Chapter 283 Three major developments in the family, candidates for Beijing, private decisions for life
After the funeral of Gan Shenglin.
All the elders were also present, and Fu Changsheng directly advanced the elders' meeting.
four years ago.
After the celebration of the Fu family's promotion to the eighth rank, it was Fu Changli who took over Fu Yongfan's position as chief steward.
Fu Yongli reported to everyone the financial expenditures of the clan and the output of various regions in the clan in the past four years.
The end.
Offer the inventory with both hands:
"Head of the family, because Yongshang signed a contract with five aristocratic families to establish the Demon Control City, the clan received a large amount of additional income. Now there are still 300,000 low-grade spiritual stones on the books as liquidity."
< br>
Three hundred thousand spirit stones.
For the Fu family back then.
That is unthinkable.
Fu Changsheng said:
“Do you think it’s more appropriate to use this spiritual stone?”
Yaoyao, who was sitting on the lower right side, pondered for a while and said:
"Father, as the number of people building foundations in our family increases, the spiritual springs opened up by the third-level spiritual veins in the original Taiqiu Mountains are obviously not enough. It is better to put this spiritual stone first and wait until enough is accumulated. We have paid 500,000, and we will upgrade this spiritual vein to the third-level mid-grade together when the time comes.”
"For us to be promoted to a seventh-grade family, we also need to upgrade our spiritual veins to the fourth level. It can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone."
Although Fu Changren did not build a foundation, the chief steward of the Luofengshan tribe shook his head when he heard this:
"The Wanning Chamber of Commerce's previous Foundation Establishment Pill bidding meeting has been postponed until the 15th of this month. There are still a few days left. Instead of leaving this spiritual stone empty, it is better to use it to bid for the Foundation Establishment Pill. Now the clan is waiting for the Foundation Establishment Pill to build the foundation." There are quite a few tribesmen.”
"A few more people to build the foundation"
"In a few years, with their strength, they will be able to earn back this spiritual stone."
As soon as this statement came out.
Everyone nodded.
Leaving the spiritual stones alone is a dead money. After all, there is no telling when the other three hundred thousand spiritual stones will be raised.
Yaoyao also felt that she was not thinking well:
"Uncle is still far-sighted"
Fu Changsheng saw that Fu Yongshang sitting at the end was hesitant to speak, and said:
"Yongshang, do you have any good suggestions? You are a great contributor to earning this amount of spiritual stones."
Fu Yongshang immediately waved his hands in panic.
After organizing the language.
Xu Xudao:
"My uncle said that I would use this spiritual stone to bid for the Foundation Establishment Pill. I have no objection. However, if there is another spiritual stone in the clan in the future, I propose to use it to purchase a treasure ship first."
As an eighth-grade family.
Enjoyed the privilege of purchasing treasure ships from the imperial court.
This treasure ship is a token of passage that can travel across various states.
Fu Changsheng frowned:
"Yongshang, do you want to open up a trade route between Jingzhou and Jingzhou?"
"Exactly!"
Fu Yongshang was very happy that Fu Changsheng could understand his thoughts at once, and he talked about it in a few words:
"Master of the House"
"Now in Jingzhou, the mistress has been stationed here for more than ten years, and she has established a firm foothold in Jingzhou."
"In our Jingzhou, especially in the remote place of Huainan, since the tide of hundreds of thousands of mountain beasts, the major cities and towns have been in a recession, and there are fewer and fewer monks moving around."
"If we can open up a trade route between Jingzhou and Jingzhou, and raise the five hundred thousand spiritual stones to improve the spiritual veins, I can guarantee that we will be able to complete the goal within ten years."
Everyone was excited after hearing this.
Fu Molan also thought this was a good idea, she nodded slightly and said:
"If we really want to open up trade routes, the clan must select candidates to form a caravan in advance. The clansmen in the Zhanzhan Hall all have many years of hunting experience. It would be better if we can support a few breakthroughs to build the foundation."
Now Fu Yongqi, Fu Yonghan, Fu Yonghui and others from Zhengzhan Hall are all at the peak of Qi refining and are waiting in line for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Fu Changren frowned.
Watching Fu Yongshang hand each person a planning book.
After taking it myself.
After flipping through it casually, he put it aside, shook his head and said:
"Master, I think it is too aggressive to create a trade route. Unlike our Jingzhou, in Jingzhou, I heard that you can often see the Zifu overhaul. The previous few times our Fu family went to and from Jingzhou, it was just to transport people. This did not arouse the prying eyes of others. If we really transport goods, the target is so huge, I am afraid that even Zifu Overhaul will end up. After all, once we pass Huainan, the Gaopin Family can attack us at any time."
< br>
Fu Yongshang bowed his hand to Fu Changren.
Don’t be in a hurry and say:
"I am also concerned about what my uncle said, so I plan to purchase the treasure ship and then use the formation masters and talisman masters in the clan to transform it. Just like building the Demon Control City, our Demon Control City can resist beasts. It should not be a problem to block Zifu Daxiu’s attack from the tide and level 3 monsters.”
“It just doesn’t work”
"We can also apply to the imperial court for the Purple Mansion Overhaul to escort us. I have inquired about it. The imperial court's Purple Mansion Overhaul can be exchanged for our use through the imperial merit points. Of course, this cost is quite a lot, so I still suggest the first plan.”
Said.
Fu Yongshang looked at Yaoyao.
Yaoyao had already broken through to the level of a third-level formation mage. When she built the Demon Control City, she followed Grandmaster Yu and worked on it herself.
Yaoyao thought for a moment, but she was not sure:
"If you want to modify the treasure ship, you still have to see the real thing first."
Since the opinions were not unanimous, everyone turned their attention to Fu Changsheng. Naturally, the head of the family was required to make a decision on such a matter.
Fu Changsheng took a sip of Wuling tea to moisten his throat:
"Treasure ships are necessary in wartime, and they must be purchased sooner or later. Once you get them, let the people in the Formation Hall and the Talisman Making Hall look at the specific situation. Take it step by step, and you won't become fat with one bite."
< br>
"But"
"This advice from Yongshang is very good"
"If you have any open source ideas, please feel free to speak out."
After the second half of the session.
Seeing that everyone had raised their opinions, Fu Changsheng cleared his throat and said:
"A few years ago, after our Fu family was promoted to the eighth rank, I mentioned to everyone that we had one foundation building and two Qi refining quotas to enter the Great Zhou Academy. What do you think? Does anyone recommend it or recommend it? Candidate? ”
Enter Dazhou Academy.
It is equivalent to standing on the shoulders of giants.
Moreover, the Great Zhou Academy was founded in the imperial capital.
The cultivation resources there are simply not comparable to their remote place in Jingzhou.
However, they had also heard about the dangers of entering Dazhou Academy.
For children from lower-class families, especially those from marginalized areas, it was unclear whether they could survive, let alone complete their studies.
As soon as this statement came out.
Everyone looked at each other.
Yulian had heard about it, but her husband had not yet established a foundation, her mother was old, her children were young, and she was burdened with a lot of mundane affairs. Let alone the imperial capital, she could not even leave Jingzhou. She had never thought of leaving the fiefdom. .
But deep down she knew this was a rare opportunity.
So she looked around enviously.
Now that Fu Changli, Fu Molan, Liu Runzhi and Yaoyao are not married yet, they don't have these worries at all.
Fu Changsheng had just finished speaking.
Yaoyao took the lead and said:
"Father, I want to enter Dazhou Academy to learn a thing or two."
"Master, I also have this wish"
But Fu Molan also spoke.
Yaoyao has been studying the secret realm barrier for ten years, wasting ten years of cultivation time, and has just recently broken through to the middle stage of foundation building.
also.
In addition to resisting the tide of beasts.
Yaoyao has no experience in going out for training at all.
Fu Changsheng immediately shook his head:
"Yaoyao, your cultivation level is too low, and Uncle Yu is in seclusion. You are the only second-level formation master left in the clan. You stay in Jingzhou."
Compared to entering the secret realm many times.
It’s Fu Molan who has been out hunting in the mountains with Zhengzhantang for a long time.
Yaoyao still has too little experience.
As Mo Lan and Yaoyao spoke, the male elders of the clan on the left looked at each other.
Fu Changli never liked fighting and killing, so he was not interested at all.
Fu Yongfu, who was only good at making talismans, also shook his head.
Fu Yongyi wanted to go, but Fu Molan raised his hand. He felt that he was a junior and it was probably not his turn. Moreover, the clan needed him to explore the sources of mineral veins. Even if he wanted to leave, the clan would not let him go.
Ouyang Fei stroked his beard.
The mouth has grown longer.
But he swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
He has been at the peak of his foundation for many years. When he goes to the Great Zhou Dynasty, he will have a chance to break through the Zi Mansion. But compared to Fu Molan, who has been quietly dedicated to the family since the family was young, his qualifications are still far from enough.
Fu Changsheng saw that everyone agreed with Mo Lan.
Of course he had no objection.
Mo Lan has mutated ice spirit roots and possesses bone spirit cold fire. Now her cultivation has broken through to the ninth level of foundation building. Coupled with her childhood experience and the training over the years, he believes that Mo Lan even goes to the Great Zhou Dynasty. The academy can definitely protect itself:
"Mo Lan, if you make up your mind, you can stay after the meeting."
"Yes, Master"
The candidate for foundation building has been determined.
Next is the quota for two Qi Refining monks.
Yaoyao hesitated for a while and said:
"Father, Brother Fu heard that you can go to the Imperial Capital. He has been pestering me all these years, saying that if you don't go to the Imperial Capital in this life, your life will be in vain. No matter how much you try to persuade me, it's useless. I just want to go."
Brother Fu's obsession with food is even better than Fu Changli's obsession with wine making.
He has tasted all the delicacies in Huainan Prefecture.
I also developed many new dishes myself.
It stands to reason.
He had consumed so much spiritual material during Qi refining that he couldn't digest it at all, but his physique was extremely special. Almost all of it would be converted into his own magic power soon after he ate it.
so.
Almost everyone in the clan can't see how he practices, but his cultivation has been rising steadily, especially in the past few years in the fiefdom, coupled with Yaoyao's pampering, he even ate second-level spiritual materials. A lot of it goes into the stomach.
He has just passed his twenties and has already entered the late stage of Qi refining.
Rich brother has almost no sense.
Fu Changsheng was worried about this child, but he did not refuse him face to face.
Each church member recommended one or two of his own disciples, and there were sixteen of them.
Fu Changsheng said:
"In this case, third brother, you are going to hold a clan competition. After everyone has discussed the content of the clan competition, it will be given to the clan members below. This time, there is no limit to the ones recommended by everyone. All the children of the Fu family can participate. The first and second place will be selected at that time. Name.”
"Yes, Master!"
Fu Changli smiled and agreed.
I am very busy now, but this is also a symbol of the prosperity of the family.
Everyone decided on the content of the competition on the spot. There were three games in total. The first one was a hunt at Shiwanda Mountain, the second one was set in Wanguiyuan, and the content of the third game was decided by the head of the family and kept secret for the time being.
The discussion is over.
After everyone retreated.
Fu Changsheng said:
"Mo Lan, come with me." The two of them arrived at the clan's treasure pavilion. Fu Changsheng held the clan head's jade seal in his hand and went directly to the small secret room on the innermost floor. After the secret room was opened, he saw a treasure box suspended in the middle. conspicuous.
Fu Changsheng hit the family master's jade seal with a spell, and with a buzzing sound, a ray of spiritual light fell into the treasure box, and the restrictions that bound the treasure box were instantly dispersed.
The treasure box floats towards Fu Molan:
"Molan, please open it and take a look"
"Yes, Master"
Treasure hidden in the secret room.
Certainly extraordinary.
Fu Molan was somewhat excited, but also a little expectant.
The box opens.
But I saw a third-level spiritual weapon placed inside:
"Zhenshan Seal!"
Fu Molan's eyes lit up.
The Zhenshan Seal is the treasure of the Cao family.
Fu Changsheng said:
"When you go to the imperial capital this time, the clan can bring you this spiritual weapon. While there is still time, you should seize the time to practice it."
Fu Molan was moved.
After all, this spiritual weapon could be regarded as a clan treasure, but the head of the family gave it to her without hesitation.
This is the owner's recognition of her.
Fu Molan immediately handed over his hand and said:
"Master, please rest assured. When we get to the imperial capital, I will definitely not embarrass our Fu family."
"It doesn't matter whether you are embarrassed or not. When you arrive in the imperial capital, especially when you enter Dazhou Academy, they are all the proud ones of heaven. Don't put too much pressure on them. Remember, safety is the most important thing."
Fu Changsheng gave a few instructions.
After coming out of the treasure house, Fu Changsheng summoned Fu Yongrui and Fu Yongfan to the family head's mansion.
When Fu Yongfan received the message, Yulian just came back to share the content of the meeting with him, and said with a bit of excitement:
"Husband, the elders said at the meeting that they will use the 200,000 spirit stones from the clan for the Yongning Chamber of Commerce's foundation-building elixir bidding. Husband, there is hope for your foundation-building."
these years.
Yulian was afraid that her husband would develop an inferiority complex.
Be careful in everything you do.
Now the couple is finally able to see the moonlight when the clouds clear.
Yu Lian choked up and said:
"My mother has always been thinking about your foundation building. If she can hold on for a few more years and see you succeed in building the foundation, her wish will be fulfilled."
Fu Yongfan patted Yulian on the shoulder.
The last four years.
He found that his cultivation speed had obviously accelerated a lot, especially in the recent period. Vaguely, he felt that the speed at which he absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was roughly the same as that of the three spiritual roots.
But these years.
He has always stayed in the clan.
There were no adventures.
The only difference is that his father took him to Shengxian Terrace to re-test his spiritual roots four years ago.
But.
what happened during the period.
But he couldn't remember it.
Now that he thought about it carefully, it was probably because of his father that he was able to improve his spiritual root qualifications. However, he just thought about this in his mind. Although he was curious, he did not go to the Ascension Platform to test the spiritual roots to verify his conjecture.
also.
Even Yulian didn't tell her.
Just as he was thinking about it, the messenger jade talisman around his waist suddenly lit up.
On the side, Yulian heard that it was her father who asked her husband to go to the family head's mansion. Her eyes lit up slightly and she subconsciously grabbed Fu Yongfan's right hand:
"Husband, my father has been in Huaibei Mansion for four years. Do you think he has prepared the Foundation Establishment Pill for you in advance?!"
If so.
Then they don't have to worry about not being able to bid for the Foundation Establishment Pill in the auction.
Fu Yongfan didn't like to make random guesses about his father's thoughts. He shook his head and said:
"My father doesn't necessarily call me to discuss the Foundation Establishment Pill."
"Is it possible that father wants you to participate in the Da Zhou Academy quota competition?!"
Yulian was shocked.
Afraid that Fu Yongfan would agree, he hurriedly said:
"Husband, although the places in Dazhou Academy are rare, they are not something we can afford. In a few years, we will all be grandparents. You must not be impulsive."
"What are you thinking about"
A smile appeared on Fu Yongfan's usually solemn face.
After he entered the spiritual practice, he has been managing the family affairs and has no experience in life-and-death combat. No matter what, he will not be able to get this quota:
"I'll go first. My father will be waiting impatiently for a while."
Said.
Fu Yongfan walked out quickly.
Yulian couldn't stay in the room, so she went to the back mountain to talk to her mother about the matter.
other side.
On the bank of an underground river in the clan.
Fu Yongrui was sitting cross-legged and meditating when a faint sound of footsteps sounded. Fu Yongrui's eyes suddenly opened and he showed a rare smile to the visitor:
"Yunfeng, you're here"
This person is none other than Liu Yunfeng, one of the three protons of the Liu family in Taiyun County, Jingzhou.
Liu Yunfeng patted the storage bag, and a food box appeared in a flash. The food box had nine layers in total. There were snacks, sugar, water, steamed vegetables, and large dishes. They were still warm. They had obviously been freshly cooked.
Fu Yongrui couldn't wait to take a bite of Qianyu Cake and said with a smile:
"Yunfeng, your cooking skills have improved a lot."
Liu Yunfeng put out the food boxes one by one. She didn't eat anything herself, but kept picking up food for the other party.
Took a few bites.
Fu Yongrui noticed that Liu Yunfeng was a little preoccupied and hurriedly said:
"Yunfeng, have you heard some rumors again and are you thinking wildly?"
Fu Yongrui straightened the person upright, looked directly into Liu Yunfeng's eyes, and said solemnly:
"Yunfeng, don't worry. I have reached the peak of Qi refining now. I heard that the clan is also preparing to bid for the Foundation Establishment Pill. When the time comes for me to establish the Foundation, the first thing I will do is ask my father to agree to our marriage."
Liu Yunfeng shook his head.
That wasn't what she was worried about.
She bit her lip and said:
"Brother Rui, I heard that the clan is going to hold a martial arts competition, and the two winners will be able to enter the Great Zhou Academy."
So that’s what happened.
Fu Yongrui shook his head and said:
"Yunfeng, you don't have to worry about this. I heard that Brother Fu also wants to go. In any case, the spot won't fall to me. And what will you do if I leave? I won't participate in this martial arts competition."
Hearing this, Liu Yunfeng showed a smile on his face, but he just advised:
"Brother Rui, I heard that entering the Great Zhou Academy can change your destiny. You have such good cultivation qualifications, and you have never slacked off in your cultivation. This Great Zhou Academy is a great opportunity for you. If you seize it, If you stay here, you can leave this remote place in Huainan. With your qualifications, you should not be trapped in this low place.”
"Yunfeng, do you want me to sign up too?!"
"Well, you must not only sign up, but also do your best to get this quota. Brother Rui, do you still remember what you said to me? Strength is the most important thing in this world, and Dazhou Academy is a springboard for you. You fly high and go further on the road of cultivation.”
Fu Yongrui was lying when he said he wasn't moved.
But as soon as he left.
As a proton, Liu Yunfeng was even more isolated and helpless.
He shook his head hurriedly and said:
"No, I can't leave you alone"
"Brother Rui, I'm still young and can afford to wait. If you really get a place in Dazhou Academy, wouldn't it be better if you return home in fine clothes and marry me in a glorious way? Don't worry, you have taught me so much over the years. Mine, I have mastered it. Even if I stay alone in the Fu family, I can live a good life. But this opportunity is only once, so I can't regret it for the rest of my life."
Fu Yongrui suffered ten years of inhuman torture when he was a child.
So after embarking on the path of spiritual practice.
He just wants to become stronger.
Only when you become strong enough can you protect yourself and the people you care about.
He hesitated for a moment.
Fu Yongrui nodded and said:
"Okay, I listen to you."
After finishing the food in the food box, a rapid beep suddenly came from his waist, and when he heard it, Fu Changsheng summoned him.
Liu Yunfeng immediately became excited:
"Brother Rui, the head of the family is probably calling you now to mention the affairs of Dazhou Academy. You must behave well in front of the head of the family."
Although Fu Yongrui was considered an adopted son.
But after all, they are not biological.
Plus, they are not from the Fu family.
Therefore, Fu Yongrui is self-aware and has never relied on his status as the heir of the family master to act arbitrarily in the clan. Instead, because of his status, he has been cautious in everything in order not to embarrass and disappoint his father.
Fu Yongrui came up from the underground river and arrived at the door of the head of the family's house. He saw that Fu Yongfan had already arrived. Fu Changsheng was sitting at the head of the meeting hall. Fu Yongrui cupped his hand:
"I've met my father, I've met my eldest brother"
"Well, sit down"
Fu Changsheng motioned for the two of them to sit down.
A magic spell hit the magic circle in the conference hall, and the magic circle's light curtain surged and closed instantly in the next moment.
Fu Yongfan and Fu Yongrui, who were present, saw the battle and clearly had something important to say, and they became a little nervous.
Fu Changsheng did not beat around the bush and said directly:
"I called you here today because I have two foundation-building pills in my hands. You have also reached the peak of Qi refining. It's time to build the foundation."
Fu Yongfan's eyes lit up.
Yulian really guessed it.
He quickly stood up and bowed, and said excitedly:
"Thank you, father. The child will not disappoint his father."
"Hmm"
Fu Changsheng nodded slightly, and his eyes fell on the hesitant Fu Yongrui. Although he had rescued this adopted son from a gangster, he didn't get along with him much. At this time, he was not even excited when he heard about the Foundation Establishment Pill.
I was stunned for a moment.
but.
Then I thought about it.
He guessed a reason:
"Brother Rui, do you want to enter Dazhou Academy?"
Fu Yongrui has dark spiritual roots and a resolute and hard-working personality. It is not impossible to enter Dazhou Academy.
but.
I'm afraid the clan won't agree.
After all, Fu Yongrui does not have the blood of the Fu family, and he has not had much contact with his clan members in recent years. It is okay to stay in the clan, but if he goes to Da Zhou Academy, he will easily be recruited by other forces.
In the Fu family.
But there's nothing about him worth remembering.
Fu Yongrui couldn't make up his mind for a while. One was the opportunity to enter Dazhou Academy, and the other was to build a foundation immediately and marry Yunfeng home.
