Chapter 127 Returning to the Market, Breakthrough
Upon hearing this, everyone felt somewhat relieved, and their expressions relaxed. They never expected that the Guiyun Sect, which had been extremely stingy in the past, would be so generous recently, which dispelled most of the gloom they felt when they arrived at the battlefield.
Daoist Luoyun took in everyone's expressions and nodded in satisfaction.
In the past, the Guiyun Sect would indeed use various tricks to gain more benefits. However, things are different now. If they were to do such things now, it would be tantamount to courting death.
The Guiyun Sect leader had already given a clear order to completely eliminate such behavior, so Daoist Luoyun naturally dared not disobey.
The group then set off on their journey home, clearly having made a great haul. Apart from Akagi Yoshiaki, who was slightly injured, the rest of the group was unharmed.
They arrived in a hurry, and left at breakneck speed. After flying for a while, they could see the outline of the market in the distance.
After arriving at the market, everyone greeted Daoist Luoyun and then dispersed.
Xia Yuhui followed the Jin family again to the place where they exchanged spiritual items, with the wolf demon following closely behind.
"Exchange all these demonic beasts for contribution points." As soon as he entered the room, Xia Yuhui said directly to the Guiyun Sect cultivators. Among these corpses was naturally the father of the demonic wolf behind him.
"As you command, senior!"
The Guiyun Sect disciples immediately and respectfully exchanged contribution points for the three of them, and also allocated the five thousand contribution points they had earned from this mission to them.
With such a huge haul, Xia Yuhui naturally prioritized purchasing the Gray Soul Stone. After spending 22,000 spirit stones to acquire it, Xia Yuhui then turned to browsing the other items.
Glancing at the wolf demon behind him, Xia Yuhui purchased another second-tier beast-taming bag to store the wolf demon inside. This treasure could directly hold two second-tier spirit beasts, costing Xia Yuhui two thousand contribution points.
Afterwards, they bought some other odds and ends before leaving with the Jin family.
As soon as Xia Yuhui and his two companions came out, Xia Guangyan spotted him from a distance and walked towards him with a smile.
Xia Yuhui also stepped forward. Xia Guangyan had just arrived at the market, and the two made contact as soon as they arrived.
"Yu Hui is in good condition and must have had a fruitful harvest."
"We have indeed gained something, but this trip has been quite arduous, and we don't know if we can return safely."
“Just now, I witnessed Fellow Daoist Xia’s strength. With this strength, returning to Jinling County should be no problem.” Jin Shengguang emerged from behind Xia Yuhui.
"Greetings, fellow Daoists!"
"everything is fine."
After exchanging a few words, the group dispersed, and Xia Yuhui took Xia Guangyan to his residence.
Upon arriving at the room, Xia Yuhui immediately took out two top-grade magic artifacts from his storage bag. These were crafted by him previously. Now that Xia Guangyan had only recently broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, his resources were probably still meager. These two top-grade magic artifacts could greatly increase his combat power and prevent him from dying here due to his weak combat strength.
Xia Guangyan hesitated for a moment, then readily accepted the gift.
"Don't underestimate Uncle Seven. I am now a true second-tier alchemist. In the future, I will be able to earn spirit stones and various spiritual items for cultivation. In a few years, I will come to you to refine a spiritual weapon."
"Then congratulations, Seventh Uncle." Xia Yuhui was overjoyed. Now that the Xia family has both a second-level weapon refiner and a second-level alchemist, the Xia family's revival is in sight.
"It's all thanks to the second-tier alchemy inheritance from my family. Otherwise, I would only be a little faster than my fellow disciples, and I wouldn't be as fast as I am now," Xia Guangyan said with some pride.
His talent for alchemy is indeed excellent; otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage so quickly. You must know that Xia Yuhui is just an exception in the cultivation world; without spirit stones, cultivation would be as slow as a snail.
Overjoyed, Xia Yuhui seemed to suddenly remember something and took out what he had obtained from his storage bag: several second-tier demon wolf cores.
"Seventh Uncle, this is my harvest this time. Could you refine it into pills?"
“Yes, I have already refined more than ten bottles of second-tier pills, and I have some skill now.” Xia Guangyan accepted the several second-tier demon cores and nodded slowly.
"Then Yu Hui thanks you very much."
After chatting for a while, Xia Guangyan left. Since they were not in the same team, they could not carry out the mission together.
After Xia Guangyan left, Xia Yuhui immediately began to cultivate in seclusion. Now that his cultivation was sufficient, he broke through to the third level of Foundation Establishment.
Half a month later, Xia Yuhui finally broke through to the third level of Foundation Establishment. Feeling that his magic power had increased by more than 30%, he immediately summoned Qingfeng and Mingyue.
"master!"
The two ghosts immediately knelt down, showing extraordinary respect.
"Take this Yin Water and use it to break through to the second-tier mid-grade as soon as possible." Xia Yuhui directly distributed forty bottles of Yin Water to the two ghosts.
"Thank you for your grace, Master!"
"Thank you, Master. May your immortal path prosper forever."
The two ghosts were overjoyed and quickly kowtowed to express their gratitude.
Xia Yuhui nodded slightly and sent the two ghosts away.
He could have bestowed the Yin Water earlier, but since the two ghosts' cultivation levels were higher than his own, he feared they would be unable to control it. Therefore, Xia Yuhui did not bestow the Yin Water too early.
Now that he has broken through the third level of Foundation Establishment, he will be able to break through to the middle level of Foundation Establishment in a few years. At that time, he and the two ghosts will be able to break through to the middle level of Foundation Establishment together.
"Is Fellow Daoist Xia inside?" After finishing everything, Xia Yuhui was about to continue his cultivation when a woman's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Xia Yuhui was taken aback. The voice sounded quite familiar. After a moment's thought, Xia Yuhui knew who it was and immediately went out to greet them.
"Fairy Su, how have you been?"
Upon exiting the house, they saw four cultivators standing outside, all of whom were at the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Fellow Daoist Xia, I just heard that you have arrived here, so I came to pay my respects. These two are my cousins, Su Qingzhu and Su Muhe."
"I've met all of you fellow Taoists."
Xia Yuhui greeted the other three people one by one.
"It's been several years since we last met. Fellow Daoist Xia's cultivation has become even more profound, which truly fills us with admiration." Su Ruquan said enviously as he sensed Xia Yuhui's aura.
"There is indeed some good fortune. Please come to my house and have a few cups of spiritual tea." After saying this, Xia Yuhui immediately transmitted his voice to the two ghosts, Qingfeng and Mingyue, ordering them to put away the Yin Water.
After the four members of the Su family finished their discussion via telepathy, they nodded in acknowledgment.
After Xia Yuhui activated the protective formation for the cave, Qingfeng and Mingyue respectfully stepped forward. As for the Yin Water, it had already been swallowed whole and hidden away.
Upon seeing the two ghosts, the Su family members sighed again, but Xia Yuhui paid no attention. Although they spoke thus, Xia Yuhui knew that given their status, their abilities were no less than his own.
The Su family has a profound heritage spanning a thousand years. Even with the assistance of two divine artifacts, it will still take some time to surpass it.
After everyone sat down inside, they began to chat. During the conversation, Xia Yuhui learned many things that he had not known before, such as that the countries around the ancient kingdom had successfully repelled the beast tide, and now only the ancient kingdom had not yet repelled the beast tide.
As for other countries providing assistance to Guiyun Sect, it's hard to imagine. It might have been possible when Guiyun Sect was powerful in the past, but now that Liu Wanguang, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, is nearing the end of his life, other forces are already eyeing him covetously, so why would they offer help?
"Fellow Daoist Su, did you and the other three members of the Su family come here at the summons of the Guiyun Sect?" Xia Yuhui asked, quite curious about the matter.
The Guiyun Sect recruits members based on the strength of the family. If a family has only four members below the Foundation Establishment stage and no late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Guiyun Sect will recruit all four of them to participate in the battle.
First-rate families like the Jin and Su families don't need to be overly cautious. They usually only send two Foundation Establishment cultivators on their own initiative, and some even send only one, like the Jin family.
"Oh, it's not as Fellow Daoist Xia thinks. My sister Qian and I are here to do business," Su Qingzhu, who had the highest cultivation level, explained with a smile.
Xia Yuhui suddenly realized that if his family could do business in Qingshui County, then the Su family, as the most powerful family in Heshan County, could naturally do the same.
Thinking of this, Xia Yuhui suddenly had an idea.
"Fellow Daoist Su, could you do me a favor?" Xia Yuhui asked, feigning hesitation.
