Seeing the first three pieces of intelligence information.
Fu Changsheng was delighted.
Counting Meizhen's two-headed green-eyed giant python, the fourth sister's Huanyufeng queen bee, plus his spiritual pet Xiaoqing, the millipede mother, the autumn cicada, and the soul-eating insect.
There are six spiritual pets in the clan that have reached the second level:
"I wonder if the second-level spiritual pet counts towards the fifteen foundation-building monks' quota for promotion to the eighth-grade family?"
I forgot to ask before.
If it counts.
Then their Fu family, plus him and Molan, will have eight quotas, and seven more people will meet this condition:
"I'll ask Hongyu when the time comes"
Press down the question in his heart.
Fu Changsheng continued to read:
[4: In the ink box on the north side of the palace in the inner layer of the Duolong Lake ruins, there is well-preserved Dan-condensing water]
[5: The Gongsun family has been preparing for many years for the ruins owner's heavenly body refining technique "Nine Heavens Star Art"]
[6: There is also a bone spirit cold fire left by the cave owner in the Duolong Lake ruins. The bone spirit cold fire can freeze everything. It ranks 86th in the list of strange fires. For cultivators who practice ice-attribute techniques, this thing can increase the success rate of opening up the purple mansion by 30% after refining it]
[7:.]
A total of ten pieces of information were exchanged.
When his eyes fell on the fourth piece of information.
Fu Changsheng's eyes lit up.
Dan-condensing water is a good thing. According to Elder Qin, a drop of Dan-condensing water can increase the success rate of Dan by 30%. If he can get the Dan-condensing water in the ruins, then when Shi Shutong and Mei Zhen refine the foundation-building pill, the success rate will be greatly improved.
It is really hard to find a foundation-building main medicine.
Therefore, before he was sure, Fu Changsheng decided not to take out the spiritual medicine.
In addition.
To increase the success rate, of course, it is undoubtedly the best strategy to let Mei Zhen break through to the second-level alchemist first.
Shi Shutong had refined the second-level inferior Qi-recovering pill in the Yunteng tribe. With this pill recipe in hand, when he went to Wanning Chamber of Commerce three days later, he could buy a few furnaces of Qi-recovering pills and let Mei Zhen refine them.
Only if the foundation-building pill is successfully refined.
Their tribe will have the hope of completing the fifteen foundation-building quotas in the shortest time. Otherwise, if it depends on the auction of Wanning Chamber of Commerce, it is unknown when it will take.
When his eyes fell on the fifth piece of information.
When he saw the four words "Heaven-level Gongfa", Fu Changsheng couldn't help but take a breath and murmured:
"What is so powerful about this "Nine Heavens Star Art" that it can reach the Heaven-level level"
No wonder the Gongsun family spent more than ten years in this place.
If this news is leaked out.
I'm afraid that all the cultivators of the Great Zhou will flock here and immediately stage a bloody storm:
"The intelligence did not provide the specific location of the "Nine Heavens Star Art""
In this way.
Then entering the ruins, everything depends on chance.
When I saw the sixth piece of information.
Fu Changsheng's throat rolled:
"Bone Spirit Cold Fire?! 30% success rate of Purple Mansion!"
And this strange fire is actually ranked 86th on the list. Others may not be able to refine it, but Mo Lan has an ice attribute spiritual root.
Bone Spirit Cold Fire must be seized!
Fu Changsheng took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and then continued to read on, but the following information was some irrelevant information, compared with the previous few pieces of information.
Rested in the guest room for two days.
Suddenly.
He felt a wave of fluctuations coming from the family jade seal in his body.
With a thought.
The family jade seal floated in front of him.
At this time.
The aura of the family jade seal surged.
Fu Changsheng carefully recalled Cao Xianger's instructions, and then he remembered that the family seal had such a scene, which was a sign of the convening of the Nine-Rank Family Meeting.
He pressed the seal with his right hand.
Fu Changsheng cast a spell into the family seal.
Instantly.
A hazy white light enveloped him.
The next moment.
He felt his consciousness fall into a circular dojo.
On the left side of the dojo.
Suddenly, a beam of light fell, and the person with the beam of light was Lin Tianfu.
Family meeting.
It was a projection of consciousness.
This was the first time Fu Changsheng encountered it, and it was somewhat strange.
Lin Tianfu on the side bowed and said:
"Fellow Daoist Fu, congratulations on your Fu family's promotion to the ninth rank"
"Thank you, Brother Lin"
Fu Changsheng glanced and saw that the others had not arrived yet, so he quickly sent a message:
"Brother Lin, do you know why the meeting was suddenly called?"
Lin Tianfu raised his eyebrows in surprise and said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Fu, you are too uninformed. You are in Wanning Market and don't know what happened. Just half an hour ago, the Shangguan family was officially canonized as an eighth-rank family"
"Although the canonization order has not been issued yet"
"But I have heard in advance that your Fu family and I will be divided under the jurisdiction of the Shangguan family, and the original eighth-rank Gongsun family will still govern the He family, the Cao family and the Ping family. As for the eighth-rank Shi family, it will still be under the jurisdiction of the Cui family, the Qi family, and the Hong family."
Being able to belong to the jurisdiction of the Shangguan family.
Fu Changsheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After all.
Now Uncle Feng has the final say over the Shangguan Family, at least the Shangguan Family will not embarrass the Fu Family.
However, he was somewhat puzzled:
"Brother Lin, according to what you said, wouldn't there only be one Liang Family under the rule of the Eighth-Rank Nangong Family?"
"According to reasoning, that's the case. As for how the four Eighth-Rank Aristocratic Families and the Zhenshi Division negotiated, I don't know."
While the two were talking.
But they saw beams of light falling.
In the blink of an eye.
The heads of the other seven Ninth-Rank Aristocratic Families followed one after another.
in.
Fu Changsheng could sense that three rays of hostility with murderous intent were falling on him. When he raised his eyes, he saw that it was the Ping family, the Cao family and the He family.
Although Chief Ping was seriously injured, his consciousness was not damaged, so no one could see the reason at this time. At this moment, the other party quickly communicated with the Cao family and the head of the He family:
"Brother Cao, Brother He, what do you think about the Fu family being promoted to the ninth rank?"
Patriarch Cao still felt resentful about the fact that Patriarch Ping fled halfway when he attacked the Yunteng tribe, resulting in one death and one injury in the Cao family. He snorted coldly and didn't want to talk to him at all.
The new patriarch He is an all-rounder.
Quick voice transmission:
"Both brothers, you must have heard that the Fu family has been transferred to the eighth-rank Shangguan family. Fu Changsheng is kind to Shangguan Feng and his daughter, who are now the helmsmen of the Shangguan family. With the Shangguan family protecting the Fu family, we should not act rashly. For good."
Hear the words
Chief Ping and Chief Cao became even more depressed.
Especially Chief Ping, he just learned that the Fu family had completely plundered Pingshan County under their rule, but now there was only one left in the Ping family who could build the foundation.
Even if you are extremely dissatisfied and wronged, you can only break your teeth and swallow the blood.
He now only places his hope on the Canglan secret realm that is about to open. Whether the Ping family can turn around depends on this.
Patriarch Cao also meant the same thing, so he nodded slightly.
After everyone gathers.
The head of the Cui family was the first to speak:
"Everyone, we are gathered here today. One is to congratulate our Huainan Prefecture Jiupin family for adding a new member, the Fu family. The other is to discuss how to distribute the income of the five shops in Wanningfang City and Wanguiyuan. Do you have any advice?"
In the past.
The Shangguan family supported the meeting of the Nine-Rank Family.
Now the Shangguan family has left.
As the most powerful Cui family, they naturally took over the position of the head of the ninth-grade family.
The Cui family is under the rule of the Shi family, an eighth-grade aristocratic family. They have always kept a low profile. They usually stay silent during family meetings. However, as soon as the Shangguan family left, the Cui family was the first to jump to the stage.
but.
The Cui family's strength is there.
In addition, the Cui family's attitude was quite acceptable, and the heads of the other eight families had tacitly accepted the other party's position as the head of the new ninth-grade family.
Patriarch Cui just finished speaking.
Chief Ping immediately answered:
"Since the Shangguan family has left, we can just divide his family's income into our names according to the original distribution ratio. No other distribution plan is needed."
The implication.
Just don't count the newly promoted Fu family in the ninth rank.
Patriarch Liang glanced at Fu Changsheng who was standing aside, and spoke helpfully:
"Chief Ping's words are wrong. Since the old family has left and new blood has joined, the distribution of interests will naturally have to be re-divided."
The Liang family also promoted a foundation builder not long ago.
The strength is stronger than before, and it has entered the top three among the nine major families. Naturally, the interests must be re-divided.
Chief Ping said with a loud voice:
"When the boundary between Wanningfang City and Wanguiyuan was built, the Fu family did not contribute any effort. Even if he was promoted to ninth rank, he would not be qualified to share these two benefits."
The sun has set on the Taira family.
The strength is not as good as before.
Of course, they are afraid of re-dividing interests.
Patriarch Liang smiled sarcastically:
"Chief Ping, if I remember correctly, Wanningfang City was built by the imperial court, and the Wanguiyuan Barrier was also led by the imperial court. The eighth-grade family was the main force. At that time, your Ping family was just a helper. With your actions, He said that all the income from the five shops in Wanningfang City and Wan Guiyuan should be paid to the imperial court and the eighth-grade family. "
Patriarch Ping was so angry that he was almost speechless.
For a while.
The Cao family and the He family, who were in the Heike camp, opposed the re-division of interests, because the strength of the three families had been greatly reduced, and the entire council was noisy.
Finally, Patriarch Cui coughed.
Wait for everyone to stop. Then he spoke:
"I have a suggestion. According to the information provided by the Zhenshi Secretary, the Devil's Cave will erupt again within ten years. If this is the case, the income of the five shops in Wanningfang City will not be affected for the time being. In addition, the income of Wanguiyuan will not change for the time being. It will be invested in the operation of five shops. When the Demon Cave breaks out, we will distribute the corresponding benefits based on the merits of the imperial court obtained by each family in the Demon Cave. If they agree, we will vote by a show of hands. "
Patriarch Cui made the final decision!
The words have not yet finished.
The Qi family and the Hong family, who were already in his camp, raised their hands to express their agreement. The Liang family was powerful and this plan was beneficial to him, so they naturally voted with a show of hands.
in this way.
All of a sudden, four families agreed.
Only the Ping family, the He family, the Cao family, the Fu family and the Lin family were left.
There is only one foundation builder in the Ping family who can play, and he has just been promoted. Naturally, he does not agree with this plan.
The Cao family and the He family were also much less powerful than before, and they remained silent and did not agree with this decision.
The only ones left are the Lin family and the Fu family.
Lin Tianfu hesitated.
After all, there were only two foundation builders in the Lin family, so this plan was not a good decision for him. He wanted the nine families to share the proceeds equally, so he did not raise his hand.
So that's four versus four.
The final crucial vote fell on Fu Changsheng.
Patriarch Liang quickly sent a message:
"Clan Leader Fu, what are you waiting for? If you don't raise your hand at this time, you will be excluded according to the wishes of the Heng family ghost. You may not receive any profit at that time."
other side.
After a quick discussion, the three patriarchs, Cao, actually communicated with Lin Tianfu again.
The end.
Lin Tianfu quickly communicated with Fu Changsheng:
"Fellow Daoist Fu, just now Patriarch Ping and I heard from each other that the three families have agreed to share the proceeds equally. As long as you and I agree, then five versus four, the decision will be considered passed."
Lin Tianfu was a little excited.
After all, the nine companies share the profits equally.
This is the plan that the Lin family can get the most.
Another member of the Fu family's foundation-building tribe had only just established the foundation. The overall strength of the Fu family was not as good as that of the Lin family. Privately, it was natural that the Fu family would 100% agree with this decision.
The three patriarchs Cao also thought so.
Therefore, without waiting for Fu Changsheng's reply, he couldn't wait to say:
"Everyone, our Cao family, Ping family, He family, Lin family and Fu family have unanimously decided to share the proceeds equally among the nine families!"
As soon as this statement came out.
But he saw the anger on Patriarch Liang's face flash away.
He glared at Lin Tianfu:
"Clan Leader Lin, when the Shangguan family was here, our three families were still allies. Why, now that the Shangguan family is gone, you have gone to the Heng family's camp? Change your story immediately before the resolution is passed."
Lin Tianfu seemed not to hear.
Now that he is under the jurisdiction of the Shangguan family, and the Liang family is under the jurisdiction of the Nangong family, they are all in different camps, so the alliance will naturally break up, and the alliance is also based on interests first.
Patriarch Liang could not persuade Lin Tianfu.
He snorted coldly.
The three Cui family members looked at each other.
Patriarch Cui looked at Fu Changsheng:
"Clan Chief Fu, you didn't say a word in the meeting today."
If Patriarch Cui was slapped in the face for the first time at the abbot meeting, he would have no authority in the future. Therefore, when no one could see it, his barely visible lips moved.
He just finished speaking.
But Fu Changsheng opened his mouth and said:
"I choose what Patriarch Cui said to divide the interests according to the merits of the Demon Cave court!"
Five against four!
This way.
The plans of the three Taira clan members failed.
Chief Ping was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said:
"Fu Changsheng, there are only two foundation builders in your Fu family, and one of you has just broken through. Is your brain caught in the door?!"
In desperation.
Patriarch Ping couldn't care less about the situation.
If they really follow the first plan, then their Heike family will be at the bottom, and they may not even be able to drink soup by then.
Patriarch Liang turned his anger into joy, fearing that there would be another trouble, and said quickly:
"Brother Cui, since Patriarch Fu has made his statement, this agenda is over. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
The words have not yet finished.
But he saw the light pillar collapse directly with a bang.
Obviously fearing that it would be too late, the decision was changed.
Patriarch Cui and others also left one by one.
Patriarch Ping glared at Fu Changsheng fiercely, gritted his teeth but could do nothing to Fu Changsheng. Although he was unwilling to admit it, the Ping family was now at the end of the nine great families.
A wave of sleeves.
The boss collapsed and left.
Wait until everyone is gone.
Lin Tianfu then said:
"Clan Chief Fu, why did you make this decision just now?"
In his opinion.
The nine families share it equally, which is best for both of them.
Fu Changsheng smiled and said:
"Fellow Daoist Lin, the world of cultivation relies on strength. There is no big pot of food in the mortal world, and it is even less possible among us monks. Friend Daoist Lin, farewell!"
Several contacts with Lin Tianfu.
He could be regarded as discovering the other party's style of doing things. He might have finally established a ninth-grade family, so Lin Tianfu was cautious when doing things.
Like last time.
The original appointment to go to Caiyun Valley together suddenly changed their minds.
Another example is this time.
The three Taira families had jointly attacked the Fu family before. Even if they were not mortal enemies, they would definitely not be allies. However, Lin Tianfu believed that the Fu family had no position.
but.
This operation of the Taira family.
But it was an unexpected blessing for him to get a favor from the Cui family.
Reality.
Even if the Cui family does not take the initiative, the Fu family will not agree to the equal sharing plan. Now that the Fu family is a second-level spiritual pet, and its strength can be ranked in the middle among the nine ninth-grade families, they naturally do not agree to the equal sharing plan. .
The consciousness returns from the Ashram Council.
Fu Changsheng felt his head was buzzing, and it took him a while to calm down before he got used to it.
A few days passed.
Sure enough, I received the good news from the imperial court about the promotion of the Shangguan family and their Fu family:
"It's time to get the True Essence Pill"
The five days are up.
When coming out of the guest room.
Just in time to see Shangguan Hongyu come out of the next room, Fu Changsheng cupped his hands and said:
"Miss Hongyu, congratulations on your promotion to the eighth-grade family."
"Same joy"
Shangguan's red jade phoenix eyes were smiling and he turned around and said:
"Changsheng, when do you plan to return to the fief, we will go together together then."
Fu Changsheng felt warm in his heart.
Obviously.
Shangguan Hongyu was afraid that if he returned to the fiefdom alone, he would be ambushed like last time, so he took the initiative to return to the fiefdom together.
after all.
Now Shangguan Hongyu's identity is different.
It is an eighth-grade family.
If the other ninth-grade aristocratic families see Shangguan Hongyu walking with them, even if they have this idea, they will definitely not dare to take action again. After all, there are only four eighth-grade aristocratic families in the entire Huainan Mansion.
Although the court strictly prohibited it.
A high-class family cannot attack a low-class family.
But secretly there are countless ways to make you feel miserable and unspeakable.
There are three things a new official should do when he takes office.
No one wants to provoke the Shangguan family at this time.
Fu Changsheng cupped his hands and said:
"Miss Hongyu, if you have nothing else to do, I think I will go to the Wanning Chamber of Commerce now and then set off."
"Okay, let's meet at the Fangshi exit in half an hour."
"good!"
Come out of the inn.
Fu Changsheng went straight to the Wanning Chamber of Commerce. When the shopkeeper on the first floor saw Fu Changsheng coming, he stepped forward to greet him with a smile. Fu Changsheng took out the letter:
"Shopkeeper, please help me get the elixir."
"Fellow Daoist Fu, I have already prepared it for you. Please come this way."
The shopkeeper opened the curtain and invited Fu Changsheng to the backyard.
at this time.
The boy came in with a tray in both hands. On the tray was a white leaf-patterned elixir bottle. The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Fu, this is your True Essence elixir. Please check it carefully."
Fu Changsheng nodded slightly.
A wave of sleeves.
The elixir bottle floated towards him in an instant. When he opened the bottle cap, he saw two soybean-sized, white and green elixirs inside, which were undoubtedly the True Essence Pills.
Fu Changsheng took the elixir bottle into his arms.
He opened his mouth and said:
"Shopkeeper, do you have any elixir for refining the Qi Restoration Pill in your store?"
