Hong Meng Fang Immortal's handbook had long mentioned that the interaction of the Five Elements could engender or counteract each other, and Alchemists also used this principle in treating illnesses.
If a person's body recklessly absorbed two incompatible forces, like water and fire, it would be extremely dangerous.

However, given time, these forces would inevitably throw Governor Lan's internal energy into complete disarray, and even if saved, he would be left incapacitated.
