Chapter 106 Heading to Wanbao County
Xia Yufeng explained the whole story to Xia Yuhui. This trade fair was organized by the local forces in Wanbao County. Whether they were sect cultivators, family cultivators, or independent cultivators, they could all participate, with the aim of preparing for the upcoming decisive battle.
“In that case, I might as well go and take a look.”
"Fifth Brother, if you intend to go, you need to make preparations as soon as possible. Time waits for no one, and there are only a few months left before the event."
"Okay, I'll go back and prepare now."
After speaking, Xia Yuhui took out two high-grade magic weapons from his storage bag and handed them to the two men.
"This was specially made for the two of you. Now that you have both reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining, you should cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible. Perhaps in the future I can find a Foundation Establishment opportunity for you."
These two high-grade magic weapons were specially crafted by Xia Yuhui for these two people. The quality of both magic weapons has reached the limit of high-grade. If we only consider their attack power, they are not much worse than top-grade magic weapons.
Upon hearing this, the two were overjoyed.
"Then we'll have to rely on Fifth Brother."
"Thank you, Fifth Brother."
"Okay, go and cultivate diligently. I'll go back and make preparations now."
After speaking, Xia Yuhui vanished in a flash.
After returning to his cave, Xia Yuhui tidied up the items inside, then went to the family treasury to retrieve a few items. Finally, he took 20,000 spirit stones from the family treasury.
Now, as the head of the Xia family, he naturally has the right to use the money. At this moment, there are only seven thousand spirit stones left in the family's accounts, which are used for expenses. It can be said that the family's harvest in recent years has been completely exhausted.
This is the benefit of being a cultivator in a family. However, since the 20,000 spirit stones have already been used, they will naturally have to be returned gradually in the future. However, Xia Yuhui still has more than 10,000 contribution points, so he doesn't need to return them all.
After a moment's thought, Xia Yuhui decided to leave with only Mingyue, leaving Qingfeng to guard the family. Before Qingfeng left, he gave him some special instructions…
Finally, Xia Yuhui found Xia Guangchang and told him that he would be going to the trade fair, and also told him in detail about Qingfeng's situation in the family.
After finishing some trivial matters, Xia Yuhui immediately set off. He did not go directly to Wanbao County, but instead went to the Dead Yin Abyss again.
Upon arriving at the Dead Shadow Territory, Xia Yuhui cautiously observed his surroundings and only entered after confirming it was safe.
Upon entering the forbidden zone, Xia Yuhui noticed that the Yin energy here was even denser than before. When he arrived in front of the second-tier spirit tree, he indeed found that the Ancient Nether Tree had expanded further.
Unfortunately, there were no results, as he hadn't been there long before. He sighed inwardly, thinking to himself, "This place is such a treasure; this time I must find more second-tier spiritual plants to plant here."
After thinking it over, he gently stroked the tree, then jumped into the deep pool below and took another sip of Yin water.
After arriving on land, they set up some more measures there.
He then left the area and took out a flying boat from his storage bag.
This flying boat is not the same one as before, but a first-grade high-quality flying magic weapon that was refined a few days ago. Its speed is almost twice as fast as the previous one.
Xia Yuhui was very satisfied with this. After leaping onto the flying boat, he quickly sped off towards Wanbao County.
Actually, the timing of this trade fair wasn't tight, but arriving early was always beneficial, since he was unfamiliar with the area and even after arriving in Wanbao County, he would still need to inquire about the location of the trade fair.
Now, Xia Yuhui's speed has increased several times over, and he arrived in Wanbao County in just half a month.
If he were still a Qi Refining cultivator, he would have been attacked several times. But now that he has reached the Foundation Establishment stage, those evil cultivators and demonic cultivators would immediately flee upon sensing the change in his aura, lest Xia Yuhui kill him and seize his treasures.
After arriving in Wanbao County, Xia Yuhui did not reveal his identity. He would definitely have to expose his identity when the trade fair started, otherwise how would he make friends with other cultivators?
However, there is no need for that now. If word gets out about his affairs in Wanbao County, the Xia family will likely be in danger.
Xia Yuhui walked through the market, glancing around at the people coming and going, trying to find out their backgrounds.
This market is indeed bustling with activity. After walking for about half an hour, they encountered more than a dozen late-stage Qi Refining cultivators. All of them concealed their cultivation levels, but none of them could escape Xia Yuhui's divine sense.
It must be this Foundation Establishment Trade Fair that has attracted these people. I'm afraid they've already held some small trade fairs in the market in the past few days.
Thinking of this, Xia Yuhui walked towards the two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.
“Fellow Daoists, I am a rogue cultivator who has just arrived at this market. I do not know any other cultivators here. Could you please do me a favor and lead me to the trade fair?”
After speaking, Xia Yuhui unleashed the aura of a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator.
Sensing his cultivation level, the two cultivators' previously impatient expressions immediately turned amiable.
“Alright, alright, fellow Daoist. My name is Duan Youde, and this is my brother, Duan Chunyun. We are both rogue cultivators. May I ask how you should address me?”
Both of them were at the seventh level of Qi Refining. Xia Yuhui started a conversation with them for the sake of the moment, and immediately replied, "My name is Ye Han, a rogue cultivator from Jinling County. Thank you for your help, fellow Daoists."
"So it's Fellow Daoist Ye in person. There's a trade fair today, which was organized by the Wang family. My brother and I were just about to go, so Fellow Daoist Ye, please come along."
After saying that, the three of them arrived at a secluded courtyard. At this moment, the courtyard was already bustling with people, indicating that the trade fair had already begun.
Upon arriving at his destination, Xia Yuhui took out thirty spirit stones from his storage bag, handed them to the two men in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you both. I will take my leave now."
After speaking, Xia Yuhui turned and left the two, strolling leisurely alone. After leaving, the corners of Xia Yuhui's mouth slightly turned up. With his cultivation level, he had already seen through the true nature of these two. These two were not rogue cultivators, but demonic cultivators who practiced evil demonic arts.
However, he would not do anything foolish like exorcising demons and protecting the righteous path. As long as it did not harm the interests of the Xia family, he would not interfere.
Looking around, Xia Yuhui saw that the stalls were filled with all kinds of goods. He began to stroll slowly. Although this place was only set up for Qi Refining cultivators, the quality of the goods was quite good, and some items even caught his eye.
After a short stroll, Xia Yuhui spotted a soul crystal. His face was ashen as he approached the stall and asked slowly, "Fellow Daoist, how much is this stone for?"
The stall owner smiled slightly at Xia Yuhui and replied, "Fellow Daoist, this is a Soul Crystal. This piece is worth eight hundred spirit stones, which is already the best price. I won't sell it for even one less spirit stone."
Xia Yuhui stopped negotiating and took out the spirit stones directly.
He had already passed on the art of puppetry to his family, but because the art was extremely difficult to master, only a handful of people in the family had learned it. Moreover, apart from him, only Xia Guangyao was capable of crafting high-level puppets.
After handing over the spirit stone, Xia Yuhui accepted the soul crystal.
Just as Xia Yuhui received the Soul Crystal, a cultivator suddenly appeared behind him. Seeing that Xia Yuhui had the Soul Crystal in his hand, the cultivator sighed and said to Xia Yuhui, "Fellow Daoist, I also want to obtain this Soul Crystal. I wonder if you would be willing to part with it? I am willing to offer an extra fifty spirit stones."
