Su Su’s clear voice echoed around the bamboo building.
“When I was 16, I took my sister away from her father.”
“By then I had started taking on art commissions to make money. We lived together and dreamt of the future.”
Su Su looked at the white clouds in the sky, a smile appearing on her face as she fell into her memories.
“Later, I met a boyfriend.”
“To be precise, it wasn’t really a boyfriend, we had just held hands.”
“When I found out he was a drug addict, I broke up with him immediately.”
“But I didn’t expect that, after only a few weeks of dating, he took Zi Ying to try that stuff.”
“Later, I sent Zi Ying to a drug rehabilitation center, but she couldn’t stand the environment there.”
“I was young back then and thought I could make money to support her, so I brought her back.”
“We didn’t want acquaintances to see us, and because the rules are stricter in China, I brought Zi Ying here.”
“That was back in 2008. Unknowingly, it’s already been a year.”
Su Su looked at her sister beside her, her eyes filled with guilt. “Her drug addiction is getting worse. I don’t have enough money, I can only afford this kind of drug for her.”
“It’s my fault, but I’m powerless. I can only let her keep using this.”
Her voice was already choked with sobs.
But she raised her head, stubbornly refusing to let the tears in her eyes fall.
Suddenly, she heard Chen Tai say something.
“What if I could cure her drug addiction?”
What?
She abruptly looked at Chen Tai.
Her eyes were filled with suspicion.
“Don’t lie to me. I’ve researched. Drug addiction can’t be cured. Rehab can only eliminate withdrawal symptoms. If given the chance, they can relapse.”
But as she looked at Chen Tai, her heart wavered.
Even though doctors all said it was impossible, with the methods this man had just shown, what if?
A sliver of hope blossomed in her heart.
“Tch~” Chen Tai let out a dismissive laugh.
What is the meaning of worldly delights?
Addiction pales in comparison to cultivation.
That feeling of merging with Heaven and Earth, like water and milk mixing together, isn't that far superior to mere addiction?
Of course, it’s after a person has cultivated to the point of possessing a Yin Spirit and forming a Yang Spirit.
Even in the Xianmo world, cultivators who could achieve this realm were few and far between.
However, Chen Tai did have a few tricks up his sleeve when it came to helping people overcome their addictions.
After all, in his second life, he had once transformed into a righteous hero and specifically studied the topic of Bliss Grass.
He had also been the leader of the righteous path who spearheaded the destruction of the Bliss Sect.
Otherwise, how could he have had the opportunity to deceive so many righteous saintesses, and then refine them into furnaces?
Drug eradication, Chen, the Grand Master, was a professional!
“At this rate, she only has two or three years left.”
“And you’ve witnessed my abilities just now.”
“If she had encountered me when she first started using, I would have at least four or five methods to make her forget that stuff.”
“But now~”
Chen Tai made a troubled expression.
Su Su quickly hugged his leg.
“Master, how much will it cost, I’ll pay!”
But then she realized that, even if this could be solved with money, it would definitely be a figure she couldn’t afford.
A flicker of determination flashed in her eyes.
“Master, if you can truly help her get rid of her drug addiction, I’ll do anything you ask!”
Chen Tai smiled slightly.
Both of these girls were quite good quality.
To his surprise, even though Zhao Zi Ying was deeply addicted, her essence was still intact. (The TV drama didn't mention it, so it's just set up like this)
As for Su Su, she possessed a pure Yin energy.
As long as he used them properly, even in this world with waning spiritual energy, he could use them to step onto the path of immortality!
“I have a way, but it’ll take some time.”
“Her addiction is too deep. Those low-grade drugs have messed up her body, making some drastic measures unusable.”
“Let her recover for a bit. After I finish refining this batch of medicine, it shouldn’t take too long, at most a month.”
Chen Tai spoke with confidence.
He had that confidence.
“However, I’ll be upfront. Even if she’s cured, she’ll only be free from the powder. Her mental state will require a long time to recover.”
This was the truth.
Cultivation wasn’t magic.
Those damaged nerves, for a cultivator, were equivalent to their three souls and seven spirits being irrevocably damaged.
To replenish them.
The righteous path’s method was to cultivate the Divine Path, and become a City God or something, borrowing divine power to “open up” and replenish their missing spirits.
The demonic path’s method was similar, but they would borrow the power of celestial demons, using fragments of wandering souls and ghosts in the world to replenish them.
And the methods of the unorthodox and marginal sects were even more varied, whether it was cultivating the Ghost Path or directly committing suicide to become a vengeful spirit, but all of them had dire consequences.
As for someone like Zhao Zi Ying, a mortal.
The simplest way was for Chen Tai to directly cast a spell to sever her relevant nerves, that is, the damaged part of her soul.
That way, she would only become silly and foolish, but she would never touch that stuff again.
But how could that method showcase his old man’s abilities?
“I’ll first use my method to suppress her nerves. During this period, she will be like a plant person and you’ll need to stay by her side to take care of her.”
“Then, I will collect venomous creatures and refine them into pills, using poison to fight poison to help her eliminate the residual poisons in her body one by one.”
“Finally, I will nourish her internal vitality and help her body recover.”
Chen Tai’s words were confusing, making it difficult for Su Su to understand.
But she understood two things.
One, she had to stay here to take care of her sister.
Two, the detoxification would take a long time and consume a lot of resources. She needed to be prepared to pay the price.
She unconsciously looked at her sister.
At this moment, Zhao Zi Ying had regained her ability to move, but her mind was unclear.
“Su Su, numb Su~” Zhao Zi Ying stretched out her finger, drawing on Su Su’s arm, her saliva uncontrollably dripping from the corner of her mouth.
Su Su clenched her jaw.
“Master, I can do anything, just tell me what to do.”
Her attitude pleased Chen Tai.
Actually, there was an even simpler way that Chen Tai hadn’t mentioned.
It was to use the methods of the Harmony Sect, to turn Zhao Zi Ying into a meat puppet that only knew how to crave pleasure, then her mind wouldn’t be able to hold the powder.
But the other party was, after all, a fellow countryman from China.
Chen Tai was really a bit embarrassed to do that.
Besides, that was a technique he could only use when he reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
He was still far from that.
“Good!”
Chen Tai clapped his hands.
“Then, you can first carry her into the bamboo building. Wumeng will teach you what to do later.”
PS: This is a new book from a new author, so I’m begging for reads, data, flowers, comments, anything!
Although this book is about the demonic path, it’s a positive and uplifting theme, and won't involve any overly spicy plots. At most, it’s just about collecting women.
The demonic path isn’t the same as unorthodox and marginal paths. While some methods may be similar, the goals are different!
Absolutely positive energy!
