Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 726: Chapter 298: Origin, Turning Against Each Other, the Treasure is Revealed (10,000-Word Combined Chapter)

"Father, is the Tier Three Protective Array you need urgent? If it is, I can start modifying it now."

"Yes, the sooner, the better."

Fu Changsheng feared that the Spirit Stone Vein would be seized by others.

Yaoyao responded, took the Red Lotus Earth Core Fire and Star Stone, and returned to her secret chamber to get busy.

After a few days.

Fu Yongwei awoke leisurely.

Fu Changsheng hurried over upon hearing the news:

"Yongwei, how do you feel?"

"Patriarch, my body is fine, but I seem to... I seem to have awakened a talent for plundering and maturing Spirit Plants."

Fu Changsheng came prepared.

With a wave of his sleeve.

Several Tier One Scale Seven Grass plants instantly floated before Fu Yongwei:

"Yongwei, give it a try."

"Yes, Patriarch."

Fu Yongwei took a deep breath, took a Scale Seven Grass plant and placed it in her palm. After a while, there was a buzzing sound, and the Scale Seven Grass trembled slightly, then visibly vanished, condensing into a drop of Spirit Liquid.

Fu Changsheng’s eyes lit up.

Using his Divine Sense.

He discovered this Spirit Liquid was purer than the essence extracted through Alchemy, resembling the extraction of the plant’s life essence itself.

Fu Changsheng flipped his right hand, and the seed of the Celestial Flower floated mid-air. Accompanied by the Spirit Liquid, it dripped in with a tick.

Buzz!

The seed of the Celestial Flower began to take root and sprout, quickly growing ten inches tall, with a bud forming at the tip. Meanwhile, the medicinal power of the Spirit Liquid was exhausted.

Fu Changsheng’s eyes shone even brighter.

This verified that what Fu Yongwei extracted was indeed the life essence of the Scale Seven Grass, and it could also mature other Spirit Plants:

"Yongwei, try this Tier Two Low-Grade Celestial Cloud Grass."

"Yes, Patriarch."

Fu Yongwei calmed from her excitement, yet this time, no matter how much she urged, the Celestial Cloud Grass remained intact, and Fu Yongwei’s face began to pale, her body swaying as if about to fall.

"Alright, Yongwei."

"Patriarch, my... my ability seems to work intermittently."

Fu Yongwei felt a bit discouraged.

Fu Changsheng pondered for a moment, based on Yaoyao’s awakened Spirit Body abilities, he could roughly guess the situation. After Yongwei recovered, he performed several more tests.

Then he said:

"Yongwei, the reason you can extract the plant’s life essence is because you have awakened a Plant Spirit Body. However, according to your current situation, you can only extract Spirit Plants of a lower tier than your cultivation. Moreover, after extracting the essence, not only will your mana be exhausted, but your body will also fall into a period of weakness. So, regarding your Spirit Body abilities, you must never display them to anyone, not even your father and mother, understood?"

Fu Yongwei is currently only at the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation.

Only by breaking through to Foundation Establishment, or perhaps the Purple Mansion, or even higher cultivation stages, can this extraction of plant’s life essence be truly useful.

Therefore.

Before that.

Fu Yongwei needs to discreetly enhance her cultivation, or else if discovered, she could be taken away and used as a machine to mature Spirit Plants, losing her freedom, which is far bleaker than the situation of Shi Shutong being imprisoned by the Eastern Wilderness Tribe for Alchemy.

Fu Yongwei nodded:

"Thank you, Patriarch, for your guidance."

Fu Changsheng gave a few more instructions, planning to cultivate Yongwei discreetly as a key figure in the family in the future.

After a few days.

Fu Yongfan returned from Luofeng Mountain in Anyang County with Master Chen.

Master Chen was also nearly a hundred years old, yet he was still energetic, looking about seventy or eighty, and after parting ways with Fairy Lady Cai back then, he took many wives and concubines, and had numerous descendants.

Fu Changsheng saw that he had diligently contributed to the family for fifty or sixty years, so he allocated the Tier One Low-Grade Spirit Vein of Autumn Mountain in Anyang County as the clan land for Master Chen’s descendants, establishing the Chen Family as a Qi Cultivation Clan.

Chen Tiezhu remained in the Fu Family as the Hall Master of the Spirit Plant Hall.

Thus, the Chen Family developed well in these years, even producing a promising talent, currently at the Peak of Qi Cultivation, with Foundation Establishment expected to be no problem.

If the Fu Family gave a bit more support, it could promote the Chen Family under the Fu Family as the third Ninth-Grade Noble Family.

Fairy Lady Cai, upon seeing Chen Tiezhu, suddenly regained consciousness, and the couple said something unknown, with Chen Tiezhu crying bitterly.

Fairy Lady Cai passed away upon seeing Chen Tiezhu.

As the Hall Master of the Fu Family’s Spirit Plant Hall, she devoted her life to the Spirit Plant business of the Fu Family. Her passing plunged the entire Fu Family into mourning.

On the day of the funeral, the sky seemed tinged with sorrow, overcast with not a ray of sunshine. Within the Spirit Hall of the Fu Family, white drapes adorned every corner, gently swaying in the wind, murmuring endless grief. Fairy Lady Cai’s body was placed in the center of the Spirit Hall, her face serene, as if she were merely asleep. She wore her favorite plain robe in life, embroidered with Spirit Plant patterns she cultivated herself, now serving as her final adornment.

In front of the Spirit Hall, it was filled with offerings and Spirit Flowers sent by the entire Fu Family and friends from all sides.

The members of the Gan Family, donned in mourning attire, went forward one by one to pay respects to Fairy Lady Cai’s body, their eyes full of respect and reluctance.

The disciples of the Spirit Plant Hall cried so bitterly, as they deeply understood Fairy Lady Cai’s significance to the Spirit Plant Hall. Under her leadership, the Spirit Plant production climbed year after year, and many rare Spirit Plants propagated under her meticulous care. Now, with her passing, it’s as if the Spirit Plant Hall has lost its backbone.

As the funeral ceremony proceeded, waves of mourning music played.

As Fairy Lady Cai’s body was carried to the grave, Fu Family’s guards bore the coffin with heavy and slow steps. On both sides of the path, Fu Family’s servants knelt, sending Fairy Lady Cai off. The cemetery was located in a tranquil area behind the Fu Family’s mountain, surrounded by Spirit Plants she had cultivated in life. As the coffin was slowly buried, soil covered it shovel by shovel, marking the end of Fairy Lady Cai’s life. She shall forever rest in this land she so loved, accompanied by Spirit Plants.
