Obtaining help from Totosai and the other elders to find Mount Yama Man's remains and the swordsmith Dao Qiu naturally took more than a few words.
In exchange.
A few days after bringing Dao Qiu back to Mount Hakurei, Li Xia made a special trip to the Demon Town where the Demon Spirit Great Sage lived.
"Mr. Xia, have you had any news of Inuyasha and the others?"
Old Myōga suppressed his anxiety and asked.

He was an important step in Tessaiga's progression toward its ultimate form.
They had never expected the human youth before them to reap the benefits instead.
At first, they had also placed their "high hopes" on this youth as they would on a retainer of their young master.

Li Xia nodded
