"Li Xun?"
Watching Li Xun's figure as he walked away, the young woman in white had a flicker of thought in her eyes.
She looked at the Purging Evil Pill in her hand and chuckled softly.
In her mind, she couldn't help but recall how serious Li Xun had been earlier.
Could it be that she was really poisoned?
Shaking her head slightly, she put the Purging Evil Pill into her storage ring.
She thought that if she asked her master later, her master should be able to tell if she was truly poisoned.
Without thinking too much about it, after storing away the pill, the young woman in white turned and continued her ascent up Zichen Peak.
At the same time, halfway up Zichen Peak, in the Hall of Transmission, many outer disciples were eagerly waiting.
The Hall of Transmission was where disciples received their sect stipends and listened to lectures by elders.
Of course, it wasn't just elders who could lecture; some highly skilled core disciples or true disciples were also qualified to teach there.
After all, the audience was mainly outer disciples, so it didn't make much difference whether the lecturer was an elder or a core disciple.
"Wasn't it said that Senior Sister Shen Yuluan would be here at noon to give a lecture? Why hasn't she arrived yet?"
"Senior Sister Shen Yuluan is a core disciple, and an outstanding one at that. She holds an important position in the Law Enforcement Hall. We should be grateful that she's taken the time to come and lecture. We shouldn't expect too much."
"I've heard that Senior Sister Shen Yuluan is as beautiful as a fairy. I've only heard of her name before, and today, I finally get to see her in person."
"Don't get your hopes up. People like her are out of our reach. If we can grasp even a fraction of the 'Moon Grasping Hand' technique that Senior Sister Shen Yuluan is teaching today, it will benefit us for a lifetime."
Inside the Hall of Transmission, the outer disciples were talking among themselves when suddenly, someone shouted, "Senior Sister Shen is here!"
Immediately, the entire hall fell silent, and countless gazes turned toward the end of the hall.
There, a young woman in white, with a flowing long skirt and graceful curves, appeared.
She looked as though she had descended from the heavens, like an immortal who had stepped into the mortal world.
With every step she took, she covered a hundred meters, and after a few steps, she was already inside the hall.
With another step, Shen Yuluan appeared on a platform at the highest point of the Hall of Transmission.
Sitting down cross-legged, Shen Yuluan began to speak softly. "Fellow junior brothers and sisters, please be seated. Today, I will teach you the sect's lower-grade Huang martial art, the Moon Grasping Hand."
After an hour and a half, she had finished explaining all the key points of the Moon Grasping Hand.
The outer disciples below were still entranced by her words, with many of them having sudden realizations and beginning to practice on the spot.
Seeing this, Shen Yuluan did not disturb them.
She stood up, took a step, and disappeared from the Hall of Transmission.
Qixia Peak was where Shen Yuluan's master resided.
Her figure appeared at the base of the mountain.
As she climbed the stairs, her steps were filled with hesitation.
She knew that in a few days, her master would be entering seclusion to break through to the next level.
At such a time, she should not disturb her master.
However, the issue of poisoning, mentioned by that inner disciple named Li Xun earlier, had been lingering in her mind ever since.
She had almost lost her focus during the lecture because of it.
"Should I disturb my master?" Shen Yuluan pondered.
As she hesitated, a gentle voice suddenly sounded in her ear, "Yuluan, are you here?"
"Disciple Shen Yuluan greets Master."
On the mountain path, Shen Yuluan immediately stopped, bowed, and greeted respectfully.
"No need for formalities," a breeze blew by, lifting Shen Yuluan up.
The gentle voice continued, "Today, you were supposed to lecture in the Hall of Transmission. Have you finished?"
"Yes, Master. The lecture is finished," Shen Yuluan replied respectfully.
"If you've finished, why haven't you returned to Zhenyu Peak and instead come to Qixia Peak?"
Zhenyu Peak was the base of the Law Enforcement Hall.
As a member of the Law Enforcement Hall, Shen Yuluan also resided on Zhenyu Peak.
"To be honest, Master..." Shen Yuluan hesitated before speaking in a low voice, "Today, on my way to Zichen Peak, I encountered an inner disciple."
"Oh?" The gentle voice sounded, with no emotion in it.
After all, Profound Sun Sect was vast, with many inner disciples, so encountering one on Zichen Peak was not unusual.
"That inner disciple told me something. He said... I've been poisoned," Shen Yuluan said in one breath, feeling relieved afterward.
On the mountain path, there was a moment of silence before the gentle voice spoke again, "You mean to say that an inner disciple noticed you were poisoned, but you didn't realize it yourself?"
"That's correct," Shen Yuluan nodded, feeling a bit embarrassed.
It was quite humiliating for her, as a core disciple, to be unaware of her own poisoning and have to rely on an inner disciple to point it out.
"So, you want me to check it for you?" the gentle voice asked.
"Yes," Shen Yuluan nodded again.
"Very well," the gentle voice replied. Before the words had fully settled, a spiritual sense descended from the heavens, enveloping Shen Yuluan.
Soon, the spiritual sense retreated, and the gentle voice spoke again, "You are indeed poisoned!"
"What!" Shen Yuluan was shocked, her face filled with disbelief.
Could it be that Li Xun was right?
Was she really poisoned?
"This is a slow-acting poison. Its toxicity is not strong and won't endanger your life, but it will affect your strength. For the next six months, you will be limited if you engage in combat."
"Six months?" Shen Yuluan bit her lip and asked, "Master, do you know how to cure it?"
After a moment of silence, the gentle voice softly replied, "Yes, you can cure yourself by using the Purging Evil Pill."
