Immortal Cultivation Families: The Rise of the Jinling Immortal Clan

Having thought of this, he was completely relieved and said to Xia Guangchang, "Elder, where is Yu Hui now? Why hasn't he come out to see me, his elder, yet?"

"Oh, don't say that. Yu Hui is currently in seclusion, and it has been more than two years. He hasn't come out yet, but he should be out soon. As for you, you have just broken through. Why would the Guiyun Sect send you here?"

"Alas, I have come here on a mission, and this matter is also somewhat related to my Xia family..."

After speaking, Xia Guangyan recounted the entire story of the mission to Xia Guangchang and the other man.

After the mission was explained, Xia Yuhua's expression immediately became subtle. However, Xia Guangchang, who was experienced, remained calm and said in a deep voice, "It's a pity that the demonic cultivator failed to eradicate the Cai family completely. Heaven is truly blind."

"Yes, but Elder, don't worry. With Yu Hui and I now in charge of the family, the Cai family and the Chi Mu family will definitely not dare to be so arrogant anymore. When I came, I took back all the resource points of my family, and also asked for two shops in the market and five thousand spirit stones as compensation."

After speaking, Xia Guangyan respectfully handed over five thousand spirit stones. Xia Guangchang was about to accept them with a smile, but then seemed to suddenly remember something and lowered his hand.

"What's wrong? Elder, is there something amiss?" Xia Guangyan asked, looking puzzled.

“There is nothing wrong with it, but I still need to discuss this matter with the clan leader.” Xia Guangchang said solemnly and slowly.

“But brother, I have already reached an agreement with Qiu Lin. This matter is considered settled, and we cannot cause them any more trouble. Otherwise, the sect might intervene.” Xia Guangyan anxiously replied to his elder brother.

Originally, he was unwilling to let the matter rest, but the situation forced him to yield. Now that Xia Yuhui had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, the matter had taken a turn for the better. He knew Xia Yuhui's temperament, but he had already promised that if the Xia family insisted on taking action, the Guiyun Sect would not stand idly by.

"That's enough. We'll discuss this matter again after Yu Hui emerges from seclusion. In the future, you must never make decisions for the family on your own again." Xia Guangchang could only sigh.

A month later, Xia Yuhui still showed no intention of leaving the seclusion. Xia Guangchang had no choice but to order the recovery of the lost spiritual mountains and minerals. However, the three shops in the market could not be recovered and could only be left to fall into disrepair.

Three months later, Xia Yuhui finally emerged from seclusion and opened the cave door. It was early morning, and a ray of sunlight shone directly on Xia Yuhui's face.

Xia Yuhui felt the warm sunshine and couldn't help but smile. This nearly two-year seclusion had greatly benefited him; not only had he completed the cultivation of all three spells, but he had also perfected the Soul Extinction Technique.

Xia Yuhui's combat power has now reached a terrifying level. Even if those veteran powerhouses underestimate him, they may lose their lives at his hands. After all, Xia Yuhui's methods are difficult to fathom using common sense.

After emerging from seclusion, Xia Yuhui noticed that the two ghosts, Qingfeng and Mingyue, had gradually increased their cultivation levels, which he assumed was due to the effects of the bottles of Yin Water he had given them. Speaking of Yin Water, Xia Yuhui suddenly remembered that he had planted some spiritual plants in that outer forbidden area; perhaps he could find an opportunity to go and check them out.

Of course, there is another important matter to deal with right now, which is to investigate the situation of the Akagi family.

The Akagi family openly has three Foundation Establishment cultivators, and perhaps they, like the Cai family, have hidden Foundation Establishment cultivators. As a result, Xia Yuhui's original plan to use this beast tide crisis to wipe out these two families will probably be completely thwarted.

As soon as he stepped out of the formation, he saw a communication talisman outside the formation. He immediately took it out, gripped it tightly in one hand, and a voice came out: "Yu Hui, Guang Yan has broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage and has returned to the family. After you come out of seclusion, come to my cave dwelling immediately."

Xia Yuhui was taken aback at first, then came to his senses and smiled slightly. However, at this moment he remembered the old clan leader's instructions from that day.

After pondering for a moment, he walked out of the cave. Qingfeng and Mingyue rushed forward when they saw this, but were knocked away by Xia Yuhui's spell.

"I am not going on a long journey. You two should stay here and cultivate diligently."

Before long, Xia Yuhui arrived at Xia Guangchang's cave.

After welcoming Xia Yuhui in, Xia Guangchang first poured him a cup of spiritual tea, asking, "How was it? Did you gain anything from this seclusion?"

"It's acceptable. All the necessary training has been completed."

“Yes, Yu Hui, I know that when the clan leader was alive, he gave you some instructions, but I still want to make it clear that although Guang Yan can only be considered half a member of the Xia family now, the blood of the Xia family still flows in his veins. We must not treat him differently.”

"Don't worry, Elder, I have never intended to treat Seventh Uncle differently," Xia Yuhui replied solemnly.

“That’s good. Since Guangyan has returned, the Cai and Chimu families have returned the spiritual mountains and mines of my Xia family. Originally, I wanted to wait until you came out of seclusion before making a decision, but you have been in seclusion for quite a long time, and those spiritual mountains and mines cannot be left unattended for long. Therefore, I had no choice but to send people to take them back. However, I did not accept the family shop in the market and the two shops that the Cai and Chimu families compensated me with, since my Xia family is currently a little short of manpower.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhui was first taken aback, then dismissed it, "Well, it's best to have someone within the Guiyun Sect. Otherwise, it will take some time before I can take them back. Elder, please take back those three shops as well, and draw manpower from the resource points near the family."

"Alright, I'll take care of it later. Now that Guangyan has returned, shouldn't you spread the news of your Foundation Establishment?"

"Forget it, I'll just stay hidden for a while longer, at least until the beast tide is over. Besides, I still have some things to finish."

"Alright, then let's do as you say and go see Guangyan now."

After saying that, the two of them went to another cave on the back mountain. This cave was chosen by Xia Guangyan himself and was filled with the spiritual energy emitted by the second-level spiritual vein.

As soon as the two arrived, Xia Guangyan walked out of the cave with a smile on his face. "Haha, very good. Yu Hui is even one step ahead of my seventh uncle. He is truly the pride of our Xia family!"

Behind Xia Guangyan, Xia Guangyao and Xia Guangen also came over. Upon seeing Xia Yuhui, the two of them respectfully bowed and said, "Clan Chief!"

Xia Yuhui could only wave his hand, "Third Uncle, Fifteenth Uncle, there's no need to be so formal in private."

After saying this, the five of them entered the cave together and began to talk in a small bamboo grove in the courtyard.

The group chatted for several hours before Xia Yuhui finally spoke up, "Seventh Uncle, I heard you came here on a mission."

“That’s right. The sect investigated the demonic cultivator who attacked the Cai family and found that it was not the work of Linggui Daoren. Therefore, they specially sent me here to investigate. However, my main purpose in coming here this time is to support the family.”

"Well, I wonder if Uncle Qi has found out anything from his investigation?" Xia Yuhui asked, seemingly with great interest.

"Well, there's no need to take this kind of task too seriously. Just do it perfunctorily. After all, Jinling County is so vast that finding a demonic cultivator is as difficult as climbing to the heavens. Besides, even if I did find him, as a veteran demonic cultivator, I, a newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator, would find it difficult to deal with him," Xia Guangyan suddenly said with a serious expression.
