As Li Yun grew older, he began to think about the next generation of cultivators and the future of the cultivation world.
He knew that he couldn't protect the world forever, and he wanted to ensure that there were others who were skilled and honorable enough to take up the mantle.
So, he began training a new apprentice, a young orphan named Mei. Like Li Yun, Mei had a strong desire to become a cultivator and make a difference in the world.
Under Li Yun's guidance, Mei quickly proved to be a talented and dedicated student, and Li Yun was proud to see her grow and improve.
As the years passed, Li Yun grew old and his cultivation skills began to fade. But he was content, knowing that he had done his part and that Mei was ready to take on the role of protector.
On his deathbed, surrounded by his loved ones, Li Yun bid farewell to the world, knowing that he had lived a fulfilling and meaningful life.
As Mei took on the role of immortal cultivator, she remembered the lessons and guidance of her mentor, Li Yun, and vowed to continue his legacy of protecting the world and those she cared about.
