lanan also noticed that patch of Soul
nourishing grass appeared particularly
distressed unlike the others which still
bore some green at their bases this
particular section was not only entirely
yellow but had also begun to Blacken and
wither she and her teammates were
preoccupied with debating which of the
three girls was involved eager to
swiftly identify the true culprit and
had not considered investigating this
matter at all Aunt ran quickly
approached first closing her eyes to
sniff the air then crouching down to
exam in the withered blacken leaves of
the Soul nourishing herb subsequently
she produced a small shovel from her
spatial tool and dug up the entire plant
which had already decayed and turned
black it was only then that everyone
noticed the roots had completely rotted
unbothered by the dirt Aunt Ruan brought
the plant closer and scrutinized it
finally pinching the soil between her
fingers and gently sifting it apart
alongside the dark Earth she uncovered a
striking hint of green the middle-aged
elfelf beside aunt ruan's expression
changed dramatically and he exclaimed
it's Green Bamboo poison this potion is
unique to the southern Creek realm and
specifically targets spiritual herbs and
plants once the poison seeps into the
soil the nearby vegetation will rapidly
wither and Decay tainted by the green
residue what is even more alarming is
that when the next rain falls the
remaining toxins will spread with the
rainwater propagating exponentially the
forest Wonderland is a paradise for
plants and this poison is a greatest
taboo if anyone is found to have used
such a toxin it would be far more severe
than merely being sent to the thorny
forest for reflection how audacious to
employ such a potion Aunt ran smirked
her gaze sharp as a blade fixing it upon
the three girls trailing behind her she
turned to the middle-aged elf who had
been following her and commanded go send
someone to the dormatory head for a
purification potion otherwise after the
next rainfall all nearby soul nourishing
herbs will suffer the middle-aged elf
promptly named two individuals producing
a token and Whispering a few
instructions and the two elves departed
swiftly the Elven Clan wey of this
poison had secretly sought ways to
combat it yet the potion was precious
and they would have to pay a hefty price
from their cultivation area Aunt ruan's
heart felt as if it were a blaze though
her demeanor remained aloof she stro
toward the three girls scrutinizing them
before her gaze settled on the
silver-haired girl Chingling you claim
to have seen Shia she administered the
potion do you recall what the potion
looked like Chingling fidgeted before
timidly responding I do I remember it
looked just like an ordinary potion vial
only the color was different she raised
her head her expression pleading I
thought it was a new type of nutrient
solution and didn't he think much of it
aun I didn't he mean to delay reporting
once a volatile Powder Keg Chingling now
resembled a docel lamb in ant Ran's
presence ant ran remained non-committal
shifting her gaze as she continued shiai
do you admit to having given the soul
nourishing herbs a toxic potion I did
not shiai immediately rejected her tone
firm and decisive I Haven he even
touched any potions today let alone
poison Chingling glared at shiai in
indignation but dared not speak up Aunt
ran pressed further Chingling are you
certain that you saw shiai herself
Chingling widened her eyes staring at
shiai and declared vehemently I'm
certain I saw her profile even though
she she rushed off right after
administering the potion her profile is
completely different from shiaw how
could I have mistaken them Chingling is
lying a girl suddenly interjected her
tone serious antan Shia is innocent I
have reason to suspect Chingling
