"Molan, you get off the flying ship first."

The red sea fog was impenetrable to the naked eye.

However, Fu Changsheng, who had developed divine sense, could see that the Yu family was not far, just eight zhang away from the red fog sea. Once Molan landed on the ground, he quickly activated the flying ship.

The flying ship, under the control of his divine sense,

with a buzzing sound,

transformed into a streak of green light and dashed into the red fog sea.

"The flying ship?!"

Granny Yu, who had already fallen into despair, thought it was a hallucination when she saw the flying ship. Yet the murmuring voice directed them forward:

"Go!"

Granny Yu, along with Yu Qingru and another person, tapped her toes on the ground and lightly landed on the flying ship. The flying ship moved extremely fast, accompanied by a tearing sound through the air, escaping the red fog before the Red-eyed Ghost Fox could unleash a second wave of attacks.

At that moment,

the red fog sea behind them started to churn violently,

rapidly expanding outward.

Fu Changsheng and Fu Molan leaped gently and landed on the flying ship, which instantly transformed into a streak of green light speeding away.

Only when the red fog sea was no longer visible behind,

did the flying ship finally dock at the mountainside of Skull Mountain, a place Fu Changsheng had scouted beforehand.

On each side of the mountainside were natural caves.

Fu Changsheng clasped his hands and said:

"Fellow Daoist Yu, you three have suffered significant injuries—this Skull Mountain is relatively safe. Please heal yourselves inside as quickly as possible."

Granny Yu looked at Fu Changsheng's familiar facial features, feeling a rush of emotions. However, she still returned the courtesy and said:

"Thank you, Fu Clan Leader, for your rescue. I have nothing to offer in return but these two Qu Yuan Fruits, which I ask you to accept."

The Red-eyed Ghost Fox guarded the Qu Yuan Fruit.

The Qu Yuan Fruit is used by Qi cultivators to refine their body and enhance their qi and blood.

For cultivators to break through the Three Great Foundation Establishment Gates, including divine sense, qi and blood, and true qi,

the Qu Yuan Fruit is extremely hard to obtain at the outside marketplace.

The Yu family risked their lives in the red fog sea just to pick these few Qu Yuan Fruits.

Such precious items.

Fu Changsheng would never have imagined that Granny Yu would be willing to give them away:

"Fellow Daoist Yu, the Qu Yuan Fruit is too valuable."

"In comparison to Fu Clan Leader's life-saving grace, a few Qu Yuan Fruits are nothing."

"Then I shall accept them graciously."

Fu Changsheng exchanged a few polite words.

There was no way he'd refuse such a rare spiritual fruit.

He handed another Qu Yuan Fruit to Molan, as the first consumption of the Qu Yuan Fruit has the best effect, while subsequent uses have negligible impact.

Granny Yu saw this and nodded slightly, advising:

"The Qu Yuan Fruit should be consumed promptly after picking to maximize its medicinal power, Fu Clan Leader. Let us discuss further after you refine the Qu Yuan Fruits."

Granny Yu's face was pale,

obviously heavily injured, and both Yu Qingru and another person were even worse off, on the verge of collapsing, making it inappropriate to discuss team matters.

Both parties clasped hands.

And went into their respective caves.

Inside the cave, Fu Changsheng used his mana to block the entrance with a large stone, then released Xiaoqing to keep watch. He turned to Molan and said:

"Molan, let's refine the Qu Yuan Fruits promptly."

Fu Molan nodded slightly.

Fu Changsheng chose a spot furthest inside to sit cross-legged. After taking a deep breath, he opened his mouth to swallow the Qu Yuan Fruit.

Once the Qu Yuan Fruit was ingested,

a surge of powerful medicinal power rushed through his body like a wild horse, causing intense pulling sensations. Fu Changsheng grunted, quickly operating his cultivation technique to bind the medicinal power into strands of energy, repeatedly flushing his body along the Heaven and Earth Bridge.

The powerful pain from refining his body felt like teetering on the edge of life and death.

Several times,

Fu Changsheng felt like he would faint from the pain but managed to grit his teeth and endure.

Time flew by,

and a period passed,

when Fu Changsheng opened his eyes, he found himself encased in a giant cocoon of grime, and with a flick of his forefinger, the grime shattered.

Inspecting his body internally,

he found that after refining, his body felt considerably lighter, his meridians had doubled in width, and most noticeably, his heartbeats were significantly stronger, with a marked increase in qi and blood.

By Foundation Establishment qi and blood standards,

he had evidently completed one-third:

"Not bad."

Fu Changsheng was quite satisfied.

Currently at only the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, he could later supplement the remaining two-thirds of qi and blood by finding similar spiritual objects as the Qu Yuan Fruit. By then, his Qi Blood Barrier would be perfectly completed.

Upon rising,

Fu Changsheng saw Molan, who had completed refining the medicinal power of the Qu Yuan Fruit earlier. She was now sitting cross-legged, performing sacrificial refinement on a puppet from the ruined palace.

During the journey,

she had mostly completed it,

and now seemed to be in the final stages.

Fu Changsheng swept his divine sense across the adjacent cave mansion, seeing Granny Yu had not yet emerged. He immediately looked at the panel and willed:

"Exchange information!"

He needed to gather as much information as possible about the current state of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss.

Buzz!

The panel trembled slightly,

as a flood of yellow light surged,

followed by lines of text manifesting:

[1: The real massacre in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss has begun, and ten miles to your southwest, three Loose Cultivators are besieging a lone Rui Family cultivator.]

[2: Elder Zhang and the Qiuo Family will meet at Ant Hill in five days to discuss the grand plan to eliminate you and the Yu Family cultivator.]

[3: Your fourth sister, Fu Changli, discovered three diamond-shaped stone eggs while searching the ruined palace. Though the stone eggs have been sealed for countless years, a faint sense of life can still be detected within.]

[4: Molan will completely finish refining the puppet in half an hour. This puppet's strength will reach Tier Four as she gradually modifies it in the future.]

[5: ....]

....

He exchanged for ten pieces of information in one go.

But found that subsequent information was mostly trivial.

He immediately stopped the exchange.

Moreover,

at this moment,

the stone door of the adjacent cave mansion had opened,

his divine sense swept through,

and realized it was Granny Yu emerging.

Fu Changsheng immediately got up and pushed open the stone door.

Just as Granny Yu was walking toward him:

"Fellow Daoist Yu, let's talk on the ship."

Fu Changsheng released the flying ship, and after both boarding, he activated the defense array.

Granny Yu spoke first:

"Fu Clan Leader, there are less than twenty days until the exit of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss opens. It's probably already chaotic inside. Your tremendous effort to rescue our family of three—is it to team up for the impending crisis?"

At her age,

Granny Yu naturally would not be naive enough to think Fu Changsheng rescued them from the red sea fog out of kindness.

Since Granny Yu was so forthright,

Fu Changsheng didn't hide his intentions, openly admitting:

"Fellow Daoist Yu, that is exactly my intention."

"Oh, then why did Fu Clan Leader choose our Yu Family in particular?"

"Because my grandfather, during his lifetime, often talked to me about his experiences practicing outside in his youth, and he frequently mentioned Fellow Daoist Yu, always speaking highly of you. Naturally, this is secondary."
