The mage explains that he has been hit by a draconic flame, and that his wounds are too serious to heal. He should have prepared armors for his wounds, but he didn't, because his soul realm is still intact. He tells the mage that he still has a chance to save him, because he has something hidden up his sleeves that looks like it is connected to his bloodline. The ring is the only thing that proves his existence in the world, he says. Life is as empty-handed as a flower, he explains. He says he still wants to know his origins, and if he doesn't treat his wounds now, they'll affect his cultivation. He promises to treat the wounds in two hours, and says he can guarantee that he'll get him back to his "normal, handsome self" in that time. He asks if the brat has had his brain burnt by the flames, and he says he has, so he can't allow him to die again.
