Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 323: Chapter 184: Marketplace Completed, Noble Families Alliance, Advancement to Tier Two High-Grade Talisman Maker (Part 3)

Fu Changsheng poured a cup of Black Spirit Tea and handed it to Fu Changren, took a sip, and said:

”Elder Brother, don’t belittle yourself. Now you are the Chief Steward of our Fu Family Territory, a prominent figure in the eyes of outsiders. The proposal from the Cui Family can be ignored.”

”Speaking of which, during my recent visit to the Flying Dragon Marketplace, Grand Elder Shi mentioned something to me. He has a legitimate granddaughter whose parents died early, and she has been raised by him since she was young. However, Grand Elder Shi is getting on in years, and his end is near. Over the years, he has been looking to find a grandson-in-law but has never found a suitable match. Upon learning that you are still unmarried, he suggested that you meet his granddaughter first. If the two of you find each other suitable, then we can discuss further.”

Grand Elder Shi’s legitimate granddaughter.

How could such a great opportunity fall upon him?

Fu Changren shook his head and said:

”Patriarch, there might be something fishy about this matter.”

Liuu Meizhen thought this could be a good marriage. Grand Elder Shi is a Tier Three Array Grandmaster, and his accumulations will likely be left to his granddaughter after his demise. If one can marry her, it would be like inheriting a huge wealth:

”Elder Brother, you shouldn’t think of refusing right away. Although the Shi Family and our Fu Family jointly constructed the marketplace, tying our interests together, their relationship with the Shangguan Family is different. If we can ally through marriage, it would be a great benefit to both Elder Brother and our family.”

Seeing Fu Changren was somewhat moved, Fu Changsheng quickly added:

”If that’s the case, Meizhen, you should help arrange this matter first. Try to find out about Grand Elder Shi’s granddaughter’s situation before proceeding.”

Elder Brother was one of the four sons of the Fu Family back then, having shared hardships together. If Grand Elder Shi’s granddaughter has issues, he would not sacrifice his elder brother’s happiness in later life.

Fu Changsheng gave a few more instructions.

After Fu Changren left.

Fu Changsheng tapped his storage bag, and with a flash of dawn light, several boxes floated towards Liuu Meizhen:

”Meizhen, send someone to the Wanning Commerce Association to inquire if they can refine a Tier Two High-Grade Soul-Storage Pill. If they can, use the VIP Token I gave you and have the Soul-Holding Grass in the box refined into a Soul-Storage Pill.”

Liuu Meizhen was momentarily surprised.

Because she hadn’t heard of the Soul-Storage Pill:

”Alright, leave it to me.”

Liuu Meizhen accepted the Soul-Holding Grass, while secretly resolving to rapidly improve her Alchemy Skill. She was an Alchemist herself, yet had to commission others for alchemy, which was somewhat uncomfortable.

Just as Fu Changsheng was about to go into seclusion to make talismans, Liuu Meizhen stopped him:

”Husband, now that Brother Fan and the others are grown, they don’t need the care of us two. Do you think it’s time to give them a younger brother or sister?”

Hearing this, Fu Changsheng smiled.

The two entwined for several days.

Only after Liuu Meizhen kept begging for mercy did they stop.

After entering the secret chamber and activating the array, it was announced that he went into seclusion.

At this moment.

An all-too-familiar mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

Fu Changsheng paused in surprise:

”Could it be that Meizhen is pregnant?”

The last time Meizhen was pregnant with triplets, the system awarded a considerable amount of Contribution Points.

Fu Changsheng showed a look of joy on his face.

But then in his mind, he heard:

”Ding.”

”You have built a marketplace for the family and have received seven hundred and sixty Contribution Points.”

Subsequently, the panel trembled.

He saw the clan Contribution Points rise from four hundred and seventy to one thousand two hundred and thirty:

”So it’s the Contribution Points from building the marketplace?”

He thought Meizhen was pregnant again.

Over the years.

Although Meizhen kept it from him, he knew she was trying to conceive again. But now it seems, perhaps due to having triplets, the heavens deemed it sufficient, leading to there being no more pregnancies despite being with Meizhen every time he came out of seclusion.

However.

The qualifications of his three children for cultivation are quite good now.

Fu Changsheng felt content.

Seeing the sufficient Contribution Points on the panel, he felt significantly relieved. He initially feared that he couldn’t advance to Tier Two High-Grade Talisman Maker before the World Suppression Bureau issued a Recruitment Order.

Now it seems.

With [Training Room]’s threefold acceleration time, there should be no problem.

He immediately willed:

”Activate [Training Room]”

Buzz!

The panel trembled.

A surge of yellow light came rushing in.

Then.

In a blink of an eye.

The next moment, he appeared in the Training Room, a familiar scent of sandalwood wafting in. Fu Changsheng sat on a meditation cushion, and his restless mood immediately calmed.

With a flip of his right hand.

He placed the ancient jade scroll on his forehead, beginning to comprehend the creation method of the Cyan Light Wall Talisman.

Perhaps due to breaking through the Seventh-Layer Foundation Establishment, his Divine Sense had greatly enhanced. At this time, even studying Tier Two High-Grade Talisman cultivation path was not too difficult, and it took only about three months to master, annotating his insights on the jade scroll.

He meditated in cultivation.

After exhaling a breath of turbid air.

He began writing talismans.

Bang!

As the first talisman was being drawn, the mana under the Talisman Brush went out of control, exploding immediately.

This Tier Two High-Grade Talisman contained more energy than a Tier Two Middle-Grade Talisman, more than he imagined. Normally, when activating a talisman, he might not feel it, but when wielding the brush personally to refine, he could genuinely sense it.

In the following attempts.

Although he had prepared, the lack of proficiency meant that even knowing where the problem lay, he repeatedly failed.

Inside the Training Room.

Bang bang bang!

The explosive sounds echoed continuously.

Fortunately.

While making talismans in the Training Room, mental fatigue never occurred, and mana showed no signs of depletion, allowing him to retry almost immediately after each failure.

In this manner, one after another.

He finally caught a glimpse of insight, becoming more proficient with his strokes.

Thus, another half a year passed.

The explosions gradually reduced.

By the third year, Fu Changsheng finally saw the last stroke of the Talisman Brush land on the talisman, which flashed with a cyan light, then buzzed as all the spirit light gathered inside.

At last, a complete Tier Two High-Grade Cyan Light Wall Talisman was successfully made.

Fu Changsheng showed a hint of joy on his face.

Over the past two years, he had worked tirelessly day and night, finally achieving success with this talisman.

In this way.

He was officially advanced to a Tier Two High-Grade Talisman Maker:

”Strike while the iron is hot!”

Fu Changsheng immediately set aside the talisman and continued the talisman-making process.

Luckily, after slaying two Tier Two Late Stage Flying Dragon Beasts, there was enough talisman blood.
