Immortal Cultivation Families: The Rise of the Jinling Immortal Clan

Chapter 241 Heading to the Battlefield, Mingyue's Mission

The four sat around a stone table.

"Brother, who ultimately swapped that Foundation Establishment Pill?"

"He was replaced by Uncle Guangjian, who belongs to the Guang generation." Xia Yuhua's words revealed a hint of regret.

Six months ago, he had an accident while refining pills. For some reason, the process, which he had already repeated tens of thousands of times, went wrong.

In the end, he could only helplessly save one Foundation Establishment Pill in the furnace, while the rest were all destroyed.

Therefore, he only obtained one Foundation Establishment Pill from that batch. Otherwise, perhaps the Xia family could have produced a few more Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Xia Yuhui nodded in agreement. Xia Guangjian was ranked thirteenth among the Guang generation. He was diligent and hardworking and had made some contributions to the family. The Foundation Establishment Pill should rightfully belong to him.

"Yes, may they all get what they want and successfully break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Don't worry, they each received a bottle of Vitality Elixir, they'll definitely succeed soon," Xia Yuren said casually.

With the help of the Vitality Elixir, the probability of successfully establishing a foundation is over 60%. In addition, the Xia family has rich experience in establishing foundations, so these people are likely to all break through.

Of course, things are unpredictable, and the path to Foundation Establishment is always full of variables. There is a record in the Xia family's Scripture Pavilion that a cultivator with a different spiritual root died suddenly during the tribulation of breaking through to Foundation Establishment because he was too arrogant and did not make any preparations.

And that cultivator with the unique spiritual root was exceptionally talented, and happened to be from the State of Chu.

"I hope so. I will be setting off today. I will probably be gone for three to five years. During this time, I entrust the family to you. Remember, you must not go out. Even if the family is attacked, send the message directly to the Tianyao Alliance and ask them to help."

"Sigh, alright, alright, you've said these things so many times already. We're older than you, we know what's going on. You're always getting entangled with the Akagi family, they'll definitely take the opportunity to retaliate. Why would we be stupid enough to go out and die?"

Xia Yuhui shook his head with a helpless smile and turned his gaze to Xia Yuhua.

Xia Yuhua nodded slightly to him, clearly having taken his words to heart.

Xia Yuhui stood up and smiled slightly at them.

“You are more knowledgeable about matters on the battlefield than we are, so I won’t go into details. Just be careful,” Xia Yuhua said as she stood up.

"Fifth Uncle, take care on your journey!" Xia Lianghe also said goodbye.

"it is good!"

Afterwards, the four of them left one after another and went their separate ways. Xia Yuhui then rushed to the treasure vault and took away 30,000 spirit stones.

Immediately afterwards, he mounted the Lion Rock Roar, which he hadn't ridden in a long time, and sped off towards Jinling Market in a very discreet manner.

As he approached his destination, he left Lion Rock Roar outside and quietly flew into the market alone.

In a short while, he arrived at a cave dwelling in the market. This cave dwelling was prepared by the Xia family specifically for the cultivators sent here by the Hei family.

Currently residing there is Kuroda Zen of the Kuro family. He is a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. According to the Xia family's intelligence, he is not skilled in combat but is a talisman maker.

"Fellow Daoist, I, Xia, have come to pay my respects!"

After Xia Yuhui finished speaking, the formation was activated, and a slightly plump and kind-looking middle-aged man walked out.

"Kuroda Zen greets Elder Xia." Upon seeing Xia Yuhui, Kuroda Zen immediately bowed, his attitude extremely respectful.

Now that Xia Yuhui is renowned in the ancient country, his actions are also intended to establish a good relationship with Xia Yuhui.

"You're too kind, fellow gangster." Xia Yuhui smiled slightly.

A short while later, Kuroda Zen led him into the cave and poured him a cup of fragrant spiritual tea.

"Fellow Daoist, I am about to go to the battlefield today, and I have come here to ask for your help."

Although Kuroda Zen had already guessed Xia Yuhui's purpose, he immediately replied, "Don't worry, with me here, the Jin family and the Akagi family will never dare to make a move against the Xia family. Every now and then, I will go and warn the two families."

This mission was personally assigned to him by Hei Zhenlong. Before he left, Hei Zhenlong made it clear to him the importance of this mission, so he would never allow any accidents to happen.

It should be noted that, for this matter, Hei Zhenlong even gave him a token representing his identity and instructed him to use the token to intimidate the enemy if necessary.

"In that case, thank you very much, fellow Daoist. Consider these spirit stones as payment for your tea."

After he finished speaking, a storage bag appeared on the table, containing one thousand spirit stones.

Kuroda Zen thought for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips as he readily accepted the gift. Relationship? Isn't it just that you need something from me, and I need something from you?

Although he didn't care about the amount of spirit stones, he still needed to prove his determination to Xia Yuhui. How could he demonstrate his resolve if he didn't accept them?

The two chatted for a while longer, and then Xia Yuhui disappeared from the market like a ghost.

After that, he rode his Lion Rock Horse like an arrow and galloped towards Heshan County.

……

In a remote, untouched forest in Heshan County, the bright moon fell from the sky like a shooting star. It looked around, breathed a sigh of relief, and a barely perceptible hint of joy appeared on its face.

"Finally, we've shaken them off."

Since Xia Yuhui gave it the task, it has been rushing to the State of Chu without stopping.

With war imminent, the Chu Kingdom had already gathered a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators, which undoubtedly gave it more opportunities to strike.

Not long after, after months of waiting patiently, it finally found a good opportunity and successfully caught sight of a lone Foundation Establishment cultivator.

More importantly, the intelligence obtained through soul searching revealed that this person was actually from the Ye family of the Chu state. The Ye family was a true hegemon in the Chu state; if they could capture him and search his soul, what intelligence couldn't they obtain?

In an instant, the bright moon launched a sneak attack on him like a ghost. Since it was a ghost, its methods were insidious and cunning. In just a few moves, the cultivator was easily defeated by it.

However, at that very moment, four Foundation Establishment cultivators surged forth from the four directions—east, west, south, and north—like a tidal wave, rushing towards it with lightning speed.

It is obvious that this is an elaborate trap, a snare specifically designed for Mingyue.

Seeing that the newcomers were all at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, Mingyue was terrified. She quickly grabbed the man and used a special ghost technique to easily escape from the encirclement.

During its escape, it looked back on the past, and its thoughts surged like a tide, and it quickly realized why it had been ambushed.

During its months in Chu, it killed two groups of cultivators in order to obtain intelligence. It was initially pleased with itself, thinking that it had done a flawless job. Now, it realizes that its mentality was incredibly foolish.

But it never imagined that these people would lay such a trap for it for a mere few Qi Refining cultivators.

After running for a while, Mingyue realized that the four people behind her were like a persistent leech, relentlessly pursuing her, and she became increasingly anxious.

Having learned the escape techniques of the Spirit Ghost Taoist, it should have been adept at fleeing, but the four people behind it also seemed to possess unique secret methods.

After it finally managed to shake off the four people and wanted to rest for a while before conducting a soul search, the four people clung to it like glue, making it extremely annoyed.

Clearly, the four people behind it possessed tracking techniques, and its aura had already been firmly locked onto.
