Chapter 168 Xia Guangyao's Foundation Establishment
He had just been dispatched to the mine for support, and after dealing with those ghosts, he rushed over immediately.
Xia Guangyang had already noticed Yang Taikong's arrival. He immediately stood up and gave up his seat. "Elder Yang, quickly extract the ghost energy from his body. Don't worry about the energy that has invaded his internal organs."
Yang Kongtai had many questions at this moment, but he didn't rush to ask them. Instead, he immediately activated his Foundation Establishment stage magic power to repel the ghost energy for Xia Qiu.
After taking action, Yang Kongtai was shocked. Was it really necessary to go to such lengths to save a mere mortal?
At this time, Xia Qiu already had four or five precious pills in his body. However, because Xia Qiu was a mortal, his body could not withstand the power of the medicine. So the Xia family used their magic to absorb the medicine little by little into the mortal's body, helping him to expel the ghost energy.
However, Yang Kongtian knew that this mortal was beyond saving. All the internal organs of the mortal had been corrupted by the Ghost Cry, and unless a Golden Core cultivator came, there was no cure.
And all they are doing now is delay the death of these mortals.
Two full hours later, some members of the Xia family finally came down from Fengling Mountain and immediately began to help the villagers after arriving at Xiliu Village.
Looking at the ruins, Xia Guangyao felt as if a huge boulder had fallen on his heart.
Since Xia Yuhui established his foundation, the Xia family has never suffered such a heavy blow!
Xiliu Village was the second mortal village of the Xia family, with more than 20,000 mortals living there. However, now, more than 10,000 people have lost their lives. What's worse, the souls of these villagers have all been cruelly extracted by that Ghost Taoist.
Clearly, in the future, the Spirit Ghost Taoist will have more new evil spirits in his hands, and there may even be a second-tier evil spirit.
These evil spirits were all created by sacrificing the souls of ordinary members of the Xia family. Thinking of this, an endless hatred surged within him, like a raging torrent.
A moment later, Xia Yuhua flew slowly from afar, like a light cloud.
Everyone rushed forward to greet her. Xia Yuhua, whose eyes were vacant, barely glanced at everyone before walking towards Xia Qiu.
Yang Kongtai, who had just finished treating Xia Qiu, tensed up when he saw Xia Yuhua, who was exuding a fierce aura, walking towards him. He immediately stood up and bowed, "Greetings, Acting Clan Leader!"
In just a few hours, he had learned the man's identity: he was Xia Yuhui's younger brother.
At that moment, Xia Yuhui's ambiguous smiling face flashed into his mind, and he was immediately filled with dread and chills.
Given Xia Yuhui's personality, if he were to return and find his younger brother gone, he would likely turn the entire Jinling County upside down.
Xia Yuhua ignored him, placed her hand directly on Xia Qiu's vein, examined it for a while, then gently withdrew her hand, letting out a deep sigh.
“Leave some people here to rebuild Xiliu Village. I will arrange for someone to bring back some servants in a few days. The rest of you shall return to Fengling Mountain immediately.”
After saying this, he used his magic to lift Xia Qiu up and prepared to leave.
At that moment, a dozen mortals suddenly knelt down as if struck by lightning. Xia Yun, who was in the lead, spoke in a trembling voice: "Clan Immortal, is there any hope for my father?"
Hearing this, Xia Yuhua felt as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer. He suppressed his grief, adjusted his words, and said slowly, "Don't worry, I will do my best! You can stay here and focus on rebuilding Xiliu Village. Leave everything else to the family."
After saying this, he led Xia Qiu onto a flying magical vessel as stable as Mount Tai, and they slowly ascended into the air.
Upon hearing this reply, Xia Yun and the others burst into tears. Xia Qiu's lineage, which originally numbered over fifty, now had only a dozen or so members remaining, most of whom had escaped the calamity by chance while hunting.
The five or six children who survived, because Xia Qiu was cautious by nature, dug several cellars in his house and hid them in them when the ghostly Taoist attacked.
These children hidden in the cellar must have been discovered by Linggui Daoren, a Foundation Establishment cultivator. However, due to the short time and Xia Yuhua's timely arrival, there was no opportunity to harm these children.
As for the other adults, they scattered and fled under Xia Qiu's orders, but unfortunately, none of them survived.
After returning to Lingfeng Mountain, Xia Yuhua took out several spiritual herbs from the Xia family's treasure vault and gave them to Xia Qiu like diluted nectar, which barely kept him alive.
"Yu Hui, brother, I'm so sorry. Now, this is the only way I can let him see you one last time."
After settling Xia Qiu in, Xia Yuhua walked heavily into the family meeting hall. At this time, only Xia Guangchang sat alone in a chair, looking as lonely as a lone boat, with a face full of sorrow.
"Elder, is there anything unusual about Uncle Yao?"
“Sigh, things are still the same over there, but I feel that this time it will most likely succeed. When he went into seclusion to break through, he said that he was 60% confident.” Xia Guangchang quickly stood up and explained when he saw Xia Yuhua arrive.
Upon hearing Xia Guangchang's words, Xia Yuhua's expression improved slightly. "Alas, Uncle Yao is truly resourceful, managing to devise a way to snatch food from the Cai family's jaws."
"Hehe, he's always been like this since he was a child. He's always been the one among the Guang generation who's best at seizing opportunities. We used to say he was just being clever, but now, haha."
"Life is like a play, and opportunities are hard to come by. Often, there are only one or two opportunities in a lifetime. What we need to do is to prepare carefully before they arrive, and when the time is right, seize them firmly!"
"It's a pity that despite my painstaking preparations over the years, I have yet to see the light of day. Perhaps this is just the way life is," Xia Guangchang said with a look of envy.
He is now over seventy years old, and even if he really had a Foundation Establishment Pill, it would be a waste of resources.
Xia Yuhua could only shake her head helplessly. Xia Guangchang, Xia Guangyang, and other older members of the family missed the family's golden period of development. Now, after struggling to survive, they are already old and frail.
It really proves the saying that everyone's fate is different. These few people devoted their lives to the Xia family, but in the end, they gained nothing.
"Don't overthink it. Even if I can't enjoy these benefits, the family will never forget my descendants. This is the difference between a family and a sect. Although a family has fewer members, its unity is far beyond what a sect can match," Xia Guangchang said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Elder, with us here, the Xia family will surely flourish, and your great achievements will surely benefit your descendants," Xia Yuhua replied with a resolute expression.
"Hehe, I know your character well, and I believe that you, the Yu generation, will not let us down..."
The cave dwelling behind the Xia family's mountain, where Xia Yuhui broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Xia Guangyao sat upright on an old futon, closing his eyes to rest, while various jade slips and recording stones were scattered around him in a disorderly manner.
After a moment, his face turned as red as a ripe apple, and his aura underwent a dramatic change like surging waves. Xia Guangyao knew that the time had come, and immediately swallowed the Foundation Establishment Pill.
After the Foundation Establishment Pill entered the stomach, it was as if it had transformed into a pure, sweet rain, which then slowly gathered in the dantian...
