Chapter 191 Arrangements! The Crimson Fruit Tree Ripens
Soon after, the group began discussing the candidates again. This discussion was like a fierce battle, lasting for half a day. Finally, a candidate was selected from among the many people. This time, more than 150 people were chosen. Among them, those with exceptional talent from the Liang generation were all selected, such as Xia Lianghe, Xia Liangxin, Xia Liangmu, Xia Liangshou, etc.
Among those of the "Yu" generation were Xia Yufeng, Xia Yuzong, and Xia Yufei, and Xia Guangyao and Xia Guangyang were chosen as their leaders.
Not only that, but also all the various martial arts manuals, rare treasures, and even the second-tier puppet in the Xia family's library were also there.
“Uncle Yao, in three days, you will need to stay at Wugui Mountain for a few days. As for when to set off for Chu, that’s up to you, but it would be best to do so within five days.”
"Okay!" Xia Guangyao replied after a slight hesitation.
After finishing his business, Xia Yuhui immediately picked up his brush and wrote a letter on the table. This letter was to be delivered to Xia Guangyan. In the letter, Xia Yuhui did not speak directly, but wrote several paragraphs in veiled language. Even if this letter fell into the hands of the Guiyun Sect cultivators, they would not be able to find any fault with it.
"Uncle Guangyan, this letter is for you. There's no need to hide it from the Guiyun Sect cultivators. Just go directly to them and give it to Uncle Guangyan. If it's inconvenient, you can give it directly to the Guiyun Sect cultivators as well." After saying this, Xia Yuhui handed over the letter.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this," Xia Guangbang quickly replied after receiving the letter.
"Uncle Guang'en, Uncle Guangjian, Uncle Guangwu, the three of you shall set off immediately to gather information in various places. Make sure to ensure the authenticity of this information. If there is any other information, you may also investigate it. The most important thing is to find out the movements of the Guiyun Sect." Xia Yuhui assigned the tasks one by one.
"Leader!"
Upon receiving the order, the three quickly walked out of the council hall.
"Alright, Elder and Fourth Elder, please stay here for now. The rest of you, go and prepare immediately."
After Xia Yuhui finished speaking, the crowd in the hall scattered like birds and beasts, and they left in a hurry.
Those who are selected now are like kites with broken strings, and may not be able to return to Lingfeng Mountain for more than ten years or even forever, so they have many things to prepare.
After everyone had left, Xia Yuhui calmly picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then stared at Xia Guangyao and Xia Guangchang with a complex expression.
The two did not speak out this time, but remained silent and waited quietly. They knew that Xia Yuhui would definitely tell the truth.
After a long while, Xia Yuhui slowly opened his mouth and recounted the whole story of what had happened last time.
After hearing the whole story, Xia Guangyao and Xia Guangchang were stunned, as if struck by lightning. They remained silent for a long time before Xia Guangchang finally spoke: "Yu Hui, do you think that demon king will make your affair with it public?"
"It's hard to fathom. How could I dare to gamble on its goodness? That's why I've made this plan. But it's highly unlikely to act this way. I'm just an insignificant little person, not even worth its attention. Besides, it probably already believes I've been poisoned."
After hearing Xia Yuhui's explanation, the two felt relieved. However, their nerves remained extremely tense. Now, one wrong step could lead to total defeat and the annihilation of their entire clan. They dared not relax in the slightest.
"Sigh, I'd better send some more people to the Guiyun Sect to keep a close watch on them. If they make any moves, we'll be able to detect it immediately," Xia Guangchang said helplessly.
"Yes, these are three Foundation Establishment Pills. I originally planned to exchange them for my second brother and the others after some time, but now that my eighth brother and Lianghe are going on a long journey, I will give two of the Foundation Establishment Pills to Uncle Yao. Then I will have them transfer the contribution points to me. Remember, you must not reveal your whereabouts to anyone, not even me. If there are no changes in the family within three years, we will contact each other again."
"Rest assured, I will proceed with utmost care and caution in such an important matter," Xia Guangyao said solemnly.
Afterwards, the three of them discussed the matter in the council hall for another four or five hours before the meeting finally ended.
After the meeting, Xia Yuhui left Lingfeng Mountain without stopping and rushed to the Cai family's territory. Before long, he arrived at the Deathly Yin Land, which was surrounded by Yin energy.
Upon arriving at this place, Xia Yuhui was shocked to find that some of his abilities had been triggered. He hurriedly went forward to check and discovered two human skeletons on the ground.
After investigating and finding that they were just two ordinary people, Xia Yuhui stepped into the Dead Yin Forbidden Land without hesitation.
As soon as he entered, Mingyue flew out of his hand like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, greedily absorbing the surrounding yin energy.
Hua Xiahui also arrived at the two secluded valley trees. At this time, the two trees were laden with fruit, and the fruit was plump and full of spiritual energy. It looked so delicious that people couldn't help but want to take a few bites.
Xia Yuhui picked a fruit and examined it carefully. Finding nothing unusual, he couldn't wait to take a bite. The piece of fruit he bit into seemed to instantly transform into a pool of nectar, slowly melting in his mouth and flowing into his stomach. Then, like a babbling brook, it transformed into streams of pure spiritual energy, continuously flowing into his entire body.
Xia Yuhui felt an unbearable itching all over his body, and then the effect disappeared as if a stone had sunk into the sea. The fruit's function was nothing more than to enhance the strength of the physical body, but with Xia Yuhui's current physical strength, it was already as solid as a rock, so it could not be enhanced casually.
Even if you swallowed this whole fruit whole, it wouldn't have much of an effect, let alone just one bite.
However, if all the fruit from these two fruits were used to refine into pills and then consumed, his physical body would definitely undergo a complete transformation, like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
Thinking of this, he quickly picked all the fruit from the two trees.
After the fruit on the two trees disappeared, the two ancient trees, like old people in their twilight years, slowly withered away before Xia Yuhui's eyes, until only two dead trunks remained.
Xia Yuhui didn't care and directly uprooted the two dead trees. At this time, the roots under the dead trees were already rotten. After casually throwing the two dead trees far away, he carefully tidied up the spiritual field in this place.
He then took out seven or eight seeds and two seedlings. These seeds and seedlings were all second-tier spiritual items, which he had obtained through great effort on the Guiyun Sect's contribution list.
The reason he went to such great lengths was to plant them here today. Most of these spiritual objects are meant to enhance cultivation, just like the second-tier spiritual peach from the Xia family.
Among these spiritual objects, the one Xia Yuhui valued most was the second-tier Crimson Fruit Tree—yes, the very Crimson Fruit Tree that could assist in Foundation Establishment.
Xia Yuhui spent a full 10,000 contribution points on this seed alone. The Crimson Fruit has extremely demanding growing conditions; it must be planted in a place with abundant spiritual energy and rich yin energy, and this place just happens to meet its growing conditions.
However, even so, it would take a long time of a hundred years for this fruit tree to mature and bear fruit. Therefore, this fruit tree can only become the foundation of the family and cannot benefit the Xia family in the present.
