Immortal Cultivation Families: The Rise of the Jinling Immortal Clan

After swimming back, Xia Yuhui immediately examined himself and, finding nothing amiss, breathed a sigh of relief.

When Qingfeng and Mingyue saw Xia Yuhui holding a bottle containing Yin Water tightly in his hand, they immediately stepped forward and stared intently at the dozen or so small bottles.

However, Xia Yuhui ignored their pleading eyes and directly put the Yin Water into his storage bag.

He has just collected about one-tenth of the Yin Water, and within a few years, the lost Yin Water will be quickly restored.

As for why Xia Yuhui didn't share some Yin Water with Qingfeng and Mingyue, it wasn't because he was stingy, but because he simply couldn't afford it.

Currently, these two spirit ghosts have reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. If they are given Yin Water again, they will probably break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

They will definitely choose to devour their master. Although they may not take his life directly, Xia Yuhui already knew about the abilities of spirit ghosts during the battle just now. They can directly control the minds of others. Xia Yuhui may become a humanoid puppet.

Therefore, Xia Yuhui would never allow such a thing to happen. "Why don't you absorb the Yin energy here to grow stronger, instead of going outside to kill wild beasts and mortals?"

"Well... Master, we two have been cultivating here all along. However, a few years ago, a black bear suddenly broke into the outer mist. At first, seeing its ferocity, we had no choice but to hide here and dare not go out. But as time went by, we realized that this bear was all bark and no bite, and could only attack randomly with its paws and teeth. It was no match for us."

"After that, we absorbed its soul and found the feeling wonderful. So we used our methods to lure all the animals in the surrounding area to this place so that we could absorb their souls."

“A month ago, a human came here, and we also bewitched him.” After saying this, Mingyue kept looking at Xia Yuhui anxiously, as if she was afraid that Xia Yuhui would be angry and kill her directly.

Xia Yuhui nodded in agreement after listening. Based on the information he currently had, that was roughly the situation.

"You two demons, take me to the place where human corpses lie."

"Master, please come with me." Seeing that Mingyue was talking incessantly and that he had not spoken to his master for a long time, Qingfeng immediately and respectfully led Xia Yuhui to the outside of the cave.

Before long, the three arrived at a place where corpses were piled up and the air was thick with the smell of blood. It was clear that Qingfeng and Mingyue had deliberately piled up the corpses there.

Xia Yuhui immediately spotted a human skeleton. It should have taken less than a month for a human corpse to look like this, but the environment here was unusual. Now, a month had passed, and Old Man Wang was nothing but a pile of bones.

After putting Wang Laohan's remains into his storage bag, Xia Yuhui returned to the cave he had just left. He was now pondering what to do with the remains.

There was no human presence or spiritual energy within a radius of fifty miles, so cultivators would not come here. Therefore, he was not afraid of being discovered by other cultivators. What troubled him was whether he should set up a concealment formation here.

After much deliberation, he finally rejected the idea. Even if a Qi Refining cultivator scanned the area with their divine sense while flying through the sky, they would have no chance of discovering it, since he had done the same just now.

Whether a Foundation Establishment cultivator could detect this place was unknown to Xia Yuhui, but this place should have existed for fifty or sixty years and had not been discovered until now. Obviously, it was not easy for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to detect it. Therefore, Xia Yuhui gave up this idea. If he set up a formation here, it would be tantamount to trying to cover up the truth, since cultivators with strong divine sense could easily detect the hidden formation.

After setting up a few simple measures there, he left.

"You two go and stay inside the Hundred Ghosts Banner," Xia Yuhui said to the two ghosts as they walked outside and took out the Hundred Ghosts Banner.

The two ghosts, Qingfeng and Mingyue, immediately changed their expressions. However, Mingyue dared not refute them and could only signal to Qingfeng with her eyes.

"No, if Master takes us both into this thing, we won't be able to absorb the Yin energy in the world, and our cultivation will stagnate." In the end, Qingfeng gritted his teeth and said.

Xia Yuhui was shocked. He had never expected this situation. Although he realized his mistake, he still unleashed a small crimson lightning bolt, which struck Qingfeng directly.

However, Qingfeng was prepared and dodged in an instant. However, this angered Xia Yuhui, and an even larger crimson lightning bolt came crashing down on him.

"Wow! Master, I know I was wrong." Thunder struck Qingfeng directly, making him scream.

"Alright, I will return in a few days. You should go inside and heal your wounds first, and I will come back to pick you up in a few days."

After saying this, Xia Yuhui turned and left.

Outside the mountain, Wang Er paced back and forth anxiously. Half a day had passed, but there was still no trace of Xia Yuhui. Just when he thought that Xia Yuhui might not be able to return.

Xia Yuhui suddenly appeared beside him.

"Immortal, you've finally returned."

Upon seeing Xia Yuhui return, Wang Er was overjoyed, but after looking around and not seeing his father's body, a wave of disappointment washed over him.

"Don't worry, I have retrieved your father's remains." With that, he placed a pile of bones on the ground.

At first, when Wang Er saw the pile of bones, he found it hard to believe that they belonged to his father. After all, only a month had passed; how could a person turn into a pile of bones? However, when he saw a bow and arrow and a dagger, he immediately burst into tears.

"Waaah, Father, it's my fault for being unfilial. I should have come to find you. If that woman hadn't been pregnant, I would have abandoned her long ago and come to you..."

“Alright, I’ll put your father’s remains away first, and we’ll retrieve them when we get back to your home.” After saying that, Xia Yuhui put the remains away again.

"Thank you for your great kindness, Immortal. Please tell me your name, and I will surely erect a longevity tablet for you so that your descendants may pray for you day and night." After wiping away his tears, Wang Er hurriedly kowtowed and thanked you.

"No need, Wang Er. To be honest, you not only saved my life this time, but also found me a great opportunity. Therefore, I have decided to grant you another request. I will do my best to do it for you as long as it is within my power."

"Thank you, Immortal. But you have already brought my father's remains back. I am deeply grateful and would not dare to trouble you any further," Wang Er hurriedly declined.

"Well, perhaps you don't yet understand the importance of this promise. Here, take this token. If you ever need my help in the future, just throw it into the water, and I will come immediately." After saying this, Xia Yuhui took out a token engraved with the character "Hui" and tossed it to Wang Er.

Wang Er had no choice but to accept it.

Afterwards, Xia Yuhui took Wang Er back to his home.

After sending Wang Er back, Xia Yuhui simply changed into a black robe and sped off towards Panyun Market.

Upon arriving at the market, Xia Yuhui did not go to the family's shop, but went straight into the shop owned by Guiyun Sect.

"Shopkeeper, I'd like to buy some Yin-attribute spirit plant seeds, the higher the level, the better." After entering the shop, Xia Yuhui found the shopkeeper and explained his purpose.

“Fellow Daoist, Yin-attribute spiritual plant seeds are extremely rare, but my shop does have them, and in considerable quantities. Let me search carefully for you.”

Having said that, he immediately turned around and went to search for it.
