The end of his life.
He was always just a useless person!
A worthless being loved by no one, respected by none.
At this mont, Fu Yongqiang’s heart was completely desolate.
He abruptly fixed his gaze on the bottle of Thousand Shadows Poison on the table, swiftly snatched it up, and was about to drink it.
"No!"
Fu Changsheng was quicker than him.
With a flick of his right index finger, a flash of spirit light knocked the Thousand Shadows Poison from his hand.
Fu Yongfan was equally startled, anxiously said:
"Seventh brother, the fault is not yours. It was a deliberate setup by soone close to place Ann Qi around you, an unforeseen conspiracy beyond anyone’s anticipation. You’ve already done well to realize it at the crucial mont and hand over the Thousand Shadows Poison. Father won’t bla you, so don’t do anything foolish."
"Father, elder brother, I’m already a sinner, not worthy of life."
Qiuya was Fu Yongqiang’s last defense line in his heart, now clearly determined to die, with no desire to live.
Fu Changsheng waved his hand, saying to Fu Yongfan:
"Brother Fan, take this woman away first."
"Yes, Father."
Fu Yongfan glanced worriedly at Fu Yongqiang but still took the dazed Qiuya out of the secret chamber. After they left, Fu Changsheng channeled a technique into the chamber, causing its door to slam shut.
Fu Changsheng walked up to Fu Yongqiang, looked him in the eye, and said sincerely:
"Brother Qiang, over these years, the neglect in care is my own failure as a father. If you hold resentnt, I understand. It’s my fault."
Upon hearing this.
A slight change appeared on Fu Yongqiang’s originally forlorn face.
Father is the Eighth-Grade Noble Family Head, apologizing to him in such a humble manner; it’s surely a first for the entire family.
If Father truly regarded him as nothing.
He wouldn’t have stepped in to stop him just now, nor admitted fault now.
Father, his father still acknowledges him as his son.
In an instant.
Fu Yongqiang felt all the resentnt and grievances he harbored over the years dissolved into tears, dripping steadily like pearls breaking off a string and splattering on the ground.
Seeing the despair fade from his son’s eyes, Fu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief.
He helped him up, and they sat facing each other. Fu Changsheng solemnly spoke:
"Brother Qiang, you’re only sixteen, still young. Everything is possible. Your brothers and sisters and I will think of ways to ensure you step onto the Path of Cultivation."
"Father, I... Can I cultivate without a spiritual root?"
"If you believe in yourself, do you trust Father?"
"I trust, I do!"
To sum up.
His inferiority, resentnt, and discontent stem from the inability to cultivate. If he can step onto the Path of Cultivation like his siblings, no matter how long he has to wait, he is willing.
Seeing hope reignite in his son’s eyes, Fu Changsheng relaxed:
"In the future, you must accumulate more Clan Contribution Points."
Only then.
Can he use the ’Offspring Talent Enhancent’ feature to ensure Brother Qiang steps onto the Path of Cultivation?
Just as the thought landed.
A familiar chanical voice echoed in his sea of divine sense:
"Ding"
"You’ve strategized brilliantly, uprooted the enemy’s planted nails, successfully resolved a family crisis, and unlocked Fu Yongqiang’s inner conflict, earning five hundred Clan Contribution Points."
Imdiately after.
The Clan Contribution Points on the panel promptly updated to two thousand five hundred.
Fu Changsheng was elated.
Next.
The family shared a warm dinner. To avoid burdening Brother Qiang, the matter concerning Qiuya was not openly discussed, known only to Fu Changsheng, Fu Yongfan, and Fu Yongqiang.
After everyone dispersed.
Fu Changsheng kept Fu Yongfan back.
According to the system’s alert.
An auction for Foundation Establishnt Pill will soon be held by Wanning Comrce Association.
He must first enhance Brother Fan’s talent, ensuring a smooth breakthrough to Foundation Establishnt:
"Brother Fan, co with to the Immortal Ascension Platform."
The Immortal Ascension Platform is a place for testing spiritual roots.
Fu Yongfan was puzzled.
Yet obediently followed Fu Changsheng to the Immortal Ascension Platform, holding the array token, activated the array.
Entered inside.
Fu Changsheng felt sowhat tense.
Focus was placed on the ’Offspring Talent Enhancent’ within his sea of divine sense, and with imdiate intent: "Enhance Fu Yongfan’s spiritual root talent."
Buzz!
The panel vibrated.
A surge of yellow light flowed.
Then, from the ’Offspring Talent Enhancent’ panel, a flash of invisible mystical energy shot through the void, landing inside Fu Yongfan’s body with a buzz, subtly sensing an upheaval altering within him.
Fu Yongfan shuddered:
"Father, what is this?"
Though unclear, Fu Yongfan knew it surely related to his father.
Fu Changsheng was focused on the system’s changes.
Buzz!
Spirit light whirled on the ’Offspring Talent Enhancent’ panel. Then, a line of text erged:
"Fu Yongfan: Spirit Root Talent (5/100)"
"This is...."
Fu Changsheng furrowed his brow.
He hadn’t anticipated that Brother Fan’s overall spirit root talent would only be five points. Though unsure of the system’s evaluation, regardless, this value seed too low:
"Could this be the enhanced talent?"
If so.
Brother Fan’s talent was unacceptably poor, but while Fu Changsheng hesitated.
The next mont.
The panel quivered slightly.
Text rolling atop, swiftly transforming to:
"Fu Yongfan: Spirit Root Talent (10/100)"
Fu Changsheng sighed in relief.
Evidently, this was the enhanced talent.
He glanced quickly at the updated Clan Contribution Points, finding it cleared.
A quick conversion.
Five hundred Clan Contribution Points increased one spiritual root talent point:
