Immortal Cultivation Families: The Rise of the Jinling Immortal Clan

Half a day later, the three of them had ventured deep into the territory under the jurisdiction of the Guiyun Sect. They had even spotted several cultivators dressed in the outer disciple robes of the Guiyun Sect. It was at this moment that Xia Guang signaled the two of them to stop.

The three looked back and saw that the three people who claimed to be cultivators from the Shen family were about to arrive. Judging from the current situation, these three people must be cultivators from the Shen family.

As the three approached, Xia Guangzheng immediately put on what he considered a composed smile and said to the three cultivators in front of him, "Greetings, fellow Daoists. We are three cultivators from the Xia family of Jinling County. We encountered villains on the way, so we are on high alert. We hope you will not take offense."

Of the three cultivators opposite, the one in the middle with the long beard was clearly the leader. The leader showed no anger and returned the greeting with a smile.

"So you are cultivators from the Xia family. I am Shen Xinyang from the Shen family. This is Shen Xinwen next to me, and this is my niece, Shen Yunqing."

"My name is Xia Guangzheng, and these two behind me are my juniors, Yu Hui and Yu Feng." Seeing that the three members of the Shen family had all introduced themselves, Xia Guangzheng introduced himself somewhat embarrassedly.

Shen Xinyang: "Haha, these two juniors are truly outstanding individuals. At such a young age, they have cultivated to such a level, and their true essence is abundant and powerful. They are indeed on track to reach the Foundation Establishment stage!"

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. I am no match for the prodigy of the Shen family."

"..."

"Fellow Daoist, since you are going to the Guiyuan Sect to accept a mission just like us, why don't we go together?" After the two finished their mutual flattery, Shen Xinyang finally revealed his purpose.

"my pleasure!"

So the six of them flew together on their swords to Guiyun Sect. Along the way, they encountered many Guiyun Sect cultivators, and even occasionally met one or two Foundation Establishment cultivators. When they met the six of them, they would bow from afar, not daring to be the slightest bit impolite.

"Have you come to the mountain gate to receive a mission, fellow Daoists?" Upon arriving at the entrance of Guiyun Mountain, an outer disciple stepped forward to inquire.

Upon seeing this, the six people immediately took out their family identity tokens and presented them.

After inspecting them one by one, the outer disciple bowed to the six people and said, "Then please follow me inside. When you follow me, I hope you will not use your magic power to avoid triggering the restrictions, which I will be unable to close at that time."

All six agreed.

Immediately afterwards, the outer disciple released a hawk beast from the beast-taming bag, then leaped onto its back, and the hawk beast immediately flapped its wings and took flight.

This outer disciple was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and was obviously unable to fly on a sword. This Azure Eagle Beast was exclusive to the Guiyun Sect and was used as a means of transportation for outer disciples.

Upon entering the sect, Xia Yuhui immediately felt the surrounding spiritual energy become several times denser. He even felt that if he meditated and cultivated here at this moment, he could achieve rapid progress in his cultivation without the aid of pills, relying solely on the spiritual energy.

He even considered joining the Guiyun Sect, but ultimately dismissed the idea with a wry smile. Although the resources within a sect far surpass those within a family, families also have their advantages.

He had some understanding of sects and was well aware of their various systems. It could be said that if he were to actually enter a sect to cultivate, his cultivation speed might not be as fast as if he were cultivating within his family.

Two incense sticks later, the seven arrived at the mountainside, where more than a hundred cultivators dressed in various costumes were meditating and cultivating. Clearly, these were all family cultivators.

As Xia Yuhui subconsciously scanned the group of people again with his divine sense, he suddenly spotted a familiar face, which stirred a murderous intent within him.

Just then, Xia Guangzheng suddenly patted him. He instantly snapped back to his senses, immediately suppressed his murderous intent, and turned his head away as if nothing had happened, no longer looking at the man.

The reason Xia Yuhui is in this state is Cai Tingxiang of the Cai family.

At this moment, Cai Tingxiang seemed to have noticed something as well, and involuntarily looked in the direction where Xia Yuhui was.

Upon spotting Xia Yuhui, he flashed his pearly white teeth. However, when he saw Xia Guangzheng, his heart sank involuntarily.

Xia Guang is quite famous in their Jinling County. He is known for his ruthless fighting style.

He once defeated a rogue cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining when he was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and since then, his fame has spread far and wide. All the family cultivators of Xia Guangzheng's generation have heard of him.

If he were to truly fight Xia Guangzheng, he would certainly be no match for him. However, he shifted his gaze to his cousin who was meditating beside him, and couldn't help but smile.

His cousin's name was Cai Tingding, the third in the Ting generation, and he was also a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Although his reputation wasn't as good as Xia Guangzheng's, he believed Cai Tingding's strength was not much less than Xia Guangzheng's. If he could team up with Cai Tingding to deal with Xia Guangzheng, he was 70% confident he could kill him outright.

Just as Cai Tingxiang was lost in thought, Xia Yuhui, far away, also drifted off into the distance. At that moment, his thoughts were exactly the same as Cai Tingxiang's.

Just then, the three members of the Shen family saw some familiar fellow Daoists, so they immediately bid farewell to Xia Guangzheng and headed towards their acquaintances in the distance.

Watching the three members of the Shen family walk away, Xia Guangzheng sighed helplessly and transmitted his voice to the two of them, saying, "Alas! Originally, I had many familiar fellow Daoists among this group, and some families even had marriage alliances with our Xia family. However, since the family lost power and was besieged by the Chi Mu and Cai families, we have lost contact with these people. Now, even if we meet, we can only pretend not to know each other."

Xia Yufeng: "Fifth Uncle, they are unwilling to have any contact with the Xia family's downstream relatives, and the Xia family also disdains to have any involvement with such despicable people."

"Alas, I tell you all these things not so that you may know how despicable these people are, but so that you may understand that apart from your family and yourselves, you should not trust anyone else."

Xia Yuhui looked expressionlessly at the sounds of people chatting, laughing, meditating, and discussing the mission around him. He slowly sat down and began to close his eyes to rest.

Based on his past life experiences, Xia Yuhui knew that making friends with many fellow cultivators had many benefits, such as access to information. If one cultivated alone, it would be difficult to obtain information beneficial to one's own cultivation; this was an invisible opportunity.

If they get along well, they can even discuss cultivation principles and exchange insights, which would greatly benefit their own cultivation. However, Xia Yuhui also knows that such things will only come to him once he has the strength and power. What he needs to do now is to strive to improve his cultivation and hope to achieve this goal as soon as possible.

Before long, three bell tolls echoed around, and the meditating cultivators quickly rose and looked around. Sure enough, on a huge stone platform, there were already more than a hundred late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

Xia Yuhui looked into the crowd and spotted a familiar face. This person was Xia Guangyan, the seventh in the Guang generation.

As for Xia Yuhui, he was quite unfamiliar with this clan uncle. After all, the two had only met twice, and both times it was when Xia Guangyan returned to the family for business. At that time, Xia Yuhui only greeted him politely.
