Elder An's lifespan was already almost spent, with only a few short decades left. And with his aptitude, there was absolutely no chance he could advance to Lihe. For a man on the verge of death, what use was there in exhausting himself to build up such a vast foundation?
In the end, would it not all become a cup of yellow earth?
Lin Xuan had even specially looked into this man's background. Elder An had once had a son, said to have had quite decent aptitude, but more than a hundred years ago, he and his wife had both perished together.
