According to He Song’s assumption, Lin Cong probably still harbored dissatisfaction and wanted to find a person with a Spirit Root among his descendants to personally protect and facilitate their journey.

He hoped to set foot beyond the Foundation Establishment stage and secure a prosperous future for his progeny.

Regrettably, in the end, despite his constant expectations, it all ended in vain.

Starting from Lin Cong.

None of his descendants ever had a Spirit Root.

Having no choice, he had to prepare for his future while he still had a few years left to live, planning to move his whole family to the mortal world to protect their family business.

Otherwise, if they continued to stay within the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, without the protection of cultivators, the risk of family extinction would come in the blink of an eye.

Now, in his old age, he sees himself looking exactly the same as before.

It would be impossible not to feel envious.

Time flies.

The once robust and healthy young man had now gradually aged.

But the Spiritual Plant Farmer by his side had not changed at all.

Under such a contrast, it was already a show of mental resilience for Lin Cong not to shed tears.

If it were someone else who was less psychologically stable.

Their emotions might have been out of control on the spot.

Facing this scene, He Song sighed in his heart. He was somewhat moved regarding his friend from decades ago.

After a sigh, He Song didn’t hold back and also made a small salute towards him.

Then he began to speak.

“I intended to go into seclusive cultivation, but a sound-transmitting paper crane fell from the sky as I was about to do so.”

“Only then did I realize it was an invitation from you.”

“We’ve known each other for nearly a century.”

“Now that you have invited me here, how could I not come.”

“But…The value of the Longevity Elixir is incredibly shocking. I have searched the entire Immortal City but couldn’t find one for you.”

“Sigh.”

He didn’t manage to fulfill the task for his friend, but He Song felt that he still needed to convey this intention.

By saying this, it could let Lin Cong know that he had tried to help of him, not that he didn’t want to help.

Being in the Cultivating World, Lin Cong would surely have heard about the Longevity Elixir.

However, after hearing what He Song had said, he would surely understand He Song’s actions.

How precious a Longevity Elixir that could be used by a person at the Qi Refining stage is.

Lin Cong, who’s in the middle of Qi Refining, should understand this even more than He Song.

If he couldn’t find it, it would be normal.

Of course.

With these words from He Song, Lin Cong was able to understand He Song’s intentions and would not carry any resentment towards him before he died.

With this, He Song had done his best.

After sighing, He Song took out the Jade Slip he had made previously from his storage bag.

“However, though I couldn’t find the Longevity Elixir, I have brought something else for Mr. Lin.

“This is a Transmission Jade Slip. Inside, there is a cultivation skill that anyone with a Spirit Root can cultivate successfully, as well as a fragmented puppet technique. ”

“I made it myself.”

“Consider it a gift for Mr. Lin.”

“I hope Mr. Lin makes sure his descendants take good care of it.”

“If any of Mr. Lin’s descendants gain a Spirit Root in the future, they may be able to return to the Cultivating World using this Transmission Jade Slip.” He Song did not change his original address to Lin Cong.

His friend was on the verge of death; it would be inappropriate for him to put on airs.

As he handed the plain-looking Jade Slip to Lin Cong, He Song saw a flicker of surprise cross Lin Cong’s face.

Lin Cong, who was originally shocked and confused by the news that He Song had scoured the entire Immortal City without finding a Longevity Elixir for him,

His face changed again when he heard that He Song had specifically made a Transmission Jade Slip for his descendants to set foot in the Cultivation World again.

He looked at He Song who was standing in front of him.

Lin Cong then lowered his head to glance at the plain-looking Jade Slip in his hand.

He again lifted his head and looked He Song, who had not aged at all.

After going back and forth several times, Lin Cong opened his mouth.

But in the end, he didn’t say anything.

He just nodded firmly at He Song and, with trembling hands, put the Jade Slip into his storage bag.

Then, he gave out a smile.

He took He Song’s hand and led him into his house with large strides.

However, at some unknown point.

Several drops of water fell onto the ground and stirred up a bit of dust.

Then everything fell into silence again.

Soon.

The figures of Lin Cong and He Song stepped into a courtyard one after another.

Inside the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, cultivators at the Qi-refining late stage are all assigned a courtyard for dwelling and cultivation.

Lin Cong’s current cultivation level was at Qi Refining Great Perfection, so his courtyard was naturally closer to the innermost circle of Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.

The courtyards closer to the inner circle were larger than ordinary ones.

But since Lin Cong got married and had children after coming here, the courtyard was actually quite crowded.

After stepping into the courtyard together with He Song, Lin Cong quickly began making introductions.

Lin Cong had three wives.

All of them were ordinary people.

These three wives collectively bore him six offspring.

His six offspring, in turn, married and produced children of their own.

His grandchildren are now on the brink of marrying and having children.

As of now, Lin Cong has dozens of descendants.

These dozens of people cramming into this courtyard, though sufficiently large, seems somewhat crowded.

But from He Song’s perspective, this place has a lively atmosphere.

However, if Lin Cong wasn’t guarding this place, this large family would

probably struggle to survive in the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.

This might also explain why Lin Cong mentioned taking his family away from the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion in his correspondence to He Song.

Lin Cong knew that after his death, his descendants would lose their cultivator’s protection.

If they do not leave, they might have difficulty surviving in the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.

When the people of Lin Cong’s family saw He Song in his black robe entering the courtyard with Lin Cong, they quickly, guided by Lin Cong, paid their respects to He Song.

Upon seeing this, He Song returned the courtesy with some small gifts.

Some spirit stones, that’s all.

He Song didn’t think much of it.

After meeting all of Lin Cong’s family, Lin Cong immediately decided to host a banquet at home to celebrate He Song’s arrival.

So it was.

For the next few days, He Song spent his time in Lin Cong’s courtyard.

In this period, nothing significant occurred, and no audacious people came to cause trouble.

Not until a few days later.

It was night.

Lin Cong and He Song sat sipping tea on the upper floor of the courtyard building.

“In a few days, I will have to take these family members and live in the mortal world.”

“But once we leave, I don’t know when my unworthy descendants will be able to return here.”

“My friend, your graciousness regarding the transmission jade slip truly relieves my worries.”

“Regrettably, it seems we won’t meet again after we bid farewell this time.”

With fixed gaze on He Song, Lin Cong said, his aged spirit in his eyes inevitably revealed as he spoke.

He was now almost one hundred and twenty years old.

A mortal’s life span, sixty is considered good fortune.

Qi Refining Early Stage can live to eighty.

Qi-refining mid stage can live to one hundred.

Qi-refining late stage cultivators can live to one hundred and twenty.

Lin Cong, at this point, was only a few years away from this span of one hundred and twenty years.

These few years would pass in a blink of an eye, and his opportunity to resolve a significant regret in his heart has made him deeply grateful to He Song at this moment.

He made the right choice befriending He Song.

While they were still in Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, He Song saved his life with a piece of news.

Now, when he is about to pass away, He Song came from afar to resolve a big regret in his heart.

On these two occasions, He Song never sought any repayment.

His gratitude is naturally ingrained in Lin Cong’s heart. “I wonder if you have any ways to prevent others from eavesdropping?” “There are some things I would like to tell you.”

With his eyes sweeping around, Lin Cong seemed to make a certain decision in his heart and asked in a low voice.

Seeing this, He Song’s heart stirred.

Could it be… that Lin Cong had some secrets to share with him?

To him, a Foundation-Establishment Master, it should not be of much use, right?

With such thoughts flashing in his mind, He Song decided to listen first after thinking it over.

After making the decision, He Song emitted his divine sense, enveloping the surrounding area within tens of meters under his divine sense.

With He Song’s divine sense covering it, there was no need to worry about anyone eavesdropping on their conversation.

After doing all this, He Song nodded, indicating to Lin Cong he could continue talking.

He didn’t see any reactions from He Song.

But seeing He Song nodding, Lin Cong had doubts but also believed He Song wouldn’t deceive him.

He also thought, now that He Song had reached the Foundation Establishment, it was normal for him not to understand the methods of the Foundation Establishment.

Therefore, upon seeing He Song nodding, Lin Cong immediately began talking.

“Originally, thanks to the information you gave me, I managed to escape from

Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion and avoid dying in the catastrophe of

Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.’

“Later, I settled in Green Wall Immortal City and took root there until my failure in Foundation Establishment when I returned here once again.”

“But actually, after leaving Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion initially, I didn’t go straight to Green Wall Immortal City.”

“Back then, I had just broken through the Qi-refining mid stage and hadn’t fully consolidated my cultivation level when you advised me to leave Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion immediately.”

“So, after leaving Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, I headed east. Once I sensed I was more than a hundred miles away from the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, I slipped into a mountain valley.”

“In the valley, I fully consolidated my cultivation before continuing towards Green Wall Immortal City.”

“I didn’t think there was anything peculiar when consolidating my cultivation then, but upon careful recollection afterward, I found that valley seemed a bit peculiar.”

“However, when I later reached the Qi Refining Grand Completion stage and investigated, I couldn’t find anything strange, a truly bizarre happening.” “Subsequently, I occasionally went to investigate, but I never got anywhere.”

“Sigh, perhaps it’s because of my limited cultivation level, and I’m not destined to discover the truth.”

“But if you’re interested, you can go and take a look..”
