"Ding"
"You have contributed a batch of Tier One Spiritual Objects to the clan, and received sixty Clan Contribution Points."
Imdiately after.
The Contribution Points on the panel increased to four hundred eighty.
Seeing the rise in Contribution Points.
Fu Changsheng’s lips slightly curled up.
That night he did not leave his room again, but sat cross-legged in ditation. By the next morning, his expended True Essence was replenished once more, and the Spiritual Qi in the Room Number One was no less than cultivating in a Tier Two Low-Grade Spirit Spring Well.
Therefore.
The rent here per night was also quite a few Spirit Stones.
The last ti he t in Taiyun Valley, he was late, so the first thing he did upon waking was to leave the room, being the first to arrive on the first floor.
Unlike yesterday.
Just one night had passed.
Shopkeeper Nangong’s attitude had undergone a hundred eighty-degree change, unexpectedly treating him with the courtesy of an elder.
It was unknown whether it was because last night he slew Qiuo Taifeng and Shopkeeper Nangong caught wind of it, or if a Foundation Establishnt cultivator in the inn had inford him that Fu Changsheng was not just the Peak Qi Cultivation seen on the surface.
However.
He was about to depart for the World Suppression Bureau on East Street.
Fu Changsheng didn’t pay much attention.
He imdiately booked a private room and ordered five breakfasts. When Shangguan Feng and the others ca downstairs, they had breakfast together and headed for East Street.
Outside the defense array of the World Suppression Bureau on East Street,
The guards dressed in royal attire were actually Qi Cultivation Peak, but they were still neither overbearing nor servile to Shangguan Feng and the others. They checked their tokens one by one, and only after receiving a response from inside did they allow entry.
The World Suppression Bureau was a courtyard with three entries.
They needed to go for registration at the Affairs Hall in the first entry.
Steward Yang of the Affairs Hall, upon hearing they were there for the newly established fiefdom in Yunshan County, glanced at Fu Changsheng, who was not yet thirty, with so surprise, but didn’t say much and cupped his hands:
"Please wait a mont, this matter is personally handled by Vice Hall Master Liu. I need to go to the back courtyard for instruction."
"Thank you, Steward Yang."
Fu Changsheng discreetly handed over a brocade pouch.
Steward Yang tucked it into his sleeve, squeezed it a bit, and then showed a smile of three parts, saying a bit more:
"Our lord has a habit of ditating in the morning. After finishing breakfast, it will take about half an hour, please be seated in the side hall and wait."
Saying so,
Steward Yang personally escorted them to the side hall, instructed the maidservants to serve tea and snacks, and then turned to go to the back courtyard.
After roughly half an hour, Steward Yang returned: "Thank you for waiting, please follow ."
Passing through the front hall,
They arrived at the second, smaller yet more formal reception hall.
In the hall,
A corpulent man was seated at the head.
He was likely the Vice Hall Master Liu ntioned by Steward Yang. Fu Changsheng glanced up, noticing that his aura was the sa as Shangguan Feng’s, likely Foundation Establishnt Peak.
After everyone paid their respects,
Vice Hall Master Liu gestured to the seats beside and invited everyone to sit. He didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point:
"Since your three families are acting as guarantors for the Fu Family, you must be very clear about the joint responsibilities you are taking, but I will briefly explain it nonetheless."
"Please listen carefully."
"Should the fiefdom in Yunshan County fall, whether by the hands of Demon Beasts or Southern Barbarians invasion, the Shangguan Family, Liang Family, and Lin Family must reclaim the fiefdom, and compensate double for the losses caused to the fiefdom. Do you all understand?"
Though they had been prepared,
Lin Tianfu still felt enormous pressure, as Yunshan County not only bordered the Ten Thousand Mountains but was also not far from the Cloud Soaring Tribe in the Eastern Wilderness.
But since they had agreed to be guarantors,
There was naturally no reason to go back on their word now.
He imdiately stood with Shangguan Feng and cupped his hands:
"Master Hall, we understand and are clear."
"Hmm, if that is the case, then sign this guarantor pledge docunt."
Saying so,
With a wave of his sleeve,
A scroll flashed out, and as he cast a technique into it, the scroll emitted thick black smoke. The smoke condensed in mid-air into lines of text, which were exactly the words Vice Hall Master Liu had spoken earlier. The signature section at the bottom of the docunt was still blank.
Shangguan Feng ford a seal with his right hand, casting several strands of mana onto the docunt, which then revealed his na in the signature space. Elder Liang and Lin Tianfu followed suit, and afterward, each dripped a drop of essence blood onto the scroll. With a buzzing sound, the scroll ca to life, conjuring a grinning malevolent ghost that devoured the drops of essence blood from the three.
Vice Hall Master Liu suddenly ford a seal,
The black light of the scroll receded, transforming into a suspended docunt, which Steward Yang took with both hands and placed on a tray next to him.
Only then did Vice Hall Master Liu turn his gaze to Fu Changsheng:
"According to the information submitted by the Shangguan Family, your rit Points have t the requirent, but to officially be recognized as a Quasi-Ninth-Grade Noble Family, you must pay a guarantee deposit of twenty thousand Spirit Stones."
"Rest assured"
"This deposit is temporarily held by us, and once you successfully ascend to Ninth-Grade Noble Family, it will be returned to you intact."
"Of course"
"As agreed, if your fiefdom falls, the deposit will serve as compensation."
Fu Changsheng was montarily stunned.
The matter of the deposit,
Shangguan Feng hadn’t ntioned to him.
Even Shangguan Feng was apparently unaware, as the World Suppression Bureau had spread so word about it but hadn’t detailed every step.
Shangguan Feng quickly transmitted a ssage:
"Changsheng, how many Spirit Stones do you have on hand? If you don’t have enough, I can cover the rest."
"Uncle Feng, I have enough Spirit Stones with ."
