"Patriarch, what are the standards for promotion to the eighth-grade?"
"There are five requirents for promotion to the eighth-grade. The first is that the family must have fifteen mbers with Foundation Establishnt Battle Power."
Upon hearing this.
Third brother Fu Changli murmured:
"This condition is too absurd. A single Foundation Establishnt Pill is hard to co by. It’s not easy for the family to produce one Foundation Establishnt in ten years. Currently, we have only three Foundation Establishnt mbers at best. It will take forever to gather fifteen mbers."
No wonder the other Ninth-Grade Noble Families haven’t been promoted after all these years.
Just this one requirent has stopped countless people.
Fu Changsheng waved his hand and said:
"Third brother, let finish. The Court’s requirent of fifteen mbers with battle power includes not only our Fu Family mbers but also our spirit pets."
"Currently, we have spirit pets at Tier Two, including izhen’s Two-headed Green-eyed Python, fourth sister’s Illusion Jade Peak Queen Bee, my Centipede Mother, Cyan Python, Spirit-devouring Insect, and Tier Two Ghost Servant. Counting as Foundation Establishnt mbers, we already have nine mbers with battle power, which is only six short of the target."
Before he finished speaking.
Sitting in the second seat on the left, Fu Molan spoke:
"Reporting to the Patriarch, the Windbreak Beast you gifted successfully broke through to Tier Two last month."
"Oh, with this, we are only five mbers short of eting the first requirent!"
And he has three Foundation Establishnt Pills on hand.
This indicates that the promotion to eighth-grade is not far away.
Everyone’s expression gradually relaxed upon hearing this.
Fu Changren hurriedly asked:
"Patriarch, what about the other four conditions?"
"The second condition is that there must be ten Tier Two Artisans in the clan. Currently, we et this standard with Elder Gan, Uncle Yu, Elder Shi, fourth sister, third brother, Elder Runzhi, izhen, myself, Elder Yuwen Wei, Elder Cai. We have exactly ten, and the second standard is already t ahead of schedule."
"Furthermore"
"The other three conditions are that there must be two Ninth-Grade Noble Families in the territory, one Tier Three Spirit Vein, and rit Points reaching twenty thousand."
Upon hearing this.
The previously jubilant expressions turned into deep concern.
Liuu izhen was the first to speak:
"Among these three conditions, the Tier Three Spirit Vein can be achieved as long as spirit stones are sufficient. Grandmaster Yu, but do you know how many spirit stones are needed to upgrade the current Tier Two Middle-Grade Spirit Vein to Tier Three?"
"Two hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones."
Two hundred thousand?!
This figure would be astronomical for the Fu Family in the past.
Fu Changren quickly calculated:
"Two hundred thousand spirit stones is sothing our family could accumulate over ten to twenty years if everyone tightens their belts."
For cultivators.
Ten years is not considered long.
The challenge is cultivating two Ninth-Grade Noble Families.
Sitting at the lower end, Fu Molan spoke again:
"Let everyone know that not long ago, one of our vassal families, the Yu Family—Yu Qingru—has already broken through to Foundation Establishnt. They already have one Foundation Establishnt mber. I believe it won’t be a problem to produce another Foundation Establishnt cultivator in the next decade. By then, helping the Yu Family beco the first Ninth-Grade Noble Family in our territory shouldn’t be difficult. As for the second Ninth-Grade Noble Family, the Huli Mountain Tea Farr Li Family mbers have no Foundation Establishnt Seeds. We might have to choose another Qi Cultivation Clan to join."
After a pause.
Fu Molan added:
"The next family to beco our Fu Family vassal should preferably have an existing Foundation Establishnt cultivator, which would save a lot of ti when upgrading to Ninth-Grade."
Everyone started strategizing.
Fourth sister Fu Changli also suggested:
"As for two thousand Court rit Points, I think our family could form a War Hall. Firstly, we could venture into the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss to slay ghost creatures for rit points; Secondly, we could go to the Eastern Wilderness Border to hunt solitary Southern Barbarians; Thirdly, we could team up to hunt in the Ten Thousand Mountains, increasing earnings while honing combat skills."
Fu Changsheng’s eyes lit up:
"Fourth sister, your suggestion is excellent."
"To be honest, the Seven Miles Mountain Demon Cave in Anyang County is about to erupt, and the Court will issue a recruitnt order. Many mbers of our clan will likely be called up, so it’s best to select so disciples for specialized training as a precaution."
"And"
"The demon cave eruption is bad news, but it’s also a great opportunity for us to accumulate rit points."
"Who among us wants to oversee the War Hall?"
Overseeing the War Hall.
One must have strong abilities, else they won’t be able to keep the group in line, and also have ample combat experience.
Almost everyone looked at Fu Molan on the lower left.
Fu Molan and Liuu izhen are both Foundation Establishnt cultivators.
But Liuu izhen generally focuses on alchemy, and rarely engages in dharma combat. On the other hand, Fu Molan and Fu Changsheng have gone out for training several tis, making him the most qualified.
Seeing this, Fu Molan didn’t decline and responded openly:
"Since that’s the case, I’ll oversee the War Hall."
"Good, then next, Molan, you’ll be responsible for selecting and training disciples from the clan."
Just as Fu Changsheng finished speaking.
Older brother Fu Changren said:
"Patriarch, previously Yongshang proposed constructing a marketplace in the territory, asking you for a detailed plan, which I’ve handed over for your review. If the marketplace can be established, we won’t need twenty years to accumulate the spirit stones to upgrade our spirit vein."
Fu Changsheng took the thick book handed over by Fu Changren and set it aside for the mont.
He turned to today’s real topic:
"This Elder Council eting is actually to gather input on distributing Foundation Establishnt Spiritual Objects when the clan acquires them next."
Upon hearing this.
The group visibly stirred.
The Patriarch’s words might an the clan still has Foundation Establishnt Pills or similar spiritual objects, prompting everyone to focus intently. However, currently, only Liu Runzhi and Fu Changlii et the Foundation Establishnt conditions.
Liuu izhen, seeing everyone speechless, spoke first:
"To obtain Foundation Establishnt Spiritual Objects, I propose the main criterion should be contribution points within the clan. After all, the family’s current achievents are thanks to everyone’s joint efforts. As for the required contribution points, it’s up to everyone’s opinion."
