Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 409: Chapter 213: Heavenly Omens, Booming Business, Auction Quota (Part 2)

They have to set off tomorrow. Otherwise, if they go too late, they might not even secure a spot to enter the auction hall. Fu Changsheng said, ”Tell me what you wish to bid on.”

Yu Qingru was waiting for these words.

She took out a Hundred Treasures Pouch from under her pillow and handed it to Fu Changsheng:

”Patriarch, our Yu Family needs to advance to Ninth Grade within ten years. Currently, apart from me, we lack one more Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Please assist us in bidding for a Foundation Establishment Pill at the auction.”

It’s said that there are dozens of Foundation Establishment Pills at this auction.

But there are too many people coming.

The price is likely to be higher than ever before.

Fu Changsheng accepted the Hundred Treasures Pouch, nodding slightly:

”Alright, I will ensure you get the Foundation Establishment Pill. You should focus on recuperating.”

For the Yu Family to advance to Ninth Grade.

It would fulfill half of the condition for their Fu Family to advance to Eighth Grade, so Fu Changsheng could not refuse either publicly or privately.

He spent some time with the child and Qingru.

Yu Qingru, already lacking energy, said, ”Patriarch, you should return. You have to depart early tomorrow.”

Returning from the Yu Family’s fief to his clan.

Fu Changsheng thought Meizhen would come to hold him accountable, but the next day, when they were departing for the Wanning Marketplace, Meizhen showed no sign of knowing he had gone to the Yu Family; she didn’t mention it at all,

Fu Changsheng felt touched, but also vaguely guilty.

Thus he proactively said:

”Meizhen, if you have anything you want to bid on or purchase, make a list for me.”

Liuu Meizhen smiled and shook her head.

The more she was like this, the more Fu Changsheng felt indebted to her.

Accompanying them to the Wanning Marketplace were Liuu Qingmin and Wu Clan Leader. Wu Clan Leader’s pair of Immortal Cranes were left at the Fu Family, so the two rode on Fu Changsheng’s Cyan Python.

Upon reaching the entrance of the marketplace,

They saw a long line already formed outside the gate.

The three of them descended from the Cyan Python, and seeing the bustling crowd, Wu Clan Leader immediately flattered, ”Fu Clan Leader, please rest aside, I’ll stand in line, and you can come over when it’s our turn.”

”No need, follow me.”

Fu Changsheng bypassed the long queue.

Going to the small gate on the west side.

Unlike the noisy main entrance, it was very quiet here. The gate was guarded by members of the Cui Clan. Upon seeing Fu Changsheng, they quickly saluted:

”Greetings, Fu Clan Leader.”

After Fu Changsheng showed his Token and passed through the Spirit Mirror, the city gate was promptly opened.

Wu Clan Leader and Liuu Qingmin exchanged glances.

Indeed.

The treatment is different upon becoming a Noble Family.

Upon entering the marketplace.

The noise enveloped them.

They saw the marketplace crowded with people, and among them were cultivators from the North Huai Prefecture. The whole Wanning Marketplace was experiencing its biggest event in a century; cultivators wearing the World Suppression Bureau uniforms were patrolling in teams.

Wu Clan Leader and Liuu Qingmin closely followed behind Fu Changsheng without any intention of wandering off. Fu Changsheng noticed this and planned to settle them in at an inn, but upon inquiry, it turned out the inn was fully booked. Fu Changsheng frowned:

”In that case, you can stay in the backyard of our Fu Family shop for a few days.”

Wu Clan Leader and Liuu Qingmin were deeply moved.

Otherwise.

They would have to wait outside until the auction started.

But the outside marketplace was a mix of rogues and nobles; they carried the wealth accumulated over decades for their clan on them and dared not linger outside for fear of having their storage bags snatched by powerful individuals.

Upon reaching the Fu Family’s Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion.

They found it crowded with layers of people, and business was booming.

At the entrance,

There hung a conspicuous banner:

”Centennial Event, All Spirit Pills at 12% Discount”

The Fu Family’s pills have always been marked with a clear price, and this discount was a genuine offer, not a price hike followed by a discount.

As a result,

Old customers flocked in.

With more people, new customers, especially those from North Huai Prefecture visiting for the first time, joined in out of curiosity. Seeing the genuine discount, they made purchases without hesitation.

The business was the best on the entire street.

Pills were almost instantly sold out upon shelving.

Wu Clan Leader watched this scene, envious, whispering to Liuu Qingmin, ”Brother Liuu, your relative must be rolling in wealth by now.”

With such customer flow,

They must have made a fortune.

Liuu Qingmin also felt envious, sighing with emotion:

”Back then, for Meizhen to marry Changsheng, she turned against the Liuu Clan; in retrospect, this was an extremely wise decision.”

If Meizhen were not around.

The Liuu Family would have long been washed away like the Zhang and Li families in the tide of history.

Fu Changsheng led them through the back door into the courtyard:

”Stay here for now. I’m going to Wanning Commerce Association to inquire about the auction.”

”We are grateful, Fu Clan Leader.”

Wu Clan Leader bowed.

They didn’t dare to explore outside either; the chaos risked conflicts and scuffles.

Fu Changsheng left Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion heading for Wanning Commerce Association. Though they arrived three days early, this year’s auction seemed more explosive than he had anticipated.

Upon reaching Wanning Commerce Association.

The place was also crowded. After Fu Changsheng showed his VIP Token, the shopkeeper led him to the second floor, where Elder Qin personally received him.

Fu Changsheng folded his hands in greeting:

”Elder Qin, it’s been a long time.”

Last time.

Fu Changsheng came to commission the Wanning Commerce Association for alchemy.

Elder Qin smiled, stroking his beard. His Divine Sense probed Fu Changsheng, but suddenly he was shocked, somewhat incredulous: ”Fu Clan Leader, have you broken through to the Eighth-Layer Foundation Establishment?”
