Jiang Ying Yue struggled to control the massive amount of spiritual qi that she had somehow succeeded in absorbing from the surrounding area.
At first, it was merely a feeling of discomfort but then it quickly escalated into a more piercing pain as she failed to develop a qi gathering ocean inside her body as per Qing Shan's guidance.
Her mates also quickly realized that something was wrong because soon enough she found their presence surrounding her. Through the haze of the terrible pain that had taken over her body, she felt the warmth of their hands as they held her. Their touches brought comfort to her but it wasn't enough to pull her out of the discomfort that was threatening to burst her into tiny particles just like the blue sparkles that she had seen in Qing Shan's projection of spiritual essence.
