Immortal Cultivation Families: The Rise of the Jinling Immortal Clan

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other three Xia family cultivators all became solemn. After all, everyone present was either involved or aware of the matter, and no one was uninvolved.

"Then Uncle Qi must be careful to ensure his own safety, after all, things in the demonic cultivation world are often unpredictable."

"You don't need to worry about that. I won't do it myself. Instead, I will send sect disciples from within the market to search. If the search continues for several months without success, then we will have to give up."

Despite this, Xia Guangyan had already begun to suspect Xia Yuhui.

Based on his understanding of his nephew, Xia Yuhui not only had the ability, but also the courage.

However, Xia Guangyan ultimately considered family ties, and even though he harbored suspicions about Xia Yuhui, he wouldn't easily reveal them. Even with solid evidence, he would choose to conceal it.

“That’s excellent. Uncle Qi is very thoughtful. By the way, when you return, please keep my breakthrough to Foundation Establishment a secret for now. After all, our Xia family has already lost a Foundation Establishment cultivator in this beast tide, so we have done our utmost.”

Xia Guangyan pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded and said, "Alright, I will keep this a secret. However, you must not leak it out. Guiyun Sect has extremely strong intelligence capabilities. It was Guiyun Sect that discovered the matter of the demonic cultivators last time; otherwise, the Cai family would still be kept in the dark."

"Yes, I'll keep that in mind." Xia Yuhui smiled and nodded slightly.

After discussing the matter further, Xia Yuhui and Xia Guangchang took the initiative to leave.

On the way back, Xia Yuhui instructed Xia Guangchang: "Elder, immediately repay all the spirit stones owed to the family cultivators in the past, and inform the trustworthy family members about my breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage."

“Well, I’ll take care of this immediately. As for Guangyan’s monthly stipend…” Xia Guangchang hesitated.

"Yes, increase the salary by 30% for the first three months based on the Foundation Establishment cultivators, and then restore the treatment to that of Foundation Establishment Elder cultivators. Issue this order immediately. From today onwards, Seventh Uncle will be a family elder. I will be traveling far away in a few days. If anyone looks for me at this time, tell them that I have gone into seclusion and am not seeing outsiders."

"it is good!"

Xia Guangchang nodded in satisfaction, feeling more and more that this clan chief suited his taste.

As for why Xia Yuhui entrusted him with so many affairs, it was simply a tradition of the Xia family. Cultivation families, or even the cultivation world, have always revered strength; whoever has the biggest fist survives.

If the Xia family lacks high-end combat power, even if he handles everything perfectly, he will still be doomed to destruction. Therefore, high-end combat power usually does not deal with those trivial matters.

After giving all his instructions, Xia Yuhui returned to his cave.

Upon seeing their master return, Qingfeng and Mingyue immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Welcome, Master!"

"Come on up, let's go on a long trip together," Xia Yuhui said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Qingfeng and Mingyue immediately transformed into two wisps of black energy, attaching themselves to Xia Yuhui's left and right arms.

In an instant, Xia Yuhui teleported away and disappeared from the spot.

A dozen or so breaths later, Xia Yuhui piloted his flying boat and sped away through the sky. He had many important matters to attend to on this long journey.

The first thing to do is to head to that desolate, deathly place. Several years ago, he planted many spiritual plants there, and now, those first-tier spiritual plants should have yielded some harvest.

Although he has now broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he is still using the same mid-grade flying boat as before. However, his magical power is no longer comparable to what it used to be, so Xia Yuhui no longer needs a flying boat. His speed is also much faster than that of a flying boat. But he is not in a hurry, so he still uses a flying boat to travel.

In the future, this flying boat will definitely need to be replaced, at least with a high-grade magic artifact.

As for flying with a magical artifact, its speed is no different from that of a magic weapon, unless it is a magical artifact specifically designed for flying, in which case it will have an amplifying effect.

Therefore, once you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, the competition becomes about escape techniques. Currently, Xia Yuhui's lightning escape technique is far faster than that of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Half a day later, Xia Yuhui returned to the Dead Yin Abyss. Upon arrival, he did not immediately enter, but instead summoned three middle puppet beasts and ordered them to explore the area.

Before long, the three puppets returned after completing their exploration. Xia Yuhui then slowly entered the cave. After he had thoroughly explored the cave and used the various methods he had previously employed, he felt completely at ease before finally arriving at the cavern he had previously entered.

Upon arriving at the cave, the gentle breeze and bright moonlight seemed to separate from Xia Yuhui's body as if he were returning home. "Ah, it's so uncomfortable to be so close to my master. I feel like there's an electric current running rampant through my body."

As soon as the bright moon appeared, it began to complain, while the gentle breeze remained silent.

"Oh, would you like to try it? It really feels like lightning is shooting around on you," Xia Yuhui said with a sideways smile.

"No need, no need, Master, it's actually quite alright." Mingyue was afraid that Xia Yuhui would do something like that to him, so he quickly refused.

Xia Yuhui ignored him and instead slapped Qingfeng, who was blocking his way, before leading the two ghosts to the spirit field where he had previously planted spirit plants.

At this moment, the surrounding environment has undergone drastic changes. The surrounding area is full of lush spiritual plants, and because some of these plants have a reciprocal effect, the yin energy here is even stronger. This allows Qingfeng Mingyue behind Xia Yuhui to lie on the ground quite comfortably, freely absorbing the yin energy that gathers around them.

Xia Yuhui was overjoyed to see this. All the first-tier spiritual creatures he had planted earlier had matured, and some were even larger than when they were fully mature. This was obviously because the environment here was extremely suitable for their growth, which was why they were larger than usual.

Xia Yuhui was like a farmer harvesting a bountiful harvest, gently pulling out these mature spiritual creatures at a steady pace, without daring to damage their roots or tendons.

It took Xia Yuhui nearly five hours to harvest all the first-tier spiritual items. After spending some time repairing the damaged spiritual field, he finally arrived at the two second-tier spiritual trees. These trees originally took fifty years to flower and bear fruit, but now, in just a few years, they had already flowered and seemed poised to bear fruit.

Upon seeing this, Xia Yuhui immediately poured some more spring water down below.

Although this tree also draws water from the spring below through its underground roots, Xia Yuhui could only do this boring thing when he had nothing else to do. Over the years, he would also read books about spiritual plants in his spare time, so he also knew a little about the way of spiritual plants.

In Xia Yuhui's view, the tree is growing very well and should bear fruit in a few years. At that time, he can obtain at least fifty second-tier Valley Fruits.

If all fifty-odd fruits were sold, they would yield at least five thousand spirit stones, a truly exorbitant profit. However, once the fifty-odd fruits ripened, the two second-tier spirit trees would wither, because they had already given all their nutrients to the fifty-odd fruits.

After carefully tending to the secluded valley tree, Xia Yuhui returned to the deep pool, his purpose being to obtain Yin Water. After several years of recovery, the Yin Water within the Dead Yin Absolute had returned to its previous level, and Xia Yuhui, without hesitation, once again made his move, taking more than a dozen bottles of bright Yin Water.

After swimming back, Xia Yuhui did not rush to leave, but instead practiced his magic there. He was waiting, waiting for news from Xia Yuhua. He had already sent Xia Yuhua to inquire about the Akagi family.

The Cai family has suffered a major blow, but the Akagi family is unharmed, so he intends to take action against the Akagi family.
