Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 285: Chapter 172: Noble Family Fortune Blessing, Joyous Events One After Another, Massive Rewards

”Then, there are two newly promoted Ninth-Grade Noble Families within your territory.”

Fu Changsheng heard this and understood.

Lin Tianfu and his wife were from the Shangguan Family, and so was the Fu Family.

Compared to the promotion to the Ninth Grade, the conditions to become an Eighth-Grade are evidently much harsher; the Shangguan Family took several generations of efforts to finally take this step.

Fu Changsheng said:

”Miss Hongyu, since it’s so difficult to promote to the Eighth-Grade Noble Family, the benefits after promotion must be many.”

”I don’t know about the others, but I’ve heard that the secret of the Purple Mansion is known only to Eighth-Grade Noble Families.”

Shangguan Hongyu said a few more words.

Fu Changsheng nodded repeatedly, no wonder Shangguan Feng had been at the Foundation Establishment Peak for many years without any news of a breakthrough to the Purple Mansion.

There are three checkpoints to break through Foundation Establishment.

Is breaking through to the Purple Mansion the same?

Fu Changsheng was curious because he was already at the Sixth-Layer Foundation Establishment. Although there was still some distance to breaking through to the Purple Mansion, preparations had to be made in advance.

The two exchanged some cultivation insights and experiences.

The next day.

Fu Changsheng arrived at the World Suppression Bureau as soon as it opened.

Since it wasn’t his first time here, numerous procedures were skipped, and he smoothly arrived at the personnel hall inside, where he saw Cao Xiang’er presiding, whom he had met once before in his territory.

Fu Changsheng cupped his hands and said:

”Greetings, Master Cao.”

Cao Xiang’er nodded slightly, pointed to a seat beside him, inviting him to sit, and without further ado, she said:

”Months ago, our World Suppression Bureau has verified your Fu Family Territory’s conditions, whether it was the Spirit Vein, population, Foundation Establishment cultivators, or Merit Points, all have met the standards for promotion to a Ninth-Grade Noble Family. The land deed for your Fu Family’s Yunshan County territory is also prepared. Adding the thirty thousand deposit you previously submitted, you just need to pay an additional twenty thousand Spirit Stones.”

Fu Changsheng heard this, offered the prepared additional twenty thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, and secretly handed Cao Xiang’er a small Hundred Treasures Pouch.

Cao Xiang’er accepted it silently.

Finally, she said:

”Clan Leader Fu, please bring out your Noble Family Jade Seal.”

With a thought, Fu Changsheng summoned the Noble Family Jade Seal he had been nurturing in his Dantian, and it immediately floated out.

Cao Xiang’er’s face turned solemn, bowing in the direction of the Court and Royal Capital. Two maids behind her respectfully brought out a tray covered with a red cloth.

The red cloth was lifted.

An aura of imperial majesty emanated from within.

Cao Xiang’er used her right hand to form a strange sign, a Hall Master Jade Talisman emerged from her body, she infused several Daoist Techniques into the Jade Talisman.

Instantly.

A dragon’s roar sounded from the Jade Seal in the tray.

Next.

Mystical runes burst forth from the Jade Seal, a total of twelve, all twelve Jade Talismans trembled slightly in the air, and with a swift gesture from Cao Xiang’er’s sword finger, they whistled towards Fu Changsheng’s Noble Family Jade Seal above his head.

Buzz!

The color of fortune contained within the Noble Family Jade Seal changed significantly, completely turning ”crimson,” and the fortune became visibly stronger.

At the same time.

A mysterious aura fell upon him.

Vaguely.

He felt the blessing of a fortune force, more distinctly than ever before.

Boom!

As Cao Xiang’er concluded her Daoist Techniques.

All anomalies disappeared.

Cao Xiang’er’s face paled slightly, and after dismissing the maids, she solemnly stated:

”Clan Leader Fu, from this moment forward, your Fu Family is officially entered into the Great Zhou Jade Scroll, becoming a formal Ninth-Grade Noble Family, your Yunshan County territory can be inherited for generations. Of course, with the premise that you do not betray the clan and annually submit the tributes.”

Hereditary territory.

In other words.

All the hard work of their generation would benefit their descendants for generations.

Fu Changsheng slightly let out a breath.

After taking his seat.

Cao Xiang’er drank a cup of Black Spirit Tea brought by a maid, causing her Qi and Blood to recover considerably, then she detailed the related Ninth-Grade benefits and obligations one by one.

Finally, she said:

”Of course.”

”Whether it’s the five shop fronts in the Ten Thousand Years Marketplace, the income distribution from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, or the allocation of slots for the soon-to-open Canglan Secret Realm, these all require redistribution,”

”The first two will be decided among the Ten Great Families together.”

”But when it comes to Yellow Tier resources, our World Suppression Bureau will host and mediate for you. For instance, the allocation of slots for the Canglan Secret Realm about to open.”

”Furthermore.”

”Although we drove the Demon Race back and sealed them with a barrier in the Demon Cave during the last battle, the guards at the Demon Cave have reported more frequent anomalies from the barrier year by year, leading us to assign specialists to investigate. If our estimates are correct, once the Canglan Secret Realm opens, it could lead to another battle between humans and demons; your Fu Family should prepare early.”

”Thank you, Master Cao, for the reminder.”

Fu Changsheng asked a few additional questions about his confusions.

Finally.

He inquired about the conditions for promotion to the Eighth-Grade.

Cao Xiang’er’s answer was exactly the same as Shangguan Hongyu’s; seeing Cao Xiang’er’s look of fatigue, he cupped his hands in farewell.

After he left.

The assistant beside Cao Xiang’er whispered:

”Ma’am, when we met this Clan Leader Fu a few years ago, he was only in the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, and now he is just a step away from the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment. It seems there’s a good chance for South Huai Prefecture to produce another Eighth-Grade Noble Family. Do you think we should lean our resources towards the Fu Family to curry favor with Fu Changsheng?”

Cao Xiang’er pondered for a while.

In the end, she shook her head:

”There are many prodigies in the cultivation realm, but few grow to maturity, let’s observe for a little longer first.”
