"Brother Gu, you finally woke up--"
Three days later, in a remote forest in Purple Cloud Province, Xu Yuan saw Li An slowly come to consciousness and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Li An sat up; his aged eyes seemed a bit confused and hollow, his face showing a deep fatigue. He asked, "…Junior Brother Xu, have we left Purple Cloud Mountain yet?"
"Yes, we've left! This is a forest in Yuan City County of Purple Cloud Mountain, far from Purple Cloud Mountain, so you don't need to worry, Brother Gu!"
Xu Yuan asked with concern, "Brother Gu, do you feel any discomfort in your body?"
Li An replied, "Not really, just a pervasive weakness, truly aged, like a flickering candle in the wind."
At this moment, Li An indeed looked extremely old, his body hunched and frail, his vitality shriveled up to just skin and bones. His skin bore many age spots, and his hair was completely gray, not resembling someone who had just become a Profound Immortal recently.
