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.
Present the inventory with both hands:
"Family head, because Yongshang signed a contract with five aristocratic families to establish the Demon Control City, the clan has received a large amount of additional income. There are currently 300,000 low-grade spiritual stones on the books as a working capital."
Three hundred thousand spirit stones.
For the Fu family back then.
That's unthinkable.
Fu Changsheng said:
"Do you think it's more appropriate to use this spiritual stone?"
Yaoyao, who was sitting at the bottom on the right, 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 foundation builders"
"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, who was 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.
Slowly said:
"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 was able to understand his thoughts at once, and he talked a little:
"Housekeeper"
"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 decline, 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 our spiritual veins, I can guarantee that we will be able to complete our 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, etc. 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. "
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 shouldn't be a problem to block the attack from Zifu Daxiu with the attack of the third-level demonic beasts."
"It really 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 and was not convinced:
"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 and moistened his throat:
"The treasure ship is a must-have for wartime, and it will be purchased sooner or later. When we get it, let the people in the Formation Hall and the Talisman Hall take a look at the specific situation. We can't get rich overnight."
"But"
"Yong Shang's suggestion is very good."
"If you have any ideas for opening up new sources, you can speak up boldly."
After the second half of the meeting.
Fu Changsheng saw that everyone had almost expressed their opinions, so he 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 have one foundation building and two Qi refining places to enter the Da Zhou Academy. What do you think? Who recommends themselves or recommends candidates?"
Entering the Da Zhou Academy.
It is equivalent to standing on the shoulders of giants all of a sudden.
And the Da Zhou Academy was founded in the imperial capital.
The cultivation resources there are not comparable to their remote place in Jingzhou.
But they have also heard about the dangers of entering the Da Zhou Academy.
For the children of inferior families, especially those from marginal areas, it is hard to say whether they can survive there, let alone complete their studies.
As soon as this was said.
Everyone looked at each other.
Yu Lian had heard of it, but her husband had not yet established his foundation, her mother was old, her children were young, and she was entangled in a lot of affairs. Not to mention the imperial capital, she could not even leave Jingzhou. She had never thought of leaving her fiefdom.
But she knew in her heart that this was a rare opportunity.
So she looked around with envy.
Now Fu Changli and Fu Molan, Liu Runzhi and Yaoyao are not married yet, so there is no worry at all.
Fu Changsheng just finished speaking.
Yaoyao took the lead and said:
"Father, I want to enter the Great Zhou Academy to see a little."
"Master, I also have this wish."
But Fu Molan also spoke.
Yaoyao studied in the secret realm barrier for ten years, wasting ten years of cultivation time, and recently just broke through to the middle stage of foundation building.
In addition.
In addition to resisting the beast tide.
Yaoyao had no experience of going out for training.
Fu Changsheng shook his head immediately:
"Yaoyao, your cultivation 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.
And Fu Molan, who has been out hunting in the mountains with the Zhengzhan Hall for a long time.
Yaoyao still has too little experience.
As Molan and Yaoyao spoke, the male elders of the clan on the left looked at each other.
Fu Changli never liked fighting, so he was not interested at all.
Fu Yongfu was only good at making talismans, and he also shook his head.
Fu Yongyi wanted to go, but seeing that Fu Molan raised his hand, he felt that he was a junior and it was not his turn. Moreover, the clan needed him to explore the mineral veins and mineral sources. Even if he wanted to leave, the clan would not let him go.
Ouyang Fei stroked his beard.
His mouth grew long.
But the words that came to his mouth were swallowed back.
He has been at the peak of foundation building for many years. If he goes to Da Zhou, he will have the opportunity to break through to the Purple Palace. But compared with Fu Molan, who has been silently contributing to the family since the Fu family was in its infancy, he is still far from qualified.
Fu Changsheng saw that everyone agreed with Molan.
He naturally had no objection.
Molan is a mutant ice spirit root, and also has bone spirit cold fire. Now her cultivation has broken through to the ninth level of foundation building. In addition to her childhood experience and the training over the years, he believes that even if Molan goes to Da Zhou Academy, she will definitely be able to protect herself:
"Molan, if you have made up your mind, you will stay after the meeting."
"Yes, head of the family"
The foundation building candidate has been determined.
Next is the quota for two Qi training cultivators.
Yaoyao hesitated for a while and said:
"Father, Fu Geer heard that he could go to the imperial capital. He has been pestering me for years, saying that if he doesn't go to the imperial capital in this life, he will live in vain. No matter how much I persuade him, it's useless. He just wants to go."
Fu Geer's obsession with food is even better than Fu Changli's obsession with winemaking.
He has tasted all the food in Huainan Prefecture.
He has also developed many new dishes himself.
It stands to reason.
He should not be able to digest so many spiritual materials at his Qi training level, but his physique is very special. Almost all of them can be converted into his own mana soon after eating.
So.
Almost no one in the clan can see how he practices, but his cultivation level is rising, especially in the past few years in the fiefdom. With Yaoyao's pampering, he even eats a lot of second-level spiritual materials.
He has just turned twenty and has entered the late stage of Qi training.
Fu Geer is almost innocent.
Fu Changsheng was worried about the child, but he did not refuse in person.
Each hall recommended one or two of their own disciples, and there were sixteen people in total.
Fu Changsheng said:
"In this case, third brother, you will start to hold a clan competition. The content of the clan competition will be distributed to the clan members after everyone has discussed it. This time, it is not limited to everyone's recommendation. All Fu family members can participate, and then the first and second place will be selected."
"Yes, head of the family!"
Fu Changli agreed with a smile.
Now he has something to do, but this is also a symbol of the prosperity of the family.
Everyone decided on the content of the competition on the spot. There are three games in total. The first game is hunting in the Ten Thousand Mountains, the second game is set in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, and the content of the third game is determined by the head of the family and is kept secret for the time being.
The discussion is over.
After everyone withdrew.
Fu Changsheng said:
"Molan, please follow me."
The two arrived at the clan's treasure pavilion. Fu Changsheng held the family 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, a treasure box suspended in the middle stood out.
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 floated 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 what he saw was 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 held up his hands 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 the Great Zhou Academy, you will be the pride of heaven everywhere. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. 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 happened to come back and 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 spiritual 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 your 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 didn'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 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 in a hurry."
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 are 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 said hurriedly:
"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, and my clan heard that they are 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 her face, but she 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 shouldn't be trapped in this inferior 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 only comes 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'll 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 to mention the affairs of Dazhou Academy. You must behave well in front of the head of the house."
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 Patriarch's Mansion. 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 elder 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 the next moment it closed instantly.
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 hand. 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 stood up quickly, bowed, and said excitedly:
"Thank you father. The child will not disappoint his father."
"Um"
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.
