Immortal Cultivation Families: The Rise of the Jinling Immortal Clan

Of course, Xia Yuhui did not take it in his hand rashly. Instead, he manipulated the flying needle to fly in front of him and examined it carefully.

To this day, the poison on the flying needle remains black and even emits a nauseating odor.

Xia Yuhui instantly understood that this was a mid-grade flying needle magic weapon, and the poison on the flying needle must have been made by this evil cultivator himself.

Xia Yuhui had just searched through the man's storage bag again, but had not found the method for making poison.

Xia Yuhui had no choice but to give up. Instead of removing the poison from the flying needle, he put it directly into a box and tucked it into his sleeve, so that he could quickly retrieve it during the battle.

After processing today's harvest, Xia Yuhui took out the refining furnace he had purchased a month ago, along with the refining materials. There were five sets of these materials, all of which were for refining low-grade flying swords.

After adjusting his mindset, Xia Yuhui immediately took out several bundles of spirit wood and began his weapon-refining journey.

Seven days later,

Xia Yuhui gazed at his results with satisfaction. Four out of five sets of materials were successful, a success rate that was astonishing. Xia Yuhui even thought that his third uncle would find it difficult to achieve such a level.

With this in mind, his mood gradually calmed down. With his current success rate, he was already able to attempt to refine a mid-grade magic weapon.

After all, he is currently extremely lacking in magical artifacts. If he can successfully refine a mid-grade magical artifact and maintain such a high success rate, then in a few years, he will be able to purchase a high-grade magical artifact. Even in thirty or forty years, he may well try to buy Foundation Establishment Pills.

Without hesitation, Xia Yuhui immediately mounted his sword and sped towards Panyun Market, where he needed to purchase materials for refining mid-grade magic weapons.

Several hours later, Xia Yuhui randomly found a shop and sold the four low-grade magic artifacts he had successfully crafted over the past few days for 120 spirit stones.

As for why he didn't sell them at Wanfu Pavilion, it was naturally because Xia Yuhui didn't want to reveal his success rate in refining magical artifacts.

After obtaining the spirit stones, Xia Yuhui quickly went to Wanfu Pavilion and explained his purpose and needs to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper immediately took out thirty sets of materials and handed them to Xia Yuhui. Ten of these sets were materials for refining mid-grade magic weapons, and the other twenty sets were materials for refining low-grade magic weapons.

"Fellow Daoist, you only purchased five sets of materials from our shop last time. Now you've come to buy more. I presume the materials from last time have already been refined. I wonder what the success rate was?"

"Alas, it's hard to sum it up in a few words. However, the refining materials I purchased this time are not for my own use, but rather on behalf of my elders."

"Oh, could it be that you are from one of the four great families of Jinling?"

The shopkeeper didn't suspect anything and changed the subject. Besides managing the shops for the sect, these shopkeepers also had another task: to gather information. If they could find important information, the sect would reward them.

"I did aspire to become a member of one of the four great families, but alas, I was born into the wrong family, a family with only a few Qi Refining cultivators. I fear I will never even reach the Foundation Establishment stage," Xia Yuhui replied calmly, without any sign of distress.

"Fellow Daoist, do not underestimate yourself. Although you are wearing a mask, I can still sense your presence. Fellow Daoist is still young. Although you cannot establish your foundation, it is not difficult for you to cultivate to the peak of Qi Refining."

"Thank you for your kind words, shopkeeper. I have been in seclusion for cultivation recently. I wonder if any major events have occurred in the cultivation world of the ancient kingdom in the past few years. Just now, I found in the market that the prices of various magical artifacts and pills have all increased."

The shopkeeper sighed and recounted the whole story: "Recently, the group of demonic beasts in the Northern Frontier seems to be preparing to launch another beast tide. As you know, our ancient kingdom is located on the border. Once these beasts launch a beast tide, our ancient kingdom will be the first to suffer. Now, all the major forces that have heard the news have begun to stockpile supplies, so all kinds of strategic resources have started to rise in price."

Upon hearing that a beast tide was about to erupt, Xia Yuhui's expression instantly turned solemn. If they could not overcome this crisis, given the current strength of their clan, they would probably be on the verge of extinction.

Although their Jinling County is not on the border of the ancient kingdom, it is adjacent to Qingshui County. Once a beast tide breaks out, Guiyun Sect will definitely summon these family disciples to serve as cannon fodder at the first opportunity.

After all, the Guiyun Sect acted in the same way during a beast tide hundreds of years ago.

However, last time, because a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Xia family served as a steward in the Guiyun Sect, the cultivators from the family who went into battle were arranged to stay in the rear, which prevented major casualties.

However, this time, the Xia family has no one left in the sect. If a beast tide really breaks out, Guiyun Sect will definitely push them out as cannon fodder immediately.

Thinking of this, Xia Yuhui's face darkened. The shopkeeper saw through his thoughts and immediately comforted him, "Fellow Daoist, do not panic. According to the information from the sect, even if this beast tide really breaks out, it will still take five or six years to prepare."

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Xia Yuhui felt somewhat relieved, but he was still worried about the future of his family.

Although he has a great opportunity now, if he spends five or six years cultivating, he can at most reach the eighth level of Qi Refining. When he is sent to the battlefield, he will only be a slightly larger cannon fodder.

Thinking of this, Xia Yuhui immediately took his leave and went straight into the alley after leaving the house. When he came out of another alley, he had changed his clothes.

Seeing that the prices on the stalls were nearly 20% higher than before, Xia Yuhui immediately headed towards the shop owned by the Xia family.

The Xia family's shop was no longer as deserted as before. Two or three cultivators came in one after another to choose their favorite items. Some bought pills, some bought magic tools, and some even bought pills, magic tools, and talismans all at once.

Logically speaking, with the shop doing so well, the Xia family cultivators inside should be overjoyed, but at this moment they were all frowning.

As soon as Xia Yuhui entered the shop, he greeted Xia Yurou, who was promoting magical artifacts, and then walked straight into the shop, only to bump into Xia Yuhua, who had just finished refining pills.

"Fifth brother, what brings you here again?"

"Brother, is the Second Elder here? I wish to ask him about the situation of the demonic beasts in the Northern Frontier."

"You're too late. The Second Elder went to a family meeting a few days ago and won't be back for a while," Xia Yuhua replied regretfully upon hearing that Xia Yuhui had come for this matter.

Upon hearing that he was late, Xia Yuhui's face immediately darkened, and he gave a wry smile, perhaps because he had been too hasty.

With his cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi Refining, he didn't need to worry about such things.

"Brother, what are the family's plans for this?" But he couldn't help but ask Xia Yuhua.

Xia Yuhua pondered for a moment, then said gravely, "According to the news from my seventh uncle in the Guiyun Sect, the demonic beasts in the Northern Frontier are very likely to be unleashing a beast tide. However, their gathering speed is indeed relatively slow this time. The Guiyun Sect has already dispatched cultivators to the Northern Frontier to investigate, and I believe news will arrive soon."
