"Your body..."
Qin Sheng placed a hand on Xiao Yan's shoulder and carefully examined him.
Xiao Yan looked hopeful as he waited for Qin Sheng's guidance. A Tier 6 Alchemist could definitely cure him!
"You're somewhat deficient in kidney qi."
"You quack—"
"But I can treat it."
"...Divine physician, you really can?"
In just a few breaths, Xiao Yan put on an exquisite display of changing expressions.
Qin Sheng smiled. "Do you mean your Dou Qi problem, or other matters?"
Could I really have kidney deficiency?
Xiao Yan began questioning his life. A dignified Tier 6 Alchemist definitely would not make a mistake.
No, I'm only fifteen! How could I already be deficient?!
I can't accept this!
"I want to treat both, Senior. Is there a way?" Xiao Yan asked cautiously.
"Yes."
Qin Sheng nodded. "I already know why your Dou Qi suddenly vanished. Come with me. The others needn't follow."
After leaving the reception hall, Qin Sheng glanced toward a patch of shadow outside.
A Dou Huang with the Dark Attribute was concealed there.

The Xiao Family's back mountain.
Xiao Yan impatiently asked, "Senior, why did my Dou Qi disappear?"
Qin Sheng's gaze fell upon the ancient black ring on Xiao Yan's hand.
"Give it to me."
Xiao Yan froze. It was a keepsake his mother had left behind, one he had worn all these years.
After taking off the ring and handing it to Qin Sheng, Xiao Yan felt puzzled.
"My friend," Qin Sheng said to the ring.
"Hiding in the shadows and draining a young man's vital essence every day... that doesn't seem like very proper behavior, does it?"
Xiao Yan was shocked. This ring had been draining his vital essence?
Had he encountered a female ghost?
"Hehe."
