Within the Scented Flower Water Mansion.
Luo Chen looked at Li Jinhuang.
The other man sat there cross-legged, haggard and pale-faced.
The loose, ample robe that had once fit him perfectly now hung over his withered body, looking utterly empty.
Was this the state of a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator on the verge of exhausting his lifespan and passing away in meditation?
An ordinary cultivator might not have noticed.
But with Luo Chen's sharp eyesight and keen Spiritual Sense, he could clearly detect the blood and qi constantly flowing away from the other man's body.
He could no longer hold it in!
The Dao Foundation, already in decline, could no longer lock down a cultivator's blood and qi.
At that moment, his body resembled a sieve, with all his Essence, Qi, and Spirit continuously leaking out.
Facing Luo Chen's appraising gaze, Li Jinhuang remained utterly calm.
He had made no attempt at disguise, openly displaying his condition to Luo Chen in its entirety.
It was a gesture of goodwill!
It would allow Luo Chen to understand as fully as possible what a Foundation Establishment Cultivator had to face in the final stage of his life.
If Luo Chen ever fell into the same state, perhaps he could make preparations in advance.
Or rather, this gesture of goodwill had been ongoing ever since the Scented Flower River Li Family and the Pill Origin Association of Danxia Peak had established ties.
Marrying off his direct granddaughter to Danxia Mountain.
Giving him a quota for a Foundation Establishment Pill!
Helping Luo Chen handle the Spirit Communication Pill.
Even now, as his life neared its end, he was still radiating his final glow.
Luo Chen understood his intentions. He merely hoped that after he was gone, Luo Chen would look after the Li Family
