CHAPTER 28: RECOVERY WINE, THE OPPORTUNITY TO ANNIHILATE THE LI FAMILY HAS ARRIVED

Once the Red Marrow Rice matured, he had the Spirit Rice handed over to the other side for brewing, with Third Brother Fu Changli remaining in the back mountain for over a year, never stepping out of Wineterra.

Eldest Brother Fu Changren was also filled with anticipation, yet still somewhat worried:

"Patriarch, Third Brother has not come out from the back mountain for a while, we dare not disturb him. Perhaps, Patriarch, you could take a look at the back mountain?"

After all.

That’s tens of thousands of jin of Red Marrow Rice.

Eldest Brother Fu Changren painstakingly grew it, feeling more anxious than anyone else, fearing the Spirit Rice would be spoiled.

Fu Changsheng nodded:

"Alright, I’ll head to the back mountain for a look."

Eldest Brother Fu Changren was very curious, following closely behind.

On the way, he reported the family’s recent situation. Liu Runzhi would recover in several days and could exit seclusion, while Molan, due to her exceptional talisman-making talent, successfully made an Earth Escape Talisman, becoming a Tier One High-Grade Talisman Maker. Notably, Molan did not train at the Spiritual Spring Well but made significant progress over the past half-year, and the Fourth Sister was guarding the Yani Gang Stone Ore Vein on Leimeng Mountain:

"Patriarch, Fourth Sister wrote saying the Yani Gang Stone will be fully mined in ten days."

Speaking of which.

The two arrived at the back mountain cellar.

At this moment.

Wild laughter erupted from within the cellar:

"Haha, Tier One Low-Grade Recovery Wine, I’ve finally succeeded in brewing it!"

Upon hearing.

Fu Changsheng’s eyes lit up.

Following him, Eldest Brother Fu Changren let out a long breath.

He hurried to the cellar.

The rich aroma of wine wafted in, and upon lightly smelling it, True Qi within his body instantly started circulating:

"Good wine!"

As Fu Changsheng descended the stone steps.

Third Brother Fu Changli, disheveled and covered, excitedly handed the wine ladle over to Fu Changsheng: "Patriarch, Changli did not disappoint, successfully brewing Tier One Low-Grade Recovery Wine. Please taste it, Patriarch."

"Good, good, good!"

Fu Changsheng, equally delighted, took the ladle and tasted it, discovering the Spiritual Wine contained the aroma of Red Marrow Rice, was mellow in flavor, not overly strong, and as it settled in the stomach, immediately felt a warm sensation and with a slight operation of the cultivation technique, it could be refined into True Qi:

"Third Brother, you’ve worked hard this year!"

Fu Changsheng handed the ladle to Eldest Brother, patting Third Brother on the shoulder.

This year, busy with brewing, Third Brother had lost all his weight.

Fu Changli was full of excitement:

"Patriarch, I just had a realization, if the formula could be improved further and brewed with Tier One Middle-Grade Spirit Rice, perhaps it might produce Tier One Middle-Grade Spirit Wine. I must improve the formula while the inspiration lasts."

"Alright, then we won’t disturb you."

Looking at the cellar filled with Spiritual Wine, Fu Changsheng’s mind was rapidly considering how to monetize it.

If so much Spiritual Wine is to be sold at a market stall, it’s clearly unsuitable, and it seems Third Brother will surely brew more formulae of Spiritual Wine in the future. If that’s the case, it’s better to establish a brand for Fu Family Spiritual Wine right from the start, so he’ll have to think carefully about the sales strategy.

Obtained a batch of talisman paper from Eldest Brother.

Entering the secret chamber to sit down.

He glanced at the values on the panel, not having exchanged intelligence for half a year, and having stayed in the mountain for half a year, he could only learn about outside affairs from spies.

After contemplating.

He immediately said:

"Exchange Intelligence"

Buzz!

A large amount of yellow light surged on the intelligence panel.

Then lines of text appeared:

[1: Your Third Brother will develop a Tier One Middle-Grade Spirit Wine formula in six months, but due to not having Tier One Middle-Grade Spirit Rice in the family, this formula will be shelved for several years.]

[2: Your Spirit Pet Little Cyan Snake is at Tier One Middle Stage Peak, after devouring a few more cultivator corpses, it will break through to Tier One Late Stage, then awaken a Bloodline Demon Skill.]

[3: Shangguan Hongyu successfully broke through to Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer last month. Shangguan Family intends to have Shangguan Hongyu marry the Young Clan Leader of the Eighth-Grade Noble Family Nangong Family from South Huai Prefecture, which Shangguan Hongyu firmly rejected, telling her elders she already has someone she admires.]

[4: In the Li Family’s Moon Lake, due to a flood, several Tier One Bailing Fish have washed in.]

[5:....]

....

[7: In two days, Elder Li will meet again with the Southern Barbarian Celestial Dragon Tribe’s elder in a mountain cave north of Kuili Mountain to finalize a strategy to attack your clan grounds. In ten days, your Luofeng Mountain’s Mountain Protection Array will be opened by the Array-Breaking Pearl provided by Elder Li, leading to a massacre of your Fu Family by the Southern Barbarians, leaving no trace of Fu Family on Luofeng Mountain.]

What?!

When Fu Changsheng saw this last piece of intelligence, his body trembled.

The last time the Clan Mountain was breached, it indeed was the Li Family causing trouble, as this was within his expectations, and having dealt with the Li Family multiple times was largely to force the Li Family to reveal their true colors.

Originally, he thought of using the Silver-Spotted Poison Snake to severely damage the Li Family once more.

Letting the other side continue to suffer setbacks.

So they would resort to desperate measures.

Unexpectedly.

The other side could not hold its temper, and it hasn’t been that long since they once again allied with the Southern Barbarians.

Fu Changsheng sneered sarcastically:

"I just feared you wouldn’t make a move!"

From the moment the Clan Mountain was broken, the opportunity he spoke of to eradicate the Li Family’s fortuitous timing and geographic advantage was precisely this!

In Great Zhou.

Cahoots with the Southern Barbarians.

No matter the tier of the Noble Family, once caught, it’s an extermination penalty for nine generations!

Fu Changsheng took out a Communication Jade Talisman inscribed with the Shangguan Family’s emblem from his storage bag, his lips moved, quickly speaking a few words.

After a moment.

Shangguan Hongyu’s voice came through:

"Fellow Daoist Fu, this matter is of great importance, are you certain your intelligence is accurate?"

"Fellow Daoist Shangguan, I dare guarantee it with my head!"

"Alright, hold your troops, and wait for my news."

The Spirit Light of the Communication Jade Talisman faded.

Fu Changsheng took a deep breath, looking towards the Li Family’s direction, feeling some excitement and agitation, and after quite a while, finally calmed down completely.

He picked up the talisman brush and continued to make Earth Escape Talismans.

Early the next morning.

A burst of urgent buzzing immediately came from his waist.

And it was Shangguan Hongyu’s voice that came through:

"You should come to Leimeng Mountain."

So fast?!

If such.

Surely it’s a Foundation Establishment Cultivator resorting to Sword Flight to cover half a day’s distance from Anyang County to their Nanyang County, Fu Changsheng immediately packed the talisman into the storage bag, and as he left, carefully instructed a few words to Eldest Brother Fu Changren, immediately donned the Invisibility Cloak and left Luofeng Mountain.

To conceal his whereabouts.

So he didn’t take the boat, but detoured a path up the mountain.

After all.

At this moment, the Li Family must certainly have someone watching their clan grounds.

After ascending the mountain.

He just stood still when a girl’s fragrant scent wafted over.

Fu Changsheng looked closely, but saw that somehow, Shangguan Feng, carrying Shangguan Hongyu with sword flight, lingered above his head, and additionally, Shangguan Chen was also standing with sword control.

From the last meeting with Shangguan Chen, it has been over two years, and he had broken through from Peak of Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment Stage.
