Record of a Demon's Cultivation-Chapter 612: The Final Farewell

Translator: Cinder Translations

---

Xing Mo put away the communication jade slip and walked out of the house, heading towards the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Shan Yue and Xing Shan were chatting happily, both of them in a good mood.

Shan Yue had little interest in cultivation.

Xing Shan had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, and before advancing to the Golden Core stage, her cultivation would make no further progress.

Therefore, for the past year, the two women had mostly spent their time immersed in a leisurely and pleasant life.

"Father."

Seeing Xing Mo appear, Xing Shan stood up and called out.

Upon seeing her father's frail appearance, Xing Shan couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow.

If it weren't for him searching for various spiritual herbs to improve her cultivation and accumulating spirit stones for her future cultivation, Father wouldn't have repeatedly ventured into dangerous places. He wouldn't have been wounded so many times in the span of just over a decade.

These repeated injuries had drained his vitality, accelerating the decline of his already aging body.

Xing Mo, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, now appeared no different from an elderly mortal.

Xing Shan's eyes reddened, and her heart ached.

"Father, come sit. The sun today is just right, and it feels so comfortable to bask in it."

Xing Shan suppressed her sadness and forced a bright smile on her face.

"Senior Xing Mo, come sit. You've been in your room for half a month. You should come out and get some air," Shan Yue invited.

Xing Mo smiled faintly. "You two sit. I have something to take care of and need to go out for a while."

"Father, where are you going?" Xing Shan asked with concern.

"I'm going to Four Symbols City to buy some spiritual herbs," Xing Mo replied.

"Father, what herbs do you need? Let me go instead. You should stay and rest at home," Xing Shan suggested.

Xing Mo smiled again, his face showing a hint of boldness.

"Shan'er, I'm a late-stage Golden Core cultivator. I'm not yet old enough to be unable to walk. I'll go myself, it won't take long."

With that, Xing Mo soared into the air, disappearing from the courtyard under the watchful eyes of Xing Shan and Shan Yue.

...

Xing Mo rose to the sky.

Up above, the wind howled fiercely, making his clothes flutter noisily.

Xing Mo looked around, seeing the circular Liangyi Island below him, and the vast ocean stretching out in the distance.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have no destination.

He had already collected the spiritual herbs required for the Obstruction Breaking Pills long ago. Now, there was nothing more for him to do but wait quietly for the day he would refine the pills.

He had initially planned to spend the last three days with his daughter.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the house and saw his daughter looking at him with a worried expression, he inexplicably felt the urge to distance himself.

He wanted to run away, afraid that he might accidentally reveal his true intentions to his daughter.

Xing Mo stood in the sky, a bitter smile slowly appearing on his face.

"Perhaps I shouldn't have promised Ji Yin that I would begin refining the pills in three days. I should have started today."

He stood there in the vast sky for three days and nights, letting the wind and frost blow through him, turning his hair and beard white.

Day and night passed.

In the distant horizon, a soft golden light began to appear.

The sun began to rise.

The golden rays bathed Xing Mo's body.

At that moment, his frail, aging figure seemed like a towering mountain standing between heaven and earth.

He descended and returned to the small courtyard.

In the courtyard, only Xing Shan remained, waiting for her father's return.

...

When Xing Mo appeared, Xing Shan's face lit up with joy, and she hurriedly greeted him.

"Father, where have you been for the past three days?" Xing Shan's voice held a hint of blame and concern.

Xing Mo gazed at his daughter, seemingly wanting to engrave her face deeply into his soul.

A smile appeared on his face, as warm and bright as the rising sun.

"I was dealing with some small matters. It took me longer than expected."

"You mustn't do this again next time," Xing Shan said with a slight reprimand as she glared at him.

"Okay," Xing Mo readily agreed.

"Go rest in the house. You're not as healthy as you were at your peak. You should rest more, it'll help you recover your energy," Xing Shan advised.

Xing Mo responded, "Not yet. I need to go out again."

Xing Shan immediately became a bit angry. "Father, you just came back. Why are you going out again? What's so urgent?" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Xing Mo replied, "Ji Yin has arrived, and I need to start refining the pills for your Golden Core. I have to go see him."

"Ji Yin has finally arrived?" Xing Shan's face was filled with joy. "Father, go quickly. The sooner you go, the sooner it'll be done."

Xing Shan's only two hopes were:

First, for her father to live out his remaining years peacefully.

Second, for her to reach the Golden Core stage. This had always been her father's wish. If she could achieve this, even if her father left one day, he would be able to leave with peace of mind.

Xing Mo looked deeply at Xing Shan.

"Take good care of yourself."

With that, Xing Mo soared into the sky and flew off.

Xing Shan watched his retreating figure in the sky, a dazed look in her eyes.

His last words filled her with a strange sadness.

Before she could understand where this sadness came from, she was interrupted by Shan Yue's voice.

"Did Senior Xing Mo just say Ji Yin has arrived?"

Shan Yue had appeared beside Xing Shan, looking up with anticipation.

Xing Shan nodded.

The two women stood there, gazing at the sky, silent for a moment.

...

Xing Mo entered Cave Dwelling No. 17 on the Phantom Gorge Mountain and saw Song Wen sitting calmly in the center of the main room.

"Ji Yin, long time no see," Xing Mo greeted.

Song Wen nodded slightly. "Brother Xing, take out the spiritual herbs you've prepared. We'll begin refining the pills immediately. The process will be a bit painful, so please bear with it."

Xing Mo paused for a moment, somewhat surprised that Song Wen went straight to the point.

He had intended to leave some final words for Song Wen to pass on to Xing Shan.

However, he quickly let go of this thought. Since he was about to leave this world, why not do so with a bit of freedom?

Xing Mo removed the storage ring from his hand and handed it to Song Wen.

"The herbs are in this ring. Please take what you need. There are also other items in the ring; I hope you can pass them on to my daughter. Also..."

Xing Mo suddenly hesitated.

Song Wen looked up at him. "Is there anything else you need to say, Brother Xing? Just let me know, as long as it's not too troublesome, I'll help you with it."

Xing Mo shook his head. "No, there's nothing. I just hope you can help me keep a secret and not tell Xing Shan about the origin of the Obstruction Breaking Pills."

Song Wen nodded. "Understood."
