Chapter 233 Doing Something for My Hometown

This is a funeral procession of several dozen people, also known as a burial procession, which carries the deceased out of the ancestral hall in a coffin and then into a hearse to be taken to the cemetery for burial.

Now that all the dead are cremated and their ashes are turned into ashes, the number of burial sites in cemeteries is reduced by at least half. Moreover, each grave can hold four or five urns containing ashes, which can be said to be the ultimate utilization.

At the head of the procession, usually the deceased's immediate family members, such as children, would lead the way, holding a filial piety banner.

But the procession that Li Xuan saw was led by a woman in her forties holding an eleven-month-old baby, with a filial piety banner tucked into her clothes.

The white banners fluttered wildly in the wind.

The little child didn't cry or fuss as the woman held him. When he saw the deceased's photo frame in front of the coffin, he reached out several times but couldn't reach it, and then silently withdrew his hand.

Having experienced so many life-and-death situations, seeing this still weighed heavily on Li Xuan's heart...

He put down his chopsticks and silently watched the procession move forward.

The shop owner wiped his hands with a cloth, stood aside, looked at the line, and said, "Brother, the food is fine, I'll pack it up for you later. Sigh... look how pitiful the child is."

He said, “The child’s parents are young and ambitious. The mother is a primary school teacher and the father is a construction engineer. They have bright futures. Who knew that half a year ago, the mother was diagnosed with late-stage stomach cancer. Chemotherapy and targeted drugs were too late. After two treatments, it was not very effective. So the couple discussed giving up treatment and leaving some money for their child.”

I never imagined that someone in my hometown would also have cancer.

The boss seemed to see through Li Xuan's thoughts and said, "Actually, quite a few people get cancer. In the past, because information wasn't as readily available, fewer people knew about it. But now it's different. What happens in the east can be known clearly in the west within minutes..."

"This child has a terrible life, even more tragic than a Korean drama."

"His father is currently lying at home. The couple was diagnosed with cancer at the same time, and it was this father who suggested giving up treatment."

"The child himself also has leukemia."

"Hey……"

They were born specifically to suffer in this world.

Li Xuan thought so.

The funeral procession went further and further away, until it disappeared from sight after turning the corner, though the sounds of gongs and drums could still be faintly heard.

Where does this family live?

The shopkeeper said, "They live at No. 78 South Street. There's only a man in bed and an elderly couple in their sixties at home."

Li Xuan said, "Thank you, boss."

The boss asked, "Are you going to help them?"

Li Xuan nodded: "Donate two or three thousand yuan, all from the same county."

He didn't ask the owner to pack the leftovers, but patiently finished the dishes. His body, which had been cultivated, had a great appetite, and the food was absorbed very efficiently after entering his stomach and intestines, and transformed into energy that was integrated into his internal organs.

Even if several more plates were served, he could still eat them.

into the night.

Li Xuan walked out of his house, avoiding the surveillance cameras on the streetlights, and walked in the shadows, slowly blending into the shadows as he moved quickly into the distance.

There are no supernatural powers in the real world except for him.

No matter how outrageous the event, even if someone accidentally releases a bomb in public and it's recorded, it'll be categorized as AI special effects or some kind of editing. Countless such videos are uploaded worldwide every day; netizens are sick of them. In the past, they watched pixelated supernatural videos; now they watch high-definition AI-manipulated special effects. They've long since become experts, able to adaptively explain any anomaly.

However, Li Xuan remained cautious.

As long as one's strength doesn't reach the point where they can pick up the Earth and dribble it, they're not invincible. What he fears more is being invincible, only to have an enemy appear from the sky the next second...

South Street in the county town wasn't far; in just a few minutes, Li Xuan arrived at the door of the house where the funeral had taken place during the day.

Green couplets, white cloth hanging on the door, and dim orange light shining through the windows.

He checked and found no surveillance cameras installed, so he knocked on the door.

The door creaked open, revealing a 65-year-old man dressed in a black Zhongshan suit. Seeing no one outside, he frowned and called out, "Who is it? If no one's home, I'm closing the door..."

He looked down and saw a long, dark shadow on the ground, as if an invisible person was standing in front of him.

This is……

A wisp of smoke drifted towards me.

The old man felt dizzy and drowsy, and his body swayed back and forth.

Li Xuan rose from the shadows, helped the sleeping old man to a chair by the door, and went inside. He made a hand seal with his left hand and blew air in a trumpet shape with his right, causing a faint smoke to fill the house...

He walked over, and the doors on either side creaked open automatically.

Ok?
The room on the right was filled with the smell of "death." He was now immortal and was very sensitive to the smell of life on the verge of death.

The hypnotic power spread with the smoke, and a man lay on the bed in the room, covered with a blanket, emaciated, looking like a skeleton under the dim nightlight.

He was already asleep, but a trace of pain lingered on his brow.

Cancer is very devastating, lasting until life is completely over...

Li Xuan walked in and looked around. There were wedding photos on the wall. The couple weren't particularly beautiful or handsome, but they were so well-matched, as if they were destined to be together for life.

On the bedside table was a photo of a one-month-old baby, his slightly wrinkled little face making him look like a little old man.

Li Xuan sat down beside the man's bed, his left hand forming a hand seal and pressing on the man's crown. The feeling of the skin and bones was somewhat indescribable. He chanted a spell from the Seventy-Two Arts, channeling his magical power into the man in the form of "medicine".

His gaze followed his magical power to probe everything in the way, and finally he found more than a dozen tumors of varying sizes in the man's liver, which occupied three-quarters of the liver. In this case, unless he received a liver transplant, he would surely die!
Even without rejection, a liver transplant only extends lifespan by a few years.

A tumor with medicinal properties was wrapped around the liver. This thing was actually part of the person's own body, but it endlessly absorbed nutrients to grow without providing any value, thus becoming a vampire that sucked the body's very essence...

The tumor throbbed slightly, then was pulverized by magic, turning into dust at the cellular level. Li Xuan helped the man up, gathered the cancer cells together, and then patted his back forcefully!
The man let out a groan, spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground, and then collapsed back down.

The cancer cells had been extracted. This was the first time Li Xuan had performed such a delicate procedure, which took only ten minutes, yet it had caused a layer of sweat to appear on the forehead of this Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation cultivator.

The liver has lost some cancer cells, leaving a gap that requires meticulous surgical repair. Otherwise, the patient would die within two minutes from massive bleeding due to the liver rupture...

The task is complete.

Li Xuan covered the man with the blanket, then turned and went to another room. He saw the child sleeping with his grandmother; they were all in a deep sleep...

He held the child in his arms and used his magic to examine him. There are two types of leukemia: congenital and environmental. Congenital leukemia is caused by chromosomal abnormalities, which involves genetics. Unless one has specialized training, even the most subtle procedures will not reveal the cause.
