Chapter 312 Favor
“A few days ago, one of the most outstanding young disciples of the Chai family, Chai Qiaohong, and a Jindan guardian, Pan Ming, disappeared in the Great Xuan Sea. They are most likely killed.

Chai Qiaohong was the most beloved direct descendant of Chai family's supreme elder Chai Chuanmo, and was cultivated by him as his successor, while Pan Ming was his loyal follower.

For this, Chai Chuanmo was furious and sent many Chai family members to the Great Xuan Sea to investigate. Not only that, the Chai family also put pressure on the three major sects of our Daliang Kingdom, asking us to send people to the Great Xuan Sea to conduct a large-scale investigation. "Xiao Hongyi explained.

When Xia Daoming heard this, his expression became very subtle.

Seeing Xia Daoming's subtle expression, Xiao Hongyi naturally couldn't think that the murderer was right in front of him, and thought that he didn't understand the interests involved, so he explained: "Most of the coastline of the Great Xuan Sea is in Daliang State, so nominally the immortal cultivation forces in the Great Xuan Sea are mainly under the jurisdiction of our three major sects in Daliang State.

But in fact, the Great Xuan Sea is very vast, and the immortal cultivation forces of all parties are scattered, mainly composed of independent cultivators. It is also connected to the vast and boundless Beizhen Sea, which is the real overseas. If something really happens, they will run directly to the open sea. How can our three major sects control them?
But in name, the immortal cultivation forces in the Great Xuan Sea are ultimately under the jurisdiction of the three major sects of our Daliang Kingdom. Now that something happened in the Great Xuan Sea, the Chai family will naturally hold the three major sects of our Daliang Kingdom accountable.

If it was someone else, there would be no problem. After all, our three major sects are also large sects. However, this matter involves the Yuanying Ancestor, so we have to give him some respect and make an effort to investigate. "

"I see." Xia Daoming nodded with relief, but he still felt something strange in his heart.

“However, the Great Xuan Sea is different from the Daliang Kingdom. The sea is vast, and there are powerful monsters living on the seabed. Their whereabouts are uncertain and their range of activities is very wide. No one knows when and where they will suddenly rush out of the sea.

Not only that, although the overall strength of the immortal cultivation world in the Daxuan Sea is far inferior to that of the Daliang Kingdom and its power is also very loose, there is still a shortage of Jindan cultivators living and practicing on some islands.

These Jindan cultivators are powerful and have a way out to the sea, so they often refuse to obey discipline. Some of them even hate the cultivators in our Great Xuan Territory, and they may become violent if they disagree with them.

In addition, the sea is vast and there are few people coming and going. If they kill and rob, they can just run away and it will be very difficult to track them down afterwards. Therefore, there are many more robbers on the sea than on land.

This time, the head sect leader sent Tong Li to lead the team. Tong Li is the head sect leader's disciple and also a Jindan elder. She led the investigation. No matter what the result, it would be an explanation to the Chai family.

But I always feel that Tong Li is still a little weak, and I don't feel comfortable letting her lead the team." Xiao Hongyi stopped talking here.

"Since Uncle Master feels that Elder Tong is still a little weak, then we can send another Jindan elder to accompany him." Xia Daoming said without giving it much thought.

"The dead are from the Chai family, not from our three major sects, nor from Xuantian Pavilion. For the sake of the Chai family, our three major sects have agreed to send a Jindan elder from each family, and that is already because Chai Chuanmo is a Yuanying ancestor.

If each family sends two Jindan elders for this purpose, people who don't know will think that the three major sects of our Daliang Kingdom are afraid of the Chai family and want to please the Chai family. Besides, there is more than one Chai family in the Great Xuan Kingdom, there are also the Shang family, the Yuan family, and so on.

It's impossible that if something happens to them in the Great Xuan Sea, we will have to send out Jindan elders to help investigate, and two elders from each family, is that reasonable?" Xiao Hongyi rejected it immediately.

"In that case, let Elder Tong take the men through the motions. There won't be any danger." Xia Daoming said as a matter of course.

He killed the person, what's the point of investigating?
It's just a formality of course.

"Since we have sent people out to investigate, we can't just be perfunctory. Firstly, we want to avoid giving people a chance to talk and bring bad things upon the Chai family; secondly, using this incident to investigate overseas is a rare opportunity for Tong Li, Xiao Xuan and others to gain knowledge and training." Xiao Hongyi said.

"Uncle Master, do you want me to accompany you on this trip?" Xia Daoming looked at Xiao Hongyi, his mood and expression were very subtle.

After hearing this, he naturally understood Xiao Hongyi's intention.

But the problem is, he is the murderer.

Isn't this asking him to investigate himself?

“I was a little undecided when I came here, and wanted to talk to you and see how things went before making a decision. But now I think it’s only right that you accompany me on this trip.

Firstly, you have already completed your foundation building, and your strength is definitely stronger than Tong Li. Tong Li, the Jindan elder, is in the open, and you are in the dark, so if there is any accident, you can handle it;

Secondly, you need to prepare for the Golden Elixir Path, and you need to go out more to gain experience and knowledge. The Great Xuan Sea is connected to the overseas cultivation world, so you can go and learn some overseas news in advance, don’t you think?"

After Xiao Hongyi finished speaking, he looked at Xia Daoming with a smile on his face, with encouragement from an elder in his eyes.

Xia Daoming looked at Xiao Hongyi, who was acting like an elder who was doing everything for your own good, and curled his lips in disapproval.

He has even been to the real overseas, and even killed two Jindan Tribulation cultivators overseas. He even has a cave dwelling. Does he still need to go to the Great Xuan Sea to train and broaden his horizons?
After all, it's because he is worried about his precious son.

Seeing that Xia Daoming pouted and didn't respond, Xiao Hongyi simply crossed his legs, picked up the tea and slowly blew away the hot steam. The smile on his face gradually became unnatural.

"You little brat, you are just like your master! Well, this is a mandatory task assigned to you by the sect, and it is also a favor that your uncle owes you, okay?" Finally, Xiao Hongyi said helplessly.

"Uncle Master, look at what you said. You and my master are friends who have lived together for a lifetime, and we are real brothers. Xiao Xuan is your son, so he is my brother, right? You are saying that you owe me a favor. That's too polite!" Xia Daoming then put down his teacup and said seriously.

Xiao Hongyi glanced at Xia Daoming unhappily and said, "We will set out in two days. Let Xiao Xuan do the work. You only need to help him when his life is in danger."

"Uncle Master, don't worry. I'm good at this. I will never be exposed unless it's an extremely urgent situation." Xia Daoming said complacently.

"I am very relieved about this, otherwise I would not have come to you." Xiao Hongyi looked at Xia Daoming who had a smug look on his face. This time he did not glare at him, but nodded seriously.

"By the way, Uncle Master, do you know where to find the ten-thousand-year-old stalactite liquid and the thousand-year-old Nine-Curve Ginseng?" Xia Daoming asked.

"Ten thousand year old stalactite liquid and thousand year old nine-curve ginseng!" Xiao Hongyi immediately glared again upon hearing this. "That's right." Xia Daoming nodded.

"You brat, you are so arrogant. Which of these two things is extremely rare? Even a Yuanying ancestor would be tempted. But you asked where to find these two things right away. If I knew where to find them, would it be your turn?"

"That's true."

Although the answer was expected, Xia Daoming still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

The Golden Roc Sky Eye Technique is extremely mysterious. It can observe the sky and the earth, and glimpse the changes in the energy of heaven and earth, and it can also restrain dangerous things. Liu Qiaolian is a genius in formations. If she can cultivate this magical power, it will definitely be like adding wings to a tiger.

However, it is much more difficult for a Qi cultivator to cultivate this magical power than a body cultivator, and he also needs the help of ten thousand year old stalactite fluid or thousand year old nine-bend ginseng fluid to wash his eyes.

With this magical power and secret method in hand, Xia Daoming naturally wanted to find both of these elixirs.

Seeing Xia Daoming's disappointment, Xiao Hongyi's eyes flashed with hesitation. Finally, he remembered something and took out a small bottle made of fine gold from his storage ring. He threw it to Xia Daoming, then stood up and left without looking back.

It was as if he was afraid that if he turned his head a little more, he would regret it.

"What is this?" Xia Daoming held the bottle and his heart moved slightly.

"The thousand-year-old stalactite liquid you wanted."

"Ah, thank you so much, uncle, you are so kind... Hey, why are there only three drops? How can this be enough?"

Hearing Xia Daoming's excited words of gratitude, Xiao Hongyi's heartache was relieved a little. However, he did not expect that Xia Daoming would suddenly change his tone and complain that it was too little. Suddenly, Xiao Hongyi was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.

In order to obtain this thousand-year-old stalactite liquid, he suffered a lot and took many risks.

Over the years, he felt sorry for every drop of stalactite liquid he used and used it very sparingly.

It can be said that these three drops of thousand-year-old stalactite liquid were saved by him through frugality.

He was thinking that as long as Xia Daoming really grew up, he would be one of the leading figures of Qingyuan Sect in the future. Moreover, Xia Daoming was very generous in giving his son a drop of golden elixir liquid back then, and he was still grateful to him now. Of course, Zuo Dongge was also his friend of life and death, so today he took out the three drops of treasured stalactite liquid on an impulse.

As a result, this kid still thought it was not enough.

"Since you think it's too little, just give it back to me." Xiao Hongyi turned around suddenly and said with red eyes.

"Uncle-master, you are the elder, how can you go back on your word? You will make the younger generations laugh at you!" Upon seeing this, Xia Daoming immediately put away the bottle and said seriously.

"You kid, you kid, one day, I will teach you a lesson!" Xiao Hongyi pointed at Xia Daoming, his beard shaking as he uttered a cruel word, then he suddenly turned around, rolled up a rainbow of light and flew directly out of the hall, breaking through the air.

He was really worried that he wouldn't be able to control himself and would draw his sword to teach this kid a lesson.

"Master uncle, take care. I will not leave you far away!" Xia Daoming curled his lips in disapproval and spoke loudly to Hongguang who had already flown out of the hall.

With his strength, in the entire Qingyuan Sect, it is estimated that only Patriarch Huangfu, who is serving far away, has the ability to teach him a lesson.

"Brother, in the entire Qingyuan Sect, you are the only one who dares to speak to Uncle-Master Xiao like that." After seeing Xiao Hongyi disappear, Wan Yan stroked her chest and said with a lingering fear but also with admiration.

Just now, seeing Xiao Hongyi's red eyes and shaking beard, she was really scared and speechless.

"Senior sister, you're overthinking it. Uncle Xiao is not an outsider, so there's no need to be so particular." Xia Daoming said as a matter of course.

Xia Daoming still humbly maintained his original address to Wan Yan and other three senior sisters.

However, Wan Yan and the other two changed their names naturally.

From junior brother to senior brother.

After that, the two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Wan Yan bowed and said goodbye before leaving.
-
Day three.

Xia Daoming came to Tong Li’s elders’ residence, Huotong Peak.

The peak lives up to its name; from a distance, the entire mountain appears bright red, like a sunset glow.

When Xia Daoming arrived at the Elders' Mansion, Tong Li had already come out to greet him in person.

In addition to Xiao Xuan, there were also three female foundation-building monks accompanying him.

One is in the early stage of foundation building, and two are in the middle stage of foundation building.
