Chu Zheng's slightly furrowed brow slowly relaxed; he noticed that Fu Quanliang's breathing rhythm was off, with a muddled sound mixed in his heartbeat, clearly indicating a problem with his body.
Relying on elixirs for cultivation was indeed a shortcut, but taking shortcuts inevitably comes with a price.
Chu Zheng himself had also consumed numerous elixirs, but the panel had not provided any alerts.

Fu Quanliang's aptitude was indeed excessively poor; consuming so many elixirs, even Lower Quality Immortal Bone should have been enough to reach the Spirit Spring Realm.
