"Alright, take out the things Uncle Yao asked you to bring me."
Upon hearing this, Xia Liangxin immediately took out an unopened jade slip from his storage bag.
"Alright, now that the family is on the right track, you don't need to go back. Just focus on your cultivation here. Spend the next few years honing your magical power, and you should have Foundation Establishment Pills soon."
Upon hearing about the Foundation Establishment Pill, Xia Liangxin's face lit up like a ripe apple, her joy even greater. She then led Xia Liangqing towards Qingfeng Mingyue. Since Xia Yuhui had not bestowed the evil spirit upon her here, it would be the same if she asked Qingfeng Mingyue for it.
"Uncle Qingfeng, Uncle Mingyue, how have you been? Have you missed me?"
Qingfeng and Mingyue watched as the tall and short figures rushed towards them, their expressions instantly turning sour. They still preferred the honest and simple-minded Wang Liangxing, while these two were simply more troublesome than the other.
One of them wore his inner thoughts on his sleeve in front of them, while the other only revealed his true colors when Xia Yuhui was absent, and was even more so.
Xia Yuhui ignored the two and returned directly to his cave. Xia Liangxin was now at the peak of Qi Refining, so the family would likely gain another Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Deep in his heart, he absolutely refused to allow anyone to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage simply by relying on the grace of their ancestors; even Xia Lingshan's own grandson would never be able to do so.
However, things are very different now. Before this, Xia Yuhui had already thoroughly investigated Xia Liangxin. Over the years, Xia Liangxin had made great contributions to the family in the Chu Kingdom, and at the same time won the recognition of the family. He had gradually emerged among the Liang generation and had a certain voice.
The unspoken understanding among all the senior members is that they will exchange the Foundation Establishment Pill for this outstanding young talent, who is second only to Xia Lianghe.
As for the concern that Xia Liangxin's contribution points were insufficient, Xia Yuhui had never even considered it, since most of Xia Lingshan's contribution points had been passed down to her.
Moreover, Xia Liangxin himself has earned a lot of contribution points over the years, which is more than enough to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills.
Upon returning to his cave, Xia Yuhui immediately opened the jade slip and began reading it with great eagerness.
In a short while, he finished reading the entire letter. The letter mostly described the situation of the Xia family in the State of Chu, as well as the distribution of surrounding forces. Xia Guangyao also emphasized that Xia Yuhui should visit the State of Chu when he had time.
After pondering for a moment, Xia Yuhui decided to go directly to the State of Chu in a few years. In recent years, the ancient state and the State of Chu have been engaged in fierce battles. If this continues, the Xia family will inevitably be drawn into it. Therefore, he is currently unable to extricate himself.
Left with no other choice, Xia Guangyao and the others could only continue to suffer.
With a casual wave of his hand, the jade tube in his hand streaked across the sky like a shooting star and instantly turned to ashes. Then he ran to the weapon-refining room and took out a set of scale armor.
After a series of fierce battles, Xia Yuhui's scale armor was in terrible condition. Now, he had no choice but to spend some time reforging it.
After briefly disassembling the scale armor, he stopped abruptly, not because he was unable to repair it, but because the materials had not yet arrived and he needed to wait a while.
After leaving the weapon-refining room, Xia Yuhui summoned Qingfeng and Mingyue. At this time, Qingfeng and Mingyue had been tormented by those two little devils. Not only had more than a dozen evil spirits been taken away, but even a discarded Hundred Ghost Banner had been directly taken away.
Upon hearing Xia Yuhui's summons, the two ghosts' eyes lit up, and they rushed into the cave like lightning.
Now, Xia Yuhui has reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and the purpose for which he summoned the two of them is obvious even to a fool.
They were overjoyed, like thoroughbred horses that had found the right mentor, and followed Xia Yuhui closely.
Although Xia Yuhui usually beats and scolds them, and makes them act as the vanguard in times of danger, and even makes them draw enemy fire in desperate situations, Xia Yuhui is very generous!
Sure enough, in just over a decade, they are about to break through to the second-tier high-grade ghost realm. This is an opportunity that countless ghosts dream of, yet they have stumbled upon it.
The two ghosts stepped into Xia Yuhui's cave and immediately saw Xia Yuhui sitting upright in the main chair, with a bottle of Drunken Immortal Wine emitting a captivating aroma on the table.
Qingfeng eagerly took a few steps forward and carefully poured Xia Yuhui a full cup.
"My lord, please enjoy this fine wine."
Not to be outdone, Mingyue quickly stepped forward and stood behind Xia Yuhui, gently massaging his back and shoulders. However, because Xia Yuhui's body was as hard as steel, this amount of force was nothing more than a tickle to him.
"I heard that after you break through to the superior-grade spirit ghost level, your supernatural abilities will increase several times over, like a roc spreading its wings?" Xia Yuhui's voice was calm as still water.
Upon hearing this, Mingyue, fearing that her opportunity might change, quickly said, "Master is absolutely right. If we can truly break through to the upper level, not only will our ghost energy increase several times over, but our supernatural abilities will also greatly improve. Even if we were to fight against a human Foundation Establishment cultivator, we would certainly not be at a disadvantage."
"However, please rest assured, Master, we two ghosts are loyal to you with unwavering loyalty, as steadfast as a rock, and will never disobey your orders in the slightest."
"Yes, yes, my loyalty to my master is as clear as day and night, and I will never betray him in the slightest."
"It's alright, it's fine to go against the grain occasionally, anyway I don't want to spend any more resources to help you break through."
"No, Master, I am the most obedient. If you lack Yin Water, then don't give it to Mingyue. After I break through, you can just use me as one of the two ghosts."
Upon hearing Xia Yuhui's words, Qingfeng was terrified. He no longer cared about Mingyue, who was staring in disbelief. Like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, he grabbed Xia Yuhui's leg and began to wail and wail.
"Shut up! You stupid fool, with your blockhead, even if you break through, you'll be of no use to your master. Only I, Mingyue, can solve your master's problems." Mingyue kicked it away without mercy and hugged Xia Yuhui's leg tightly as she retorted.
“You may be clever and quick-witted, but a clever ugly thing is of no use to the master. The master is wise and mighty, why would he need an ugly head like yours? Although I, Qingfeng, am stupid, I am loyal to the master. To the master, I am the most useful. So you should get out of here.” Qingfeng retorted without hesitation.
Looking at Qingfeng's face, Mingyue was even more astonished. She could hardly believe that this stupid fool had become so eloquent today.
Indeed, the potential of ghosts is limitless.
However, it was no less formidable. Thinking of this, it immediately clung tightly to Xia Yuhui's leg, wailing and sobbing:
"Master, you must not believe its nonsense. It is not loyal to you at all. I remember it said bad things about you last time, such as, 'Master, why haven't you broken through yet? It really wants to break through with you.'"
"Mingyue, you damned devil, how dare you slander me! I'll fight you to the death!" With that, it grabbed Mingyue like a raging bull and began to fight.
Not to be outdone, Mingyue immediately retaliated.
Xia Yuhui watched the farce of the two ghosts quietly, like an observer. After several days of careful consideration, he had decided to allow only one ghost to break through, for two reasons. First, resources were scarce, making it difficult to support two ghosts' breakthroughs simultaneously.
