Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 161: Chapter 130: The Mystical Uses of the Spirit-devouring Insect, Tallying Up the Spoils, Armies at the Foot of the Mountain (Part 2)

”This... is actually a Tier Three Spiritual Artifact!”

Spiritual Artifacts are a tier above Magical Artifacts because they incorporate the Demon Beast Essence Soul during crafting. The stronger the Essence Soul, the greater the potential of the Spiritual Artifact, possibly even growing into a Tier Four Dharma Treasure in the future!

The Ping Family, worthy of being a Ninth-Grade Noble Family, is profoundly foundational beyond their expectations, actually willing to grant a Tier Three Spiritual Artifact to the Ping Family’s Three Heroes.

Fu Changli, after listening to Fu Changsheng’s explanation, was so excited that he almost jumped up, his eyes wide open:

”A Spiritual Artifact, it’s actually a Spiritual Artifact! Oh my, this is the first time I’ve seen one, who would’ve thought our Fu Family could possess such a high-tier treasure!”

Unlike Fu Changli’s excitement, Fu Changsheng was filled with lingering fear.

He finally understood why the Ping Family’s Three Heroes were able to swiftly take down four Peak Qi Cultivators from the Cloud Soaring Tribe; with a Tier Three Spiritual Artifact in hand, they were invincible at the Ruins Outer Gate.

If not for the Cloud Soaring Tribe cultivators depleting their mana, preventing them from deploying the demon beast essence soul from the Primordial Alms Bowl, it’s likely the dead ones would have been the three from the Fu Family.

Furthermore.

For the Ping Family, though a Ninth-Grade Noble Family, a Tier Three Spiritual Artifact is surely one of the clan’s significant treasures.

It seems that henceforth, the Primordial Alms Bowl must not be shown to others lightly, or it could cause disaster. Fu Changsheng turned to Fu Changli, solemnly saying:

”Fourth Sister, do not mention the Primordial Alms Bowl to anyone from now on, not even to those closest to us, understood?”

”Yes, Patriarch!”

Fu Changli, not being a fool, naturally understood the gravity of the situation.

Tier Three Spiritual Artifact.

The Ping Family likely left some kind of mark on it.

Fu Changsheng’s divine sense scanned it carefully, indeed finding a powerful spiritual mark left on it: ”Looks like we must refine the spiritual mark on this Primordial Alms Bowl before leaving the ruins.”

Placing the Primordial Alms Bowl aside for now.

Fu Changsheng slapped his storage bag, and a copper mirror appeared in his hand. This was a Magical Artifact from the Celestial Yang Tribe, although only Tier Two High-Grade, it was a replica of the Profound Yellow Mirror, possessing great power.

Molan already had the Tier Two Spiritual Artifact, Thunderfire Hidden Bamboo Cauldron.

Fourth Sister had reached the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation, barely able to wield a Tier Two Spiritual Artifact, and having obtained the Earth Tier ”Ten Thousand Spirits Heart Control Scripture” during this ruin expedition, a significant contribution, Fu Changsheng immediately handed the copper mirror to Fu Changli:

”Fourth Sister, keep this copper mirror for self-defense.”

Fu Changli, somewhat overwhelmed by the honor, hesitated to reject but swallowed those words, saying gratefully:

”Patriarch, Changli will definitely double her efforts to become independent soon!”

Fu Changsheng nodded with a smile.

At this moment.

The familiar mechanical voice resounded in his mind again:

”Ding”

”You have gifted a Tier Two Spiritual Artifact to a clansman, gaining sixty Clan Contribution Points.”

On the panel.

The Clan Contribution Points surged from two hundred eighty-six to three hundred forty-six.

In other words.

He could perform a Double Lottery once and still have one hundred forty-six left, enough to exchange for ample intelligence.

Fu Changsheng’s brows carried a smile as he recounted other items, unexpectedly acquiring nearly sixty Middle-Grade Spirit Stones, twenty Tier One Middle-Grade Spiritual Plants, thirty Tier One Low-Grade Spiritual Plants, ten Tier One High-Grade Spiritual Plants, and two Tier One Top-Grade Spiritual Plants. After sealing them all, the two emerged from the Spirit Medicine Garden.

”Patriarch, is everything well with Fourth Sister?” Molan immediately came forward to ask.

Fu Changli smiled:

”Sister Molan, the Foundation Establishment Pill has already been harvested.”

”That’s wonderful!”

Molan was somewhat excited as well.

Among the clan members, her cultivation, together with the patriarch’s, was currently the highest. If a Foundation Establishment Pill could be refined, she might have a chance to get one, and thus succeed in Foundation Establishment.

Once stepping into the Foundation Establishment Stage.

One would have a lifespan of two hundred fifty years.

This is one of the main reasons countless Qi Cultivators strive for Foundation Establishment throughout their lives; only with a long lifespan can they strive for more.

Upon reaching the entrance.

Fu Changsheng pondered for a moment and spoke:

”I plan to visit Sword Qi Mountain shortly. Molan, Fourth Sister, decide whether you want to come along with me or explore separately, perhaps to places you haven’t visited to see if you can find other Spiritual Objects.”

”Patriarch, if you don’t need assistance, we’ll act separately,” Fu Molan said immediately.

Fourth Sister Fu Changli nodded repeatedly: ”Patriarch, I am the same, with this being my one chance in a hundred years to explore the ruins, it would be a pity not to make the most of it.”

”Alright, then Molan, take the Human Puppet with you, and Fourth Sister, Autumn Cicada should stay with you, be careful!” Fu Changsheng instructed a few times, also handing a copy of the terrain map to both Molan and Fourth Sister.

The three divided their paths at the entrance of the Spirit Medicine Garden.

Fu Changsheng tapped his toe on the ground, landing on the Flying Ship, launching a Technique on the Array Plate. The Flying Ship soared towards Sword Qi Mountain, while having Xiaoqing guard. He intended to use this travel time to first perform Sacrificial Refinement on the Primordial Alms Bowl.

The ”Seven Treasures Sacrificial Refining Technique” should be capable of refining the entire Sword Qi Mountain and should also work on the Primordial Alms Bowl.

....

Lei Family Mountain.

The last sixth elder of the Lei Family at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer had been guarding the Soul Hall since the Lei Clan Leader departed the mountain gate.

Reflecting on the profound injunctions the clan leader left before departing.

He felt a bit uneasy.

Fortunately, as months passed, even though the clan leader and the four others hadn’t returned, the Life Soul Lamp remained intact: ”Looks like I overthought it.”

The sixth elder laughed and shook his head.
