Liu Ye wants the system to quickly analyse his body so that it can deal with the death Qi spreading in his body. The death Qi from the death essence spirit root is still affecting his body, even after activating "Pure Jade body" and his breakthroughs. His health might return to the same state as before he advanced to the body tempering realm if he can't control it.

Liu Ye closed the herbal shop, after only opening it for half an hour. He went to the Old fisherman's home.
"How are you, Maoxian?" Liu Ye asked the young man, who was completely covered in bandages.
"I'm fine. But who are you? Liu Ye's twin?" Su Maoxian asked with a surprised expression as he looked at the young and healthy Liu Ye in front of him.
"It's me, Liu Ye. I was cured of my disease yesterday, and now I can also practise cultivation. So, I am a lot healthier than yesterday." Liu Ye answered. "What about you. How did this happened to you?"
"Good for you, man. I always felt you might die in the next moment." Su Maoxian said. "As for this, I was unlucky this morning. I helped the patrol guards when they were looking for a fugitive. But the fugitive attacked me. I think the fugitive was a major realm above me for me to get hurt this badly."
"Which idiot will go after a Qi refining fugitive when they are only at the Acquired Qi realm." Liu Ye scolded Su Maoxian.
"I am not an idiot to do that. I just pointed to the place where the fugitive was hiding. I didn't think this would happen." Liu Ye countered loudly.
"You should have stayed silent, man. Why do you need to interfere? The patrol guards would have searched for the fugitive." Liu Ye grumbled.
"You are not making any sense, Liu Ye. When you see a snake, you should warn others about it and point at it. It might bite us." Su Maoxian exclaimed. "You should warn others when you see a fugitive. They might hurt us. Look at me, that petty guy hit me just after I pointed at his location. If he were allowed to roam freely, he might commit more serious crimes and endanger peoples lives."
"You make a valid point, Su Maoxian, but look at your situation. You got injured when you tried to help the patrol guard. And what if that petty guy is a psycho and tries to kill you. The guards won't trouble you if you didn't help them, but if you did, you might have a killer looking for you. We shouldn't look for troubles." Liu Ye suggested.
"I don't think I have done anything bad."
"I am not saying you did something bad. You should have remained quiet in that situation."
"Ye, even my family says the same. You guys confuse me."
"There's nothing confusing about this, Maoxian. In situations like these, think before you speak, that's it, when you think of the negative consequences and can still do what you did today, I can commend you for your honesty."
"You guys are preaching wrong ideas to a good guy like me." Su Maoxian laughed.
"We are just telling you to be careful and not get hurt. Look at your situation and stop about these talks about good men." Liu Ye touched Su Maoxian's bandaged right wrist. "Is this not hurting you?"
"Ouch" Su Maoxian retrieved his hand. "Stop it."
He asked, "So, you can cultivate now?"
"Yes, and I have already reached the fourth layer of the body tempering realm." Liu Ye said with a smug look.
Su Maoxian said with a look of disbelief, "You can't reach the mid-tier so quickly."
"I am a talented man. I have always said this to you. My disease was gone, and now I can show my prodigious talent."
"How can you reach the mid-tier in one evening? I don't believe prodigious talent lets you reach mid-tier on the same day you start cultivating."
"I have tempered my body with qi. It is possible to improve faster with qi cleansing. I am the live example."
"Damn, I am innocent about this cultivation knowledge. Let's make the decision about your prodigious talent later."
"Ha ha, okay."
"Congratulations on your recovery. If it had been a few years ago, I think you could have been able to join a sect by now."
"I don't think I am too late. I can still cultivate and reach great heights. You should also try hard in cultivating, Maoxian."
"Well, I want to, but there's no one I can ask to teach me." Su Maoxian sighed.
"I can ask Brother Qin to give you a metal cultivation technique. Even I am starting to cultivate, so I think you should put more effort in cultivating." Liu Ye said.
"I am nineteen now and still stuck in Acquired Qi Realm. Will my efforts be wasted, Liu Ye?" Su Maoxian expressed his doubts.
"Don't worry about this. A thousand-year-old beast and a hundred-year-old human can have the same strength. Heaven is fair and gave humans the ability to cultivate faster. I might have missed the right time, You might have less talent, but our ability to cultivate wasn't taken away." Liu Ye encouraged Su Maoxian.
"I will discuss with my father, I wanted to focus on cultivation, but I have to support my family. But you can ask brother Qin about the cultivation technique."
"Well, I will ask. And you can make the same decision you did today with more confidence when you are stronger." Liu Ye grinned.
"I do want to become stronger." Su Maoxian said.
