Once the downward spiral begins, it is extremely difficult to curb. If one consumes too much, the only end is the destruction of both soul and body. Because these two types of pills are remarkably similar, even sharing common ingredients, only a highly skilled alchemist can distinguish between them; an ordinary person would never be able to tell them apart.
Previously, when Huikong released Lin Chen halfway, Huang Qing had passed off the Soul-Shattering Pill as the Mysterious Jade Soul-Nurturing Pill for Lin Chen to take. It was a precaution. If Lin Chen had indeed betrayed Lingxian City, the Soul-Shattering Pill could be used to force his submission.
"That Old Ancestor Tiezhu is by no means an expert alchemist, and he has no one around him who is. He will absolutely never detect the danger in this pill," Huang Qing said with a sneer. "Furthermore, this bottle of Soul-Shattering Pills was personally refined by a successor of the peerless Alchemist Immortal Situ Yan. Mixing them among so many other rare treasures, they will never attract any attention. Once that Old Ancestor Tiezhu consumes this pill, no matter how extraordinary he may be, he will be completely neutralized."
