The Sect Leader had never encountered a situation like this. While he'd had treatments fail before, this was the first time he couldn't even complete the first step—infusing his spiritual power into the patient's body.
"Sect Leader, am I cured?"

But if she tipped her hand and the entire Wuxi Village turned on her, things would get truly troublesome.
As for how to pry the secret from the Sect Leader, she would have to play the long game.
The Sect Leader's mind was still reeling from the backlash of his spiritual power, and a dull ache throbbed in his head.
