Chapter 443 - 224: Joyous Events Abound, Parental Hearts, Transaction_3

A stomach full of words prepared.

Yet at this moment, they couldn’t be spoken.

Seeing this, Fairy Lady Cai quickly pulled the other down to sit and said gently:

"Good child, don’t be afraid, mother’s here for everything. Speak well, what happened?"

Jade Lotus turned away, wiped her eyes, bit her lip, and whispered:

"Mother, you... how many clan contribution points do you have? My husband and I discussed it, and we’re trying to gather some to see if we can exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill."

"So it’s about this matter, you child, you scared mother to death!"

Exchanging a Foundation Establishment Pill is a good thing.

She thought the Lady of the House was going to add someone to Brother Fan’s quarters again.

Fairy Lady Cai instinctively glanced around, then patted her storage bag. A flash of dawn light, and an identity token appeared in her hand:

"Over the years, I’ve been saving for you, even your Uncle Gan’s share has been consolidated."

As she spoke,

A technique was applied to the identity token.

A flash of dawn light.

The backside revealed a string of refined numbers.

Jade Lotus glanced at it.

Exclaimed:

"Three thousand three hundred and thirty-six contribution points, Mother, you... you’ve saved so much!"

Fairy Lady Cai retracted the technique.

Quickly stored the token back in the storage bag.

With some pride, she said:

"Think about it, my dear, I’ve been in the Fu Family for over thirty years. With mine and your late father’s, it’s more than enough to gather five thousand contribution points. Then, let the Fu Family cover half, and that Foundation Establishment Pill can be exchanged."

Fairy Lady Cai always keeps the count in her heart.

Speaking of father,

Jade Lotus hesitated:

"Father has many children, I’m afraid..."

"Those cats and dogs can’t compare to you. Rest assured, with your father, I’ve long made arrangements before you were married. The contribution points in his hands are certainly kept, though he’s gentle in nature. If the Chen Family can produce a Foundation Establishment, he’d care more than us."

Jade Lotus was moved:

"Mother, please tell Uncle Gan, after my Foundation Establishment, if my brother needs help, I’ll never hesitate."

"You girl, making vows with your mother. You came from mother’s belly; how can I not know your nature? But it’s enough that you have this intention, mother can still live another thirty or forty years. When it’s time for me to go, I’ll have saved enough contribution points for your brother. Since you’re married, focus on your family, don’t worry about mother."

"Mother..."

These words made Jade Lotus’ nose tingle.

After returning from Water Curtain Cave, Brother Fan had already communicated with Fu Changren. The couple exchanged a glance, and Brother Fan said with a smile:

"Jade Lotus, elder uncle agreed to transfer all the five thousand contribution points he’s saved to your name."

Thus,

The ten thousand clan contribution points were gathered.

Once the transfer was completed, Brother Fan wasted no time and took Jade Lotus directly to find Liuu Meizhen. When Jade Lotus activated the ten thousand clan contribution points on her identity token,

Liuu Meizhen showed no trace of surprise.

Instead, as if anticipated, she patted her storage bag, a flash of dawn light, and a pill bottle floated towards Jade Lotus:

"Yaoyao just established her Foundation, Jade Lotus, before you go into seclusion, remember to exchange insights with Yaoyao."

While speaking,

Liuu Meizhen’s communication jade talisman suddenly emitted an urgent buzzing sound.

Brother Fan and Jade Lotus took the cue and withdrew.

Liuu Meizhen applied a technique.

It turned out clan members from the mountain reported that the Cui Family Patriarch requested to see her.

Half a cup of tea later.

In the reception hall.

Liuu Meizhen sat at the principal seat.

Cui Clan Leader was led by Brother Fan into the reception hall.

From the mountain gate to the reception hall on the hill, Cui Clan Leader discovered the Fu Family had obscured Demon-Defying City with an array blocking divine sense surveillance, allowing only an outline view from outside.

The host and guest were seated.

Cui Clan Leader tasted a sip of Five-pointed Tea. It was his first dealing with Liuu Meizhen, but the incident in Wanning Marketplace where Liuu Meizhen had tricked Liang Zhitang out of hundreds of thousands of spirit stones was vivid in his memory, so he dared not slacken and intended not to mince words, sincerely:

"Madam Fu"

"Cui indeed came with the intent of exchanging a blueprint for your Fu Family’s Demon-Defying City and your new city construction technology. I wonder if Madam Fu is inclined to sell?"

Liuu Meizhen feigned surprise, raised her eyebrows.

Shook her head:

"Cui Clan Leader, the city blueprint involves our Demon-Defying City’s core secrets. I’m afraid you’ll have come in vain."

This blueprint could resist a Golden Core Master’s power.

How could it be traded?

Cui Clan Leader smiled:

"Madam Fu, I naturally understand this. I don’t need the specific talisman array from the blueprint, just a rough construction of the city, and the experience in city building."

"Cui Clan Leader, this is not something I alone can decide."

Liuu Meizhen looked troubled.

Indeed, nothing without exchange.

Cui Clan Leader knew they were both shrewd, so he didn’t beat around the bush and offered candidly:

"Madam Fu, I heard your central Star-Receiving Tower hasn’t been constructed due to a shortage of Star Stones. What if I can solve this urgent need for you?"

Liuu Meizhen put down her tea cup.

Smiled:

"Construction to resist beast tide is, after all, a cause for all humanity to advance together. If we can assist Brother Cui, our Fu Family is naturally willing to offer our utmost help."

Switching tone,

Liuu Meizhen said:

"I wonder how many Star Stones Brother Cui holds?"

Cui Clan Leader showed three with his right hand.

Liuu Meizhen’s eyes slightly narrowed, lifted the tea cup once more, sipped, and calmly said:

"If there are three more, we could accelerate our progress, finish within half a year, and the entire construction team could be loaned to Brother Cui."

Upon hearing those words,

Cui Clan Leader’s brow twitched, for the first time formally assessing Liuu Meizhen.

How did she accurately guess he had six Star Stones?

At the time when obtaining the Star Stones in the Canglan Secret Realm, only he and Elder Clan Leader Hongg knew, Elder Clan Leader Hongg couldn’t have divulged, so was Liuu Meizhen coincidentally nearby?!

Cui Clan Leader felt a chill upon deeper thought.

The Fu Family’s confidence in building Demon-Defying City clearly anticipated he would personally deliver the Star Stones!
