Chapter 114 Foundation Establishment Ceremony!
Meanwhile, Xia Liangxin remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic, as she faced six mid-grade evil spirits. As the six evil spirits charged forward, she immediately activated her longbow and swiftly fired three water arrows.
The water arrows were incredibly powerful, instantly defeating the two evil spirits upon first contact.
However, the demon was also extremely fast, and in just a few breaths it had rushed up to her.
Xia Liangxin immediately panicked and had no choice but to abandon his bow and arrows, unleashing a water spike technique to attack several evil spirits in front of him. He then used a water mirror technique to defend against several evil spirits on the other side.
Then, just as she was about to take out a few talismans from her storage bag to kill the evil spirits in front of her, two ghostly hands suddenly emerged from the soil below and grabbed her feet firmly.
"Ah!" Xia Liangxin was instantly panicked. Her Water Mirror Techniques on both sides failed instantly. Just as the evil spirits were about to take her life, several sharp bolts of lightning suddenly descended, directly annihilating the evil spirits.
Seeing that all the evil spirits on his left and right had been defeated, Xia Liangxin finally breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down, still panting heavily, clearly deeply shaken.
Xia Yuhui shook his head slightly at this, and a few words suddenly came to mind: greenhouse flower.
In fact, he was quite satisfied with Xia Liangxin's performance in the battle, but he was extremely dissatisfied with his weak character.
With such a personality, how can he possibly stand on his own in the future? Other members of the Xia family may be able to live a peaceful life under the protection of the family, but Xia Liangxin cannot. Just as he could not do so back then.
Both of them were the most talented among the Yu and Liang generations, so neither of them could be so timid.
After Xia Liangxin adjusted herself and stood up, she saw Xia Yuhui's disappointed expression. She immediately lowered her head in frustration, but after a moment, she cheered up again.
"I'm sorry, Fifth Uncle, I've disappointed you."
Xia Yuhui also felt that he had been a bit too strict. After all, she was only a teenager. If it were on his previous planet, she would still be considered a child at that age.
So he immediately said in a deep voice, "Liangxin, don't be discouraged. Everyone has their shortcomings, and even I am not exempt. What cultivators seek is to get rid of these shortcomings, but this is not something that can be accomplished overnight. You must not be impatient. You just need to keep working hard."
"Yes, Liangxin understands!"
After speaking, the two looked at Mingyue and Wang Liangxing. At this moment, Wang Liangxing in Mingyue's hands was no longer flustered, but rhythmically waving his hands and striking the void.
Seeing this, Xia Yuhui felt slightly relieved and nodded to the bright moon. Wang Liangxing's eyes immediately regained their clarity.
As soon as he landed, Wang Liangxing looked around to make sure he was safe, then collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
Seeing Xia Yuhui's smiling face, Xia Liangxin instantly recalled what Xia Yuhui had just said: "Never underestimate him, or his future achievements may not be inferior to yours!"
Only then did she truly stop underestimating this child from the countryside.
Xia Yuhui smiled slightly and directly channeled a stream of magical power into him.
Nourished by this magical power, Wang Liangxing quickly regained his energy.
"Thank you, master!"
"Haha, very good, very good. Your performance today is very much to my liking. This storage bag is yours." After saying that, Xia Yuhui took out a storage bag and handed it to Wang Liangxing.
Wang Liangxing took it with both hands and immediately began to caress it with delight. After caressing it for more than ten breaths, he tied it around his waist.
Upon seeing this, Xia Liangxin immediately turned his head away disdainfully, "He really is a country bumpkin."
Admittedly, a woman of such high status as her, who possesses everything, would never care about a mere storage bag.
"Alright, Liangxin, you stay here and carefully guide Liangxing's cultivation. I'll go out for a bit." With that, Xia Yuhui reached out and summoned Qingfeng and Mingyue directly into his hand.
Seeing this, Xia Liangxin immediately interrupted, "Fifth Uncle, you haven't let my spirit ghost play with it yet. Besides, Gou Dan got a gift, why didn't I?"
"As long as Uncle Wu gives me some spirits to familiarize myself with, I will definitely be able to defeat them next time."
Xia Yuhui pondered for a moment, then turned his head helplessly and said, "Fine, fine, here you go." As soon as he finished speaking, a little ghost suddenly floated from Xia Yuhui's sleeve to Xia Liangxin's side.
"This is a brat, its mouth filled with poison, and it is incredibly fast. I seized it from a ghost cultivator. I bestow it upon you today. If you encounter danger in the future, use it to launch a sneak attack. Otherwise, never expose it. Do you understand?"
“Very good, thank you, Fifth Uncle. Don’t worry, I will definitely not expose it. Quickly give me this ugly brat.”
Xia Yuhui shook his head helplessly and passed on the method of controlling the little ghost to Xia Liangxin.
After learning the method of control, Xia Liangxin immediately sat down on the ground and began to comprehend it.
Seeing this, Xia Yuhui remained silent for a moment. After giving Wang Liangxing a few instructions, he left the cave.
Upon reaching the entrance, Xia Yuhui went straight to the family council hall to find the eldest elder, Xia Guangchang.
Inside the family council hall, Xia Guangchang and Xia Guangyang were discussing important matters.
"Guangyang, how is the situation? Are the supplies ready?"
"Don't worry, brother, everything is ready, and the battle arena has been set up with formations, just waiting for the Foundation Establishment Ceremony to begin."
“Yes, very good. For many years, my Xia family has not allowed the younger generation to compete. In recent years, due to the decline of the Xia family, the Yu generation has not even held such a ceremony. This time, we must make up for it.”
“But brother, isn’t that reward too high? You know, in the past, our Xia family has never offered such generous rewards for such competitions.”
"Hmm, these spirit stones and pills are just sitting idle in the family treasury. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could use them to enhance the combat power of the younger generation of the family?"
"Fine." Xia Guangyang finally agreed reluctantly, though he was still reluctant in his heart. It should be noted that, not to mention the top ten in the competition, the rewards for the top three were extraordinary. The first place winner would receive three hundred spirit stones and a Breakthrough Pill, the second place winner would receive two hundred spirit stones and a mid-grade defensive magic weapon, and the third place winner would receive one hundred and eighty spirit stones, plus a mid-grade offensive magic weapon.
Such a generous reward could only be compared to that of the Xia family a hundred years ago.
Just as the two were discussing, Xia Yuhui pushed open the door and entered.
"The clan leader is back."
"Clan leader!"
Xia Yuhui strode forward and helped the man back to his seat. "Elders, what is the matter you are discussing?"
"Oh, we're discussing the Foundation Establishment Conference a month from now." The two then recounted the contents of their discussion.
“Excellent. This will not only unite the family’s strength but also enhance the cultivation of its members, giving the family’s cultivators more motivation to cultivate.”
"I suppose my thinking is too outdated. From now on, I can only do things that don't require much thought. I'll leave the things that require thinking to my elder brother and Yu Hui." Xia Guangyang sighed upon hearing Xia Yu Hui's words.
"Ha ha!"
Everyone immediately burst into laughter.
After laughing, Xia Yuhui's expression turned serious. "Indeed, my Xia family cannot be so conservative. I believe that the mortals of those families down the mountain should be encouraged to have more children, so that the number of cultivators can increase. Elder, have you brought the mortals from the Yang family here?"
“They have already been brought here. I have built a village specifically for them, intending to have this village specialize in mining.”
[Thank you for the insults, readers. They were well said. I will definitely reflect on my actions. Thank you all for your support. I wish you happiness every day; happiness is the most important thing!]
