Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 115: Chapter 113: Spirit-devouring Insect, the Might of Purple Qi Divine Light, and Counting the Spoils

”Indeed, I was initially planning to keep some strength in reserve to deal with Old Ghost Wu. Since you’ve already taken care of it for me, today I’ll leave a complete corpse for the three of you from the Fu Family!”

The statement concluded.

A fierce look flashed in his eyes.

With a flip of his wrist.

A Three-Life Black Profound Mirror appeared in his hand.

This Three-Life Black Profound Mirror was obtained from an Ancient Cultivator’s Cave Mansion and is rarely shown to others—or rather, everyone who has seen this Treasure Mirror was slain by him.

Elder Lei injected a technique into the Three-Life Black Profound Mirror.

A sinister smile bloomed on his face.

The usual honest farmer demeanor was nowhere to be seen:

”To die beneath such an Ancient Treasure is a tremendous honor for you!”

As the torrents of Primordial Power poured into the mirror, a sense of timelessness emerged.

Once the Three-Life Black Profound Mirror was activated,

there was no chance for Fu Changsheng and Molan to survive today!

Fu Changsheng was the first to strike.

With his right hand, he formed a peculiar seal, and mysterious incantations sounded from his mouth. In the next instant, the Purple Qi Divine Light within him lightly trembled.

Then.

Fu Changsheng himself didn’t have time to clearly see,

as the Purple Qi Divine Light boomed and directly pierced through the Three-Life Black Profound Mirror in Elder Lei’s hand:

”How... how is this possible?!”

Elder Lei’s confident smile instantly transformed into terror.

This Three-Life Black Profound Mirror has helped him kill many Peak Qi Cultivators, and even shielded him during a life-threatening attack when he was pursued by the Celestial Yang Tribe’s Foundation Establishment Elder in the Eastern Wilderness.

Yet, how could Fu Changsheng be stronger than a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?!

As this thought flashed in Elder Lei’s mind, the Purple Qi Divine Light that broke the Three-Life Black Profound Mirror pierced through his brow, and a thin line of blood opened from his brow. Elder Lei fell heavily to the ground, dead with eyes wide open.

This scene appeared slow.

But in reality, it occurred in the blink of an eye.

Fu Molan incredulously turned to look at Fu Changsheng.

The Patriarch’s current strength far exceeded what it was in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, especially with the secret technique he used at the end, which could truly challenge even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

A look of pride appeared on Fu Molan’s face.

Now.

At last, the Fu Family possessed a genuine high-end battle power and no longer had to live cautiously, fearing misfortune.

Even Fu Changsheng himself was startled by the power of the Purple Qi Divine Light.

He anticipated that the Purple Qi Divine Light would be extraordinary, but he never imagined it would be this powerful. He quickly introspected his dantian.

He saw that the Purple Qi, which originally surrounded the Sea of True Qi, had become extremely thin, almost imperceptible.

Clearly.

This Purple Qi Divine Light cannot be used endlessly upon cultivation; it depletes similarly to Mana: ”It seems I must cultivate and store more Purple Qi Divine Light in the future; this is a true life-saving trump card.”

At this moment.

A familiar mechanical sound flashed in his mind:

”Ding”

”For slaying two formidable enemies for the clan, you have gained sixty clan contribution points.”

At the same time.

The clan contribution points on the panel increased from two hundred twenty to two hundred eighty.

Meaning.

He can draw twice in the enhanced lottery and exchange for forty pieces of information.

Fu Changsheng looked at the panel showing his climbing clan contribution points, unable to conceal the delight in his heart.

This venture into Qingcheng Mountain.

The accumulated clan contribution points are nearly as much as in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss.

”Patriarch, Sister Molan, are you alright?”

Stealthily observing the battle from a passage, Fourth Sister Fu Changli quickly rode the Cyan Wolf Demon over as the battle concluded, her face filled with guilt and remorse.

In the battle just now.

She had become a burden.

This realization.

Made her contemplate the shortfall in her combat capabilities. Previously, she was engrossed in nurturing and taming demon beasts, but these Beast Taming Skills proved useless on the battlefield against enemies.

Determined.

After returning from Qingcheng Mountain, she would enhance her cultivation level and truly discover the combat style at which she excels; the family cannot simply rely on the Patriarch and Sister Molan when trouble arises.

Fu Changsheng, seeing a reflective look in Fourth Sister’s eyes, felt comforted.

From the Noble Family Grand Competition at the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, to the annihilation of the Zhang and Li Families at Niushou Mountain, and now to this Qingcheng Mountain—having gone through these intense battles, he hoped that his fourth sister could find her own path and become powerful:

”Fourth sister, take Xiaoqing, Autumn Cicada, and also call upon the mulberry planter from the Spirit Mountain Peak. Have them all help to dig up all these Cyan Mulberry Trees in the mulberry field.”

Transplant them back to the clan.

Even if only half survive, it would still be a considerable income.

”Yes, Patriarch!”

Fu Changli accepted the order and left.

Several days later, Fu Changsheng finished refining the medicinal power of the Qi Replenishing Pill in his body, and his mana finally recovered to about seventy or eighty percent. Next to him, Molan, due to the forced activation of the Thunderfire Hidden Bamboo Cauldron, had severely depleted her Qi blood and was still refining a Blood Replenishing Pill.

Fu Changsheng pinched a technique with his right hand.

A red light shield hovered around him.

He took out three storage bags from his bosom with a touch of anticipation.

The first one belonged to Elder Wu.

A technique was sent into it.

With a flash of dawn light.

Several boxes and some books fell out in succession.

Among the four books, three were Elder Wu’s records of raising spirit pets and his insights on beast taming, which were undoubtedly extremely rare for the Fu Family, which had no inheritance of beast taming techniques.

A smile of joy appeared on Fu Changsheng’s face.

He opened the last yellowed ancient book for a look.

Only to see several pages written in classical text detailing how to feed Spirit-devouring Insects.

Having witnessed the devouring power of the Spirit-devouring Insects, Fu Changsheng knew that even the treasure light of the Seven Treasures Umbrella could be devoured, and that at Tier One Middle Stage, it could resist the Sword Qi of the Celestial Thunder Sword, proving quite formidable.

He continued reading.

Fu Changsheng’s pupils suddenly contracted.

According to the ancient book records.

The upgrade of these Spirit-devouring Insects was extremely domineering, completed by devouring their own kind.

Which means.

Merely feeding them enough Spirit Feeding Pills was insufficient.

Elder Wu had raised such a large group, precisely for the Spirit-devouring Insects to advance to Tier One Late Stage. Luckily, the other party hadn’t had time to let the Spirit-devouring Insects break through, otherwise, today, the victory or defeat would have been uncertain.

Fu Changsheng glanced at those dozens of Spirit-devouring Insects in the Cloud Ring Purple Immortal Tower; should his supply of spirit stones be adequate in the future, he might attempt to nurture a few.

Aside from these books.

The spirit pets White Python and Thousand-Faced Spider of Elder Wu had perished.

The Blood Transformation Crossbow was put away by Molan.

The few boxes in the storage bag held little of value, perhaps due to raising spirit pets, all the spirit stones were nearly depleted, leaving only sixteen Middle-Grade Spirit Stones.

Fu Changsheng’s gaze fell on the two storage bags of Elder Lei, one of which contained supplies needed by mortals for five years, nothing worth looking at.

A technique was sent into the other storage bag.

With a flash of dawn light.

A small number of three boxes and some pill bottles fell out.

Though Elder Lei entered Qingcheng Mountain with confidence of victory, he only brought necessities to prevent accidents, leaving all his wealth in the family territory.

Fu Changsheng’s gaze was immediately attracted to a box with a white lamp pattern, identical to the Nine-Transformation Divine Lamp that summoned the Tri-Colored Phoenix.

A technique was sent into it.

As the box opened.

Inside was indeed the Nine-Transformation Divine Lamp.

Fu Changsheng felt a surge of excitement.

Having witnessed the power of the Nine-Transformation Divine Lamp, he thought if he could also summon the tri-colored Phoenix to fight enemies, he could probably have fifty percent of self-preservation even against a Foundation Establishment cultivator. However, after searching through Elder Lei’s storage bag, he hadn’t found any technique for sacrificial refining of the Divine Lamp.

For an ancient treasure like this, ordinary sacrificial refining techniques were useless:

”That Elder Lei is really cunning!”

Elder Lei didn’t carry it on him, so it must be hidden in the Lei Family Territory.

Fu Changsheng felt somewhat regretful.

Apart from the Nine-Transformation Divine Lamp, he also found sixty-four Middle-Grade Spirit Stones in the storage bag, equivalent to six thousand four hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Thinking back, Elder Lei had indeed used Middle-Grade Spirit Stones to set up a formation when activating the Nine-Transformation Divine Lamp.

His gaze fell on the last box.

Fu Changsheng’s breathing became rapid.

If his guess was correct.

This should be the Three-Transformation Cyan Lotus mentioned in the intelligence!

Earlier, he had asked Meizhen, but as an alchemist, she had never heard of this spiritual object, and he hadn’t found any relevant records in the Zhang Family’s Scripture Pavilion. He naturally wouldn’t be foolish enough to rashly inquire from Shangguan Feng and his daughter. But regardless of what use the Three-Transformation Cyan Lotus had, its millennia of age must be extraordinary.

A technique was sent into it.

One by one, the restrictions on the box were lifted.

The contents came into view.

”Eh?”
