Worsening Condition

Lee Tao was exhausted from focusing too much as he leaned on Da Mung. 

"Sigh, if only I still had my original cultivation, then I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble." Lee Tao sighed aloud, feeling the burden of using such a mentally taxing technique. 

Meanwhile, Deng Lijuan hurriedly hopped down from Da Mung as she tended to Lee Tao.

"Are you alright, Master?" Deng Lijuan asked, retrieving a water bottle for Lee Tao. 

Lee Tao drank a mouthful of water to rehydrate himself. Normally, as cultivators, no one would be dehydrated or starving since they could cultivate the natural profound qi from the world to survive.

However, the environment of the Sierra Desert was complicated and seemed to deny most of the profound qi, especially in the Inner Zone. 

It was like they had reverted back to being a mortal without any power. 

Lee Tao realized his condition was worsening as time passed.
