Immortal Cultivation Families: The Rise of the Jinling Immortal Clan

This time, Xia Yuhui still dared not let his guard down. He immediately summoned the Azure Sun Shield to protect himself, and then slowly approached the evil cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist, why didn't you choose the place I selected for you? This place has neither mountains nor water, nor trees; the feng shui is truly poor. But since things have come to this, I can only make you suffer this injustice." Xia Yuhui pressed aggressively, attempting to provoke the man with his words.

"Hehe, cough cough cough, good lad, truly a standout among men. When I, Zhang Zhicheng, was young, I was arrogant and thought myself exceptionally talented, but now I've reached this point, and it's my end. You are quite good, and I hope you can go further in this cruel world of cultivation."

After speaking, he slowly closed his eyes.

Xia Yuhui then put down the Qingyang Shield. However, the moment he did, the evil cultivator suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a flying needle with a ferocious expression.

However, his wishful thinking failed. Xia Yuhui was prepared and instantly raised the Qingyang Shield, easily blocking the flying needle.

After the flying needle bounced off and landed, a cloud of black mist dissipated from it, instantly poisoning and withering the surrounding flowers and plants.

"Why do you, a dying man, do such a futile thing?"

"This is my final lesson for you, fellow Daoist, and I will not charge you a single penny." Seeing that his sneak attack had failed, the evil cultivator could only helplessly reveal an angry and ferocious smile as he stared at Xia Yuhui.

Unable to bear it any longer, Xia Yuhui took the Qingyang Shield and smashed it hard against the evil cultivator's head, smashing it several times as if venting his anger before stopping.

Looking at it again now, the evil cultivator was completely lifeless.

Xia Yuhui immediately summoned the Azure Soul Lamp again, directly extracting the evil cultivator's soul, taking the storage bag from the evil cultivator's body, checking his three damaged flying swords and his own injuries, and revealing a smile that was more like a grimace.

"Akagi Akira, haha! I survived. I hope you are well too."

After expressing his feelings, he immediately dealt with the battlefield and then quickly left.

While fleeing, he did not forget to take a few pills to restore his mana, and then used the Turtle Breathing Technique with all his might.

After running a certain distance, one must stop and observe the surroundings to ensure, to the greatest extent possible, that one does not encounter other cultivators.

After all, he had destroyed all three of his flying swords and had very little magic power left. Even if a Qi Refining Level 5 cultivator came at this moment, Xia Yuhui felt he would have difficulty dealing with him.

However, perhaps because the Akagi family and that group of evil cultivators had long since gone, Xia Yuhui did not encounter any cultivators this time.

After running for a while, Xia Yuhui quickly found a rock wall, then used his last bit of magic to carve out a cave and immediately crawled inside.

A day later, Xia Yuhui emerged from the cave. By then, his magical power had recovered to 60%, and he was now able to protect himself.

Xia Yuhui immediately took out the low-grade flying sword he had just forged and then rode the sword into the air.

One month later,

Inside the cabin, Xia Yuhui finished his day's cultivation, got up, and opened the door.

Under the blazing sun, the sunlight shone on his ordinary face, making him appear even more unremarkable.

After a month, his injuries were finally fully healed. He also reflected on the battle and realized that he had made many shortcomings in several areas.

But what's done is done, and there's no going back. What he needs to do is try to do it even better next time.

To be honest, he regretted playing the victim, as the price he paid this time was quite high.

No wonder the elders in the family often taught them that those who practice evil cultivation will not live long.

Now, he has truly grasped the meaning of that sentence.

Looking at the thriving green rice sprouts, Xia Yuhui had no choice but to stop thinking and immediately cast the Spirit Rain Technique to bring rain to the green rice sprouts.

After several rounds of watering and spirit-summoning, Xia Yuhui finally returned to the cabin and retrieved the previous harvest.

Despite the huge price he paid, the gains were also considerable. Seeing the seven storage bags beside him, his earlier regret vanished instantly.

One by one, he used his powerful divine sense to break through the restrictions on the storage bags. Even though some of the storage bags were of excellent quality and had very strong restrictions, it was not difficult for Xia Yuhui to do so with his current divine sense. He spent several times less time than others to successfully open all the restrictions on the storage bags and then poured out all the items inside.

A total of 222 spirit stones were obtained this time, most of which came from the two cultivators from the Akagi family.

As for pills, the harvest was quite fruitful, with more than 20 bottles of various pills for improving cultivation in the later stages of Qi Refining, as well as some other loose pills.

As for talismans, only a few remain, and they are all low-level. After all, if there were spirit talismans at that time, they would definitely be used to fight enemies, rather than given to them.

In addition, there are four damaged mid-grade flying swords, but two of them are unusable because they belong to the Akagi family. If others discover that he possesses these two flying swords, the Akagi family will definitely come knocking on his door.

Xia Yuhui never considered selling them despite the risks. Now that he is a weapon refiner, he can repair these flying swords once he is able to refine mid-grade magic weapons.

At that time, the two flying swords of the Akagi family will be forged and made into his own flying swords.

Besides some useless cultivation techniques, Xia Yuhui also obtained three jade slips, one of which was a cultivation technique practiced by that group of evil cultivators, called "Ghost Cry Technique," which could be cultivated up to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Xia Yuhui speculated that this Ghost Crying Technique must have been taught by that Ghostly Taoist. Perhaps he could study it, but he would never practice it.

The two jade slips, one inside and one outside, are not cultivation techniques. One of them records the method of refining evil spirits, while the other is the technique of refining lesser ghosts.

However, both of these refining processes are quite evil, as they involve killing cultivators, extracting their cultivated souls, and then refining them into evil spirits.

However, the method for refining the imp was somewhat special, and the jade slip recorded the steps for refining the imp in detail.

First, a newborn child less than an hour old with spiritual roots must be found. Then, the child's soul is extracted and refined into a ghost through a special method.

Although this little devil cannot use magic to attack people, it is incredibly fast and contains ghost poison in its belly.

Last time, Xia Yuhui was poisoned by the little ghost, but fortunately, with the help of the Green Soul Lamp, he was able to safely extract the ghost poison.

Xia Yuhui would never do those evil deeds, but he learned how to steal a ghost from the method of refining ghosts.

However, this requires the caster's spiritual power to be several times stronger than the little ghost's master. Such demanding conditions, however, did not stump Xia Yuhui.

After all, Xia Yuhui had obtained six evil spirits and five souls after this great battle.

Within a month, the Azure Soul Lamp had completely transformed these souls into his divine consciousness.

At this moment, his spiritual sense was more than twice as strong as before. Although he was only a Qi Refining Stage 7 cultivator, his spiritual sense was no weaker than that of a Qi Refining Stage 9 cultivator at its peak.

A strong spiritual sense means that his combat power will increase even further.

Xia Yuhui immediately decided that if he encountered this group of evil cultivators again, he would definitely snatch their little ghost. After all, the little ghost was extremely useful, especially suitable for someone like Xia Yuhui.

After tidying up the useless items, Xia Yuhui finally took out the spirit needle that had almost cost him his life.
