Chapter 1100: Chapter 381: Prince’s Mansion Turmoil, Secrets, Expanding Territory (Part 3)

Taking a closer look.

The streets of Jingzhou City are wide and clean, with shops lining both sides.

Compared to the shops in Wanning Marketplace of the South Huai Prefecture, the buildings here are more ancient, grand, and exquisite, all adorned with upturned eaves and elaborately painted beams.

In the distance, a towering City Lord’s Mansion stands in the city center, its top glistening faintly as if proclaiming the city’s power and majesty to the world.

The streets are bustling with people, crowded and noisy.

The flow of people is vast.

Moreover.

Occasionally, one could spot a Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion rushing by, and sometimes even feel a presence more powerful than that of the Purple Mansion:

"This is truly Jingzhou City!"

Yaoyao marveled to herself.

Compared to the desolation of the Eastern Wilderness, this place seems like an entirely different world.

The three of them walked slowly along the street, with shouts from vendors, conversations of cultivators, and the sound of bells and drums coming from afar reaching their ears.

The trio had not walked far when they heard a familiar voice:

"Yongyi, Uncle Chang Lei, Yaoyao!"

It was Fu Yongshang, who had received a message from Fu Changsheng.

Knowing they were coming, he had been waiting.

He wore a blue long robe, with an exquisite jade belt around his waist, exhibiting a calm and capable demeanor. Although he was only at the Foundation Establishment Peak Cultivation, he was already a prominent figure among the Yong Generation of the Fu Family.

Fu Yongshang walked up to the three, saluted respectfully, and spoke with a hint of closeness, partly cautious.

After all, the three were now of the Purple Mansion.

Fu Yongshang smiled and said: "Yaoyao, was your journey smooth?"

Yaoyao nodded and said: "Very smooth, the Teleportation Array sent us directly to Jingzhou City, saving us a lot of time. Brother Yongshang, Jingzhou is truly grand."

Fu Yongyi also spoke: "Indeed, the Spiritual Qi in Jingzhou City is much more abundant than in our Jingzhou."

Fu Yongshang, hearing this, smiled slightly: "Jingzhou City is, after all, the core of the Jingzhou Prefecture, so the Spiritual Qi is naturally abundant. Come, let me take you to see our Fu Family’s shop, then we’ll discuss other arrangements."

Then, Fu Yongshang led the trio along the street. The shops on both sides of the street were dazzling, with various Spirit Medicines, Magical Artifacts, and talismans, and the street was bustling with people.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Fu Yongshang stopped in front of an imposing building. This building was three stories high, with upturned eaves and painted beams, and four large characters "Fu’s Trading Company" written on the plaque above the door, exuding a dignified aura.

"This is our Fu Family’s shop in Jingzhou City." Fu Yongshang pointed to the plaque, with a hint of pride in his tone.

Yaoyao looked up and saw people coming and going in front of the shop, business seemed to be booming. Inside the shop, a variety of Spirit Medicines, Magical Artifacts, and talismans were displayed, dazzling to the eyes.

Fu Yongshang led the three into the shop, and the shop attendants, upon seeing Fu Yongshang, greeted him respectfully: "Elder Shang!"

Fu Yongshang nodded, leading the three to the second floor. The second floor was specially prepared for VIPs, elegantly arranged. Fu Yongshang invited the three to sit down and instructed the attendants to serve Spirit Tea and snacks.

Yaoyao had not seen her mother for many years.

After sitting down.

She couldn’t help but say:

"Brother Yongshang, I wish to visit the Sang Garden in the outskirts first."

But Fu Yongshang shook his head.

He apologized:

"The Lady of the House is out on some affairs, she is not at the Sang Garden."

"Did she say when she would return?"

"She did not."

Yaoyao felt a bit disappointed hearing this.

Fu Yongshang continued:

"However, before the Lady of the House left, she sent me a message, saying that the Patriarch has decided to select Wuzhou’s new Prefecture Mansion opened by the Court as the fief, and currently Wuzhou still has three newly opened Prefecture Mansions not yet sealed, which are Liuzhou, Guilin, and Huizhou Prefectures. The Lady of the House left a message for you three, suggesting you to check Huizhou Prefecture first, if it’s suitable, you may request the Court for sealing."

Saying so.

Fu Yongshang waved his sleeve.

A scroll slowly unfurled.

It was a part terrain map of Wuzhou:

"The land of Wuzhou was once Sect territory, and after the Court took it, they kept it secret, strictly prohibiting any leakage of information. Although this terrain map is simple, it cost me quite a bit to acquire it."

Fu Changlei furrowed his brows.

Implying.

The matter of the fief would be entrusted to the three of them.

For a moment.

He felt the burden was heavy.

Before this.

He had never personally taken on such a big task.

Meanwhile, Fu Yongyi was eager to start:

"It’s said that the Land of the Far West is rich in resources, with abundant minerals. Since that’s the case, Uncle Chang Lei, Yaoyao, why not seize the day and depart early?"

If they could discover one or two ore veins for the clan.

The Spiritual Objects needed for Jade Lotus and Ziqian to break through the Purple Mansion would be secured.

Additionally.

His eldest son was already in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.

As a father, he must begin preparations.

Thinking so.

Fu Yongyi felt a sense of urgency.

Yaoyao, however, shook her head:

"Once the seal is granted, we must set up the Mountain Protection Array in the fief. I suggest purchasing this array here in Jingzhou City first, otherwise, going back and forth would be too troublesome."

From the map.

The distance between Wuzhou and Jingzhou is even farther than that between Jingzhou and Jingzhou.

Fu Yongshang, hearing this, smiled and said:

"Yaoyao, you don’t need to worry about that."

"Although Wuzhou is newly established, a Teleportation Array has been set up with Jingzhou as well, which at most will require spending some Spirit Stones for transit. You may proceed first, as for the selection of the Mountain Protection Array, leave it to me."

Fu Yongshang is a business genius.

He has been mingling in Jingzhou City for decades.
