After Fairy Qingshang spoke, everyone fell silent once more.
That was right! The Cultivation World had another method that could make a cultivator's strength plummet without anyone noticing: poisoning.
There were countless toxins in the Cultivation World. Some destroyed a cultivator's flesh and bones, some numbed their meridians and sea of consciousness, some corroded the magical power in their Pill Sea, and others consumed their vital essence and origin.
