Chapter 720: Chapter 720: Fortune Exhausted, Life Concluded_1

Gui Nongsang, Tang Guowei, Wen Tianning, and Zhou Zhishan were tacitly in synchrony, not mentioning anything about the Qiankun Elixir.

The effects of the Qiankun Elixir were miraculous: just half of it could rejuvenate one to youth, and if an entire piece were consumed, even someone on the brink of death could be saved.

They had all personally experienced its potency.

However, the Qiankun Elixir was exceedingly difficult to refine, and Mister Mo seemed to have no inventory of it on hand.

Moreover, they had all once promised Mo Han that they would absolutely not leak any information regarding the Qiankun Elixir.

Without Mo Han’s permission, they naturally did not dare to bring up the Qiankun Elixir.

In response to these people’s praises, Mo Han neither denied nor acknowledged them but said, "Let’s take a look at the elderly lady first."

"Alright!"

Qin Mei’er saw Mo Han’s unassuming but confident manner and felt slightly more at ease.

As she spoke, she led Mo Han, along with Gui Lao and Xue Lao, into the inner hall.

As for Tang Guowei, Wen Tianning, and Zhou Zhishan, they respectfully stood outside.

"Second brother, it’s your fault too. When Old Madam Chen visited Jiangling City to stay at your house, you didn’t notify us earlier!"

Tang Guowei said rather displeased.

Zhou Zhishan snorted lightly and spoke in an equally uncomfortable tone, "Second brother, I just don’t understand, we’re both part of the Four Great Families, why would Miss Qin and Xue Lao choose to stay temporarily with your Wen Family?"

Early in the morning, upon receiving a call from Wen Tianning speaking of an urgent matter for discussion, Tang Guowei and Zhou Zhishan were asked to hurry over.

Upon their arrival, they then discovered that it was the third young lady from the Qin Family of Dragon City, questioning them about the treatments Mo Han had provided for them and other details.

"Hehe, third brother, I think you’re just envious and jealous."

Wen Tianning, covering his beard and lightly laughing, said, "If you’re to blame, blame the fact that my girl and Little Brother Mo have the best relationship. If it weren’t for Biyu inviting Little Brother Mo to treat Shan Shan, we wouldn’t have connected with Little Brother Mo."

"Miss Qin also investigated this point, which is why she chose to stay temporarily with our Wen Family."

"As for why I didn’t inform you earlier, Old Tang, they didn’t arrive until nearly midnight last night, and Miss Qin even instructed me not to leak their whereabouts, how could I dare to speak then?"

While the three were chatting, Mo Han had already entered the inner hall.

This was a very spacious room, at least a hundred square meters, with a large sickbed placed by the window.

An elderly woman in her seventies or eighties lay on the sickbed, her eyes closed, her face peaceful.

There were some wrinkles on the old lady’s cheeks, and her hands were covered with calluses, evidently having withstood the test of time.

Looking at her hands again, they were covered with layers of re-emerging calluses, especially around the base of the thumb.

"This elderly lady, she knows martial arts?"

Mo Han asked in surprise.

"Yes."

Qin Mei’er nodded and said, "Indeed, Chen Auntie was a martial arts expert in her youth, and it is said at her peak she was of the Innate Realm, Superior Grade of the Profound Rank, and there were very few in Dragon City who could beat her."

"Bingbing was also taught by her. However, Bingbing has an extremely high talent: she entered the Houtian Realm at twelve, ascended to the Innate Realm at nineteen, and by twenty-three she had already defeated an Earth Rank, Medium Grade expert of the Innate Realm. At thirty, she single-handedly killed four attackers of the Outer Mystic Rank, Medium Grade..."

Qin Mei’er did not reveal the specifics of Chen Bingbing’s cultivation level, but combining her statement with the fact that her bodyguard, Lin Changsheng from the Martial Alliance, had a cultivation level, Mo Han estimated that this Grandmaster Chen should be at least above the middle of the Earth Rank in the Innate Realm.

As for his own cultivation level, Mo Han did not yet have a precise understanding: it could be middle Earth Rank, perhaps higher Earth Rank, or even that Peak Rank which martial artists dream of attaining.

Looking at the elderly lady on the sickbed, who had fallen into a coma with a pale face, Mo Han placed his right hand on her wrist.

The pulse was erratic, the breath almost threadlike, the situation indeed looked grim!

He glanced at the old lady’s clothes and saw that the originally pristine white fabric had begun to grow dim.

On the forehead of the old lady, there was also a faint trace of black qi, which, like a wisp of smoke, could not be perceived by ordinary people. Only a divine person like Mo Han, who possessed Purple Cloud True Qi, could see it clearly.

Looking further at the old lady’s neck and underarms, sweat had begun to seep out unknowingly.

Mo Han sniffed and there was a faint stench that seemed to be emanating from the old lady’s body.

"Damn it! This is the ’five declines of heaven and man’ involving ’soiled clothing,’ ’wilted hair on the head,’ ’sweat under the arms,’ and ’foul odor of the body!’"

Mo Han inwardly cursed, his eyebrows furrowing into a ’川’ shape.

According to the Zixiao Medical Tome, various signs would appear when a person was near death, which the medical tome referred to as the ’five major declines’ and ’five minor declines.’

The ’five major declines’ are listed as ’soiled clothing,’ ’wilted hair on the head,’ ’sweat under the arms,’ ’foul odor of the body,’ and ’discomfort in one’s seat.’

Apart from the last decline, ’discomfort in one’s seat,’ which indicates the soul is weary of the body, gradually detaching and roaming the earth, the old lady had fully manifested the other four!

"Mister Mo, what exactly is the matter with Auntie Chen? Are you confident in treating her?"

Seeing that Mo Han merely examined Auntie Chen and then furrowed his brows, Qin Mei’er asked anxiously.

"It’s the ’five declines of heaven and man’!"

Mo Han raised his head, his tone grave as he spoke, "The old lady’s condition is very dangerous, and at any moment she might..."

"The ’five declines of heaven and man’? What does that mean?"

Qin Mei’er, who was unfamiliar with medical terms, hastily inquired Xue Qingniu.

Xue Qingniu sighed and responded, "The ’five declines of heaven and man’ consist of the ’great five declines’ and the ’minor five declines’, either of which signals the imminence of one’s death."

"Once the symptoms of the ’five declines of heaven and man’ appear, it means the person’s lifespan has reached its end."

"The old lady is currently hanging on by a thread, but from the looks of it, she won’t last much longer, at most half a day."

"I truly have no solution, Mister Mo, do you have a way to reverse the inevitable and save the old lady from death’s doorstep?"
