"That should be it, unless I'm mistaken." Ye Xuan nodded.
He looked at Xu Zhen with some surprise. From his tone, it seemed the man knew something was wrong with him. 'Does Elder Xu Zhen know he's been poisoned?' Ye Xuan wondered.
Xu Zhen shook his head. "Master Xuan Ye, not exactly. But for some time now, I've felt that my Profound Sea is unstable. It feels like it's on the verge of collapse. I've seen many Alchemists, and they all noticed something was wrong with my Profound Sea, but none could explain why. Yet you, Master Xuan Ye, identified it as poison in one go. I'm very curious—what kind of poison is it?"
Xu Zhen's eyes burned with intense concern.
"That explains it," Ye Xuan said, a look of sudden understanding on his face. "I was wondering. The thought that Elder Xu Zhen might have figured it out himself actually gave me a bit of a shock."
