In the Little Forest, the disciples of the Saintess Sect had not yet seen the severely injured Elders, but they clearly felt changes in their bodies. Those among them who were skilled in using poison were the first to notice.
"Poisoned!"
Their bodies became heavy, and breathing was difficult—definite signs of poisoning.
A few female disciples formed a circle, took out a silver needle, and pricked it into one of their arms. When they pulled it out, however, the silver needle showed no change.
"How is this possible? Not poisoned?"
The female disciple holding the silver needle looked up at the others.
"How can the silver needle show no change? We are clearly poisoned, I can't even circulate the Original Soul energy within my body properly," another female disciple clearly doubted.
She had just tried and found resistance when circulating her Original Soul energy—what else could it be but poisoning?
