Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 116: Chapter 114: Penglai Mountain Ruins, Foundation Establishment Opportunity, Crucial Information

The box contained not the Three-Transformation Cyan Lotus, but a cowhide scroll. A technique was infused, and the scroll floated in front of him. Upon closer inspection, it revealed mountains and rivers, and several places looked quite familiar:

”Is this Celestial Dragon City?!”

It turned out to be a small portion of a terrain map of the Eastern Wilderness.

Within the map.

On a mountain named Penglai Mountain, there was a conspicuous red dot marked:

”Could it be a treasure map?”

The nearest to Penglai Mountain was the Celestial Yang Tribe.

Fu Changsheng glanced at the Three-Life Black Profound Mirror on the ground destroyed by Purple Qi Divine Light, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

However.

The Celestial Yang Tribe had as many as three Foundation Establishment cultivators.

It was not a place his current cultivation could reach.

Fu Changsheng retracted the technique, and the fragmented map fell into the box, sealing it again:

”It seems the Three-Transformation Cyan Lotus is still in the Fairy Pool.”

Fu Molan was busy digging out the Cyan Mulberry Tree, Molan was healing, and Fu Changsheng left through an underground passage alone, soon arriving at the Fairy Pool.

The pool was shrouded in mist.

In the pool, sixteen middle-grade Spirit Gathering Arrays constantly replenished the pool with ample Spiritual Qi.

With a wave of his sleeve.

The mist in the pool dispersed.

In sight was a three-foot-tall Three-Transformation Cyan Lotus with two leaves:

”Could it be the Three-Transformation Cyan Lotus needs to grow three leaves to be considered ripe?”

Thus Elder Lei hadn’t picked it.

Fu Changsheng didn’t care much about that. In the future, who knew who would enter Cyan Lotus Mountain, and immediately performed a technique to transplant the Three-Transformation Cyan Lotus into the box.

.....

Leimang Mountain.

The secret chamber of the Lei Family’s ancestral hall.

The Lei Clan Leader was meditating with eyes closed.

Suddenly.

He heard a faint sound of wind, opened his eyes, and saw the soul lamp at the topmost position on the altar suddenly extinguish with a puff.

The Lei Clan Leader felt as if struck by lightning, his whole body stiffening to the point where even his eyeballs stopped moving, yet in his heart, a shocking wave surged:

”How... how is it possible?! How could the ancestor die in Qingcheng Mountain, this... this is absolutely impossible?!”

The ancestor held the Nine-Transformation Divine Lamp.

The summoned three-colored phoenix will was enough to slaughter a cultivator of the Foundation Establishment!

How could he have perished in Qingcheng Mountain!

He couldn’t accept this fact.

But the life soul lamp that he was staring at closely remained unlit!

The ancestor truly died in Qingcheng Mountain, the Lei Family’s stabilizing force has fallen!!

The chest of the Lei Clan Leader heaved violently, feeling as if all the strength was drawn out of his body, taking several deep breaths to barely calm himself slightly.

The death of the ancestor must not be known to the clan members or outsiders, otherwise, their position as the head of the four noble families in Anyang County would be untenable.

Moreover.

He must immediately verify.

Whether the ancestor was truly killed by Old Ghost Wu, because in Qingcheng Mountain, only Old Ghost Wu had that capability.

Whether it was done by Old Ghost Wu or not, the lost Nine-Transformation Divine Lamp of the Lei Family must be retrieved, and so must the Foundation Establishment Pill auxiliary herbs cultivated by the Lei Family for over a hundred years in Qingcheng Mountain.

Without the Illusion Heart Grass and Celestial Spirit Fruit.

An entire furnace of Foundation Establishment Pills couldn’t be concocted.

This meant that their century-old plan was ruined.

As the current clan leader.

He absolutely cannot allow such things to happen.

Absolutely cannot!!

At this moment.

The Communication Jade Talisman on him emitted a series of urgent buzzing sounds.

The panicked voice of the Wu Clan Leader echoed out:

”Cousin, did our ancestor... did our ancestor mention to your ancestor where he was going? Our ancestor’s life soul lamp has extinguished!! Cousin, the backbone of our Wu Family is gone, gone! What... what should we do, what should we do?!!”

Old Ghost Wu who entered Qingcheng Mountain together also died?!

The Lei Clan Leader was too shocked to speak for a long time.

What on earth happened in Qingcheng Mountain?

The two ancestors joined forces, and even with the trump cards in their hands, they still had the power to protect themselves against a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so how could they both die there.

At this moment.

A thought flashed through his mind:

”Could it be... could it be the work of that little brat from the Fu Family?”

As soon as this thought emerged.

Things he subconsciously refused to admit before quickly flashed through his mind.

Noble Family Grand Competition.

The ancestors of the Zhang Family and Qiuo Family who died in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss.

Also, the two consecutive owners of Niushou Mountain, the Li Family, and the Zhang Family, were overthrown in a single morning.

All these could not be detached from the shadow of the Fu Family!

”Could it be... could all this have been done by the Fu Family?!”

The Lei Clan Leader shivered!

Eight years ago, Fu Changsheng was just a junior cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Second Layer, and now, in such a short time, has he grown at such a terrifying pace?

If so.

Then wouldn’t the Lei and Wu Families soon follow in the footsteps of the Li and Zhang Families:

”No!”

”I must not let the Lei Family be destroyed in my hands!”

The Lei Clan Leader tightly closed his eyes.

In his mind, thoughts flashed quickly.

If all this was the work of the Fu Family, then facing the Fu Family now would undoubtedly be courting death; to avenge the ancestor and reclaim the Clan Treasure Nine-Transformation Divine Lamp, succeeding in Foundation Establishment is the only way to stand above the Fu Family.

He still had the main ingredient for the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Water Ice Flower!

Even without the two auxiliary herbs, making a complete batch of Foundation Establishment Pills was impossible, but with meticulous strategic planning, he was certain to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill!

If he found himself without options, he could only risk seeking cooperation with a Foundation Establishment cultivator to head to the Eastern Wilderness Penglai Mountain ruins together.

The Penglai Mountain ruins open every hundred years, their Lei Family ancestor had gained fortune there, which had allowed the family to prosper. Since the ancestor could do it, Lei Tianming could do it as well!
