The eighth-rank family was officially canonized.
But I don't know how much family contribution value the system will give.
Fu Changsheng's thoughts moved, and the family jade seal trembled slightly, and instantly sank into his body.
After taking out the communication jade talisman to inform Fu Yongfan.
In less than ten breaths, Fu Yongfan appeared in the patriarch's mansion like a gust of wind.
Promoted to the eighth-rank family.
This matter is finally settled!
Fu Yongfan, who has been calm since childhood, couldn't help but get excited. After confirming from Fu Changsheng that the imperial court had issued the canonization, he smiled with curved eyebrows:
"Father, should the date of the celebration be set on the fifteenth of next month? This month is about to pass, and there is no suitable day at the beginning of the month. The nearest one is the fifteenth of next month."
"Well, you can take care of the celebration yourself. By the way, when the invitations are sent, let your aunt Molan personally send the seventh-rank Luo family."
Once promoted to the eighth rank.
Then their Fu family will be on the same level as the Shangguan family.
If I guessed correctly, it should also be under the jurisdiction of the Luo family.
Fu Yongfan nodded:
"Father, leave these small matters to me, you can go to the Zhenshi Division to accept the canonization without worry."
Fu Yongfan wished he could see the canonization document immediately.
After watching Fu Changsheng leave, he sent a message to Mo Lan in Yunxiao Mountain, and then went to the Water Curtain Cave in the back mountain without stopping.
After taking the Sichuan and Yudan given by Fu Changsheng, Cai Xiangu's complexion improved significantly. She looked more than ten years younger and was dozing off on a recliner in the Spiritual Medicine Courtyard.
But the old man was a shallow sleeper.
As soon as Fu Yongfan entered the Water Curtain Cave, she heard footsteps coming.
Seeing Fu Yongfan in a hurry, she was stunned for a moment, and then said:
"Brother Fan, did the head of the family give you the foundation-building pill?"
"No, there is something more worthy of joy. Mother, guess what it is?"
Cai Xiangu looked puzzled.
Is there anything happier than being able to build a foundation in this world?
Fu Yongfan didn't keep the secret any longer. He took a deep breath and said solemnly:
"Mother, my father just received the news that the imperial court's canonization document has come down, and my father has set off to the Zhenshi Division to confer the title. Our Fu family has been officially canonized as an eighth-rank family!"
"Really?"
Cai Xiangu stood up from the recliner in a flash of joy. After confirming it again and again, she was so happy that she kept shouting several good words.
Then his eyes suddenly turned red:
"I still remember the first time I met the head of the family. He was only fifteen years old. He had to shoulder the burden of revitalizing the family. There was a threat from the Donghuang tribe outside, and the other four major Qi-refining families in Anyang County were eyeing him covetously. At that time, the people of Anyang County did not look favorably on your father, thinking that the Fu family would not last for more than two years and would be completely replaced by other families."
"It's your father who has the best of both worlds."
"He has led the entire Fu family step by step to where it is today."
"Others think it's going smoothly, but in fact it's been a lot of hardship."
"Brother Fan"
"The family has been promoted, and the business has become bigger. As your father's eldest son, I just hope that after you build your foundation in the future, you can share some of the burden for your father."
When people get old, they can't help but nag.
But these words are from the heart, and Fu Yongfan took them seriously in his heart.
On the other side.
After Fu Changsheng gave Fu Yongfan instructions, he flashed a few times and left the fiefdom.
Led by Qingmang, they went all the way to Wanning Market.
Arrived at the gate of the market.
Fu Yongshang, who received the message in advance, specially wore a festive outfit and waited early.
The guards guarding the city gate beside him were from the Cui family and the Qi family.
Qi San said with a hint of flattery, smiling:
"Brother Fu, when your family holds a banquet, remember to invite me too. Such a big happy event, let me share the good luck."
Cui Xiaoqi, who was standing aside, looked at Fu Yongshang with a happy face, but he was envious, jealous and helpless.
Thinking back to the past.
The first of the nine-grade families in Huainan was the Ping family. After the Ping family was destroyed, their Cui family took over. It was thought that the last eight-grade family position belonged to their Cui family.
Never expected that the Fu family would emerge as a sudden force.
If the Fu family was gone.
Maybe he would be the one receiving congratulations today.
Fu Yongshang laughed, took out the prepared red envelopes from his sleeves, stuffed one into each of Qi San and Cui Xiaoqi, and said with a smile:
"Brother Qi, Brother Cui, our clan will hold a celebration on the 15th of next month. You two must come over and have a few more drinks then."
"Of course, of course."
Qi San smiled and accepted the red envelope.
I wanted to say something else.
On the other side.
Fu Yongshang saw the green python galloping from a distance, and immediately stopped talking. After bowing to Qi San, he walked a few steps quickly to greet him:
"Master"
Fu Changsheng nodded slightly.
The two of them did not need to line up, and entered directly from the side door of the city gate.
Fu Yongshang said happily:
"Master, the imperial court had not yet conferred the title, and we did not dare to publicize it. Now that it has been officially conferred, I want to take this opportunity to organize a big reward activity in the store."
Whether it is a casual customer.
Or someone who wants to get close to the Fu family.
Everyone would want to come and share in the good fortune, and since the prices were falling steadily, the shop would definitely usher in the first wave of revival after the beast tide.
Fu Changsheng smiled and said:
"You make your own decision."
In terms of business.
He couldn't even compare to Mei Zhen, let alone Fu Yongshang who had a talent for business since childhood.
Fu Yongshang got permission, took a stack of red envelopes from his sleeves and handed them to Fu Changsheng: "Master, you should use it when you arrive at the Zhenshi Division. If you don't have any other instructions, then I will go to the store to prepare a big treat." Activities matters."
Before going out.
Fu Changsheng didn't consider the red envelope.
After taking it.
She nodded slightly to him:
"Go and do your work"
Fu Yongshang cupped his hands, and turned around to arrange business matters for the shop, as if he had greased his feet.
When Fu Changsheng arrived at the gate of Zhenshisi, he saw that there were more than a dozen guards guarding the door than usual. When they saw him coming, they all raised their hands and said:
"Congratulations to Patriarch Fu"
"Congratulations to the Fu family for being promoted to the eighth rank!"
Fu Changsheng smiled and stuffed a red envelope into each person.
The guards who received the red envelopes were all beaming with joy. They were blessed with the blessing of being from an eighth-grade family, and they must be able to go smoothly this year.
Looking at Fu Changsheng's back.
The guards came together and whispered:
"The Fu family is truly blessed. When they were weak and helpless, Patriarch Fu saved the only daughter of the eldest elder of the Shangguan family. With this kindness, the Fu family has been on the rise ever since."
"After being promoted to ninth grade"
"I met our new Palace Master Cao again."
"Hey, Captain Cui, why do I hear such a strong sour taste in your words?"
Captain Cui naturally refused to admit it.
but.
Not only is Fu Changsheng successful in his career, but his confidante is also more beautiful than the other, and more capable than the other.
Who can not envy it.
Why.
Why could he only meet Widow Wang like this?
Fu Changsheng stepped into the main hall.
But I saw Palace Master Xu dressed in solemn palace master clothes, with a calm and serious face, but a hint of joy in his eyes:
"Clan Chief Fu, congratulations!"
Said.
From the tray held by the deputy palace master.
He respectfully held the roll of canonization documents from the imperial court with both hands.
The document was wrapped in exquisite brocade, and the brocade was embroidered with a golden dragon pattern that symbolized royal majesty. Under the light of the main hall, the golden dragon seemed to take flight.
Palace Master Xu bowed in the direction of the imperial capital.
Then unfold the document.
Along with her lips opening slightly.
The clerk buzzed.
Runes flew out one by one instantly, condensing into a canonization document in the air.
When promoted to ninth level.
The canonization document for the aristocratic family was drafted by Zhenshisi.
But now he is an eighth-grade document.
Every word and every word was written by Emperor Wu of Zhou himself.
Fu Changsheng bowed in the direction of the imperial capital, feeling extremely excited. At this moment, the Fu family had truly entered the ranks of aristocratic families.
His eyes fell on the document in the air.
But I saw it written eloquently:
"I inherit the fate of heaven and rule the world. I govern the world through rewards and punishments. I also promote talents and praise meritorious nobles.
Since the ancestors, the Fu family has upheld loyalty and righteousness, protected the environment and the people above the local level, established schools and emphasized education, and benefited the countryside.
The children of his family are skilled in military strategy and protect their family and country on the frontier. When the beast tide comes, the Fu family takes the lead bravely. The children of the family either join the battle, organize defense, or relieve the victims, in order to fight against the beast tide. Great cause, outstanding contributions, truly a loyal and virtuous family.
This has been carefully considered by me and all the ministers in the court.
The Fu family's achievements, prestige, and family strength all meet the standards of an eighth-grade family. Specially canonized as an eighth-grade aristocratic family, and allowed to enjoy the corresponding rights and interests of an eighth-grade aristocratic family.
I hope that the Fu family, after being promoted, will not forget their original aspirations and continue to contribute to the prosperity of the court and the happiness of the people.
The moral character and style of the family should be used as an example to lead the local trend; the wisdom and strength of the family should be used as the cornerstone to consolidate the foundation of the court. If there is any slackness or disobedience, the court will definitely not treat him lightly.
Admire this! "
Buzz!
The canonization scripture trembled slightly.
Then it turned into a burst of purple energy and sank into the ninth-grade family jade seal in Fu Changsheng's body. The jade seal trembled slightly, and the original ninth-grade mark suddenly changed to eighth-grade.
The entire jade seal.
With the blessing of scriptures.
There was a bang.
In an instant, it was promoted to a third-level top-grade spiritual weapon.
One step further is the legendary magic weapon.
After Fu Changsheng got excited, he quickly calmed down and wrote down that the Fu family could enjoy the rights of an eighth-grade family.
But there is no detailed list:
"Palace Master Xu, can you tell me what rights the eighth-grade families enjoy."
This is their main motivation and goal to advance to the eighth level.
Palace Master Xu pointed to the Grand Master's chair beside him and asked Fu Changsheng to sit down first. Then he asked the Deputy Palace Master to serve the tea himself. After taking a sip, he said slowly:
"Promoted to Eighth Grade"
"There are ten benefits available"
"First, your fiefdom tax will be reduced by 20% every year."
Fu Changsheng heard this.
I felt happy.
Compared to other aristocratic families.
Their Fu family's stronghold and fiefdom are several times larger.
The annual tax paid is a terrifying figure. If it can be reduced by 20%, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce the expenses for the Fu family.
"Secondly, you Fu family can choose two Qi Refining clan members, one to build the foundation, and go to the Great Zhou Academy to study."
Dazhou Academy?
This was the first time Fu Changsheng heard about it.
Their place is really far away from the imperial capital, and there is little information:
"Master Xu, can you tell me about Dazhou Academy?"
Palace Master Xu gently put down the tea cup in his hand.
His face became solemn:
"The Dazhou Academy is the highest institution for cultivating talents in our dynasty. It has a long history, which can be traced back to the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The academy has gathered the world's top scholars and Master Jindan as teachers, whether it is the method of cultivating immortals or asking questions. , or strategies for governing the country and ensuring peace, all have detailed study courses."
There was a pause.
Palace Master Xu's eyes inadvertently revealed a look of pride:
"There is a library in the academy called the 'Wanxiang Pavilion', which contains countless precious classics and secret books on martial arts. Some of these classics were excavated from ancient ruins, and some were written by great Confucians and immortal masters of the past dynasties. The value is immeasurable."
"Even the Wanxiang Pavilion contains the legendary heaven-level skills."
Heaven level skills? !
This Great Zhou Academy is obviously an opportunity for the aristocratic family in a remote place to change their destiny.
Fu Changsheng's breathing suddenly became rapid.
Palace Master Xu continued:
"Moreover, Da Zhou Academy has close ties with the imperial court. Students who graduate from the academy, if they have the ambition to serve as officials in the imperial court, are often recommended first. They are also more likely to be reused in the imperial court. After all, they have been tempered by the academy. , both in talent and knowledge, they are extraordinary and comparable to ordinary people."
"but"
Palace Master Xu changed the topic.
He shook his head and said:
"There is a strict assessment system in Da Zhou Academy. Many children of aristocratic families, especially those from low-class aristocratic families from remote areas, were expelled without even staying in the academy for one month."
"For example, the Gongsun family, Shi family and Nangong family in Huainan Prefecture all recommended disciples who failed to meet the entrance examination standards and were sent back to their fiefdoms in less than a month."
Fu Changsheng frowned.
The assessment system of Dazhou Academy is so strict.
However.
Palace Master Xu hasn't finished speaking yet.
She pointed in the direction of Shangguan's house:
"It's good to be sent back to the fiefdom safely. The children of the aristocratic families sent there by the Shangguan family in the past few years died directly in the academy without even leaving a corpse."
Fu Changsheng was shocked.
Entering Dazhou Academy, your life is still in danger:
"Master Xu, why did the three disciples of the Shangguan family die in the academy?"
Palace Master Xu shook his head.
She didn't want to say more, but thinking about Cao Xiang'er's relationship, she still mentioned:
"Da Zhou Academy has not only the children of the aristocratic families, but also the Da Zhou royal family, and even the disciples of the sects within the territory. They may be the pride of heaven in our Huainan, but when they arrive in the imperial capital and enter the academy, they are likely to be at the bottom. If Did I accidentally offend a powerful person?"
"Of course, this is all secondary."
"The most important thing is that the teachings at Dazhou Academy are completely different from what we imagined. Even the royal family has died in it."
"but"
"The Great Zhou Academy is under the direct jurisdiction of His Majesty. No one dares to comment on how the academy operates."
That's the case.
Entering the Great Zhou Academy is obviously a blessing and a curse.
Fu Changsheng planned to inquire about the situation from the other eighth-grade aristocratic families. If it was really a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, then it would be fine not to enter:
"Palace Master Xu, what about the other eight rights?"
"Third, after your Fu family pays the spirit stone, you can use the teleportation array to leave Jingzhou."
Palace Master Xu listed seven rights in one breath, including the ability to enter secret realms below the middle level of Huang rank.
In the big week.
The secret realm and sect ruins are divided according to the black and yellow levels of heaven and earth, and each level is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower.
There are different levels of aristocratic families.
The number of places to enter the secret realm is also limited.
Look at it from this point of view.
The imperial court was obviously allocating resources to high-class families, and it was also trying to encourage low-class families to climb up the ladder.
However.
Listened to the eight rights and interests.
He didn't even see Palace Master Xu mention the secret of the Purple Mansion.
Although Fu Changsheng had already learned a thing or two from Shangguan Hongyu, he didn't know what the spiritual objects were that assisted in breaking through the Zi Mansion.
Palace Master Xu took a sip of Wuling tea.
A flick of the index finger.
Suddenly, the magic array light curtain in the main hall rose instantly, and her face suddenly became solemn:
"The tenth right should be what you are most concerned about, Patriarch Fu, and that is to break through the secret of the Purple Mansion."
Follow Palace Master Xu slowly.
Fu Changsheng showed a look of surprise on the surface, but in fact he was completely calm inside. As expected, the method taught by the imperial court to break through the Purple Mansion was exactly what Hongyu said. Taste.
but.
However, Palace Master Xu mentioned two spiritual objects that had broken through the Zi Mansion.
The first is the [Xuanyin Grass] that assists in opening the Niwan Palace.
The upper dantian is located between the eyebrows. When the power of spiritual consciousness is opened, if you are not careful, the practitioner will lose his mind at least, or his soul will be destroyed at worst.
The sandalwood condensed from Xuanyin Grass can keep practitioners awake at any time when opening the Niwan Palace.
The second auxiliary spiritual object is the [Soul Slough Pill].
The function of [Soul Transformation Pill] is to replenish the soul after awakening it, and to help the soul transform into a divine soul after the soul moves to Zi Mansion.
Wait for Palace Master Xu to finish speaking.
Fu Changsheng said:
"Master Xu, can those eighth-grade families use their merit points to exchange for [Xuan Yin Grass] and [Soul Slough Pill]?"
Palace Master Xu shook his head.
But he nodded quickly:
"It's possible, but whether it's Xuanyin Grass or Soul Sloughing Pill, the amount of merit points required is too large, and few aristocratic families are willing to exchange it."
Finished.
Palace Master Xu made an eight sign.
Fu Changsheng's pupils shrank. One auxiliary spiritual object costs 80,000 imperial merit points, and two costs 160,000. This is undoubtedly an astronomical figure.
Palace Master Xu saw Fu Changsheng frowning, and hurriedly added:
"Of course, in addition to merit points, there are naturally other channels to exchange Xuanyin grass and soul-transforming pills from the court, such as completing a certain task issued by the court, but this depends on chance and can only be encountered by chance."
Even the foundation-building pill.
The court must have a firm control in its hands.
The soul-transforming pill recipe must not be purchased in the market.
Fu Changsheng muttered in his heart:
"No wonder the Huainan Zifu Daxiu has almost never seen it."
In their remote place.
Except for the court.
They can't find any place to rely on.
After talking about the rights and interests of the eighth-grade family, Palace Master Xu mentioned the conditions for promotion to the seventh-grade family.
Although.
Their Fu family is far from meeting the standards.
But Fu Changsheng still carefully remembered it in his heart, which is somewhat similar to promotion to the eighth grade.
First, there must be a fourth-level spiritual vein.
Second, there must be six purple mansion warriors.
Third, there must be twelve third-level technicians who can cultivate all arts.
Fourth, two eighth-level noble families must be promoted under his rule.
The last point is that he needs to accumulate 80,000 court merit points.
After listening to this, Fu Changsheng felt that the road was long and arduous, but for cultivators, the life span is hundreds of years. If one generation cannot complete it, then only the second and third generations can work hard.
For other noble families.
Perhaps it is an unattainable condition.
But he has the assistance of the family head system, and he firmly believes that he should be able to lead the Fu family to the seventh level within a hundred years.
Because of practicing the "Green Emperor's Longevity Secret", he has a life span of 290 years. Now he is only in his early sixties, and he still has more than 200 years. If he works slowly, he can always do it.
Palace Master Xu gave a few more instructions.
At the time of parting.
Fu Changsheng personally handed over the prepared invitation:
"Palace Master Xu, on the 15th of next month, our clan will hold a celebration for the promotion to the eighth-grade family. Please come."
"Of course, of course."
Palace Master Xu smiled brightly.
She thought she would not be able to achieve any results when she came to take over the branch palace of Huainan Prefecture, but she never thought that the Fu family would be promoted to the eighth grade out of the blue.
The Fu family was so competitive, so she naturally had to go to help support the scene.
After Fu Changsheng came out of the Zhenshi Division.
The sea of consciousness suddenly trembled.
"The reward is here!"
Fu Changsheng took a few quick steps and returned to the secret room in the backyard of the store. After closing the magic circle, he saw a bright yellow light surging from the panel.
Immediately afterwards.
A familiar voice sounded:
"Ding"
"You successfully led the Fu family to be promoted to the eighth-grade family and obtained 8,888 family contribution points."
Immediately afterwards.
The contribution value on the panel instantly changed to 11,388.
Fu Changsheng looked at the value of over ten thousand, and was overjoyed. He never expected that the system would reward such a high contribution value.
Just as he was thinking about how to use it.
The panel trembled again:
"Ding"
"You successfully led the Fu family to the eighth-grade family. As a reward, the system will open the fourth function."
Buzz!
Then the panel trembled violently.
A large amount of yellow light surged.
But I saw that the fourth panel of the system was surging with thousands of spiritual lights, and then, the six words [Offspring Qualification Improvement] appeared on the panel:
"What is this?"
In a daze.
A huge amount of information poured into the sea of consciousness.
After a long while.
Fu Changsheng looked at the newly opened [Offspring Qualification Improvement] panel and was pleasantly surprised. From the literal meaning, the new function is prepared for offspring. Consuming contribution values can improve the qualifications of a designated offspring.
However.
The qualifications here are not necessarily the improvement of spiritual root qualifications, but may also be one of the hundred arts of cultivation, but it is random.
At the end.
A sentence was marked.
After his offspring's qualifications are improved, he can also get corresponding rewards, but how much is not mentioned.
"I wonder if those without spiritual roots can enter the practice after being improved?"
Fu Changsheng immediately thought of his youngest son, Qiang Ge'er. According to the information, Qiang Ge'er felt that he had not seen his parents many times since he was a child, and he had no qualifications for cultivation, so he felt that he was abandoned by his parents, so he was depressed and resentful more than ten years ago.
But.
At that time, he was in seclusion.
So he had not had time to deal with the matter of Qiang Ge'er.
However.
After he came out of seclusion.
He had sent a message to his eldest brother to come from the Anyang County clan to participate in the celebration, and bring the twins Fu Ge'er and Qiang Ge'er back to the fiefdom.
Fu Changsheng's eyes fell on the family panel. This time, the new function of the system was enabled, which consumed more than 10,000 contribution points. There are currently 1,000 left on the panel:
"You can try it when Qiang Ge'er comes."
