This was bad enough, but in the process, he also injured his essence. Not to mention the impossibility of ever reaching Core Formation in the future, he greatly shortened his lifespan, turning his hair white overnight.
The young master himself was naturally in great pain, and his wife was also in tears, begging everywhere for someone to treat her husband. She even put aside her pride and brought her husband to the Sword Casting Manor.
However, the Manor Master refused to see them and didn't even allow them to enter, only sending a message saying, "You reap what you sow."
From then on, the young master gave up hope. He advised his wife not to grieve; at least he had ten good years left. After they spent this last stretch of time together, she should take the child and find a good man to remarry.
The wife, of course, was unwilling and didn't want her husband to feel guilty, so she forced a smile every day, secretly looking for ways to prolong his life.
