Among those in the clan meeting the criteria for Elder promotion, there are only three, namely Tier Two Refiner Runzhi, Grandmaster Yu, and the newly joined Shi Shutong.

Fu Changren naturally has no objection to this.

The two discussed the benefits and obligations of the Elder promotion; Fu Changsheng saw Brother Fan waiting outside not sure when, after years apart, perhaps due to cultivating the "Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill," Brother Fan seemed much taller than his peers, almost reaching his shoulder at just eleven or twelve, evidently more composed than before.

Fu Changren clearly noticed Brother Fan too.

He smiled and said:

"Patriarch, during these years of handling miscellaneous affairs, if Brother Fan isn't cultivating, he learns by my side. The affairs I entrusted to him were handled methodically, showing quite a presence as a patriarch."

Fu Changren, yet to marry and without children, unconsciously treats Brother Fan as his own child, often praising him in his words.

Fu Changsheng smiled and nodded slightly.

With a wave of his sleeve.

The array light curtain of the council hall lifted, inviting Brother Fan inside.

Brother Fan, as always, performed a bow:

"Son greets Father."

"Hmm."

Seeing the father-son conversation, Fu Changren silently exited the council hall, leaving them space. Upon reaching the door, Fu Yongfu hurriedly appeared:

"Uncle, I heard the Patriarch has returned?"

Fu Yongfu, the first disciple of Fu Changsheng.

Upon hearing the news, he immediately ran over from the Talisman Hall.

Fu Changren laughed and said:

"Yes, talking with Brother Fan in the council hall."

"Thank you, Uncle."

Fu Yongfu quickly walked to the council hall. Outside, he peered inside and then stood properly by the door, waiting until Brother Fan came out before rushing forward:

"Yongfu greets the Patriarch."

"Hmm, I just heard from your uncle that you have advanced to Tier One High-Grade Talisman Maker. Not bad, if you have any doubts about talisman making, speak freely."

"Yes, Patriarch, I've been crafting Tier One High-Grade..."

Fu Yongfu spoke endlessly; he had been waiting for this opportunity, as apart from Auntie Molan and the Patriarch, he was the highest tier talisman maker in the clan, yet both elders were absent, leaving many doubts unanswered. Now, they poured out in one go.

His throat dry, talking from daylight till sunset.

The evening banquet was ready.

Fu Changren came to urge:

"Yongfu, let the Patriarch catch his breath."

At the banquet.

Fu Changsheng formally introduced Shi Shutong to everyone in the clan.

Since Runzhi and Meizhen hadn't left seclusion, Fu Changsheng was in no rush and returned to his secret chamber cave mansion because there was a Spirit Gathering Tree and a Spiritual Spring inside, he had previously instructed Brother Fan to move in and also help care for the Three-Transformation Cyan Lotus.

Years passed.

The growth of the Three-Transformation Cyan Lotus was minimal.

Just as he took out Life Source Water, a familiar mechanical voice echoed in his mind:

"Ding"

"You have established the Elder Hall for the clan, obtaining sixty Clan Contribution Points."

Immediately after.

The Contribution Points on the panel changed from eight hundred fifty to nine hundred ten.

This was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Fu Changsheng cast the technique on the jade bottle; as the lid was opened, a vibrant life aura rushed out, showing a bit of anticipation, he pointed at the jade bottle, a drop of Life Source Water fell onto the root of the Three-Transformation Cyan Lotus.

Buzz!

The Three-Transformation Cyan Lotus trembled slightly.

Soon the third tender sprout grew visibly by the eye.

In no time, it turned into the size of a child's palm.

Meanwhile.

The medicine age increased by five hundred years:

"It indeed works!"

In other words.

As soon as he dropped the last of the Life Source Water, the Three-Transformation Cyan Lotus would fully mature.

Fu Changsheng's breathing turned rapid.

With a technique, he cast onto another jade bottle, the restriction dissipated, and the vibrant life aura spread out, accompanied by Fu Changsheng's guidance.

"Drip"

The second drop of Life Source Water fell onto the root of the Three-Transformation Cyan Lotus.

The third leaf of the Three-Transformation Cyan Lotus quickly spread out, turning to match the specifications and color of the other two leaves.

Buzz!

The Cyan Lotus vibrated once.

The three-thousand-year medicine age achieved instantly, naturally shedding.

Fu Changsheng hurriedly used a technique to secure the Three-Transformation Cyan Lotus in a prepared box, sealed with layer upon layer of restrictions, displaying excitement and eagerness on his face:

"After ten years, finally nurtured this Three-Transformation Cyan Lotus to maturity."

Next.

Once Runzhi leaves seclusion, he can have them help refine it into an embryo, then use the "Seven-Aperture Treasure Refining Technique" to temper it into his desired shape of a magical artifact.

During the waiting time.

He took out the "Seven-Aperture Treasure Refining Technique" to carefully study again.

Once he finished revisiting.

Suddenly, a rapid buzzing sound emerged from his waist. It was Meizhen leaving seclusion after breaking through to the Peak of Qi Cultivation.

The couple hadn't seen each other for long; Meizhen asked right away:

"Husband, are Brother Rong and Yaoyao adapting well in the fief?"

Indeed, the heart of parents is tender worldwide.

Fu Changsheng smiled, embraced her in his arms, and shared all the details about Yaoyao and Brother Rong that he could. During their few days of solace, he brought up serious matters:

"Meizhen, you've met Elder Shi, next I want him to help with refining a batch of Ghost Cherry Pill. Due to Elder Shi's injury, refining Tier Two Spirit Pill requires assistance, are you willing to lend a hand? I have already spoken with Elder Shi to impart some experience for your advancement to Tier Two Alchemist."

He said.
