Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 526 - 248: Open Source, Foundation Establishment Candidates, Deep Regret

After Master Yunbo introduced himself and explained the grievances between him and the current Patriarch of the Yum Family, as well as the specific situation of the fifth, seventh, and ninth branches of the Yum Family.

Liuu Meizhen then said:

"As everyone has heard, this journey to Jingzhou Prefecture is different from the last trip to invite the Talisman Array Master of the Liuu Family from Jingzhou. It is very likely that we will engage in a fight with the Yum Family in Jingzhou, making it extremely dangerous. However, if we can safely relocate the people from the third branch of the Yum Family to our feudal land, then the promotion to the Eighth-Grade is within reach."

"Therefore, who goes must be chosen with the utmost caution!"

Before the words were barely out of her mouth.

Yaoyao eagerly raised her hand:

"Mother, I’m willing to go. I am a Tier Two Array Master, and maybe I could be of great help."

As soon as she said this.

She was glared at by Grandmaster Yu:

"Nonsense, your injuries haven’t healed yet. With merely an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, what business do you have joining this? If an Array Master is needed, I will go personally."

Grandmaster Yu clearly regarded Yaoyao as his own granddaughter.

Unwilling to let her take risks.

Yaoyao pouted a little regretfully, after all, it was a hard-earned opportunity to explore the outside world.

Beside her, Ouyang Fei said in a muffled voice:

"I have been to Jingzhou Prefecture once with the Lady of the House, count me in as well."

"And me, I can simultaneously control two Tier Two Puppets. If it really comes to a fight with the Yum Family, I alone can handle four Foundation Establishments."

Fu Molan felt regretful for not being able to contribute during the Beast Tide outbreak.

Fu Changli also volunteered.

Among those present.

Only Brother Rong, who was drowsy, and Jade Lotus remained silent. Jade Lotus felt her child was still young and could not part from her, furthermore, she feared she would become a burden if she went.

Liuu Meizhen tapped the table and said slowly:

"Although the Beast Tide is over, the Eighth-Grade Gongsun Family is eyeing us covetously. The feudal land in Yunshan County is protected by Demon-Defying City and the Ten Thousand Ghost Array, Yaoyao will oversee the main array, and Fourth Sister, you will stay here to oversee things."

"As for the feudal land in Pingshan County"

"Uncle Fei, you will likely have to oversee it personally, with Brother Rong and Jade Lotus assisting you."

"As for the Lin Family’s Cloud Mountain, it will still be up to Molan and Autumn Cicada to guard it."

Having figured it out.

It means.

That those going to Jingzhou Prefecture are Liuu Meizhen herself, Grandmaster Yu, and unexpectedly, she also brought Fu Yongyi.

Fu Yongyi had just recently advanced to Foundation Establishment.

People had some doubts about choosing him, but they assumed Liuu Meizhen wanted to take him to see the world, so they didn’t think much of it.

After the candidates were finalized.

The group discussed for a while longer.

Liuu Meizhen cast a technique on the Array Plate in the Council Hall, and the Array Light Curtain opened. Master Yunbo tactfully cupped his hand and withdrew.

Evidently.

The Fu Family was next to discuss household matters.

After Yunbo retired.

Liuu Meizhen continued:

"Today’s Elder Council has another important matter. Recently, Yongshang, Yongdan, and Yongfu have all accumulated ten thousand Clan Contribution Points each and want to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills. However, we currently only have two Foundation Establishment Pills left in stock."

"Among the three of them"

"We can only choose two, and everyone should see who is the most suitable."

As soon as she said this.

Yaoyao was the first to look at Brother Fan, who was standing behind Liuu Meizhen, and said anxiously:

"Mother, are all two Foundation Establishment Pills going to be exchanged? What if there’s someone more suitable in the clan for Foundation Establishment?"

Yaoyao hoped to reserve one for her elder brother.

Among the triplets.

Now, only Brother Fan hadn’t achieved Foundation Establishment, even Brother Fan’s wife, Jade Lotus, had already done so. Despite this, Brother Fan continued to manage the miscellaneous affairs of the feudal land as always.

However.

Yaoyao felt her brother must be feeling bad inside.

As soon as Yaoyao finished speaking.

Everyone instinctively looked at Brother Fan, but he was only at the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, and at his aptitude, it might take another decade to reach the peak of Qi Cultivation.

Ten years is too long.

The clan might have already refined another batch of Foundation Establishment Pills by then.

Yaoyao was worried, leading to confusion.

Brother Fan felt a bit embarrassed and hung his head low.

Fu Molan saw this and was the first to break the silence:

"If we talk about aptitude, Yongdan, and the other two are about the same. In their respective fields, they are all leaders among the Yong Generation. However, purely in terms of profitability for the Fu Family, Yongshang clearly leads."

"It was Yongshang who suggested building the Flying Dragon Marketplace."

Evidently.

Fu Molan favored Fu Yongshang as the first choice.

The crowd exchanged looks.

Fu Changli said:

"Lady of the House, if we were to consider gender balance, Yongdan is a candidate, and if she can successfully establish a Foundation, it could inspire the female cultivators in the clan to work harder in their cultivation."

Everyone expressed their opinions.

Liuu Meizhen turned her attention to Brother Fan, who had remained silent until now, and said:

"Brother Fan, as the Chief Steward of the feudal land, you surely have a more comprehensive perspective. What are your thoughts?"

Being addressed.

Brother Fan had already eased from the previous awkward atmosphere.

He replied gracefully:

"Mother, currently we have you and Elder Shi as Tier Two Alchemists in the clan, and besides, there are many other family members with good talent in Alchemy. Sister Yongdan’s foundation establishment doesn’t significantly change the family’s development, but in the Talisman Hall, apart from Father, only Brother Yongfu is a Tier Two Talisman Master."

He paused for a moment.

Brother Fan continued:

"But Father is busy with affairs, and he rarely has time to make talismans. During this Beast Tide outbreak, we harvested a large batch of Tier Two Talisman materials. If Brother Yongfu could successfully establish a Foundation, his talisman-making speed and skill would surely reach new heights, also allowing us to convert those Tier Two Talisman materials into profits."

Therefore.

From the family’s interest perspective.

The chosen candidates for Foundation Establishment naturally fell upon Fu Yongfu and Fu Yongshang.
