Family Rise: Start with Daily Intelligence

Patriarch Cui said solemnly:

"It's not impossible. This time, the scale of the beast tide in the Hundred Thousand Mountains is the largest in history, and the Great Zhou Dynasty and the sects in the far west are at war. Maybe the other side wants to take this opportunity to let the court It’s not necessarily possible to divert manpower from the battlefield to relieve the pressure.”

"but"

"This is not what we have to consider at the moment. The insect tide is now in our Huainan Mansion. We have to find a way to kill them as soon as possible before they give birth to a third-level insect king."

Everyone discussed it.

Halfway through the meeting, a rapid buzzer sounded from everyone at the same time, but it was the Secretary of Zhenshi who directly issued the recruitment order:

"The black beetle that appeared in Huainan Prefecture is the Taichi Locust, a mutant species of the Western Desert Locust, which first appeared in our Great Zhou Dynasty. All the aristocratic families immediately organized manpower to take charge of the insect tide near their respective fiefdoms, focusing on culling the second-order Taichi Locust. Every time one was killed, Only, you can get fifty court merit points."

Compared with the previous reward for killing monsters, it has increased several times.

immediately.

The Zhenshi Division issued another reward order:

"No matter which family you belong to, whoever comes up with an effective method to extinguish the Tai Chi Locust Tide will be directly rewarded with one thousand imperial merit points!"

Change to the past.

I want to get one thousand court merit points.

That would require killing a hundred second-level early-stage demon generals.

Obviously.

The imperial court responded very quickly to this insect outbreak, and it was obvious that there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and wanted to quickly eliminate the insect outbreak.

After everyone heard the summons.

They each took a look, with a hint of excitement in their eyes.

This is an insect outbreak.

If they can seize the opportunity, it will undoubtedly be a great opportunity to accumulate merit points for the imperial court.

The council quickly dispersed.

Fu Changsheng returned to the secret room again.

A meeting of elders was immediately held.

Unlike other aristocratic families, which suffered more or less losses, the Fu family discovered it in the most timely manner and responded very quickly, so the losses were still within the acceptable range.

After everyone has arrived.

Fu Changsheng's eyes fell on Yaoyao first:

"Yaoyao, has Uncle Yu finished engraving the formation patterns on the Star Tower?"

"Replying to father, the engraving has been completed. Grandpa Yu is doing the final inspection. If it is correct, the star connection tower can be activated at any time to operate the Demon Control City!"

Fu Changsheng originally wanted to discuss who would stay in the fiefdom and who would form a team to kill the Taiji Locusts. After hearing what Yaoyao said, he temporarily put aside the recruitment order and reward order from the Zhenshi Division, intending to see how the defenses of Yuyao City were activated. , see how it works before making any plans.

Immediately led everyone to the star receiving tower.

In the tower.

Grandmaster Yu has completed the inspection.

As assistants, Yu Qingru and Yaoyao sat cross-legged behind Grandmaster Yu. The three of them made secrets one after another, and struck one after another into the formations engraved on the six star stones. However, they saw that the formations on them were not. Each one was lit up, and each medium-grade spiritual stone fell into the groove.

Buzz!

The array patterns on the satellite tower were quickly lit up.

The formation patterns on the entire tower correspond to the positions of countless stars in the sky, and are obviously more complex than the mountain-protecting formation on Luofeng Mountain.

Boom!

The entire satellite tower shook violently.

Immediately afterwards.

Fu Changsheng suddenly sensed something and raised his head suddenly, only to see the power of stars all over the sky suddenly falling down in the void, directly breaking through the black clouds where the insect swarm condensed, and converging towards the star connection tower.

boom!

The power of the rolling stars fell into the star receiving tower.

Immediately afterwards.

But he saw that the cornerstone talisman arrays of the inner city were lit up one by one, followed closely by the inner city wall. The speed was extremely fast. In less than half a cup of tea, all the talisman arrays on the outer city wall were also lit up.

Boom! !

The entire demon-controlling city.

At this moment, bright stars burst out.

The starlight penetrated the dark clouds of the insect swarm, appearing like a treasure left in the world.

The He family, the nearest neighbor, saw this scene from a distance and was extremely shocked as they watched a steady stream of star power fall into the Fu family's fiefdom.

The city of the Fu family.

Patriarch He was fortunate enough to have been in and out of the Fu family and had seen it a few times from a distance. Although he could only get a glimpse of its appearance, he felt that it was not a dead city, but a sleeping ancient desolate beast.

It lasted seven years.

Now this ancient wild beast has completely awakened!

The moment when the Demon City was activated.

The Tai Chi locusts that were wandering nearby immediately swarmed in, and their long tentacles fell on the protective light shield of Yuyao City.

When everyone in the tower saw this, their hearts tightened.

Fu Changli said quickly:

"Grandmaster Yu, please activate the illusion formation of Yuyu City quickly. These Tai Chi locusts are monster insects that specialize in devouring spiritual energy. If you are late, the light shield of Yuyu City will be broken in an instant."

The devouring power of the Taiji Locust.

They are there for all to see.

Yaoyao saw Fu Changli's nervous face, but she comforted him and said:

"Third Uncle, don't worry. Since Grandpa Yu dares to reduce the protection range of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Formation to behind the Demon Yu City, there will definitely be no problem with the defense of the Yu Demon City."

They spent seven years building this with all their efforts.

Everyone heard this.

His doubtful eyes fell on the magic circle's light shield.

But he saw dots of starlight surging above the light shield.

The tentacles of the Tai Chi locusts lying on it tested various places, and found that there was no spiritual energy at all, so they separated the huge light shield in disappointment.

The tide of insects in the sky above the Demon City suddenly dissipated.

Fu Changli's eyes lit up when he saw it:

"Why did this Tai Chi Locust run away on its own?"

Fu Changsheng's eyes fell on the array plate forged from six pieces of star stone, and he explained:

"The power of the array of the Demon Control City comes from the power of the stars in the sky. The power of the stars is not in the five elements of spiritual power. The Taiji locusts cannot be devoured and will leave automatically."

As soon as these words came out,

everyone suddenly realized.

Master Yu waved his hand to everyone and said:

"Yaoyao, Miss Qingru and I still need to check the functions of the Demon Control City array. You should leave in advance."

For the carefully built Demon Control City.

Master Yu's eyes burst into an unprecedented light.

Fu Changsheng led everyone back to the meeting hall of the main peak Taiyi Peak. As soon as he sat down, a familiar mechanical sound rang in his mind:

"Ding"

"Your fiefdom has successfully built a Demon Control City and obtained 2,000 family contribution points!"

Two thousand? !

Fu Changsheng was really shocked.

This is only so many rewards for the ninth-grade family.

Seeing the family contribution value on the panel suddenly climbed to 3,850, Fu Changsheng suddenly felt more confident about the upcoming beast tide.

After everyone sat down one after another.

Fu Changsheng then spoke:

"The Zhenshi Division has issued a conscription order and a bounty order not long ago. All the families immediately began to clear the insect tide in their fiefdoms, especially the second-level Taiji locusts. This time, if you kill a second-level Taiji locust, you can get 50 court merit points. In addition, if you find an effective way to clear the Taiji locusts, you will be rewarded with a thousand court merit points!"

At present.

Whether it is the spiritual vein level, foundation building combat power or the second-level technician, the Fu family has met the conditions for promotion to the eighth rank. The only thing left is the court merit points and the appearance of two ninth-rank families in the fiefdom.

And Yu Qingru has brought good news.

Before the insect tide broke out, another member of the Yu family had successfully broken through to the foundation building stage and wanted to go to the Zhenshi Division for the ninth-rank family identification.

But the insect tide broke out.

The recognition of the ninth-grade family can only be postponed.

However.

The promotion of the Yu family to the ninth-grade is a foregone conclusion.

As long as the Fu family gathers the merit points of the court and supports another ninth-grade family, they can be promoted to the eighth-grade in one fell swoop.

The eighth-grade family will definitely be able to access more high-level resources.

Otherwise.

Shangguan Feng and his daughter would not have successively entered the ranks of the half-step purple mansion repair after the Shangguan family was promoted to the eighth grade.

Right now.

The outbreak of the beast tide is a great opportunity for them to earn merit points of the court.

After listening to Fu Changsheng's retelling, everyone's eyes lit up, especially Fu Changli:

"Master, these Taiji locusts will devour corpses to advance, but I have observed that they are at their lowest strength within a dozen breaths of breaking through to the second level. Otherwise, how about we let some of the insect tide into the city, strangle them and leave one, let it devour corpses to upgrade and then kill it?"

"Fourth sister, your idea is good, but the risk is too high."

Fu Changsheng shook his head:

"We still don't know how these Taiji locusts reproduce. The outer city of Yuyao City is inhabited by ordinary mortals. If Taiji locusts are allowed to enter, once they are allowed to reproduce, the consequences will be disastrous."

Fu Changli heard this.

Thinking of the Taiji locust eggs that appeared overnight, his face changed, and he hurriedly said:

"Master is still thoughtful"

Runzhi pondered for a while.

He said:

"Master, if we set up the formation in the wild and follow Changli's suggestion, what do you think?"    "Well, this is feasible. We can divide into three hunting teams and each team will bring a second-level formation master. The court has not stipulated when the second-level Taiji locusts must be wiped out. We can take it slowly and not rush. Safety is the priority."

The next question is the division of teams.

The three second-level formation masters are naturally Master Yu, Yaoyao and Yu Qingru.

In addition, for the foundation-building clan members, because Fu Molan and Yulian are guarding the fiefdom of Pingshan County and the clan land of Anyang County, Fu Changsheng decided to send Fu Yongyi and Fu Changli to guard. The mountain protection formation in the clan land also uses the power of stars, so the pressure of guarding the formation is not great.

As for Runzhi and Fu Changli, they are guarding the fiefdom of Yunshan County.

So it comes down to it.

In addition to the three formation masters, the remaining foundation builders were Fu Changsheng, Rong Ge'er, Ouyang Fei, and the retreating Liu Meizhen.

Fu Changsheng pondered and said:

"Once we leave the protective formation, we may be besieged by insect swarms at any time. The Qi Refining Clan members do not need to go out. Among the remaining people, I will be paired with Qingru, Rong Ge'er will be paired with Uncle Yu, and Uncle Fei will be with Yaoyao."

They are all strong and weak.

Naturally, everyone has no problem.

Fu Changli hesitated for a moment, but still said:

"Master, can you swap me with Rong Ge'er? When we are in the wild, I can observe and study the Taiji locusts. Maybe I can figure out a way to eliminate the Taiji locusts."

As soon as these words came out,

Ouyang Fei immediately seconded the proposal:

"Changli's idea is good. In addition, Rong Ge'er has just broken through the foundation and has not yet refined his life magic weapon. It is more appropriate for him to stay in the clan to guard the formation."

Ouyang Fei was afraid that the symbiotic spirit beast in Rong Ge'er's body could not be controlled and ran out. If it was seen by outsiders, it would be bad. Although he was teaming up with Master Yu, he was still worried.

"Okay, then do as you said, Uncle Fei, everyone go back and prepare, and when Uncle and the others are free, we will set off."

After the meeting.

Fu Changsheng once again studied the information provided by the system before.

There was a very useful piece of information in it.

That is a coffin forged from star stone in the Cao family cemetery.

Since the star stone in his hand was refined, the "Nine Heavens Star Art" body tempering technique has also been stranded for many years, and the current state is still in the meat refining state.

Want to break through Zifu.

Open up the two Dantians.

Then he must at least complete the "Nine Heavens Star Jue" to the level of muscle refining, which is the level of muscle refining.

also.

The Cao Family Foundation Establishment should have been in a hurry when they left. If you go exploring at this time, you may still be able to find something useful.

It's like the three masters came out of the Star Tower.

Three groups of people came together.

Fu Changsheng said:

"Since we want to attract the Tai Chi Locusts into the battle, it is best for the three groups of us to act separately, otherwise the Tai Chi Locusts will swarm in all at once. There are too many and the risk is too high. Before killing the second-order Tai Chi Locusts, we'd better first Remove the first-order Taiji Locusts nearby, and if there are any problems, report them immediately."

"clear"

Three groups of people came out of Yuyao City.

In three directions respectively.

He family.

Inside Huike Garden.

The four Cao family members temporarily settled here.

Cao Xueyang walked in from the door with an anxious look:

"Father, third uncle, sixth brother, people from the He family said that Patriarch He was attending a meeting of the Ninth Grade Family and couldn't get away for a while."

They originally wanted to ask for help from the He family, so they sent a few more foundation builders to follow them back to the fiefdom to rescue the Qi Refining tribe members in the refuge.

But for now.

The He family obviously does not have this intention.

Cao Xueyang said angrily:

"Father, the shelter in the fief has enough food reserves. It is safer for the tribesmen to stay there than for us to risk bringing them back at this time."

"I think"

"The top priority of our Cao family is to choose the master of the family first. Otherwise, we will have no idea what decrees the imperial court has issued or what the ninth-grade family is discussing."

As soon as this statement came out.

The three people's eyes naturally fell on Elder Cao Er.

It was obvious that he would inherit the position of head of the family by default.

Elder Cao Er said:

"When the Ninth-Rank Family chooses a new head, they have to go to the Zhenshi Division to confer the title. The distance from the He family to Wanningfang City is too far, and there are too many variables. Let's wait and see what the Ninth-Rank Family Council concludes. Say it again.”

There was a pause.

Elder Cao Er sighed:

"Now our clan's spiritual veins and secular clan members have all been destroyed by the insect wave. According to the imperial decree, if you want to keep the title of a ninth-grade family, you must re-cultivate a second-level spiritual vein in the fiefdom within ten years. One hundred thousand people."

"The ancestors shed their blood and sacrificed their lives to build this foundation. Now it is ruined in our hands. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are in the future, we must keep the title of the ninth-grade family."

Cao Xueyang felt guilty.

However, he ignored the old father's worries and said:

"Father, I think back then there were only four cultivators left in the Fu family, and the one with the highest cultivation level was only at the third level of Qi refining. Our Cao family, regardless of the Qi refining clan members in the shelter, only relied on the four of us to build foundations to complete the above two levels. If it takes ten years to achieve a goal, three to five years will be enough.”

Elder Cao San glanced at Cao Xueyang.

Xueyang is still too young.

If it were a peaceful and prosperous time.

Maybe they still have a chance to accomplish their goals in a short period of time.

But now is the time when the beast tide breaks out. It is unknown how long this beast tide will last. It is also unknown whether they can survive the beast tide while living under the people.

What else did Cao Xueyang want to say.

But he swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

In front of them, there is a shortcut that can easily complete the two indicators required by the court.

After Patriarch He came out of the family council, the guards outside the door reported back:

"Master of the family, after the Cao family learned that you participated in the family council, they have come several times to inquire about the information."

Patriarch He narrowed his eyes slightly.

At the Aristocratic Family Council, after hearing that Fu Changsheng had warned everyone in the Cao family about the insect infestation, they were obviously more wary of the four foundation builders of the Cao family who had defected to them.

Patriarch Cao died in mysterious circumstances.

Patriarch He had a change of heart.

A decision was made quickly.

He told the guards:

"Inform all the elders to come to the meeting hall. I will go to Huikeyuan and then come back."

"Yes, Master"

Patriarch He dodged several times and quickly arrived at Huikeyuan.

Elder Cao Er was surprised to see Patriarch He come to the door in person, and hurriedly greeted him:

"Clan Chief He, if you have something to tell the guards, please come here if you need any work."

Patriarch He said a few polite words.

After the five people took their seats.

Patriarch He went straight to the point:

"Four fellow Taoists, I have just received a decree from the imperial court. For you, it is undoubtedly good news to revive the Cao family."

Said.

The recruitment order and the reward order were mentioned together.

At the end he said:

"As long as you seize the opportunity of this insect wave and kill a few more second-order Tai Chi locusts, and accumulate enough merit points for the court, you can redeem a second-order spiritual vein from the court."

This way.

There will be a place to stay.

Elder Cao Er heard some hidden meaning, cupped his hands and said:

"What Patriarch He said is exactly what he said. In that case, the four of us will add up."

"Well, if any of my fellow Taoists want to go out, please let me know at any time."

Patriarch He stood up and left.

After others leave.

Elder Cao Er used a soundproofing spell.

His face darkened:

"The He family is issuing an eviction order."

Cao Xueyang heard that if they really left, how could they occupy the magpie's nest, so he hurriedly said:

"Father, the more so, the more we can't step out of the He family's fiefdom. Otherwise, we won't even have a place to rest in the future. Moreover, killing the second-level Taiji locust seems to be very tempting, but it is also very dangerous. It is better for us to stay in the He family and wait for this wave of insects to pass."

If the He family's foundation is damaged in this beast tide.

Then it will be more convenient for them to take action.

The second elder Cao pondered for a while and said:

"The He family was able to accept a few of us in times of crisis because of the past affection. Now our Cao family and the He family are no longer equal, and the He family has no reason to keep us. In this case, we will go to Wanning Market first and inherit the ninth-rank family head before making plans."

"In addition"

"We left in a hurry at that time, and it's time to return to the fiefdom."
