Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 396: Chapter 209: Martial Arts Hall, Marriage Matters, and Bestowing Treasures

”Ding”

”Your clansman successfully found a Spirit Stone Vein in the fief, earning eight hundred and eighty Contribution Points.”

The panel trembled slightly.

Soon after.

The Clan Contribution Points changed from four thousand one hundred and twenty to five thousand.

Fu Changsheng felt a surge of joy in his heart.

Everyone began discussing how to develop the Spirit Stone Vein. The clan had previous experiences, but given this was a Spirit Stone Vein, there needed to be more considerations.

The choice of who would mine was particularly important.

Brother Fan presented a long list to Fu Changsheng:

”Father, after Brother Yongyi discovered the Spirit Stone Vein, I contacted the Hall Master of the Martial Arts Hall to provide a list of Fu Family members whose backgrounds are clear and known. These people can be called upon at any time to start mining at Liangyun Mountain.”

Shortly after Fu Changsheng assumed the position of Patriarch, he established the Martial Arts Hall among the secular mortals, specifically to cultivate clansmen who have no Spiritual Root but possess martial talent.

Almost thirty years have passed.

Currently, the Martial Arts Hall has nearly ten thousand Innate Experts.

Fu Changsheng glanced at the list and nodded slightly.

The manpower was ready.

However, the specialized tools for mining the Spirit Stone Vein could not be ordinary mortal iron.

Fu Changsheng looked at Runzhi, seated in the shadow on the lower right:

”Runzhi, I’m afraid we still need your Artifact Refining Hall to craft a batch of tools.”

”Yes, Patriarch,”

Runzhi replied quietly.

It seemed as if she felt weak all over, having lost her essence, energy, and spirit due to her failure to establish a Foundation, looking completely different from her usual spirited self.

After all.

Judging from the development of talent in the Fu family,

For her, having failed once to establish a Foundation, acquiring another Foundation Establishment Pill was undoubtedly a fantasy, and earning one on her own was out of the question.

Fu Changsheng saw this, and continued:

”Yongyi will have full responsibility over the mining of the Spirit Stone Vein. Also, when the time comes, we will need a Foundation Establishment cultivator to oversee the mining area, in....”

Before he finished speaking.

He was interrupted by Ouyang Fei, who had been yawning continuously, raising his hand:

”Let it be me. Brother Rong is in seclusion and won’t come out. I don’t want to enter the mountains alone. I will guard the mining area and use this time to ponder a newly acquired Secret Technique.”

On a normal day,

Ouyang Fei naturally wouldn’t want to go.

But since last time, in the Canglan Secret Realm, Ouyang Fei felt he wasted the opportunity to enter the realm without contributing anything, feeling uncomfortable about it, which made him volunteer.

If not.

Given his usual idle nature, why would he be willing to go to such a dull place as the mining area?

”Then I’ll trouble you, Uncle Fei.”

Fu Changsheng then turned to Grandmaster Yu: ”Uncle Yu, later I’ll need you to head over to Liangyun Mountain. Since this place is close to the Liang family’s fief, we’ll need to set up an Array to conceal the operations.”

”Hmm, that’s simple. Just move the Array from the Hanling River mining area over there,”

Grandmaster Yu replied calmly.

Yaoyao looked at him expectantly.

Grandmaster Yu responded with a doting smile:

”Yaoyao can come with me.”

Yaoyao instantly smiled with curved eyebrows.

The group then discussed the next steps for constructing a city.

The most important matter was the location selection.

There was a disagreement among them.

In the end, it was decided that Grandmaster Yu would personally inspect the terrain before making a decision. Fu Changsheng instructed Brother Fan:

”Taking advantage that the beast tide has not yet arrived, Brother Fan, you should contact the shopkeepers of the family stores in Nanyang Marketplace, Wanning Marketplace, and Flying Dragon Marketplace, and have them procure as many spiritual materials as possible for city construction. Otherwise, when the other noble families begin to move, the prices of these spiritual materials might surge several times over.”

”Yes, Father.”

Brother Fan responded.

At this point, Fu Molan from the left side spoke up:

”Patriarch, it seems the War Hall needs someone to manage it on my behalf for a while. I’m planning to go into seclusion to craft Tier Two Puppets, striving to add a Tier Two strength to the clan before the beast tide arrives.”

This was a good thing.

Fu Changsheng naturally wouldn’t object.

Fu Changli volunteered, saying:

”Patriarch, in that case, let me lead the disciples of the War Hall into the Ten Thousand Mountains. It’s just the right opportunity for me to hone my Beast Taming Technique, and maybe I can bring back a batch of Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts.”

Yuwen Wei from the Weaving Hall saw everyone preparing for the beast tide.

After some thought,

also spoke up:

”Patriarch, I’ll go back and research the structure of Magic Robes, to see how we might mass-produce Protective Dharma Robes. Even if our clan doesn’t need all of them, they can be sold during wartime.”

Everyone was racking their brains to contribute their share of strength for the impending beast tide.

After the meeting ended.

Fu Changsheng patted the storage bag and handed the Tier Two Middle-Grade Cloud Rain Tree acquired from the Canglan Secret Realm to Fairy Lady Cai and her husband.

After everyone had left.

Only Fu Changsheng and Liuu Meizhen remained in the council hall.

Liuu Meizhen furrowed her brows and said:

”Husband, you previously suggested gifting Runzhi another Foundation Establishment Pill. Judging from Runzhi’s current state, it seems she might not be suitable to attempt Foundation Establishment again anytime soon.”

Fu Changsheng sighed softly.

Having failed to reach Foundation Establishment.

He could understand Runzhi’s discouragement:

”Meizhen, perhaps you can find some time to talk with her, gently remind her that the clan will find a way to procure another Foundation Establishment Pill for her. With some motivation, she might adjust her mindset more quickly.”

”Okay,”

Liuu Meizhen acknowledged.

Seeming to remember something,

she raised her hand with a slight headache:

”Husband, are you aware that Brother Fan already has someone he’s interested in?”

Thinking about it,

Brother Fan was already in his early twenties.

At his age, he was already a father, chuckling as he said:
