Upon hearing that Yan Kongyi, whom he had known for sixty years, was about to pass away, Li Ji'an was not surprised.
Two years ago when they met in the Immortal City, Yan Kongyi was already one hundred and thirty years old. Despite being proficient in health preservation techniques, he was nearly at his limit. Li Ji'an had estimated that he had less than ten years to live.
Unexpectedly, Yan Kongyi did not wait for a natural death but chose to make one last contribution to his family with his aged body.
Three days ago, during the United Marketplace defense battle, Yan Kongyi faced the harassment of the roving bandits and chose to exchange his life for another. With a Self-Destruction Talisman on his body, he fought desperately to kill a Qi Cultivation Peak leader among the bandits and used a Life-Saving Escape Talisman to keep himself alive.
