Chapter 184 Arriving at the Destination, Charging Forward
Upon hearing this, the two finally smiled with relief. Xia Yuhui took out a Foundation Establishment Pill in exchange for 20,000 contribution points. Although the number of contribution points was considerable, there was actually nothing in the family treasury that surpassed the Foundation Establishment Pill.
By this calculation, Xia Yuhui was definitely at a loss. Fortunately, Xia Guangyan also contributed a Foundation Establishment Pill, so Xia Yuhui did not suffer too much of a loss.
“I see. How about this, let Uncle Yan suffer a loss. Liang He will only exchange 20,000 contribution points for the Foundation Establishment Pill, while Second Brother and I will exchange 25,000 contribution points.”
“It’s alright…” Xia Yuhui was about to refuse when Xia Yuren, who was standing to the side, interrupted him decisively: “What do you mean it’s alright? There’s no need to say anything more. I feel you’ve been taken advantage of. Let’s just settle this matter. Don’t worry, Fifth Brother, you know our character very well. We will definitely not forget this kindness.”
After hearing this, Xia Yuhui had no choice but to nod helplessly in agreement.
This decision brought a satisfied smile to Xia Yuhua's face.
After the discussion, Xia Liang swiftly grabbed the storage bags of the three dead demonic cultivators, while the Lion-Tiger Eagle had already devoured their corpses. After doing this, the group continued their journey without stopping.
Standing alongside Xia Lianghe on the Lion Rock Roar, Xia Yuhui gazed at the Lion Tiger Eagle soaring freely in the sky, a strange expression on his face.
Upon witnessing this scene, Xia Lianghe immediately explained, "Clan leader, more than ten years ago when I was traveling, I encountered it on a majestic mountain. Seeing its extraordinary bloodline, I tamed it for my own use."
After explaining, he casually waved his hand towards the sky, and the lion, tiger, and eagle in the sky descended with lightning speed, circling around the two of them like shadows.
And it would occasionally stop abruptly, gently stroking Xia Lianghe with its incredibly sharp beak, clearly indicating that the two had an extremely close relationship.
Xia Yuhui shook his head with a wry smile. His spirit beast really couldn't be like that with him. If he released the restriction on the Lion Rock Roar under its feet, it would probably leave Xia Yuhui immediately, without even looking back.
However, he simply didn't have the time to cultivate a good relationship with an animal; to him, it was nothing more than a large tool.
"Hmm, not bad, a demonic beast. As it grows bigger, I feel its bloodline is quite extraordinary," Xia Yuhui said with a smile.
After thinking for a moment, Xia Yuhui took out a box from his storage bag and tossed it to Xia Lianghe.
Xia Lianghe subconsciously took the box, hesitated for a moment, and then opened it. As soon as the box was opened, an astonishing demonic aura emanated from it, startling the lion-tiger eagle flying nearby, which immediately let out a loud scream and then quickly flew over.
However, once it discovered that it was a second-tier demon core, it revealed an expression of extreme longing and immediately began to squeal softly at Xia Liang, but it did not rush to snatch it. Clearly, the bond between the two was exceptionally deep.
The Lion Rock Roar beneath its feet sensed the aura emanating from the demon core, and its body trembled slightly, but that was all.
When it was in the northern frontier, it could hunt down a second-tier demon beast every month, so it was not surprised by this demon core.
However, the Lion-Tiger Eagle is currently only a first-tier demon beast. If it were to consume this pill, it might even be able to break through to the second tier directly, which is why it is so eager for it.
"Clan leader, such a generous gift is too much for me to accept. Please take it back." Upon seeing this treasure, Xia Lianghe handed it to Xia Yuhui without a second thought.
Xia Yuhui reached out to take it, but immediately put it back after touching it. Looking at Xia Lianghe's resolute expression, he chuckled and said, "You kid, you really don't regret it. If I had given this second-tier demon core to other Liang-generation cultivators, they probably would have accepted it without hesitation. But you actually refused."
"The clan leader has been too good to Lianghe. I have lost count of how many times the clan leader has helped me over the years. Now the favors he has shown me are increasing, and I really can't repay them," Xia Lianghe said with a bitter face.
Upon hearing this answer, Xia Yuhui did not show any smile. Instead, he smacked Xia Lianghe on the head.
The moment Xia Yuhui slapped him on the head, the lion-tiger eagle beside him became unhappy and was about to bite him, but Xia Yuhui slapped it away.
"Foolish! This is a family, not a sect. When you get back, copy this sentence ten thousand times, then write a reflection and send it to my cave."
When Xia Lianghe first saw Xia Yuhui with such an angry expression, he immediately lowered his head and said softly, "Lianghe obeys!" He also put the demon core directly into his storage bag.
Meanwhile, the Lion-Tiger Eagle, which had just been slapped, felt dizzy and disoriented. It simply couldn't comprehend how a human cultivator who was about the same size as its master could possess such immense strength.
Upon seeing this, Xia Lianghe immediately put the Lion-Tiger Eagle into his storage bag.
After teaching the man and the beast a lesson, Xia Yuhui didn't turn around to talk to Xia Lianghe this time, because they were about to reach their destination.
At the foot of a sheer cliff, as if carved by a knife and axe, the Xia family members stood like statues, all turning their heads towards the towering mountain that seemed to pierce the clouds. The area was filled with towering mountains and overlapping peaks, and the most majestic and imposing of them all was the mountain standing before them, like a giant.
At their feet lay two gruesome corpses, their heads mangled like exploded watermelons, and electric currents emanated from their bodies like nimble silver snakes—clearly the work of Xia Yuhui.
"According to reliable intelligence, the highest point of this mountain is the hiding place of the Spirit Ghost Daoist. This towering mountain is called Wugui Mountain. There is a second-tier spiritual vein on the mountain for those demonic cultivators to cultivate on. This spiritual vein was obtained by the Spirit Ghost Daoist after he destroyed a Qi Refining family more than 50 years ago."
"Wait a moment, and we will go up the mountain. At that time, I will break the protective array in one fell swoop. Then you will use the Lesser Five Elements Array to surround the area. Remember, no one is allowed to escape."
Upon hearing Xia Yuhui's instructions, the others nodded repeatedly like chickens pecking at rice.
When they arrived, they took out a second-tier minor Five Elements Array from their family treasury. This array was specially prepared for today's use. The power of the minor Five Elements Array can be described as a combination of offense and defense. It can not only trap the cultivators inside like a cage, but also activate the main array to unleash Five Elements spells to attack the enemies inside the array.
The origin of this formation is that Xia Wenpeng transformed and evolved it from the Five Elements Formation, a third-order formation of the Guiyun Sect.
After everyone took out the array plate, and spent two whole hours here like an ox pulling a cart, preparing everything with meticulous care, they then stealthily crept up like ghosts.
On the way up the mountain, Xia Yuhui's divine sense scanned several demonic cultivators like radar. In order to avoid alerting the demonic cultivators on the mountain, Xia Yuhui took matters into his own hands and easily dealt with the demonic cultivators guarding the road.
As for whether the demonic cultivators on the mountain will detect it with their divine sense, there is absolutely no need to worry.
Before going up the mountain, everyone had taken precautions and affixed a talisman to their bodies to prevent divine detection. So they were naturally at ease and had no worries about the spirits on the mountain noticing anything.
