Hearing Yang Kai's question, a sliver of sadness flashed across Chai Hu's face, while Gui Zu and the others also had looks of shame on their faces.
"Eh …" Yang Kai suddenly exclaimed in surprise, as if he had discovered something. Extending his hand towards Chai Hu, he said, "Excuse me!"
As he said that, he placed his hand on Chai Hu's wrist and released his Source Qi to investigate.
After a while, he raised his head to look at Chai Hu, "Has Senior Chai's cultivation dropped?"
He could sense the existence of Source Qi within Chai Hu's body! That was simply impossible. After all, with Chai Hu's Third-Order Origin King cultivation, the energy within his body was still at the Saint Qi stage. Only after reaching the Dao Source Realm would it start to transform into Source Qi.
However, that wasn't the case. There were indeed traces of Source Qi within Chai Hu's body. There was only one explanation for this — Chai Hu was once at the Dao Source Realm, and the energy within his body had transformed into Source Qi. However, for some unknown reason, his cultivation had dropped.
Chai Hu gave a bitter laugh, "Little Brother's words are correct."
Gui Zu also gave a heavy sigh, "Half a year ago, when we went out to train, we encountered a group of Eleventh-Order Monster Beast. We were outnumbered and had to flee. In order to stall for time, Fourth Brother stayed behind. In a moment of carelessness, he was seriously injured. Dantian was also injured, and after returning to recuperate for a period of time, he ended up like this. One of Fourth Brother's eyes was also destroyed in that battle."
Chi Yue said with a look of self-blame, "If we had stayed behind, this might not have happened."
Although Gu Cang Yun and Ai Ou didn't say anything, their faces were filled with guilt. Clearly, they were unable to let go of this matter. They felt that they had a huge responsibility for Chai Hu's misfortune.
A drop in a cultivator's cultivation was definitely not a small matter, as once it fell, it was possible that one would never be able to raise it again. From then on, one's Martial Dao would be stagnant. For a cultivator who pursued a higher realm, this was tantamount to a death sentence. Furthermore, it was a punishment worse than death.
Seeing their desolate expressions, Chai Hu said, "Why are all of you showing such expressions? You're making it seem like I'm about to die. It's just a temporary drop in my cultivation, it's not like I won't be able to regain it."
Although he had an optimistic look on his face, who didn't know how slim the chances of him regaining his cultivation was?
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was extremely stifling.
Yang Kai suddenly asked, "Senior Yan, does the Dantian feel any pain when you use your power in the past six months?"
Chai Hu was stunned. He didn't know why Yang Kai asked this, but he still answered honestly, "Occasionally. After all, my Dantian was indeed injured in the battle half a year ago. There should be some sequelae."
Yang Kai nodded and said, "When you circulate your strength, do you feel any blockages?"
"Not bad. Sometimes, my meridians will swell and hurt, causing the circulation of my energy to become sluggish. "Chai Hu said with some admiration. Yang Kai was one level higher than him. However, the fact that he was able to grasp his situation with just a simple inspection showed how powerful his Divine Sense was.
Chi Yue's expression changed as she looked at Yang Kai expectantly, "Did you discover something?"
Yang Kai pondered for a moment and withdrew his hand, saying, "Senior Yan's condition may not be due to the Dantian's injury."
"Then what is it?" Chai Hu immediately opened his eyes wide. Everyone else also looked curiously at Yang Kai, wanting to know exactly what he meant.
"Senior Yan, can you lift up your clothes and let me see your lower abdomen?" Yang Kai didn't answer, but asked instead.
Chai Hu nodded and raised his hand to lift up his clothes. However, he quickly realized something and raised his head to look at Chi Yue, saying, "Fifth sister, turn around."
Chi Yue curled her lips in disdain, saying, "What's the big deal about taking a look? Don't be so hesitant!"
Chai Hu's face was covered in sweat as he said, "Men and women shouldn't touch each other."
Chi Yue's charming face turned stiff as she snorted, "Are you going to lift it up or not? If not, I'll take action."
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll do it myself!" Chai Hu was truly afraid of her fiery temper. He knew that if he continued to dilly-dally, she would really take action. Therefore, he no longer hesitated and lifted up his clothes.
In a split second, several pairs of eyes looked towards his abdomen.
"Eh? What's this?" Chi Yue suddenly cried out, her beautiful eyes staring straight at Chai Hu's Dantian.
"What?" Chai Hu gawked and lowered his head to take a look. In the next instant, his eyes widened as he said in astonishment, "What the hell is this?"
A few dark red stripes had appeared on his abdomen, crisscrossing with each other, seemingly concealing some profound mysteries. Clearly, these stripes weren't innate, but had appeared due to some unknown reason.
"You don't know about this, Old Five?" Gui Zu looked at Chai Hu in astonishment.
Chai Hu shook his head, a blank look appearing on his face.
Chi Yue immediately looked at him in disdain and said, "How long has it been since you bathed? You don't even know what's on your body. No wonder your body smells so bad. "
Chai Hu gave an embarrassed smile and said, "I'll take a shower in a while, in a while!"
Yang Kai said thoughtfully from the side, "Sure enough."
Hearing his words, Ai Ou immediately looked towards him and said excitedly, "Yang Boy, do you know something? Hurry up and tell us. "
Everyone else also looked towards Yang Kai with eager looks on their faces.
Yang Kai said, "Senior Chai's fall in cultivation shouldn't be caused by the Dantian's injuries."
"Then what's the cause?" Everyone asked in unison.
"He's poisoned!" Yang Kai replied.
Chai Hu was stunned and said in astonishment, "Poisoned? How did I get poisoned? "
He had an ignorant look on his face. Clearly, he didn't dare to believe Yang Kai's words. Thinking about it carefully, he didn't come into contact with any poisonous creatures during this period of time, nor did he feel poisoned.
Yang Kai said, "Was the Monster Beast you guys encountered a Profound Heavenly Wolf Spider?"
Everyone opened their eyes wide and cried out in surprise, "How did you know?"
Yang Kai looked towards Chai Hu and said, "Senior Chai, did you drink the Profound Heavenly Wolf Spider's blood?"
Chai Hu said, "I bit one to death."
Hearing his words, the corners of everyone's mouths twitched as they looked at Chai Hu in disbelief.
Chai Hu said, "There were quite a few of those damned creatures. I had no choice but to bite one to death."
"That's right. The Profound Heavenly Wolf Spider's blood is poisonous. You can't ingest it!"
Shock appeared on Gu Cang Yun's face as he said, "Sect Master Yang, are you saying that the reason why Fourth Brother's cultivation fell was because he drank the Profound Heavenly Wolf Spider's blood?"
"Yes. The Profound Heavenly Wolf Spider's blood has the effect of suppressing one's cultivation. It can be used to refine pills. If it's combined with some herbs, it can be used to refine Profound Wolf Pills. A single Spirit Pill is enough to cripple a Dao Source Realm cultivator's cultivation and destroy their foundation, making it impossible for them to cultivate ever again."
As his words rang out, everyone's faces changed drastically as their faces turned pale.
If what Yang Kai said was true, then Chai Hu's fate in the future would be …
They didn't dare to continue thinking about it. Originally, they had assumed that Chai Hu had only fallen to the Third-Order Origin King Realm, and that he might be able to find a way to regain his cultivation. However, they never imagined that it would be so serious. If that was really the case, not only would it be impossible for Chai Hu to regain his cultivation, as time passed, his cultivation would continue to fall until it was completely destroyed, turning him into a cripple.
Seeing their ugly expressions, Yang Kai said with a smile, "That's just the effect of the Profound Wolf Pill. The Profound Heavenly Wolf Spider's blood alone isn't that powerful."
Ai Ou asked anxiously, "Is there a way to save him?"
Yang Kai turned his head and shot a look at Chi Yue.
"Why are you looking at me?" Chi Yue asked with a confused look on her face.
Yang Kai said, "Senior Chi Yue's blood has a slight effect of suppressing the poison."
"Huh?" Everyone became even more confused, as they didn't know the reason for that.
On the other hand, Chi Yue's eyes lit up as she said, "I understand."
She was the Monster King of the Monster Star, and was a descendant of the Ancient Divine Spirit, Heavenly Moon Demon Spider, with the bloodline of the Heavenly Moon Demon Spider remaining in her body. The Profound Heavenly Wolf Spider and the Heavenly Moon Demon Spider were the same species, but their grades were far from equal.
The aura of the Heavenly Moon Demon Spider was enough to restrain the low-grade Profound Heavenly Wolf Spider.
Saying so, Chi Yue didn't show the slightest bit of hesitation. Using her finger as a sword, she made a vicious cut on her wrist. In an instant, dark red blood flowed out from her white wrist.
Handing her wrist over to Chai Hu, she said, "Fourth Brother, drink it."
Chai Hu was dumbfounded by her actions, his face turning red as he asked, "What are you doing?"
Chi Yue chuckled, "You're still shy? Don't be long-winded, hurry up and drink it!"
Saying so, she stuffed her wrist into Chai Hu's mouth without any explanation.
Yang Kai said, "Senior Chai, if you want to recover your cultivation, it's best that you don't refuse."
Hearing that, a conflicted expression appeared on Chai Hu's face. In the end, he clenched his teeth and took the initiative to suck on her wrist.
Yang Kai said, "Although Senior Chi Yue's blood has some suppressive properties, you'll still need a Condensation Pill if you want to completely remove the poison. I'll refine the pill. Before the pill is successfully refined, Senior Chai shouldn't use any strength. Otherwise, it might become even more troublesome."
While Yang Kai was speaking, Chai Hu had already let go of Chi Yue's hand. Wiping away the blood at the corner of his mouth, he said, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, Little Brother."
Yang Kai grinned, "Senior is sworn brothers with my Sect's Elder, as well as my Master and Mother-in-law. That means that we're a family, so there's no need to be so polite."
"Mother-in-law and Mother-in-law?" A strange expression appeared on Chai Hu's face as he turned his head to look at Chi Yue, saying, "Fifth Sister, you're married?"
Chi Yue spat at him, saying, "Don't talk nonsense and ruin my reputation."
Ai Ou gave a cold snort, saying, "I'm the father-in-law of this little brat! This brat looks so repulsive. I don't know what kind of despicable methods he used to actually make so many girls fall for him! Even my precious daughter didn't manage to escape from his evil hands. This is really heartbreaking! "
Yang Kai flipped his hair, saying proudly, "Born beautiful!"
Chi Yue gave a cold snort, saying, "Now that you're in the Star Realm, the heavens are high and the Emperor is far away. You must have been quite the womanizer, right? Tell Mother-in-law and Master about how many innocent girls you've hooked up with in the past two years! "
Yang Kai had an embarrassed look on his face as he said, feeling wronged, "How is that possible? Ever since I came to the Star Realm, this brat has always kept himself clean and chaste."
Chi Yue gave him a sidelong glance, saying in a cold voice, "That better be the case. If I find out that you've been flirting with any girl, this Queen will first cut that girl into a thousand pieces before chopping you into minced meat."
Yang Kai wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, saying, "That definitely won't happen."
