Mu Lingjiu turned his head to look at the disciple who was speaking.

"Can you take me to see the sick disciple?"

"Of course..." The disciple led them into a room.

Several disciples were lying on the mats in the house. There was a heater and fire talismans burning in the house, but they could not resist the cold at all. The house was freezing.

The disciples were pale and had a layer of ice on their faces.

Feng Yuexian immediately reached over to check, but Mu Lingjiu said coldly, "Fourth Senior Sister! Don't move!"

Feng Yuexian was startled and quickly retracted her hand, looking at Mu Lingjiu in confusion.

The disciple who led the way hurriedly asked, "Senior Sister Mu, what's going on?"

Mu Lingjiu walked up to several seriously ill disciples, squatted down, and extended his right middle finger.

When her fingers touched them, the cold poison quickly penetrated into Mu Lingjiu's body, and traces of freezing appeared on her fingertips.

The disciple who had just led the way showed joy on his face, took several steps back, and retreated to the door.

Feng Yuexian hurriedly said, "Junior Sister, please take your hand back quickly. This is not right."

Mu Lingjiu shook his head and continued to absorb the poison.

Soon the seriously ill disciple's complexion warmed up, the frozen feeling on his skin disappeared, and he looked like he was getting better.

Mu Lingjiu's hand was completely frozen. The poison was too powerful.

She turned her head, looked at the disciple who led the way with cold eyes, raised her hand and slapped him to the ground.

"Mu, Senior Sister Mu..." He looked at Mu Lingjiu in panic.

Mu Lingjiu walked up to him and said firmly, "Did you poison me?"

"I didn't do that! Senior Sister, I'm being wronged!" The disciple cried for mercy. "It's because the weather is too cold that they got sick. How can you blame me?"

"This is ice worm poison. You need to be in the presence of ice worms to be poisoned. And after being poisoned, anyone who comes into contact with them will also be infected."

Mu Lingjiu dared to touch those people because she had the ability to absorb toxins. If Feng Yuexian touched them, she would soon be infected with ice worms.

The disciple's eyes were dark. He didn't expect that Mu Lingjiu actually knew this thing.

He raised his head and stared at Mu Lingjiu. His eyes were no longer filled with fear, but instead he began to smile.

"Since you know that contact will cause poisoning, you should also understand that you are poisoned now. I am the only one who has the antidote. Without the antidote, you will die within three days."

"What did you say?" Feng Yuexian angrily grabbed her disciple, her rage rising. "How dare you poison your fellow senior sister? Who gave you the guts?"

The disciple had blood at the corner of his mouth, but he was smiling.

"If Senior Sister Feng beats me to death, there will be no antidote. If you treat me well, I might give you the antidote if I'm in a good mood."

This made Feng Yuexian even more furious, but she was helpless. She suppressed her anger and said in a gentle voice:

"You and I have no grudges against each other, why are you doing this?"

"Senior Sister Feng, I want a thousand spirit stones. Give them to me immediately, otherwise Senior Sister Mu will die." The disciple made a request.

Feng Yuexian exclaimed, "How much?"

She only earned twenty or thirty spirit stones a month, and with the money she earned from completing missions, she earned less than a hundred spirit stones a month. After spending money on her daily cultivation, she had very little left.

Not to mention a thousand, she didn't even have a hundred.

"One thousand spirit stones, you must give it to me no matter what method you use." The disciple threatened and was proud.

Feng Yuexian frowned, wondering what to do.

Mu Lingjiu kicked him to the ground with a cold look on his face.

"Tell me, who asked you to harm us?"

The disciple's eyes flashed with panic again, "You, what are you doing? Are you trying to kill yourself? I hold your life in my hands."

Mu Lingjiu responded to him with the murderous intent of a sword at his throat.

The outer disciple was terrified, "You, you..."

"Do you think I'm poisoned?" Mu Lingjiu asked.

The disciple then saw that Mu Lingjiu's frozen hand had recovered to its original state, with no signs of poisoning at all.

"How is that possible? The ice worm will..."

"Three, two..."

Mu Lingjiu was counting in his mouth, and the crisp sound lingered in his ears like a death warrant.

He immediately begged for mercy, "Senior Sister Mu, please spare me. I was forced to do this! How could we outer disciples have the intention to kill inner disciples? We were forced to do this!"

"Who forced you?" Mu Lingjiu asked slowly.

"Yes, it was an Inner Sect senior sister. She gave me the Iceworm Poison and told me to do it. After the task was completed, she gave me 500 Spiritual Stones and recommended me to the Inner Sect."

"Which senior sister?"

"I, I don't know her name. I haven't even seen her appearance. She was tall and thin, wearing a conical hat. She gave me ice worm poison and left..." The man said while observing Mu Lingjiu's expression.

Feng Yuexian sighed, "Strange, we don't have many enemies within the sect, right?"

"Zi Yu and several elders are all possibilities." Those were the only people who had conflicts with Mu Lingjiu.

Mu Lingjiu did not have deep contact with several elders, but they did not seem to be tolerant people, otherwise they would not have shouted at the disciples to kill because of a spirit beast.

Feng Yuexian blinked and nodded silently.

"Then, what should we do now?" Feng Yuexian glanced at the disciple.

Mu Lingjiu raised his hand and crippled him with a palm, then said, "Wait a moment."

Mu Lingjiu also treated several other disciples.

Soon the condition of these dying disciples improved and they gradually regained consciousness.

Feng Yuexian dragged the disabled disciple who had poisoned her in front of them.

"Whose disciple is this person? Do you remember that he poisoned you?"

Only then did they remember.
