Immortal Cultivation Families: The Rise of the Jinling Immortal Clan

"Oh, you silly child, immortals, how can you have so much time? If you can come back a few times in the future, your parents will be satisfied," said Wang Er's wife with a smile.

"Rest assured, Immortal, I already know. Thank you for your great kindness."

After saying this, Wang Er was about to kneel down and kowtow to express his gratitude again.

However, Xia Yuhui stopped him, saying, "Alright, you have done me a favor, so today I will accept Wang Gou Dan as my disciple, and from now on this favor will be gone."

Wang Er was secretly delighted. He had only hoped that Wang Gou Dan would go back to cultivate with Xia Yu Hui, but he did not expect that Xia Yu Hui would be willing to take Wang Gou Dan as his disciple. He felt deeply grateful for the good deeds of his ancestors and quickly bowed to express his gratitude.

"In that case, make your preparations. I'll give you one day to say goodbye. After that, I'll set off with Gou Dan. You won't be back until Gou Dan has completed his studies. So if there's anything important, tell me as soon as possible."

"Yes... Immortal, we will do our best to handle this promptly. We dare not delay your time. Please come inside and rest for a while. We will prepare a meal for you immediately."

After saying this, Wang Er immediately pulled his wife into the house to prepare the meal.

Xia Yuhui gazed at the longevity tablet erected for himself inside the room, and shook his head slightly. "No need. I no longer need to eat. I will come to pick you up tomorrow morning." After saying this, Xia Yuhui disappeared without a trace.

Only three people remained, stunned.

In the distance lay a bamboo grove. Xia Yuhui sat upright within it, feeling the gentle breeze around him, and began his cultivation. Since breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he hadn't spent much time on cultivation. Now, with all the recent trivial matters settled, it was time for him to cultivate.

Although he hasn't devoted much energy to cultivation in recent years, he has still made some progress. If he cultivates with all his might for a few months now, he should be able to enter the second level of Foundation Establishment...

The next morning, Xia Yuhui awoke from his cultivation and appeared in front of Wang Er's house in a few flashes. At that moment, Wang Er and his wife were saying their final goodbyes to Wang Gou Dan.

With tears streaming down her face, Wang Er's wife urged Wang Gou Dan, "When you get there, remember to eat more. You're still in this stage of development, so you need to eat more to grow. Otherwise, people will look down on you in the future. If you miss your parents when you get there, look at the stars in the sky, and that way you won't miss them too much."

"Here, take this jade pendant. It's an heirloom from my family and will protect you. You should carry it with you from now on, and take it out to look at it whenever you miss me..."

As a mother, Wang Er's wife was certainly very reluctant to part with Wang Gou Dan, but she couldn't stop Wang Gou Dan's destiny to become a fairy, so she could only grumble a few words.

After a while, Wang Er, who was pretending to be calm, couldn't take it anymore and scolded, "Alright, why are you so long-winded, you old woman? He's not going to join the army, why are you crying like this? If you keep the immortal waiting, I'll beat you to death."

After saying that, he pulled Wang Gou Dan over, checked his luggage again, patted his head, and said to Wang Gou Dan, "Gou Dan, your father can only be a farmer for the rest of his life. You have to make my Wang family proud. When you come back as an immortal, you will make sure that no other family can look down on my Wang family anymore. I will arrange a few wives for you then, remember?"

"Don't worry, Dad, I will definitely become an immortal." Wang Gou Dan wiped away his tears and said with a determined look.

"Okay, Dad believes in you, you're the best." After saying that, he pulled Wang Gou Dan to Xia Yu Hui's side.

With a wave of his hand, Xia Yuhui's luggage disappeared from Wang Gou Dan's body. After looking at the puzzled Wang Gou Dan, he explained, "Don't worry, I'm just keeping it for you. I'll return it to you when we get there."

After saying that, he took out the flying boat from his storage bag, put Wang Gou Dan on it, and then jumped in front of him and propelled the flying boat into the air.

When Wang Er's wife saw this scene, she could no longer hold back and collapsed to the ground, weeping bitterly.

Wang Gou Dan, who was on the airship, couldn't help but cry.

Xia Yuhui ignored it completely, accelerated his flight, and disappeared from the spot a few breaths later.

On the way to the family, Xia Yuhui said to Wang Gou Dan, "You chose this path yourself. From now on, you can't complain about hardship or fatigue. You have to be able to endure loneliness. Even when you fight with others, you can't back down and tarnish my reputation. Otherwise, I will punish you. Do you understand?"

"This disciple understands!" Wang Gou Dan said decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

Xia Yuhui nodded, extremely satisfied, and glad that Wang Gou Dan was indeed a promising talent.

About a day later.

Xia Yuhui returned to his family. He was sitting in the courtyard of his cave dwelling, chatting with Xia Guangchang about family matters. Meanwhile, Wang Gou Dan was sitting under a pear tree, engrossed in reading a jade slip specifically for learning to read.

"This disciple you've taken on is truly a promising talent. He can read for five hours straight and still endure the loneliness without going out to play. I didn't have his ability back then," Xia Guangchang remarked.

"It's not because I'm strict with him, but this kid is really good, and his spiritual root is top-notch."

"Well, what's his name?" Xia Guangchang asked.

While resting and rubbing his eyes, Wang Gou Dan heard someone mention his name. He immediately stood up, bowed, and said, "Immortal, my name is Wang Gou Dan. This is the name my grandfather gave me before he passed away."

"Haha, Gou Dan, Gou Dan is a name that sounds quite catchy, but since you're going to cultivate immortality, you should naturally change your name. How about I give you a name today? I am the Great Elder of the Xia family. From now on, just say Great Elder when you see me."

"Yes, please bestow a name upon me, Elder."

Xia Guangchang nodded when he saw Xia Yuhui, and then said, "Let me think. You are Yuhui's apprentice, so let's use Liang in your generation name. Recently, my Xia family has been very prosperous, so let's call you Wang Liangxing. Are you willing?"

"This junior is willing, and thanks the Elder for bestowing a name upon me." Wang Liangxing was naturally willing and quickly bowed in gratitude before returning to the pear tree to continue reading.

"Not bad, not bad at all, this name is indeed excellent. The Grand Elder's naming skills are as good as ever," Xia Yuhui complimented.

"Of course, you know I named half of the people in the Xia family with the character 'Wang' in their names. When you came, I even wanted to change your name to Yuqing, but you were as stubborn as a mule back then and refused to agree no matter what, so I gave up. Look at Yuhua, Yuren and the others, aren't their names better than yours?"

"Sigh, the elder is right to reprimand me, but I didn't think that much at the time. After all, my name was given to me by my deceased parents, so I can't just change it..."

"Alright, enough of this small talk. Let's get down to business. I've made arrangements for the Yang family. I've separated them all. Most of them are doing manual labor, while only those with higher cultivation levels are left to guard the spiritual mountains and mines. These people shouldn't be able to cause any trouble. My only worry is Yang Kongtai. After all, he must have some cunning to endure such humiliation."

"Don't worry, with me here, he can't cause any trouble. I've already arranged for Mingyue to handle it, and I believe we'll have results soon," Xia Yuhui said confidently.

"Well, I've always trusted you with your work, so I won't disturb your cultivation any longer."

After saying that, he walked over to Wang Liangxing and handed him a storage bag. "Here, this is a gift for you, kid. Welcome to the Xia family."

Wang Liangxing saw Xia Yuhui nod with a smile before bowing and accepting the gift.

Xia Guangchang then went out.
