Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 729: Chapter 298: Origin, Turning Against Each Other, the Treasure is Revealed (10,000-Word Combined Chapter)

He was also utterly mistaken, actually believing his son’s slander.

Even if the Fu Family possessed immense wealth, he lacked the ability to take advantage, especially after they obtained this warship, which only strengthened them further.

Understanding this.

Shangguan Clan Leader bowed to Fu Changsheng:

"Since Fu Clan Leader desires this warship, I will not covet what others love."

Saying this.

He swung his sleeve.

Collected all the Spirit Stones into his storage bag, and after leaving the Main Hall, Shangguan Li quickly approached:

"Father, how did it go? Did you manage to get the warship?"

With a complex look at his own son, Shangguan Clan Leader knew that if he truly listened to his son and opposed the Fu Family, it would mean putting personal interests above family interests.

For the sake of the Shangguan Family.

He could endure for hundreds of years.

Now that the Shangguan Family was entrusted to him, he absolutely could not allow the foundation laid by their ancestors to be squandered in his hands.

Therefore.

Shangguan Clan Leader nodded and said:

"The warship is ours; let’s go home and discuss further."

Shangguan Li was graceful and full of joy, but upon following Shangguan Clan Leader to their domain, he saw his father heading straight towards the Back Mountain Forbidden Area, leaving Shangguan Li stunned:

"Father, weren’t we supposed to gather trusted people to seize the Fu Family’s Spirit Stone Vein? Why are we going to the Forbidden Land now?"

"Once we reach the Forbidden Land, I will show you a family heirloom."

Family heirloom?

Shangguan Li was puzzled, yet curious.

Following all the way to the Forbidden Land, they saw two white-bearded elders guarding the entrance. Upon seeing Shangguan Clan Leader bringing Shangguan Li, the elders’ brows furrowed, but soon returned to normal.

The gate to the Forbidden Land opened.

Shangguan Clan Leader said:

"Li’er, you go inside first; I need to speak with the Palace Guardian Elder."

Shangguan Li did not doubt him.

And it was his first time entering the Forbidden Land, so he quickly entered through the stone gate.

At that moment.

Rumble!

The stone gate suddenly closed.

The Restriction sealed again, and there were rumbling noises from inside, making the two elders curious:

"Patriarch, why suddenly lock up the Young Clan Leader? The stone gate once shut will only open ten years later."

Moreover, it appeared Shangguan Clan Leader deceived his son into entering.

Shangguan Clan Leader did not elaborate.

He merely stated:

"Although Li’er has unlocked the Niwan Palace, the apertures of the Upper and Lower Dantians remain unopened. This is an opportunity for him to focus on cultivation."

In truth.

He feared his son would cause trouble outside.

His son, having advanced to Half-Step Purple Mansion, especially with his Spirit Pet also breaking through to Tier Three, had become more audacious; but there are always greater threats beyond the mountain. For the family’s sake, as well as his own, the best solution was to let him focus on cultivation for a period, calming his mind.

Deep down.

Shangguan Clan Leader feared being swayed by his son’s daily persuasion.

.....

Main Hall of the World Suppression Bureau.

After Grand Elder Shi left, only Fu Changsheng and Master Qin remained, and Master Qin took only six hundred thousand Spirit Stones from the floating ones and handed the storage ring to Fu Changsheng:

"Fu Clan Leader, this Celestial Dragon Warship now belongs to your Fu Family."

"Hall Master, this...."

The previous auction fetched sixty-eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

But Master Qin only took the starting minimum price, even leaving the Spirit Stones from the storage ring untouched, which alone was worth nearly ten thousand Spirit Stones, totaling almost ten thousand.

Master Qin laughed and said:

"Fu Clan Leader, no need for formalities. When the warship was distributed, the Governor had already instructed that if your Fu Family wished to purchase, it would be prioritized to your Fu Family."

Saying this.

Even Master Qin cast an envious glance at Fu Changsheng.

Because there were rumors that the Governor had acquired a Core Formation Spiritual Object, poised to retreat and attempt to form a Golden Core, with his success rate predicted at seventy to eighty percent, potentially forming an Eighth-Grade Golden Core.

With a Golden Core Master looking after the Fu Family.

Their advancement to a Seventh-Grade Noble Family was well within reach.

Such an opportunity, who wouldn’t be envious?

Fu Changsheng understood that the Governor was acknowledging the merit he had earned during the Yinan Tribe’s attack on the Marketplace, clearly showing genuine intention; he immediately expressed his gratitude:

"Then, please have Hall Master convey my thanks to the Governor."

Saying this.

He discreetly handed Master Qin a sum of Spirit Stones, for there was no prior connection between them; Master Qin scanned the stones with his Divine Sense, his smile growing more genuine, and he carefully explained all the functions of the Celestial Dragon Warship to Fu Changsheng, finishing with:

"This Celestial Dragon Warship was crafted by Grandmaster Qiuu of the Court’s Ten Thousand Treasures Hall. Despite some damage, its foundation is strong, and if your Fu Family finds a Talisman Array Master in the future, they can fully restore the warship."

Fu Changsheng hadn’t heard of Grandmaster Qiuu’s name.

But those titled Grandmasters often possessed Tier Four skills.

Upon leaving the World Suppression Bureau.

A familiar mechanical voice rang in his mind:

"Ding"

"You acquired a warship for the clan, earning three thousand thirty-four Clan Contribution Points."

Shortly after.

The clan contribution points on the panel swiftly changed to four thousand eight hundred.

Fu Changsheng felt a surge of determination, planning to have the system deduce the Purple Mansion Chapter of the Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique upon returning home. Previously, deducing the Foundation Establishment Chapter cost considerable Contribution Points, and he was unsure how much it would require to comprehend it fully this time.

Leaving Wanning Marketplace.

Fu Changsheng directly commanded the Cyan Flood Dragon to return.

The Tier Three Middle-Stage pressure of the Cyan Flood Dragon caused those harboring intentions to retreat at the mere sight.
