Family Rise by Daily Intelligence-Chapter 384 - 205: Beast Tide, Spirit Stone Vein, Second Refining of Foundation Establishment Pill
Forty miles outside of Changling Garden.
Xu Changmi, the third son of the Xu Family who was sent ahead to scout, looked back at the bamboo grove now far behind and muttered:
"Why is it that as Xu Family disciples, Xu Changqing gets to enjoy all the resources just because he came from the Chieftain’s Wife?"
In terms of talent and understanding, he was much stronger than Xu Changqing.
Xu Changrui, who was traveling with him, hastily looked around to ensure no one else was around, then glared at the other:
"Third brother, if you want to die, just say a few more words."
Xu Changqing was not an easy person to deal with. If he found out they were speaking ill of him, they would not have any peace in the Xu Family thereafter.
Following behind them, Xu Changyi remained silent.
Xu Changmi and Xu Changrui grew up wearing the same pants as Xu Changqing. It was because of Xu Changqing’s support that they climbed to their current positions, but after advancing to Foundation Establishment, they felt they were superior and could no longer stand Xu Changqing’s authority. Learning how many resources the family allocated to Xu Changqing made them even more resentful.
However.
As the saying goes, proximity breeds corruption. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Xu Changrui and Xu Changmi relied on being close to the Young Clan Leader to tyrannize their territory.
Their conduct was even less commendable than Xu Changqing’s.
The number of young girls who perished at their hands could form a small mountain.
In his younger days, Xu Changyi would have certainly killed people like them.
But having climbed step by step from being an illegitimate child in a side branch of the family to his current position, he had smoothed out all his edges. More often, he was the one doing the stabbing because it was the only way to get close to Xu Changqing and enter the heart of the Xu household’s power.
Fifty miles was all it took.
For three middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, it took less than half a cup of tea’s time to reach the foot of Changling Garden.
The mountain was shrouded in white mist:
"Something’s not right!"
Xu Changyi hastily retreated.
Just then.
A Purple Qi Divine Light buzzed, shooting up from underground like lightning, piercing his dantian. With a tearing sound, it exited through his back. Xu Changyi, in disbelief, fell heavily to the ground.
He died without knowing who killed him.
At the same time.
Xu Changmi and Xu Changrui were also penetrated by the Purple Qi Divine Light, their dantians destroyed, dead where they stood.
All three were only in the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment.
Against the Purple Qi Divine Light cultivated through the "Nine-Transformation of the Rising Sun," now capable of Transformation, they had no chance to fight back, especially caught in an ambush.
Fu Changsheng waved his sleeve, storing the three corpses into his storage bag.
He transferred all spiritual objects from their storage bags into his own; there weren’t many spiritual objects, but plenty of woman’s intimate garments, and Xu Changyi’s storage bag contained quite a few boy’s bellybands—clearly, they weren’t good characters.
He discarded the now-empty storage bags on the ground.
Fu Changsheng planned to have Autumn Cicada and Cyan Python devour the bodies and souls, leaving no trace, considering there’s a Hall Master of the World Suppression Bureau in the Xu Family.
Still worried about Molan.
Fu Changsheng’s thoughts stirred, and he said:
"Exchange information"
Buzz!
The interface vibrated.
A surge of yellow light flowed.
Then lines of text appeared:
[1: Three hundred years ago, the Xu Family was a Seventh-Grade Noble Family in Jinzhou. After their ancestor in the Purple Mansion passed away, they voluntarily lowered their grade and settled in North Huai Prefecture. During this period, Foundation Establishment members died mysteriously, leaving only three, prompting the previous patriarch to lower the family grade again to a Ninth-Grade Noble Family, lifting the dark clouds over the Xu Family and bringing prosperity. The Xu Family’s Life Soul Tracking Technique can track which hand the direct line descendants died by.]
[2: Your wife Liuu Meizhen has started refining the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Fruit and is currently in Moni Mountain.]
[3: Shangguan Hongyu obtained a great fortune in the Jasper Pool.]
[4: The Cui Family acquired ten portions of Foundation Establishment Pill in Cloud Star Garden.]
[5: In ten years, your fief will face an attack by a beast tide from the Ten Thousand Mountains.]
[6: While patrolling Pingshan County, Fu Yongyi discovered a Spirit Stone Vein at the border with the Liang Family. Fu Yongyi has reported this to your eldest son, Brother Fan, who instructed Fu Yongyi not to inform a third party until you return to handle it.]
[7: A small secret realm is hidden in your fief.]
[8: Shangguan Hui’s Dao Companion has married into the Cyan Mountain Tribe and successfully climbed from a concubine to the Chieftain’s Wife, achieving Foundation Establishment.]
[9: Grand Elder Liang’s granddaughter, after consummating her marriage with your elder brother Fu Changren, has given birth to a baby girl, but she was forcibly sent by the Liang Family to a secret place for nurturing.]
[10:...]
...
Fu Changsheng exchanged for twenty pieces of information at once.
Because this time the system’s refreshed information was almost entirely related to them.
He quickly scanned through it.
His gaze locked on the first piece, eyes narrowing slightly:
"So the Xu Family has such deep foundations."
He initially thought about eliminating all the remaining Xu Family members to prevent future troubles, but Xu Changqing is a direct descendant, and if traced back to the Fu Family, it would be problematic:
"Fortunately, I refreshed the information beforehand."
Fu Changsheng’s mind raced.
Soon, he had a foolproof plan.
.....
At this moment.
Fu Changli emerged from Changling Garden with immense joy:
"Patriarch, the Foundation Establishment Pills in Changling Garden are more than enough to refine two batches of the pill. After giving them to the Court, we should receive three Foundation Establishment Pills. This way, our family can have three more at Foundation Establishment. Especially Sister Runzhi, who was just a bit short of breaking through last time. Given another chance, she’ll surely succeed."
