Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 716: Chapter 295: Missing, Mother Gu, Reformed Spiritual Root (3)

"Whew."

Returning to the Yunshan County fief, entering the Secret Chamber of the Patriarch’s Mansion, closing the Array, Fu Changsheng sighed deeply. Casting aside all miscellaneous affairs, his gaze fell on the adjacent doppelgänger secret chamber:

"It’s time to refine the Unity Gu."

Ningning’s departure provided him a warning.

In case this doppelgänger sensed something amiss and fled like Yaoyao, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

The Unity Gu, like the Spirit-Luring Gu, is a specialized Gu insect that requires setting up a Sacrificial Refining Array. However, having watched Yaoyao operate it once before, he was quite familiar with the process and completed the setup within a few days.

Once everything was ready,

He cast a technique towards the secret chamber on the right side:

"Chang Lei, come out."

Rumbling sounds ensued.

The stone door opened.

Fu Changlei, dressed in cyan clothing, emerged from the secret chamber. Perhaps due to decades of secluded cultivation, his face appeared a bit pale.

Although Fu Changlei had vaguely developed self-awareness.

For now, he was still under the control of Fu Changsheng’s main consciousness, obediently sitting opposite Fu Changsheng.

Fu Changsheng patted his storage bag.

A dawn light flashed.

A box flew out instantly.

He cast a technique into the box, unlocking its restriction, and subsequently, the Mother and Child Unity Gu flew out from the bottle.

The Mother Gu, about the size of an infant’s fist, lacked facial features, appeared as a fleshy ball, was entirely pink, and had a pair of antennae on its chest; the Child Gu was slightly smaller and was entirely transparent.

According to the "Gu Dao True Understanding," the Unity Gu has three primary uses.

First, the Mother Gu can sense the location of the Child Gu.

Secondly, the host of the Child Gu must harbor no malice throughout their lifetime; once a disloyal thought arises, the Child Gu will devour their heart.

Moreover,

The Unity Gu and its host share life and death.

If the host of the Child Gu’s life is exhausted, the host of the Mother Gu can gain longevity.

From these three points, the Unity Gu is specifically developed as a means to control doppelgängers.

Fu Changsheng formed seals with his hands.

One technique after another was cast into the Sacrificial Refinement Grand Array.

Buzz!

Brilliant spiritual light arose.

A series of runes fell onto the Child Gu, which trembled slightly before transforming into a black light, shooting toward Fu Changlei’s heart.

At this moment,

Fu Changlei’s budding self-awareness clearly realized something.

His body moved.

About to escape.

"Roar!"

Simultaneously,

A Cyan Flood Dragon was seen coiling above his head.

Fu Changsheng opened his eyes, coldly saying:

"Either accept the Child Gu, or die!"

Fu Changlei’s face showed a look of struggle; just as he was about to activate a talisman held in his hand, Fu Changsheng glanced over, immediately intensifying his control over him.

Buzz!

The Child Gu took the opportunity to burrow into his heart.

At the same time,

The Mother Gu in mid-air also burrowed into Fu Changsheng’s heart. In an instant, he could sense the emotional fluctuations of Fu Changlei, changing from reluctance to submission, finally rising to bow and proclaim allegiance:

"Greetings, Master."

"Hmm."

Fu Changsheng exhaled slightly in relief.

The hidden dangers of the doppelgänger were eliminated.

Finally, he could sleep soundly in the future:

"Chang Lei, in the future, I will announce to the clan that you are the son of my Seventh Uncle, who has been wandering outside. From now on, you need not be confined in this secret chamber. The world is vast, you may go anywhere you wish, but remember, you must report to me regularly."

Fu Changlei looked up at Fu Changsheng in surprise.

He initially thought he would be driven like a slave in the future, and upon hearing this, he felt somewhat grateful and offered the spirit talisman he had been hiding in his sleeve with both hands:

"Master, this is the Spirit Storage Talisman I crafted after understanding the ’Spirit Void Talisman Scripture.’ The Tier Two Top-Grade Talismans you make can be nurtured within, and given time, they can advance to Tier Three Low-Grade Spirit Talismans."

This doppelgänger not only possesses a Thunder Spiritual Root,

But even has such outstanding talent in Talisman Making; excellent!

Fu Changsheng accepted the Spirit Storage Talisman crafted by the other party, expressing satisfaction:

"Chang Lei, since you are now a member of the Fu Family, you should change how you address me."

Fu Changlei looked up, realizing that Fu Changsheng was not lying, and excitedly called out, "Clan Leader."

At this moment,

A familiar mechanical voice echoed in Fu Changsheng’s Sea of Divine Sense:

"Ding!"

"You have subjugated a doppelgänger clansman with a Mutated Thunder Spiritual Root, earning four hundred and fifty-one Clan Contribution Points."

Immediately thereafter,

The Clan Contribution Points on the panel instantly changed to six thousand.

As Fu Changsheng was about to enter seclusion for cultivating the "Nine Heavens Star Technique," he introduced Fu Changlei to the clan members and had Fu Changlei move out of the Patriarch’s Mansion, creating a small courtyard on the Main Peak for him to reside in independently.

After attending to the matters concerning Fu Changlei,

Fu Changsheng called Fu Yongyi over:

"Stone, I received information that there might be a mine vein at the border between the Ten Thousand Mountains and the Eastern Wilderness Tribe. I need you to take Autumn Cicada and go together to investigate. Should you find anything, do not act hastily, and wait for me to come out of seclusion before proceeding."

With Autumn Cicada holding the Human Emperor Banner,

Which contains twenty Tier Two Ghost Soldiers already refined, and her own near Tier Three cultivation, under her leadership, Fu Yongyi should be free of trouble.

Fu Yongyi nodded and then said:

"Father, when you summoned me, my wife Qingru had just successfully broken through to Foundation Establishment. I was thinking of going to the Ten Thousand Mountains after her Foundation Celebration; I hope you will allow me."

"Hmm, there’s no rush for the Ten Thousand Mountains, but I have something important to attend to in seclusion. I cannot attend Qingru’s celebration, so this is my gift to her. Please pass it on to her for me."

"Thank you, Father!"

Fu Yongyi happily accepted it.

Fu Changsheng watched Fu Yongyi’s departing figure, sighed, and said, "If only all the children were this sensible."

After a while,

A cautious voice came from outside the door:

"Father, did you call for me?"

It was Fu Yongqiang.

Not seen for a month,

Unlike before, when he was always drunk and reeking of alcohol, he now appeared much more spirited.
