Immortal Cultivation Families: The Rise of the Jinling Immortal Clan

"No need to worry, Uncle Guang. I have already reached an agreement with the Akagi family. Now only the Cai family remains. Since the Akagi family has sued for peace, the Cai family will probably not dare to act aggressively towards us anymore," Xia Yuhui said calmly, as if he had seen through Xia Guangyan's thoughts.

"Very good, very good." Xia Guangyan finally regained his composure. After calming down, he realized his loss of composure and said with an embarrassed look, "Alas! Yu Hui, you also know that the sect will definitely not allow us to start a war at this time."

Xia Yuhui did not respond, but instead raised another crucial question, "Uncle Guang, when will the Foundation Establishment Pills that Guiyun Sect compensated my Xia family arrive? Could you please go and urge them again?"

“That’s right, Guangyan. I asked you about this last time. The result should be out by now, right?” Xia Guangchang asked immediately upon hearing this. Xia Yuhui had already instructed him to ask Xia Guangyan about this matter last time, and Xia Guangyan should have already asked.

"Alas, I have already asked, and the sect replied that they do not have any extra Foundation Establishment Pills to compensate us at the moment, and we will have to wait at least several years."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhui and the other two's expressions changed drastically. Xia Yuhui was so shocked that he stood up. "What? Two or three years?"

Xia Yuhui was shocked. He had originally thought that after he and Xia Guangyan established their foundations, Guiyun Sect would send them the Foundation Establishment Pills on its own initiative. He never expected that they would have to wait two or three years. His face immediately darkened.

Xia Guangyang, who was a bit short-tempered, slammed his fist on the table next to him. "That damned Guiyun Sect! Our old patriarch died a tragic death for them in the Northern Frontier, but now they won't even give us a single Foundation Establishment Pill. I wonder who will dare to risk their lives for them in the future."

"Second brother, don't speak recklessly. Don't worry, with me here, I will definitely get the Foundation Establishment Pill back," Xia Guangyan said solemnly.

Seeing this, Xia Guangyan had no choice but to sit back down in his original seat.

Xia Yuhui was also looking down at the teapot on the table, seemingly deep in thought.

"Yu Hui, rest assured, leave this matter to me. Now I want to ask, was it you who attacked the Cai family last time?" Xia Guangyan asked solemnly.

Xia Yuhui seemed to have expected this, and calmly replied, "Uncle Yan, you misunderstand. This was not my doing."

Xia Guangchang, standing to the side, also maintained a calm demeanor.

Xia Guangyang, however, had already turned his head away.

"Very well, I understand. I'll take my leave now." With that, he bowed to Xia Guangchang and Xia Guangyang, then turned and left.

At this moment, he understood that Xia Yuhui must have been behind the incident. He had previously harbored doubts about Xia Yuhui, but at that time he believed that Xia Yuhui, who had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage, did not possess such strength.

Only now, after his easy defeat of the Ghostly Taoist was exposed, has he become certain of the truth of the matter.

At this moment, his heart was heavy. With his current status, not only did he have the Guiyun Sect as his backing, but he could also rely on the resources of his family. His strength should have been the strongest in the Xia family. However, he only now realized the reality.

Xia Yuhui is still the same Xia Yuhui. He not only leaves the Yu generation far behind, but he even surpasses the Guang generation...

After Xia Guangyan left, Xia Yuhui said in a deep voice, "It seems that Guiyun Sect is unlikely to last long. Since they haven't sent the Foundation Establishment Pills yet, the other families are probably the same. Hmph! That's fine. People's hearts are slowly falling apart, and then we can take advantage of the chaos."

"Alas! That is indeed the case, but the Xia family is now powerless to participate." Xia Guangchang stroked his beard and said slowly. If it were a hundred years ago, their Xia family might have been able to achieve something.

"A storm is coming, and my Xia family also needs to improve its strength. Elder, please place some items from the family treasury on the contribution list for the family members to exchange. Currently, although those who have made contributions to the family have a lot of contribution points, they have no rare items to exchange for. If this continues, we may lose the hearts of the people. Please also place this top-grade magic weapon on the contribution list."

After speaking, Xia Yuhui took out a modified top-grade magic weapon from his storage bag.

Xia Guangchang took the top-grade magic weapon, examined it for a moment, and then put it into his storage bag. "Yu Hui, you don't have a suitable top-grade magic weapon right now, do you? Although you have a second-tier spiritual weapon, its recognition is too high, which may cause many inconveniences when you are out in the world. I have a fire-attribute spiritual weapon that is very suitable for you, so I will give it to you to use."

After speaking, Xia Guangchang reached for his storage bag.

"No need. I will have a suitable magic weapon in a few days." Xia Yuhui interrupted directly. Although he had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he could not yet refine top-grade magic weapons or even spiritual weapons. He could only refine them by slowly familiarizing himself with and exploring them.

This process will undoubtedly take a long time, perhaps several years? Or even more than ten years. However, Xia Yuhui's conditions already surpass those of most cultivators, after all, his Xia family possesses a second-tier inheritance.

They are far better than those who have no lineage and rely entirely on their own exploration.

"By the way, Second Elder, allocate another 10,000 contribution points to Uncle Yan. Merit deserves reward, and Uncle Yan has made such a great contribution, so this is appropriate," Xia Yuhui added.

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away." Xia Guangyang, who hadn't spoken for a while, finally nodded in response. He wasn't used to this kind of situation, and only spoke up now that he knew there was something to do.

After the three discussed the matter further, Xia Yuhui returned to his cave.

Back in his cave, Xia Yuhui took out the weapon-refining inheritance from his storage bag. This weapon-refining inheritance was obtained by his ancestor Xia Chenyang when he was a rogue cultivator and has been passed down to this day, precisely because it contains a second-tier weapon-refining inheritance.

The family had produced second-tier weapon-refining cultivators for generations, but this tradition ended fifty years ago.

But now that Xia Yuhui has successfully established his foundation, in another ten years or so, the family will be able to produce another second-tier spirit weapon master.

After looking at it for a while, Xia Yuhui slowly put down the inheritance. This second-tier inheritance was truly comprehensive, covering all aspects of weapon crafting, even including the image stone used during the crafting process.

However, Xia Yuhui still found it a bit difficult to learn. It wasn't that he lacked talent; in fact, compared to the average person, his talent was already quite good.

However, this second-tier inheritance is different from the previous ones. The content recorded inside is much more difficult than before, and the weapon-refining method has also changed.

Previously, as long as various materials were fused together and the various energies within them were condensed into a single bundle, it was considered a success. However, nowadays, cultivators who refine spiritual artifacts must inscribe small arrays into the artifacts during the refining process. This is necessary to fuse various high-level materials together, resulting in greater power.

Because of this, in the past, even if some talented rogue cultivators didn't have any predecessors to guide them, they could still successfully refine magical artifacts after more than ten years of trial and error.

But things are different now. Now the method of refining weapons must be exactly the same as the records, without any mistakes, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted.

After relinquishing his inheritance in weapon crafting, Xia Yuhui suddenly recalled some past events. Back then, before he had even established his foundation, he tried to steal the Crimson Fruit, but failed and was injured by a top-grade magic weapon.

And that top-grade magic weapon was exactly the fire-attribute magic weapon that suited him.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly. That day, he mentioned the Xia family's name, but the person didn't care at all. Now, he could finally settle this matter.

Thinking of this, he immediately went out.

Two days later.

In Jinling County, there is the ancestral home of a Qi Refining family. There is a first-grade high-quality spiritual vein here, which is the territory of the Yang family, a Qi Refining family. This Yang family was originally founded by a rogue Qi Refining cultivator.

Hundreds of years have passed since then, and the clan now has nearly a hundred cultivators, making them the overlords of the surrounding area.

It was a sunny day, but now the sky was shrouded in a black mist, from which ghostly figures occasionally floated out, and mournful ghostly cries echoed from below.

This cloud of black mist was summoned by Qingfeng using the Hundred Ghosts Banner at Xia Yuhui's behest.
