“She’s going into qi deviation?”
The disciples who were practicing swordsmanship all noticed.
“What’s wrong?”
“Over there, is that a second-year senior sister?”
The commotion over there caused everyone to stop practicing their swordsmanship.
“Stay here and don’t move. I’ll go check.”
Beiming Shuang said, then leaped and flew directly to the second-year physical cultivation class.
The physical cultivation teacher originally in charge of the second-year class was already performing first aid. He directly placed his hand on the short-haired girl’s chest, emitting a green light that enveloped the girl, and soon she stopped convulsing in pain.
But the aura on her body was still extremely chaotic, especially the blood energy that kept churning, requiring the teacher to use a great deal of mana to forcibly suppress it.
And within this chaotic blood energy, there was even a violent demonic qi.
“What’s wrong? Her condition—is it due to overdose?”
Beiming Shuang landed beside her, waved her hand, and a stream of icy sword aura descended, completely freezing her boiling body.
“I only administered three doses to her. Logically, this shouldn’t happen, and the medicinal properties feel wrong too.”
“Three doses? Then theoretically it shouldn’t be a problem. First, go call those medicine path teachers over, especially Qiongdann Laoren. He is the experimental head of Yao Immortal Valley here.”
The physical cultivation teacher quickly called over a second-year disciple, presumably the class representative, to go to Danhua Palace and invite the other teachers.
This distance was too close—the first-year elite class disciples could all hear and see what was happening over there.
Cultivators were extremely fast, especially Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators like Qiongdann Laoren. Soon, several beams of Evasion Light landed on the platform, led by the immortal-looking Qiongdann Laoren.
As soon as he saw the girl’s condition, he lightly waved his hand, and all the clothes and frost on her body were swept away.
Then he flung out over a dozen golden needles, piercing various major acupoints on her body, forcibly sealing her meridians and suppressing the churning blood energy.
Only then could the second-year physical cultivation teacher stop using his own True Essence to suppress the blood energy and protect the girl’s Elixir Field.
“Elder Qiong, what exactly is going on? Could it be that the Yao Immortal Valley’s physical cultivation medicine has side effects?”
“Nonsense. Let this old man examine her.”
He crouched down, and from his fingertips, strands of cyan-green liquid flowed into the girl’s body, carrying surging vitality and rapidly circulating throughout the short-haired girl’s body.
“How amazing! What is that?” Lei Mulan asked curiously.
“That’s strange water. Although I can’t tell what kind, it should be correct.”
Mu Yanxi recognized it and replied.
Strange water is the same type of thing as Heavenly Fire and strange lightning.
They are either born from nature, cultivated through certain cultivation methods, produced by some fortuitous coincidence, or even innate to some racial talents, but all have various miraculous effects.
Qiongdann Laoren’s cyan-green strange water flowed through the short-haired girl’s limbs and bones, replenishing her depleted blood energy and atrophied muscles, then flowed out from below, containing some golden-yellow liquid inside.
“It is indeed our sect’s medicine, but it feels off. What medicine did you inject into her?” Qiongdann Laoren asked.
“Tiger Strength Divine Bone Agent. I only gave her three doses, absolutely not exceeding the limit. She also took three doses in the previous class.” The physical cultivation teacher said.
“There’s a problem with this medicine. The demonic qi hasn’t been completely removed, causing her bones to break and muscles to dissolve. You haven’t privately purchased any non-compliant medicine, have you?” Qiongdann Laoren asked.
“No, they are all medicines sent by Yangxin Hall. None of them are even over a month old.” The physical cultivation teacher quickly said.
“Then the medicine from Yangxin Hall is problematic. There must be some substandard ones among them.” Qiongdann Laoren stated bluntly.
“No! That’s not what I meant! There must be some misunderstanding. Maybe we didn’t store it properly!” The physical cultivation teacher hastily said, looking flustered as if afraid of offending Yangxin Hall.
“Don’t worry, I’m not blaming you. The medicines produced by our Yangxin Hall have always prioritized safety and reliability.”
“But experimental medicines inevitably have some errors. Would Yangxin Hall dare not admit it?” Qiongdann Laoren said, seemingly amiable.
“I wouldn’t dare.” The physical cultivation teacher quickly bowed.
But the several medicine path teachers behind Qiongdann Laoren all had indignant expressions on their faces, yet none dared to contradict Qiongdann Laoren’s judgment.
It was obvious that Qiongdann Laoren held the highest status among these teachers. After all, he was a Grandmaster of Alchemy at the Magnificent Truth Stage, and the physical cultivation teacher even performed the junior’s salute in front of him.
“Elder Qiong, since that’s the case, should we report this matter to Yangxin Hall and have them send someone to investigate this batch of injections?” Beiming Shuang interjected.
“There’s no need for that. I and a few medicine path advisors can investigate the injections thoroughly. If there really is a problem, we’ll find it, right?” Qiongdann Laoren asked the medicine path teachers behind him.
“Yes, yes, yes. If there really is a problem, we will definitely investigate thoroughly. There’s no rush to report to Yangxin Hall.” The several medicine path teachers nodded in agreement repeatedly.
“Then let’s prioritize ensuring the disciple’s safety for now.”
Beiming Shuang picked up the short-haired girl, flew back to the first-year elite class side, and said,
“You can practice freely. Class ends on time.”
With that, she flew away.
The disciples exchanged bewildered glances. It sounded like she didn’t plan to come back, or maybe class time was almost over anyway. When she said “practice freely,” it seemed like free time—they could all leave?
At this point, Shangguan Yun used telepathy to ask Mu Yanxi:
“Was that injection found near the girl who fainted?”
“Yes, that girl with the dark blue short hair is quite distinctive.” Mu Yanxi also replied via telepathy.
Then she asked again:
“Is this kind of fainting from injections common?”
“It’s not common. The waters here are deep. Don’t get involved. Best find a chance to dispose of that injection bottle. Whatever you do, don’t wade into this murky water.” Shangguan Yun warned.
“Okay.”
Mu Yanxi nodded in agreement, but she was full of doubt inside.
This matter seemed to have many doubts.
‘She couldn’t understand. As a Grandmaster of Alchemy at the Magnificent Truth Stage, couldn’t Qiongdann Laoren tell that the girl had actually been injected with more than four doses, not three?’
‘Or had she already digested the medicine, and the strange water only extracted the residue of three injections?’
‘Also, are Tiger Strength Divine Bone Agent and Tiger Bone Enhancing Potion the same medicine? Or are they medicines with similar ingredients and effects?’
‘Hadn’t Qiongdann Laoren even noticed that she had been injected with two different medicines?’
Mu Yanxi didn’t understand any of this.
But she was neither a Grandmaster of Alchemy nor had she examined the girl up close, so she dared not jump to conclusions.
