Immortal Cultivation Families: The Rise of the Jinling Immortal Clan

Xia Yuhui: "I haven't broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining yet. My current cultivation is sufficient, but I should be breaking through soon. Right now, I've encountered a bottleneck, but fortunately, I bought a Breakthrough Pill at the market, and I'm preparing to try to break through in a few days."

"Hahaha, good lad, it's truly remarkable that you've caught up with our generation so quickly. It seems the family's revival is promising. It's a blessing for the family that you, such talented and devoted young men, have emerged from the Yu generation."

"By the way, your second brother is also about to break through, and Xiao Ba broke through to the sixth level of Qi Refining a few months ago. Now you are also about to break through. There are already three late-stage Qi Refining members in your generation. In a few years, there will be four."

"What? My second brother and eighth brother have both broken through. Then I must also break through as soon as possible, and I must not fall behind them." Xia Yuhui was also shocked by this news. He did not expect that there would be so many capable people in the Yu generation.

Xia Guang'en patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, "Don't be impatient. Breaking through a bottleneck requires a calm mind. Relax more. You can light a stick of spiritual incense when you break through to prevent your mind from becoming unstable."

"Yes, Uncle Fifteen, I will be careful. Among our generation, I am the most composed one."

"Alright, alright, I'll wait for your good news. Don't disappoint me then..."

Before leaving, Xia Guang'en left Xia Yuhui more than ten kilograms of spirit rice, which Xia Yuhui happily accepted.

Currently, he is only a Qi Refining cultivator and still needs to eat. Although he can use Bigu Pills to fill his stomach, spiritual rice is beneficial to cultivation. Therefore, the Xia family distributes some spiritual rice to all the cultivators in the family every month to improve their cultivation.

Xia Yuhui wouldn't normally receive this much spirit rice in a month, but who told him to take on such a lucrative job?

On the third day, Xia Yuhui saw Xia Guangen off outside the formation. Before parting, he repeatedly told Xia Guangen to be careful and not to be seen by the Cai family.

After Xia Guang'en left, Xia Yuhui did not immediately break through the bottleneck. Instead, he spent a day adjusting his state of mind and continued cultivating only when he was in the best condition.

Five days later, the sun rose over the cabin.

After five days of cultivation, Xia Yuhui realized that given his current situation, there was no possibility of breaking through the bottleneck in a short time. After all, no matter how much he cultivated these past few days, he could not increase the amount of magic power in his body.

Now, he can only pin his hopes on the Breakthrough Pill.

Feeling that the time had come, Xia Yuhui decisively took the Breakthrough Pill. As soon as the pill entered his stomach, it transformed into a stream of pure spiritual energy, which slowly flowed into his already saturated dantian. After that, a stream of pure spiritual energy gathered and repeatedly challenged the bottleneck of the seventh level of Qi Refining.

The next day, after stabilizing his state of mind through meditation, Xia Yuhui slowly opened his eyes, stood up, and showed a satisfied expression on his face.

He moved and pushed open the wooden door, walked to the chair next to the spirit field and sat down. With a flick of his sleeve, a cup of brewed spirit tea flew into his hand.

Gazing at the newly sprouted buds on the spiritual field, he felt his state of mind be elevated.

Indeed, there's a reason why it's expensive. Although this Breakthrough Pill is pricey, its effects are truly remarkable, successfully helping me break through to the next level.

Feeling the powerful magic flowing through his body, Xia Yuhui sipped his tea while pondering the future direction of development.

Now that I have broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining, it is time to plan my future path. As my divine sense continues to increase, I will surely be able to use multiple magical artifacts to defend against enemies in the future.

However, magical artifacts are expensive, and although he has now broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, his monthly salary of only 14 spirit stones makes it difficult for him to purchase one.

Even if he could buy them, he couldn't possibly use all his spirit stones for this.

As for the idea of ​​killing and robbing, it's just a thought.

It must be understood that there are always people more capable than oneself, and there is always something beyond one's understanding. Even though one's own strength is already quite formidable, it is still insufficient in the face of true masters.

For example, Xia Yuhua, the eldest brother of the Xia family with the character "Yu" in his name, was an alchemist who could refine first-grade mid-level pills. Therefore, he had plenty of spirit stones and purchased many killing spirit items to carry with him.

Therefore, Xia Yuhua, having just entered the late stage of Qi Refining, was able to steadily suppress Xia Guang'en, a veteran late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

This shows that combat power is not simply determined by the level of cultivation, but also by various means of killing, such as techniques, spells, and magical artifacts.

Just like the two rogue cultivators who were robbed last time, not only were their magical artifacts inferior, but their cultivation techniques were also commonplace.

Although Xia Yuhui was not an outstanding individual, his cultivation techniques were quite good. His "Blazing Fire Technique" was a technique that excelled in killing, and the Fire Serpent Technique was a complementary spell to the "Blazing Fire Technique." Not to mention, he could also unleash crimson lightning. Therefore, the two rogue cultivators appeared so insignificant in front of Xia Yuhui.

Therefore, what Xia Yuhui needs right now is to find a way to obtain spirit stones sustainably. Since he studied weapon crafting in the past, he still needs to start from this point.

He is now full of confidence, because his spiritual sense has greatly increased compared to the past. It should be noted that in the world of cultivation, a strong spiritual sense is of great benefit to refining weapons, alchemy, and talisman making.

The forging furnaces he used when he was learning weapon crafting all belonged to his family. Now that he has left the family, he can only buy one himself.

A high-quality refining furnace requires at least two hundred spirit stones. With Xia Yuhui's current wealth, he can afford a refining furnace, but what about the materials needed for refining?

Thinking of this, Xia Yuhui couldn't help but sigh heavily again. However, after a short while, he adjusted his mindset and took out a book on sword control techniques to study.

Now that he is a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, he can briefly fly on a sword, so he should learn this technique.

More than a month later, Xia Yuhui was flying in the sky on his sword. By this time, he had mastered the art of sword control.

After experiencing the feeling of flying in the sky again, Xia Yuhui slowly descended from the air, then put the flying sword into his storage bag and stepped into his small wooden house.

Within a month, he not only learned the art of sword control, but also refined the Qingyang Shield, a first-grade high-quality defensive magic weapon he had purchased in the market.

With his current spiritual sense, he is fully capable of unleashing the power of this defensive magic weapon, and he can also control three additional mid-grade flying swords with ease. This will give him the upper hand in battles against cultivators of the same level.

The next morning, Xia Yuhui, dressed in a black robe to conceal his face, flew straight to Panyun Market on his sword.

His purpose for this trip was clear: to purchase a weapon-refining furnace, and if he had any spirit stones left over, he could also buy some materials.

Upon arriving at the market, Xia Yuhui went straight to Wanfu Pavilion. After entering the pavilion, another woman came forward to greet him, but she was not the same one as before.

"What does this fellow Daoist wish to purchase?" the woman asked.

Xia Yuhui spoke frankly: "My lady, I wish to purchase a weapon-refining furnace."

Upon hearing this, the woman's eyes lit up instantly, and she immediately led Xia Yuhui to the shopkeeper from before. After explaining Xia Yuhui's situation to the shopkeeper, the woman hurriedly left.

The shopkeeper looked at Xia Yuhui with a half-smile, clearly recognizing him. After all, cultivators have exceptional memories; the shopkeeper recognized Xia Yuhui based solely on his aura from the last time.

However, he didn't say much to Xia Yuhui, but instead took out three refining furnaces. After comparing them, Xia Yuhui finally chose the first-tier mid-grade molten furnace, which cost 220 spirit stones.

"Shopkeeper, may I try it myself?" Xia Yuhui held it in his hand and examined it for a moment before speaking to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper agreed, "Of course, fellow Daoist, please bring your furnace and come with me."

The shopkeeper led him to a basement and then turned to Xia Yuhui, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you may try out the effects of this furnace, but you will need to purchase the materials yourself with spirit stones. Of course, you may bring your own if you wish."

Xia Yuhui then purchased another set of materials for forging flying swords from the shopkeeper and went straight in.

Upon entering, Xia Yuhui immediately noticed that there was a defensive formation set up inside, and a mass of magma in the center, clearly indicating that it was a secret chamber specifically designed for weapon forging.

Xia Yuhui did not rush to forge the weapon. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the ground, recalled the process of his previous forging attempts, and went through it in his mind before activating the array in the room.
