Family Rise by Daily Intelligence-Chapter 354 - 195: Breakthrough, A Transaction Between Two Women, and a Huge Sum of Money
Fu Yongfu had just left when Fu Yongdan arrived, as Meizhen had already gone ahead to the Wanning Marketplace. Fu Changsheng entrusted the pill recipe for the Nourishing Essence Pill to Fu Yongdan to pass on to Meizhen.
Fu Yongdan is Meizhen’s first disciple and is now in charge of the Alchemy Hall.
After handling all the miscellaneous affairs.
Fu Changsheng activated the Array, thoroughly checked for omissions, and then with a thought:
"Activate the Training Room"
Buzz!
The panel trembled.
A mass of yellow light surged.
In the next instant, he found himself in the [Training Room], a familiar sandalwood scent inundating his senses. Sitting down on the mat, he found his heart calming down.
Activating the Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique, he expelled a breath of turbid air from his body, tapped the pill bottle placed on his left, and the Refining Essence Pill immediately fell into his mouth.
Boom!
The immense medicinal power rampaged through his Dantian like a wild stallion.
The Tier Two Top-Grade Pill’s medicinal power was even more potent, and Fu Changsheng let out a muffled groan. Hurriedly, he summoned the Dantian Dharma Power to encase this medicinal power layer by layer, then gradually released it for refinement.
In cultivation, years pass unnoticed.
In the blink of an eye, four years went by.
Fu Changsheng only heard a cracking sound, and the mana within him suddenly leaped over a bridge, coursing through a newly developed meridian, then through the Heaven and Earth Bridge into his Dantian:
"Eighth-Layer Foundation Establishment!"
Having consumed a bottle of Refining Essence Pills, coupled with his relentless cultivation, his breakthrough was natural.
He inwardly visualized his Dantian.
The Middle Dantian had expanded to more than twice its previous size.
If it was three plots of land before, now it was nearly an acre.
Thanks to the unique nature of the Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique, his Divine Sense also grew to double its original size.
The next step forward would be the Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment.
However, if merely through sitting meditation, advancing further would undoubtedly take more than ten years of accumulating a vast amount of energy. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Thus.
He planned to use the coming period to cultivate the Nine Heavens Star Technique.
To break through to the Purple Mansion, he would need to open up seventeen significant points between the Upper Dantian and Middle Dantian. These seventeen points all lie in vulnerable locations, and a single mistake could result in irreparable consequences. If, before this, he tempered the meridians, it would certainly make the process of opening these seventeen points much easier!
The Nine Heavens Star Technique’s first layer is Skin Refining, the second is Refining Flesh, and the third is Refining Meridians, so as long as he perfected the first three layers.
The subsequent opening of the two Dantian points would naturally be as easy as drinking water.
He turned his right hand.
The Star Map appeared in his hand.
After spending nearly half a year comprehending the sacrificial refinement technique of the Star Map, feeling it was almost sufficient, he then began the sacrificial refinement process.
His right hand formed a seal.
The sound of a spell emerged from his mouth.
With streams of mana pouring into the Star Map, a star on the Star Map immediately lit up, and over several months, hundreds of stars on the Star Map were sequentially lit. Upon closer inspection, the star markers on the Star Map corresponded to various points within his body.
His right hand formed a new technique.
The Star Map gently trembled, then turned into a cluster of starlight and merged into his body.
Originally, the stars settled into their corresponding points within him.
Next.
It was time to invoke the Nine Heavens Star Power into his body.
Fu Changsheng took a deep breath, not rushing to cultivate, but took out the Nine Heavens Star Technique for another careful study before starting the cultivation technique.
Accompanying the operation of the cultivation technique.
The stars, previously settled in each point, connected in a line. Just then, amidst the void, the starlight transformed into specks of starlight surrounding Fu Changsheng. As the Star Map slightly trembled, the Star Power instantly merged into his body, and during the operation of the cultivation technique, began to temper his skin.
Having the Star Map.
Invoking the Star Power into his body seemed to become significantly easier.
...
While Fu Changsheng was in seclusion.
Liuu Meizhen and Fu Molan, after completing the miscellaneous affairs at the Flying Dragon Marketplace, rode the Two-headed Green-eyed Python to Wanning Marketplace.
Although it was her first time at the marketplace.
Liuu Meizhen, however, skillfully found a Foundation Establishment Cave Mansion to rent.
Just as she appeared in the marketplace.
Over on the Liang Family’s side, the Second Elder, Liang Zhitang, stationed at the Artifact Refining Workshop, had already heard Shopkeeper Liang’s report. Shopkeeper Liang was somewhat reluctant:
"Second Elder, our shop has been in operation for nearly a hundred years. Each year it brings in tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, which is one of our Liang Family’s largest sources of income. Are we really going to hand over the shop to the Fu Family?"
The Second Elder, Liang Zhitang, unhurriedly inscribed a logo on a newly appraised Tier Two Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact and said casually:
"There are many who want this shop. Look over the past century; has any other Noble Family been able to take it from us?"
Even though he said this.
The worry on Shopkeeper Liang’s face did not lessen a bit.
He had heard about the agreement made by the Patriarchs of the Nine Great Families:
"Second Elder, do you have any plan in mind?"
Liang Zhitang lifted his hand and took a sip of Black Spirit Tea from the table, squinting his eyes slightly, with a half-smile:
"When the Fu Family sends someone to take over the shop, welcome them warmly. However, let them patiently wait for a few days. It’s not like we won’t return the shop; we’re just going to delay it a bit. When the next Noble Family Grand Competition comes, it will be settled then."
"But... what if the Fu Family becomes infuriated and reports to the World Suppression Bureau, what should we do?"
The World Suppression Bureau is set up at the marketplace.
If there are disputes between Noble Families, they can indeed ask the World Suppression Bureau to mediate.
And obviously, the Fu Family is in the right.
When he heard this, laughter reached Liang Zhitang’s eyes:
"If the Fu Family truly goes to the World Suppression Bureau, that will be a great opportunity for us."
