Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

It took five thousand Clan Contribution Points to obtain this cultivation path. Fu Changsheng was full of enthusiasm, wishing he could complete the sacrificial refinement of the scrap iron right away.

He immediately went to the clan’s Storage Room to look for spiritual materials for arranging the array and happened to run into Fu Yongdan who was coming with a tray.

From afar, Fu Yongdan bowed:

"Greetings, Patriarch."

"What are you holding?"

"Reporting to the Patriarch, this is the Blood Replenishing Grass you previously brought back from the Tai Chi Locust Nest. The Lady of the House and Elder Gan have already refined it into Blood Recovery Pills, and I am instructed to return them to the clan treasury."

Blood Recovery Pills!

Fu Changsheng’s eyes lit up. These were refined in a timely manner; he didn’t know how much essence blood would be needed later for the scrap iron refinement, so it’d be good to have them in reserve:

"Just give me the pills."

"Yes, Patriarch."

Fu Yongdan promptly presented them with both hands, glanced around seeing no one else, and mustered the courage to say:

"Patriarch, my alchemy was previously stuck at the Tier One Top-Grade Spirit Pill, unable to advance further. But a few days ago, somehow, I felt a mysterious power descend upon me, which fortunately led me into an epiphany, allowing me to successfully breakthrough as a Tier Two Alchemist."

"I mentioned this to the Lady of the House."

"The Lady said, it was because the Patriarch bestowed the clan’s fortune upon me. Yongdan always keeps this in mind. Finally seeing the Patriarch today, I ask that the Patriarch accept Yongdan’s bow."

As she was the Lady’s first disciple, the Lady implied both openly and implicitly that those who achieved this were quite rare, making her feel both honored and grateful.

She immediately made a deep bow to the ground.

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly: "You alone should know this matter, do not mention it to others."

It’s not poverty but inequality to fear. With comparisons and competition, over time, divisions will arise among people, and fraternal strife is not uncommon.

"Yes, Patriarch."

Fu Yongdan quickly nodded.

Fu Changsheng put the Blood Recovery Pills into his pouch, and with a sweep of his Divine Sense, noticed that Fu Yongdan was already at the Peak of Qi Cultivation. After settling for a while longer, she would be able to establish her foundation.

Currently.

There were still three Foundation Establishment Pills left in the clan.

Fu Changsheng entered the clan treasury and carefully selected the spiritual materials needed for the Sacrificial Refining Array, a collection of nearly a hundred different types.

In the past.

The Fu Family would absolutely not have been able to gather such things, but since managing the Flying Dragon Marketplace and taking over the shops in Wanning Marketplace, the clan treasury’s variety of materials was dazzling.

This is the power of the clan.

Exiting the clan treasury and returning to the Patriarch’s Mansion, he found Yu Qingru, who had received the message, had been waiting for a long time. The setup of the Sacrificial Refining Array, from Fu Changsheng’s outsider perspective, seemed overly complex and time-consuming.

Nanny Liuu, having just returned from Brother Fan’s courtyard next door, happened to see the two entering the Secret Chamber together. Upon returning to her room, she spat:

"The vixen has come chasing to the door, truly shameless. No, I must report this to the Lady. If this woman truly thinks of this place as her own small courtyard, rumors will fly throughout the clan in the future."

Saying this.

Nanny Liuu quickly went to the study to find Liuu Meizhen.

Liuu Meizhen was writing a city defense strategy, and Nanny Liuu, like an ant on a hot pan, waited for quite a while. Seeing Liuu Meizhen finally put the pen down, she quickly whispered:

"Lady, that woman from the Yu Family just went into the Secret Chamber with the Patriarch. The two have yet to come out. That woman may usually be discreet, but having just ascended to a Ninth-Grade Family Head, dares to enter the hall immediately. Lady, this woman from the Yu Family must be guarded against. Who knows, she might suddenly turn up pregnant someday."

"Nanny, with such free time, why not keep an eye on Jade Lotus more? She’s about to give birth, and it’s her first." Liuu Meizhen remained unmoved.

"Lady, the first wife has Master Cai watching over there."

"Lady, although my words were crude, the reasoning wasn’t. You still need to pay more attention to the Patriarch. While I am still in robust health, if you could give birth to another young master or mistress, I would be able to take care of them."

As Nanny Liuu aged, she became fond of chatting on, and since she was a wet nurse and the only confidant brought from her maternal home who was still alive, Liuu Meizhen wasn’t annoyed, listening quietly.

....

On the other side.

It was Yu Qingru’s first time entering Fu Changsheng’s Secret Chamber. Although the two had consummated their relationship, an indescribable emotion still arose in her heart.
