Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 249: Chapter 159: Centipede Mother, Huge Reward, Pleasant Surprise

But there it was.

At the end of the damp cave.

A Fire Storage Tree standing three yards tall came into view:

”It’s actually a Fire Storage Tree!”

Fu Changsheng’s eyes lit up!

The Fire Storage Tree is a Tier Two Middle-Grade Spirit Tree, and the fruits it bears can be consumed directly without needing to be refined into medicine.

Looking at this Fire Storage Tree, it must be a thousand years old.

Clearly.

This Centipede Mother has relied on this Fire Storage Tree to grow until now.

On closer inspection.

There were also two mature Fire-Storage Fruits on the Fire Storage Tree.

White pointed at the Fire-Storage Fruits on the tree indulgently, indicating that Fu Changsheng should pick them and consume them.

Fu Changsheng smiled and praised him a bit.

Then without hesitation, he used magic to pick the two fruits from the Fire Storage Tree and placed them into a box. At the same time, he performed the Five Spirits Transport Technique to uproot the entire Fire Storage Tree.

The Centipede Mother’s eyes were filled with reluctance.

Fu Changsheng reassured it:

”Don’t worry, from now on, the first mature Fire-Storage Fruit every time this tree bears fruit will be sent to you.”

Upon hearing this, the Centipede Mother quickly turned sadness into joy.

Although it has lived for hundreds of years.

The Centipede Mother has never interacted with the external world and is as innocent as a child.

At the same time.

Fu Changsheng’s Sea of Divine Sense was once again filled with that familiar mechanical sound:

”Ding!”

”You have added a Tier Two Middle-Grade Fire Storage Tree to the clan, earning eighty Clan Contribution Points.”

Next.

The contribution points on the panel quickly changed to one thousand five hundred.

Fu Changsheng suppressed the urge to immediately let the system infer techniques, surveyed the entire mineral vein, and discovered that the deposits were richer than expected. If fully mined and sold in his own family’s store without considering labor costs, it could fetch nearly ten thousand Spirit Stones.

Ten thousand Spirit Stones.

Enough to elevate the Spirit Vein of Luofeng Mountain to Tier Two.

For this.

The second condition to rise to a Ninth-Grade Noble Family was met.

But currently, the manpower at the fief is insufficient, and unless more miners are added, it might take ten years to complete the mining. Hence, he needs to transport clan members from Nanyang County and strive to complete the mining within three years, or else changes may occur.

After coming out from underground.

It turned out Brother Rong had already fallen into a deep sleep in Grandmaster Yu’s embrace.

On his forehead.

Was contained a terrifying energy, which, after continuous refining, automatically fell into Brother Rong’s Dantian, and Brother Rong’s cultivation aura was continuously rising.

Despite this.

Fu Changsheng still felt uneasy.

After all, he knew nothing about the creature parasitizing inside his son’s body.

Grandmaster Yu saw his worried expression and comforted:

”Rest assured, Brother Rong will be fine, but will have to sleep deeply for several years. By the time you return to the fief, just find a suitable excuse to cover it up.”

”Alright, then it will be up to Uncle Yu.”

Fu Changsheng flicked his sleeves, and the Flying Ship hovered in mid-air. After the two boarded the Flying Ship, Fu Changsheng tossed the unconscious Ping Yuntian onto the ship as well.

With Ping Yuntian dead.

The Ping Family will surely come to Wangniu Mountain.

Before settling the miners, Fu Changsheng considered that dealing with fewer things was better than more, and once back at the fief, he would first imprison Ping Yuntian in the dungeon.

Since the Flying Ship’s Invisibility Array was activated.

The return journey was peaceful.

Upon arriving at the Council Hall of the fief, Fu Changsheng called over Fu Yongyi:

”Yongyi, a Tier Two Yellow Sand Array has been set up around Wangniu Mountain’s mineral vein, and the Centipede Mother in the mineral vein’s insect tunnels has already been subdued by me. Temporarily treat it as the guardian spirit beast of the mining area. The mining of this vein is entirely up to you now. I hope you can use your talent to organize the work rationally and strive to complete the mining in the shortest possible time. Are you confident?”

Suddenly entrusted with such a significant task.

Fu Yongyi was stunned.

Initially happy.

Then he felt the patriarch’s trust.

The mining of this vein could produce tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, but the patriarch entrusted it entirely to him, showing the patriarch’s recognition of him.

Immediately, he rose and cupped his hands:

”Patriarch, rest assured. While ensuring the quality of the Profound Iron Stone mined, Yongyi will definitely mine the vein as quickly as possible!”

”Hmm.”

Fu Changsheng thought for a bit.

And summoned the Cloud Ring Purple Immortal Tower. He tapped the Treasure Pagoda, and from the second layer, the Spirit-devouring Insect emerged buzzing. Fu Changsheng whispered a few words and then said:

”During the mining period, let the Spirit-devouring Insect stay by your side.”

Even though the Centipede Mother guards it.

To be safe.

Fu Changsheng felt it was more prudent to let the Spirit-devouring Insect stay with Fu Yongyi. Yongyi’s cultivation talent is no less than Molan’s, so naturally, he wouldn’t let him fall into danger.

Entrusted with an important task.

Fu Yongyi was already extremely happy.

Unexpectedly.

The patriarch’s personal spirit pet was also bestowed upon him as a guardian, and he felt a warm current rising in his heart, something he never felt before as he grew up.

At the same time, he silently admonished himself.

In the future, he must become the patriarch’s right hand, not betraying the patriarch’s generous care!

Fu Changsheng advised a few more words.

As he left.

In his mind, the familiar mechanical sound appeared again:

”Ding!”

”You have received an affirmation from deep within Fu Yongyi’s heart, earning ten Clan Contribution Points.”

Next.

The contribution points on the panel quickly changed to one thousand five hundred ten.

This was an unexpected joy.

After handing over the Fire Storage Tree to Fairy Lady Cai and Gan Shenglin for planting, Fu Changsheng returned to the Secret Chamber at the peak’s Spiritual Spring Well and activated the array.

Quickly sorting through his upcoming goals.

The Ping Family will soon attack the Cloud Soaring Tribe.

In order to save Shi Shutong.

One’s strength needs to be as high as possible.

Therefore.

Before that.

He must first refine the two Fire-Storage Fruits.

Without hesitation, he said:

”Activate [Training Room]”

Buzz!

The panel trembled.

A large amount of golden light surged.

Next.

He felt his vision blur.

In an instant, he was in the system’s [Training Room], walked over to the mat, sat down, flicked his sleeves, and the white-bottomed leaf pattern box containing the Fire-Storage Fruits floated in front of him. He tapped the box, and the Fire-Storage Fruits dropped into his stomach instantly, and the enormous medicinal power surged like a rushing stream throughout his meridians.

Fu Changsheng urgently activated the [Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique] to slowly gather the uncontrollable medicinal power, wrapped it in True Essence, and gradually refined it.
