"Scorching Soul Pill?!"
The expressions of the loose cultivators changed drastically.
They recognized this poison pill, it was notorious.
It was an extremely slow acting poison, requiring a year and a half of incubation within the body before it would take effect. Once the poison commenced, it would infiltrate the bones, making it impossible to ever clear from the body. Every winter, it would relapse, tormenting the individual until death.
If one were poisoned with this pill, unless the antidote was provided by the perpetrator, the victim would be controlled by them for life.
Clearly, these cultivators from the Lu family and Immortal Mist Sect essentially did not plan on leaving any chance of survival for the loose cultivators.
"What's wrong? You don't want to take the Scorching Soul Pill?!"
"Let's be honest, every cultivator joining the patrol army is required to take this pill."
"Otherwise, if the spies of the Ghost Demon Sect infiltrate, none of us will live."
