Chapter 482: Treasure Offering, Enthronement, and Special Lottery
Nine Nether Valley·Blood Jade Cave

The night was as dark as blood. There were gusts of cold wind in the valley. The blood jade cave was filled with evil spirits, making it even more eerie than it had been a few years ago.

"Click——"

The withered hand bones suddenly crushed the jade communication talisman, Yin Kui Zhenren's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse like sharpening a knife: "Fu Changsheng... has actually broken through the fake pill!"

Nun Qiuyue swept her silver whisk lightly, her eyes flashed with cold light, and she pinched her fingers together, and a ray of spiritual light reflected the scene outside -

In the phantom, Fu Changsheng stood proudly on the stage. The spiritual power around him was as deep as the sea. Three magic weapons were circling in the air. Sword shadows, spiritual seals, and fire wheels were flying in an interlaced manner, instantly crushing the secret method performed by the Blood Sect Leader!
"Controlling three magic weapons at the same time? This is not something that an ordinary fake pill cultivator can do!" Yin Kui Zhenren's voice was filled with uncontrollable anxiety, "What kind of cultivation method is he practicing?!"

The bone banner in Yun Zhenren's hand moved without wind, and layers of deduction runes appeared on the banner. He said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid he has cultivated more than just the Fu family heritage... maybe he has also inherited some ancient heritage."

Master Qiuyue said coldly: "No matter what he is repairing, our plan must proceed as scheduled."

Yin Kui Zhenren slammed the coffin and stood up, his rotten black robe rustling, and his voice growled like a devil: "But what if he doesn't come at all?! Although the Yuanyin Flower is precious, with his current strength, there may be a way to replace it! If he doesn't step into the Nine Nether Valley, wouldn't our planning over the past few years become a joke?!"

The atmosphere in the cave suddenly became stagnant. Only the runes on the blood jade coffin flickered faintly, reflecting the gloomy faces of the three people.

Master Yun slowly raised his eyes, a calculation flashed in his eyes: "No, he will definitely come."

"The Yuan Yin Flower can not only help cultivators break through the Golden Core stage, but also stabilize the False Core stage and make up for the deficiencies in the foundation. Although Fu Changsheng is strong, when he was fighting, there was still a slight stagnation in the circulation of his spiritual power, and it was obvious that his foundation was not perfect."

Nun Qiuyue nodded and waved her whisk. Fu Changsheng's recent whereabouts appeared in the air. She said in a cold voice, "Moreover, according to the intelligence we have collected, Fu Changsheng secretly sent his clansmen to collect ancient books, all of which are related to the 'Yuan Yin Qi'. It is obvious that he is making preparations."

"Besides, there are only five years left before the Yuan Yin Flower matures. Fu Changsheng has just broken through to the false elixir stage, so it is impossible for him to break through to the golden elixir stage again in such a short time. After the competition, this kid will most likely go into seclusion to consolidate his cultivation."

"But five years later, if he brings Luo Haitang and Fu Yongxuan with him, we will be three against three!" Yin Kui Zhenren said gloomily, "What's more, his current combat power is no less than that of an early Jindan!"

Nun Qiuyue snorted coldly: "Fu Yongxuan is just a newly promoted Jindan, he is not to be feared. As for Fu Changsheng's Jindan combat power... it is just a secret method to increase it, it is difficult to last long."

"In that case, how about we bring along Master Xue from the Blood Demon Sect?" Master Yin Kui's eyes flashed red, "Fu Changsheng stole the Blood Demon Sect's treasure, Master Xue hates him to the core. If we can form an alliance, our chances of winning will be even greater!"

"Ridiculous!" Master Qiuyue waved her whisk with murderous intent, "Qiuyue Temple and the Blood Demon Sect are mortal enemies! The Blood Dao monks are treacherous and vicious. If you try to get the skin of a tiger, you will be bitten back!"

Master Yun also nodded.

Although their Huanxi Sect is not a famous and upright sect, they are unwilling to associate with the Xuesha Sect.

Seeing the two men's resolute attitude, Master Yin Kui forced a stiff smile on his dry face under his black robe and said hoarsely, "Since the two Taoist friends have made up their minds, I will not say anything more."

After saying that, he slowly retreated to the blood jade coffin, and his decayed fingertips stroked the dark red runes on the coffin. The runes lit up slightly, squirming like living things, and exuded a trace of blood mist, which wrapped around his arms.

"Five years later, when the Yuan Yin Flower matures, I will come out to help you."

Before he finished speaking, Yin Kui Zhenren's figure had turned into a ball of blood mist and sank into the coffin with a "whoosh". The coffin lid closed with a bang, and the runes on the blood jade coffin suddenly lit up, spreading like a spider web, wrapping the entire coffin, and a low heartbeat could be heard faintly.

Master Qiuyue looked at the blood coffin coldly, her silver whisk moving without wind. She suddenly turned around and sent a message to Master Yun: "This old ghost's words and actions are strange today. We are the ones who have a blood feud with Fu Changsheng, but he was more excited than us just now. In addition, he even took the initiative to propose to join forces with the Blood Demon Sect... Is there another purpose?"

Master Yun gently waved the bone banner in his hand, and the face of the banner was twisted. He also responded in a voice transmission: "The old monster Yin Kui is about to die, and he has been looking for a suitable body to take over in recent years. With Fu Changsheng's qualifications, he can definitely break through the golden elixir before he is 150 years old. He has excellent talent, and he is practicing both magic and body. His body is powerful... Hehe, he is a top-grade cauldron."

A cold light flashed in Master Qiuyue's eyes, and she cursed inwardly, "What a cunning old man! On the surface, he said he was helping us to get revenge, but in fact, he was targeting Fu Changsheng's body!"

Huixi County.

After the event.

The Fu family's Purple Mansions gathered in the meeting hall, and the atmosphere in the hall was both excited and solemn. Although the ownership of the Red Sun Stone vein had been settled, how to keep this hard-earned wealth had become a top priority.

Fu Changsheng sat at the head of the group, his eyes swept across everyone, and finally landed on Liu Meizhen:

"Meizhen, does the clan still have any fourth-level magic arrays in stock?"

Liu Meizhen sighed softly and shook her head:
"The last set of the fourth-level 'Black Turtle Sea-Suppressing Formation' in the clan was destroyed when resisting the beast tide thirty years ago. Now the highest level in the warehouse is the third-level upper-grade 'Blue Sky Soul-Locking Formation', which is probably unable to withstand the strong attack of the Jindan cultivator."

Fu Changsheng tapped the armrest with his fingertips, and after a moment's hesitation, he said decisively:
"Yongshang, you must immediately inform the branches of Huiping County, Huiyang County, Yunshan County, and Pingshan County, and mobilize the resources stored in Yinan Mountain, Tianlang Mountain, and Jingzhou Mulberry Garden. Prioritize the collection of spirit stones, and make sure to purchase a set of fourth-level defense array in the shortest possible time!"

His eyes were as sharp as a sword:
"The mine has been exposed to the public. Although the Blood Demon Sect has been defeated, there is no guarantee that other forces will not take risks. With the fourth-level formation, Yongxuan will not have to stay for a long time."

Fu Yongshang clasped his fists solemnly:
"Yes! I will contact the managers of each county and dispatch resources overnight." He paused, and added: "Jingzhou Sangyuan has just received a batch of spiritual medicines recently. If we sell them urgently, we can collect 200,000 spiritual stones."

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly, then looked at Fu Yongyi:
"Mining is a matter of time. Yongyi, you lead the team yourself, mobilize all the clan members who are proficient in mineral exploration and mining, and recruit reliable hands from the independent cultivators. Double the wages!"

His tone suddenly sank:
"The competition has made the Red Sun Stone a target of public criticism. We must dig out the mineral veins as quickly as possible and never give outsiders a chance to take advantage!"

Fu Yongyi's eyes flashed:
"Don't worry, father! I have already dispatched 117 foundation-building miners and 1,800 Qi-cultivating miners from our clan in advance. In addition, there are tens of thousands of mortals who are ready to go at any time. In addition, the 'Rock-Breaking Talisman' and 'Vein-Suppressing Plate' for mining have just been transported from Huiyang County and can be put into use in the mine tomorrow!"

"Okay." Fu Changsheng turned his gaze to the shadow in the corner, "Yongrui, what is the current situation of the Blood Demon Sect?"

Fu Yongrui, who had been silent the whole time, slowly raised his head. The black-patterned robe unique to the Dark Hall made his face look stern:

"Reporting to father, the spy has reported back. After the Blood Evil Sect returned to the sect, Blood Eagle was seriously injured and went into seclusion, the Blood Sect Leader became a cripple, and Blood Zhenren went into seclusion and ignored worldly affairs. The Blood Evil Sect is now busy fighting for the position of the Sect Leader—"

There was a pause.

Fu Yongrui continued:

"According to intelligence reports, the Blood Demon Sect's young master was sent to the Blood Prison to reflect on his mistakes after returning to the mountain."

Fu Changsheng's face relaxed slightly, but he didn't dare to be careless:

"The Blood Demon Sect has completely lost face this time. Even the sect's treasure, the Blood Demon Seal, has fallen into my hands. They will never swallow this humiliation."

"Yongrui, send twice as many people to keep a close eye on the Blood Demon Sect, especially their contacts with the Joy Sect and Qiuyue Temple. If there is any unusual movement, immediately light the 'Purple Smoke Talisman' to warn!"

"Yes!" Fu Yongrui bowed and accepted the order, quietly crushing a blood-red jade slip in his sleeve - that was the highest level transfer order from the Dark Hall.

Fu Changsheng slowly closed his eyes and tapped the armrest with his knuckles, as if he was thinking about something. Everyone in the hall held their breath, waiting for his further instructions.

Finally, he opened his eyes and said calmly:
"Yongxuan."

"Father."

"Before the mineral vein formation is completed, I have to trouble you to stay here for the time being to prevent the villains from coveting it."

"Well, the Red Sun Stone mine is guarded by my daughter, so father can rest assured!" Fu Yongxuan nodded in agreement.

Fu Changsheng arranged several chores.

As everyone dispersed, Fu Changsheng, Liu Meizhen and Fu Yongxuan were the only ones left in the huge meeting hall.

Fu Yongxuan took out a red jade box from the storage ring. The box had a faint bloody smell, but it also contained a surge of vitality. She gently opened it, and two crystal-clear blood-jade-like fruits appeared. The surface was flowing with a rich spiritual light, as if blood was flowing in it.

Fourth-grade lower grade blood jade fruit!

"Father." Fu Yongxuan spoke in a cold and clear voice, "I'll keep one of these blood jade fruits, and this one...you take it."

Fu Changsheng didn't take it: "This thing will be of great help to you, keep it for yourself"

Fu Yongxuan smiled and said, "I have one, which is enough."

Liu Meizhen stood aside, looking at her daughter tenderly, then at her husband with a gentle smile on her lips.

They are all family, so Fu Changsheng was not fussy. He took it without hesitation and handed it to his wife:

"Meizhen, take it."

"My husband, you have reached the realm of false elixir. This thing will be of great help to your breakthrough to the golden elixir."

Fu Changsheng shook his head: "I am only one step away from the golden elixir, and I have already collected all the spiritual materials needed for the elixir. The blood jade fruit is of little help to me. If it weren't for your planning, the situation might not be stable in this competition. If you can improve your cultivation, it will be great for the Fu family."

In the ring competition.

Meizhen made a stunning debut.

If she could use this to break through to the peak of Purple Mansion, not only would her strength increase greatly, but she would also be able to enhance the family's high-level combat power reserves.

"Okay." She nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes. "In this case, I will refine this fruit as soon as possible and strive to break through as soon as possible."

The Chiyang Stone mine requires people, so Fu Yongxuan did not stay long and returned to the mining area.

There were only a couple left in the hall.

The red jade box glowed faintly on the table, and the hall was silent for a moment.

Fu Changsheng stared at his wife's gentle yet resolute profile, and suddenly he flicked his sleeves, and a green light flew out from his dantian.

"Zheng——"

The clear sound of swords resounded throughout the hall. The [Qingxiao Sword] was suspended in the air, and the sword body was like autumn water condensed with frost. The unique pressure of the fourth-level magic weapon made the surrounding spiritual energy stagnate. Fu Changsheng lightly touched his eyebrows with his fingertips, and a wisp of golden consciousness was forcibly stripped away. The sword body suddenly became brighter and brighter, and the sound of a dragon's roar resounded.

"My husband, what are you doing?" Liu Meizhen's eyes moved slightly.

"This sword is for you." Fu Changsheng flicked his finger, and the Qingxiao Sword trembled and fell into Liu Meizhen's hand. "Although the gift from the court is good, it is not as good as the Jinglei Sword I made by myself. What's more," he raised his mouth slightly, "with the Black Turtle Sea Seal and the Blood Evil Seal in hand, my husband's magic weapon is enough."

The hilt of the sword felt warm to the touch, and as soon as Liu Meizhen's consciousness touched it, she felt the vast sword intent surging like a tide.

Husband and wife are one.

Liu Meizhen was not too shy.

"Thank you, husband." She stroked the sword gently and suddenly raised her eyes. "I heard that the Qingxiao Sword contains three evil-breaking sword auras granted by the imperial court?"

"That's right." Fu Changsheng nodded, "This sword was originally a magic weapon for guarding the border, and it has a strong restraint on evil techniques." He glanced at the clouds outside the hall meaningfully, "If you encounter the monster from the Huanxi Sect in the future..."

Before she finished speaking, Liu Meizhen suddenly put her fingers together and wiped the sword's edge. A drop of blood seeped into the sword, and the Qingxiao Sword suddenly burst into a dazzling light, reflecting her white dress like a banished fairy. The three jade buckles on the sword tassel shattered in response, turning into a stream of light that sank into the purple palace between her eyebrows.

"I have accepted the sealed sword energy." She made a sword flower and suddenly smiled, "But my husband, do you know why I can activate the secret technique of fake elixir across levels?"

Fu Changsheng raised his eyebrows.

"Because I..." Liu Meizhen raised the tip of the sword lightly, and a wisp of strange spiritual power wrapped around the sword, "It's a mutated chalcedony spirit." As she practiced her skills, spider-web-like crystal patterns appeared on her wrist.

"This"

Fu Changsheng really didn't notice it.

Upon asking, he learned that this was an opportunity Mei Zhen got from his adopted daughter Cuizhi after he was stationed in Jingzhou, and this was how he forged the acquired chalcedony spirit body.

That's the case.

In the future, the couple will be able to work together, and it will be no problem for them to ascend to heaven together.

After the excitement.

Liu Meizhen's face turned serious:
"Husband, Ningning's son... has returned to Huizhou."

"Kang'er?"

"Yes." Liu Meizhen nodded, her voice slightly cold, "Seventh County Prince Zhou Xuanming has removed him from the family tree. Now he has no place to go, so he has no choice but to seek refuge with our Fu family."

Fu Changsheng frowned slightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "Zhou Xuanming, this bastard... is really cruel."

Totally scumbag!

At the beginning, Zhou Xuanming was just an unappreciated bastard in the palace. Back then, this boy was determined to marry Ningning in his life. However, he would have thought that they would change their hearts after just a few years of being together, causing Ningning to end up like this.

This kid rose to fame overnight.

He even didn't recognize Kang'er!
Liu Meizhen sighed, took out a jade slip from her sleeve, pointed with her finger, and a picture appeared in a flash of light -

In the quiet room, Fu Ningning sat cross-legged, with spiritual energy flowing through her body. Although it was still sluggish, she was able to practice on her own. On her knees lay a fluffy flying squirrel, which would fiddle with her sleeves with its little paws from time to time, causing her mouth to slightly smile.

Fu Changsheng was stunned.

——How many years?
——Ever since Fu Ningning was brought back to the Fu family, she has never had such an expression in the past twenty years!

"This..." His voice trembled slightly.

Liu Meizhen said softly, "Thanks to Kang'er bringing back the flying squirrel, Ningning is gradually regaining hope." She paused, and then said, "Also, the imperial edict has been issued. Within a month or two, the court will officially confer the title of Sixth Rank Family on my Fu family. My husband, you are leaving the retreat this time just in time to receive the imperial edict."

Kang'er's surrender not only improved Ningning's condition, but also successfully retrieved the wood flying squirrel, which is a rare animal. The princess imprisoned and tortured Ningning for many years just for this animal. Kang'er has made a great contribution.

He just happened to go back and take a look.

Fu Changsheng nodded: "In that case, let's go, Meizhen, let's go back home together."

...

...

Huizhou Prefecture·Fu Family Inner Courtyard

When Fu Changsheng stepped into the quiet room, Fu Ningning was reading an ancient book, with the flying squirrel curled up on her shoulder, its tail gently wagging. When she heard the footsteps, she slowly raised her head, her eyes as calm as water, no longer as crazy as before.

Fu Changsheng's eyes were filled with tears, and he could hardly control his emotions. He walked forward slowly, and said in a low voice: "Ningning, do you... still recognize me?"

Fu Ningning was silent for a moment and shook her head: "I don't remember, but... it feels familiar."

She lowered her head and stroked the fur of Mu Mu Fei Shu, and said softly: "Mu Mu said that you are a good person."

——Although still taciturn, he is no longer confused.

Fu Changsheng took a deep breath, reached out and stroked the head of the wooden flying squirrel, and whispered: "Okay, okay...take your time, no rush."

Then he laughed: "Mumu is quite clever."

Fu Ningning hummed softly, and said no more, continuing to close her eyes and regulate her breathing.

——Although it has not fully recovered, at least it is no longer an empty shell.

Fu Changsheng sat with her for a while. When he walked out of Fu Ningning's quiet room slowly, the sun had already set and the shadows of the sycamore trees in the courtyard were swaying. He looked up and saw a slender figure standing quietly by the door - it was Zhou Kanger.

The young man was wearing a plain white gown, with a dull royal jade pendant hanging from his waist. His face was thin but with clear features, and his eyebrows and eyes vaguely showed the shadow of Ning Ning in the past. When he saw Fu Changsheng coming out, he immediately bowed and said, "Grandson greets grandfather."

Fu Changsheng's eyes moved slightly. Zhou Kang'er's spiritual power was condensed and not dispersed, and he had already reached the half-step purple mansion realm! But there was a faint sense of stagnation in his breath, which was obviously due to the lack of the soul-guiding pill to break through.

"Get up." Fu Changsheng raised his hand to support her and said softly, "Your mother has looked much better recently, thanks to you."

Zhou Kanger lowered his eyes and said, "This is what my grandson should do."

The moonlight shone between the two of them, and Fu Changsheng suddenly noticed that there were faint dark patterns on the boy's cuffs - that was the unique logo of the "Xuanming Guard" of the Seventh Prince's Mansion. But at this moment, the pattern had been cut away, leaving only the torn cloth.

Fu Changsheng felt a stab in the heart and said in a deep voice: "Follow me."

In the study, the isolation formation slowly rose. Fu Changsheng took out a pot of spiritual tea from the storage ring. Amid the fragrance of the tea, he got straight to the point: "Kang'er, are you having any difficulty in your cultivation now?"

Zhou Kanger's fingertips trembled slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Grandson, it is indeed stuck at a bottleneck." "But are you short of the Soul Guiding Pill?"

The young man looked up suddenly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Fu Changsheng didn't wait for him to answer and continued, "I will arrange this matter. Within three days, someone will send a top-grade soul-guiding pill to your residence."

"This..." Zhou Kanger's Adam's apple rolled, his voice a little tense, "My grandson has just arrived and has not made any contribution to the family yet."

"Silly child." Fu Changsheng shook his head and interrupted, "You brought back the flying squirrel and helped your mother's condition improve. This is already a great achievement. As for the soul-calling pill -" his eyes were deep, "just think of it as a gift from your grandfather for your coming-of-age ceremony. You don't have to be too stressed. This soul-calling pill will be used in my private account and will not take up the quota for other people in the clan."

Zhou Kanger's eyes suddenly turned red. In the Seventh Prince's Mansion, since his grandfather passed away, he had never felt such unreserved care.
"Grandfather," he took a deep breath, suddenly took out a black jade slip from his arms, and placed it solemnly on the table, "Grandson has something important to tell you."

The entire jade slip was dark, with nine blood-colored lines interlaced on its surface, vaguely forming the shape of shackles. Fu Changsheng's eyes fixed - these lines were clearly the "Nine Prisons Seal" passed down in secret by the royal family!
"This is."

Zhou Kanger's fingertips slid across the jade slip, and a drop of blood fell. In an instant, the blood marks on the jade slip faded, revealing the mysterious scripture inside:
Nine Hells Mysterious Scriptures: Earth Rank 2

"This was secretly given to my grandson by my grandfather before he died." Zhou Kang'er said with a hint of reminiscence and pain.

Fu Changsheng's pupils suddenly shrank!
This is a high-grade earth-level technique that can be cultivated directly to the Nascent Soul stage!
Looking at the entire Great Zhou, there are no more than ten techniques of this level! Even the "Xuan Xiao Zhen Jie" inherited by the Xuan Xiao Sect is only at the peak of the Xuan level. If the Fu family obtains this scripture, their foundation will directly leap to several levels!
"Kang'er, do you know the value of this thing?" Fu Changsheng asked in a deep voice.

The young man raised his head, his eyes clear: "Because I know this, I should give it to my grandfather." He paused, "Grandfather once said that this scripture needs to break through the Purple Mansion before you can start practicing."

Fu Changsheng looked at his grandson deeply, and suddenly laughed three times: "Good! Good! Good!"

He put his hand on Zhou Kanger's shoulder and said, "Grandfather will remember this kindness. But..." Then he changed the subject, "Since you have presented this sutra, not only grandfather, but the entire Fu family owes you a great favor. If you have any requests in the future, just let grandfather know, and grandfather will certainly try to satisfy them."

at the same time.

A familiar mechanical voice sounded in Fu Changsheng's sea of ​​consciousness:
"Ding"

"Your grandson has added a second-grade earth-level technique to the Fu family, and obtained 5,000 family contribution points."

Followed by.

The family contribution value on the panel changed to 11,600.

Fu Changsheng gave Zhou Kanger a few instructions, then came out of the courtyard and moved to the meeting room to discuss the preparations for the upcoming enthronement meeting with the elders.

...

The setting sun dyed the bluestone steps outside the meeting hall red. Wang Fugui stood outside the hall with his hands hanging down, his cloud-patterned brocade robe swaying in the wind, and the golden abacus on his waist swaying slightly, making a crisp "click" sound.

He had a spiritual contract hidden in his sleeve - all 800,000 spiritual stones had been deposited in the clan treasury, waiting to be summoned by the clan leader.

There were footsteps in the distance, and the elders of Zifu walked out of the hall one after another, with different expressions. Wang Fugui immediately stood up straight, looking straight ahead. After the last elder left, he took a deep breath, stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the deacon outside the hall:

"Wang Fugui wants to see the clan leader. Please pass the message on."

Soon, he stepped into the hall. Fu Changsheng sat in the main seat, his purple palace pressure was hidden, and his eyes were as sharp as a sword.

"Greetings, clan leader." Wang Fugui bowed deeply.

"Get up." Wang Fugui was one of the first heroes to come to build Wuzhou's fiefdom. Fu Changsheng still had an impression of him. "I heard that you bet on the clan war and earned 800,000 spirit stones?"

"Yes." Wang Fugui presented the spiritual contract with both hands, neither humble nor arrogant, "I am willing to donate all of this spiritual stone to the clan."

Fu Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly, took the spiritual contract, glanced at it, and said, "Do you have any request?"

Wang Fugui said frankly: "Fugui wants to ask the clan to give me the 'Xuan Yin Grass' and the 'Soul Guiding Pill'."

Fu Changsheng's eyes narrowed. "The Purple Mansion's item? You haven't completed your foundation building yet, why do you want this item?"

"This is what my Taoist companion Chunniang asked for." Wang Fugui looked calm.

"Chun Niang?"

Fu Changsheng suddenly remembered that Wang Fugui took the risk to come to Wuzhou to open up wasteland in order to cure his wife Chunniang's illness: "How is Chunniang's illness?"

"Thanks to the great blessing of the clan leader!" Wang Fugui's eyes were slightly red. "My wife not only recovered, but also turned a disaster into a blessing. With the help of the 'Qinglin Secret Method' given by Master Yaoyao, she has reached the peak of foundation building. I am asking for an audience today because I want to donate the 800,000 spirit stones I won from the gambling battle to the clan, just in exchange for a portion of 'Xuanyin Grass' and 'Soul Guiding Pill' to help my wife break through to the Purple Mansion."

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Fu Changsheng's eyes were like lightning, as if he wanted to see through Wang Fugui's thoughts: "800,000 spirit stones are enough to buy several high-grade spirit tools, but you used them all to buy medicine for your Taoist partner?"

Wang Fugui raised his head calmly: "My wife risked her life to get the foundation-building pill for me back then, and today I am just repaying her with this. Moreover -" He suddenly smiled, and the beads on the abacus rang softly, "If she can advance to the Purple Mansion, there will be one more expert in the clan, and as her husband, I will be able to do business with more confidence in the future."

Fu Changsheng laughed suddenly, and a jade talisman flew out of his sleeve and fell into Wang Fugui's hand: "What a 'husband and wife practicing together'! Xuanyin grass and soul-guiding pills, approved. In addition, I will give you a 'divine protection talisman', which can help Chunniang resist the inner demons when she awakens her soul."

Wang Fugui was overjoyed and bowed deeply: "Thank you for your grace, Patriarch!"

After Wang Fugui exchanged three treasures from the General Affairs Hall, he couldn't wait to share this good news with his wife. He pushed open the door of the courtyard with a plaque that read "Fugui Courtyard" with his feet fast. As soon as the formation in the courtyard was closed, he impatiently broke the restriction on the box.

The sound of the pearls and jades of the golden abacus jar startled Chunniang who was meditating. She pushed open the window lattice, and the spiritual pressure of the peak of foundation building spread out like water waves.

"My husband is in such a hurry, is it possible that the gambling house is here to collect the debt?" Chunniang smiled softly with her hands covering her lips, and there was mischief hidden in the fine lines at the corners of her eyes. Although she had recovered from her illness, she still kept the habit of teasing her husband in the Poor Alley.

“Madam, look!” Wang Fugui’s sleeves fluttered, and three treasures floated in the air - the leaves of the Xuanyin grass were like black jade carvings, the surface of the Soul-Guiding Pill was covered with star sand-like spiritual patterns, and the guardian talisman emitted a reassuring light golden halo.

Chunniang's smile froze. Her hands trembled slightly, and she didn't dare to touch these treasures that were enough to make a foundation-building cultivator break his head. "Is this a purple mansion spiritual object? Where did you get so many spiritual stones?"

"I exchanged all these for eight hundred thousand." Wang Fugui proudly turned the golden abacus. After hearing the whole story, he saw Chunniang suddenly push the treasure back with such great force that he staggered back two steps.

"Confused!" Chun Niang's eyebrows were raised, and her pale cheeks due to illness turned red. "Your spiritual roots are mixed, and you need these treasures to refine your foundation." Before she finished speaking, Wang Fugui grabbed her wrist.

The monk's rough palm rubbed the old wound on her wrist - that was the sword mark left when he took the foundation-building pill for him. Wang Fugui's voice was so soft that it seemed as if he was afraid of scaring away the moonlight: "Do you remember what I said by the medicine furnace in Jingzhou? When you recover from your illness, I will make you the most beautiful fairy in the world."

Chunniang's eyes were hot. She certainly remembered that the fire was about to go out and they couldn't even afford firestone.

“But you.”

Wang Fugui smiled and held Chunniang's hand. "I don't know what my qualifications are. I have five mixed spiritual roots. It's lucky that I can cultivate to the foundation. Purple Mansion... I dare not even think about it." His tone was relaxed, but it was a little indifferent. "But my wife is different. You have three spiritual roots, and you have received the teachings of Master Yaoyao. If you advance to the Purple Mansion, we will have more confidence in the family in the future."

Chunniang's eyes were slightly red, and her fingers were tightly grasping his sleeves: "But...but you invested all your wealth for me in the beginning, and now you have finally saved up some wealth, but you want to spend it all on me..."

Wang Fugui gently pinched her cheek and said with a smile: "Why, my lady, do you dislike your husband for being a spendthrift?"

"Nonsense!" Chunniang glared at him, but her eyes were shining with tears.

Wang Fugui put away his smile and said seriously, "My wife, we are one, and if you are strong, I am strong. If you can advance to the Purple Mansion, you will have a different status in the clan in the future. Wouldn't it be easier for you to find some spiritual medicines to improve my qualifications? Besides..." He suddenly leaned closer and lowered his voice, "If you become an elder of the Purple Mansion, I, a small deacon, will be able to walk sideways in the clan in the future. Who dares to gossip about me being a son-in-law?"

Chunniang burst into laughter and hit him lightly: "You are such a smooth talker!"

She was silent for a moment, and finally made up her mind, and solemnly put away the three spiritual objects. She looked up at Wang Fugui, her eyes firm: "Okay, I agree. When I break through the Purple Mansion, I will find a better opportunity for you."

Wang Fugui laughed happily, slapped the golden abacus on his waist, and the beads clicked: "That's right! Businessmen believe in 'big capital, big profit'. Today's 800,000 spirit stones are our 'capital'!"

Chun Niang couldn't help laughing, shook her head and sighed: "It's clearly cultivation, but you treated it as a business."

"Cultivation is also a business." Wang Fugui smiled with narrowed eyes, "It's just that what we do is a long-term business."

After Wang Fugui left, Fu Changsheng finally had some time for himself. He wanted to redeem the special lottery quickly, so he directly closed the secret room magic circle.

A thought.

next moment.

Directly entering the wooden house of the Five Elements Space, you will be surrounded by spiritual energy, and the fragrance of wood mixed with a hint of sandalwood will make you feel peaceful.

Thoughts sink into the sea of ​​consciousness.

A familiar panel appeared before my eyes, with ancient runes flowing continuously and emitting a faint halo.

"I wonder what I can draw this time?" Fu Changsheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He was quite satisfied with the previous harvests, especially the dream-eating insect egg, which was an unexpected surprise.

He no longer hesitated, and thought: "Exchange for the special lottery."

hum-

The panel suddenly burst into brilliant light, and countless mysterious runes flowed like a galaxy, interweaving into a gorgeous picture. The light gradually condensed, and finally turned into a jade-colored box, slowly falling into Fu Changsheng's palm.

The entire box is crystal clear, as if carved from the finest jadeite. There are intricate cloud patterns engraved on the surface. It feels as warm as jade to the touch, yet it exudes a hint of chilliness.

"This box is completely different from the last time." Fu Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly, gathered a wisp of spiritual power on his fingertips, and gently tapped on the restriction in the center of the box.

"Click——"

The restriction was lifted immediately, the lid of the box slowly opened, and a refreshing fragrance instantly spread, refreshing people.

In the box, a thumb-sized seed lay quietly.

The seeds are light gold in color, and the surface is covered with fine silver lines, as if dotted with stars, emitting a faint light.

The system light curtain automatically pops up for analysis——

[Star Tree: Seed]

[Level: Top grade on earth level]

[Cultivation conditions: It needs to be planted in a place with abundant spiritual energy, watered with the power of the stars every day, supplemented with "Moonlight Dew" and "Starlight Sand"]

[Features: When mature, it can produce star fruit. Taking it can enhance the strength of the body and soul, and there is a certain chance of awakening star-related innate magical powers.]

A hint of surprise flashed in Fu Changsheng's eyes: "Star Tree? This is one of the ten legendary sacred trees in the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

If it can be cultivated to maturity, it will not only be of great use to him in practicing the Nine Heavens Star Art, but it will also be like a family heirloom for the Fu family:

"Not bad!"

Fu Changsheng was in a good mood.

at the same time.

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

"You added a star tree seed to the family and received 1,000 family contribution points."

Followed by.

The family contribution value on the panel changed to twelve thousand six hundred.

Fu Changsheng stepped out of the wooden house, and was greeted by the unique spiritual breeze in the Five Elements Space. In the distance, the mountains were undulating, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the gurgling sound of the spiritual spring was accompanied by the faint cries of spiritual beasts, making the whole space full of vitality.

His gaze fell on the top of the sacred mountain, where the Shanhe Clan Cauldron stood majestically, the spiritual soil within the cauldron emitting a rich spiritual light, nourishing several rare spiritual plants - the branches and leaves of the Spirit Eye Tree glowed with a faint silver glow, the vines of the Ancient Mysterious Vine were twined and coiled, purple lightning occasionally flashed between the nodes of the Sky Thunder Bamboo, and the Dragon Blood Tree was completely red, as if it was flowing with real dragon blood.

The Fu family's treasure tree has grown a new branch, which is lush and green, and exudes a strong vitality.

"Owner!"

A clear voice was heard, and Qiu Niang, wearing a light green gauze skirt, floated over lightly, followed by a furry flying-feathered beast, which was diligently digging the soil with its claws to loosen the soil and apply fertilizer to the spiritual plants.

Qiu Niang is a spirit of the Five Elements Space. She has a lively personality, delicate appearance, and a pair of smart eyes that always have a sly smile. Although she is a spirit, she is very intelligent. She usually likes to tease the spirit beasts in the space, especially the silly Feiyu beast.

"What good things has the master brought back this time?" Qiu Niang asked with a smile, but her eyes were already on the star tree seeds in Fu Changsheng's hand.

Fu Changsheng smiled slightly and spread out his palm. The pale golden seeds glowed with starlight in the sun: "Star tree seeds, top grade, earth level."

“Star tree?!” Qiu Niang’s eyes widened, showing a rare hint of surprise, and then she clapped her hands excitedly, “Master is really amazing! He even got such a magical object! If it matures, the star fruit it produces will not only be of great benefit to cultivation, but may even awaken star-related magical powers!”

Without saying a word, she took the seed, examined it carefully, and then turned and flew towards the Shanhezhen Clan Cauldron: "We must plant it quickly. For a sacred tree like this, we must choose the best location!"

Fu Changsheng followed and saw Qiu Niang chose a piece of spiritual soil with the richest spiritual energy next to the spiritual spring well, carefully buried the seeds, and asked Feiyu Beast to fetch the feces of the Seven-Colored Glazed Beast as fertilizer to promote growth.

"The feces of the Seven-Colored Glazed Beast contains ancient wild energy, which is most suitable for the Star Tree!" Qiu Niang said proudly, and then looked at the Feiyu Beast and patted its head with a smile: "Little Feiyu, work hard. If you do a good job, the master may reward you with a star fruit. Then your cub will also benefit from it!"

The Feiyu Beast was originally simple and honest, and at this moment it nodded even more vigorously, flapping its wings and using its claws to dig the soil and apply fertilizer diligently, looking very energetic.

Seeing this, Fu Changsheng was a little puzzled: "Why is it working so hard today?"

Qiu Niang laughed, her eyes gleaming with cunning. "Because this silly fellow's Taoist partner, the Black Water Beast, is pregnant! Now that it is a father, it must work hard and accumulate more merits so that the master can give more resources to its little one in the future!"

Hearing this, Feiyumon scratched his head with his claws in embarrassment, but still nodded firmly, as if to say, "That's right! I'm going to be a father, I have to work harder!"

Fu Changsheng laughed and shook his head: "I didn't expect that you have such awareness."

The flying-feathered beast made a silly "gu" sound and went back to its work.

Qiu Niang put her hands on her hips and said proudly, "Master, don't worry. With me here, the star tree will definitely sprout in the shortest time! But..." She blinked and added with a smile, "Master, if you come across something good next time, don't forget Qiu Niang!"

Fu Changsheng smiled helplessly: "You know how to ask for rewards."

Qiu Niang stuck out her tongue and said playfully, "After all, the master is the most powerful person in the Five Elements Space! The more good things the better!"

Fu Changsheng shook his head and laughed, but he was quite relieved in his heart.

His eyes fell on the buried star tree seeds. The light golden seeds flickered slightly in the spiritual soil, as if responding to his expectations.

"It won't be long before the star tree sprouts."

"By then, the family will have another sacred tree to protect the family!"

Seeing that the imperial envoy had not yet arrived in Wuzhou, Fu Changsheng returned to the wooden house again.

Inside the wooden house, candles flickered and sandalwood incense curled in the air.

Fu Changsheng sat cross-legged, holding a piece of white finger bone in his palm. The joints were thick and the surface was covered with mysterious lightning patterns. There was a faint purple electric light wandering between the patterns. As soon as this object appeared, the spiritual energy in the whole wooden house began to boil like boiling water, and a slight crackling sound was heard in the air.

"The finger bones of the Tiangang Thunder Beast." Fu Changsheng stroked the sunken joints with his fingertips. There were three claw marks left there, and he felt a slight numbness when he touched it. This was obtained from the treasure hall of the Xuanxiao Sect. He planned to use it for sacrifice and refinement in preparation for the next golden elixir tribulation.

With a flick of his sleeves, thirty-six lightning spirit stones flew out, forming a small Zhoutian thunder induction array on the ground. When the finger bone fell into the center of the array, all the spirit stones lit up with dazzling purple light at the same time, and arcs of electricity coiled around it like living things, condensing into nine ancient thunder seals on the surface of the bone joints.

"Sure enough, it contains innate lightning patterns!" Fu Changsheng's eyes suddenly lit up. If the bones of this kind of beasts are properly sacrificed, they can at least share 30% of the power of the lightning tribulation when they are overcoming the tribulation. Together with the Nine Tribulations Cauldron of the previous great elder of Xuanxiao Sect, it is enough to deal with the golden elixir lightning tribulation.

He made hand gestures, and his true fire gushed out from his mouth and nose. When the lavender flames wrapped around his finger bones, the thunder seals suddenly rebelled, and the electric snakes actually tore a gap in the true fire. Fu Changsheng was not surprised but happy, and the fake pill in his dantian spun rapidly, and more of his true blood essence mixed into the true fire.

“Refine!”

With a light shout, the flames turned dark purple, and the temperature in the room dropped strangely. Ice crystals instantly formed on the window frames, and fine electric lights flashed inside the ice crystals. The finger bones gradually softened under the double tempering of ice and fire, and finally turned into a ball of flowing lightning.

More than a month later, one morning, a hole suddenly appeared in the wooden house.

When Fu Changsheng stepped out, a bone-white wristband appeared on his left wrist, with arcs of electricity flashing from time to time. Qiu Niang, who was guarding the door, was about to speak when her hair suddenly exploded all over her body. She was so shocked that she took three steps back: "Master, the master has a divine power."

"It's just the Tiangang Thunder Demon." Fu Changsheng smiled and touched his wristband. Although this newly refined [Thunder Bone Barrier] is only a quasi-magic weapon, the trace of Tiangang aura it contains is very effective in resisting thunder tribulations. He looked up at the sky and said, "According to the time, the cloud boat of the enthronement envoy should arrive in Wuzhou."
