Extra - Li Qingzhu (1)

ucked behind a large tree, only then was he spared from danger and escaped unharmed.After dealing with those from the Special Circumstances, Gerald burst into laughter and said: "These guys are too we...Ye Bufan had just finished dealing with the affairs of Jueqing Valley and was preparing to return to Earth with his companions. A tremor came from the transmission jade talisman, it was from Li Dao ran.

"Boy, hurry over here, or you'll miss seeing old man for the last time!"

Ye Bufan's brows furrowed. This old man who loved to drink was still quite good. Back when he was in the Kunlun Continent, he had received a lot of help and care from him.

It seems like they've run into some trouble. I better go take a look myself.

Knowing that he was going to Shuimu University, Xia Qing insisted on going with him. Ye Qingtan and the others were the same way.

Yè Búfán was besieged by them and had no choice but to say goodbye to the magic-eyed golden lion couple. He took the two little lions and went to Shuǐmù University with them.

Tian Luo Prefecture has undergone earth-shattering changes from before.

Among the former Five States, it was the weakest one. But now, with various formations laid down by Ye Bufan and countless immortal crystals buried within, its spiritual energy is richer than any other state.

Especially the University of Shui Mu, the spiritual energy there is so thick it's almost tangible. Just taking a breath feels incredibly refreshing.

And the area is much larger than before, encompassing countless territories, comparable to a small country.

And it holds an extremely high status, absolutely the first academy in the entire cultivation world. Its status is comparable to that of the three great holy gates.

Over the past two decades, the number of tribulation transcending experts who have ascended to higher realms is even greater than the total number from the three major sacred gates. Under the nourishment of dense spiritual energy, most of the cultivators rescued by Ye Bufan from Paradise Island have already ascended.

For example, He Hongying and Feng Xiaoxiao, these people originally had strong cultivation bases and high talents. They didn't take long to ascend to the Immortal Realm after stationed at Shuimu University.

In contrast, the number of Transcending Tribulation Stage powerhouses has decreased now, but their status remains unshakeable throughout the entire continent.

All major sects and influential families are eager to send their disciples here. Under these circumstances, if Shui Mu University issued an order, it would undoubtedly receive a massive response, with even greater influence than the three great holy gates.

Ye Bufan arrived here without disturbing too many people, and landed directly in a small courtyard at the back of the mountain.

This is the residence of Li Daoran and his granddaughter, Li Qingzhu. It doesn't look large, but it is exquisitely built.

After Shui Mu University's status was firmly established, Li Dao-ran directly retreated to the second line, handing over the entire academy to his granddaughter, who served as vice president. He spent his days tending flowers and drinking wine.

The courtyard was very quiet and there were no idle people.

Ye Bufan pushed the door open and walked in, he was startled to see the old man on the bed.

Normally, he left behind a large amount of cultivation resources. Even if Li Dao-ran wasn't focused on it, he could at least reach the peak of the Great Ascension stage, and with a little luck, he could even reach the Tribulation Transcending Stage.

And now his hair and beard were a tangled mess, his face was pale, and his breath was shallow. He looked utterly on the verge of death.

"Old man, what's wrong with you"

Ye Bufan was about to go and take Li Dao'ran's pulse, but he waved him off.

"It's useless, one knows their own situation best. Their time is drawing near, I estimate they have only a few hours left."

The old man's breath was weak, and his words came out in broken fragments. After a pause, he continued, "This time out on my journey of experience, I was injured by someone, my heart meridian is severed, even the gods can't save me."

He died without regret. He had lived a full life.

Now that Shuimu University has become the top academy on Kunlun Continent, even if I go to the underworld, I'll have the face to meet my ancestors.

His words were filled with emotion, and several girls around him looked moved.

Xia Qing said: "Old man, don't worry, my big brother can save you. With him around, you can't even die if you want to."

"It's useless, I know my own situation best."

Li Daoran's murky eyes fixed on Ye Bufan, "Boy, if you want to remember the old feelings, then promise this old man one thing."

Ye Bufan nodded: "Go on, what do you want me to do"

“If you marry my granddaughter, I won't have many good hours left to live. You should consummate the marriage with her today, so that when I die, I can rest in peace.”

Li Daoran's expression was dim, and even two drops of turbid tears rolled down his face. "My Li family almost faced extinction, leaving only me and my grandson. If the old man is gone, I fear that girl won't be able to bear it alone."

"You two were considered fellow disciples back in the day. For old man's sake, how about you agree to my request"

When he finished speaking, his eyes were filled with longing, almost pathetic.

Several young girls watched with touching emotion. Ye Luoshan tugged at her father's sleeve, her bright eyes full of pleading.

Ye Bufan sniffed the air and looked around. “There’s no smell of alcohol, old man. You haven’t had a drink in days, have you”

"Uh..."

Li Dao ran's face was full of astonishment. He didn't expect him to say that.

"Old man, I'm too badly injured now to drink. Otherwise, I'll die even faster!"

"Too bad, I've got some good wine here!"

Ye Bufan spoke, his wrist flipping, a delicate porcelain altar appearing in his palm. He opened the lid, and a rich aroma of wine instantly dissipated, filling the entire room.

"What a good wine! This is truly excellent!"

Li Dao's expression changed instantly, smelling the aroma of wine with a face full of intoxication. Even though he kept swallowing, he couldn't control the saliva running down his chin.

The old man had no hobbies in his life, only a fondness for alcohol. At this moment, he was completely out of control.

Of course it's good wine, this is made from fresh fruit I picked from the fairy world. It's brewed according to the methods of Wuliangye and has been nurtured by underground spiritual energy for twenty years.

"It was originally intended to prepare a dowry for Xiao Ye using the method of Daughter's Red, but there wasn't enough alcohol and the number of daughters kept increasing. After thinking about it, I decided to just drink it myself."

Ye Bufan spoke, pouring himself a cup and taking a beautiful sip. He smacked his lips, looking intoxicated.

"It's delicious, so delicious! I haven't had such a good drink in years!"

"Boy, give me a swig of that!"

Li Dao-ran was sprawled on the bed, he was simply too hungry to bear it.

"That's out of the question, you've been so badly injured, drinking will only worsen your condition and could be fatal. You absolutely can't drink."

Ye Bufan said to Ye Qingtan, "Quickly get a bucket of water and give grandpa some water. Otherwise, the bedding will be wet."

He kept talking while fanning the air towards Li DaoRan, waving away the smell of alcohol.

"You little rascal, hurry up and give me a sip! Are you trying to starve me to death"

Li Dao-ran couldn't stand it anymore, he jumped up from the bed with a grunt and reached for the wine jar.

Ye Bufan gently dodged to the side, a playful smile on his face: "Old man, with your injuries, you really shouldn't be drinking."

"Mind your own business! Just give me a drink, damn it. It's better to die than starve!"

Li Dao ran was so anxious that he bounced his feet, and in his agitated state, a streak of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Are you crazy, old man Why are you beating yourself up so hard What's the point"

Ye Bufan spoke, taking out a pill and shoving it into his mouth.

The pill melted in his mouth instantly, and his wounds quickly began to heal. However, Li Daoran was too embarrassed to care about that.

"Kid, how did you figure that out"
