Land of Revival

"Elder Yang, you... how did you end up looking like this?"

The spiritual invitation Yang Yiguan had left for Ye Zhen had not mentioned the Five Elements Blood Fusion Pill. It had merely said that the matter was of great importance and that he wished to speak with Ye Zhen in person, leaving only an address within the invitation.

When Ye Zhen met Beast Taming Sect Elder Yang Yiguan in a secluded residence within Qinglan Martial Capital, he was greatly shocked as well.

Had Yang Yiguan's distinctive goat beard not still been there, Ye Zhen would scarcely have dared believe that this man was the imposing Beast Taming Sect elder he had met half a year ago.

Yang Yiguan was now gaunt to the bone. Not only was his complexion sallow, part of his hair had turned white, making him look like an ordinary old man of seventy or eighty. It was as though he had aged several decades overnight.

For a martial artist, such a thing was basically impossible. When a martial artist displayed the sort of aging seen in ordinary people, it meant only one thing—his lifespan was nearly exhausted, and death was not far away.

Ye Zhen also discovered that Yang Yiguan's aura had weakened considerably compared to before. Only after examining it closely did he realize that Yang Yiguan's cultivation aura had fallen from the peak of the sixth level of the Pulse Forging Realm to the early sixth level of the Pulse Forging Realm.

His cultivation had dropped by an entire level. Had it not been for the fact that a Pulse Forging Realm martial artist's martial veins were not easily scattered after being forged, Yang Yiguan's cultivation would probably have fallen to the fifth level of the Pulse Forging Realm by now.

"Cough, cough!"
