Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 832: Chapter 318: Bountiful Harvest, Evolution, Guiding Order (Ten-Thousand-Word Combined Chapter)_3

The last time I entered the Withered Well Cave Mansion, it was extremely hurried, and I didn’t take time to search carefully.

He took a deep breath.

Fu Changsheng lightly tapped the ground with his toes, transforming into a beam of rainbow light and plunging into the withered well, falling roughly a thousand zhang. Suddenly, specks of green light appeared in sight, and the entrance to the cave mansion came into view, with complex array patterns and runes circulating at the entrance.

It was only with the help of Celestial Sound Fairy last time that he was able to enter.

However.

This time, it’s not so troublesome.

He slapped the storage bag at his waist, still smeared with the blood of Chief Yinan, and with a flash of dawn light, an ancient token appeared in his hand, accompanied by several Daoist Techniques infused into it.

Buzz!

The array patterns on the entrance stone wall quickly revolved, then formed a complete, complex rune.

With a creak.

The door automatically swung outward.

An ancient and desolate aura rushed forth.

”Master”

At this moment.

An excited emotion suddenly transmitted from Qiu Niang in the Stone Monument Space:

”Master, I want to go out.”

Fu Changsheng’s heart moved.

He was also deeply unsettled by this eerie space. If Qiu Niang could help, it would be wonderful.

With a thought.

Buzz!

Green light surged.

Qiu Niang’s figure flashed and appeared.

Qiu Niang’s gaze fell upon the entrance of the cave mansion, a look of confusion flickering in her eyes.

Fu Changsheng hesitated and asked:

”Qiu Niang, did you discover anything?”

”Master, this... this cave mansion gives me a sense of déjà vu.”

Upon hearing this, Fu Changsheng’s eyes brightened.

Qiu Niang had always been trapped within the Five Elements Grotto Heaven. Assuming she hadn’t been elsewhere, the only possible familiarity would be that this place might have been part of the Five Elements Grotto Heaven before:

”Qiu Niang, come, let’s go in and take a look.”

”Yes, Master.”

Qiu Niang was somewhat impatient. Upon hearing this, she immediately took the lead and entered.

The entrance led to an abandoned birch forest, with birch trees lining both sides and a dirt road straight to the distant Sanglin.

”Caw caw”

Countless crows perched on the dead trees of the birch forest.

Seeing Fu Changsheng and Qiu Niang entering, they were not scared. After making a couple of strange cries, they flapped their wings, took to the sky, and vanished in the air:

”This.....”

He vaguely remembered.

Last time when he came in, there were no crows or dead trees.

He looked up again at the Blood Moon in the sky, feeling the place was even more eerie:

”Qiu Niang, how are you feeling now?”

Qiu Niang was staring blankly at the ancient temple in the distance.

Qiu Niang slowly came to her senses and softly said, ”Master, I feel the aura here is even more familiar, as if something in the ancient temple is calling to me.”

Fu Changsheng frowned slightly, his eyes fixated on Qiu Niang, then glanced at the ancient temple exuding a mysterious aura in the distance.

Last time he entered.

He didn’t enter the ancient temple, but went straight to the small house and took the things before leaving.

This place is too eerie and unpredictable.

Fu Changsheng halted Qiu Niang:

”Wait.”

At that moment, he directed his thoughts to the Sea of Divine Sense panel:

”Exchange for information.”

Buzz!

The panel vibrated.

Masses of yellow light surged.

Immediately, lines of text emerged:

[1: The Yu Family’s siege of the Qiuya Tribe remains unsuccessful. The Qiuya Tribe hides a cultivator of Half-Step Purple Mansion stage, along with a Tier Three Mountain Protection Array. The Qiuya Tribe sees the Yu Family cultivators as inadequate, causing the tribe’s two major forces to debate over whether to deploy the Poisonous Spider for a counterattack.]

[2: The Cui Family, Nangong Family, and Shi Family have heavily recruited a Purple Mansion cultivator as a combat force on their side, and are collaborating with the Shangguan Family to study how to break the Celestial Woe Tribe’s Mountain Protection Array, but have not yet launched an attack.]

[3: Several pieces of red refining fire copper are hidden in the Qiuya Tribe Chieftain’s secret chamber, which can be fused with your Lifebound Spiritual Artifact to upgrade the Three-Transformation Treasure Lotus Lamp to Tier Three High-Grade.]

[4: In the cave mansion you are located, there’s a Spirit Medicine Garden with a Bodhi Tree over a thousand years old in its ancient temple courtyard.]

[5: The Celestial Woe Tribe hides Frost Profound Iron, which can repair the Spirit Cannon on the Celestial Dragon Warship.]

[6:...]

....

Fu Changsheng swiftly scanned the intel.

No information pertinent to the ancient temple was provided.

Obviously, the system level is insufficient.

However, since the courtyard of the ancient temple contains a thousand-year-old Bodhi Tree, and something that interests Qiu Niang, it might be worth the risk:

”Qiu Niang, let’s go.”

”Yes, Master.”

Qiu Niang responded excitedly.

The two of them slowly proceeded along the dirt road, the ground beneath them somewhat soft, like stepping on cotton. In the reflection of the Blood Moon, the Sanglin glowed with an eerie red, the mulberry leaves rustling.

When they approached the Sanglin, suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew through, sending the mulberry leaves dancing wildly, obscuring their sight. Fu Changsheng quickly deployed his Spiritual Power to protect them, and when the wind ceased, he found that the surrounding scenery had changed. The original dirt road had vanished, replaced by a stretch of mist, and the ancient temple ahead became blurry.

”Master, what’s going on?” Qiu Niang asked, a bit frightened.

Fu Changsheng took a deep breath and spoke calmly: ”It’s likely a trap set by Chief Yinan, we must handle it cautiously.”

Last time, the treasures in Chief Yinan’s small house were stolen.

Surely he would learn from his experience.

He extended his hand, attempting to touch the mist, only to find that as soon as his hand entered, an invisible force bounced it back.

”Squeak squeak”

Suddenly.

Strange cries echoed from the forest.

Fu Changsheng vigilantly scanned around.

He noticed some bizarre runes faintly flickering on the mulberry trees, these runes seemed to possess life, slowly flowing with weak Spiritual Power fluctuations.

”Qiu Niang, be careful!”

Fu Changsheng acted with a thought.

At once, he gathered Qiu Niang into the Stone Monument Space.

At the same time.

Several shadows suddenly darted out from the depths of the Sanglin, moving rapidly, reaching them in an instant. Upon a closer look, it turned out to be some enormous black spiders, each as large as an adult, emitting a nauseating aura, with eight sharp claws carving marks into the ground.
