Chapter 119 Four Top-Grade Magical Artifacts, Second-Tier Puppet
Moreover, before any genius emerges, the Chen family will likely be like sand on the riverbank, easily swept away and reduced to dust in history.
Now, the great war in the northern frontier is imminent. When the war breaks out, Guiyun Sect will definitely draw most of the Chen family's fighting force to the battlefield to serve as cannon fodder. At that time, a few rogue cultivators will probably be able to wipe out the Chen family. Therefore, they must find a backer. The Xia family is like a towering mountain. Not only are the two Foundation Establishment cultivators in their prime, but their family foundation is also unfathomable.
"Very well, then let the Chen family return, but the treatment will remain the same as before. I hope that you will all understand the meaning of loyalty in the future."
Xia Yuhui's words were indeed a well-considered decision. In the past, the Chen family separated from the Xia family with their consent and without doing anything that would harm the Xia family's interests.
With a major battle looming in the northern frontier, the arrival of the Chen family at this time is quite opportune.
"Thank you, Chief Xia!"
Chen Ruhai bowed deeply to Xia Yuhui once again.
"Well, leave the follow-up matters to the Grand Elder. Go and handle them quickly. I have a premonition that the war in the Northern Frontier is imminent, so I need to return to seclusion to improve my cultivation in order to prepare for the upcoming war."
"Alright, don't worry, clan leader. Just focus on your cultivation. I will handle the rest properly."
"Yu Hui, I will also be returning to the sect in the next few days. I'm afraid I will also be conscripted to the battlefield." Xia Guangyan's expression was solemn.
He had not expected that the Xia family would need to send two Foundation Establishment cultivators to the battlefield so soon after they appeared.
Thinking of this, he felt deeply worried about the fate of the Xia family.
Xia Yuhui, sensing his doubts, smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, Seventh Uncle. If we all meet with misfortune this time, then the other families will likely suffer the same fate. At that time, my Xia family will still be the overlord of Jinling County."
"Um…"
After bidding farewell to everyone, Xia Yuhui returned to his cave. Now that the Northern Frontier battlefield could easily allow two Foundation Establishment demonic beasts to enter the rear, the real decisive battle must be just around the corner.
Whether it's five years, one year, or even sooner, he needs to prepare for his own future. After all, who wants to face death lightly?
Inside the cave, Wang Liangxing had already entered a meditative state and reached the first level of Qi Refining. At this moment, he was diligently cultivating in the courtyard.
Looking at Wang Liangxing's extremely unnatural expression, Xia Yuhui couldn't help but smile. He figured Wang Liangxing was probably eager to end this cultivation session. However, Xia Yuhui wouldn't allow it; the path of cultivation required enduring loneliness.
He summoned the gentle breeze and bright moon, gave them a few words of advice, then picked a pear from the side and began to chew it heartily.
After finishing the peach, Xia Yuhui immediately turned and entered the cave…
Two years later, in front of Xia Yuhui's cave, Xia Yuhua, now more composed, slowly walked to the outside of the formation, and the formation immediately opened an entrance large enough for her to enter.
Xia Yuhua walked in slowly. At this moment, Wang Liangxing, who was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard, immediately stopped and bowed to Xia Yuhua. At this time, he was already a cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining.
These past two years have been quite fulfilling for him. Not only did he make many friends among the children of the same age at the Xia family school, but after returning to his cave, Xia Liangxin would also come here from time to time to help him pass the time.
Of course, most of the time Xia Liangxin was studying magic with Qingfeng and Mingyue.
Xia Yuhua nodded and smiled at him. He had also heard that Xia Yuhui had taken on a disciple a few years ago, and he figured it must be this person.
"Brother, come in and let's talk," Xia Yuhui's voice came from inside the cave.
Xia Yuhua then entered the cave.
At this moment, Xia Yuhui was organizing various materials in the weapon-refining room.
On the table were four exquisite magical artifacts.
"It seems that Yu Hui, your weapon-refining skills have improved rapidly over the past few years."
"It's all about practice. I've spent a lot of time and effort on these few top-grade magic artifacts, but fortunately my proficiency has improved. In a few days, I'll be refining spiritual artifacts," Xia Yuhui replied while organizing the materials.
"Alas, if only you could have another ten years, this is the injustice of Heaven." Xia Yuhua sighed. With Xia Yuhui's current talent, if he could really have another ten years, he would definitely be able to break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. At that time, his life-saving methods would greatly increase, and our Xia family would have hope of rising again.
“Cultivating immortality involves fighting against people and contending with the heavens! If it cannot be avoided, then I can only do my best. This is not the first time I, Xia Yuhui, have done this.”
"Sigh, yes, it's always you, and only you."
"Stop talking. You have now honed your magical power to perfection and are qualified to establish your foundation. How do you feel?"
"I'm slightly excited, but also a little scared. Compared to how you used to be, am I still able to reach that level?"
"I was also a first-timer at that time, just like you. There's no need to feel pressured. Just let things take their course. Here, this is the Vitality Elixir."
Xia Yuhua took it, staring at Xia Yuhui with a solemn expression. In the next instant, it seemed as if tears were about to roll down her cheeks.
"With the Foundation Establishment Pill, you should be fifty percent confident. Don't be so sentimental. I'm not that fragile. When I return, you'll treat me to a pot of tea. I want those few pounds of second-grade spiritual tea that you've hidden in your cave."
"Hahaha! I didn't expect you to find out so quickly. I thought I could hide it for a few more years, by which time I would be almost done drinking."
"Hmph, I already noticed when you drank it last time. Come on, I'll see you off. I also need to pay my respects to the Grand Elder."
The two left the cave chatting and laughing, and when they reached a fork in the road, they went their separate ways.
Inside Xia Guangchang's cave, Xia Yuhui handed the magic sword in his hand to Xia Guangchang.
This magical artifact must be kept at home; otherwise, if he were to meet with misfortune, this artifact, which has been passed down for seven hundred years, would cease to exist.
"Sigh, the Guiyun Sect is really impatient, leaving no time to prepare at all."
Xia Guangchang sighed deeply. A few days ago, Guiyun Sect sent a message saying that they would set off for the Northern Frontier for a decisive battle in a year. The Xia family would need to send one Foundation Establishment cultivator, three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, and more than thirty mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators.
This is a mandatory requirement. The number of Qi Refining cultivators is not entirely unnecessarily negotiable, but that requires the payment of spirit stones, which are incredibly expensive. Therefore, cultivation families usually do not pay spirit stones.
"When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Just like the two vassal clans of our Xia family, we have no choice but to try our best to climb higher."
"That is truly remarkable. The Guiyun Sect has a history spanning thousands of years and possesses profound cultural heritage, much like a vast ocean with a long and rich history."
Xia Yuhui took out a puppet monkey from his storage bag and said in a deep voice, "Jiang Hai was also formed from drops of water. This is a second-tier puppet beast that I have refined. It can fight against an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. If that Linggui Daoist ignores his injuries and comes to ambush us, we can use this puppet beast to deal with him."
Upon seeing the puppet beast, Xia Guangchang excitedly rushed forward and stroked it all over, exclaiming, "It's real!"
After checking and confirming that everything was in order, Xia Guangchang hesitated for a moment, then turned to Xia Yuhui and said, "Yuhui, perhaps we can leave this place."
“Absolutely impossible. In my opinion, Guiyun Sect must have already made contingency plans. Besides, I am unwilling to leave, otherwise I would have already prepared for the relocation.” Xia Yuhui’s expression was extremely solemn at this moment.
