Chapter 112 What happened
"I see. Then I'll trouble the clan leader to generously impart his knowledge." Xia Lianghe instantly realized that Xia Yuhui had seen through his weapon-forging results, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. However, he knew the importance of asking questions, so he immediately asked for guidance.
Xia Yuhui is currently the most skilled weapon refiner in the entire Xia family, and he must seize this opportunity today no matter what.
"Okay, how's your study of the weapon-refining notes I gave you last time?"
"Reporting to the clan leader, after obtaining the notes, I studied them several times every day. To date, I have read them countless times and have long since mastered the key points and techniques for refining mid-grade magic weapons. However, my success rate is still slightly low when refining them."
"Hmm, very good. I just observed your progress in refining weapons. Right now, you are just not skilled enough. If you practice a few more times, your success rate will increase significantly. Of course, your technique is not without its problems. Now, let me demonstrate it for you."
"Thank you, patriarch!"
Xia Lianghe was overjoyed and quickly stepped aside to watch.
Xia Yuhui immediately began refining the weapon, using one of the two materials placed to the side. During the refining process, Xia Yuhui explained his insights and precautions to Xia Lianghe while refining the weapon, and he did so with great ease, leaving Xia Lianghe completely absorbed.
Before long, Xia Yuhui successfully forged the magic weapon. Due to the limited materials, the magic weapon that Xia Yuhui finally forged was only of medium grade. However, its quality was incomparable to those ordinary magic weapons and had reached the limit of medium grade.
"Here, activate this magical artifact and try it out. See how it feels."
Xia Lianghe immediately took it and used his magic power to activate it. In a short while, a small disc appeared in front of Xia Lianghe, and a light shield also appeared in front of the magic artifact, protecting Xia Lianghe.
"The patriarch's creation is indeed of excellent quality." Xia Lianghe solemnly stroked the disc.
"Alright, then you'll be in charge of refining the next batch of materials, and I'll supervise you."
"Yes!"
Xia Liang took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and began refining the weapon.
Xia Yuhui observed from the sidelines without offering any guidance. The most important thing in refining weapons and pills is to avoid interference during the process; therefore, he could only offer guidance after Xia Lianghe had finished refining.
During this time, he already knew that Wan Kuifu and Yan Hanyun had arrived at the shop with two cultivators, but he did not go out to greet them. Instead, he continued to pay attention to Xia Liang and the weapon refining.
After a long while, Xia Lianghe successfully crafted the magical artifact.
"Hmm, very good. Your foundation is quite solid. In the future, you only need to practice diligently to gradually increase your success rate. Of course, you should not put all your energy into weapon crafting. Cultivation skills are merely tools. Do you understand?"
"Thank you for your teachings, clan chief! I will remember them."
"Alright, then you should restore your magic power. I'll go and entertain our two distinguished guests."
"Respectfully seeing off the clan leader!"
Xia Lianghe watched Xia Yuhui's receding figure, then gazed at the newly crafted magical artifact in his hand, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
Before long, Xia Yuhui arrived at a side room. As soon as he pushed open the door, Wan Kuifu and Yan Hanyun stood up from their seats.
"Fellow Daoists, you have been waiting for a long time. Just now, one of my juniors was refining a weapon, so I took the opportunity to go and give him some pointers, and thus I forgot about the time."
"It's alright, Fellow Daoist Xia. Now, the truth has come out. It was these two who colluded with the Cai and Chi Mu families, revealing your whereabouts to them, which led them to send people to surround and kill you. I have now captured these two, and you can do with them as you see fit, Fellow Daoist Xia."
"Furthermore, my disciple has also made a grave mistake this time. If you have any requests, please feel free to make them. As long as they are reasonable, I will certainly grant them."
Xia Yuhui nodded, and with a slight lift of his right hand, the bright moon immediately appeared in his palm. "Master!"
"Search the souls of these two people; I want to know the whole story."
"Senior, spare our lives! We were forced into this situation; it was all the Cai family's doing!" The two cultivators kneeling on the ground immediately kowtowed repeatedly in fear.
"Hehe! How dare you make a racket in front of your master! Come, come, let me treat you properly." Upon seeing this, Mingyue turned her hands into claws and lifted the two of them up by their necks.
"what………"
A moment later, two heart-wrenching screams rang out, and those outside heard them. Two Xia family cultivators rushed over, intending to open the door and investigate.
"No need, all of you may leave." Xia Yuhui waved one arm, and a barrier enveloped the entire room.
Because Xia Yuhui needed to know the whole story, the entire soul-searching process lasted for half an incense stick's time, and the two of them were so exhausted that their eyes were cloudy.
After finishing, Mingyue threw the two men to the ground, clapped her hands, and obediently came to Xia Yuhui's side, "Hehe, Master, the matter is settled."
After speaking, he transmitted a massive amount of information to Xia Yuhui using the method of sound transmission.
Xia Yuhui closed his eyes to decipher the information. After more than ten breaths, his eyes suddenly turned cold. "The souls of these two are now yours." Xia Yuhui immediately gave the order to Mingyue.
Mingyue accepted the order and immediately stepped forward like an arrow. Ignoring the two people's frightened expressions, she pulled out the two souls with both hands, which eventually turned into two soul orbs and were hidden in her body.
"Don't worry, Master, I'm an expert in this kind of thing. I'll make sure they suffer for five or six days."
Xia Yuhui did not respond to Mingyue's words, as he had already roughly learned the ins and outs of the whole matter.
Several years ago, after Xia Yuhui publicly killed a Cai family cultivator in front of the Cai and Chimu families, the Cai family had long wanted to kill Xia Yuhui and had been searching for his whereabouts for a long time before finally getting their wish.
Because one of the two who had just been refined into souls was gossipy and revealed the matter of Xia Yuhui and Yan Hanyun, the Cai family and the Chimu family soon came to visit them.
Fearing to offend the Xia family, the two naturally refused. Unexpectedly, the Cai family took direct action against them, severely punishing them. The two immediately became obedient and told the Cai and Akagi families about the whole incident.
Next came the assassination attempt on Xia Yuhui by the Cai and Chimu families. However, Xia Yuhui was unaware that the killing of the demonic cultivator was ultimately accomplished by the body-refining rogue cultivator Zhou Gulin alone.
When the Cai and Akagi families saw that Xia Yuhui had not arrived, they had no choice but to leave. However, Zhou Gulin mysteriously disappeared in the end.
“Fellow Daoist Xia, although this matter was not caused by my disciple, he is still guilty. If Fellow Daoist Xia has any requests, as long as they are not excessive, I will certainly grant them. I hope Fellow Daoist Xia will speak frankly.”
That being said, Wan Kuifu was well aware that Xia Yuhui would not make excessive demands. After all, although he was no match for Xia Yuhui, he was still a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and Xia Yuhui would not easily offend him.
Xia Yuhui narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "Then I will speak frankly. If Fellow Daoist Wan does not agree, you may refuse directly."
"Of course, of course." Wan Kuifu became nervous when he heard Xia Yuhui actually speak. At this moment, he was most afraid that Xia Yuhui would completely disregard him and say something outrageous.
However, his worries were soon confirmed. Xia Yuhui's first words caught him off guard: "Fellow Daoist Wan, my Xia family wishes to cooperate with you to jointly run the Wanxianglou business."
"How exactly will we cooperate?" Wan Kuifu pondered for a moment, then suppressed his anger and asked in a gentle tone.
