San San's expression changed.
The so-called Essence Dissipating Pill was an extremely poisonous pill. After taking this pill, it wouldn't hurt the person's life, but it would cause the cultivator to be unable to continue cultivating, and they could only be trapped at their current cultivation level.
For cultivators, this was even more painful than death.
Besides, this Essence Dissipating Pill would be activated once every month. When the poison spread, the person's entire body would be in immense pain, and they were better off dead.
Only by taking the antidote regularly would the person be relieved of the pain. However, this so-called antidote couldn't completely rid the poison. This also meant that once one took the Essence Dissipating Pill, their life was basically over.
Even though it didn't claim their lives, it used an even longer and more painful method to torture and threaten them.
