Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 224: Chapter 151: Counting the Spoils, Foundations of the Fiefdom (Part 2)

Who to find for the refining is still a problem:

”It seems next time I go to Wanning Marketplace, I should make some inquiries at the Wanning Commerce Association.”

In this feudal land.

Crisis lurks everywhere.

If Autumn Cicada can smoothly break through to Tier Two,

then their feudal land can be considered guarded by three Foundation Establishment cultivators, plus the improved version of the Tier Three Ten Thousand Ghost Array, which would be a firm foothold.

The group flew for several days more.

A Taiqiu Mountain Range spanning hundreds of miles appeared in sight.

Entering the Taiqiu Mountain Range.

Meant that.

They had arrived at the territory of their feudal land.

The Taiqiu Mountain Range was previously a stronghold of the Eastern Wilderness Cloud Mountain Tribe. After being cleared by the Court, it was established as Yunshan County. Fu Changsheng said, ”Uncle Yu, Molan, you wait here first, I’ll head to Supreme Profound Peak to scout the situation.”

Supreme Profound Peak is where the World Suppression Bureau of the Court is stationed.

Supreme Profound Peak towers several hundred zhang high.

Standing like a sentinel atop Yunshan Peak.

The surroundings of Supreme Profound Peak are covered by an array light curtain. Fu Changsheng, controlling his sword, stopped in front of the peak and cupped his hands towards the array, saying loudly:

”Fu Changsheng of Luofeng Mountain comes by imperial decree to take over the feudal land!”

As soon as the words fell.

The array light curtain rippled.

Then a charming voice came out:

”Show your Noble Family Jade Seal.”

Apparently.

The other party was also wary of impostors from the Eastern Wilderness Tribe.

Fu Changsheng waved his sleeve.

Buzz!

The Ninth-Grade Noble Family Jade Seal flashed into view, with a wisp of fortune swirling invisibly on it.

After a while.

They saw the array light curtain in front of them ripple with waves.

Immediately after.

Cao Xiang’er, dressed in light green palace attire, gracefully stepped out from Supreme Profound Peak on a peach branch. Her cultivation had surprisingly reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and behind her was a man dressed in World Suppression Bureau attire, at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Fu Changsheng cupped his hands:

”Greetings, Master Cao.”

Cao Xiang’er was not yet thirty, but she was already in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, the Right Vice Hall Master of the South Huai Prefecture’s World Suppression Bureau. Cao Xiang’er casually scanned Fu Changsheng with her Divine Sense.

Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes twitched slightly.

She was somewhat surprised.

Because the information she received was that Fu Changsheng had been in Foundation Establishment for less than five years, yet now his cultivation had broken through to the third layer of Foundation Establishment, even considered a rare talent in their World Suppression Bureau.

The expressionless face instantly softened a bit:

”Well, as for the task handover, Vice Hall Master Liu should have already told you. I won’t bore you with unnecessary details, but I will remind you of one thing.”

”From the moment you take over the feudal land,”

”If the Court issues a Recruitment Order, your Fu Family must respond unconditionally, that’s the first point. Additionally, starting from this year, in the fourth year, your Fu Family must pay the tribute as agreed.”

Paused for a moment.

Cao Xiang’er finally mentioned:

”From now on,”

”Your Fu Family is no longer an ordinary cultivator clan but has stepped into the ranks of Noble Families. This means that any Ninth-Grade Noble Family conferred by the Court can act against you, so be prudent!”

After speaking.

Cao Xiang’er gestured with her hand.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The array flags originally embedded in Supreme Profound Peak burst from the ground and were collected into her pouch without further ado. She rode on the peach branch and quickly disappeared into the Taiqiu Mountain Range.

Seemingly.

The other party had been guarding this place for many years.

Already impatient to leave.

Without the cover of the array.

What unfolded before their eyes on Supreme Profound Peak was a ruin.

The Court and the Cloud Mountain Tribe had a fierce battle here, and the Cloud Mountain Tribe was defeated. However, judging from the battle scars left on Supreme Profound Peak, it was clearly a brutal fight:

”I hope the Spirit Vein is not damaged!”

Fu Changsheng took out a Communication Jade Talisman, swiftly sending a message to Molan. After a while, Molan rode on the Windbreak Beast, and Grandmaster Yu and others arrived at the gate of Supreme Profound Peak by Flying Ship.

Fu Changli sensed the abundant spiritual qi pouring towards him, delighting in it:

”As expected of a Tier Two Spirit Vein, Patriarch, does this Supreme Profound Peak now belong to our Fu Family?”

”Yes, not only this Supreme Profound Peak but the entire Taiqiu Mountain Range is our feudal land.”

”That’s wonderful!”

Fourth Sister Fu Changli was already eager to explore the mountain.

Though.

All around were broken walls and ruins.

But as long as this Tier Two Spirit Vein was intact, everything could be handled.

Fu Changsheng said:

”Fourth Sister, have the Double-Pupil Rat locate the spiritual spring within the Spirit Vein first.”

”Yes, Patriarch!”

Fu Changli responded excitedly.

Finding the spiritual spring.

Would make it much easier for Grandmaster Yu to set up an array.

After all.

The location of the array hub is often the place with the most abundant spiritual qi.

”Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!”

The Double-Pupil Rat leaped from Fu Changli’s shoulder, its black and white pupils changed in an instant, and Fu Changli quickly followed.

After getting off the Flying Ship.

Grandmaster Yu also took out an array plate to survey the terrain, while Fu Molan actively helped out.

Fairy Lady Cai was most concerned about the Spirit Field within the Spirit Vein:

”Patriarch, where should the Spirit Medicine Garden be established on this Supreme Profound Peak? Can you show me the way?”

Since this was previously a stronghold of the Cloud Mountain Tribe,

the Spirit Field should already be opened:

”Please wait!”

Fu Changsheng, controlling the Celestial Thunder Sword, circled around Supreme Profound Peak.

Returning to the mountain gate,

”Master Cai, please follow me.”

”Yes, Patriarch.”

Fairy Lady Cai rode the Flying Ship, bringing the remaining Spirit Plant Cultivators along, leading directly to the back mountain from the mountain gate.

In the back mountain.

Lines of collapsed wooden buildings could be seen.

In front of the wooden buildings.

Blocks of Spirit Fields came into view.

However.

These Spirit Fields were crisscrossed and ravaged with gullies at this time.

Fairy Lady Cai descended from the Flying Ship, lamenting with some pain: ”Such fine Spirit Fields have been wasted like this, truly... ”
