As the chief steward, Fu Changren knew very clearly how much everyone in the clan had contributed, so he pondered for a while and said:
"How about setting the contribution value for exchanging the Foundation Establishment Pill at 10,000?"
The amount of 10,000 will not be too high and prohibitive, nor will it be too low. Without second-level skills, it will be difficult to accumulate 10,000 contribution points. From a certain perspective, this is It is prepared for tribesmen with potential.
Everyone looked at each other.
The final vote was without objection.
Seeing this, Fu Changren mentioned another matter:
"Family Master, while you are in seclusion, the memorial arch of the Ninth Grade Family gifted by the imperial court is already located at the mountain gate, waiting for you to come out and unveil the plaque. The day after tomorrow is an auspicious day at noon. Family Master, do you think you can choose this day to unveil the plaque?"
The family archway gifted by the imperial court is a status symbol.
certainly.
Another point is that the family archway itself is a third-level spiritual weapon, and it contains the power of the imperial court, which can deter the evil spirits of the family.
"Well, let's choose the day after tomorrow."
Fu Changsheng nodded slightly.
This time it was rare for the elders to gather together. Everyone discussed different topics for a long time before they dispersed. Fu Changsheng left Runzhi and Fu Changli behind.
Liu Runzhi and Fu Changli looked at each other.
There was excitement in their eyes. The head of the family specifically announced the criteria for exchanging Foundation Establishment Pills, and left the two of them who just met the conditions for Foundation Establishment. Could it be that there are still Foundation Establishment Pills in the clan?
Think about this.
Both of their breathing became rapid.
If we can build the foundation.
That would extend one hundred years of life, which is what many low-level monks dream of.
The two of them looked at Fu Changsheng eagerly, hoping that the other person would speak quickly, but they were also vaguely worried.
Fu Changsheng did not whet the appetite of the two of them and said directly:
"Mo Lan and I went out before and were lucky enough to get a few foundation-building pills. As you can see, one of them has been given to Mei Zhen. I plan to distribute the remaining two pills to you two. You have been in the clan for many years. The contribution value has also reached 10,000. After the plaque is unveiled in the future, you two will not have to leave the clan area and choose to retreat here. I hope you can break through to the foundation building stage in one fell swoop. "
Hear the words.
Fu Changli reacted very quickly, immediately stood up from his position, cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you very much for the reward, Master, Changli will definitely live up to the expectations of the Master."
Fu Changli's voice brought Liu Runzhi back from the huge surprise. Unlike Fu Changli, she joined the Fu family halfway. Although she had worked hard over the years, the blood flowing through her body was not the blood of the Fu family. She never expected that , the head of the family really distributed such an important foundation-building pill to himself.
For a while.
His eyes were red with emotion.
This moment.
For the head of the family and the Fu family, she completely recognized and surrendered from the bottom of her heart, instead of being grateful and looking for a place to stay at the beginning.
Liu Runzhi bowed to the ground.
Right now.
The familiar mechanical voice sounded in Fu Changsheng's mind again:
"bite"
"Liu Runzhi completely surrenders to you and the Fu family and gets thirty family contribution points."
Immediately afterwards.
The contribution value on the panel instantly jumped from one hundred to one hundred and thirty.
The day after tomorrow.
A good and auspicious time.
Fu Changsheng led everyone, first opened the ancestral hall, and after offering sacrifices, they came all the way to the mountain gate.
A sixty-foot-high archway stands at the mountain gate.
The entire archway was covered with red cloth.
But the supreme power contained within cannot be concealed.
Stand under the archway.
It was as if he had truly met the monarch, and he felt a sense of awe.
As Fu Changren read the memorial inscription, he sang "Nai".
Fu Changsheng stepped forward and unveiled the red cloth with his own hands.
Under the gaze of everyone.
A simple and solemn archway of the Ninth Grade Family emerges in front of you.
The entire archway is carved from the finest Han Ling white jade. The plaque is carved with dragons and phoenixes, which embodies the power of the heavenly family. Two stone lions guard the sides of the archway, lifelike, as if they will jump out at any time.
Fu Changsheng had an idea.
The jade seal of the ninth-grade family floated out.
Along with him, he drove a spell into the jade seal.
Buzz!
But I saw a spiritual light falling from the jade seal into the archway. The archway trembled slightly, and then lit up with a bang. The color of the light was exactly the same as the red color of the jade seal of the ninth-grade family. The entire Luofeng Mountain and Niushou Mountain were covered in this red color. Shrouded in clouds and mist.
Fu Changli, who was watching the ceremony, pointed in the air and exclaimed:
"Look, is that the phantom of the dragon?"
Everyone looked up.
But I saw it above their clan mountain.
Sure enough, a red dragon can be seen looming.
at this moment.
The Fu family has truly entered the ranks of ninth-grade aristocratic families.
Today's plaque unveiling ceremony, except for the tribesmen in the fiefdom, the rest of the tribe gathered here. After completing the plaque unveiling ceremony, Fu Changren taught the younger generation the history of the family's development. First, let future generations know that the Fu family can It is not easy to get to this point. The second is to inspire future generations to keep up the good work, and the third is to unite the whole family as a whole.
Fu Changsheng just stood for a while and then quietly retreated.
these two days.
After specifically reading the plan for creating a market that Fu Yongshang submitted, he was extremely satisfied.
but.
Once the market is established.
It was undoubtedly a foolish dream to rely solely on the strength of the Fu family to stabilize this market, so he had to go to Shangguan's house and personally convince Shangguan Feng.
Arriving from Nanyang County to Anyang County, with his strength in the late stage of foundation building, if he flew at full speed, he would arrive in less than half an hour.
Arrive at Shangguan family land.
Seeing that it was Fu Changsheng, the guard came forward to say hello warmly. After passing the message to Shangguan Peak, he personally took Fu Changsheng to the cave gate of Shangguan Peak.
"Here you go, little brother."
Fu Changsheng stuffed a box almost invisible and handed it to the other party.
The guard quickly stuffed the box into his sleeve and smiled with his eyebrows creasing:
"Clan Chief Fu, the great elder is waiting inside. You can go in."
Enter the cave.
But he saw Shangguan Feng sitting at the head of the living room, thinking about something with his eyebrows raised. When he saw Fu Changsheng come in, he pointed to a chair aside for him to sit down.
Fu Changsheng had no ink marks.
He directly stated his intention.
When Shangguan Feng heard this, his eyes lit up:
"Creating a market is a good idea, but the actual construction is not simple. It requires both spiritual veins and a mountain-protecting formation. In addition, it needs high-level monks to guard it. Especially since your Yunshan County is built with hundreds of thousands of mountains and east The land bordering the wilderness is inherently dangerous."
Fu Changsheng handed the revised Fu Yongshang's plan to Shangguanfeng:
"Uncle Feng, high risks bring high returns. Because of Yunshan County's special geographical location, once the market is built, there is no need to worry about the customer base. The difficulty is just how to defend the market from being divided by other forces."
Shangguan Feng knocked on the table and narrowed his eyes slightly:
"We in Huainan Mansion currently have four major eighth-grade aristocratic families. If we want to truly make the city run, we must recruit another one."
The Fu family and the Gongsun family are not dealing with each other, which is obviously impossible. The relationship between the Shangguan family and the Nangong family is also average, so out of the remaining three eighth-grade families, the low-key Shi family is the only one left.
Fu Changsheng has not yet had contact with anyone from the Shi family.
I only knew that the Shi family had always been very low-key in their conduct, but I didn't know that the other party was not attracted to this piece of cake.
Shangguan Feng said:
"Changsheng, I will contact the Shi family. If the other party is willing to help, then the construction of this city can be started. But if the Shi family does not have this intention, then only you, the Fu family, will be promoted to the eighth rank and then slowly take care of it. "
Speaking of which.
Shangguan Feng paused for a moment, then his eyes fell on Fu Changsheng:
"Changsheng, you have now broken through to the late stage of foundation building. It is also time to start preparing for the opening of the Purple Mansion. And if you want to know the secret of the Purple Mansion, based on the current situation of our Dazhou Cultivation World, you can only become an eighth-grade aristocratic family. Know the secret."
Although he also wanted to tell Fu Changsheng.
But the laws of the court did not allow him to reveal anything.
"Thank you Uncle Feng for your advice."
Fu Changsheng stood up and thanked him with his hands.
He is only at the seventh level of foundation building now, and there is still some time before he can break through to the peak of foundation building. During this period, as long as the clan members work together, it should not be a problem to advance to the eighth level.
What he was more worried about was the demon cave that was about to break out:
"Uncle Feng, do you have any information about monsters in your hand? The Demon Cave is about to break out. I want to familiarize the tribesmen with it first, so as not to be unprepared after going to the battlefield." Shangguan Feng patted the storage bag, and the glow flashed. , and instantly a jade slip floated towards Fu Changsheng:
"This jade slip records the characteristics of the monsters that our Shangguan family encountered in the Demon Cave last time. However, the reason why the monsters are called demons is that they are strange and changeable. Especially after the second outbreak, I am afraid that this Demon Cave will be even worse. It's complicated, and the monsters are even weirder, so just take a look at this jade slip and don't form a fixed mindset."
Fu Changsheng thanked him quickly.
Shangguan Feng said:
"Since we are going to build a city, it is best to complete the construction before the Demon Cave erupts. Otherwise, once the Demon Cave erupts, our major families will not be able to spare any manpower. Changsheng, would you like to go to the Shi Family with me?"
"Everything must be obeyed by Uncle Feng"
The two immediately left Shangguan's house and arrived at the gate of Shijia Mountain.
The Shi family's eighth-grade aristocratic archway looked more majestic than their ninth-grade one, directly ten feet higher. The two of them waited at the mountain gate for a while.
Accompanied by the formation light curtain surging.
However, Patriarch Shi, dressed as an old farmer, came to greet him in person:
"The presence of two fellow Taoists in this humble abode is truly a blessing. Please come inside and please come inside."
Patriarch Shi had an honest and honest look on his face, and there was no spiritual energy fluctuation in his body. Fu Changsheng subconsciously used his magic power to activate his eyes, but he saw a flash of spiritual light in his eyes. When it fell on Patriarch Stone again, he could feel the vast mana of the other party. , like Shangguan Feng, he is already at the peak of foundation building.
Fu Changsheng felt awe-inspiring in his heart.
Patriarch Shi lives in seclusion.
And he has practiced a secret technique that hides the aura of cultivation.
Many people don't know what his specific cultivation level is. If his eyes were not wiped with Mingqing Spiritual Water and obtained the strangeness, he would not be able to detect the opponent's cultivation level at this moment.
Fu Changsheng just glanced at it and then looked away.
However, Patriarch Shi noticed it immediately and looked at Fu Changsheng meaningfully. After the three of them sat down, the servants served tea. Patriarch Shi looked at Fu Changsheng with some admiration and said with a smile:
"Clan Leader Fu has already broken through to the late stage of foundation building at a young age. He is a formidable young man. Fellow Daoist Shangguan, it seems that we will never be able to do it if we don't accept it."
A thirty-nine-year-old monk in the late stages of foundation building.
This is not common in their state. If this son had not died on the way, it would have been entirely possible for him to become a major cultivator of the Zi Mansion. Otherwise, he would not have gone out to greet him in person.
The three chatted for a while.
Shangguan Feng cast a soundproofing spell, then patted the storage bag and handed the information about the creation of Fang City submitted by Fu Changsheng to Chief Shi.
Patriarch Shi opened it and took a look.
His eyebrows were raised.
Fu Changsheng checked the other party's face, but saw that the other party did not show any expression of agreement or disagreement. Looking at Shangguan Feng, Shangguan Feng was also present, looking calm and relaxed.
I couldn't help but sigh.
It seems that facing these old monsters that have lived for almost a hundred years.
His city skills are still too shallow.
After a while.
Patriarch Shi then put down the jade slip and stroked his beard and said:
"Two Taoist friends, you must also know that our Shi family has always been low-key in doing things. This time we are creating a market with great fanfare, which is not in line with our Shi family's style of doing things."
The implication.
Can talk.
But enough benefits are needed to make them tempted.
On the way here.
Shangguan Feng and Fu Changsheng have already talked about the income from the market, because what they have to guard against is not only the attacks of monsters from Shiwanda Mountain, but also the tribes in the Eastern Wasteland and other jealous people who have not been able to get a piece of the pie. Aristocratic family, so if the Shi family wants to make a big contribution, they must have enough benefits to impress the other party.
Shangguan Feng said solemnly:
"Chief Shi, you also know that I am a person. I never like to mince words when talking and doing things. Fangshi was originally built in the land of the Changsheng Clan, and the plan was drawn up by the Fu family, so the income from Fangshi is divided into four, three, and three. In addition, Fangshi is built The manpower and material resources will be shared equally among the three of us. If you agree, please nod. This is the greatest sincerity we can show. "
Except that the Fu family is the host and gets 10% more income.
Patriarch Shi was obviously stunned for a moment.
He originally thought that the Shi family would only get 20% of the profit from participating, but he did not expect that the Shangguan family and the Fu family would be so generous and generous, and the profit would be almost equally divided among the three families.
Once the market really starts to move.
That was a huge sum of money, and he couldn't help but be tempted.
certainly.
There is a more important reason.
There are currently only four eighth-grade aristocratic families in the entire Huainan Mansion.
Some time ago.
He received the message, and the Gongsun family was jumping up and down, apparently having reached an alliance with another eighth-grade family, the Nangong family.
at the moment.
The Shi family has only one choice, and that is to unite with the Shangguan family. Otherwise, the Nangong family and the Gongsun family have the final say at the eighth-grade family meeting.
If the alliance wants to cooperate closely, the most reliable way is through interest bundling. The emergence of this city is undoubtedly just right.
Patriarch Shi laughed:
"Fellow Daoist Shangguan and Patriarch Fu have given up such huge benefits. If I, Shi, continue to disagree, then I will really be what others call a stinky stone who doesn't know how to adapt!"
Fu Changsheng couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
This way.
Then the Fu family would have an eighth-grade family as a backer, which was why he was willing to give up so much profit.
The three discussed the city's construction agenda.
The opinions of the three people are extremely unified. Since the city is to be built, it is natural to let the other forces have the final say and implement the matter first before they can react. In this way, when the other party reacts and wants to destroy it, they have already done it. It's too late.
Chief Shi said:
"Now that the location has been determined, what do you two fellow Taoists think about the mountain-protecting formation in Fang City?"
Since you ask.
Patriarch Shi must have made up his mind.
really.
The next moment.
Chief Shi said:
"In the land bordering Shiwanda Mountain and the Eastern Wasteland, ordinary second-level magic formations cannot be defended. Therefore, the mountain-protecting formation in Fang City must be a set of third-level magic formations. To be honest, we, the great elder of the Shi family, He is a third-level array mage, and he has a third-level three-flower blue prison array in his hand."
"This Three-flower Blue Prison Formation integrates offense and defense. It is the fusion of the Moving Wood Confusion Formation and the Flowing Light Sword and Shadow Formation. Once this formation is deployed, even third-level monsters or purple mansion overhauls can defend it."
"but"
"The operation of this formation requires at least the second-order top-quality spiritual veins as its source."
"The formation is provided by our Shi family, and the second-level top-quality spiritual veins require two Taoists to work together to improve it. What do the two Taoists think of this suggestion?"
A set of third-level magic array is rare and hard to come by, and it also integrates offense and defense. This is enough to show the sincerity of the Shi family. Fu Changsheng and Shangguan Feng naturally nodded repeatedly.
The two discussed for a while.
Shangguan Feng and Fu Changsheng said:
"Changsheng, how many spiritual stones can your Fu family produce?"
The site they chose was a Feilong Mountain guarded by second-level monsters. There was a second-level low-grade spiritual vein in the mountain. To upgrade it to the second-level top grade, it would require at least nearly 200,000 spiritual stones.
Fu Changsheng said truthfully:
"Uncle Feng, our Fu family can only produce 60,000 spirit stones now."
"Okay, the rest will come from our Shangguan family, but we won't give the old guys from the Shangguan family anything to talk about. Changsheng, you lead your tribe to clear out Feilong Mountain first."
The second-level flying dragon beast is entrenched on Feilong Mountain.
Because this beast has two pairs of wings on its body, it is extremely fast and is good at aerial combat. There are four second-level flying dragon beasts on Feilong Mountain.
Shangguan Feng paused:
"Changsheng, can your Fu family handle it?"
The flying dragon beast is a social monster. In addition to the second level, there are also many first level existences.
So Shangguanfeng was still worried that the Fu family wouldn't be able to cope with it.
Fu Changsheng has broken through to the late stage of foundation building, and is thinking about trying the power of the transformed purple energy divine light and evil-proofing divine thunder. To deal with the second-level monsters, if you slowly figure it out, it should not be a big problem:
"Uncle Feng, I'm going to investigate first. If I can't handle it, I'll ask you for help."
"It's too dangerous for you to be alone. Anyway, you have to pass through Tianlong City to go to Feilong Mountain. You should bring Hongyu with you. It's always good to have someone to help take care of you."
"good"
Fu Changsheng did not refuse.
The construction of the market by the three companies must be carried out secretly.
So when they came to Shi's house, they used the invisibility technique. After they separated, they went to Feilong Mountain through Luofeng Mountain, so he took Mo Lan with him.
Mo Lan spent six years refining the bone-cold spirit fire, and then directly broke through to the fourth level of foundation building. This surprised Fu Changsheng, but he thought that the bone-cold spirit fire was the eighth one on the list of strange fires. If there are many people, it feels reasonable.
On the way to Feilong Mountain.
He still had the same thought as before:
"Exchange information!"
