In the world of Tianyuan, "the elderly" are a rare sight.
It is not that resources in Tianyuan are so scarce that one must be killed off upon reaching old age; rather, it is because the vast majority of its inhabitants are cultivators. Once one reaches the Qi Refining stage, the aging process of the physical body slows down significantly. Even at the moment of death, one’s appearance rarely exceeds that of a person in their fifties or sixties.
With the addition of cosmetic surgeries and longevity pills, anyone with sufficient funds—even a grandmother nearing the end of her natural lifespan—can maintain a youthful, supple body and a face that remains pleasing to the eye.
