Li Yun had mastered the Innate Divine Ability All Things Return to Origin, which allowed him to replenish his own Life Origin. He had always been far more sensitive to Life Origin than others.
The moment he saw Yuan Qi, he sensed that the loss of Life Origin within Yuan Qi's body was somewhat abnormal.
However, this concerned another person's private matters, so he could not pry too deeply.
But now that Chen Jiuxu had taken the initiative to ask him to examine Yuan Qi, the situation was different.
So he said, "Elder Yuan, why don't you let this disciple examine you first?"
"Earlier outside, Elder Gu also asked this disciple to treat someone named Xu Ming. His injuries were caused by actively burning his Life Origin."
Yuan Qi paused, then said, "All right, have a look. But don't put too much pressure on yourself. I've had these injuries for many years. Even if they can't be cured, I'm mentally prepared."
"This disciple understands."
Li Yun did not say more. He had Yuan Qi sit down and carefully examined him.
About a quarter of an hour later.
Li Yun withdrew his means and frowned. "Sect Master, Elder Yuan... forgive this disciple for speaking frankly. The loss of Elder Yuan's Life Origin is already quite severe. Yet this is not merely an aftereffect of burning Life Origin; it is also because Elder Yuan is advanced in years."
"Ah, then do you have a way?"
"Jiuxu... didn't I say that asking was only for peace of mind? Don't make things difficult for Li Yun."
Li Yun glanced at Yuan Qi, raised a thumb, and praised, "Elder Yuan truly deserves to be the Sea-Calming Pillar of our Celestial Martial Sect. You see through life and death with remarkable clarity."
Yuan Qi laughed heartily.
