Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 193 - 182: Six Months Later【2-in-1 Chapter!】_3
Luoxia Sect first occupied a significant portion of the Juyun Mountain Range by a fortuitous coincidence, thus becoming the dominant power in the region. Now, with the acquisition of the Vibrant Sun Pill, they are able to cultivate even more Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Given time, Luoxia Sect might well achieve the status of a sect like Xuanyuan Sect.
Juyun Mountain Range could also become a sacred site in the hearts of sects and cultivators across hundreds of thousands of miles, just like Xuanyuan Water Realm!
"Luoxia Sect is truly fortunate to have Elder Lu!"
Yue Lingxi couldn’t help but exclaim, "I never expected that in my lifetime, I would have the hope to see the rise of Luoxia Sect."
"Sister."
Zhou Yuan and the others felt moved upon hearing this.
Lu Qingfeng looked towards this supremely elderly Supreme Elder, feeling somewhat emotional as well.
It had been five years since he entered Luoxia Sect from Crying Swamp. When he first met Yue Lingxi five years ago, she was already aged, yet there was still a gleam in her eyes.
But over the years, she had grown increasingly old and her eyes gradually murky.
Just now, Mei Qingyan and Zhou Yuan were chatting happily, while Yue Lingxi simply laughed lightly from the sidelines, rarely speaking out, always seeming weary.
The last time Lu Qingfeng saw Yue Lingxi was about seven or eight months ago.
Seeing her now, he felt a heavy twilight aura about her.
It seemed that her time was nearing.
"Sister, with the prosperity of the sect within reach, why not wait a bit longer to witness Luoxia Sect’s rise in the Juyun Mountain Range and be revered from all sides?"
Zhou Yuan took out a jade box from his waist and handed it to Yue Lingxi, "Out of the Juyun Four Sects, only our Luoxia Sect remains. On the next trip to Hundred Herbs Garden, we can monopolize sixteen Foundation Establishment slots. A mere Returning Yang Fruit is not so precious."
Lu Qingfeng looked at the jade box.
Naturally, what was contained in the jade box was the Returning Yang Fruit that could extend one’s life by ten years.
"Forget it."
"What’s the use of living an empty life for another decade? Leave it for the younger generation."
Yue Lingxi waved her hand, still refusing it.
Zhou Yuan held the jade box, a gloomy expression on his face. Sui Hanshan remained silent, Mei Qingyan was anxious and about to persuade further, but seeing the exhaustion on Yue Lingxi’s face, he held back.
Yue Lingxi was resigned.
Facing death with considerable composure.
She knew that even with an additional ten years of life, there was no hope for her to advance to Spirit Void. Hence, living hollowly for ten more years would be pointless, and the Returning Yang Fruit would be wasted.
Zhou Yuan spoke lightly.
It seemed as if, after Luoxia Sect became the sole great power in the Juyun Mountain Range, there would be as many Returning Yang Fruits as needed. But how could Yue Lingxi not know that, regardless of the situation, such life-extending Spirit Fruits are always in high demand.
Using one more would likely steal an opportunity from the younger generation, depriving Luoxia Sect of a potential Spirit Void Practitioner.
Thus, she was resolute.
Seeing this, Lu Qingfeng felt admiration. He questioned himself, if his end was approaching and an extra ten years were before him, he was afraid he couldn’t be so indifferent, disregarding others!
"Why put on such a childish demeanor!"
Yue Lingxi, though weary, chuckled and scolded, then looked at Lu Qingfeng and slowly said, "I may not live to see the day when Luoxia Sect’s Foundation Establishment Cultivators are as numerous as clouds, but with Elder Lu here, I believe Luoxia Sect will certainly thrive!"
"Elder Lingxi."

Lu Qingfeng responded, unsure how to reply.
Seeing the atmosphere becoming heavy, Yue Lingxi smiled, pulled a cloth bag from Mei Qingyan’s waist, and placed it before Lu Qingfeng.
"This is—"
Lu Qingfeng guessed what was in the storage bag, but still looked up at Yue Lingxi.
Only to hear Yue Lingxi say, "This is what Junior Mei and I collected from various fellow Daoists and Water Realm Shop while at Xuanyuan Water Realm; all the materials listed by Elder Lu."
"Thank you both for your efforts."
Lu Qingfeng accepted and repeatedly thanked.
He knew the intentions of the two, as well as those of Zhou Yuan and Han Shan. Although they meant to befriend and ingratiate themselves, the fact that they had made such effort for his sake, especially Yue Lingxi, who had spent half a year’s efforts collecting various materials for him despite her frail health, deeply moved Lu Qingfeng.
"No trouble at all."
"I also wanted to go out and see things before my departure. Xuanyuan Water Realm is truly remarkable, Xuanyuan Sect as well... not bad... not bad....."
Yue Lingxi’s voice grew fainter, her head slowly drooped, eventually falling silent.
"Sister—"
Zhou Yuan stood up, took a few steps back, and bowed deeply.
Mei Qingyan turned away with red eyes.
Han Shan’s eyes reddened, he closed his eyes.
"Sigh!"
Lu Qingfeng watched as Yue Lingxi’s life extinguished like a candle flame, and sighed deeply.
