Rain and wind fell upon the earth, washing over the whole Fu clan.
For a moment, people sensed two things:
Impurities all over their body slowly escaped their body.
And, various thoughts, thoughts of power, fame and fortune, seemed to leave them.
At this moment, their body and mind seemed more aligned to cultivation.
This effect only lasted for a moment, for a moment as long as a sip of tea. It vanished, but its traces were everywhere.
They all looked around, trying understand what had happened.
"Forget about what just happened," a voice sounded right as they were about to move.
At the same time, above the whole clan, dandelions flew around the whole clan—
When they touched upon the bodies of lower cultivators, they directly forgot about what happened, even forgetting the effect, only relishing in the blessing.
Those higher members looked at the dandelions for a moment before pulling several into their body voluntarily. Their ancestor had made this choice, and they also knew that what happened was too mystical. Accepting these would restrict their memories.
Only a few weren’t surrounded by these dandelions: the Three Garden Elders, Vice Hall Masters, and... Huiyue and Muyu, who now saw his ancestor in front of him.
He saw the ancestor hold a large dandelion, its seeds flying all over the clan.
Peilan waited until the dandelion flying seeds flew back to him—this was the Forgetfulness Dandelion, an extremely rare plant used to protect the clan by hiding many secrets. These seeds absorbed the memories of cultivators and when flying back, they would feed back to the dandelion. It wasn’t a harmful extortion as the seed used most of its vitality to make the cultivator recover. After some rest, they would return to normal
Putting away the dandelion, Peilan faced Huiyue and Muyu...
Huiyue, they had been in communication for a long time, and he truly treasured this young clan member who had the potential to spurn on their clan towards new heights.
And now looking at Muyu, he didn’t know what to say.
He opened his mouth and uttered in astonishment, "Was this an Origin Creation?"
"Yes," Huiyue answered while her son was still in a state of confusion.
"This is something most if not all at the first stage fail, it’s a sign of—"
"My son has always been diligent, calm and talented," Huiyue interrupted just as she saw her ancestor say something.
"Haha, your child is indeed wonderful." Peilan nodded, not caring about the interruption. Saying wasn’t very harmful, but a mother was extremely protective, so it’s fine not to say it.
Still, looking at Muyu, he didn’t know what to say.
Could someone truly do such an astonishing act like the Origin Creation at such a low rank?
Had they been ignorant? This talent... even he himself only achieved it at the peak of Qi Refining. Although Huiyue had achieved it at the late stage, she wasn’t the most talented in the clan; it’s said their first ancestor had achieved it in the mid stage, but he had the support of the sect...
Such a genius appeared in their clan now, and he didn’t know what to say or do.
"Ancestor," Muyu finally awoke from his reverie. He looked at the rain and wind in the sky that had disappeared. It had formed the talisman in his hand once more, and he knew it was depleted right now. But if he put in enough energy, he could possibly even transform the whole clan land into a blessed land of cultivation.
Was this the power of those Foundation Building cultivators?!
He realised already: this power was a corner of what Foundation Building cultivators could do. So this meant, in essence, every Foundation Building cultivator had the means to transform a place so vastly?!
Seeing his confusion, Peilan smiled, "This power, although extremely woundrous, is actually difficult to use. Just now heaven and earth helped you, but if you wanted to use it again and achieve the same, you’d have to reach the peak of Qi Refining and sacrifice all your cultivation.
Even we Foundation Building cultivators can’t use this power for a long time, so we instead lower its effect.
Haha, aren’t the plants in our clan growing exceptionally well? The Green Glow Lake amounts for the most, but my own power, and the power of the Garden Elders and Vice Hall Masters all attribute together to an improvement of planting results of 10%."
"Sacrifice all my cultivation?" Muyu was shocked. So this effect was this difficult? Wait. No. Why would it be so difficult?
He looked at his talisman, then at the ancestor, and sensed something wrong. They, creation artists, didn’t need to use their own power.
"Hahaha, A’yue, your son is a real genius!" Peilan chuckled and shook his head.
"Regardless, it’s better not to use this ability on this level again. Next time, discuss it at the Inner Clan Members’ Meeting."
"Ancestor, am I one now?" Muyu asked, shocked once more.
He faced repeated shocks today—first the mystical power, second his ancestor which he had only seen at gatherings, and third the matter of the inner members appearing once more!
"With your talent, not inviting you would be too reckless of my clan. But for this reason, from now on, all major events concerning your future will have to be discussed together in the meeting. Making your own choices isn’t easy any longer."
Peilan became serious as he said so. Such a genius could become a pillar of the clan, no less than himself or Huiyue. Their future and path was theirs to choose, but they couldn’t recklessly charge forward, they had to tell others so others could prepare.
"Ancestor," an elderly voice called out.
The three turned to see Chunfeng, who had rushed back to the courtyard.
He only looked at the talisman in Muyu’s hand before smiling brightly. Facing the ancestor, he cupped his hands before continuing, "The arrangements planned before were already superb—among all places, our clan doesn’t specialse in talismans, so staying here doesn’t offer much benefits. Even the Sect, ignoring its turbulence, is at the end a Weather Master Sect, focusing on controlling the weather, specifically the sun’s glow.
Only large markets that have become a gathering of guilds can allow all kinds of talents to emerge. I suggest we continue with the arrangements and send Muyu to become the market elder of our Fu Clan shop!"
