The group of disciples exchanged glances, each and every one of them was shocked until they were staring dumbfounded with their mouths agape.
Nobody was a fool, Gu Mao's attitude already explained everything!
Could it be that this ascender saw through their master with one glance?
This … How was this possible?
This was to say that the current Gu Mao was already plagued with fire poison, with the ailment being deeply rooted in his vital organs?
Actually, fire poison was not sufficient to cause death.
The life of Heavenly Stratum powerhouses was not so easy to take.
But, when fire poison was accumulated to a certain degree, it would greatly diminish Gu Mao's control of fire.
A heavenly alchemist being unable to control fire, that would really be a joke!
He, Gu Mao's illustrious name, would be ruined overnight!
Who could care about a heavenly alchemist who could not refine pills?
