Chapter 885: Chapter 333: Schemes Within Schemes, Anomalous Fire Evolution, Spatial Transformation (Ten-Thousand-Word Combined Chapter)
Fu Changsheng excused himself from the banquet and went downstairs, indeed seeing Elder Yun arrive in person.
The Yun Family is an old Seventh-Grade Noble Family that has governed Yunlan Mansion for many years. Elder Yun had already broken through to the Purple Mansion stage a century ago. Before this, their Fu Family had no interaction with them. Moreover, if the other party were to offer congratulations, they should have gone to the Commandery Prince’s Mansion instead.
Suppressing his inner doubts.
Fu Changsheng stepped forward and cupped his hands:
"Clan Leader Yun, apologies for not welcoming you from afar, please come inside."
Other Noble Family descendants from under Yun Family’s rule in Yunlan Mansion also came forward to pay their respects.
After a few rounds of drinks.
Elder Yun quickly transmitted a message to Fu Changsheng:
"Fu Clan Leader, I have something to discuss with you, might we speak in private?"
As expected, there was another purpose.
Fu Changsheng’s heart was moved.
Finding an excuse to leave the table, the two went downstairs, and Elder Yun pointed to the Celestial Secret House on West Street. Celestial Secret House has the effect of shielding Divine Sense; some private transactions in the Marketplace, which are not to be known by others, are conducted there.
He paid some Spirit Stones.
Elder Yun took a Token, opened a room in the Celestial Secret House, and after the stone door closed, Elder Yun finally spoke:
"Fu Clan Leader, I heard you have refined an Anomalous Fire, is this true?"
"Hmm."
Fu Changsheng nodded.
This was no secret; a little inquiry would reveal it.
Hearing this, Elder Yun’s eyes lit up:
"Fu Clan Leader, to be honest, the reason I sought you out is that I want us to form a team to explore an Ancient Cave Mansion."
Fu Changsheng immediately became vigilant.
In the Yun Family, Elder Yun commands numerous responses; there are no fewer than ten Purple Mansion cultivators in the Yun Family, and Elder Yun himself is at Late-Stage Purple Mansion Cultivation. Why would they need more manpower? It was indeed puzzling for them to approach him.
Seeing this, Elder Yun frankly stated:
"Fu Clan Leader, to be honest, we have already opened the Cave Mansion Barrier of this Ancient Cave Mansion with our Yun Family members. However, to enter the inner layer, you need to pass through a Molten Fire Passage, within which is a Heaven and Earth Strange Fire. Even Late-Stage Purple Mansion cannot resist it. Only someone like you, with an Anomalous Fire, can open this passage."
If that were so.
It could also be said to make sense.
Elder Yun spoke frankly:
"Fu Clan Leader, with you currently backed by the Commandery Prince’s Mansion, although our Yun Family is a Seventh-Grade, we wouldn’t dare to plot against your Fu Family even with the utmost audacity."
Even so.
Fu Changsheng still didn’t plan to explore with a stranger.
Just about to refuse.
Elder Yun’s tone changed:
"Fu Clan Leader, the Anomalous Fire in that Ancient Cultivator’s Cave Mansion Molten Fire Passage, if refined, should further enhance the power of the Red Lotus Earth Core Fire within you. Additionally, according to our Yun Family’s internal map, there is also a Field Spirit Tree in the cave mansion, an excellent auxiliary spiritual object for Spirit Beasts to break through Tier Three. At that time, when the cave mansion opens, you may choose one item first, and then we will split six-four. How about that?"
Fu Changsheng did not refuse outright.
After hesitating for a while, he said:
"Clan Leader Yun, how about I give you an answer after my daughter’s return in three days?"
Elder Yun wanted to strike while the iron was hot, fearing the Fu Family would notice any flaw.
However, knowing not to appear too eager, he smiled and said:
"Alright, then I await your good news, Fu Clan Leader."
Elder Yun left the Celestial Secret House, looking back at the waving Fu Changsheng, sneering inwardly. He didn’t believe that after throwing out such a large bait, the other party wouldn’t bite: "Fu Changsheng, I’ll let you shine for two more days."
After all.
Even a death row prisoner is given a hearty last meal, isn’t he?
Fu Changsheng left the Celestial Secret House, not returning to the banquet. He sent a message to Molan to meet at the Sang Garden, then left the Marketplace directly. After waiting a while at Sang Garden, Meizhen and Molan also left the banquet and returned.
Molan saw Fu Changsheng’s solemn expression and asked in surprise:
"Patriarch, did Elder Yun say anything to you?"
They were all family.
Fu Changsheng did not hide anything, saying outright:
"Elder Yun invited me to form a team to explore, saying they found an Ancient Cultivation Cave Mansion, where my Red Lotus Earth Core Fire is needed to assist in entering the core area."
Such a good opportunity!
Fu Molan was somewhat surprised and furrowed her brows:
"Patriarch, do you think something is fishy?"
"I don’t know if it’s fishy or not. Molan, can you find any dossier on the Yun Family from the World Suppression Bureau?"
Fu Molan shook her head.
Her tier is too low.
The Yun Family is Seventh-Grade, she simply doesn’t have that authority.
After hesitating, she said:
"Patriarch, why not ask Lord Cao?"
Cao Xiang’er, backed by the Fifth-Grade Cao Family and having repeatedly made achievements, was promoted to Vice Myriarch in the World Suppression Bureau’s Myriarch Office. Once she breaks through to the Golden Core, she can take up the Myriarch position. Though Cao Xiang’er did not personally attend the Fu Family wedding, she sent a congratulatory gift, the most valuable on the gift list.
Fu Changsheng also had not seen Cao Xiang’er for a long time.
The matters concerning Brother Fuu and Brother Qiang, he should report to Cao Xiang’er as well.
He immediately nodded and said:
"In that case, then I’ll trouble you, Molan, to help make the connection. I’ll inform Elder Yun to give him an answer after Ningning’s return in three days."
"Alright, Patriarch, I’ll return to the Myriarch Office now."
After Molan left.
Only Fu Changsheng remained in the room, focusing on the Sea of Divine Sense panel. Immediately, his thoughts moved:
"Exchange for intelligence."
Buzz!
The panel trembled.
A large amount of yellow light surged.
Right after.
A line of words appeared:
[1: The Ancient Cave Mansion Elder Yun mentioned is in Hidden Spirit Mountain. The Anomalous Fire in the Molten Fire Passage is the Nine Yang Flame, and the fruits on the Field Spirit Tree within the inner layer of the cave mansion are about to mature soon.]
Nine Yang Flame?!
If he remembered correctly, this ranked ninety-ninth on the Anomalous Fire leaderboard. If he could subdue it, and merge it with the Red Lotus Earth Core Fire within him, he would certainly push directly into the top seventy on the leaderboard.
