"Molan, go ahead and open it."
"Yes, Patriarch."
The treasures hidden within the secret chamber.
They must be extraordinary.
Fu Molan felt sowhat excited, as well as a bit expectant.
The box opened.
Inside, there was a Tier Three Spiritual Artifact:
"Mountain-Sealing Seal!"
Fu Molan’s eyes lit up.
The Mountain-Sealing Seal was the Clan Treasure of the Cao Family.
Fu Changsheng said:
"On this trip to the Imperial Capital, the clan can give you this spiritual artifact to take with you. Make use of the ti now to perform sacrificial refinent."
Fu Molan was moved in her heart.
After all, this spiritual artifact could serve as the clan’s treasure, yet the Patriarch gave it to her without hesitation.
This was the Patriarch’s recognition of her.
Fu Molan imdiately cupped her hands and said:
"Patriarch, rest assured, when I reach the Imperial Capital, I certainly will not bring disgrace to our Fu Family."
"It’s not important whether or not you bring disgrace. When you get to the Imperial Capital, especially once you enter Great Zhou Academy, you’ll be amongst the top talents from various regions. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, rember, safety is most important."
Fu Changsheng gave a few words of advice.
After leaving the Treasure Vault, Fu Changsheng sent a communication to Fu Yongrui and Fu Yongfan to also co to the Patriarch’s Mansion.
...
When Fu Yongfan received the ssage, Jade Lotus happened to return and share the council eting’s contents with him, speaking with so excitent:
"Husband, at the Elder Council, it was decided that the twenty thousand Spirit Stones from the clan will be used for bidding on Foundation Establishnt Pills at the Yongning Comrce Association. Husband, you have hope for Foundation Establishnt now."
Over the years.
Jade Lotus feared her husband might develop an inferiority complex.
She was cautious in everything she did.
Now, finally, they had weathered the storm and seen the moonlight.
Jade Lotus, slightly choking up, said:
"Mother has been constantly concerned about your Foundation Establishnt. If... if she’s able to hold on for a few more years and see you succeed, this wish of hers would be fulfilled."
Fu Yongfan patted Jade Lotus on the shoulder.
In the last four years.
He noticed his cultivation speed had significantly increased, and especially recently, he felt that his speed of absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was roughly the sa as soone with Three Spiritual Roots.
But for all these years.
He had stayed within the clan.
Without any fortuitous encounters.
The only difference was when his father took him to the Immortal Ascension Platform for another Spiritual Root test four years ago.
Yet.
He couldn’t recall what happened during that ti.
Looking back now, he surmised it was because of his father that he was able to improve his Spirit Root Talent, but he only thought about it in his heart. Although curious, he didn’t go back to the Immortal Ascension Platform to verify his conjecture.
Moreover.
He didn’t even tell Jade Lotus.
He was thinking when the Communication Jade Talisman at his waist suddenly lit up.
At his side, Jade Lotus, upon hearing that it was his father asking her husband to go to the Patriarch’s Mansion, eyes lit up with a glint and instinctively grasped Fu Yongfan’s right hand:
"Husband, Father has been in North Huai Prefecture for four years. Do you think... do you think he might have already prepared a Foundation Establishnt Pill for you in advance?!"
If so.
Then they wouldn’t have to worry about being outbid at the auction for Foundation Establishnt Pills.
Fu Yongfan, however, wasn’t one to randomly speculate about his father’s intentions, shaking his head saying:
"Father called for , but it might not necessarily be about the Foundation Establishnt Pill."
"Do you think Father wants you to participate in the Great Zhou Academy slot competition?!"
Jade Lotus was shocked.
Fearful Fu Yongfan would agree, she hurriedly said:
"Husband, although a slot at Great Zhou Academy is rare, we can’t really handle it. Besides, in a few years we’ll be grandparents, you mustn’t make a rash decision."
"What are you thinking?"
Fu Yongfan, usually stern, allowed a slight smile to appear.
Since embarking on cultivation, he had been managing the family’s miscellaneous affairs without any life-and-death combat experience; no matter what, the slot wouldn’t be his:
"I’ll go now, in case Father gets impatient."
Having said that.
Fu Yongfan briskly headed out the door.
Jade Lotus, unable to sit still in the room by herself, decided to go to the back mountain to discuss this matter with her mother.
.....
anwhile,
by a Dark River within the clan.
Fu Yongrui was sitting cross-legged cultivating, when light footsteps approached, causing Fu Yongrui’s eyes to suddenly open with a rare smile for the person coming:
"Yunfeng, you’re here."
This person was Liuu Yunfeng, one of the three sons of the Taiyun County Liuu Family in Jingzhou.
Liuu Yunfeng gave a tap to the storage bag, and instantly a food box appeared, with nine layers containing snacks, sweets, stead dishes, and main dishes, all at a warm temperature, indicating they had just been freshly cooked.
Fu Yongrui eagerly sampled a piece of Qianyu Cake and said with a smile:
"Yunfeng, your cooking skills have improved quite a lot."
Liuu Yunfeng laid out the food box layer by layer, not eating himself, just continuously serving food to the other.
After a few bites.
Fu Yongrui noticed Liuu Yunfeng seed burdened with worries and asked:
"Yunfeng, have you been hearing rumors again, letting your imagination run wild?"
Fu Yongrui steadied Liuu Yunfeng, looking directly into his eyes, and said earnestly:
"Yunfeng, rest assured, I am now at the Peak of Qi Cultivation, and I hear the clan is preparing for the Foundation Establishnt Pill auction. When I establish my Foundation, the first thing I’ll do is get Father to agree to our marriage."
Liuu Yunfeng shook her head.
This wasn’t what she was worried about.
She bit her lip and said:
"Brother Rui, I heard the clan plans to hold a martial competition, and the winning two will be eligible to enter Great Zhou Academy."
So that was it.
Fu Yongrui shook his head:
"Yunfeng, there’s no need to worry about that. I hear Brother Fuu is also interested in going, so no matter what, that spot won’t fall to . Besides, if I leave, what will you do? I won’t participate in that martial competition."
Upon hearing this, Liuu Yunfeng’s face showed a hint of a smile, yet she advised:
