Chapter 204 The Bottleneck in the Xia Family's Development
Seeing this from a distance, Xia Yulin's expression changed drastically, and he quickly explained, "Clan leader, the Lion Lord has rather peculiar tastes. Since it has already eaten all the spirit beasts it likes, so..."
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhui immediately unleashed a powerful aura like a volcanic eruption, his hands crackling as if a string of firecrackers were exploding.
Suddenly, Lion Rock Roar in the distance stood up abruptly, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, its nose frantically sucking in the surrounding air like a vacuum cleaner.
Soon, it smelled a familiar scent, just like a hunting dog.
However, before it could react, a familiar voice, like a thunderclap, grew louder and louder in its ears.
boom!
"Roar!"
Immediately afterwards, a heart-wrenching roar, like a pig being slaughtered, rang out.
When Xia Yuhui arrived at Lion Rock Roar's side, Lion Rock Roar was already spinning wildly in place like a top, and it was constantly making roaring noises, which sounded like the howling of a demon, indicating that it was in great pain.
Xia Yuhui couldn't hold back any longer and kicked it like a cannonball.
bump!
With that kick, the ground beneath Lion Rock Roar cracked open like a spiderweb.
"Still pretending? Get up!"
Lion Rock Roar was kicked again, and stood up looking like a defeated rooster, looking aggrieved.
That's right, it was just pretending. If it didn't pretend to be in pain, what if Xia Yuhui hit it with another crimson lightning bolt?
Xia Yuhui knew this monster inside and out. When he first subdued it, he unleashed at least a dozen bolts of crimson lightning.
However, the Lion Rock Roar managed to withstand the immense power of that crimson lightning, so now, a mere bolt of crimson lightning is nothing more than a piece of cake for it.
It's just a minor injury.
"Yulin, from now on, feed it whatever you have. Don't spoil it. Just give it food. As for those who are taking care of it, let them all go and do other important things."
A hint of joy appeared on Xia Yulin's face, but this joy vanished as quickly as a shooting star, and he immediately hid it.
To be honest, he had also reached his limit with this monster, but he could only endure it out of respect for the clan leader's authority. Now, however, he was finally free.
After the crowd receded like a tide, Xia Yuhui stepped forward and flicked Lion Rock Roar's claw with his middle finger.
Lion Rock Roar's face instantly turned extremely ugly, as if it had been struck by lightning, because it felt a heart-wrenching pain in its claws, as if it were being burned by raging fire.
"You beast, behave yourself from now on." Xia Yuhui's voice was as cold as frost.
After saying that, he took out two boxes from his storage bag and quickly opened them.
In an instant, a terrifying demonic aura spread out like a surging wave, causing the demonic beasts confined in cages around to become restless, like a disturbed swarm of bees.
However, Xia Yuhui immediately released his powerful aura, like a towering mountain, steadily suppressing those demonic beasts.
The monsters instantly became as docile as sheep, obediently lying on the ground.
Under the longing gaze of the Lion Rock Roar, Xia Yuhui threw two demon cores directly into the Lion Rock Roar's mouth.
Lion Rock Roar was overjoyed, swallowed it whole, and immediately lay down on the ground, wagging its tail as if to express its endless gratitude to Xia Yuhui.
Feeling the Lion Rock Roar's aura intensify, Xia Yuhui smiled with satisfaction.
If this demon beast could be ranked among the great demons, it would undoubtedly be a great boost to him.
Unfortunately, reaching the realm of a great demon is not something that can be easily achieved with just two demon cores. In addition to an exceptional bloodline, a massive amount of resources are also required as an aid.
However, Lion Rock Roar's bloodline only possesses the potential to enter the ranks of great demons. To advance to the third rank, it requires an extraordinary stroke of luck.
However, if such an opportunity were to truly arise, why would Xia Yuhui bestow it upon this beast?
As for the resources needed to break through to the Great Demon realm, Xia Yuhui was extremely reluctant to part with them. He might be able to obtain them from other alchemy cultivators at a great cost, but Xia Yuhui would never make such a choice lightly.
Now, the only hope is that Xia Yuhua, a second-tier alchemist from the Xia family, can refine a pill that can help demonic beasts advance to the level of great demons.
Over the years, Xia Yuhui's weapon-refining skills have become increasingly exquisite, reaching the pinnacle of perfection.
With the strong support of the Xia family, Xia Yuhua has also been able to refine a variety of second-tier pills.
Nowadays, all the pills used by the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Xia family are made by Xia Yuhua.
However, those pills were like a drop in the ocean for Xia Yuhui, far from meeting his needs.
Now, he is all set to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and he needs some potent medicinal pills to do so.
However, the Xia family was like a skilled cook without rice; although they had various alchemy formulas, including one for Foundation Establishment Pills, they lacked the crucial medicinal ingredient.
These rare and precious medicinal materials are usually held tightly in the hands of powerful and influential forces, such as the Guiyun Sect.
I heard that Guiyun Sect has a special place for growing spiritual herbs, where countless rare spiritual plants are grown, and the materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills every year are taken from there.
These spiritual plants have been cultivated there for over a thousand years and are one of the foundations of the Guiyun Sect.
However, some families, such as the Su family, can also refine Foundation Establishment Pills. However, their pill formulas are different from those of the Guiyun Sect. Some of their main ingredients are directly replaced by the demon cores of second-tier great demons.
Of course, the Xia family is not without anything. In another fifty or sixty years, the Xia family will also possess a variety of Yin-attribute spiritual plants...
After feeding Lion Rock Roar two demon cores, Xia Yuhui left.
A dozen or so breaths later, Xia Yuhui appeared inside the cave.
"Master."
Wang Liangxing, who had been waiting in the cave for a long time, immediately bowed to Xia Yuhui when he saw him appear.
"Well, here we come."
Wang Liangxing was someone he had specially summoned. In the past few years, he had been stationed in the market for extended periods to deter those petty villains, so he had summoned him to guide his cultivation at any time.
"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I personally taught you cultivation. Now, quickly tell me about your confusion."
"Thank you for your care, Master."
Wang Liangxing didn't mince words and immediately laid out all the problems he encountered during his cultivation, including those related to magic, immortal cultivation techniques, and understanding of cultivation methods.
Xia Yuhui patiently answered each question one by one.
"Master, do you think the path of talisman drawing is not meant for me?" Wang Liangxing asked, his face full of worry, looking as wilted as a frostbitten eggplant.
Since childhood, his family has discovered that he has the talent to be a talisman artist. Over the years, he has been studying diligently, but his progress has been minimal. Now, he is considering giving up.
"No, you must not question the family. The family's method for testing talent in cultivation skills was learned from the Guiyun Sect. The fact that you were chosen to become a talisman drawer means that you do have this talent. You just lack time to hone it."
"Therefore, you are not lacking in talent, but only in time. After some time, when you have made some progress, you will surely be captivated by the wonders of drawing talismans."
