Then Gu Chengyu slightly exerted his inner strength, and shortly after, black poison did indeed seep from the silver needle. The Empress Dowager, upon seeing it, beamed with joy.
However, this situation lasted only for a moment before Gu Chengyu withdrew his hand. Such precise application of inner strength, this was Gu Chengyu's first attempt.
"How is it?" the Empress Dowager asked joyfully.
Even Director Zhang looked at Gu Chengyu with anticipation, just that he clearly saw it being effective, but why did Gu Chengyu suddenly stop?
"I only extracted a portion of the new poison from the body, there's still a part entwined with Rong Yin which I am powerless against!" Gu Chengyu shook his head, pulling out the silver needle.
"Since you have the means to extract a part, surely the rest won't trouble you!" The Empress Dowager looked at Gu Chengyu with a peculiar gaze, suspecting he wasn't being truthful.
