"Ding"

"You have slain Elder Zhang, eliminating a major adversary for the Fu Family, earning sixty Clan Contribution Points."

A surge of yellow light.

The contribution points on the panel suddenly changed from twenty-six to eighty-six.

In other words,

He can participate in the prize draw once, and exchange for eighteen pieces of intelligence.

A look of joy appeared on Fu Changsheng's face.

Entering the Ancient Battlefield, after the flying ship entered the ruin palace through a secret passage, the tension in Fu Changsheng's mind finally eased, and at this moment, Granny Yu and others began to wake up one after another.

"Patriarch, you're finally back!"

In the corner of the palace.

The fourth sister, Fu Changli, supported the heavily injured eldest brother Fu Changren, joyously coming over to greet them.

Entering the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss.

She and her eldest brother couldn't help at all, becoming a burden instead, which made Fu Changli feel extremely guilty. During this time, she reflected deeply, understanding that the family couldn't rely solely on the Patriarch, she also needed to grow quickly. Apart from nurturing spirit beasts, she needed to improve her own strength and combat ability.

Fu Changsheng felt gratified seeing the determination in her eyes.

On the other hand, the eldest brother Fu Changren, however, seemed like the flame of life in his eyes was on the verge of extinguishing. Fu Changsheng steadily looked at Fu Changren and said firmly:

"Eldest Brother, the Cultivation Realm is vast, our Fu Family will definitely find a way to repair your dantian. As long as there's life, there's hope. Plus, our Fu Family Academy will soon be welcoming a batch of new students, you'll surely need to teach them, Eldest Brother, you're the backbone of our Fu Family, we cannot afford to lose you."

"Patriarch...."

Fu Changren and Fu Changsheng are not much different in age.

At this fragile moment, hearing these words made him feel both heartbroken and touched, and if it weren't for the presence of others, he would have shed tears.

Molan also came forward to comfort Fu Changren.

Granny Yu, seeing the young members of the Fu Family encouraging each other and united, muttered: "With such cohesion in the Fu Family, how could there not be hope for a resurgence."

Granny Yu and the others meditated outside the hall, restoring their mana.

Fu Changsheng and the others stayed in the ruin palace, with Eldest Brother Fu Changren standing guard outside, allowing Fu Changsheng and the other two to inventory the gains from Ant Hill in a corner of the ruins.

Fu Changli had already heard from Molan about the general events of the battle at Ant Hill, feeling her blood boil, and deeply regretting not being able to participate, gaining even more respect for Fu Changsheng:

"Patriarch, you're amazing!"

Not only did he anticipate the movements of the Zhang and Qiuo Families in advance,

but he also activated the Thousand-legged Ghost Centipede beneath Ant Hill at a critical moment, turning the tide.

The Patriarch was undoubtedly the greatest hero in this battle.

When Fu Changsheng and Fu Molan took out three storage bags, Fu Changli became even more excited:

"Patriarch, quickly count how many soul crystals there are; perhaps we can seize the championship of the Noble Family Grand Competition with this opportunity."

Four storage bags.

Fu Changsheng cast a spell one by one into three of the smaller storage bags, with a flash of dawn light, only to hear the jingling of soul crystals falling to the ground.

A rough count.

There turned out to be more than sixty soul crystals in total.

Additionally,

there were many blood-stained magical artifacts and boxes.

Fu Molan clicked her tongue and said:

"Patriarch, it seems the Zhang and Qiuo Families have killed quite a few cultivators."

The boxes were opened one by one.

Among them, low-grade spiritual materials of Tier One were the most numerous, a small amount of middle-grade Tier One, and only six items of high-grade Tier One. Just these Tier One spiritual objects alone are worth seventeen hundred spirit stones.

Fu Changli's eyes turned into crescents with delight:

"Indeed, 'murdering and arson earn a golden belt'."

Finally,

her gaze fell on the storage bag in Fu Changsheng's hand, which appeared to have a significantly larger storage space:

"Patriarch, is this storage bag Elder Zhang's?"

Fu Changsheng nodded.

Upon hearing this, Fu Changli immediately sat up straight, eagerly saying:

"Patriarch, quickly open it and see."

Fu Changsheng was also looking forward to the contents of Elder Zhang's storage bag.

With a flick of the spell,

The jingling sound happened instantly.

In no time, the soul crystals piled up in front of them like a small mountain.

Fu Changli was so excited her voice trembled:

"This..... this is too much!"

A rough count.

The soul crystals reached more than a hundred.

It would've been impossible for one person to slay so many ghost soldiers in just over two months, even if they were at the peak of Qi cultivation.

It was clear.

More than half were plundered from other cultivators.

And another portion was exchanged with others using spirit stones.

Fu Changli felt overwhelmed at the sight:

"Patriarch, with so many soul crystals, this time the Noble Family Grand Competition is surely ours."

However, Fu Changsheng shook his head.

The Lei Family and the Wu Family are clearly in cahoots, having entered the same area, they will certainly collaborate, with their soul crystals ultimately consolidating into one family's hands.

Moreover, each family entering the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss had Qi Cultivation Ninth-Layer cultivators.

With abundant resources, they will definitely purchase soul crystals from other cultivators in the Abyss.

To win this Noble Family Grand Competition, these soul crystals alone are far from sufficient.

Fu Changsheng looked outside towards the palace.

In Granny Yu's possession are Elder Qiuo's storage bag and a storage bag from a Qiuo family's late-stage Qi cultivator, coupled with the yield from the Yu family in the Abyss.

If they could persuade the Yu family to sell their soul crystals to the Fu Family,

then they would have a fair chance in this Noble Family Grand Competition.

At this point.

The members of the Yu Family were still meditating to restore their mana.

Fu Changsheng retracted his gaze.

In Elder Zhang's storage bag, there were also some high-grade Tier One spiritual objects and materials, though not many. Additionally, two white-based leaf-patterned boxes were heavily sealed with restrictions.

Flashes of past intelligence information passed through Fu Changsheng's mind, his heart skipped a beat:

"Could it be that one of the boxes contains the Tier One Top-Grade Cyan Jade Fruit?"

Back then, Elder Zhang self-detonated a Tier One Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact to acquire this item.

If true.

Consuming it would undoubtedly allow him to break through to the Eighth Layer of Qi cultivation.

Taking a deep breath.

Fu Changsheng cast a spell, unsealing the box, a fragrance of jasmine wafted his way, revealing a spirit fruit resembling a ginseng doll:

"It truly is the Tier One Top-Grade Cyan Jade Fruit!"

Both Fu Changli and Fu Molan almost cried out in surprise seeing the item.

Fu Changli said excitedly:

"Patriarch, this is wonderful, with this Cyan Jade Fruit, you're one step closer to breaking through to the Peak of Qi Cultivation."

The Fu Family urgently needs a high-tier Qi cultivator.

Fu Molan also rejoiced:

"Patriarch, the maximum efficacy of the Cyan Jade Fruit is only absorbed if consumed quickly after picking, there's still a week before we leave the Abyss. We'll guard you outside, please consume the fruit as soon as possible."

The words revealed.

Neither Fu Changli nor Fu Molan showed any sign of greed, after all, Elder Zhang's defeat was due to Fu Changsheng's efforts, and Fu Changsheng was also the greatest hero in the battle at Ant Hill, it was natural for him to enjoy the Cyan Jade Fruit.

Fu Changsheng did not decline politely either.

He nodded slightly:

"Then I'll trouble Molan and Fourth Sister."

After the two left.

Fu Changsheng glanced at the divine staff originally belonging to Elder Zhang, this staff, after sacrificing one's essence blood, could transform into a Tier Two Three-legged Blood Eagle for battle, for the Fu Family, it was undoubtedly a Clan Treasure!

Taking a deep breath.

He carefully sealed the divine staff in a box.

Now was not the time for sacrificial refinement.

Fu Changsheng glanced at the white dragon-patterned box with unopened restrictions, couldn't resist curiosity, and cast a spell, the restriction unsealed, upon clarifying the items within, his breath turned heavy, eyes shining brightly with excitement:

"It's Soul Condensing Incense!"

This is a spiritual object that aids Foundation Establishment.

A coveted item for countless Qi cultivators, this Soul Condensing Incense can increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment by twenty percent.

Heart pounding rapidly, Fu Changsheng instinctively glanced around, licking his dry lips, closing the box with a snap, locking it swiftly with restriction spells, and placing it securely into the storage bag before breathing a sigh of relief.

With this item, his hope for Foundation Establishment greatly increased.

With a flip of the wrist.

A pitch-black box appeared in his hand.

This was a greeting gift from Ouyang Fei, but its contents remain unknown.
