CHAPTER 32: CHAPTER 32: BREAKTHROUGH, PLEASANT SURPRISE

When Fu Changsheng chose to enter seclusion, the news of the Li Family’s annihilation quickly spread throughout Anyang County, and even the Eastern Wilderness.

The Celestial Dragon Tribe was actually the first to receive the news.

At this moment.

The Chief of the Celestial Dragon Tribe sat solemnly within his tent, with the tribe elders on both sides. The Chief’s expression was grave:

"The Soul Lamp of the Third Elder, who met with the Li Family, has been extinguished. According to the report from our informer in the Shangguan Family, the Third Elder’s whereabouts were exposed due to Fu Changsheng, the new Clan Leader of Luofeng Mountain, who passed on the information!"

"Chief, wasn’t that little kid who escaped Luofeng Mountain two and a half years ago only at the Qi Cultivation Second Layer? The Li Family really is pathetic, unable to deal with even a mere kid. They deserved to be exterminated by involving our third brother."

The Chief furrowed his brows:

"Never underestimate the people within the pass. According to the scout’s report, Fu Changsheng broke through to the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation several months ago, and having saved Shangguan Hongyu, he has aligned with the Shangguan Family. The Fu Family shows signs of rising, and a small spark may set the forest ablaze, so we must beware of the Fu Family."

"Chief, do you think Fu Changsheng would dare to come to our tribe to seek revenge?"

"It’s better to be safe than sorry. After all, we did annihilate their clan elders, so they surely harbor resentment. Instead of waiting for them to grow strong and retaliate, we should take the initiative to eradicate the Fu Family completely. Otherwise, our Celestial Dragon Tribe might end up like the Li Family."

Before the Chief finished his words.

Yasang, a middle-aged man standing on the left side, immediately stepped forward, kneeling with one knee, his right fist thumping his chest:

"Chief, Yasang requests permission to go to Anyang County to eliminate the remnants of the Fu Family."

The deceased Third Elder was Yasang’s father.

The enmity of a murdered father is irreconcilable.

The Chief naturally understood his feelings, and since Yasang was at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, while Fu Changsheng, the strongest in the Fu Family, was only at the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer, he nodded immediately:

"With the Li Family gone, the Fu Clan members will surely let their guard down. Yasang, when you reach Anyang County, seize the opportunity to kill Fu Changsheng first. Without their clan leader, the Fu Family will become disorganized and can be easily defeated piece by piece!"

"Yes, Chief, Yasang will not fail the mission!"

....

Anyang County.

Clan Leader Liuu was shocked for a long time upon learning of the Li Family’s extermination and murmured:

"The Li Family had accumulated over ninety Merit Points and was on the verge of ascending to the Ninth-Grade Noble Family, yet they foolishly colluded with outsiders!"

Sitting nearby, Liuu Meizhen sneered:

"They merely coveted the Fu Family’s fifty acres of Spirit Field and the Tier One Spirit Vein in their mountains. The Li Family had many cultivators, and the Spirit Vein at Niushou Mountain was insufficient for their cultivation. To rise to a Ninth-Grade Noble Family, someone needed to break through to Foundation Establishment, and the Spirit Stones required to nurture one are not trivial."

Clan Leader Liuu thought for a moment and understood.

He gave Liuu Meizhen a complex look.

He had heard some rumors.

It was said.

That the reason the Li Family met their end was that the Fu Family had tipped off the Shangguan Family.

The young boy who had come for help a few years ago, in less than three years, quietly eliminated his nemesis, the Li Family, proving he was not ordinary.

For years, he had intended to arrange a marriage between Meizhen and the second son of the Shangguan Family, but now it seemed his niece’s foresight in people far surpassed his:

"Meizhen, your engagement to Changsheng is less than two years away, and it’s about time to start planning. Once I’m done with the clan’s miscellaneous affairs, I’ll send an invitation to Changsheng."

...

Fu Family Territory, Luofeng Mountain.

In the Secret Chamber.

Fu Changsheng suddenly opened his eyes, forming a hand seal with his right hand. In an instant, a swift wind sound filled the Secret Chamber, accompanied by the whooshing sound of several air-piercing noises. Six Wind Blades shot like lightning towards the stone wall, leaving six deep grooves in the wall:

"Is this the power of the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer?!"

Fu Changsheng was both surprised and pleased.

Compared to before the breakthrough.

Now, when he executed the Wind Blade Technique, the Wind Blades he conjured had twice the number, and their power was also fifty percent stronger than before:

"No wonder breakthroughs are harder after reaching the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation; refining more True Qi results in more power."

While examining his Dantian internally.

The crimson True Qi within his Dantian had already surged to half-full. Once it was completely filled, he could attempt to compress the True Qi, condensing it into liquid, and step into the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Fu Changsheng then took out Li Qitai’s Thousand Layers Peak and performed a Sacrificial Refinement.

Now, he had the Profound Turtle Shield for protection, the Thousand Layers Peak for attack, along with the Little Cyan Snake and Ghost Servant Qiuchan as assistance, finally giving him some confidence.

His mind focused on the panel within his Sea of Divine Sense.

The "Clan Contribution Points" displayed a striking "sixty-six."

Without hesitation, he said:

"Redeem for a draw"

He was satisfied with the previously drawn items, but it’s unknown what he would get this time.

The panel hummed, gently trembling. As the Clan Contribution Points dropped to "sixteen," he suddenly felt a box appear in his sleeve.

Though it wasn’t his first draw.

He was still as excited and nervous as ever.

The box was white with leaf patterns.

Taking a deep breath.

He opened the box, and upon seeing the contents, Fu Changsheng couldn’t help but exclaim:

"This is....."

Inside the box.

There was a palm-sized Flying Ship:

"It’s actually a Flying Ship!"

Fu Changsheng never dreamed of owning a Flying Spiritual Artifact. The only time he had ridden a Flying Ship was when he returned to Luofeng Mountain with Shangguan Chen.

Gulp!

Fu Changsheng felt like he was dreaming.

His right hand trembled slightly as he held the Flying Ship in his palm, spending several days performing Sacrificial Refinement on it. A Technique was cast on the Flying Ship, which flashed with blue light and instantly transformed into a small boat that could carry five people:

"Great, it can even carry five people!"

Qi Cultivators cannot perform Sword Flight, and the only way to traverse was using a Flying Ship or a Flying Spirit Pet, but these were beyond the reach of their small family.

With this Flying Ship.

He no longer had to be confined to Nanyang County, and he could even travel to Kuili Mountain.

He remembered the intelligence indicating that Kuili Mountain contained Three-Colored Soil that could enhance the quality of Spirit Field.

Fu Changsheng lightly tapped the ground with his foot, his body landing gently on the Flying Ship. Upon stepping onto the Flying Ship, a series of information entered his mind. After digesting it, his eyes lit up. Casting a Technique on the deck, the Flying Ship glowed with blue light, and a light shield descended with a boom, making the Flying Ship vanish without a trace:

"It even has a built-in concealment Restriction!"

Fu Changsheng was more than satisfied.

He resisted the urge to fly a few circles outside with the Flying Ship, storing it in his storage bag.

His gaze returned to the panel.

He could now redeem eight more pieces of intelligence.

Without hesitation, he said:

"Redeem intelligence!"

Months had passed.

He wondered if the system had recorded any other useful new intelligence.
