Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 523 - 247: Breakthrough, Innate Sword Seed, Family’s Future Planning

"Foundation Establishment Peak!"

Fu Changsheng was delighted to feel the changes after his breakthrough.

At the Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment, the spiritual power still had some impurities, akin to a spiritual spring mixed with dust and sand.

However, as the breakthrough process commenced, the cultivation technique operated like a rapidly spinning spirit wheel, with spiritual power rushing and whistling through the meridians, as if refined by a spirit flame, gradually eliminating impurities.

The meridians were also widened.

The once narrow meridian pathways now seemed as if they were carved open by a spirit axe, becoming vast and boundless, with spiritual power flowing through them like a spirit wind, instantly reaching all parts of the body.

Fu Changsheng murmured:

"No wonder previously when I saw Uncle Feng make a move, magic arrived almost instantaneously. So that’s how it is."

This is the terrifying aspect of the Foundation Establishment Peak.

Fu Changsheng was filled with joy in his heart.

He introspected his dantian.

The Qi Sea Dantian underwent wonderful changes during the breakthrough process:

"Huh?"

He saw the internal space structure of the dantian seemed to be re-engraved with a spirit seal, becoming intricate and complex, like a spirit palace excavated with many spiritual chambers by a spirit worker.

This structural change made the storage of spiritual power in the dantian as solid as a spirit crystal in a box, extremely stable:

"Not bad, the stability of the dantian has also greatly strengthened."

Fu Changsheng was very satisfied.

At the Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment,

the dantian was easily affected by external spiritual energy fluctuations, like a candle flickering in the wind.

But at the Foundation Establishment Peak, the dantian seemed to be guarded by a spirit shield in a spirit castle, capable of resisting external spiritual disturbances, ensuring the stable storage and smooth operation of spiritual power:

"Let’s see how the divine sense has changed."

After sensing for a while,

the smile on Fu Changsheng’s lips grew deeper:

"The sensitivity of the divine sense has increased nearly tenfold!"

At the Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment, the range of the divine sense was only a few dozen feet, like a small world shrouded in spiritual mist.

Now,

his divine sense could cover an area of several hundred feet, like a spiritual eye wide open, clearly perceiving the spiritual energy tides, movements of demon spirits, and other such circumstances within this range.

After spending more than half a year consolidating his cultivation,

he patted his storage bag.

A flash of dawn light.

The Star Coffin appeared before his eyes:

"It’s time to cultivate the ’Nine Heavens Star Technique’."

.....

On the other side.

After confirming the beast tide had subsided,

Brother Fan, who was hiding in the Underground City, also brought clan members out one after another. Brother Fan, moving swiftly, began organizing manpower to gather battlefield resources.

Tens of thousands of Tier One demon beasts and several hundred Tier Two demon beasts’ materials.

Unfortunately, many were destroyed in the fire of battle, but the number collected was quite substantial, directly reaching tens of thousands of spirit stones.

However,

while operating the Grand Array of Demon-Defying City,

hundreds of Middle-Grade Spirit Stones were spent, which deducted tens of thousands of costs, and in addition, the outer city of Demon-Defying City was completely destroyed, and the inner city was also riddled with holes, all of which required the purchase of spiritual materials and labor.

When all was tallied up,

this ledger actually balanced out.

Because,

after the beast tide,

demon beast materials were naturally worthless. Even if refined into artifact talismans, they couldn’t be sold in a hurry.

Firstly,

the demon beasts of the Ten Thousand Mountains were virtually wiped out.

In the short term,

no one would enter the mountains.

Secondly,

after this beast tide, even noble families surviving was not easy. Everyone needs to recuperate and conserve strength, and for at least ten years, no wars will happen.

Without wars,

artifact talismans and healing spirit pills also became unsellable.

After Brother Fan finished storing demon beast materials,

he tirelessly began to register the clan’s contribution points from this beast tide.

This was originally Fu Molan’s responsibility, but since she was currently at the Anyang County Clan, Brother Fan temporarily took over.

Outside the Punishment Hall,

it was bustling with people, and everyone was excitedly lining up in small teams as if celebrating the New Year.

Among them,

Fu Yonghan, who was standing behind Fu Yongqi, whispered:

"Captain, did Brother Yongfu find you last night?"

In recent days,

Fu Yongfu had frequently visited the Yong Generation brothers and sisters, rumored to be gathering contribution points.

There was a vague suspicion within the clan,

that Fu Yongfu was most likely trying to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Fu Yonghan glanced around quickly and transmitted a message:

"Captain, listen to me, you’ve got quite a lot of contribution points in your hands, so don’t lend them to Brother Yongfu. The number of Foundation Establishment Pills is limited. Once Brother Yongfu exchanges for one, by the time you gather enough contribution points, it might not be your turn."

Fu Yongqi remained indifferent.

In fact,

not only had Fu Yongfu sought him, but Fu Yongdan and Fu Yongshang had also personally come to his door. They were the second-in-command in the Talisman Hall, Pill Hall, and Commerce Department, respectively; especially Fu Yongfu and Fu Yongdan who were also the head disciple of the Patriarch and Lady of the House.

When they spoke,

few could refuse considering the Patriarch and Lady of the House.

But compared to the two of them,

the terms offered by Fu Yongshang made it hard for him to refuse.

Therefore,

he had yet to give an answer.

As he stood in line, he noticed Fu Yongdan and the other two occasionally casting glances towards him, increasing the pressure on Fu Yongqi.

In the recent beast tide,

because of his fearless, death-defying stance, Fu Yongqi ranked third among the Qi Cultivation clan members for the number of demon beasts slain, behind only Fairy Lady Cai and Fu Yongfu.

His contribution points naturally made others envious.

Therefore,

he became the competitor of the three Foundation Establishment candidates, including Fu Yongdan.

Brother Fan read out a name:

"Fu Yongqi"

Fu Yongqi didn’t react immediately. Only after Fu Yonghan reminded him did he quickly step forward and handed over his Identity Token.

Brother Fan verified the image of the number of demon beasts Fu Yongqi had slain in the Memory Bean Pod.

Only then did he credit one thousand six hundred and eighty-eight contribution points to Fu Yongqi’s Identity Token.

As Fu Yongqi stepped out of the Punishment Hall gates,

Fu Yongdan and Fu Yongfu approached immediately, but Fu Yongshang stood among the crowd, his lips moving silently in quick transmission:
