"Cough, cough, cough..."
A stifled wheezing sound emanated from the Bai Chao Daoist Temple, accompanied by a strong stench of decaying corpses. The cultivators entering and exiting bore expressions of fear.
Even though the temple tried to suppress news about the Daoist, rumors still spread like wildfire.
Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that Bai Chao Daozi's condition was unstable—most likely a side effect of the outbreak of the Death Disease.
Every few days, piles of flesh and blood were carried into the temple.
Although most cultivators hoped for Bai Chao Daozi to withdraw from the struggle for the Medicine Field, they knew the field's limited nutrients would eventually dry up—signifying the conclusion of the Induction Fate affair.
The temples of Mountain and Sea, Qingming, and Zhu Xi had their windows tightly shut, the Medicine Fields gradually abandoned, and their respective Daozi were all preparing for their Foundation Establishment.
