Immortal Cultivation Families: The Rise of the Jinling Immortal Clan

After Xia Yuhui left, Xia Guangyao, the leader of the Guang generation who had always been a towering figure in front of Xia Yuhui, finally couldn't contain himself, stopped refining his weapon, and began to sob...

On the way back to the cave, raindrops suddenly began to fall from the sky. Looking at the beautiful scenery of the tribe's land, where spring seemed to last all year round, Xia Yuhui suddenly felt like taking a stroll and began to walk alone in the rain.

When he reached a secluded cliff, a sense of melancholy washed over him. He thought to himself that the number of his clan members had decreased significantly compared to the past, which reminded him of the recent events: his defeat in the battle for the Crimson Fruit, which resulted in severe injuries; the attack on his clan; and his third uncle's failure to achieve Foundation Establishment.

"Alas, only today do I realize how rugged and difficult the path of cultivation is. However, I have long ago resolved to live forever. Though countless thorns may harm my body, they can never harm my heart!"

Having said that, he unleashed his full power, shouting to the heavens, "Stop!"

Instantly, the rain within a three-zhang radius around the area stopped abruptly.

"Hahaha, I can't protect my family, and I can't even spare a thought for Jinling County, but right now I can control this small area, and in the future I will be able to control even more, hahaha! That's enough." Seeing this, Xia Yuhui laughed loudly, seemingly both hysterical and venting his frustration…

After returning to his cave, Xia Yuhui made some adjustments, then took out a spirit peach from his storage bag and began to eat it without hesitation.

In an instant, a pure spiritual energy flowed from his mouth into his stomach, and then spread throughout his body, making Xia Yuhui feel completely comfortable.

Xia Yuhui dared not delay for a moment and immediately began to circulate his cultivation technique to refine this pure spiritual energy.

Five days later, Xia Yuhui successfully refined the spirit peach, and his cultivation level also improved significantly. He believed that as long as he refined two more spirit peaches, he could directly advance to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

Originally, Xia Yuhui planned to go into seclusion and wait until he reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining before emerging. However, a few days ago, he received a message from his elder brother that Yan Hanyun had found the evil cultivators and therefore invited him to help.

Initially, Xia Yuhui dared not take any more risks, after all, he had completely offended the Cai family and the Chimu family. If his whereabouts were exposed, he would probably be hunted down by Foundation Establishment cultivators.

However, given the commotion caused by Clan Chief Xia Lingshan recently, the Cai and Chi Mu families will likely no longer dare to act recklessly.

It turns out that a few days ago, Xia Lingshan suddenly broke into the territory of the Cai family and the Chimu family and went on a killing spree. He killed nearly thirty members of the two families.

This move immediately ignited the anger of both families. Just as the three parties were about to come to blows, the Jin family finally couldn't hold back and hurriedly stepped in to act as peacemakers, mediating the conflict between the two families.

Ultimately, Xia Lingshan made a demand: the Foundation Establishment cultivators from both families were forbidden from leaving their caves to retaliate against the Xia family. The two families naturally refused to agree, but the Jin family, given that the two families had provoked them first, agreed to the demand.

Left with no other choice, the two sides had to agree. After all, starting a war at this time would not benefit either side, especially since it was a tense period, with most of the monsters in the northern border already gathered, and a beast tide might break out in a few years or months.

Guiyun Sect will inevitably send them into battle, so starting a war at this time would be unwise.

The Jin family is no saint either; they're only in this situation because the war between the other three families is detrimental to them. In recent months, due to these three families, the market's population has dwindled by more than half. If this isn't stopped, the Jin family may find it difficult to make a living. After all, in these crucial times, spirit stones are the most lucrative commodity.

Given Xia Yuhui's cautious nature, he would never have taken such a risk so easily.

However, three reasons put his mind at ease. First, the group of cultivators was not far from the Xia family, located at the border with the Cai family. Second, he firmly believed that Yan Hanyun would not dare to scheme against him, and he learned from Yan Hanyun that he had not revealed his identity to anyone else. Therefore, apart from Yan Hanyun and his two subordinates, no one else knew that he would go to help Yan Hanyun. Third, according to the information conveyed by Xia Yuhua, there was no news of any movement from either family's cultivators.

Once everything was ready, Xia Yuhui went as agreed.

A day later, outside an ordinary village on the border between the Cai and Xia families, dozens of cultivators were gathered together, seemingly waiting for someone, occasionally using their divine sense to probe their surroundings.

“Fellow Daoist Yan, why hasn’t that cultivator you mentioned shown himself yet? More than half a day has passed. If this doesn’t work, we should make our move. With our strength, we are more than capable of dealing with the person inside.” A cultivator dressed in black robes couldn’t hold back any longer and spoke up.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, please be patient, he should be arriving soon." Although Yan Hanyun said this, he was already getting anxious. He had clearly told Xia Yuhui to come earlier, but now it had been delayed by half a day.

The two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators standing behind him also became serious, and beads of cold sweat appeared on their foreheads.

Nearly five miles away from them, a group of cultivators were observing the commotion from a mountain. They were completely enveloped by a light barrier, which was clearly an array.

If Xia Yuhui were here, he would be astonished. There are more than 20 cultivators here, all of whom are in the late stage of Qi Refining, and five of them are at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

"Brother, is that kid not coming?" Cai Tingxiang couldn't help but ask a cultivator beside him.

Cai Tingsheng was also very puzzled. According to the time, Xia Yuhui should have arrived long ago, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Although he was slightly uneasy, he still said, "Don't worry, that kid won't refuse to do things for people after accepting their spirit stones. Let's wait and see."

“Yes, Brother Tingsheng is right. This kid’s personality will definitely lead him to come.” Akagi Akio, the leader of the Akagi family who was also at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, said on the left.

Seeing that both of them had spoken, the others could only remain silent and continue to observe.

However, at that moment they saw a mortal climbing the mountain, presumably to gather herbs.

Upon seeing this, Cai Tingxiang quickly activated his formation to finish him off, but Cai Tingsheng stopped him, saying, "Forget it, let's not alert him. That mortal can't see us, so let him go."

“Yes, Tingxiang, don’t be so impulsive. Why do you get so agitated whenever it comes to Xia Yuhui?” Cai Tingding, who was already at the ninth level of Qi Refining, also advised him.

Cai Tingxiang then suppressed his urge to kill the mortal.

However, to their utter surprise, it was this mortal who ultimately ruined their plans.

Four hours later, the mortal had already appeared in a valley in the distance.

“Immortal, something’s wrong. When I was passing by a mountain, I felt a warm sensation coming from the talisman stuck to my back.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhui's anger was palpable. Finally, he suppressed his anger and smiled at the mortal, "Wang Er, right? Very good, you did a great job. Since that's the case, I'll do you a favor. Just tell me, even if you ask for some longevity elixirs, I'll give them to you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Er did not hesitate at all and immediately knelt down, pleading, "Please, immortal, save my father!"

Xia Yuhui was originally preparing to take out a few pills from his storage bag and give them to Wang Er, but he was immediately stunned when Wang Er said those words.
