Chapter 594 473: Plague_3

This man doesn't have much time left to live.

"I have a remedy; try it on him and see if it can help him quit the Carefree Elixir!" Lin Miao pondered for a moment and then said.

"Do you really have such a remedy?" Dongguo Sun exclaimed in surprise, "I've tried several medicines on him, and none have been effective, not even the ones proven to work before. It seems the Carefree Hall has improved their technique in crafting Carefree Elixir."

"Can I go in?"

"Of course you can, but be careful if he goes mad," Dongguo Sun warned, although with Lin Miao's cultivation, he wouldn't be harmed easily. Still, it's better to be cautious, as the man is insane.

The behavior of a madman cannot be judged by common logic.

"I know you wish to kill me, but it's useless. In my hands, that's your fate. If you wish the rest of your days to be less miserable, don't resist too much; otherwise, suffer if you must!"

"Mmm mmm mmm..."

Lin Miao just realized Scorpio had something in his mouth, likely forced there to prevent him from biting his tongue to kill himself. No wonder when he saw Lin Miao, he made strange sounds without being able to speak.

Wanting to die is easy, but wanting to live is difficult.

This is Scorpio's current situation. Once a dominant figure in the martial world, now met with such a fate; it's retribution for his countless evil deeds over the years.

Lin Miao extended his hand, directly clamping Scorpio's wrist. Scorpio's eyes were full of ferocity, wanting to break free, but no matter how much strength he used, it was useless. Instead, he felt a numbness in his entire arm, causing both knees to naturally fall to the ground.

"Mmm mmm..." Scorpio glared angrily at Lin Miao, but he had no recourse. He was now like fish on a cutting board, utterly incapable of resistance.

The pulse was irregular, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, somewhat resembling a pecking pulse and a leaking roof pulse, both often indicating poisoning.

In truth, the addiction to Carefree Elixir can be seen as a form of poison, so showing symptoms of poisoning is entirely normal.

Carefree Elixir can stimulate human potential, generate hallucinations, and cause afterward severe damage to the body, particularly the heart, lungs, and nervous systems.

It can even lead to brain atrophy; the upper Dantian is located at the yintang on the governing meridian, so any cerebral lesions naturally affect the upper Dantian.

Those who consume Carefree Elixir, despite their short-term enhanced potential and power surge, experience degradation in cultivation over time.

Moreover, once damaged, it can't be repaired. Ultimately, after consuming one's potential, breaking through the Heaven and Earth Bridge to advance to Tianyuan is nearly impossible.

Even if Scorpio's martial arts cultivation isn't abolished, he won't have a chance to advance to Tianyuan; his potential has already been squandered due to the Carefree Elixir.

Surely, those who created Carefree Elixir wouldn't warn consumers about its significant harm.

No wonder the Carefree Palace (Hall) is classified as an evil sect force, shunned by all, even intolerable to the Moon Worship Sect, despite their nature.

"Dongguo, try this remedy and see if it works; if not, we'll think of something else." Lin Miao handed Dongguo Sun a prescription for Scorpio; however, one missing ingredient, unfamiliar to Lin Miao in this world, made the prescription's efficacy uncertain, and the substitute might not achieve the desired effect.

It's treating a dead horse as if it were alive.

Besides the remedy, the instructions were also written, specifying the timing and dosage; Dongguo Sun solemnly accepted them.

Although he couldn't understand immediately, it wouldn't stop him from studying it carefully later.
