'The Secret Manual states that soaking in the medicinal juice inevitably leads to absorbing some of the Elixir Pill's toxicity. After the soak, the Major Tendons throughout the body are eroded by this poison, causing a continuous burning pain. Only when the detoxifying Herbal Decoction starts to work, gradually neutralizing the poison, does this burning sensation slowly disappear.
But I only felt pain as the medicinal power seeped into my Major Tendons. Afterward, I felt nothing at all. Clearly, I absorbed very little toxicity—next to none, in fact.
The reason must be my Profound Gold Hide, which I cultivated back in the Skin Grinding Realm. It must have blocked almost all of the Elixir Pill's toxicity from entering my body.'
