Alas.

He hadn't finished his sentence.

The Ping Clan Leader, in a fit of rage, spat out another mouthful of blood. Pointing with a trembling finger at Ping Xinghai, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Xinghai, for such critical information, why didn't you report it half a year ago!!!"

A Profound Iron Ore Vein.

If it's medium-sized, it's worth at least a hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

The Fu Family only has one Foundation Establishment cultivator, but our Ping Family has three. No matter what, we could have seized that ore vein. With that ore vein, we'd definitely abandon the attack on the Cloud Soaring Tribe; why take such a risk?

If only Ping Xinghai had informed us of this crucial intelligence.

Our Ping Family wouldn't have suffered one death and one severe injury:

"Xinghai, you truly messed up a great affair!!"

At this moment.

The Fu Family has already set up camp and started mining.

As an Eighth-Grade Noble Family, if the Hongg Family dares to take by force, the World Suppression Bureau would act first.

Xinghai, that child, usually only knows how to cultivate.

He doesn't even have this basic common sense.

And he thinks of claiming credit!

Truly infuriating!

The Ping Clan Leader became even more resolute in his decision to close the mountain gate, and coldly said:

"From this moment, even you, Xinghai, without my orders, cannot enter or leave the mountain gate. Anyone wanting to leave must wait for me to exit seclusion!"

A final decision!

Ping Xinghai still wanted to say something.

But the Ping Clan Leader already gestured for him to step back.

Ping Xinghai came out from the back mountain, frowning:

"The Yu Family had promised to send Yu Qingru over in a month. Closing the mountain gate now ruins my plans!"

He had met Yu Qingru before.

In the South Huai Prefecture, she is counted among the top beauties.

Ping Xinghai felt unwilling, but still, while the barrier was not yet fully activated, he quickly took out a token and sent a message to the Yu Family Patriarch:

"Postpone the marriage between me and Miss Qingru!"

...

Secret Chamber of the Supreme Profound Peak.

Fu Changsheng opened the box inscribed with runes on a white background, only to find a pill bottle inside:

"It's not a talisman after all."

This was unexpected.

After undoing the restriction on the pill bottle.

A jasmine scent of medicine wafted through the air.

Looking closely.

Inside the pill bottle were five Tier Two Middle-Grade Yuan Condensing Pills:

"These are pills that increase cultivation!"

Fu Changsheng was delighted.

The Yuan Condensing Pill was just right for him at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, and with five in total, if he refined them all, he should be able to smoothly break through to the Fifth-Layer Foundation Establishment.

He then scanned Ping Xinghai's storage bag with his Divine Sense.

As an Early-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, he found nothing else of value to him, deciding to store the rest that was of no use into the clan's treasury.

Just as this thought concluded.

A familiar mechanical voice sounded in his mind:

"Ding"

"You have contributed a certain amount of spiritual materials to the clan, earning three hundred and twenty Contribution Points."

Immediately after.

The clan's contribution points on the panel rose from one thousand one hundred and ninety to one thousand five hundred and ten.

Seeing the surge in contribution points on the panel, Fu Changsheng was elated, resisting the urge to engage in Double Lottery. Although the war among the three clans against the Cloud Soaring Tribe seemed to reach its end.

He still wasn't aware of the specific circumstances.

So he decided to first exchange for intelligence to see.

Thus, with a thought.

He directly said:

"Exchange for intelligence."

Buzz!

The panel trembled.

A flood of yellow light surged, followed by lines of text appearing:

[1: The Ping, Cao, and Hee families attacked the Cloud Soaring Tribe. In the Five Beasts Seven Stars Array, three of the four Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Hee and Cao families were slain by the combined Third-Tier Heaven-devouring Beast of the array. Only the Cao Clan Leader escaped, but he was heavily injured, and his cultivation fell to Qi Cultivation. The Hee Clan Leader was ambushed by Muraaki Sayo and Nagano Kei of the Niuteng Tribe using the Ice Hurricane Array. Although he managed to escape, he was severely injured and unable to engage in Dharma Combat for twenty years. After returning to the Clan Mountain, the Ping Clan Leader closed the mountain gates with plans for the entire clan to retreat into seclusion.]

[2: After Yu Qingru exited seclusion, she was informed that she was to marry Ping Xinghai. With the Ping Family's upheaval, the marriage was postponed. Granny Yu has passed away as of last month. Upon learning that the Ping Family closed the mountain, Yu Qingru decided she would no longer be a pawn and began to engage with members of her lineage, intending to rebel and establish a separate faction.]

[3: In an underground cave at Duo Lake Mountain within the Ten Thousand Mountains, an Ancient Cultivator's Cave Mansion is hidden. This Cave Mansion contains a Fourth-Transformation Cyan Lotus, and the soil nurturing this lotus is Earth Divine Soil.]

[4: Within your domain, a secret realm used for the training of disciples from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect is buried in an incomplete state, located just to the east of your domain.]

[5: Anyang County's Seven Miles Mountain Demon Cave will erupt again within ten years, and the scale of this eruption will surpass the previous one.]

[6: The Southern Barbarians intended to congregate for an assault on Anyang County. Upon Shangguan Feng obtaining this intelligence, ten thousand Wild Beasts from the Ten Thousand Mountains were lured into the tribal territories aiming to attack Anyang County, causing significant losses to the major tribes, leading them to abandon the attack.]

[7: In a cave halfway up Tailing Mountain of the Taiqiu Mountain Range within your domain, a Tier One Top-Grade Spirit Spring Soil is hidden. This Spirit Spring Soil possesses the wondrous effect of restoring Spirit Fields.]

.....

A total of ten pieces of intelligence were exchanged.

Compared to the last time.

The intelligence obtained this time proved to be immensely useful.

Fu Changsheng read through each one.

When his gaze fell on the third piece of intelligence, his eyes lit up:

"An Ancient Cultivator's Cave Mansion containing a Fourth-Transformation Cyan Lotus!"

The two drops of Life Source Water in his possession could completely mature the Third-Transformation Cyan Lotus in the Luofeng Mountain clan territory, meaning he could begin refining his Lifebound Spiritual Artifact.

And if the Lifebound Spiritual Artifact was further refined with the Fourth-Transformation Cyan Lotus.

Its tier could escalate directly to a Tier Three Spiritual Artifact!

The might of a Spiritual Artifact, as evident from the power of the Primordial Alms Bowl in his hand, though only of Tier Three Low-Grade, is unmatched to any Foundation Establishment cultivator.
