Buzz!
The panel glowed with yellow light.
With the Clan Contribution Points changing from sixty-two to twelve, he found an extra box in his sleeve:
"I wonder what the prize is this ti?"
Even though he had drawn many prizes before.
Fu Changsheng was still full of anticipation.
He opened the box.
A green light erged.
Inside the box was unexpectedly a palm-sized inner armor:
"Oh, it’s actually a Protective Spiritual Artifact?"
When Fu Changsheng reached out to touch it, a stream of information flowed into his Sea of Divine Sense:
[Cyan Rattan Armor, a Tier One High-Grade Protective Spiritual Artifact, when worn provides clarity and alertness, and during an attack, it automatically transforms into a cyan cocoon to protect the wearer]
It turned out to be a Tier One High-Grade Magical Artifact!
Fu Changsheng was delighted, holding it in his hands, instantly feeling his originally excited mood calm down significantly. He then joyfully perford the sacrificial refinent.
If he guessed correctly.
The Shangguan Family should be planning to take action soon, and as the person providing intelligence, no matter how much Shangguan Feng trusted him, the Shangguan Family would definitely want him to accompany them to the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.
When the battle begins.
With an extra inner armor for protection, he would naturally have an additional layer of security.
After refining the Cyan Rattan Armor, Fu Changsheng did not idle away. He continued his secluded cultivation of the "Dragon Transformation Technique," which was indeed much more difficult than the previous low-tier techniques he had practiced.
Three months later.
In the secret chamber.
Fu Changsheng ford a seal with both hands, chanting incantations.
Boom!
A ball of fla suddenly materialized in front of him, stretching and transforming with the change of technique, accompanied by a dragon’s roar:
"Roar!"
In the next instant.
The fla transford into a fire dragon several zhang long.
The fire dragon’s tail lashed out, striking the wall of the secret chamber.
Rumble!
The ground shook, rocks rolled, and the secret chamber was instantly filled with dust and smoke. If not for the presence of a defense array, the entire chamber might have collapsed:
"Impressive power!"
Satisfied, Fu Changsheng withdrew the technique. The three months of cultivation had not been in vain, for now, his execution of the Dragon Transformation Technique had reached Minor Achievent. For it to unleash its full potential, he knew he needed to reach a state of natural command:
"More than three months have passed, it’s ti to erge from seclusion."
Fu Changsheng stretched lazily.
As he exited the secret chamber.
What t his eyes were the lush Seven-Star Grass and the Red Marrow Rice that had already been harvested and sent to the backyard for his third brother to brew spiritual wine.
In the Spirit Field, Fu Changren, busy working, saw Fu Changsheng erge and quickly approached:
"Patriarch, you’ve finally co out of seclusion. Miss Hongyu visited ten days ago just to find you and, knowing you were in seclusion, asked that you contact her imdiately once you erge."
It seems the Shangguan Family is planning to make a move.
Fu Changsheng felt a surge of excitent and anticipation in his heart. He imdiately returned to the secret chamber, taking out a Communication Jade Talisman to contact Shangguan Hongyu, and received an imdiate response from her:
"Fellow Daoist Fu, please delegate the miscellaneous clan affairs, and join us at Leing Mountain in three days."
So it was indeed ti to head for the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers!
The Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers was located in the Eastern Wilderness, marking his first venture there, and naturally, he couldn’t help feeling excited. He promptly exited, instructing his elder brother Fu Changren to keep the premises closed and not to open the array for anyone, regardless of who it was.
Descending from Luofeng Mountain.
He headed straight for Nanyang Marketplace.
Given the inevitable hard-fought battle at the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, he naturally had to visit the marketplace since he was lacking healing elixirs and spirit dicines for quick spiritual qi recovery.
Moreover, it was an opportunity to check on the operations of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion within the marketplace.
Entering the marketplace.
The signboard of the Fu Family’s Hundred Treasures Pavilion was particularly conspicuous in the central area, and the shop was bustling with custors, almost all drawn by their Recovery Spirit Wine and Yanyang Wood.
Showing up at the shop.
The waiter, with sharp eyes, recognized Fu Changsheng imdiately. Waving a hand, he let the waiter continue attending to custors while he proceeded directly to the backyard, from which waves of heat radiated from the Artifact Refining Room on the left.
In the courtyard.
Molan was sitting cross-legged, cultivating beneath the Silver Mulberry Tree.
Fu Changsheng sensed that Molan had unexpectedly broken through to the Fourth Layer of Qi Cultivation, having practiced cultivation for less than four years and managed consecutive breakthroughs of four layers.
During this period.
Molan had not taken a single pill or spirit fruit.
Fu Changsheng couldn’t help but marvel, for she was indeed destined to beco a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator in a hundred years, truly a prodigy of her ti.
"Patriarch!"
Molan sensed soone entering and, upon seeing it was Fu Changsheng, her eyes lit up with joy. She quickly brought out the account book to report on the inco of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion over the past three months.
As their spiritual wine, spirit wood, Yani Gang Stone Ore, and talisman materials all originated from the clan, they incurred no procurent costs:
"Runzhi and I discussed that since we nad our shop the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, we decided to use this quarter’s shop revenue to purchase a batch of spirit pills, even if they don’t sell, our clan mbers could use them themselves, thus enriching our product variety, while also attracting more custors."
"Hmm, your idea is good. Since the shop is left to your managent, proceed boldly with your plans. By the way, what spirit pills did you purchase?"
The purchased spirit pills had yet to be placed on the shelves.
Molan took Fu Changsheng to the warehouse, pointing out each of the spirit pills on display.
Fu Changsheng took one bottle for healing, one for detoxification, and another for mana restoration, using the Clan Leader Token to deduct the corresponding Contribution Points.
Noticing Fu Changsheng evidently planning to embark on a long journey, Molan couldn’t help but say:
"Patriarch, my Dragon Transformation Technique has also reached Minor Achievent, and my cultivation has reached the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation. Please take with you. Having another person could provide additional support."
Fu Changsheng shook his head.
This journey to the Eastern Wilderness was fraught with danger.
He had both offensive and defensive magical artifacts, as well as the assistance of his spirit pet Xiaoqing and Ghost Servant Qiuchan, giving him so sense of security, but Molan did not even possess a single magical artifact, making it too risky for her to accompany him.
Moreover.
Molan was the Fu Family’s best hope for achieving a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishnt Stage first. The situation would change significantly if the clan produced a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, thus a talented cultivator like her couldn’t be risked for such a dangerous mission:
"Molan, your task is to cultivate diligently, striving to reach the Foundation Establishnt Stage as soon as possible!"
After spending two days in the marketplace.
Early the next morning.
He donned an Invisibility Cloak and left the marketplace, arriving at the designated spot on Leing Mountain. After waiting for less than the ti it takes to burn a stick of incense, he was enveloped by a familiar fragrance of a young woman, and turning around, he saw Shangguan Hongyu in her red palace dress with Shangguan Feng appearing behind him.
Fu Changsheng quickly cupped his hands in respect.
Shangguan Feng ford a seal with his right hand, encompassing the three of them within a light curtain. Only after the Sound Insulation Technique was activated did he speak:
"Fu Clan Leader, for this venture to the Eastern Wilderness, initially thinking we already knew the location of the Spirit Stone Vein, I hadn’t planned for you to risk yourself within. However, realizing that, once the Celestial Dragon Tribe and Niuteng Tribe are eradicated, it represents a great opportunity for rit for the Fu Family should you participate. Of course, the decision lies with you; do you wish to accompany us?"
