Chapter 237 The Spiritual Leader of the Xia Family
"However, it's hard to say what will happen in the future. Just like the Guiyun Sect back then, it was supported by various forces in the ancient kingdom when it was first established, but what happened to it later?"
"This is what is called the rise and fall. If this Golden Core power cannot continue to develop and grow after a thousand years, then internal problems will inevitably arise, such as decay, complacency, and lack of ambition."
"Don't worry, our Xia family will never encounter such a situation," Xia Yuhua chuckled, seemingly confident.
"That's not necessarily true."
"No, I believe in you. As long as you are here, the Xia family will be like an indestructible fortress, never to decay. Because if a power has a spiritual leader, it will be like a pillar of strength, standing firm forever."
Xia Yuhui's cave is like a paradise, tranquil and mysterious.
Xia Liangqing continued to practice his sword with undivided enthusiasm. Time flew by, and more than a year passed. At this moment, his swordsmanship had reached its peak, and his cultivation level had also soared like a rocket to the sixth level of Qi Refining, just one step away from the late stage of Qi Refining.
As for Wang Liangxing, who had always lived in Xia Yuhui's cave, he had already spread his wings and soared away like a bird to carry out missions after successfully breaking through to the late stage of Qi Refining.
Furthermore, because the Xia family had been carefully selecting candidates for the Ten Sons over the past few years, Wang Liangxing did not hesitate to choose several highly dangerous missions, just to earn more contribution points.
Meanwhile, the other cultivators of the Xia family were also racing against time, like a pack of hungry wolves, desperately cultivating and improving their strength, working day and night without daring to slack off in the slightest.
The Xia family's leaders were overjoyed at the sight, believing that such a family, striving for excellence, would surely live on forever.
"Uncle, you're back." Xia Liangqing saw Xia Yuhui return, beamed with joy, and quickly ran over to greet him.
"Your swordsmanship is so exquisite, has your talisman-drawing skill improved? Can you draw a mid-grade first-level talisman now?"
"Yes, Uncle. I can draw seven kinds of first-grade mid-level talismans, and I have also mastered one kind of first-grade high-level talisman. However, the success rate is still low. I have only successfully drawn one myself."
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhui was overjoyed, and a bright smile bloomed on his face. "It seems you have not disappointed your father's expectations. Very well, this pill will be given to you."
Xia Yuhui took out an exquisite jade bottle from his storage bag and handed it to Xia Liangqing.
Xia Liangqing didn't even glance at the contents before eagerly taking it. "Thank you for your generous gift, Uncle. I will work even harder in the future and will never let you down."
"Well, you've now reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. Go home in a few days. Besides resting a bit, visit your dozen or so older brothers and sisters."
"Thank you, uncle."
Just as the two were talking, Xia Yuhui suddenly waved his arm lightly, and the array outside the door disappeared like smoke, and a woman dressed in white walked in gracefully.
Her appearance was beautiful and delicate, like a lotus emerging from the water, yet she possessed a cool and aloof air, like a plum blossom braving the snow.
"Clan leader!"
The newcomer was Xia Liangxin, the only cultivator in the Xia family with two spiritual roots. At this moment, she had long since shed her former naiveté, and her face gradually revealed a mature charm. Her cultivation had reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, and she was already capable of standing on her own.
"Hmm, not bad, quite imposing. I imagine a lot must have happened to you over the years." Xia Yuhui had already sensed the murderous aura emanating from the old clan elder's granddaughter. He smiled faintly.
Lately, he has increasingly felt that the Xia family has successors. Whether it is Xia Lianghe, Xia Liangchun, Xia Liangmu, or Xia Liangxin and Xia Liangqing in front of him, they are all exceptionally talented and resolute individuals.
Xia Yuhui also realized a truth from this: more children mean better outcomes, fewer children mean worse outcomes.
However, she could only stay serious for a short while before she couldn't hold on any longer. Like a cheerful little bird, she flew over with a smile, grabbed Xia Yuhui's arm tightly, and said coquettishly, "Fifth Uncle, look how hard I've worked, shouldn't you reward me with some treasures? Over the years, I've suffered a lot from not having any treasures while I've been out in the world."
Xia Yuhui sighed. Sure enough, he knew this girl wouldn't change so much.
"Hey, aren't you a talisman maker? Just draw a few more talismans, and you'll have a solution."
"Ha! Fifth Uncle, you make it sound so easy. A common method like talismans would definitely be guarded against. How could it be as unexpected as what you've given me? The little ghost you gave me last time is already dead. Can you give me another one?" Xia Liangxin said coquettishly.
She had secretly made up her mind today to seize some rare treasures from Xia Yuhui.
Since she went to the State of Chu, her life has undergone a dramatic transformation, like the changing of the sea. You must understand, the State of Chu is their territory. Let alone being arrogant and domineering, even if you are just strolling leisurely on the street, if someone doesn't like you, you may bring about your death.
Therefore, at only twenty-something years old, she has already experienced several life-or-death ordeals, and even nearly lost her life in the State of Chu once.
She gradually realized the importance of having some means of secrecy. So, she began to draw talismans with fervor, and today, she has become a first-class superior talisman-drawing master, and a senior master with profound experience.
Since then, she has been drawing talismans while collecting various magical artifacts. To this day, she possesses as many as seven high-grade magical artifacts, and one top-grade magical artifact, which she obtained from her family.
However, this was far from enough, far from enough! Only after leaving Jinling County did she realize that her insignificant talent was nothing compared to that of others.
What kind of spirit? What kind of strange spiritual root? She had personally witnessed three of them in the Chu Kingdom, and one of them had already died tragically at the hands of a Foundation Establishment cultivator with four spiritual roots.
"Alright, alright, here you go." Xia Yuhui had no choice but to take out a jade scroll from his storage bag.
Xia Liangxin accepted the tattered jade slip, which looked as worn as a candle in its twilight years, with a face full of disdain.
"This piece of junk? Fifth Uncle, you're not just trying to fool me, are you?" With that, he eagerly opened it and began to read.
Xia Liangqing, who was standing aside watching silently, revealed an expression of envy, because what Xia Yuhui had given him was the famous Flowing Light Sword Technique.
Over the years, he has also acquired many rare treasures and magical secrets from Xia Yuhui, and even managed to obtain several evil spirits.
However, he was never able to obtain the Flowing Light Sword Technique as he wished. It was not that Xia Yuhui was stingy and refused to give it to him, but rather that this sword technique could only be practiced after one had reached the late stage of Qi Refining.
After Xia Liangxin read it quietly for a while, his face changed from sorrow to joy, like spring flowers blooming, and he kept saying words of gratitude like a machine gun.
She couldn't help but feel a pang of regret, regretting that she hadn't come to Xia Yuhui's place sooner to search for treasures.
"Alright, practice diligently. You will need to pass this method on to Yuqing in the future."
"Alright, I will definitely teach you everything I know." Xia Liangxin looked at Xia Liangqing with a beaming smile, as if he had seen a rare treasure.
