Chapter 1269 Xu Xiufan Passes Away
“Grandpa, I know you love white flower tea the most. Over the years, I’ve had some free time and have grown a lot of white flower tea. You can keep it and drink it slowly.”
As Xu Xiufan spoke, he took out a storage bag and handed it to Xu Changshou.
Xu Changshou opened the storage bag and glanced inside. He was immediately stunned to see that the storage bag contained a mountain of white flower tea.
Turning his gaze away, Xu Changshou glanced at the white-haired Xu Xiufan again, and couldn't help but feel a little teary-eyed.
"Good boy, you have a heart!"
It turns out that Xu Xiufan had been planting tea all these years to accumulate white flower tea for himself.
Xu Changshou understood Xu Xiufan's thoughts. In his view, he didn't have much time left, so in his final days, he wanted to plant as many white tea flowers as possible for his grandfather to drink.
Xu Xiufan didn't know how long Xu Changshou would live, so he planted a lot of white camellias.
His filial piety deeply moved Xu Changshou.
In the days that followed, the grandfather and grandson kept each other company, and they hardly ever left the Xu family's old house.
Xu Xiufan's health was deteriorating day by day.
More than twenty years later, Xu Xiufan finally couldn't hold on any longer.
On this day, in the main hall in the backyard, Xu Changshou sat in the highest seat, while Xu Xiufan and Ye Yuzhu sat opposite him, below him.
In addition, there were more than thirty Nascent Soul cultivators standing in the main hall.
The atmosphere in the main hall was unusually heavy, and everyone wore a somber expression.
Xu Changshou lowered his eyes and looked at his white-haired grandson, and a wave of sorrow washed over him.
Xu Xiufan is now Xu Changshou's only living relative, and he carries Xu Changshou's longing for Xu Chengzhi and Ye Shanhu.
If Xu Changshou were to die peacefully in seclusion, he would have no relatives left.
The path of cultivation is long and arduous, and one has no relatives in the world.
Xu Xiufan held Ye Yuzhu's hand and took one last look at his grandfather. His aged eyes were filled with deep reluctance.
"Grandpa, your unfilial grandson is taking his leave first."
Xu Changshou nodded slightly and waved gently at him.
"The auspicious time has arrived. We respectfully send our great-great-grandfather to heaven."
From the crowd, a cultivator at the Integration Realm shouted.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Xiufan and Ye Yuzhu closed their eyes at the same time. As they moved, their cultivation levels began to drop.
The union is complete.
Late stage of fusion.
Mid-stage of fusion.
The early stage of fusion.
Become a god.
Nascent Soul.
Golden elixir.
Build the foundation.
Qi Refining.
"Father, Mother! No!"
Xu Donghe's heart-wrenching cries echoed through the main hall.
"Father, Mother, don't leave your child. What will I do if you leave?"
"Great-great-grandfather, don't go!"
"Respectfully sending off our distant ancestor to heaven, sob sob sob!"
"Grandpa Tianzu, may you rest in peace."
"Grandpa the Great Ancestor, my Grandpa the Great Ancestor, waaaaah!"
"Woooooooo..."
In an instant, the entire hall was filled with the sound of weeping.
Xu Changshou watched all this with red eyes and a blank expression, seemingly forgetting his grief.
hum...
Suddenly, Ye Yuzhu and Xu Xiufan's souls floated out of their bodies, their souls intertwined and weakening at a visible speed.
The two souls finally floated into Xu Changshou's palm. Like two candle flames, they grew smaller and smaller until they disappeared.
At the moment Xu Xiufan's soul dissipated, a crystal tear fell into Xu Changshou's palm.
"Xiu Fan, my good child, my child!"
At that moment, Xu Changshou suddenly felt empty; there was no one left in this world for him to cherish.
"Coral, Chengzhi, did you see that? Xiufan went to find you."
"Xiu Fan, my child, it's because your grandfather is incompetent!"
"Father, Mother, please don't leave your child, I beg you, don't leave your child, I don't want you to die."
"Grandpa, waaaaah..."
"Great-great-grandfather, may you rest in peace! Waaah..."
"Grandpa Tianzu, my Grandpa Tianzu, waaaaah!"
"Woooooooo..."
Inside the main hall, the cries of the people grew even more mournful.
Xu Donghe, grieving the loss of both his parents, was now weeping uncontrollably.
Xu Changshou patted his storage bag, tossed out two dark coffins, and said to Xu Donghe, "Donghe, prepare your parents' bodies for burial."
"Yes!"
Xu Donghe wiped away his tears and carefully prepared the bodies of Xu Xiufan and Ye Yuzhu for burial.
Then, he put the black coffin into his storage bag.
Xu Changshou glanced at Xu Donghe and instructed, "Send someone to the Dongyu Immortal Realm to bury your father's and mother's bodies together next to your grandparents' graves."
"My grandson knows."
"Go."
"Yes!"
Xu Changshou waved his hand, and Xu Donghe led the group away.
Only Xu Changshou and the Fire Qilin remained in the main hall.
At this moment, the Fire Qilin had become even older, and looking at the aged Fire Qilin, Xu Changshou felt an indescribable emptiness in his heart.
"Fire element!"
"Is the disciple here?"
"what's your plan?"
"I……"
The fire qilin hesitated for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "I don't have much time left to live, so let me use my last days to guard the Xu family's old house for Uncle Xu."
Xu Changshou frowned upon hearing this. Clearly, the Fire Qilin's plan was to stay in the Xu family's old house and wait to die.
After Xu Xiufan passed away, Xu Changshou could no longer stay in Mudong Divine City, nor could he return specifically for the Fire Qilin's Dao-transcending ceremony. In that case, the Fire Qilin could only grow old and die alone.
Thinking of this, Xu Changshou felt a pang of reluctance. With a thought, he said, "Come with me."
"Where to?" Fire Qilin asked, startled.
"Donghua Immortal Gate!"
That's right.
Xu Changshou planned to bring the Fire Qilin into the Donghua Immortal Sect. If the Fire Qilin were human, it would be impossible to bring it into the Donghua Immortal Sect.
However, he is a demon cultivator. When he enters the Donghua Immortal Sect, as long as he transforms into his original form and claims that he is his demon pet, he can be brought into the Donghua Immortal Sect.
Upon hearing this, the Fire Qilin's face lit up with joy: "Uncle-Master Xu, may I enter the Donghua Immortal Sect?"
"can!"
"That's great, I'll go with you!"
"Let's go!"
With a wave of his sleeve, Xu Changshou summoned the fire unicorn and left the Xu family's old residence.
Soon, Xu Changshou flew out of Mu Dong Divine City.
After flying out of Mu Dong Divine City, Xu Changshou summoned the Thunder Boat, which carried the Fire Qilin and continued flying eastward.
Feeling the terrifying speed of the Thunder Boat, the Fire Qilin was extremely excited; it had never been so fast in its life.
"Uncle-Master Xu, what kind of flying boat is this? How can it be so fast!"
Xu Changshou laughed and said, "This is a mid-grade magic treasure, the Thunder Boat. Its normal cruising speed is 12,000 yuan, and its maximum speed is 15,000 yuan."
"So fast!"
The fire qilin was stunned.
A top speed of 15,000 yuan—what does that mean?
An hour later, Xu Changshou arrived at Cape City with the Fire Qilin.
Then, they entered the vast sea from Cape City.
Back then, Xu Changshou's first stop upon arriving in the Sangyu Immortal Realm was Haijiao City.
He remembered that the first time he traveled from Cape City to Mudong Divine City, it took him a full half-month on a ground-rail airship.
Now, Xu Changshou can travel from Mudong Divine City to Haijiao City in just one hour.
The speed is hundreds or thousands of times faster than it was back then.
