Hearing Wang Hao's method, Ma Yuxuan's mouth twitched. "Senior, will this really work?"
"Of course it will. I've tried it myself."
"More than two hundred thousand years ago, Chen Changsheng and I went to the Netherworld Epoch together."
"The moment we arrived, a vast amount of Origin Qi poured into my body."
"To keep my body from turning into an Eerie Treasure, do you know how much flesh I had to cut away?"
"So you managed to solve the problem completely, Senior?"
Ma Yuxuan suddenly grew excited. Since his troubles began, this was the first time he had heard of anyone facing something like his own condition.
"I can't solve your condition."
"Why?"
"Didn't your body turn into an Eerie Treasure back then too, Senior?"
Faced with Ma Yuxuan's confusion, Wang Hao said calmly, "Our bodies only began turning into Eerie Treasures under certain conditions."
"As soon as we learned that Origin Qi eroded cultivators' bodies, we protected our vital cores."
"As long as our core essence wasn't eroded, the worst we stood to lose was some flesh and Qi and Blood."
"But you're different. Your body has already accepted Origin Qi's transformation in full."
"Put simply, your body is already an Eerie Treasure. It just hasn't fully matured yet."
"With the methods I know, I have no way to turn an Eerie Treasure back into a person."
"If your body had already completed its transformation, you wouldn't even have room to struggle."
At that answer, Ma Yuxuan sighed helplessly.
Zi Ping, who had been watching all this time, spoke up.
"Heaven never seals off every road. As long as you don't give up, there'll be a chance someday."
"For now, hold back the transformation of your body. We'll help you with the other difficulties."
Hearing this, Ma Yuxuan nodded.
