He studied immortal recipes at home, watched flowers and enjoyed music. He did not interact with outsiders for 16 years and enjoyed himself. In the third year of Xianqing (Year 658), Yuchi Jingde died of illness at the age of 74. For this reason, Emperor Gaozong abandoned the court for three days and held a mourning ceremony.

There was no mention of Yuchi Jingde in Tian Lianyuan's book, Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. This was probably because Yuchi Jingde was not included in the original novel. Yuchi Jingde was a character in Water Margins, while Water Margins and Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties were novels created by different authors. Therefore, due to copyright issues, it might not be possible to appear in both works at the same time.
