Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 144: Chapter 124: Qingxu Sect Ruins, Triple Forces Gather, Shortcut for Noble Family Advancement (Part 3)

As for Fu Changsheng’s abilities, he held them in high regard.

Ten years ago, the other party was just a fifteen-year-old boy, yet under his leadership, the Fu Family was thriving. Ascending to a Ninth-Grade Noble Family was only a matter of time.

In the corner of the flying ship.

Fu Molan, who seemed like a transparent person, listened to the three people’s conversation, her heart surging at the moment. For the family to be quickly enshrined, relying solely on the patriarch was too slow; she also wanted to take advantage of this journey to the Qingxu Sect ruins to acquire as many resources as possible. If she could seize this opportunity to directly break through to the peak of Qi Cultivation, it would be the best.

Besides.

The current tier of the ”Thousand Sounds Treasure Manual” she was cultivating was still too low, and it didn’t quite match her Mutated Ice Spiritual Root. From a certain perspective, it still affected her cultivation progress.

There wouldn’t be too much change during the Qi Refining Stage, but once she reached Foundation Establishment, this shortcoming would immediately become apparent. If she could obtain a set of high-tier techniques from the ruins, just like the Patriarch’s Ghost Servant, it would be even better.

For her.

This trip to the Qingxu Sect ruins was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Her fourth sister, Fu Changli, was also excited and nervous, grateful to the patriarch for taking her along once again. She secretly vowed that this time she must play her part well and not become a burden like she had in previous attempts.

After expressing his gratitude, Fu Changsheng returned to the main topic, tapping the storage bag, and once again pulling out a parchment identical to the one he had just taken out.

Shangguan Hongyu’s phoenix eyes moved, immediately guessing:

”Changsheng, do you mean that it’s not only the Lei Family who knows the location of the Qingxu Sect ruins?”

”Miss Hongyu is indeed smart. This parchment was obtained after I killed a Tier Two Array Master from the Celestial Yang Tribe in Taiyun Valley. This parchment is a copy. If I’m not mistaken, the people from the Celestial Yang Tribe are likely aware of this matter concerning the ruins, and since the Cloud Soaring Tribe is so close to the Celestial Yang Tribe, there’s probably a high chance they are aware of it as well.”

He paused for a moment.

Fu Changsheng continued:

”Moreover, my informant placed in the Lei Family reported back”

”The Lei Clan Leader secretly contacted the Ping Family in Pingshan County a year ago. If I’m not mistaken, the Lei Clan Leader probably wants the cultivators from the Ping Family to take the lead.”

Upon hearing this.

Shangguan Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

The Lei Family, as a subordinate power of their Shangguan Family, had ruins information but did not report it to them. Instead, they went to Pingshan County, clearly already alienated internally.

Once they return from the ruins.

The Lei Family need not be kept any longer.

Seeing the killing intent in Shangguan Feng’s eyes, Fu Changsheng was satisfied.

The Lei Clan Leader approached the Ping Family solely because of his close relationship with the Shangguan Family. He believed that even if he reported the ruins information, he wouldn’t get any benefits, and Shangguan Feng and his daughter might take the Fu Family to the ruins as well. To prevent the Fu Family from growing too large, he bypassed the Shangguan Family.

Unfortunately, one wrong step led to another!

The three discussed their way on the flying ship.

Unconsciously arrived at a place a hundred miles away from the Penglai Mountain indicated on the map.

Shangguan Feng said:

”You all stay on the flying ship. I will go ahead to scout.”

.....

Penglai Mountain.

In a hidden array at mid-mountain.

Ping Family’s Foundation Establishment Elder, Ping Xingfei, continuously injected techniques into the Eight Trigrams Array Plate in his hand, and spiritual qi was poured into the Penglai Mountain below.

But after several months, there was still no result.

Following behind Ping Xingfei, the Lei Clan Leader had a lot of cold sweat on his forehead out of nervousness, fearing that Ping Xingfei would get angry and kill all the Lei Family members with one strike. He repeatedly emphasized:

”Elder Ping, the ancestor returned from the ruins of Penglai Mountain back then, leaving only one breath, but made it clear to the next clan leader that there was a ruin hidden in the Penglai Mountain and it opens once every hundred years. I dare to swear by the entire Lei Family, that there is no falsehood in my words.”

Usually high and mighty, the Lei Clan Leader could only cautiously flatter when facing a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

”Alright, you’ve said this eight hundred times already!”

Ping Xingfei was already annoyed due to not finding the entrance. Hearing the Lei Clan Leader’s endless chatter beside him, he couldn’t help but frown.

The Lei Clan Leader immediately closed his mouth.

After a while.

Ping Xingfei picked up the parchment given by the Lei Clan Leader and checked it multiple times. The map indeed marked Penglai Mountain without a doubt.

Just as he was about to cast another spell to examine the mountain’s shape, his face changed. He quickly started forming seals, and the flags originally placed on the mountain flew back, landing into the storage bag. With a wave of his sleeve, a Yichen Gauze unfolded in the wind, covering the nine of them, rendering them invisible.

After a while.

Two birds came speeding from the horizon. On the left was Elder Liya from the Celestial Yang Tribe, followed by four peak Qi cultivators. On the right was Elder Yun of the Cloud Soaring Tribe, leading four peak Qi cultivators.

Seeing people from the two tribes appear.

Ping Xingfei frowned.

The Lei Clan Leader’s face turned pale upon seeing this and hurriedly transmitted:

”Elder Ping, I really didn’t know that the Cloud Soaring Tribe and Celestial Yang Tribe were aware of the ruins.”

Ping Xingfei waved his hand, indicating him to be silent.

Since the two tribes came.

That means the ruins are very likely to be real.

They couldn’t find the ruins entrance.

But seeing the confident looks of the Foundation Establishment Elders from both tribes, it suggested that they knew how to get in.

The strange thing was.

After the two tribes reached Penglai Mountain, they only set up a Yellow Sand Cloud Mist Array to cover the sky phenomena and then sat cross-legged on the mountain top to meditate, without searching for the ruins entrance.

Ping Xingfei looked again at the map on the parchment.

Recalling some records of ruins entrances in the clan, he suddenly realized:

”So that’s how it is!”
