Chapter 216 Testing the Akagi Family!
As they ventured deeper, the two entered the cave and encountered four members of the Xia family's spiritual plant cultivation group, led by Xia Guanghan.
"Clan Chief! Fourth Elder!"
The four of them immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing Xia Yuhui and his companion.
Xia Yuhui looked around at the various spiritual plants with their thick branches and lush foliage, which resembled a green ocean, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Excellent, very well done!"
After saying that, he tossed out a storage bag.
"This contains not only your future cultivation resources, but also a generous amount of spirit stones. You can divide these spirit stones equally as a reward from me."
"Thank you, patriarch!"
The four were overjoyed. With this resource, their own cultivation speed, as well as the cultivation speed of their juniors, would definitely increase significantly.
After encouraging the four, Xia Yuhui turned around and looked intently at Xia Yuhua behind him, only to find that Xia Yuhua had already pounced on the spirit field like a hungry tiger, and had begun digging the ground with great enthusiasm.
Xia Yuhua then realized that he had forgotten about Xia Yuhui. He muttered to himself and said indignantly, "Well, you fifth brother, you've been hiding it really well. You actually have such an earth-shattering opportunity. No wonder you've cultivated so quickly. Today I'm going to try and get a piece of your amazing luck."
Xia Yuhui watched this scene with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
Before long, Xia Yuhua dug a large pit in the hard, iron-like ground. After confirming that the depth was just right, he carefully threw a seed brimming with spiritual energy into the pit.
Ever since Xia Yuhui told him about this treasure land, he has been making preparations without stopping. Coincidentally, he happens to have a second-tier seed with Yin attribute.
He has a great love for spiritual tea, so he has carefully collected a superior Yin-attribute spiritual tea seed over the years. Unfortunately, he has not been able to find suitable land to plant it, so it has been kept unused for many years.
However, Xia Yuhui told him about a deadly, yin-dead land, and he was overjoyed, taking it with him.
Before long, he had properly buried the seeds, and then hurriedly went to fetch some spring water, carefully watering the seeds.
Then, he tossed Xia Guanghan a storage bag.
"Uncle Han, you can't just focus on taking care of Lao Wu's spiritual plants. You have to put in a lot of effort for mine too. They're my precious treasures."
Over the years, because he didn't have any second-tier spirit tea trees, he could only mooch off Xia Yuhui's spirit tea, which made him extremely frustrated.
Xia Yuhui ignored him and jumped directly into the deep pool. After a while, he came out with a full harvest.
Then he threw two bottles of Yin Water at Xia Yuhua.
"Alright, let's go. If this place becomes dangerous while I'm away, I'll leave it to you."
After saying that, he took the lead and headed towards the cave entrance.
Xia Yuhua was reluctant to follow, and he regretted not bringing more seeds.
There's still plenty of space here for planting.
After the two arrived at the door, Xia Yuhui released a puppet beast. This puppet beast was one he had recently crafted. It was specially made by him and could attack enemies on its own without the master's prompting.
After doing all this, he ordered the puppet beast to hide in the area.
After that, the two rode Lion Rock Roar and sped towards the Akagi family.
Before long, the two people and the beast arrived at the vicinity of the Akagi family's residence like a whirlwind. At this time, they had successfully met up with Xia Liang, who was guarding the area.
"Clan leader, Fourth Elder, the Akagi family has been completely silent for the past few months. Because I have no means to investigate their internal affairs, I do not know what is going on inside," Xia Lianghe hurriedly reported to the two.
Now, he was filled with worry, fearing that the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Akagi family inside would flee like birds, leaving only an empty shell behind.
It should be known that the methods of cultivators are as numerous and unpredictable as the stars in the sky. Although the Xia family has sealed off this place, the Chi Mu family has been passed down for a hundred years, and it is possible that they possess some unique methods.
“Then let’s go check out the situation inside now,” Xia Yuhui replied with a smile.
After saying that, he soared into the sky on his sword like a bird, and in the blink of an eye, he had reached a distance of a thousand feet.
Seeing this, the two followed suit quickly.
When the two arrived at Xia Yuhui's side, Qingfeng Mingyue appeared beside him like a ghost.
"Let's see if there are any traces of Foundation Establishment cultivators here?"
"Yes, master."
Qingfeng and Mingyue immediately obeyed the order to investigate.
Ghosts possess ghost eyes, which are different from the physical eyes of cultivators. They can perceive unusual things and discover clues that cultivators cannot understand.
Suddenly, Qingfeng and Mingyue's two ghostly eyes burst forth with a dazzling, eerie light.
If another ghost were present at this moment, it would surely witness the intense, eerie light shooting from the eyes of both ghosts, like sharp arrows shooting straight downwards.
The second-tier defensive array of the Akagi family was pierced by the eerie light in an instant. However, just as the two ghosts were about to see what was inside...
However, they were blocked by a strange stone wall. This earthen wall was like an impregnable fortress, and no matter how the man and the ghost changed their angle, it was like an ant trying to shake a tree, and they could not penetrate it at all.
Seeing this, the two ghosts had no choice but to give up. "Master, there is an earthen wall below that covers half of the sacred mountain. We really have no way of knowing what is inside."
Xia Yuhui was not surprised by this answer. Everyone knew that he possessed a spirit ghost, and the Akagi family was certainly aware of the spirit ghost's characteristics, so they must have taken precautions.
After a moment's thought, he gave the order to Qingfeng, "Take a Hundred Ghosts Banner and go attack. Mingyue will cover for you."
"Master, just wait and see what Qingfeng has to offer."
After saying this, Qingfeng was instantly shrouded in darkness, transforming from a handsome and elegant young man into a hideous and terrifying demon, whose body was as large as a colossal creature, standing five zhang tall.
Immediately afterwards, he reached into his stomach like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, and instantly grabbed the Hundred Demon Banner inside.
Upon sensing that they had seen the light of day again, the tens of thousands of evil spirits within the Hundred Ghosts Banner immediately began to wail as if they had lost their parents.
The crying was like a demonic sound, extremely piercing, and traveled for hundreds of miles.
The Akagi family naturally heard this as well, and hundreds of Akagi family cultivators poured out of Mount Ling like a tide, relentlessly pursuing their target.
And their target did not disappoint them. In an instant, the sky was covered by tens of thousands of evil spirits, like a dark cloud, and not a single ray of light could be seen. Moreover, the entire sacred mountain was drowned out by the sound of ghosts wailing and howling, which made people feel depressed and restless.
"Attack them hard!"
The Akagi family below showed no fear and instead decisively ordered an attack. Everyone in Jinling County knew that Xia Yuhui possessed a spirit ghost.
How could they not know that the visitor was Xia Yuhui?
The Akagi family immediately activated the great formation, launching an attack on the tens of thousands of evil spirits in the sky like a storm. The Akagi family's formation was a second-tier top-grade great formation called the Ice-Sealing Spirit-Severing Formation.
Its greatest advantage is that it can refine the water attribute in spiritual energy and make it its own. In this way, the great formation will not have to worry about lacking spirit stones.
As for its other effects, the Xia family had no idea. After all, the Akagi family was an outsider from hundreds of years ago, and the Xia family had never attacked the Akagi family's doorstep, so they naturally knew nothing about this great formation.
