The two agreed to meet early the next morning.

Shangguan Feng went to meet an old friend, while Fu Changsheng headed towards West Street.

Last night, because of the attack by Qiuo Taifeng and his brother, he couldn't buy the Demonic Seed. This time, he couldn't miss it again.

He quickened his pace.

After entering West Street.

The vendors on both sides were constantly shouting.

Fu Changsheng swept his Divine Sense around.

From a distance, he saw an old Daoist in the middle section, the old Daoist's voice was like a grand bell:

"Come, come, don't miss it as you pass by. These are treasures I risked my life to bring out from the Blood-colored Forbidden Area, selling today by chance, come and have a look...."

Although the old Daoist was shouting energetically.

There were no cultivators stopping at his stall.

Fu Changsheng stood in front of the old woman selling Mulberry Heart Fruits, and the old woman smiled and said:

"Fellow Daoist, these are the specialty of our Qianyun Village, Mulberry Heart Fruits have mild properties, even mortal elders and children can eat them. Ten Mulberry Heart Fruits are sold for only nine Spirit Stones. If you buy more, the old woman will also give you the seedlings of the Mulberry Heart Fruit as a gift. Fellow Daoist, how many do you want?"

Mulberry Heart Fruits need to grow in a place extremely rich in Fire Attribute Spiritual Qi.

They generally grow in volcanic magma.

Even if seedlings are given as a gift, ordinary people couldn't keep them alive.

Moreover.

This is a Tier One Low-Grade Spirit Fruit, only beneficial for cultivators to draw in Spiritual Qi. If not for young ones at home, generally no one would buy it, so the old woman's stall was still full of Mulberry Heart Fruits.

After paying more than twenty thousand in deposits.

Fu Changsheng didn't have many Spirit Stones left, so he had to be frugal, just looking around. After changing several stalls, he finally arrived in front of the old Daoist from the Blood-colored Forbidden Area.

The old Daoist had already noticed Fu Changsheng.

Seeing that Fu Changsheng was an unfamiliar face, he immediately introduced enthusiastically the scraps he brought out from the Blood-colored Forbidden Area, of course, more than half were not taken from the Forbidden Area.

Fu Changsheng glanced at a golden mask on the left side, the mask was heavily rusted, but holding it in hand immediately gave a sense of ancient desolation.

The old Daoist saw that Fu Changsheng picked the genuine article right away and said:

"Fellow Daoist, you really have a keen eye. This dragon-shaped mask was something I picked up from a mysterious cavern in the Blood-colored Forbidden Area. At that time, there was a corpse sitting on one side, and that corpse didn't show any signs of weathering even after countless years. From this perspective, this dragon-shaped mask must be extraordinary."

"Fellow Daoist, you seem destined to have this mask today. You only need to pay the money for risking my life in the Blood-colored Forbidden Area to take it away."

The old Daoist looked earnest.

However.

The money for risking one's life as a Late-Stage Qi Cultivator isn't cheap,

Fu Changsheng couldn't see any usefulness for this mask and put it back on the stall, his gaze falling on three dusty gray seeds.

These seeds.

Were half white and half black.

And faint runes were engraved inside.

He scanned them with his Divine Sense.

But couldn't sense any signs of life.

Yet the information mentioned that one of these three seeds was a live seed.

He then asked:

"How much for these seeds?"

The many items displayed on the stall.

The dragon-shaped mask and the Demonic Seeds were among the few taken from the Blood-colored Forbidden Area. The old Daoist observed Fu Changsheng picking precisely and thought to himself:

"Could this young man have also been to the Blood-colored Forbidden Area?"

It seems he encountered an expert today.

Whether it was the dragon-shaped mask or the Demonic Seeds, he had experimented countless times and couldn't find anything special about them. When he tried to sell them to shops, none were willing to take them.

The rest of the uninformed cultivators were even less interested.

So they had been on his stall for several years, finally encountering someone asking for their price, after some deliberation, he transmitted quietly:

"If Fellow Daoist truly desires them, I'll sell the seeds and the dragon-shaped mask together for five hundred Spirit Stones. This is the lowest price I'll offer. These are items I brought out from the Blood-colored Forbidden Area, risking my life, and won't sell for a stone less."

"Four hundred thirty-two"

Fu Changsheng offered a price.

With an odd number.

This puzzled the old Daoist, hesitating a moment, could this be all the Spirit Stones the other had?

Otherwise.

Most would offer a round number.

He gritted his teeth and said:

"Deal!"

After the exchange of goods and money,

At this moment.

The panel in the Sea of Divine Sense space began to tremble violently:

"Has it finally arrived?!"

Being conferred as a Quasi-Ninth-Grade Noble Family.

The system definitely had something to express.

He was currently short of money and had no mood to continue shopping, so he promptly walked towards the inn.

Upon returning to the inn, after closing the door.

Fu Changsheng immediately set up a new Defense Array in his room.

After activating the Array.

Fu Changsheng's mind focused intently on the system panel.

He was full of anticipation about how many Contribution Points would be rewarded for this promotion to a Quasi-Ninth-Grade Noble Family.

After waiting for about the time it takes to drink a small cup of tea,

Finally.

The panel stopped trembling.

A familiar mechanical voice resounded in his mind:

"Ding"

"You have successfully promoted the Fu Family to a Quasi-Ninth-Grade Noble Family, and received three thousand Clan Contribution Points!"

Immediately following.

The panel's Clan Contribution Points leaped from four hundred eighty-one to three thousand four hundred eighty.

Clearly.

After breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

The Contribution Points cap was no longer a thousand.

Looking at the three thousand four hundred eighty Contribution Points on the panel.

Fu Changsheng's eyes lit up.

This was the most Contribution Points he had ever received until now!

Moreover.

These were Contribution Points earned from being promoted to a Quasi-Ninth-Grade Noble Family.

When he later advanced to Ninth Grade, it would be even more, perhaps five thousand or even six thousand!

After the excitement.

He began to ponder how to use these Contribution Points.

If used for Double Lottery, he could participate over a dozen times.

If used in the [Training Room], it would equate to over a dozen more years of lifespan for cultivation.

Considering that he would attend the Foundation Establishment cultivator exchange meeting tomorrow, and since he intended to trade items, going empty-handed would surely mean he couldn't acquire the Human Emperor Banner.

"Let's try the Double Lottery a few times first."

Getting items like the Cangming Stone would be ideal.

If not.

They could also be used for exchanges at the marketplace.
