Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: You Are Indeed Poisoned

"Li Xun, huh?"

As she watched Li Xun's receding figure, the white-clad girl's eyes flickered. She looked at the Expelling Evil Pill in her hand and chuckled.

In her mind, memories of Li Xun's serious demeanor from earlier replayed.

Could it be that she was truly poisoned?

She shook her head slightly, deciding that she would ask her master later. With her master's strength, he should be able to determine if she was indeed poisoned.

Without much further contemplation, the white-clad girl stored the Expelling Evil Pill in her storage ring. Worst case scenario, she could turn to her master for answers. This matter had been lingering in her mind, as if it possessed some sort of magic ever since Li Xun mentioned it.

Even during her lecture, she was almost distracted.

"Should I disturb my master or not?"

Shen Yuluan pondered this question.

Just as she hesitated, a soft voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

"Yuluan, is that you?"

"Disciple Shen Yuluan pays respects to master."

On the mountain path, Shen Yuluan immediately halted her steps and bowed respectfully.

"No need for formalities."

A gentle breeze brushed by, lifting Shen Yuluan up. The soft voice from earlier resounded again, saying, "Today, you were supposed to give a lecture in the Transmission Hall. Did you finish?"

"Informing master, your disciple has finished the lecture."

Shen Yuluan respectfully replied.

"Since you've finished, why have you come to Qixia Peak instead of returning to Zhenyu Peak?"

Zhenyu Peak was the stronghold of the Disciplinary Hall.

As a member of the Disciplinary Hall, Shen Yuluan resided in Zhenyu Peak.

"Not hiding anything from master, today, on my way to Zicheng Peak, I encountered an inner disciple."

"Oh?"

The gentle voice echoed, devoid of any emotional fluctuations.

After all...

Xuanyang Sect was vast, and there were numerous inner disciples. It was not unusual to encounter one on Zicheng Peak.

"That inner disciple told me something. He said... I have been poisoned."

Shen Yuluan spoke in one breath, feeling a sense of relief.

On the mountain path, there was a moment of silence.

Then the gentle voice resounded.

"Are you saying that the inner disciple recognized that you were poisoned, but you yourself remained unaware?"

"That's correct."

Shen Yuluan nodded, her face showing a hint of embarrassment.

If this matter were to be known, it would be incredibly awkward.

As a prominent core disciple, she relied on an inner disciple's reminder to realize she had been poisoned. It made her feel somewhat ashamed.

"So, you want me to investigate this matter for you?"

"Yes."

Shen Yuluan nodded again.

"Very well."

The gentle voice sounded.

Before the voice faded, a strand of divine consciousness descended from the sky, enveloping Shen Yuluan. Soon, the divine consciousness receded, and the gentle voice resounded once more.

"You are indeed poisoned!"

"What?!"

Shen Yuluan's face turned pale, an incredulous expression on her pretty face.

What Li Xun's junior brother said was actually true?

Was she truly poisoned?

"It's a chronic poison with weak toxicity. It won't endanger your life, but it will affect your cultivation. Whenever you engage in combat over the next six months, you will be restricted."

"Six months?"

Shen Yuluan bit her lip and asked, "May I ask, master, do you know the method of detoxification?"

After a moment of silence on the mountain, the gentle voice softly responded.

"The Expelling Evil Pill!"
