I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 345: The Passing of Li Danxin

Although he knew he was deceiving himself, he still couldn't bear to see Li Danxin's aging day by day. It took a long time for his emotions to calm down.

Arriving at the cave dwelling, there was a formation at the entrance. Lin Xuqing cast a spell, and the formation automatically opened a path for him.

"Aunt, do I look pretty?"

Even before seeing Li Danxin, Li Dan'er's voice reached Lin Xuqing's ears.

Lin Xuqing's face showed a hint of joy, but there was also a faint helplessness in that joy.

From Li Dan'er's childhood until now, she was still the same, her mental state was similar to that of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old, often naive and carefree, as if she had no worries at all.

Lin Xuqing entered Li Danxin's room, and when Li Dan'er saw him, a blush immediately appeared on her face. She quickly took off the hairpin on her head.

But Lin Xuqing was somewhat shocked. He asked, "Have you made progress in your cultivation again?"

"Hehe, I have already reached thirty percent of the Purple Mansion." Li Dan'er giggled and replied to Lin Xuqing.

Lin Xuqing nodded. After Li Danxin became a Foundation Building cultivator, she did not break through to the Purple Mansion stage, but Li Dan'er successfully broke through to the Purple Mansion stage, and her progress in cultivation was not slow.

"Xuqing, you're here."

Sitting on the bed, reading a book, Li Danxin saw Lin Xuqing come in and smiled.

Lin Xuqing nodded. Although he also wanted to smile on his face, he couldn't manage to do so.

Seeing him like this, Li Danxin spoke to him like a teacher instructing a student, "Xuqing, I've told you several times, why can't you smile when you see me? I know I don't have much time left to live, but what does it matter?"

Li Danxin was able to accept it, but these words couldn't convince Lin Xuqing.

Seeing Lin Xuqing still unchanged, Li Danxin knew it was difficult to persuade him, so she stopped talking.

Lin Xuqing came to Li Danxin's bedside. Compared to the last time, he sensed that Li Danxin had less than half a year to live. His heart tightened, and a sour feeling spread throughout his body.

He was not someone who easily developed emotions, but once these emotions arose, they were deep and sincere, something outsiders couldn't understand.

"What book are you reading?" Lin Xuqing suddenly asked.

"Oh, this," Li Danxin picked up the book in her hand and showed it to Lin Xuqing, "It's not a big deal, just a notebook left by my grandfather, which records the identification methods of common spiritual medicines."

"I see, but why are you reading this kind of book?"

Lin Xuqing took a look and saw that the spiritual medicines inside were all low-level ones. This kind of book was very common, almost every Qi Refining cultivator had one to prevent them from being unable to identify spiritual medicines when they found them.

Upon hearing Lin Xuqing's question, Li Danxin smiled and said, "Actually, it reminded me of when I was young. At that time, my grandfather wanted to train me to become an alchemist, so he taught me a lot of alchemy knowledge. But I didn't want to be an alchemist at that time, so I didn't learn much. Later, my grandfather stopped teaching me. However, a few days ago, I accidentally found this book that my grandfather asked me to read thoroughly. I don't know why, but I fell in love with this book all at once. Reading it, I don't feel the same boredom and dullness as when I was young. Instead, I find it fascinating. All kinds of spiritual medicines seem to come alive and crowd into my mind."

"Is this really happening?" Lin Xuqing couldn't quite understand.

For him, when he first learned alchemy, he also learned how to identify spiritual medicines. However, his aptitude in this area was very good, and he basically remembered everything after just one read. So he didn't pay much attention to this kind of book.

"Yeah, I can't believe it myself. If I were put in the past, maybe I could have become an alchemist too," Li Danxin said again.

"Aunt, look."

While Li Danxin was talking to Lin Xuqing, Li Daner somehow found a hairpin and inserted it into her own hair. She quietly said to Li Danxin.

Li Danxin smiled slightly, and Li Daner became even happier.

But Lin Xuqing, who saw this scene, couldn't help but show a greater sense of helplessness.

Seeing Lin Xuqing like this, Li Danxin suddenly put away the book, looked up, and said with a sense of understanding, "Xuqing, the stars in the sky will always fall, and people in the world will always leave. While cultivating to become an immortal can transcend life and death, it seems that few people have been able to do so since ancient times. I believe that you and I will meet again someday. Temporary separation is not a big deal. Look at these herbs, they live and die, die and live, just like us."

Lin Xuqing listened silently and didn't say a word.

Then, as if out of control, Lin Xuqing came to the outside of the cave and looked at the scenery outside. His expression remained unchanged, but his demeanor became even more serious.

In the past six months, Li Danxin passed away one night, and Lin Xuqing buried her with his own hands.

For the Lin family now, Li Danxin's death would not cause any changes in their strength, because there were already too many Foundation Building cultivators in the Lin family. As for the family bond, Li Danxin's descendants and Lin Xuqing mourned for a few days, but then continued with their own lives.

But Lin Xuqing felt like something was missing in his heart from then on, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness.

He often looked up at the stars, often thought of the words Li Danxin said to him that day, often fell silent, often pondered.

And one day, he also picked up many low-level alchemy books to read. As he read, he seemed to gradually understand Li Danxin.

Lin Qing also knew about Li Danxin's death.

But Lin Qing didn't know much about Li Danxin. He was only grateful that she had been willing to follow Lin Xuqing wholeheartedly before.

On this day, Lin Qing was in the middle of cultivation when he suddenly received a message, and his face changed drastically.

Afterwards, he immediately found Yue.

"Yue'er, the younger generation in the family sent me a message. Yunzhou has been attacked," Lin Qing said.

"What?" Yue was shocked for a moment and asked incredulously, "Attacked? But the demonic path in Lanzhou is impossible. This is too fast."

Lin Qing shook his head, "I'm not sure if it's the demonic path in Lanzhou, but the attack is real. Ever since a few years ago, when some family descendants were intentionally sent to various places in Yunzhou to establish roots, these descendants have often sent back various news. But the ones that reach my hands are probably the true news that has gone through several verifications. This matter is definitely not false."

After thinking for a moment, Yue said affirmatively, "In my opinion, it must be the demonic path in Lanzhou. Who else would attack Yunzhou? But their speed is too fast. Originally, I thought even if they defeated our righteous path in Lanzhou, it would take them a hundred years to recover. I didn't expect them to arrive in Yunzhou in just over forty years. It seems that their strength is even stronger than I imagined."
