In this way, Xia Yuhui exchanged the monster corpses in his hands for various materials that could be used to refine magical artifacts and cultivation resources.

After wandering around a few more times and finding no more treasures appearing, Xia Yuhui left alone. After all, what cultivator would be foolish enough to sell their treasures?

As for finding a bargain, ordinary independent cultivators might still have a chance. However, these people have knowledge that far surpasses that of independent cultivators by ten or even hundreds of times, so there is no possibility of them mistakenly selling treasures.

Even if they cannot determine whether an item is valuable, they will choose to consult their family elders or check the sect's library.

Back in his room, Xia Yuhui took out his weapon-refining furnace. Now that the materials were ready, it was time to refine a magical artifact. Currently, he only had one magical artifact, and if he encountered danger along the way, he might lose in the battle.

Therefore, he needs to use these few days to forge several more magical artifacts for self-defense. At this moment, he has more than a dozen kinds of high-quality materials on him, which may enable him to forge some quite excellent magical artifacts.

And so, Xia Yuhui began his great career in weapon forging.

Time flies, and half a month has passed.

Xia Yuhui walked out of the room looking exhausted, while Xia Yufeng was already waiting at the door. Xia Yuhui took out a stick from his storage bag and handed it to Xia Yufeng, which Xia Yufeng had specifically asked him to refine.

After this battle, not only were Xia Yuhui's magical artifacts destroyed, but Xia Yufeng's magical artifacts were also all lost.

Because Xia Yufeng provided excellent materials, the magic weapon he refined this time was of very high quality, and could be called a fine example of mid-grade first-order magic weapon.

However, Xia Yuhui ultimately failed to refine a high-grade magic weapon. It was not because he did not study diligently enough, but because the four arts of cultivation were profound and obscure. Ordinary people, without exceptional talent and without the guidance of a master, would find it difficult to achieve anything.

Even though Xia Yuhui's divine sense is now powerful enough to cover a radius of 15 miles, he is still missing that crucial step, which can be said to be a bottleneck.

Breaking through this bottleneck is no easy task, but if Xia Yuhui could witness a weapon refiner crafting a high-grade magic weapon in person, he might be able to successfully refine one as well.

However, the current situation does not allow it, and it seems that the only way is to return home and ask my third uncle, Xia Guangyao, for help.

However, Xia Yuhui was full of confidence, believing that after observing it a few more times, he would surely succeed.

Therefore, he was not anxious at the moment.

After seeing Xia Yufeng off, Xia Yuhui entered his room and took out two magical artifacts from his storage bag, one for defense and one for attack, both of which were mid-grade first-tier magical artifacts.

This is the result of his efforts over the past few days. The defensive magic weapon is a shield he forged from the ribs of a demon beast and spirit ore, while the offensive magic weapon was forged from the spirit ore he obtained last time.

Now that the magic weapon has been successfully crafted, he took out the "Flowing Light Sword Manual" and looked at it again. The last battle showed that the Flowing Light Sword Technique was extremely powerful. If he could master it, its power would probably be even greater. At that time, he would be able to rank at the top in the Qi Refining stage.

Three days later, the mission team returned to the spaceship one after another. After several Foundation Establishment cultivators gave a speech, they told everyone to go back to their rooms.

During this time, Xia Yuhui discovered that the number of deaths among the family cultivators was alarmingly high. In comparison, their team's death rate was the closest. Some teams had even lost all their family cultivators, while more than a dozen middle-level disciples survived.

This was clearly a blatant scheme against the family cultivators. However, the family cultivators were helpless. At present, the Guiyun Sect was in a very bad situation, but they were still serving in the Guiyun Sect, so they could only swallow their anger.

After arriving at his room, Xia Yuhui began cultivating. He planned to use his time on the spaceship to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, since he had been stuck at the seventh level of Qi Refining for several years and it was time to break through.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the spaceship arrived at Guiyun Sect. During this time, Xia Yuhui used seven or eight bottles of pills but still failed to break through. However, it was not because he encountered a bottleneck, but because he did not have enough time. So he only reached the peak of the seventh level of Qi Refining. However, Xia Yuhui had a vague feeling that he did not encounter a bottleneck this time. He thought that this training was still very helpful to him.

There are actually two ways to break through a bottleneck. One is to buy pills like the Breakthrough Pill for the breakthrough. The second is to hone one's magic power and bottleneck through battle to achieve a breakthrough. Xia Yuhui's situation this time is similar to the second method.

After disembarking from the spaceship, Guiyun Sect immediately gathered everyone together and delivered a righteous and stern speech, roughly stating that these people had made great contributions to the sect and that the sect would definitely remember their achievements.

Then, each person was given fifty spirit stones and dismissed. Of course, those who did this mission also received a sum of Guiyun Sect contribution points.

Xia Yuhui and Xia Yufeng left all of Xia Guangzheng's contribution points to Xia Guangyan. Xia Guangzheng had already stated that the contribution points should be left to Xia Guangyan while he was alive, so the two naturally had no objections.

After receiving the contribution points, Xia Guangyan showed no joy whatsoever; instead, he looked distressed. He never imagined that Xia Guangzheng, whom he had always respected, would actually die there, and that he hadn't gone to his rescue, nor even seen him one last time.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that when Xia Guangzheng was dying, he had told him in a voice transmission that he would leave the contribution points he had earned to buy Foundation Establishment Pills and admonish him to cultivate well. Only now did he recall that Xia Guangzheng's expression at that time was already one of facing death without fear, but he had not noticed it.

This filled him with grief and indignation, and at the same time, he felt a surge of shame and anger. His eyes, which had not shed a tear for more than thirty years, were now unable to hold back the flow of two lines of bitter tears.

Once he realized what was happening and looked at the two tribesmen in front of him, he quickly composed himself, smiled, and solemnly thanked them.

Xia Yuhui and Xia Guangyan simply nodded slightly and said nothing more. Just as Xia Yuhui was bidding farewell to Xia Guangyan and was about to leave the sect with Xia Yufeng, Jin Yushu, who had spoken a few words with him, suddenly stepped forward and said to Xia Yuhui, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Xia would be willing to come with me here."

Xia Yuhui hesitated for a moment, then followed her. The two went to a secluded place and set up a barrier. Only then did Jin Yushu reveal her purpose.

"Fellow Daoist Xia, both our families are from Jinling County. Could you give me a ride? Once we reach the Jin family, I will certainly reward you handsomely."

Xia Yuhui instantly understood that Jin Yushu was worried that some villains would take advantage of this opportunity to harm her. However, Xia Yuhui believed that Guiyun Sect would not make a move again, since if they were to take action, Jin Yushu would already be unable to leave the Northern Frontier.

However, it was difficult to guarantee that others would not continue to harm them. Therefore, after careful consideration, Xia Yuhui replied directly: "I'm sorry, Fairy Jin, I'm afraid I can't help you. My cousin and I are both seriously injured. I'm afraid the Cai family will try to harm us on the way. So, Fairy Jin, you should find someone else."

After saying this, Xia Yuhui turned and left, leaving Jin Yushu standing there in a daze in the wind.

It wasn't that Xia Yuhui was oblivious to romance; rather, he simply didn't want to invite further trouble. This trip to northern Xinjiang had taught him a profound lesson, and from then on, he became increasingly cautious in his actions.

As for Jin Yushu's life or death, it was none of his business. He had only exchanged a few words with her, and he had no reason to put himself in danger for a complete stranger.

As for the two members of the Cai family he mentioned, Xia Yuhui had already decided to intercept and kill them on his return journey before even going to the Northern Frontier. However, after the trip to the Northern Frontier, he abandoned this idea. Now, although he has recovered to about 70-80%, if he were to fight to the death with two cultivators who are a level higher than him, there is a risk that his old illness will relapse.

Therefore, Xia Yuhui abandoned this idea.

In Shenjia County, in a market town run by the Shen family, Xia Yuhui and Xia Yufeng were looking around at the goods displayed on the stalls. Due to the different location, the items sold on the stalls were quite different from those sold in Jinling County, so the two of them strolled around the street out of curiosity.

During this time, they would occasionally inquire about the purpose and price of the goods, and of course, Xia Yuhui also harbored the intention of finding a bargain.

Perhaps it was a case of hardship finally turning into happiness, for Xia Yuhui immediately sensed something unusual with his powerful divine sense and walked over to it without making a sound.

Then, he pretended to pick up a few items, carefully inquired about their prices, and then bought two bottles of healing pills. The stall owner immediately beamed with joy and earnestly introduced various goods to Xia Yuhui.

During this time, Xia Yuhui also sold several pieces of monster bones. Finally, he reached out and picked up the strange monster bone. The stall owner hurriedly explained, "Fellow Daoist, this bone fragment is a rare treasure. It was obtained by me and a few friends from a senior's cave. It is definitely not a bone fragment from an ordinary monster."

Xia Yuhui snorted coldly: "So what?"

The stall owner was stunned for a moment, but then said, "Alas, this bone fragment may have miraculous effects, but I am too ignorant to recognize it. Perhaps if you take it back and observe it more closely, you may discover that it is a treasure."
