Immortal Cultivation Families: The Rise of the Jinling Immortal Clan

This matter must be traced back to a few days ago. Originally, Xia Yuhui intended to go directly to the appointment. Just as he was about to leave the family, he received a letter from Xia Yuhua. The letter emphasized that many late-stage Qi Refining cultivators from the Cai family and the Chimu family had suddenly disappeared, and instructed him not to go out in the coming days.

As for how Xia Yuhua knew this, it was a backup plan left by Xia Lingshan. He knew that the two Foundation Establishment cultivators would not make a move, but he could not guarantee that the two Qi Refining cultivators would not harm Xia Yuhui. Therefore, he sent many clansmen to pay close attention to the two Qi Refining cultivators and above, and thus sent the message here.

Afterwards, Xia Yuhui arrived at the appointed place but did not rush to meet the person. Instead, he first stopped a mortal gathering herbs in the nearby mountains and placed a high-grade first-level spirit-sealing talisman on the mortal's back, instructing him to gather herbs in the nearby mountains. Sure enough, the talisman issued a warning…

"I beg the immortal to save my father's life."

"Explain the whole story to me."

The mortal, overjoyed that the high and mighty immortal had agreed, wept with joy and immediately recounted the story.

It turns out that the family of three lived on a nearby mountain, making a living by farming, hunting, and gathering herbs. Although this kind of life could not make them rich, it was enough to keep them fed and clothed.

However, his good fortune didn't last long. A few months ago, Old Man Wang went hunting alone on a mountain a hundred miles away that he had never been before, but he never returned.

Originally, Wang Er wanted to find his father immediately, but his wife refused. Now, two months have passed, and Wang Er has spent these two months in self-blame. Now that he has seen Xia Yuhui, he immediately begs him to save his father.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhui immediately rolled his eyes. Two months had passed, and Old Man Wang had not yet returned. His remains had probably already been devoured by wild animals in the vicinity. How could he possibly save him?

“The immortal only needs to bring my father’s remains back, and I will certainly erect a longevity tablet for the immortal at home,” Wang Er added immediately, knowing the situation well.

"Alright, then I'll go with you on this trip."

Wang Er hurriedly and excitedly kowtowed repeatedly.

Before leaving, Xia Yuhui took a deep look ahead and said in a deep voice, "If I find the right method in the future, I will slaughter all enemies in all directions!"

After saying that, he grabbed Wang Er, summoned a flying boat from his storage bag, and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

An hour later, the two arrived at the foot of a towering mountain that seemed to reach into the clouds.

"Wang Er, are you sure your father disappeared in these mountains?"

“I am certain that I came here with my father before. We originally came here to hunt, but after searching at the foot of the mountain, we did not find any trace of wild animals, so we left. Later, for some reason, wild animals often appeared here, so my father came here to hunt last time.”

"Okay, wait for me here." After saying that, Xia Yuhui handed him a talisman. "You must hold this talisman tightly in your hand. If any wild beasts attack, drive them away."

After saying this, Xia Yuhui immediately leaped onto the flying boat and sped towards the mountains.

He had just been in the air and used his divine sense to survey the entire mountain. He found nothing unusual, so he flew at an extremely fast speed and soon arrived deep in the mountain.

Just as Xia Yuhui was looking around and occasionally using his divine sense to explore the surrounding situation.

When he tried to probe the area with his divine sense, he encountered a strange place. No matter how he probed with his divine sense, he could not perceive the situation inside, which made Xia Yuhui feel puzzled.

He rushed to the place, and as he got closer, Xia Yuhui saw a cloud of smoke enveloping the area.

"This is Yin energy!" Xia Yuhui's expression instantly turned serious. After all, he had never seen so much Yin energy gathered in one place, and so solid. What puzzled him even more was that this Yin energy had never dissipated.

He could see that there were no flowers, plants, or trees in the yin energy. Clearly, this place had long since become a desolate wasteland, which meant that this yin energy had appeared many years ago and had continued to exist until now.

Xia Yuhui quickly used his spiritual eye technique and slowly stepped into it.

The deeper they went, the more solid the Yin energy became, which made Xia Yuhui feel increasingly uncomfortable. This showed that the Yin energy was extremely dense, since it was rare for Yin energy to affect a Qi Refining cultivator who had reached the peak of Body Refinement.

However, Xia Yuhui did not stop there, but continued to move deeper into the area.

After traveling a distance, Xia Yuhui suddenly sensed a disturbance in his divine sense and immediately roared angrily, "You audacious fiend, how dare you bewitch me!"

After he finished speaking, more than fifty fire snakes shot out in all directions like arrows.

"Wow! Ahhh!" A shrill scream came from behind Xia Yuhui.

Xia Yuhui immediately grabbed a fire-attribute magic sword and rushed forward. However, at that moment, a humanoid ghost suddenly appeared behind him and swung its ghost claws, rushing straight at Xia Yuhui.

Unexpectedly, a bolt of crimson lightning shot out from Xia Yuhui's back, directly blasting him away.

"Hmph, two? Give them to me, Crimson!" Two streaks of crimson lightning shot out like lightning.

However, no screams were heard this time, indicating that the attack had been avoided. Nevertheless, Xia Yuhui was not discouraged. Instead, he drew his sword and charged at the monster that he had injured with his Fire Serpent Technique.

However, once he saw the ghost's appearance clearly, he immediately stopped what he was doing and excitedly muttered to himself, "A primordial spirit ghost!"

"Wow, this Taoist is too powerful! Run!" With that, the humanoid ghost immediately ran wildly into the depths.

Upon hearing that this ghost could speak human language, Xia Yuhui was overjoyed and hurriedly chased after it.

Innate spirits are rare species in the cultivation world. Most of them are born from extremely yin places. Once they appear in the world, they are intelligent and can speak human language. Moreover, they are born with a cultivation level of more than the seventh level of Qi Refining.

More importantly, it can continuously absorb Yin energy and ghost energy to strengthen itself, and there are no bottlenecks. As long as there is enough Yin energy and ghost energy, it can advance from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment in just a few years.

Before long, Xia Yuhui spotted another spirit ghost. After confirming that it was also a primordial ghost, he felt a surge of excitement and quickened his pace.

In a short while, he caught up with the two ghosts. However, he did not use any spells or magical artifacts to attack. Instead, he directly summoned the Azure Soul Lamp and was about to channel his magic power into it when the two ghosts suddenly turned around and let out two mournful howls.

Xia Yuhui had a bad feeling and immediately took out the tattered Hundred Ghosts Banner from his storage bag.

Although he had already completed the ritual of refining the banner, it was not yet fully repaired due to a lack of materials. However, given the current situation, he had no choice but to take it out as a temporary measure.

In a short while, two main spirits emerged from the banner and roared at the two ghosts. But as soon as they finished roaring, they collapsed to the ground, clutching their heads.

Xia Yuhui was also hit by the shockwave, and blood gushed from his eardrums instantly. He had no choice but to do his best to use his magic to protect his eardrums from damage.

Then, two streaks of crimson lightning detached from Xia Yuhui's body and struck the two spirit ghosts directly.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the two spirits had no choice but to flee in panic, which gave Xia Yuhui an opportunity. He immediately ordered the two main spirits to charge forward, while he quickly swallowed two healing pills.

In any case, he never expected that the howls of these two ghosts would be so powerful. If it had been a dozen or so more breaths, his ears would probably have been ruined.
