Investigation, Yao Chen

Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Yan, a hint of helplessness on his face. Being an experienced and shrewd man, he naturally noticed the problem with Xiao Yan's tone.

Fearing he might displease Xiao Ming, he quickly added, "Yan'er is rather aloof..."

"No need for further explanation, I understand. Let's get started." Xiao Ming responded by extending his hand.

"Okay, okay..." Xiao Zhan Xiao Ming. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly. Of course he was willing to get treatment done as soon as possible.

"What should we do first?" Xiao Zhan asked nervously.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan nervously clenched his hands.

"Don't be so nervous. Before that, let me understand his specific situation," Xiao Ming said calmly to Xiao Zhan, then turned to Xiao Yan and asked, "Tell me, when did your Dou Qi start to disappear?"

Standing before Xiao Ming, Xiao Yan frowned and recalled for a moment before speaking with a bitter tone, "More than two years ago, I had just broken through to the Dou Zhe and had just received the Cultivation Method from my family. Just as I was about to begin practicing, the Qi Cyclone within my body suddenly shattered without warning. And I fell from Dou Zhe to Dou Qi."

"At that time, I thought it was because I was practicing the Cultivation Method incorrectly. However, over time, my cultivation level kept declining until it stopped at the Dou Qi Power Stage Three. This was not due to the Cultivation Method at all. They said there was a problem with my body. Later, my father took me to see many people, but they couldn't find a solution. Even Fourth Grade Alchemist couldn't help me."

Towards the end, Xiao Yan's voice trembled with pain, suggesting that the repeated failures in seeking medical help had placed immense pressure on his mental well-being.

"What did the people who treated you say? Focus on the opinion of that Fourth Grade Alchemist," Xiao Ming asked curiously.

"They all say they can't see anything wrong, and that Fourth Grade Alchemist even said I'm not sick at all! That's utter nonsense, my cultivation level has clearly regressed!"

Xiao Yan thought the Fourth Grade Alchemist was talking nonsense, but Xiao Ming inwardly agreed, saying, "He's right, you really aren't sick."

Of course, he couldn't say this to Xiao Yan. After a moment of silence, Xiao Ming slowly said, "I understand. Sit down, let me examine you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan walked over to the chair next to Xiao Ming and sat down. He watched as Xiao Ming walked towards him and put his hand on him, feeling a surge of excitement.

I kept repeating to myself, "I must find the cause of the illness, I must find the cause of the illness."

Xiao Zhan, standing beside him, also felt his heart race, praying that Xiao Ming could find the cause of the illness.

You have to understand that Xiao Ming is the top Alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire. If he still can't find the problem, then he really doesn't know what to do.

Under their gaze, Xiao Ming slowly opened his tightly closed eyes and then slowly shook his head at them.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan's face instantly turned deathly pale, and Xiao Zhan's expression also became extremely ugly.

"Supreme Elder, this..."

"My conclusion is consistent with that Fourth Grade Alchemist's: Xiao Yan's body has no problems whatsoever. Not only is it fine, but he's perfectly healthy!"

"But Yan'er, there really is a problem with his cultivation level. It's not that I don't believe you, but could you please take another look?" Xiao Zhan said, still somewhat Undying to give up.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming sighed.

In fact, he had just been using his Soul Power to probe Xiao Yan's body, and he hadn't held back at all; he was probing with all his might.

The result was that Xiao Yan's body was fine.

This is a result that can be detected. If we use Soul Power, we can directly capture Old Man Yao, and he will capture him directly. If we can detect it but he doesn't say anything, given Xiao Yan's rather extreme personality, he might hold a grudge against him later.

Stagnation

But as it turns out, Old Man Yao Dou Zun Realm was not fake; he hid it very well and did not reveal a single clue.

The fact that he couldn't find anything by using his Soul Power confirmed one thing for Xiao Ming: that old bastard Yao Chen was definitely awake now.

If it were an unconscious Soul Body, it would be impossible for it to escape the full detection of his Mortal Realm Perfection Soul Power, even if Old Man Yao's Na Ring had the function of hiding the soul!

Moreover, years of cultivation have made Xiao Ming realize that Soul Body does not need or can absorb Dou Qi.

The Soul Body can recover its power by absorbing Dou Qi is utter nonsense.

The Old Man Yao that Xiao Yan dispelled the medicine's Dou Qi was definitely intentional.

Xiao Ming's guess was correct. At this moment, in Xiao Yan's Na Ring, a somewhat illusory figure of an old man with a white beard murmured with some alarm.

"Such astonishing Soul Power! To achieve such accomplishments at such a young age, Xiao Ming is truly a prodigy. If it weren't for the Bone Flame Ring, I definitely wouldn't have been able to escape his detection today."

No one knew what Yao Chen was thinking inside the Na Ring. Outside, Xiao Ming, seeing Xiao Zhan's pleading eyes, lent a hand again, this time Xiao Ming making a bigger commotion.

Xiao Yan only sensed something enormous enveloping his body, almost his entire body seemingly exposed to Xiao Ming's gaze.

This feeling of being naked was unpleasant, but Xiao Yan still suppressed his shame and looked at Xiao Ming with expectant eyes.

After a long while, Xiao Ming opened his eyes and spoke helplessly.

"No, the result is the same as before; Xiao Yan is not sick. Perhaps my strength is insufficient to detect it."

"..." Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow, and his mind became somewhat muddled.

Xiao Ming's strength is lacking? How could his strength be lacking? What is Grade Six Alchemist? He is someone who stands above countless people in the Jia Ma Empire.

Is there really no way to save his body?

Feeling very upset, Xiao Zhan and his son took their leave.

Not long after they left, Zi Yan, who was standing to the side, spoke up in a clear voice, "Xiao Ming, you must have discovered something about that person just now, right?"

"Oh, why do you say that?" Sitting in his chair, Xiao Ming asked with great interest.

"Because you used all your strength when you examined that person just now, which shows that you take this illness very seriously. But then you said you didn't find any problems and let him leave easily. That's not like you," Zi Yan said with a grin.

Having spent so many years with Xiao Ming understands her personality very well, and similarly, Zi Yan understands Xiao Ming's personality very well.

In Zi Yan's mind, as long as Xiao Ming takes a problem seriously, he will study it very seriously for a long time.

Letting Xiao Yan leave instead of keeping him and checking him dozens of times is simply unreasonable.

The only explanation is that Xiao Ming already knows the cause of that person's illness.

"I wasn't wrong just now. His body is indeed fine. The reason his Dou Qi Realm has regressed is due to other factors. He'll be able to recover his natural talent soon. There's no benefit for me to interfere," Xiao Ming explained, patting Zi Yan's head.

Zi Yan nodded as if she understood, then stopped caring. Whether Xiao Yan recovered or not was none of her business.
