Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 659 - 281: Wild Beast, South Sea Dragon Palace, Undying Ones

"Fourth Elder, may I go in and take a look?"

Niu Chunxiu asked humbly.

Fu Changli looked at Fu Changsheng, who nodded.

The three entered North Mountain.

Inside, different houses had been constructed, each providing a suitable hatching environment according to the traits of various spirit beasts.

Niu Chunxiu walked around.

She glanced at a stone egg placed in a bamboo basket nearby and picked one up on a whim.

Fu Changli was taken aback for a moment.

These two stone eggs were originally obtained by her in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, given to the three siblings of Yaoyao, and in the end, only Brother Rong managed to hatch one.

Decades had passed.

Brother Fan and Yaoyao saw no response from these stone eggs, so they handed them over to the Spirit Beast Valley for specialized incubation, hoping they could cultivate them.

Yet, despite everyone’s efforts,

the stone eggs remained motionless.

Additionally, the trace of vitality originally present in the stone eggs seemed undetectable this year.

Fu Changli shook her head and said:

"These stone eggs have already lost their vitality. Chunxiu, if you really want a spirit beast egg, you might want to choose from the batch in the west room earlier; those eggs have the most vitality, with the highest probability of hatching."

However.

Niu Chunxiu had a vague feeling that

if she missed this egg today, she would surely regret it later, so she insisted:

"Fourth Elder, Patriarch, I feel a connection with this stone egg, may I keep it?"

Fu Changli looked at Fu Changsheng,

speaking softly:

"Patriarch, this stone egg was originally meant for Brother Fan. If Chunxiu insists, she should inform him."

Although Brother Fan had already given up.

Fu Changsheng nodded:

"I’ll talk to Brother Fan about it. Chunxiu, bring the stone egg and come with me."

"Yes, Patriarch."

Niu Chunxiu’s eyes lit up, quickly embracing the stone egg and promptly thanked Fu Changli with a gesture of respect.

Fu Changli watched the backs of Fu Changsheng and Niu Chunxiu as they left,

mumbling softly.

...

Niu Chunxiu followed Fu Changsheng to the Patriarch’s Mansion and even entered Fu Changsheng’s Secluded Meditation Chamber. Alone with a man, Niu Chunxiu’s heart started racing, her face slightly flushed, feeling a bit at a loss.

Suddenly, Fu Changsheng patted his storage bag,

a flash of dawn light,

and several array flags appeared.

With a flick of successive techniques,

with a hum,

a simple Spirit Beast Contract Array was formed:

"Chunxiu, try to sign a contract with this stone egg now."

"Thank you, Patriarch."

After responding, Niu Chunxiu followed Fu Changsheng’s guidance, letting a drop of blood from her forehead fall into the array.

Hum!

The array transmitted the sacrificial blood into the stone egg.

Fu Changsheng watched intently,

remembering how last time the spirit beast Brother Rong hatched devoured all the spirit beasts in the tribe, so he was extremely cautious this time.

There was also anticipation.

Curious whether Chunxiu could hatch this spirit beast.

Hum!!

The array quivered slightly.

The falling blood seemed about to slip off the stone egg; if it did, it would indicate the stone egg had become a dead egg, unable to bond.

Each passing second was extremely agonizing.

Drip!

The blood slid off the stone egg:

"Was the contract unsuccessful?"

Fu Changsheng felt a bit disappointed.

But the next moment,

the bloodstain that had been on the stone egg suddenly vanished.

Then,

a faint thumping heartbeat sound emerged, unmistakably coming from within the stone egg:

"There’s hope!!"

Fu Changsheng’s eyes lit up.

At the same time,

the stone egg quivered.

The blood that had fallen to the ground flowed upward, being completely absorbed by the stone egg.

Thump, thump!

The heartbeat grew significantly louder.

"Patriarch!"

Concurrently,

Niu Chunxiu groaned.

Her mana was continuously being devoured by the stone egg, and in an instant, her dantian was utterly emptied of mana.

Yet, the stone egg’s devouring didn’t stop.

Instead, the devouring power grew stronger, unconsciously beginning to consume Chunxiu’s essence blood.

"Chunxiu, let me help you."

Fu Changsheng shifted, sitting behind Niu Chunxiu with both hands pressed against her back, channeling mana continuously into her body.

However,

it was still far from enough.

Fu Changsheng’s pupils shrank.

With a thought,

he summoned Autumn Cicada from the Human Emperor Banner:

"Autumn Cicada, transfer your mana into Chunxiu’s body."

Both practiced the "Jade Cicada Skill," their Yin attribute mana naturally compatible and integrative.

Hum!

At the same time,

the stone egg’s devouring power intensified, forming a small mana vortex above it that continuously poured mana into its core.

Seeing this situation,

Fu Changsheng feared even draining all three of them might not suffice:

"Autumn Cicada, release the ghost soldiers from the Human Emperor Banner as well."

"Yes, Master."

Freeing one hand, Autumn Cicada executed a technique on the Human Emperor Banner, instantly releasing ten ghost soldiers, who sat cross-legged and transferred mana into Autumn Cicada.

Meanwhile,

Fu Changsheng patted the storage bag,

a flash of dawn light,

spirit stones fell, forming a Spirit Gathering Array, continuously channeling spiritual power into the stone egg.

This persisted for about half an hour.

When Fu Changsheng and others exhausted their mana,

finally, the stone egg ceased to devour mana, and with a hum, it trembled gently, and then the shell started cracking.

Nine heavens above,

Hum!

An enigmatic energy descended towards Jingzhou

....

Back Mountain Water Curtain Cave.

While studying arrays, Grandmaster Yu’s eyelid twitched, suddenly looking up at the void:

"What is this commotion?"

A Treasure Beast appearing?!

Yet even so, it shouldn’t cause such a disturbance:
