"Tell me the whole story in its entirety, without missing a single detail."
At this moment, Xia Yuhui had changed into a gray robe specially prepared for battle, making him appear as a steady mountain, exuding extraordinary majesty.
A dozen or so breaths passed in the blink of an eye, and Xia Liangqing recounted the whole story in detail.
After Xia Yuhui learned the whole story, the Soul Searching in the Breeze was successfully completed.
"Master, I have performed an unparalleled service this time. Should I be credited with a reward?"
"Shut up, and send me what you found right away." Xia Yuhui's words were as sharp as a cold wind.
Since he rose to fame, this is the first time anyone has dared to come to the Xia family's territory to attack Xia family cultivators. The last one was the Spirit Ghost Daoist, and now the grass on his grave has grown to half a foot high.
Seeing Xia Yuhui's gloomy expression, Qingfeng dared not delay and quickly revealed all the information he knew.
It turns out that the deceased cultivator was named Li Keren, a demonic cultivator from the Chu Kingdom. Several months ago, he was recruited by the Chu Kingdom and sent to the ancient kingdom to spy on information. His main target was the Xia family.
Unexpectedly, on his way to the ancient kingdom, he encountered a sworn enemy. He was then beaten badly and forced to flee in a sorry state.
Upon arriving in Jinling County, his injuries were too severe, so he had to find a place to heal. Because he practiced demonic arts, he could recover from his injuries by consuming flesh and blood, so he hid in the surrounding mountains.
At first, he targeted ordinary people passing by, but eventually found that using their blood essence was too slow. So he set a trap to lure two Qi Refining cultivators from the Xia family there, and then brutally murdered them.
After killing the two Xia family cultivators, he knew that he had aroused the Xia family's suspicion, so he went into hiding for the time being. In the past few days, his injuries have recovered a little, and he has started to take action again.
However, he never expected that he would ultimately fall into the hands of Xia Liangqing, a rising star.
After learning what had happened, Xia Yuhui could only sigh helplessly. The Xia family could not remain unscathed after all; they had already been drawn into the vortex of this war.
Just as Xia Yuhui was feeling frustrated about this, Xia Liangqing walked over and respectfully handed over a storage bag.
"Uncle, this is the thief's storage bag."
Although he fought alone to seize this storage bag, he only managed to kill it thanks to Xia Yuhui's crimson lightning.
Without this lightning, let alone killing this Foundation Establishment cultivator, even if he used all his skills, he would have difficulty breaking through the demonic cultivator's rock-solid defense.
Therefore, he was willing to hand over the storage bag, and he also longed to receive the protection of a crimson lightning bolt. Having just experienced it once, he was already fond of the feeling.
Xia Yuhui seemed to have perfect insight and keen observation. With a gentle wave of his hand, another crimson lightning bolt, even more powerful than the last one, slithered into Xia Liangqing's body like a serpent.
After the crimson lightning entered his body, Xia Liangqing felt completely refreshed, as if bathed in a spring breeze. Even the injuries he had just suffered began to slowly heal, as if peeling away layers of cocoon.
Xia Yuhui's crimson lightning was like a hidden treasure, concealed within his body. Not only was it harmless, but it also brought many benefits. It could protect cultivators and gradually increase the strength of their physical bodies.
Because of its miraculous effects, Xia Yuhui bestowed it upon almost every exceptionally talented cultivator in the Xia family.
"Thank you so much, Uncle!" Xia Liangqing was overjoyed, his face beaming with joy.
This crimson lightning was his most relied-upon means of survival; if he lost it, he would be extremely anxious and restless.
After doing all this, Xia Yuhui did not take the storage bag, but said to Xia Liangqing in a kind tone, "This storage bag is something you obtained through your own bloody battle, so it is your well-deserved spoils of war. You should accept it."
He already knew exactly what was inside the storage bag, but for him now, it was insignificant and dispensable. However, handing it over to Xia Liangqing might help him reach a higher level and raise his potential.
Upon hearing this, Xia Liangqing hesitated for a moment before accepting the storage bag.
After that, Xia Yuhui's gaze shot towards Qingfeng like a hawk, and he said in a deep voice: "You were lucky this time. This merit can be recorded in the assessment, but you must complete the task I have given you. Go quickly."
As if hearing celestial music, the gentle breeze flew joyfully into the sky and disappeared into the horizon in an instant.
After Qingfeng left, only Xia Liangqing and Xia Yuhui remained on the battlefield. "I'll leave the aftermath to you. I have other important matters to attend to."
At this moment, Xia Yuhui's refining furnace still contained many materials, and he had to rush over there without stopping.
"Respectfully seeing off my uncle."
Xia Yuhui nodded in acknowledgment, and with a light wave of his palm, the remaining flesh and blood of the demonic cultivator instantly turned into dust, scattering into the void.
Xia Yuhui instantly transformed into a cloud of black mist and sped towards Lingfeng Mountain like lightning.
Seeing that Xia Yuhui had left, Xia Liangqing finally sat down with a sigh of relief. After a thrilling life-or-death battle, he was completely exhausted, both in terms of his magical power and mental strength. Standing there, he felt utterly drained.
However, he was truly fond of this feeling; this was what a cultivator should be like.
As he sat down to rest, the remaining Soul-Devouring Bees around him flew slowly into his Beast Taming Bag like swallows returning to their nests.
These Soul-Devouring Bees were originally a group of demonic bees with diluted bloodlines, not worthy of being considered refined or true demonic beasts. However, by chance, Xia Liangqing encountered these poisonous bees and subdued them.
After years of careful feeding, they have now all entered the ranks of demon beasts, and more than ten of them have reached the level of mid-grade first-tier demon beasts, with their beaks and tail stingers containing toxins.
However, its effect is already obvious. In the fierce battle with that Foundation Establishment demon cultivator, the demon cultivator paid no attention to these demon bees. As soon as they broke through the protective shield, they were incinerated on the spot by a faint flame.
Xia Liangqing was extremely annoyed by this. He had just left the mountain and had run into a Foundation Establishment cultivator like a headless fly. All the methods he had painstakingly accumulated over the years had become as useless as waste paper.
However, after a moment's thought, he understood. The world of cultivation was just like that, full of endless surprises.
Today, an ant encounters a senior; tomorrow, a senior will meet an ant. How can this world only see idealized scenes of seniors versus seniors, and ants fighting each other?
Unfortunately, no matter how you calculate it, he, with only the sixth level of Qi Refining cultivation, is nothing more than an insignificant ant, at most an ant with a senior backing him up.
……
Five months later, a message pierced Xia Yuhui's tranquil cultivation like a sharp sword.
It turns out that the Hei family of the Tianyao Alliance finally couldn't hold back any longer and took action.
Because the various factions within the alliance are intricately intertwined, like a tangled mess, and their hearts are divided, making them seem like a mob, the Hei family decided to convene a meeting to resolve some of the complicated and trivial matters within the Tianyao Alliance.
As the most prominent family in Jinling County, the Xia family was naturally among those invited.
