Immortal Cultivation Families: The Rise of the Jinling Immortal Clan

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhui immediately responded calmly, "Please thank your young manager for me."

After the servant left, Chen Ruhai said, "Judging from this situation, this young manager seems to value Brother Xia quite a bit. Now that you have finished your meal, Brother Xia, please take this pot of spirit wine back with you."

Chen Ruhai knew perfectly well that this spirit wine was clearly a gift for Xia Yuhui, so why would he make a fool of himself?

Xia Yuhui did not refuse and directly put the spirit wine into his storage bag. During the process, he carefully observed its appearance and it should be of a higher quality than the spirit wine that the two of them had just drunk.

Afterwards, the two parted ways at the entrance of the restaurant, and Xia Yuhui returned home, rubbing his stomach with satisfaction.

After thinking it over, he realized that he would need to eat more of these spiritual foods in the future. At present, he was only a Qi Refining stage cultivator and still needed to eat. Therefore, he could only fill his stomach with Bigu Pills on weekdays, and his mouth had long been tasteless. This time, after tasting them, he felt much happier.

After returning to his family shop, Xia Yuhui greeted everyone and immediately sat down to meditate and cultivate, digesting and absorbing the spiritual food he had just eaten.

An hour later, seeing that Xia Yuhui's dantian had gained some more magical power, he nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to take advantage of his good mood to go to the weapon-refining room to refine a weapon.

Suddenly, a bearded man walked in through the door. Xia Yuhui said, "Third Uncle, what brings you here?"

Xia Guangyao said, "You brat, instead of refining weapons in the weapon-refining room, you've come here to slack off."

Despite this, he remained calm and composed, sitting upright on the stool and brewing himself a cup of spiritual tea. After the tea was ready, he responded to Xia Yuhui's earlier words, "Recently, Jinling County has been in some turmoil, so the family sent me here personally to deliver supplies. I have just handed the supplies over to Yuhua. You don't need to worry about being scolded for the poor quality of the magical artifacts you craft, because they will all buy my magical artifacts."

"Then I'll have to trouble Uncle San to make the trip himself." Xia Yuhui looked embarrassed and scratched his head.

"I have come here on another important matter. I heard that you have reached a bottleneck in your weapon crafting."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhui's eyes lit up, and he calmly replied, "That's right. I dare not hide it from you, Uncle. I have secretly refined high-grade magic weapons several times, but I always felt that something was lacking and failed repeatedly."

"Don't be so arrogant and waste spirit stones. It's good to know your own limitations. Come with me to the weapon-refining room."

The man entered the weapon-refining room, and Xia Guangyao immediately took down the weapon-refining furnace from the high platform and took out another weapon-refining furnace from his storage bag.

Xia Yuhui carefully examined the refining furnace and found that it was more advanced than the one he used. He figured it must be a high-grade magic weapon, and he couldn't help but feel a little envious. He took a few more glances at it.

He also knew that high-grade refining furnaces could greatly increase the success rate of refining weapons. However, both alchemy furnaces and weapon refining furnaces were extremely expensive, far beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators. Even a wealthy family cultivator like Xia Yuhui had not chosen to purchase a high-grade weapon refining furnace.

Xia Guangyao ignored Xia Yuhui's gaze and took out a set of materials from his storage bag. However, these were not materials for refining high-grade magic weapons, but rather materials for refining mid-grade defensive magic weapons.

Xia Yuhui immediately understood that Xia Guangyao was testing his skills with a mid-grade magic weapon first. However, Xia Yuhui watched with great seriousness. Although he had seen Xia Guangyao refine mid-grade magic weapons several times, watching it a few more times would always be beneficial.

In less than three hours, Xia Guangyao successfully crafted a defensive magic weapon of excellent quality, and Xia Guangyao showed some satisfaction.

In reality, his success rate was not high to begin with, let alone forging such a difficult mid-grade defensive magic weapon. Fortunately, he did not lose face in front of the younger generation today.

Xia Guangyao immediately handed the magical artifact to Xia Yuhui, instructing him to examine it carefully.

After obtaining the magical artifact, Xia Yuhui held it tightly in his hand and examined it carefully. Only after a long time did he return it.

At this moment, Xia Guangyao also awoke from his meditation, his condition having returned to its peak. After taking the magic weapon and putting it into his storage bag, he said to Xia Yuhui, "Alright, now I want to refine a high-grade magic weapon. I have brought six sets of materials with me. I will refine five sets myself, and you will be responsible for refining the last set. During this time, you will have an hour to ask me questions after each set is completed, and I will answer them one by one."

After saying this, the two immediately began refining the weapon. Before they started, Xia Yuhui placed three recording stones to record the whole process. In fact, such recording stones containing the process of refining qi and alchemy were also sold in the market, but the price was very high.

Naturally, all the inherited forces possess such items, and their family treasuries also contain them. Some even have a few recording stones that document the process of refining second-tier pills and crafting spiritual weapons. However, a huge amount of contribution points are required to view them. Xia Yuhui has already saved up some contribution points and wants to see them once, since the process of crafting spiritual weapons is of great help to him.

Of course, this recording stone is not perfect. It has its drawbacks. It can only record images and cannot record sound or the fluctuations of the atmosphere at the scene. However, alchemy and weapon crafting require both of these.

After nearly a month, the two emerged from the weapon-refining room, exhausted. Xia Yuhui had made great progress this time, resolving all the problems he had encountered in the past weapon-refining process. He was confident that if he were to refine weapons again now, his success rate would increase by half a percent, since his foundation was already extremely solid and he had the advantage of a strong divine sense, giving him a significant edge over ordinary people.

This time, Xia Guangyao used five sets of materials to refine weapons, and only one set was successfully completed. It was the last set, and Xia Guangyao had to add a large amount of spiritual liquid to make it successful.

Xia Yuhui originally had more than a dozen bottles of spiritual water in his hand. He thought that if he used more than a dozen bottles of spiritual water, he would have a great chance of refining a high-grade magic weapon.

To his surprise, Xia Guangyao added a suitable amount of spiritual water during all five refining processes.

However, this was only the last one that was barely successful, which is enough to show how difficult it is to forge weapons.

As for Xia Yuhui's last batch, he did not rush to forge the artifact. Instead, he planned to use the materials provided by his family to forge several more mid-grade magic artifacts for practice.

However, Xia Guangyao could no longer wait for him. After all, Xia Yuhui's practice would take three or four days, while Xia Guangyao was now the backbone of the family, even considered half an elder, and the family relied heavily on him. Therefore, Xia Guangyao had no choice but to leave first.

For the next two weeks, Xia Yuhui devoted himself to refining weapons, occasionally taking out the recording stone to review his work. Soon, he successfully refined ten sets of mid-grade materials, four of which were successful, and their quality was only slightly inferior to Xia Guangyao's. This was a significant improvement.

Successfully refining four out of ten materials is quite a haul. After all, ten materials can only be exchanged for a maximum of three magic artifacts, while Xia Yuhui essentially got a magic artifact for free. A mid-grade magic artifact costs between 100 and 150 spirit stones, so after deducting the portion given to the family, Xia Yuhui earned 40 spirit stones in these 15 days.

It should be noted that even if a rogue cultivator works himself to death for a year, he can only earn a dozen or so spirit stones at most.

Xia Yuhui regained some of his magical power and took out three sets of materials from his storage bag. These three sets of materials were naturally given to him by Chen Ruhai. Because he had been focused on refining weapons during this period, he had forgotten about Chen Ruhai. The clansmen outside the shop would probably say that Xia Yuhui was in seclusion, so Chen Ruhai had probably already left in anger.

Five days later, Xia Yuhui successfully refined a mid-grade defensive magic weapon from the three materials. He then handed it over to a cultivator in his family and instructed him to give the magic weapon to Chen Ruhai if he came again.

He then returned to the crafting workshop, this time to refine a high-grade magic weapon. Xia Yuhui took out three sets of materials from his storage bag. These three sets of materials were all for refining flying swords. Apart from one set given by his family, the rest were all purchased by Xia Yuhui himself.
