Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 698: Chapter 291: Netherworld Emerges, First-Transformation Wine Gu, Yet Another Spirit Technique Acquired

Yu Qingru’s technique changed in her hand, and the surrounding vines rapidly grew, winding towards the Thorny Fox.

The Thorny Fox struggled within the vines.

Fu Changsheng seized the opportunity to gather spiritual power, transforming it into a Spiritual Power Spear, which he thrust toward the Thorny Fox. The spear precisely pierced through the Thorny Fox’s body, causing it to let out a wretched scream as it fell to the ground.

”Fortunately, this was just a Tier Two Late Stage Demon Beast. If we encountered something stronger, it wouldn’t be this easy to handle.” Yu Qingru sighed with relief.

Fu Changsheng’s expression remained unchanged.

For someone who has broken through to Half-Step Purple Mansion like him, a Tier Two Demon Beast was nothing to fear.

Without delay, he skillfully extracted the pill and skinned it.

”Hiss hiss~”

The Cyan Flood Dragon, shrunken to three inches, darted out from his sleeve, eyeing the Thorny Rabbit reduced to mere bones with great greed.

Fu Changsheng shook his head with a smile.

This Xiaoqing, even after breaking through to Tier Three and transforming into a flood dragon, still couldn’t change its gluttonous habits.

With a flick of his index finger.

The Thorny Rabbit’s carcass instantly turned into a streak of dawn light, flying towards the Cyan Flood Dragon, which let out a cheerful cry and swallowed it with its long mouth. Its belly wriggled a few times, and the carcass of a Tier Two Late Stage Thorny Rabbit was digested into demon power within it.

Meanwhile,

a line of text appeared in Fu Changsheng’s sea of divine sense:

[Cyan Flood Dragon: Tier Three Early Stage (10/1000)]

”Oh?”

Fu Changsheng was momentarily stunned.

Because previously, the system didn’t display the progress bar for the Spirit Pet’s cultivation: ”It seems that only upon advancing to Tier Three does it get recorded by the system.”

As soon as the thought occurred.

At the same time,

a familiar mechanical voice echoed in his mind:

”Ding”

”You have obtained a Tier Two Late Stage Demon Beast demon pill and its materials for the clan, earning ninety-nine Contribution Points.”

The clan Contribution Points on the panel instantly changed to one thousand sixty-nine.

Retrieving his thoughts from the system, Fu Changsheng noticed Qingru and Yaoyao gazing eagerly at the Cyan Flood Dragon wrapped around his sleeve, sensing the overwhelming pressure from Xiaoqing. Both were shocked, almost speaking in unison:

”Changsheng/Father, did Xiaoqing break through to Tier Three?”

”Hmm.”

Fu Changsheng slightly nodded.

Hearing this, Yaoyao was overjoyed:

”Father, this is such great news, we should celebrate with a few banquets. Xiaoqing reaching Tier Three is akin to the Purple Mansion Great Cultivator, the first in the South Huai Prefecture’s noble families. Father, you’re too low-key.”

But Fu Changsheng shook his head:

”There’s always someone better, and beyond the sky, there’s always a bigger sky.

Not to mention the Gongsun, Shangguan, and Shi families are all long-established noble families with centuries of heritage. It’s likely they also harbor Tier Three Purple Mansion strength, just that they choose not to show it.”

This was also the reason Fu Changsheng wasn’t boastful.

If it weren’t for entering the Blood-colored Forbidden Area, he wouldn’t easily allow Xiaoqing to be seen.

Never boastful or impetuous!

Yu Qingru looked at Fu Changsheng with admiration.

She felt even more fortunate for her initial choice; her husband was not only highly skilled but also very steady. With the Cyan Flood Dragon’s assistance, her husband’s breakthrough to the Purple Mansion in the future wouldn’t be a problem, and the Fu Family’s rise to Seventh-Grade was in sight!

As water rises, the boat rises.

In the future, their Yu Family could also leap into ranking among the Eighth-Grade Noble Families.

The three continued forward. The further they went into the depths of the Blood-colored Forbidden Area, the more dangerous it became. They had to deal not only with attacks from various demon beasts but also be cautious of potential traps around.

Suddenly, the ground beneath Yaoyao’s feet softened, and she began to sink. Yu Qingru quickly threw out a vine, entangling Yaoyao’s arm, and Fu Changsheng hurried over to help, pulling Yaoyao out of the trap.

”Thank you, Father.” Yaoyao said, still scared.

”This Blood-colored Forbidden Area is indeed full of hidden dangers. We must be more careful.” Fu Changsheng said with a grave expression.

At that moment, an intense fighting sound came from not far away.

The trio swept their divine senses.

They saw a group of Eastern Wilderness Tribe cultivators besieging a massive blood-red scorpion, which exuded a powerful aura, clearly not an ordinary demon beast.

”It’s a Blood Scorpion, a Tier Three Demon Beast; these people probably aren’t its match.” Yu Qingru said softly.

Despite their numbers, those cultivators appeared somewhat embarrassed against the Blood Scorpion’s attack. With one sweep of the scorpion’s tail, several cultivators were sent flying, landing heavily on the ground.

”Let’s go.”

Fu Changsheng had no intention of staying, quickly leaving the area.

His target was the Star Stone in Gongsun Yi’s hand.

By now, the sun was already setting.

Yu Qingru showed a trace of urgency on her face:

”Changsheng, we must find a temple with a divine statue before dark.”

One cannot wander in the Blood-colored Forbidden Area at night.

And must seek shelter in a temple with a divine statue; otherwise, there would be no remains.

This is a lesson learned through a thousand years.

Fu Changsheng scanned the surroundings with his divine sense but didn’t see any signs of architecture, let alone a dilapidated temple. Immediately, he focused his mind on the panel:

”Exchange information.”

Buzz!

The panel trembled.

Large amounts of yellow light surged.

Then lines of text appeared:

[1: Gongsun Yi is trapped on an island in a lake within the Blood-colored Forbidden Area, and after Gongsun Clan’s people saw he hadn’t returned for a long time, the new Clan Leader Gongsun Wen had Gongsun Qing bring the clan’s Scent Spirit Dog into the Blood-colored Forbidden Area to search for Gongsun Yi’s whereabouts three months ago.]

[2: To your southwest, across a Yellow River, stands a ruined temple already occupied by the Eastern Wilderness Tribe.]

[3: Within the inner layer of the Blood-colored Forbidden Area, Nangong Yu didn’t hesitate to backstab allies to snatch a Unity Gu.]

[4:.....]

....

Fu Changsheng quickly browsed through the information above and found only the second entry mentioned a divine statue. Even if the temple housed people from the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, they had no choice but to go there at this moment. Immediately, he turned to Qingru and Yaoyao, saying:
