Immortal Cultivation Families: The Rise of the Jinling Immortal Clan

"Uncle, I am Father's second daughter, Xia Yu, and this is my younger brother, Xia Ling." After saying this, he pointed to Xia Ling on the side.

"Sister, why did you say my name? How am I supposed to eat cherries now?" Five-year-old Xia Ling immediately pouted, looking displeased, and said.

"Hehehe, you have one too, you have one too." Xia Yunhui grabbed it again and held it on his lap.

"Here, this is for you." He took a cherry from his storage bag and handed it to Xia Ling.

Xia Ling immediately beamed with joy, took the cherry, and bit into it. In an instant, wisps of spiritual energy slowly flowed from her mouth into her body, causing her to feel a tingling sensation all over her body, and her face showed a look of enjoyment.

Seeing this, Xia Yu, who was sitting on the other lap, also swallowed the cherry in a few bites and soon showed a look of enjoyment.

Xia Yuhui also noticed Xia Yun's dejected expression and tossed him a cherry, saying, "Don't be discouraged. Perhaps living a peaceful and ordinary life is also a kind of happiness."

"Thank you for your guidance, Uncle!" Xia Yun immediately accepted the gift with excitement and bowed respectfully.

Then Xia Yuhui immediately took out four bottles of pills and handed them to Xia Qiu, saying, "This kind of pill, one every three years, can prevent diseases. As for the cherries just now, the four of you should not hope for them. These cherries can only enhance the physique of young people. At your age, they are useless to you."

"Thank you, brother!" Xia Qiu clasped his hands together and accepted the gift.

However, as soon as he got close to Xia Yuhui, he noticed the change in Xia Yuhui's appearance and was immediately startled. After a few breaths, he sighed and said, "I am now 34 years old, but because I have lived a very comfortable life in the mortal world and have never suffered, all I have left when I think back is happy memories. So time has passed by in the blink of an eye for me."

"But now, seeing that my brother's appearance has not only not aged, but seems to have become even younger, I realize that no matter how comfortable life is, it has its limits. When the time comes, everything will come to an end." He sighed deeply as he said this.

"Hmph, my time passes faster than yours. Each time I go into seclusion, several months or years have passed. Now I am thirty-six years old. Although I have achieved some success in my cultivation, I do not know if I can cross that insurmountable barrier."

"Brother, you are blessed with great fortune and will surely become an immortal in the future." Xia Qiu did not know what the natural barrier was, but he still hoped that his brother could get through it safely.

"With such good fortune as your master, you will surely attain immortality in the future," Mingyue immediately flattered.

“Yes, yes, Master will definitely succeed!” Qingfeng also said.

"Take off your black robes and let them get to know you," Xia Yuhui said to the two ghosts behind him.

The two immediately removed their Taoist robes, revealing skin as pale as paper.

"what!"

After the Taoist robes were removed, the three women who had been sitting silently to the side screamed in shock.

"Shut up! How can you behave like this in front of your brother?" Xia Qiu was also startled. I had never seen such a terrifying-looking immortal before, but I still suppressed my fear and scolded my three wives and concubines.

Xia Yuhui waved his hand and said slowly, "It's alright. These two ghosts are named Qingfeng and Mingyue. They are my newly recruited servants. You only need to recognize them."

Seeing that his appearance had surprised everyone, Qingfeng Mingyue immediately put his Taoist robe back on.

"Boom!"

Just then, a knock came from outside the courtyard. "Uncle Xia Qiu, are you alright?" followed by a young man's voice.

Xia Yuhui's lips curled up slightly. He had already noticed the person who had arrived. "Liang He! It's me. Come in."

Hearing the call from outside the courtyard, Xia Lianghe immediately stepped inside.

Xia Yun hurriedly stepped forward to open the door for her.

Xia Lianghe stepped into the house and immediately saw Xia Yuhui sitting in the main seat. He quickly and happily bowed, "Fifth Uncle, it is you who have returned to visit Uncle Xia Qiu. I just sensed a trace of ghostly energy and came here. I apologize for disturbing you, Fifth Uncle."

"It's alright, it's alright. I didn't expect that someone from the Liang generation would have already broken through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining. I suppose you must be quite diligent in your cultivation."

"Lianghe's success was merely a fluke; he can hardly be compared to Fifth Uncle back then," Xia Lianghe said with a look of reverence.

Xia Yuhui, however, grew increasingly fond of this junior. Xia Lianghe not only possessed three spiritual roots, but also had an outstanding temperament. Furthermore, he had heard that this young man had a talent for weapon crafting, and perhaps he would achieve great things in the future.

Thinking of this, he took out a pot of spiritual tea from his storage bag, heated it with his magic, and poured a cup for Xia Lianghe. "Come on, sit down quickly. I got this from my elder brother. Ordinary people can't get this."

Xia Lianghe immediately sat down on the stool that Xia Yun had found for him, and took the spiritual tea from Xia Yuhui's hand. "Thank you, Fifth Uncle!"

After finishing his tea, he glanced at Qingfeng Mingyue behind Xia Yuhui and was startled, but he quickly suppressed his emotions and calmed down.

He thought to himself, "No wonder a ghostly aura suddenly appeared in the village. He was startled and thought something had happened to the village. It turned out to be his fifth uncle's spirit ghost. The aura that these two spirit ghosts exuded was enough to terrify him. Only someone like my fifth uncle could subdue them." This made him even more envious.

"I've heard you have a great talent for crafting artifacts. Are you able to craft a low-grade magic weapon now?" Xia Yuhui asked slowly.

"Uncle, I can now refine low-grade magic weapons, but the success rate is too low. If I were to refine them, I would only lose money."

"Hmm, very good. Take your time and build a solid foundation first. Here, take this book and read it." After he finished eating, she tossed him a book.

This is a weapon-refining notebook, containing the insights of four or five weapon refiners from the Xia family. It was originally passed down to him by Xia Guangyao, and now he has handed it over to Xia Lianghe. Perhaps this is a form of inheritance. It's just a pity that he can no longer guide Xia Lianghe.

"Thank you very much, Fifth Uncle! Lianghe will certainly live up to your expectations." Xia Lianghe took the document and his face flushed with excitement.

The next day, Xia Yuhui accompanied Xia Yun and the other two on a sightseeing trip, and also visited the neighbors on both sides of the street.

In their childhood, it was these neighbors who took care of Xia Qiu and the other two, so Xia Yuhui was quite generous to them, often giving them a few pills as gifts.

Everyone gladly accepted it.

When the entire village learned of Xia Yuhui's return, everyone rushed to greet him, and the whole Xiliu Village was bustling with activity.

Afterwards, Xia Yuhui accompanied Xia Qiu into the mountains to hunt. Of course, he did not participate himself, but watched from the side of Xia Qiu and occasionally gave some pointers.

Thus, Xia Yuhui spent several ample days at home, during which he did not cultivate and remained completely relaxed.

Five days later, Xia Yuhui bid farewell to Xia Qiu and the others, returning home with Qingfeng and Mingyue. This parting might mean waiting at least another decade or more before he could return.

Standing in the courtyard, Xia Qiu watched Xia Yuhui and the two ghosts slowly fly away. A wave of sadness washed over her. After these past few days, Xia Qiu understood that she might never see Xia Yuhui again for the next 20 or 30 years, or even her entire life…
