Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 851: Chapter 324: Critical Intelligence and Strategy (Second Update)

Fu Changsheng looked at the seven thousand Court Merit Points displayed on the panel. Together with the three thousand from the Qiuya Tribe before, their Fu Family had now amassed seventy thousand. They were only ten thousand Court Merit Points away from meeting the Seventh-Grade promotion threshold:

”Perhaps we should visit the Qianye Tribe once more?”

The Celestial Toad Tribe had three major Purple Mansion Tribes under its dominion.

Now, only the Qianye Tribe remained, but this tribe bordered the Celestial Toad Tribe and was established by the Celestial Toad Tribe’s second son. Furthermore, it was located within the forest:

”Forget it.”

Just the Celestial Woe Tribe and the Yinan Tribe alone nearly cost him half his life.

Anyway, the Tier Three Artisan within the clan hadn’t been assembled yet, so they could slowly accumulate the remaining ten thousand Court Merit Points.

He immediately focused his mind on the panel:

”Deduce the Fourth Layer of the Great Derivation Technique”

Buzz!

The panel trembled.

A massive surge of yellow light flowed.

Immediately, golden tadpole-like symbols appeared, lining up in a sequence before diving into his Sea of Divine Sense with a boom:

”Divine Thought vast and boundless, the derived sense unhindered. Spiritual essence condenses the heart, Qi communicates with the ethereal sky. Star Illusion Order, Celestial Thunder Hidden Radiance. Sword Formation Integration, Divine Control Dome Territory.”

He carefully comprehended it.

He found that cultivating the Fourth Layer of the Great Derivation Technique was much harder than the Third Layer.

However,

the end of the cultivation text came with a note:

”If I could find Divine Yin Profound Water for assistance, then cultivation would be twice as effective with half the effort.”

If not, following the ordinary meditation cultivation method might be a lifetime away, and those with average aptitude would find it difficult to complete. However, once the Fourth Layer was cultivated, one would be able to use the technique’s accompanying Celestial Thunder Star Sword Array. Forged from Celestial Thunder Bamboo and Star Stone into Thunder Shock Swords, a total of twelve, and according to the technique’s description, once deployed, even a Golden Core Master would be hard-pressed to contend with it.

Fu Changsheng’s eyes brightened:

”By this logic, once this formation is completed, won’t I be able to challenge higher realms in the future?!”

Moreover,

this sword formation would be applicable even at the Golden Core Stage.

However, Celestial Thunder Bamboo was rare, and Star Stone was hard to find, and as for Divine Yin Profound Water, he’d never even heard of it:

”No rush.”

Currently, he himself controlled two Secret Realms and Ancient Cultivators’ Cave Mansions. Putting aside the one at Hanlin River, once the Eastern Wilderness battle was over, Yaoyao and the other two could return to the Yunshan County territory to break the barrier, where there would surely be one or two treasures of use inside.

Secondly,

the Guiding Order he obtained from Chief Yinan should also serve as an entry ticket to a Secret Realm or a relic. Along with the intelligence of a Minor World relic to be accessed thirty years from now by Seventh-Grade noble families of Great Zhou or above.

Before then,

he only needed to advance his cultivation as much as possible.

Once he broke through to the Third Layer of the Purple Mansion, he should be able to cast powerful spirit techniques like Bing Fire Divine Thunder three times:

”Hoo~”

Taking a deep breath,

Fu Changsheng glanced at the storage bag at his waist. The spirit medicine for the Cyan Essence Pill was complete; he only needed to give it to Meizhen for refining, and by then, he should be able to break through to the Third Layer of the Purple Mansion.

His gaze fell upon the panel.

He found that the remaining Clan Contribution Points were four thousand, just as he anticipated.

Hesitating for a moment.

Fu Changsheng focused his mind on the panel:

”Exchange for intelligence.”

Buzz!

The panel trembled.

A massive surge of yellow light flowed.

Immediately, lines of text appeared:

[1: The Golden Core Supreme Elder of the Celestial Toad Tribe was killed by Luo Haitang, and the tribe has fallen. When the Celestial Toad Tribe was attacked, the neighboring Celestial Yin Tribe received their plea for help but due to ancestral feuds, they did not aid them. The Celestial Toad Tribe fell, and the Supreme Elder of the Celestial Yin Tribe regrets this and quickly reported to the Eastern Wilderness Royal Court.]

[2: To the south of the Yinan Tribe and bordering the Fish Eagle Tribe, a subordinate Purple Mansion Tribe of the Celestial Yin Tribe, lies a miniature Star Stone Vein at Xinguang Mountain, which will be discovered by Shangguan Li in a few years.]

[3: The candidate for Chieftain of the Fish Eagle Tribe, the Fish Eagle Prince, will discover a Profound Yin Pearl when dissecting a Cangming Beast he hunted at Taro Mountain in a few months.]

[4: The Yu Family discovered a mature cluster of Celestial Thunder Bamboo in a Cave Mansion relic.]

[5: The Guiding Order held by Chief Yinan indicates that a relic will open in a few years, containing Divine Yin Profound Water, which will be discovered by the Fish Eagle Prince.]

[6: ...]

...

Fu Changsheng’s eyes brightened as he read the lines of text:

”Sure enough, only when I possess a certain item will related intelligence be deduced.”

From the information above,

whether it’s the Divine Yin Profound Water needed for cultivating the Fourth Layer of the Great Derivation Technique, or the materials required for forging the Thunder Shock Sword in the Celestial Thunder Star Sword Array, they all have been located:

”It seems I must get to Xinguang Mountain before Shangguan Li.”

However,

before that, he must wait for a message from the Luo Family.

Since the Celestial Toad Tribe has been destroyed, their subsidiary Qianye Tribe is estimated to be annihilated as well, and the remaining Foundation Establishment Tribes have been subjugated one by one by the noble families of South Huai.

The time will soon come for rewards and recognitions.

He couldn’t abruptly disappear.

But before that, he could start making arrangements.

He immediately cast a technique into the Communication Jade Talisman:

”Yongshang, come up to the top deck of the warship.”

A while later,

Fu Yongshang appeared respectfully in Fu Changsheng’s cabin, his face aglow with health:

”Patriarch, what are your orders?”

”Organize the supplies from this campaign, and as soon as Runzhi completes repairs on the other two Spirit Cannons, set sail for Jingzhou immediately.”

As he spoke,

Fu Changsheng tapped his storage bag, a flash of dawn light, and immediately a box floated towards Fu Yongshang:

”This box is for Meizhen; remember, it mustn’t pass through anyone else’s hands.”

”Yes, Patriarch.”

Fu Yongshang carefully accepted it with both hands. Though curious about the box’s contents, the restrictions on it made clear it could only be unlocked by the Lady of the House. He tucked it into his sleeve and bowed:
