness from all parties, and even the imperial court will intervene."

Fu Changsheng naturally understood the pros and cons and said calmly: "So, these formation masters must be absolutely trustworthy."

Yu Qingru's eyes flickered slightly, and she had something in mind: "Among the direct descendants of the Yu family, there are three formation masters with profound attainments, and they are all taught by me personally, so they are loyal and trustworthy."

"In addition, among the formation masters trained by the Fu family over the years, there are also several with good talents. Although they are still inexperienced, they are loyal."

Fu Changsheng nodded: "Okay, you will be fully responsible for this matter. Draw up a list and secretly transfer them to Yunshan County."

Yu Qingru waved her hand, and the three jade boxes closed and put into her sleeves.

"The construction of the teleportation array must be done in secret. It is best to choose a place where spiritual veins converge. This can not only stabilize the formation by using the power of the earth veins, but also conceal the fluctuations of spiritual energy."

Fu Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "There is an abandoned mine on the west side of Yunshan County. The underground is connected to the spiritual vein and is rarely visited. It can be used as a workshop."

Yu Qingru nodded: "I will personally inspect it, and if it is suitable, I will start construction there."

She paused, and then continued, "However, building a teleportation array still requires a large amount of auxiliary materials, such as boundary stones and ethereal wood. Although these are not as rare as the three main materials, purchasing a large number of them in a short period of time may still attract attention."

Fu Changsheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have already instructed Yongshang to purchase the complete goods in batches over the years."

In order to reduce time.

Fu Changsheng paused and said, "Qingru, when the time comes, I will let Fairy Tianyin build the teleportation array with you."

Fairy Tianyin has been in the Fu family for many years, and she has already broken through the Purple Palace. Her attainments in formations are not much different from Yu Qingru's. She has also been working diligently in the Fu family over the years without any out-of-line behavior. Upon hearing this, Yu Qingru's pressure was obviously reduced:
"That would be the best."

With the help of Fairy Tianyin, the construction of these two teleportation arrays should be able to shorten the time a lot. However, Yu Qingru pondered for a while and thought that it would be best to make Fairy Tianyin one of her own, as she would be the most reliable. After all, human hearts are unpredictable and the sea is immeasurable.

but.

The words came to my lips.

She swallowed it back again. No woman in the world would be willing to share her husband with others, unless she didn't love him.

The two haven't seen each other for many years.

After finishing the business.

When their eyes met, Yu Qingru immediately understood the meaning in Fu Changsheng's eyes. Yu Qingru glared at him, but still obeyed.

Fu Changsheng coughed lightly:
"Qingru, my cultivation of the Imperial Court Dao Body has reached the second stage, which can harmonize yin and yang. I would like to take this opportunity to help you regulate it."

Yu Qingru's eyes lit up when she heard this.

Fu Changsheng sat cross-legged, with golden light flowing around him, as if a dragon shadow was entangled. He closed his eyes slightly, and the "Imperial Court Dao Body" in his body was running to the extreme, and a vast imperial aura spread out, like an emperor coming to the world, with unparalleled majesty.

Yu Qingru sat quietly opposite, her white dress as white as snow, her black hair hanging down, her skin as white as jade. She closed her eyes and concentrated, her spiritual power flowing slowly like a trickle, but she could vaguely sense a hint of stagnation - that was the hidden injury left by her early practice, although it was not fatal, but if it continued for a long time, it would definitely hinder her from making further progress.

"Qingru, relax." Fu Changsheng's low voice echoed in the secret room with irresistible majesty.

Yu Qingru's eyelashes trembled slightly. She slowly exhaled and completely released her spiritual power.

The next moment——

"Buzz!"

Fu Changsheng formed seals with his hands, and the power of the second stage of "Imperial Court Dao Body" in his body completely erupted!

"The imperial dragon energy, yin and yang complement each other!"

In an instant, golden light shone brightly around him and an illusory golden dragon leaped out of his body, circling around the two of them. The dragon's low roar seemed to contain the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

Yu Qingru felt a warm current flowing into her body, like a spring breeze, nourishing every inch of her meridians. The originally stagnant spiritual power gradually became smooth under the guidance of this power.

"Is this... the harmonizing power of the Imperial Court's Taoist body?" Her heart was slightly shaken.

Fu Changsheng raised his lips slightly, his voice low and gentle: "Yes, the second stage of the Imperial Court Dao Body can harmonize yin and yang and consolidate the foundation of the Dao. Today, I will help you repair your hidden injuries and consolidate your foundation."

Before he finished speaking, he lightly tapped his fingertips, and a wisp of golden dragon energy flowed into Yu Qingru's dantian.

"boom--!"

Yu Qingru's whole body trembled, and the spiritual power in her body surged like a river, breaking through several shackles in an instant! Those hidden injuries that had accumulated for many years, under the flushing of the imperial dragon energy, were like ice and snow melting, and completely dissipated.

What was even more astonishing was that her foundation of Taoism became increasingly solid under the nourishment of this power. Her originally somewhat frivolous late Purple Mansion realm was now as solid as a mountain!
"Husband, this..." She opened her eyes, her eyes full of shock.

Fu Changsheng smiled slightly: "The Imperial Court Dao Body is a secret teaching of the ancient royal family. When you cultivate it to the second stage, it can help fellow Taoists to participate in the Great Dao together."

Yu Qingru's heart was filled with ripples. She had practiced for many years and knew the importance of a solid foundation. If she hadn't practiced together today, even if she practiced hard for another hundred years, she might not be able to completely eliminate the hidden dangers.

"Thank you, husband." She said softly, with a rare hint of tenderness in her eyes.

Fu Changsheng shook his head and held her hand tightly. "You and I are husband and wife, why should I thank you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the dragon energy in his body changed again, transforming into yin and yang energies, which merged with Yu Qingru's spiritual power. The two people's auras gradually merged into one, and the spiritual energy in the secret room also boiled over, pouring into the two people's bodies like a tide.

Inside the secret room, Fu Changsheng and Yu Qingru finished their dual cultivation, their auras blended together, and their spiritual energy circulated endlessly. At this moment——

"Buzz!"

The five elements space in Fu Changsheng's dantian shook violently, and a mysterious power wave spread out.

"Hmm?" Fu Changsheng raised his eyebrows and his mind sank into the five elements space.

——In the five elements space.

The originally silent Shanhe Clan Cauldron was actually trembling slightly at this moment, and the long-dormant "family treasure tree seed" in the cauldron was actually quietly cracking at this moment, and a tender green bud broke through the ground!

"This……"

Qiu Niang was originally tending to the spiritual field. She was stunned when she saw this, then quickly stepped forward, her beautiful eyes full of shock.

"The seeds of the treasure tree...sprouted?!"

She squatted down and touched the tender bud carefully. A warm and ancient breath came from her fingertips, as if she had touched some blood-connected power.

"Master!" Qiu Niang quickly sent a message, "The seeds of the family treasure tree have sprouted!"

Fu Changsheng's mind moved, and he immediately projected his consciousness into the Five Elements Space.

"This precious tree... really does use blood as nourishment."

Qiu Niang nodded and explained, "Master, this tree is an ancient 'clan sacred object'. It will only sprout when the family's luck is at its peak and the bloodline is thriving. Now that it has been activated by the master and his Taoist partner's dual cultivation, it means that the master's bloodline power is strong enough to support its growth!"

Fu Changsheng seemed to be thinking about something.

——The family treasure tree will grow a branch every time a child with spiritual roots is born.

——After five branches, the treasure tree advances to the first stage and produces "initiation fruit" that can help descendants improve their cultivation!

"In other words, the more offspring Qingru, Meizhen, and I have, the faster this tree will grow?"

Qiu Niang covered her lips and chuckled: "Master, not only that, every time this tree breaks through a level, it will produce spiritual fruits with different effects, and it may even derive 'bloodline magical powers'!"

There was a gleam in Fu Changsheng's eyes.

——This item is simply the supreme treasure for the family’s rise!
His mind returned to reality and he looked at Yu Qingru beside him with a slight smile on his face.

"Qingru."

"Hmm?" Yu Qingru looked up and saw that he looked strange, and she couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Fu Changsheng did not explain, but just held her hand and said softly: "In the future, maybe we should have more children."

Yu Qingru: “……?”

Early the next morning, Yu Qingru left the Huiyang County Temple. Before returning to Yunshan County, she went to Huiping County, which was governed by her son Fu Yongqing.

Huiping County, County Magistrate's Office.

Fu Yongqing was reviewing official documents in his study when he heard the guard outside the door report: "My Lord, the old lady is here!"

"Mother?" Fu Yongqing was stunned and quickly stood up to greet her.

As soon as I walked out of the study, I saw Yu Qingru, wearing a plain white long dress, standing in the yard with a calm expression, and the third brother Fu Yongshou was beside her.

"Mother! Third brother!" Fu Yongqing stepped forward quickly and saluted respectfully.

Yu Qingru nodded slightly, and glanced at the County Magistrate's Mansion. Seeing that everything was in order, a trace of satisfaction flashed in her eyes: "Qing'er, I will be in seclusion for the next few years, and I may not have time to take care of the outside world."

Fu Yongqing's expression became serious: "Mother wants to reach the peak of Purple Mansion?"

Yu Qingru did not comment, but said calmly: "You and Liu Shuang should manage Huiping County well. If there are any difficulties, you can inform the mistress."

She looked at Fu Yongshou again: "Yongshou, your elder brother has a calm temperament, but sometimes he is too cautious. You should help him more."

Fu Yongshou grinned: "Don't worry, mother! With me here, I guarantee that Huiping County will prosper!"

Fu Yongqing shook his head helplessly, but there was a smile in his eyes.

——When brothers work together, they can accomplish anything!

After Yu Qingru finished her instructions, she didn't stay any longer and turned to leave.

Fu Yongqing looked at his mother's back, feeling emotional, and whispered, "Third brother, mother seems... a little softer than before."

Fu Yongshou touched his chin and chuckled, "Of course, mother just went to see father."

Yunshan County, waste recycling workshop.

Fu Yongkui was squatting in front of a pile of scrap copper and iron, sorting them carefully, muttering: "This piece of black iron can be smelted, and this piece of waste talisman paper can be recycled into pulp..."

"Yongkui."

A cold voice came from behind.

Fu Yongkui's whole body stiffened. He turned around slowly and saw Yu Qingru standing not far away with a frown on her face.

"Hello, mother!" He quickly stood up and brushed the dust off his body.

Yu Qingru looked at his hands full of stains, was silent for a moment, and said, "Brother Qing, congratulations on your foundation building."

Fu Yongkui scratched his head: "This is all thanks to my father."

"I was unable to attend your foundation-building ceremony." Yu Qingru took out a box from her sleeve and handed it to him: "This is a gift for you."

Fu Yongkui took it, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and suddenly his eyes widened: "So many spirit stones?!"

Yu Qingru said calmly: "You are too frugal. You can't save resources for cultivation."

"Thank you mother!"

Fu Yongkui suddenly had an idea: "Mother, actually I have a big business recently and I'm short of funds. Would you like to... take a share?"

Yu Qingru raised her eyebrows: "What business?"

Fu Yongkui said excitedly: "Scrap recycling! Don't underestimate this thing, but the profit is extremely high! I have opened up channels in the three surrounding counties. As long as I invest another sum of spiritual stones, I can monopolize the entire Huizhou Prefecture's scrap market!"

Yu Qingru: “…”

She stared at her son for a long while, and finally took out a treasure bag and handed it to him: "Take it."

Fu Yongkui scanned the area with his spiritual sense and found that it was full of medium-grade spiritual stones. He was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you, mother! Don't worry, this investment is definitely profitable!"

Yu Qingru shook her head, turned and left.

——This son is extremely frugal. Even if the business fails, given his personality, he will never squander all the spirit stones.

Fu Yongkui looked at his mother's back and shouted confidently, "Mom! When I make a lot of money, I will definitely give you dividends!"

Yu Qingru paused and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

Yunshan County, Fu Family Formation Pavilion.

Eight Fu family formation masters in green robes stood in the hall, with different expressions. They were all descendants of the Fu family, either direct or collateral, and had practiced formation since childhood, and were loyal to the family.

Yu Qingru was wearing a plain white dress, standing on the high steps, her eyes as cold as frost.

"Today, we have gathered all of you to study a top-secret formation." Her voice was calm, but it carried an unquestionable majesty. "This formation will take a long time, from a few years to ten years. If anyone does not want to participate, you can withdraw now."

The hall was silent.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the corner. Everyone turned around and saw a young man in his early thirties squatting on the ground, dipping his fingers in spiritual ink and drawing something on the array, muttering to himself: "No... If we use the triple pattern here, it may reduce the loss of spiritual power by 30%..."

——Fu Yongzhen, a member of the Fu family's side branch, was born with a fascination for formations and was already a third-level formation master at a young age. He was aloof and not good at speaking, and spent all day studying formations, often forgetting to eat and sleep.

"Sixteenth brother!" an elderly formation master shouted in a low voice, "Madam is speaking!"

Fu Yongzhen finally woke up from his dream. He looked up blankly and saw that everyone was looking at him. He was at a loss and his face turned red: "I, I..."

Yu Qingru's eyes moved slightly, not annoyed, but showed a hint of approval: "What are you researching?"

Fu Yongzhen stuttered, "Madam, I was thinking... if we change the third-layer array pattern of the Spirit Gathering Array to a spiral arrangement, it might be able to... improve the efficiency of the spiritual energy flow..."

As he spoke, his fingers trembled as he drew the outline of a complex array on the ground.

Yu Qingru only took a glance and nodded, "It's a good idea, but the spiral arrangement will make the array base unstable, so it needs to be balanced with 'Spirit Locking Sand'."

Fu Yongzhen's eyes lit up, as if he had forgotten his nervousness in an instant: "Soul-Locking Sand! Yes, yes! Why didn't I think of that!" He slapped his head suddenly, lowered his head and started painting on the ground, completely immersed in his own world.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling helpless and amused.

Yu Qingru coughed lightly and brought the topic back: "Since no one is withdrawing, then follow me."

The fourth floor of the Demon-Controlling Tower.

Dark blue runes flowed on the stone wall. In the empty hall on the fourth floor of the Demon Control Tower, Fairy Tianyin had been waiting for a long time.

"Coming?" She stroked the strings gently, and the ethereal sound echoed in the hall.

Yu Qingru nodded slightly, turned around and looked at the eight formation masters: "Before we start, we need to sign a soul contract."

A contract book glowing with golden light was suspended in the air, and the dense runes on it exuded a heart-pounding pressure.

Fu Yongzhen finally came back to his senses at this time. When he saw the soul contract, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by curiosity. He approached the contract and carefully studied the rune structure on it, and even couldn't help reaching out to touch it.

“No!” Fairy Tianyin flicked her fingertips, and a ray of light stopped him. “This contract involves the soul, so it cannot be taken lightly.”

Fu Yongzhen retracted his hand awkwardly, but his eyes were still fixed on the runes on the contract, muttering to himself: "The rune structure of this contract... is actually based on the 'Soul Guidance Technique', with the 'Silence Spell' and 'Demon Oath' superimposed... Wonderful!"

Yu Qingru said calmly: "Sign it."

Everyone bit their fingers one by one and pressed their blood marks on the contract. When it was Fu Yongzhen's turn, he hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Husband, Madam, if you sign this, does that mean you can't tell anyone about what happened today?"

"good."

"Then... can I use the formation knowledge I learned today in my own research?"

Yu Qingru glanced at him and said, "As long as you don't reveal the source, it's up to you."

Fu Yongzhen immediately smiled and pressed the blood mark happily.

When the last blood mark fell, the contract turned into golden light and dissipated. Yu Qingru then spoke:
"What we are going to build is a teleportation array."

"What?!"

“How…how is this possible!”

Everyone was in an uproar. Even Fu Yongzhen, who was always immersed in his own world, opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth so wide that an egg could fit in.

Teleportation array! This forbidden technique has been monopolized by the imperial court since ancient times! Many array masters have spent their entire lives trying to figure out how to do it!

Fairy Tianyin chuckled: "Everyone, please be patient." She waved her jade hand lightly, and a soundproof barrier enveloped the hall.

Yu Qingru took out the Void Stone, Meteorite Iron and Phantom Sand.

"The void stone is the foundation, the meteorite iron is the skeleton, and the phantom sand is the guide." She tapped her fingertips lightly, and the three materials floated in the air, echoing each other. "Only when the three are combined can the space channel be stabilized."

Fu Yongzhen rushed forward, almost touching his face to the Void Stone, his eyes wide open: "So that's it! So that's it! No wonder the court's teleportation arrays are built near mines, because they need the energy resonance of the Void Stone!"

He suddenly started dancing with joy, and pulled out a tattered notebook from his bosom, writing frantically: "The meteorite iron is used to etch space runes, and the phantom sand is used to harmonize space fluctuations... Oh my God! All my previous research was wrong!"

An elderly formation master asked in a trembling voice: "Madam, if the court knew about this..."

"That's why there is a soul contract." Fairy Tianyin paused while playing the zither. "Now that you have signed the contract, you should understand the pros and cons."

Fu Yongzhen suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with fanaticism: "Madam, can I try to carve the first array pattern? I, I have studied space arrays, although they were all wrong... But I have a feeling that this time it will work!"

Yu Qingru and Fairy Tianyin looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Fu Yongzhen immediately took out his carving knife and skillfully began to carve on the meteorite iron. His movements were smooth and not clumsy at all like usual, as if he was a different person.

As the silver light flowed, a miniature space vortex took shape in his palm!
"Genius!" Even Fairy Tianyin couldn't help but admire.

A trace of satisfaction flashed in Yu Qingru's eyes: "From today on, you will work with me to perfect this formation. On the day of success, the head of the family will not treat you unfairly."

Huiyang County.

After Yu Qingru left, Fu Changsheng closed the secret room magic circle, and with a thought, he directly entered the cabin in the Five Elements Space, intending to redeem the special lottery.

hum!
The autumn cicada in the underworld suddenly sent a message:
"Master, there is something wrong with the temple"

"what happened?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Changsheng immediately decided to go to the temple to check out the situation first. His mind moved slightly, and the next moment, his figure suddenly disappeared in the Five Elements Space.

The wind was howling and the gray fog was everywhere.

Fu Changsheng's figure appeared in front of the Tianlong Temple in the Underworld. Under his feet was the pitch-black underworld, above his head was the dark red sky, and in the distance the Yellow Spring was rushing, filled with a deadly atmosphere.

However, the scene before him startled him slightly——

The temple has expanded!
Originally it was just a lonely temple, but now it covers an area of ​​dozens of miles. The temple walls are towering and the black tiles are majestic. The stone steps in front of the temple gate extend to the edge of the underworld. Dozens of stone statues of ghost soldiers stand on both sides, holding long spears and standing solemnly.

What’s even more amazing is——

In front of the left side of the temple, a huge tomb suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

The tomb was completely dark, with a blood-red plaque hanging above the door lintel, with two grim characters written on it:

"Fu Family"

Fu Changsheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he walked slowly towards the tomb.

"Squeak-"

The gate of the tomb opened without wind, and a strong yin energy blew in. Pavilions, towers, and winding corridors could be vaguely seen in the house, which were surprisingly similar to the Fu family mansion in the world of the living!

"Build a temple in the world of the living and a house in the underworld..." Fu Changsheng whispered, with a hint of thought in his eyes.

At this moment——

"boom!"

In the center of the temple, the statue suddenly burst out with a brilliant golden light, shooting straight into the sky!

The golden light was more condensed than before, and a five-clawed golden dragon could be vaguely seen hovering in it, its eyes as sharp as torches, overlooking the underworld. The pressure was so strong that the nearby ghosts fell to their knees and trembled!
Even more bizarre is——

The water of the Yellow Spring has changed!
The originally turbid and yellowish river water now exudes a faint golden glow. The water flow slows down, and wisps of golden mist rise from the surface of the river. Faint sounds of dragon roars can be heard from the bottom of the river!

Fu Changsheng walked to the edge of Huangquan and stretched out his hand to explore——

"laugh!"

A wisp of golden mist wrapped around the fingertips, containing a faint trace of incense and wish power!

“The incense in the world of the living is fed back to the underworld?” His eyes flashed, “The authority of the Heavenly Dragon God… has increased!”

Just as he was thinking, footsteps suddenly came from the depths of the tomb.

"Da da da……"

A blurry figure walked out of the darkness. Although his figure was illusory, one could vaguely tell that he was an old man wearing Fu family clothing and with a solemn expression.

The old man walked up to Fu Changsheng, bowed, and said in a hoarse voice like the wind blowing through dead wood:
"This old slave... pays homage to the master of the house."

Fu Changsheng's eyes fixed: "Who are you?"

The old man slowly raised his head, revealing an old and unfamiliar face, but his eyes were flashing with a strange golden light:
"This old servant is the spirit of the Fu family's grave. Because a temple was built in the living world, the power of incense and prayers connected the yin and yang, so he developed intelligence and is responsible for the affairs of the Fu family in the underworld. However, because the yin and yang road has not been built between the grave and the Fu family ancestral hall in the living world, the souls of the Fu family cannot be extradited to this grave in the underworld at present."

Yin Yang Road?!

It was the first time that Fu Changsheng heard of it.

"Since you are the spirit of the Yin House, do you know how to construct the Yin-Yang Road?"

The old man bowed slightly and said in a hoarse voice: "Reporting to the master, this old servant has just gained wisdom and is not clear about this."

He paused, his eyes flashing with golden light: "However, this old servant can sense that the formation of the Yin-Yang Road requires the fulfillment of three conditions."

Fu Changsheng's eyes moved slightly: "Which three?"

The old man said slowly:

"First, there needs to be a Fu family ancestral temple in the world of the living to enshrine the spirits of our ancestors."

"Secondly, the grave in the underworld needs to accumulate enough incense and vows to stabilize its foundation."

“Third, there needs to be a medium to connect yin and yang.”

Fu Changsheng thought for a moment: "Medium?"

The old man nodded, "That's right. The two worlds of yin and yang are originally not connected. Without something special as a bridge, even if a temple is built in the world of the living and a house is built in the underworld, it is difficult to truly connect them."

Fu Changsheng secretly took note of it and asked Qiu Chan to keep an eye on Mr. Fu and inform him immediately if anything unusual happened.
