Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 350: Chapter 193: Taking Stock of the Spoils, Expanding the Family Business, News of My Parents (Part 3)

If we want the Liang Family to hand over what they have, it won’t be easy. At least one Foundation Establishment cultivator needs to go to assert dominance.

Fu Molan and Liuu Meizhen exchanged glances.

Liuu Meizhen quickly said:

”Molan manages the War Hall, and its disciples often venture in and out of the Ten Thousand Mountains. Why not let Molan guard the Flying Dragon Marketplace? That way, she can provide guidance and respond to any sudden issues with the War Hall nearby. As for the shop in Wanning Marketplace, I plan to take it from the Liang Family, then directly use it for selling Spirit Pills. Currently, we have over twenty alchemists in our clan. The Spirit Pills produced by the Alchemy Hall, aside from being provided to our Fu Family disciples, still have a large surplus. Like how we made a name for our Brewery, I want to make our Fu Family’s Spirit Pills another brand at Wanning Marketplace.”

Liuu Meizhen has already advanced to a Tier Two Middle-Grade Alchemist.

But there are too few Tier Two Pill Recipes in the clan.

She also wants to use this opportunity to offer single batches externally, thus acquiring more High-Tier Pill Recipes for the clan, to rapidly improve her Alchemy skills.

Fu Molan said:

”Patriarch, I have no objections.”

”In that case, proceed as you suggested, Meizhen. However, the Liang Family is a tough nut to crack. Figuring out how to get that shop from them is up to you, Meizhen.”

”Husband, rest assured.”

Liuu Meizhen was full of confidence.

After assigning the miscellaneous affairs...

Fu Changsheng and Ouyang Fei returned to the fief.

Upon reaching the fief...

They saw Brother Rong had moved a recliner right to the door of his Secret Chamber and was sound asleep.

Fu Changsheng shook his head in resignation.

Among the triplets,

The eldest, Brother Fan, currently manages the fief’s miscellaneous affairs and does it methodically. Yaoyao spends her days either cultivating or learning the Path of Array with Grandmaster Yu. Meanwhile, Brother Rong, just like when he was a child, never stands if he can lie down, spending more than half his time asleep.

Hearing footsteps,

Brother Rong, who seemed asleep, suddenly opened his eyes. Seeing Fu Changsheng, his eyes lit up: ”Father, are we going to the Ten Thousand Mountains?”

Upon hearing this,

Fu Changsheng looked a bit embarrassed.

When he brought Brother Rong from the clan, he promised him a hunting trip to the Ten Thousand Mountains. However, over the years, they’ve only visited Wangniu Mountain across Hanling River, allowing Brother Rong to feed on some beetles. He didn’t know if Brother Rong’s sleepiness was due to insufficient feeding.

Thinking about the upcoming seclusion...

This seclusion would last at least two or three years.

Opening his mouth,

He was about to promise to take Brother Rong to the mountains next time when...

Ouyang Fei, standing behind Fu Changsheng, stepped forward and appraised Brother Rong from top to bottom, then chuckled:

”My good grandson, it’s not easy to go to the Ten Thousand Mountains. Just call me Grandpa Fei, and once your father and I finish our business, I’ll take you to the mountains right away.”

”Really?”

”A man’s word is his bond. Naturally, I mean what I say.”

”Grandpa Fei!”

Brother Rong was still as concise as when he was a child, and as he grew excited, the mark on his forehead flickered.

Fu Changsheng didn’t refuse.

Ouyang Fei was a Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator. With him watching over Brother Rong, there was no cause for worry.

Entering the Secret Chamber,

After activating the Array,

They saw Liuu Meizhen’s silhouette outside the chamber. She gazed deeply at the chamber, pondering something, then advised Brother Rong:

”Brother Rong, since Grandpa Fei is willing to take you hunting, treat him as your own family, and don’t harbor any disrespect. Remember this well.”

Brother Rong blinked.

Finally, he nodded.

....

Inside the Secret Chamber,

After verifying that the Array was in order, Fu Changsheng spoke:

”Uncle Fei, please tell me everything you know about my mother.”

Ouyang Fei sat on a Grandmaster’s Chair nearby, sipped the Black Spirit Tea Fu Changsheng handed him, and seemed lost in thought:

”I clearly remember it was the seventh year that the Poison Madman used me as a medicine tester. At that time, my body was wrecked beyond recognition by countless toxins, and I was on the verge of death. The Poison Madman intended to turn me into a Human Poison Gu, but one night...”

In a half-dream, half-awake state,

I saw someone standing beside me.

In a blur,

I heard a few sentences:

”Lotus mark, Fu Changsheng of Luofeng Mountain is my son. The other sentence was... what was it again? I remember it was a place name. Your mother instructed me to tell you that if you ever achieve the Great Path, go to that place to find her.”

Ouyang Fei scratched his head in frustration.

That place seemed to have been wiped from his memory suddenly.

At that moment,

He couldn’t recall it at all.

After listening, Fu Changsheng frowned slightly:

”Uncle Fei, from what you said, you didn’t meet my mother in person, but it was a message in a dream?”

”Yes, that seems likely. But although it was a dream, the treasure your mother bestowed upon me is certainly real. Thus, I can’t tell if it was an Illusion Realm, a dream, or her real presence. But I distinctly remember seeing only your mother there; I didn’t see your father.”

Fu Changsheng sighed internally.

His father disappeared while searching for his mother.

Since Ouyang Fei only saw his mother, perhaps his father still hasn’t found where she is:

”Uncle Fei, if you can’t recall now, there’s always the future. There’s plenty of time.”

He currently only has Foundation Establishment cultivation.

He’s only ever been to Wanning Marketplace and hasn’t even been to Jingzhou City. Everything is still too early to say.

Ouyang Fei felt a bit frustrated:

”Alright, once I remember, I’ll tell you immediately.”

And with that,

He left the Secret Chamber and immediately took Brother Rong to the Ten Thousand Mountains.

After calming himself a bit,

Fu Changsheng then patted his storage bag.

The two boxes he obtained from the Mighty General’s ruins flashed out. Returning from the Demon Realm, events happened one after another, and he hadn’t had the chance to examine them.
