Mu Chen After saying the treat, he politely excused himself and went to the kitchen to arrange the dishes himself.
As soon as the door of the private room was closed, the relaxed smile on Jiang Donghua's face faded a bit. He frowned slightly, looked at Lei Lie beside him, and asked in a low voice with a hint of inquiry in his tone.
"Lao Lei, this senior Mu Chen, why do I feel that something is wrong with his aura?"
Lei Lie Hearing this, the smile on his face faded. He sighed, nodded, and lowered his rough voice.
"Did you see it too?"
He paused, seemed a little emotional, and lowered his voice.
"It's normal. He has always looked like this sick man! I, Lao Lei, have known him for several years, and I have never seen him look rosy."
Lei Lie's tone became a little regretful and angry.
"If it weren't for the drag on his body, Dou Qi's path of cultivation would never come to an end, and he wouldn't be sitting here as a cook!"
Having said this, Lei Lie glanced at the closed door warily, leaned forward slightly, and his voice almost turned into a breathy voice, with a cautiousness of sharing a secret.
"He has hidden wounds in his body! It's very troublesome!"
A glimmer of understanding flashed in Jiang Donghua's eyes. As a Fourth-grade Alchemy Master, his soul perception and sensitivity to the breath of life are far beyond ordinary people.
From the first moment I saw Mu Chen's unusually pale complexion and faint greenness, as well as his gentle but weak aura fluctuations.
Jiang Donghua has already concluded that this person definitely has a hidden illness, and it is definitely not an ordinary injury.
It's just that this hidden disease seems to be temporarily suppressed and covered up by some method or medicine. Its roots are deep and the situation is complicated.
With his current strength and level of alchemy skills, he is still unable to fully see through it. He can only feel that it is an extremely stubborn old injury that is entangled in the meridians and may even be Soul Origin.
Lei Lie didn't notice Jiang Donghua's deep gaze and continued to talk about what he knew about the situation, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Well, I heard that he has been suffering from this injury for many years."
"Inner Academy's elders have invited him, and he has secretly gone to see several of Black Corner Region's famous five, Sixth-grade Alchemy Master."
Lei Lie curled his lips, showing a look that you know, and his voice contained a hint of disdain for those so-called masters and a sense of unworthiness for his friends.
"What's the result? It's useless!"
"Money was spent, and favors were owed. Some guys even pretended to look at it for a long time, and in the end they couldn't even fart!"
"Some of them prescribed prescriptions and took a lot of weird pills, but at most they just kept him alive as he is now, and he couldn't get rid of the root cause at all!"
Having said this, Lei Lie pounded the table heavily, looking a little depressed.
"So later he gave up and just stayed here Medicine Spirit Pavilion, studying medicinal food and spirit wine to support himself, and at the same time he found a way out for himself."
"It's a pity that he has such good talent and brain."
Jiang Donghua listened quietly, tapping his fingers on the table unconsciously, his eyes flickering, and he was lost in thought.
5. Sixth-grade Alchemist is helpless to deal with the hidden injury?
The problem with Mu Chen is probably more difficult and interesting than he initially expected.
As a Fourth-grade Alchemist, Jiang Donghua has an almost instinctive interest and desire to explore various difficult and complicated diseases, especially such weird injuries that even high-level alchemists are helpless to deal with.
This is not just curiosity, but also related to his exploration of the mysteries of medicine and the human body.
He immediately looked at Lei Lie and asked.
"Lao Lei, do you know any specific information about his hidden injury? For example, where did he get this injury?"
Lei Lie heard this, a look of reminiscence appeared on his rough face, he scratched his head and said with some uncertainty.
"I don't know the specifics. This matter is considered a bit of a mystery at the Inner Academy."
"He came to the Inner Academy a few years before me. I had heard of his name when I first came in. He was very prosperous at that time!"
Lei Lie's eyes flashed with memories of the past.
"I heard that Mu Chen at that time was extremely talented and powerful. He was only half a step away from the state of Dou Wang!"
"Strong Ranking was a strong contender in the top five or even the top three at that time! He was even more popular than Qin Xiao now!"
When he said this, his tone changed, full of regret and confusion.
"But then I don't know what happened. It seemed that he came back from a mission or encountered something unexpected while training outside. Suddenly, he became this lifeless and half-dead look!"
Lei Lie spread his hands.
"No one knows the specific details, and he never talks about it himself."
"Anyway, since then, my cultivation has not advanced but retreated, and I have become taciturn. In the end, I simply left the Strong Ranking competition and stayed here to study medicinal diet."
He pointed to the door and lowered his voice.
"You should have been able to feel it just now. He is exhausted now, and his strength only fluctuates about Six-star Dou Ling!"
"This is the result of the way he managed to survive by relying on various medicinal foods, spiritual wines and his own methods!"
Lei Lie stretched out his thick fingers, gesturing at a frightening trend.
"I heard someone say that when he was at his worst, his cultivation level would drop one star in almost half a year! Watching the Dou Qi that he had worked so hard to cultivate dissipate little by little, that feeling, tsk, makes me feel uncomfortable just thinking about it."
"One star dropped in half a year?!"
Jiang Donghua Hearing this, his brows knitted tightly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
The cultivation continues to be devoured and is declining year by year...
This symptom is indeed extremely rare and strange!
Absolutely no ordinary internal injury or poisoning!
Jiang Donghua's mind immediately started running at high speed, and he fell into deep thinking, tapping his fingers on the table unconsciously.
"Is it some kind of Mysterious Poison that continues to destroy the foundation? It penetrates deep into the bone marrow and even Dou Qi Vortex, and it is difficult to eradicate even five Sixth-grade Pill?"
"Or have you practiced some extremely evil and taboo technique with huge backlash, causing damage to your origin?"
"Or did you eat something you shouldn't have?"
Jiang Donghua Several rare world treasures or Magic Core that require special methods to be refined, otherwise they will continue to erode their origins, flashed through Jiang Donghua's mind.
"Some kind of energy body with continuous devouring properties is parasitic in his body?"
Each possibility represents extremely high difficulty and risk.
This also explains why so many high-level alchemists are helpless.
Either the root cause cannot be found, or the root cause is found but unable to be eliminated, or the cost of elimination is far beyond what Mu Chen can afford.
"Interesting, really interesting!"
Jiang Donghua whispered to himself, his eyes not only did not flinch, but instead ignited a stronger flame of inquiry.
For him, this kind of challenge is the best whetstone for him to refine his alchemy skills and verify what he has learned!
