Chapter 133 Xia Yuhui's Strength
"Thank you so much for saving me, Uncle!" Once her anger subsided, Xia Yuhua quickly stepped forward to express her gratitude.
"Did Akagi Akagawa leave behind?"
"Alas, it's all because of those three old beasts, otherwise Akagi Akikawa would surely have died at my hands."
"You don't need to worry too much about it; perhaps this is a good thing. If Akagi Akira dies, the Akagi family will definitely report your foundation-building to Guiyun Sect."
“Now that Akagi Minghe is still alive, it is naturally impossible for him to inform Guiyun Sect about your breakthroughs.” Xia Guangyao’s expression was solemn as he explained the pros and cons one by one.
After Xia Guangyao finished speaking, Xia Yuhua nodded in agreement, but she still knew in her heart that killing Akagi Akira was the best course of action. However, since things had come to this point, blaming herself was useless.
"Let's go back. It seems the Akagi family is incredibly fortunate, with four Foundation Establishment cultivators appearing at the same time. The struggle with them will probably continue for another fifty years or so," Xia Guangyao sighed.
"It's alright, Third Uncle. Since we can't attack the Akagi family, what about the Cai family? From today onwards, we can send our clansmen to disguise themselves as demonic cultivators and hunt them down." Xia Yuhua's face was gloomy, and she gave a cold smile.
……
Three years later.
Outside the Qingshui Ward, a large caravan was slowly entering the ward.
A group of monks dressed in plain clothes were gathered in the caravan, looking around as if they were visiting for the first time.
“Eighth Uncle, there are many powerful cultivators here. I can see five or six late-stage Qi Refining cultivators with just a casual glance,” Xia Liangmu said to Xia Yufeng beside him.
Xia Yufeng, who had already advanced to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, remained calm and said, "This place is the main battlefield, and there must be many people with profound cultivation. Moreover, it seems that the monsters in the Northern Frontier will break out into a beast tide again in the next few months. We need to get rid of the goods we have in hand as soon as possible in the next few days to avoid being drawn into this war."
"Even if we earn a little less, it won't be a big deal."
"But if we do that, we're afraid we'll suffer heavy losses this time."
"This damned beast tide, the timing couldn't be worse."
Xia Liangshou and Xia Liangshi, who were tending to the goods, were immediately outraged upon hearing this. They had already encountered several waves of monsters on their journey and had hoped to earn more to make up for their losses, but reality turned out to be so cruel.
"You two, can't you learn from Liang Chou and be more composed? When will you ever mature?" Xia Yufeng immediately reprimanded the two of them.
The tasks entrusted to him by his family, besides transporting goods, also included training these cultivators of the Liang generation. Therefore, he never hesitated to reprimand them when necessary, and even reprimanded Xia Liangshi along the way.
Xia Liangchou, who was taking inventory of the goods, felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Xia Yufeng praising him. His personality was similar to Xia Yufeng's when he was young; he was usually quiet and reserved. Now, receiving such praise made him feel embarrassed.
Xia Liangshou and Xia Liangshi, who were scolded, could only smile awkwardly and retreat. However, they were already used to this. After being scolded, they soon got together again, chatting and laughing.
Seeing this, Xia Yufeng could only sigh helplessly. Every generation of cultivators would always have one or two bad apples, and it would be futile to talk to them.
Among the Yu generation, Xia Yuzong and Xia Yufei were the same when they were young. However, the two have now completely reformed and gotten back on track. Xia Yuzong has already broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining, and Xia Yufei is not far behind.
"Hurry up, quickly check the goods, we need to enter the market."
After entering the market, the Xia family cultivators quickly traded their goods. Due to the time constraints, some goods that could have earned more were sold at low prices.
Of course, overall there is still a profit, but this time, because 40% of the profits need to be handed over to the Su family, the profit is slightly less than in the past, but overall it is still acceptable. This time, the income has reached the Xia family's usual total income for two years.
Five days later, inside Xia Yuhui's cave, Xia Yuhui had already set out teacups on the table, along with five or six pots of fragrant spiritual tea.
After the matter was over, Xia Yuhui sat in the main seat and waited quietly. Soon after, Xia Guangyan entered from outside.
"Yu Hui".
"Seventh Uncle, the mission is complete."
"It's finally done. This time it was quite difficult, and another member of the team has died. Moreover, the person who died last time has not yet been replaced. I'm afraid our team will face even greater dangers next time we carry out a mission." After saying this, Xia Guangyan glanced at Xia Yuhui with a hint of envy.
He really couldn't understand how Xia Yuhui cultivated. In just over ten years, Xia Yuhui had successfully broken through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, while he was still hovering at the second level of Foundation Establishment. The difference between the two was not small at all.
With Xia Yuhui's current strength, even when carrying out missions, there is not much danger, while I am always terrified every time I go out.
After sitting down, Xia Guangyan drank three cups of tea in one go before taking out a storage bag from his sleeve.
"Here you go. I've finally gathered all the materials. I'll have to trouble you this time. I don't have any decent reward to offer you," Xia Guangyan said, feeling slightly embarrassed.
These are materials that I have stored for three years. There are three portions, enough to forge one magical artifact.
"Seventh Uncle, there's no need for that. We're all family. If you need to refine weapons in the future, just come to me, and I'll do my best to help."
Xia Yuhui sighed inwardly. This seventh uncle was good in every way, but there was one thing: he had never fully integrated himself into the Xia family and always had some distance from the family. No matter how he tried to mediate over the years, it was to no avail.
"Why haven't Yu Feng and the others arrived yet? Didn't they say they would finish in five days?" Xia Guangyan asked thoughtfully after Xia Yuhui took the storage bag, feeling relieved.
"They must have gone to look for the Su family, but they should be here soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Yuhui nodded slightly, "We've arrived."
Xia Guangyan was taken aback. He used his divine sense to investigate carefully, but to no avail. There were restrictions everywhere in the market, making it difficult to use his divine sense. He was very curious as to how Xia Yuhui knew.
Seeing Xia Guangyan's questioning gaze, Xia Yuhui merely smiled slightly and said nothing more.
These past few years have been of great help to him. He has to carry out a mission every month, and each time he carries out a mission, he will kill at least a thousand monsters, not including those killed by his teammates.
The sheer number of souls greatly enhanced his consciousness. Although Xia Yuhui had never seen a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator fully unleash their divine sense, he firmly believed that his divine sense far surpassed that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
After all, such a situation is not difficult to see on the battlefield, as his captain, Daoist Luoyun, is a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
A strong spiritual sense means a strong Soul Devouring Technique, and a strong Soul Devouring Technique means strong combat power for Xia Yuhui. In the last mission, Xia Yuhui used the Soul Devouring Technique when chasing down two mid-grade second-tier demonic beasts.
With just two strikes, the souls of the two demonic beasts were shattered by his Soul Devouring Technique.
And after it was over, his spiritual consciousness didn't diminish much? This shows how powerful this move was.
In the cultivation world, most cultivators do not possess treasures that can defend against divine sense; they usually only focus on the defense of their physical body. This gives people like Xia Yuhui an opportunity to take advantage of them.
Besides the enhanced spiritual sense, Xia Yuhui also gained something else: his physical body had broken through to the middle tier of the second level, and he was now able to contend with a powerful middle tier second-level demonic beast.
