The spread of the Spirit Root disease began to accelerate, and the proportion of affected Ninth-Grade Mages also started to grow.
Naturally, this drew the attention of various factions.
It wasn't just Jianghu Mages who contracted this disease; even the new generation of Ninth-Grade Mages from the Mage Families began to show signs of the affliction.
Otherwise, no one would have cared if a few Jianghu Mages died.
Only when the disciples of the Mage Families were also affected did any follow-up action occur.
However, no one could treat this affliction, and for a time, they were at a complete loss.
Fortunately, the number of infected individuals was not significant compared to the total population of Ninth-Grade Mages, so while it was noticed, it wasn't taken very seriously.
The solution was also quite simple: just cut it off and then use a healing-type spell from a Lower-Grade Spiritual Root to recover.
