The ailment known as Fire Poison was actually the result of a flaw in Qin Zhantian's cultivation technique. This flaw prevented the energy he absorbed from entering the sea of qi within his dantian. Over the years, this unassimilated energy accumulated, rampaging through his body and causing widespread destruction. If Qin Zhantian stopped cultivating, the energy within him would be insufficient to suppress the Fire Poison. Yet, if he continued to cultivate, he would only feed the Fire Poison and make it stronger. It was this vicious cycle that had tormented him to the point of agony.
In Ye Qingchen's hands, however, this very Fire Poison was a potent supplement. Even a minuscule amount of energy leaked from someone of Qin Zhantian's realm was of immense benefit to him. Therefore, as soon as he entered his room, Ye Qingchen hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door and began to refine and purify the Fire Poison.
