Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 145: Chapter 125: Xiaoqing’s Opportunity, Another Spirit Pet Gained, and Important Intelligence

After the array light curtain set up by the two tribes at Penglai Mountain fell.

Shangguan Feng, who watched the whole process, had a thoughtful expression between his brows, picked up a jade talisman, and quickly said a few words.

Upon receiving the message a hundred miles away, Shangguan Hongyu’s eyes lit up:

”Father wants us to set off now.”

Fu Changsheng couldn’t help but take a deep, nervous breath.

The ruins of the Qingxu Sect were finally opening!

The five of them controlled the flying ship and docked three miles outside Penglai Mountain. Shangguan Feng returned, landed back on the flying ship, and quickly whispered:

”Changsheng guessed right. The nearby Cloud Soaring Tribe, Celestial Yang Tribe, along with the Lei Family and Ping Family, have all arrived at Penglai Mountain. If I’m not wrong, the entrance to the Qingxu Sect ruins will appear automatically at the appointed time. Once both groups enter, we’ll follow.

However, the Celestial Yang Tribe has set up an Eight Extremes Light Splitting Array on Penglai Mountain.

Hongyu, how long will it take to break this array?”

Without breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, Shangguan Hongyu was already a Tier Two Array Master:

”The Eight Extremes Light Splitting Array is a Tier Two Low-Grade Array, and there’s only one Life Gate. If I break the array alone, it would take a stick of incense’s time.”

A stick of incense is too long.

Generally speaking, the appearance time of the ruins’ entrance doesn’t last long.

What lies before them.

There is only one path to take: they must break the Eight Extremes Light Splitting Array before the ruins open, meaning they must engage the two tribes in battle before entering the ruins.

This is the last resort.

Shangguan Feng frowned and said:

”If that’s the case, we’ll have to use the Forbidden-Breaking Pearl. We’ll stick to the original plan, wait for both groups to enter, then we’ll go in. Once inside the ruins, try not to reveal your movements.”

Fu Changsheng didn’t expect Shangguan Feng to have such a good item as the Forbidden-Breaking Pearl. Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief and suggested:

”Miss Hongyu, can you set up an array at the barrier’s vortex within thirty breaths?”

Based on past experience.

They should be transported out of the ruins at the same time.

If they lay an ambush in advance, they would gain the upper hand.

Shangguan Hongyu’s eyes lit up:

”Changsheng’s idea is good. I have a Celestial Wind Profound Wave Array Map in hand. With my father, we can set up the array in ten breaths.”

The Celestial Wind Profound Wave Array is a Tier Two Middle-Grade Array, primarily offensive.

Fu Changsheng was also probing with his question, not expecting Shangguan Hongyu to have it. With this, they secure the advantage of the terrain.

However.

To be on the safe side.

He still thought:

”Redeem intelligence.”

Buzz!

The panel trembled.

A lot of yellow light surged, followed by lines of text appearing:

[1: In one hour, the entrance to the Qingxu Sect ruins will appear at the peak of Penglai Mountain and will last for thirty breaths]

[2: Upon entering through the ruins’ entrance, everyone will be randomly placed in different locations. You will be transported to Black Dragon Pool, where a Black Flood Dragon skeleton lies a hundred feet deep. The Essence Blood remaining in the skeleton will greatly benefit your spirit pet, the Little Cyan Snake, in its evolution]

”Stop the redemption!”

Upon seeing the second piece of intelligence above.

Fu Changsheng’s heart raced.

He never expected the ruins to contain an opportunity for Xiaoqing.

He had to retrieve Xiaoqing from his fourth sister, leaving her only protected by the Illusion Jade Peak Queen Bee.

After pondering for a moment.

Fu Changsheng waved his sleeve and handed over the Hundred Ghosts Banner to his fourth sister:

”Fourth Sister, compared to Xiaoqing, Autumn Cicada has greater mobility and communicates better with you.”

Xiaoqing, containing the Flood Dragon Bloodline, had been attempted to communicate with by Fu Changli a few times after she received it. Possibly because it was already bonded, it was difficult to command it flexibly in Dharma Combat in a short time. Autumn Cicada, however, was different, as it had already developed intelligence.

Fu Changli gratefully accepted the Hundred Ghosts Banner.

Meanwhile, a flash of cyan light appeared in her sleeve, and the Little Cyan Snake returned to Fu Changsheng.

Fu Changsheng patted his storage bag, and with a flash of dawn light, two boxes with white base and leaf patterns floated toward Molan and his fourth sister, Fu Changli:

”Molan, Fourth Sister, these are Tier Two Flowing Light Talismans I made. Keep them with you, just in case.”

Fu Changli was stunned for a moment.

The Patriarch had broken through to become a Tier Two Talisman Master, something they were hearing for the first time.

Upon realization, they were overjoyed.

This was the Fu Family’s first Tier Two skill master:

”Patriarch, you are amazing!”

Fu Changli praised with pride.

Molan wasn’t too surprised, given Fu Changsheng’s demonstrated talent in Talisman Making, breaking through to Tier Two was only a matter of time. However, she was grateful for the Flowing Light Talisman Fu Changsheng gifted her, as it was indeed a life-saving strategy.

Fu Changsheng had made five Flowing Light Talismans in total. After gifting one to Molan and his fourth sister, three remained in his hand. Although Shangguan Hongyu might not lack them, she had given him a Flowing Light Talisman and a Sword Pill when they last entered Cyan Lotus Mountain.

As he was turning to gift the Flowing Light Talisman.

Shangguan flicked his forefinger, and with a flash of cyan light, a box with a white base and plum pattern floated toward Fu Changsheng:

”Changsheng, inside the box is a Celestial Thunder Pearl. Accept it for your protection.”

The Celestial Thunder Seed, condensed from extracting heaven and earth’s thunder and lightning, each seed holds tremendous power; even a Foundation Establishment cultivator could perish if caught unawares.

Such a precious item.

Logically speaking.

He shouldn’t accept it, but on this journey to the ruins, although it’s unlikely to encounter the other three Foundation Establishments, who knows whom they might meet when transported out. It’s best to have the Celestial Thunder Seed for protection.

Feeling grateful, he said:

”Thank you, Miss Hongyu.”

Fu Changsheng also proceeded to give out the Flowing Light Talisman:
