Chapter 768 - Born Like This

“Chuxi, how is it?” Duan Qingchen asked urgently.

“Uncle Duan, you should also know a bit about Xiaomo’s sickness, right? His mind…” Ling Chuxi pointed at Xiaomo’s head and trailed off. She did not need to say it, since she was sure that Duan Qingchen already knew.

Duan Qingchen looked pleasantly surprised at her answer. Finding her had been the right thing to do! Those so-called famed physicians the Celestial Sect had invited over a couple of days back had demanded a lot of money, but they had shed no light on the situation whatsoever. In such a short time, Ling Chuxi had actually found the source of the sickness. There was hope for Xiaomo to recover!

“Feiyu, go out for a while,” Duan Qingchen suppressed the excitement in his heart and said to Duan Feiyu.

“Yes, Grandfather.” Duan Feiyu agreed and walked out. Noticing Duan Qingchen’s excited gaze, his heart felt even more doubtful. Could it be that Ling Chuxi had truly noticed something? Otherwise, why would Grandfather have such an expression?

“Chuxi, you also noticed the odd situation in Xiaomo’s mind,” Duan Qingchen spoke to Ling Chuxi after Duan Feiyu had left the courtyard.

“Yes, his mind ocean is cut into numerous pieces, causing his divine consciousness to be empty.” Ling Chuxi did not hide or sugarcoat anything as she nodded.

“That’s right. I invited quite a number of so-called famed physicians to check Xiaomo, but none of them had noticed the oddity in his mind. You are the first,” Duan Qingchen said emotionally.

“I am the first?” Ling Chuxi was surprised. Logically speaking, checking using a divine consciousness wasn’t too difficult and even if one did not know medical skills, as long as they knew methods like the Mind Training Chant, they should also be able to do it. For example, Mo Kongyuan was definitely capable of it. Duan Qingchen, as the sect master of the Celestial Sect, would definitely have invited famed doctors with impressive cultivation. How could they not have noticed?

“Don’t you feel there is something off about Xiaomo’s sickness?” Duan Qingchen could see the doubt on Ling Chuxi’s face and asked.

“It is a little weird. If it were anyone else, if their mind ocean was cut into pieces, they would have gone insane. However, although Xiaomo’s mind is empty, his mind isn’t chaotic at all,” Ling Chuxi said thoughtfully after Duan Qingchen spoke.

“Xiaomo is born with the Celestial Core,” Duan Qingchen said slowly.

“Celestial Core?” Ling Chuxi asked curiously.

“You know the Core of Martial Path, right?” Duan Qingchen asked.

Ling Chuxi nodded. She herself had the Core of Martial Path, so of course she knew about it.

“Celestial Core is actually a type of Core of Martial Path. My Celestial Sect established the sect with the Celestial Cultivation Method, but besides our ancestor who had founded the sect, no one had been able to use the Celestial Cultivation Method to its extreme. The reason for it is because none of the descendants had ever cultivated the Celestial Core. Even I am no exception. However, Xiaomo was born with the Celestial Core.”

“Because of his Celestial Core, it is very hard for ordinary people to use divine consciousness to probe his mind. It took all my energy for me to even get a hint of what was happening in his mind. This time, I sought you out because I could see that he got along with you, and you were coincidentally the successor of the Golden Pill Sect. I thought it would be worth a shot to come here and ask you to help him. The heavenly emperor indeed does not let down the sincere man. You have done it,” Duan Qingchen said gratefully.

Hearing Duan Qingchen’s explanation, Ling Chuxi finally understood why he was unwilling to let Su Yizhi and the rest join them. Even with Duan Qingchen’s cultivation, he could only forcefully enter Duan Xiaomo’s mind ocean, so Su Yizhi and the rest were definitely helpless in this situation. The reason he sought her out was because she and Duan Xiaomo got along well?
