Chapter 105 Xia Jialiang Generation
After experiencing the intense heat of the fire, Xia Yuhui took out a refining furnace from his storage bag.
This furnace is no longer the one he used for refining weapons in the past, but was specially taken out from the family treasury. Its quality can be described as a top-grade magic weapon, which can greatly increase the success rate when refining weapons. It is truly a treasure passed down through the family.
The value of this refining furnace far exceeds that of the spiritual artifact in Xia Yuhui's possession, and now it has been passed down to Xia Yuhui.
After familiarizing himself with the refining furnace, Xia Yuhui placed it properly and then took out a pile of materials from his storage bag.
These are all materials used to refine high-grade magic artifacts, which Xia Yuhui obtained from his family, totaling 18 sets.
Half an incense stick later, Xia Yuhui felt that the temperature was just right and immediately began refining the weapon.
Previously, due to the lack of second-tier alchemists and weapon refiners in the family, Foundation Establishment cultivators had to go out and spend spirit stones to buy things such as pills and spiritual weapons, which was a real loss.
After all, once you enter the Foundation Establishment stage, most transactions involve bartering. If you simply purchase items with spirit stones, you'll end up paying more money unnecessarily. Therefore, Xia Yuhui must now do his utmost to remedy this shortcoming.
Once he becomes a second-tier weapon refiner, not only will a steady stream of wealth flow in, but even rogue cultivators from the surrounding area will come to support him. In this way, the Xia family's prestige will inevitably grow stronger day by day, allowing them to gain a certain degree of influence in Jinling County.
The logic is that only when interests align can they be considered to be in the same camp, thus allowing Jinling County to appear united against external threats.
After a short while, Xia Yuhui began to slowly add the ingredients.
He had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage many years ago, and now, refining these high-grade magic weapons was as easy as a teacher reviewing his childhood textbooks.
Half a day later, Xia Yuhui successfully crafted a high-quality, top-grade magical artifact. However, Xia Yuhui did not stop, but continued crafting…
Half a month later, Xia Yuhui had finished refining all the materials. However, he failed once again during this period. Although he had reached a state of perfection in refining high-grade magic weapons, he still failed unexpectedly once. After all, refining weapons is something that can be ruined if there is even the slightest mistake. No matter how careful he is, he cannot achieve perfection.
A total of seventeen magical artifacts were successfully crafted this time, and each one was of superior quality. If they were sold, their price would be at least fifty spirit stones higher than that of ordinary high-grade magical artifacts.
Xia Yuhui put the magic artifacts into his storage bag with satisfaction. Now that he has broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, these high-grade magic artifacts are of little help to him. Therefore, he will put these magic artifacts on the contribution list for the family to exchange for in order to enhance the family's strength.
Now, as the most skilled weapon refiner in the family, he should do his best; otherwise, if he keeps taking from the family's treasury, the family's finances will eventually fall into crisis.
After putting away the refining furnace, Xia Yuhui went out. He had just released his divine sense to explore the entire Lingfeng Mountain and learned that Xia Yufeng's caravan had returned to the family. He was going to check on it.
Inside Xia Yufeng's cave, a dozen or so members of the Xia family were chatting idly.
"This trip was very fruitful. We made more than five times our profit from one round trip. After a few months of rest, we can set off again."
"Yes, this war has brought huge profits to our Xia family. I can use my contribution points to exchange for another mid-grade magic weapon later."
"Alas, you are unaware of the truth. The decisive battle is approaching, and the Guiyun Sect is summoning my Xia family to participate in the war again. I'm afraid even the clan leader will need to go."
"Yes, if the clan leader were to meet with misfortune again, our Xia family would likely revert to its former state."
Just as everyone was having a great time chatting, Xia Yufeng, who was sitting together, and Xia Yuren, who had just entered the cave, stood up together and looked outside the cave.
Confused, everyone turned to look.
With Xia Yufeng's permission, Xia Yuhui entered the cave.
Xia Yufeng immediately made room for Xia Yuhui and Xia Yuren to sit side by side.
"Greetings, Clan Chief!" Everyone present bowed to Xia Yuhui in unison.
After Xia Yuhui took his seat, he gazed at everyone with a look of satisfaction on his face. Most of the people here were the new generation of the Xia family. Apart from a few people who belonged to the Yu generation, the rest belonged to the Liang generation.
Among the new generation of the Xia family, four or five members have emerged with outstanding talents. Overall, they are better than the Yu generation. This is naturally also because the Liang generation has a large number of members, almost half as many as the Yu generation.
To this day, there have been a total of five cultivators with three spiritual roots, and even a cultivator with two spiritual roots, a phenomenon that is rare even in a century.
Among the three spiritual root cultivators present were Xia Liangmu, the second oldest at the sixth level of Qi Refining; Xia Liangshou, the seventh oldest at the sixth level of Qi Refining; and Xia Liangshi, the nineteenth oldest at the fifth level of Qi Refining.
Xia Yuhui was very satisfied with these people. They were willing to follow Xia Yufeng on such a dangerous mission, so they must be very resilient and not hothouse flowers.
Of course, the others who did not participate were not incompetent. Although Xia Liangmu was the oldest of the Liang generation, his cultivation was not the highest. Xia Liangxin, who had two spiritual roots, and Xia Lianghe, who had three spiritual roots, both entered the sixth level of Qi Refining before him. Moreover, Xia Lianghe has now reached the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining, making him the undisputed number one of the Liang generation.
Although he was the third oldest, he not only had the highest cultivation level among the Liang generation in the clan, but was also a mid-grade weapon refiner. The Liang generation in the clan all regarded him as their leader.
"Very good. You are indeed outstanding talents of the Xia family. With you all, the Xia family will never decline. Remember, when you travel in the cultivation world, you must be careful at all times. The outside world is extremely dangerous, far more so than the family. If you make a mistake while out there, you may be in danger of losing your life."
"Thank you for the guidance, clan chief!"
"Alright, Eighth Brother, tell me the general details of this incident." After encouraging the clansmen, Xia Yuhui then inquired about the overall events from Xia Yufeng.
Xia Yufeng then briefly recounted the journey, explaining that during their trip to Qingshui County, they encountered five or six attacks, mostly after arriving in Qingshui County, when they were ambushed by monsters.
Currently, large swathes of territory in Qingshui County have been occupied by demonic beasts, and Guiyu Sect can only do its best to defend the last bit of land.
However, this alone is not enough to determine who is stronger or weaker. The outcome of the battle does not depend on the lower-level cultivators, but on the high-level combat power.
As far as Xia Yuhui knew, this beast tide was just like usual, sending excess demonic beasts to their deaths, so the situation was not critical. With the strength of the two Golden Core cultivators from the Guiyun Sect, they would certainly be able to handle it with ease.
If Guiyun Sect is like this, then the surrounding countries must be the same.
After listening to Xia Yufeng's words, Xia Yuhui nodded in satisfaction, "Good, merit should be rewarded. I just finished refining several high-grade magic artifacts, so I will bestow three upon you today."
After speaking, Xia Yuhui handed each of Xia Liangmu, Xia Liangshou, and Xia Liangchou a high-grade magic weapon.
These three individuals killed more than ten demonic beasts during this transport mission and deserve a reward.
"The rest of you need not be discouraged. Everyone who participated in this mission will receive an additional 100 contribution points. The three of you will not need to receive any more."
Upon hearing this, all the cultivators present finally smiled.
After chatting with the group for a while, they left one by one, leaving only Xia Yufeng, Xia Yuhua, and Xia Yuhui.
"Fifth Brother, I learned halfway through the journey that there is a Foundation Building Trade Fair in Wanbao County. Perhaps you could go and participate."
"Oh, tell me more details, I'd like to hear it." Xia Yuhui immediately showed interest.
