Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 343: Chapter 191: Seizing First Place, Massive Rewards (Part 2)

The four major families stepped forward.

When they saw a table filled with Demon Crystals and Demon Pearls.

They looked at Fu Changsheng in astonishment.

At this moment.

They only had one thought.

That these Soul Pearls must have been picked up by the Fu Family and others inside; otherwise, how could they, with the strength of merely three, have slain more than forty Tier Two Demon Generals, equivalent to over twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators.

However.

Those counting the items continued to take out Demon Pearls.

Forty-three

Forty-eight

Fifty.

Fifty-six.

At this point.

The Fu Family had surpassed the Nangong Family, which had submitted the most among the Eighth-Grade Noble Families, by three Demon Pearls.

The people from the Ninth-Grade Noble Families were already numbed with shock.

In contrast, the four Eighth-Grade Noble Families now looked at Fu Changsheng with a gaze containing hints of scrutiny and scheming.

The person counting finally announced:

”Thirty pieces of Tier One Special-grade Demon Crystals, sixty pieces of Tier One High-Grade Demon Crystals, a hundred pieces of Tier One Medium-Grade Demon Crystals..... a hundred Tier Two Low-Grade Demon Pearls, thirty Tier Two Medium-Grade Demon Pearls.....”

”The Fu Family has obtained a total of 3,696 Court Merit Points!”

As soon as these words were spoken.

The crowd erupted immediately.

The Liang Family, which thought it was the champion, had just over three hundred Court Merit Points, not even close to the Fu Family’s fraction.

Among the Eighth-Grade Noble Families.

The Nangong Family, which had obtained the most Soul Crystals and Soul Pearls, had only garnered six hundred Court Merit Points, equivalent to just a fraction of the Fu Family’s.

The Fu Family this time secured more Court Merit Points than all the Eighth-Grade and Ninth-Grade Noble Families combined!

After recovering from shock, those counting were elated, even their expressions became much softer and more kindly:

”Fu Clan Leader, according to Court regulations, the Demon Pearls and Demon Crystals need to be turned over, but besides rewarding you with Merit Points, you will also be compensated for the price difference, so the Fu Family will receive a total of 13,678 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, rounding it up to 13,700, I will cover the shortfall.”

The people from the World Suppression Bureau could contribute so many Demon Pearls to the Court, which is indeed meritorious, otherwise, how could they take Spirit Stones out of their own pocket:

”Kindly have the Fu Clan Leader bring up your Identity Token.”

The Noble Family Jade Seal is generally used to safeguard the clan’s territory.

The Clan Leader’s Identity Token can also be used to record Court Merit Points.

Fu Changsheng handed over the token:

”Much appreciated.”

After he stepped back.

Yu Qingru also submitted some Demon Crystals, making their Yu Family’s Court Merit Points reach just exactly one hundred.

At this moment, Cao Xiang’er lightly coughed:

”Since everyone is here, I will announce an important matter.”

Upon hearing this, everyone.

Quickly withdrew their envious gazes towards Fu Changsheng.

Present here.

Nine out of ten had already guessed it was about the allocation of Canglan Secret Realm slots, except for the Lin Family, who were still in the dark, and Cui Clan Leader, seeing Lin Tianfu looking over, immediately avoided eye contact with a tinge of guilt.

Lin Tianfu, seeing this, felt a vague sense of unease.

Cao Xiang’er glanced around at everyone, and declared loudly:

”This time the Demon Realm barrier has been reinforced and sealed, giving everyone credit present here. However, this year the Canglan Secret Realm is different from previous years because the dynasty is vigorously supporting the establishment of new Cultivation Families in various places. Therefore, the slots allocated to our South Huai Prefecture have been greatly reduced compared to previous years; the slots for the Eighth-Grade Noble Families remain unchanged, but for the Ninth-Grade Noble Families, it will be determined based on this time’s performance in the Demon Realm.”

”The specific allocation of slots was decided before you entered the Demon Realm, and it has been stamped and approved by your superior Noble Families above.”

Before her words were finished.

Lin Tianfu and his wife seemed as if they had been struck by lightning on the spot, frozen in place.

Murmuring under their breath:

”How can this be, how can this be?!”

If the slots were really allocated based on the Merit Points obtained this time.

Then their Lin Family, having not a single Merit Point, would surely miss out on the Canglan Secret Realm, where it is said there are many Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects, a great opportunity for family prosperity.

This.....

This time they have indeed picked sesame seeds but lost watermelons!

Had they known it would turn out like this.

They should have teamed up with the Fu Family from the start.

To sell the few Soul Pearls they had to the Cui Family was a thousand mistakes, especially when the Cui Family, appearing honest usually, would turn out to be so ruthless when scheming against others.

On the other side.

After Cao Xiang’er finished speaking, she gave a signal to the maid beside her.

The maid immediately stepped forward half a step, holding a scroll in both hands, and then slowly unfurled it.

Everyone’s eyes instantly focused intently on the scroll:

”Slot allocation is based on the Court Merit Points exchanged in the Demon Realm”

”Second place gets five slots, third place three, fourth place two, fifth to seventh place one each, with the requirement that the total Merit Points of a family must meet or exceed fifty, otherwise the slots cannot be temporarily allocated.”

The second place is the Liang Family, the third is the Cui Family, the fourth is the Qii Family and the Hongg Family, both with exactly the same Merit Points, as if they had planned it, the fifth is the Hee Family, the sixth is the Cao Family; with Ping Xinghai perishing in the Demon Realm, the Lin Family automatically ascends to the seventh, but since they have no Merit Points, naturally, their slot for entering the Canglan Secret Realm is stripped away as well.

Upon seeing the list, Lin Tianfu felt a surge of anger and bitterness rise, a metallic taste filling his throat.

He let out a cold snort.

Immediately leaving with the Ghost Immortal Lady in tow.

On the other side.

Everyone looked at length but did not see slots allocated for the champion; Liang Clan Leader, after seeing the gap in Merit Points between them and the Fu Family, now found his previous sense of imbalance gone, for they had secured second place thanks to the Fu Family, and the five slots were deemed satisfactory, yet he couldn’t help but be curious about how many slots the Fu Family secured:
