Immortal Cultivation Families: The Rise of the Jinling Immortal Clan

Chapter 239 Assigning Missions

After a spirit breaks through to the upper level, its strength will undergo a tremendous change, but the resources it needs will also be a bottomless pit. Even if it possesses a treasure of heaven and earth like Yin Water, it will not be able to satisfy the needs of the two evil spirits.

Secondly, these two ghosts have had a smooth journey so far. If we give them resources so easily, what difference would that be from making offerings to our ancestors?

"Alright, here's what we'll do. I'll give you two ghosts one task each. Whoever completes it first will receive my help to break through. As for the other one, we'll decide on that later."

Upon hearing Xia Yuhui's words, the two ghosts seemed to awaken from a dream, finally understanding Xia Yuhui's scheme. However, the two ghosts would certainly not miss such a golden opportunity.

"Master, rest assured, I will handle the tasks entrusted to me perfectly." Qingfeng assured him with unwavering determination.

"Stop your nonsense! With your stupid brain, do you think you can do it? Master, just give me both tasks, and I, Mingyue, can complete them." Mingyue said decisively.

"Very well, then you should leave quickly." After saying that, Xia Yuhui tossed a jade slip to each of the two ghosts.

What is recorded therein is the task that Xia Yuhui just wrote down.

After accepting the task, the two ghosts immediately swallowed it without hesitation, clearly having no intention of reading it here.

After all, they know each other's temperaments well, and if the other party were to discover their mission, the other party would inevitably try to sabotage them.

The two exchanged a glance, both revealing a look of disdain.

"Master! Qingfeng takes his leave now." After bidding farewell, Qingfeng transformed into a cloud of ghostly mist and flew out of the cave like a gust of wind.

Even when Xia Liangqing and Xia Liangxin came to try and entangle it, it completely ignored them, directly using its ghostly power to push the two away, and then flew away into the distance.

After Qingfeng left, Mingyue immediately opened the jade slip. She was by no means a dullard. If she didn't examine it in front of Xia Yuhui now, who would she ask if she encountered any problems or unclear matters?

In a short while, Mingyue read through the contents of the jade slip three times, word by word.

Its mission had no specific objective; the jade slip only recorded that Xia Yuhui wanted to know intelligence about the Chu Kingdom and the Tianyao Alliance.

The success or failure of the mission depends entirely on what kind of intelligence Mingyue can bring.

Having clearly understood its mission and had no questions, Mingyue rose swiftly like an arrow released from a bow, took its leave, and departed. It knew that only by capturing two Foundation Establishment cultivators could it secure victory in this opportunity.

However, both of these forces are powerful Golden Core cultivators. If Xia Yuhui were to capture two Foundation Establishment cultivators among them, it might be easy for him to do it personally with the two ghosts, but if he were to let them act alone, it would undoubtedly be an extremely difficult task.

However, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world; if you want to gain something, you must lose something else.

Watching the two ghosts disappear into the distance, a thoughtful smile appeared on Xia Yuhui's lips. If he couldn't complete either of these tasks, then he certainly wouldn't grant them the Yin Water to help them break through.

Why would he need useless people? Since they have no value whatsoever, why bother worshipping them as ancestors?

After the two ghosts had been gone for a long time, Xia Yuhui once again entered the Xia family's treasure vault, took some materials and pills, and then went to drink and make merry with Xia Yuren.

Now that Xia Yuhua is burdened with important matters, the only way for him to relax is to seek out Xia Yuren. Since he broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, those peers who were once close to him but failed to break through have gradually drifted away from him. It is no longer possible to talk freely with them as before, and even when they are in the same room, they feel extremely restrained.

Therefore, he could only chat with the three members of the Yu generation to pass the time. Now that he thought about it, Xia Yufeng had been at the Tianyao Alliance for some time, and he wondered how he was doing.

On this day, when Xia Yuhua saw Xia Yuhui arrive, she didn't say a word and immediately dragged him into a two-day, two-night drinking spree. Afterwards, neither of them used their internal energy to neutralize the effects of the alcohol, but instead let its power ravage their bodies.

Helpless, his second brother, upon hearing that he had nothing to do recently, began to nag, "Since you've become so powerful, you haven't had the chance to drink and chat with your second brother anymore. You must have a good drink today."

In the end, Xia Yuhui had no choice but to let it be.

After a hearty drinking session, the refining materials collected by the Xia family had arrived, and Xia Yuhui immediately began the work of restoring the spiritual weapon...

Four days later, Xia Liangqing rode a Qingcang horse leisurely down the mountain, as carefree as a hermit.

At this moment, his storage bag was already crammed full of various elixirs or life-saving methods that would benefit ordinary people, like a treasure trove.

These treasures were all obtained by him through blood and sweat from his family. After this, he will go directly to guard the family's resource area outside, and he will have less and less time to see his mortal brothers and sisters. So this time he brought more things with him.

The Azure Horse was a spirit horse stolen from the Akagi family; its speed and endurance were astonishing. Soon, Xia Liangqing arrived at Xiliu Village like a whirlwind.

Since the attack, most of the former villagers of Xiliu Village have perished, leaving only a small number of survivors. In order to enable the people of Xiliu Village to rise up quickly, the Xia family transferred many people from other villages to Xiliu Village.

After several years of development, Xiliu Village has gradually returned to its former tranquility.

Only those who survived the attack will occasionally have ripples of memory resurface in the depths of their minds.

As soon as Xia Liangqing stepped into the village, many curious people flocked to him like bees to honey.

Although many of these people are members of the Xia family, it does not mean that they have all witnessed the prowess of Xia family cultivators.

"Little brother, you've arrived." At this moment, Xia Qiu, who had been waiting in Xiliu Village for half a day, saw Xia Liangqing and immediately ran over like an arrow.

Xia Liangqing had sent them a letter well in advance, so they were naturally aware of his arrival. And so, they waited anxiously at the village entrance early in the morning.

"Liangqing greets elder brother." Upon seeing his elder brother, who had cared for him since childhood, Xia Liangqing was so excited that his face turned as red as the evening glow. Over the years, he had been living like a hermit in Lingshan. Although he got along well with his peers on the mountain, deep down he still longed to reunite with his brothers and sisters.

After all, they are siblings who grew up together since childhood.

After briefly learning about Xia Liangqing's situation over the years, Xia Qiu smiled and took Xia Liangqing back home. Their home was still the same as before. Although it had been reduced to ruins by the last attack, it had been rebuilt. Although the appearance had changed, it was still the same home.

After staying at this home for a full month, Xia Liangqing reluctantly left. Now, the time given to him by the family had come, and he had to quickly go and guard the resource area.

Two days later, Xia Liangqing arrived at a place 30,000 miles away.

Since the Xia family rose to power, their territory has sprung up rapidly, and now, one-third of the vast area of ​​Jinling County has been taken over by the Xia family.

This territory is dotted with numerous resource sites of varying sizes, like twinkling stars scattered throughout. If it weren't for the rapid advancement of the Xia family's cultivators over the years, they probably wouldn't have been confident in swallowing such a vast territory.

Xia Liangqing's destination was still nearly a thousand miles away, and at this moment, he was no longer as calm and composed as he had been in the Xia family's key area.

After all, he had heard that the reason he came to that resource point was because the two Xia family cultivators who used to guard it suddenly perished while they were out, and the Xia family investigated for nearly two months afterward but found nothing.
