Immortal Cultivation Families: The Rise of the Jinling Immortal Clan

"Even if that old dog really wants to settle this matter, Xia Yuhui won't agree. He's not dead yet, so there's no way this matter can be settled." Xia Yuhui cursed inwardly.

However, Xia Yuhui dared not speak these thoughts aloud. He knew a principle: arrogance invites disaster, and many things do not need to be said; it is enough to keep them in one's heart.

After the Cai family members finally left, Xia Guangyao and his two companions slowly descended from the sky.

"Good lad, after all these years, you've given me such a pleasant surprise. Did you kill those three boys from the Cai family?"

Xia Yuhui said with a serious expression, "Third Uncle, I really don't know why they died, so why would I kill them?"

Xia Guang'en said, "Good lad, still pretending to be stupid with us. Those beasts from the Cai family all believe you are the murderer. With the Cai family around, it's fine if you don't admit it. Why pretend in front of your own family?"

Xia Guangze, however, had a different opinion: "Xiao Wu, don't listen to your fifteenth uncle. People like him are destined not to live long. People like you are more suitable for the cultivation world."

"Oh, Ninth Brother, what you said is a bit too harsh."

Xia Guangyao said, "Alright, alright, let's go inside and talk about it first."

After the four entered the formation, Xia Guangyao slowly advised Xia Yuhui: "Little Five, I know you have been precocious since childhood and have a strong sense of self. However, revenge must be carried out step by step and not rushed. You are similar to Little Eight in one aspect: you are both people who hold grudges. However, Little Eight is not a talkative person. Once he has made up his mind, nothing can change it. You are different. Remember, if you have no choice but to take action, you must consider all aspects carefully."

"I will remember this well."

Seeing that Xia Yuhui seemed to have really listened, Xia Guangyao changed the subject.

"Your mission deadline is approaching. Originally, the family did not intend to send the two of you, but after thinking about it again, we realized that without experiencing some hardships, you will not truly grow. You should know that flowers in a greenhouse may be beautiful, but they are not practical."

Xia Yuhui was immediately puzzled. After completing a mission, shouldn't he be able to stay in the clan for several months? Why was he being sent on another mission so hastily?

Seeing the look of confusion immediately appear on Xia Yuhui's face, Xia Guangyao sighed, "Alas, as you know, our family has been extremely short of manpower in recent years. But now, Guiyun Sect wants to select three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators from various vassal families, as well as some inner disciples from the sect, to form more than a dozen reconnaissance teams, led by the Foundation Establishment elders of Guiyun Sect, to go to the Northern Frontier to gather intelligence."

The family originally planned to send members of the "Guang" generation, but the old patriarch ultimately decided to send two members of the "Yu" generation and one member of the "Guang" generation. Finally, the Grand Elder decided to send you and Xiao Ba.

Xia Yuhui immediately realized that this mission was fraught with danger. Not only did he have to deal with the monsters of the northern frontier, but he also had to be constantly wary of the people in the team. Moreover, he was currently unsure of the extent to which this intelligence-gathering mission would go.

If they had to venture deep into the northern frontier, even with a Foundation Establishment cultivator leading the team, it would be a near-certain death.

As if he had already anticipated Xia Yuhui's concerns, Xia Guangyao continued, "Actually, this mission is not extremely dangerous. After all, the cultivators of Jinling County are only responsible for exploring one area, and they can return after the area is explored. As long as we closely follow that Foundation Establishment cultivator, the danger is not too great."

Hearing this, Xia Yuhui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then, Third Uncle, who is that person from the Guang generation?"

"That goes without saying, it must be that fifth brother who claims to be the most ruthless among the Guang generation." Xia Guangyao stroked his beard and said with a relaxed expression.

Xia Guang'en chimed in from the side, "Little Wu, you and Fifth Brother are both fifth in your family. You two are quite destined for each other. Not only are you the same in rank, but you also have similar personalities. You are both skilled in killing."

Xia Guangze: "What you say makes sense. I remember that when Fifth Brother was your age, he also killed a similar number of evil cultivators."

Xia Guangyao: "Alright, you two, don't interrupt. Just listen to me."

Seeing their third brother get angry, the two immediately fell silent.

Xia Guangyao: "Little Wu, although there is danger this time, the reward offered by the clan is quite generous. Even I was tempted, but the Grand Elder rejected my offer. After you complete this guarding mission, you can go to the clan to choose a high-grade killing magic weapon."

Upon hearing that a high-grade magic weapon was available, Xia Yuhui's eyes lit up instantly. He had originally intended to accumulate spirit stones to purchase it himself, but now, the magic weapon was delivered to his doorstep without him having to lift a finger.

Seeing Xia Yuhui's expression, Xia Guangyao was also pleased. He stroked his beard and said slowly, "Don't rush. You can choose when you return to the clan. The specific mission time is tentatively set for six months from now. You can start preparing now."

Xia Yuhui nodded repeatedly in agreement.

After handling the matter properly, the three of them immediately got up and returned, as there were still many matters in the clan that required their attention.

After the three left, Xia Yuhui immediately closed his small wooden house and took out the storage bag he had stolen. "That kid said he was the grandson of Cai Yuanyi, the eldest elder of the Cai family. There must be something good in that storage bag."

After spending some more time forcibly breaking through the high-quality storage bag's seal, Xia Yuhui first took out the mid-grade defensive shield he already knew about and a high-quality longsword. After examining them carefully, he smiled and said with delight, "As expected of the Grand Elder's grandson, he did not disappoint me."

After taking all the items out of the storage bag, Xia Yuhui began to organize them one by one.

This person contributed a total of over two hundred spirit stones, one high-grade Earth Trap Talisman, one high-grade Blazing Flame Talisman, several mid-grade talismans, and some scattered healing and detoxifying pills to Xia Yuhui.

As expected, there were still no cultivation techniques or spells.

The Cai family's management was so strict that even the eldest elder's grandson couldn't bring out the cultivation technique.

Fortunately, he also robbed Tiger Fang Forest of its possessions. He plans to sell the spirit bamboo after the storm has passed.

Of course, the mid-grade spirit bamboo is not for sale; it can be used to forge a few flying swords.

After all, spiritual bamboo, a spiritual material, is far superior to ordinary materials when used for refining artifacts, and superior materials mean that the quality of the finished artifacts will definitely be better than ordinary ones.

Without hesitation, Xia Yuhui began refining. He had harvested a total of five mid-grade spirit bamboos, enough to refine approximately ten flying swords.

Thinking of this, Xia Yuhui's mind began to race. Perhaps he could refine these ten flying swords into a complete set. After all, with his current divine sense, he was fully capable of controlling ten mid-grade flying swords. When all ten flying swords were unleashed at once, they could instantly throw the enemy into a panic.

Without further ado, Xia Yuhui took out the refining furnace, lit a fire, and began the refining process.
