Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Following the direction where the Red-tailed Wolf appeared, they ventured deeper into Shadow Valley. Before long, a Red Mist Barrier came into view, clearly marking the wolf lair beyond.

Fu Changsheng made a gesture with his right hand, summoning a gust of wind that dispersed the mist, revealing a stone cave concealed by vines and rocks, hard to notice without careful observation.

"Squeak squeak squeak"

A sound akin to a baby’s screech emanated from within the cave.

Using his Divine Sense, Fu Changsheng discovered that the cave was home to hundreds of Red-tailed Wolf cubs.

"Let’s go!"

After ensuring there were no adult Red-tailed Wolves, Fu Changsheng beckoned and stepped into the cave.

A faintly fishy scent greeted them immediately.

The cave was dimly lit, but for cultivators like them, the darkness posed no hindrance to their sight.

Upon entering, they found the cave’s interior quite spacious.

Fu Changsheng flicked his forefinger several times, embedding Moonstones into the stone walls, instantly illuminating the scene inside the cave.

They saw that the cave was divided into several individual small rooms, each housing a few or up to a dozen wolf cubs, many of which had yet to open their eyes.

Fu Changli remarked.

In haste, he said:

"Patriarch, this wolf pack is rather unique; they often take the first creature they see upon opening their eyes as their mother. Let’s bring these unopened-eye cubs back to the family for training. I’m confident we can train them into a clan of Guardian Beasts."

"Hmm"

Fu Changsheng didn’t object.

"Howl~"

The half-grown Red-tailed Wolves seemed to understand Fu Changsheng’s exchange, a flash of ferocity in their eyes as they opened their massive jaws to attack the unopened-eye cubs.

Clearly.

This was a refusal to become slaves even in death.

"Take action!"

Fu Changsheng flicked his ten fingers, sending out streams of Sword Qi, which pierced through the foreheads of these half-grown wolves like streaks of lightning.

Not long after.

Only the unopened-eye wolf cubs were left in the cave mansion.

The four of them headed to the bottom of the cave, where Fu Changli exclaimed:

"Oh my, Patriarch, there’s a patch of Primordial Blood Grass here!"

A few hundred paces away, a well-organized Spirit Medicine Field came into view, approximately two acres in size, subdivided into four plots cultivating Primordial Blood Grass of varying ages.

Upon closer inspection.

The Primordial Blood Grass plants appeared rather short, their stalks purplish-red, thin, sturdy, and covered in fuzz, with narrow willow-like leaves, but thicker, their edges serrated, deep green with red veins running from root to tip.

In one of the plots, the blossoms were blood-red umbrella-shaped clusters, with golden-yellow pistils, emitting a faintly metallic scent.

Fu Changli commented admiringly:

"These Red-tailed Wolves are indeed quite remarkable, the Primordial Blood Grass in this field is completely free from pests, even more impressive than the Spirit Plant Cultivators in our clan. It seems these wolves have a knack for cultivation."

Fu Changli was already envisioning training the wolf cubs to fight in wars during turbulent times, and to cultivate the fields during peace, killing two birds with one stone.

Standing nearby, Fu Molan smiled at Fu Changsheng and said:

"The Ladies of the House have their work cut out for them again."

The Primordial Blood Grass is a primary ingredient for refining the Tier Two Blood Essence Pill, which nourishes blood and boosts energy. Given the current Beast Tide, whether for personal use or for sale, it’s highly sought after.

Yu Qingru noticed that Fu Changsheng seemed a bit distracted and whispered: "Changsheng, is something amiss?"

Fu Changsheng shook his head.

According to the information provided, the Red-tailed Wolves had collected quite a few relics from cultivators, but despite multiple searches with his Divine Sense, he couldn’t locate the secret chamber:

"Looks like we need a professional."

Fu Changsheng slapped his storage bag, and with a flash of Dawn Light, the Cloud Ring Purple Immortal Tower instantly hovered before them as he infused a Technique into it.

With a hum.

The second layer of the Treasure Pagoda opened.

A white shadow leaped out from the tower—it was the Cyan-faced White Fox, which landed on Fu Changsheng’s shoulder, its tail held high.

Fu Changsheng nodded at its little raised head and tossed a Cloud Mulberry Fruit to it:

"White, go search, and see if you can find any hidden treasures in the cave mansion."
