Chapter 113: Medicine Person Receives the Art

Fang Shu stared at Hall Master Du, his gaze blazing like torches.

Hall Master Du remained calm and composed, an unusual smile on her face. "Have you noticed that after you helped Xiao Lili extract and refine the medicine, her temperament changed somewhat—especially toward you?"

This question made Fang Shu's thoughts halt. He honestly nodded, then said in surprise, "Master truly has fiery eyes. You noticed it too."

Hall Master Du explained, "In her case, although the final result was the planting of a spirit root, in truth, she merely became a 'medicine person.'

"No matter who helped her extract the medicine, not even a Foundation Establishment Earth Immortal could completely remove the medicinal ginseng within her body—especially that in her brain.

"In the past, with Xiao Hu helping her suppress it, nothing showed. But now that she has fought the ginseng medicine for her life, it could not simply lie down and die. Thus, the aftereffects emerged."

The old woman said, "This is an external object entering the brain, much like having one's brain gnawed through by worms. One either becomes extreme in temperament or cold and indifferent to humanity. In short, she has been influenced by that medicinal ginseng and undergone demonization."

Fang Shu mulled over her words, understanding dawning on his face. So that was how it was.

There were actually quite a few such cases in Guling Town, as Hall Master Du described.

Many immortal cultivators who excessively consumed tiger-wolf medicines would meet such an end, especially those who consumed tiger-wolf medicines made from demonic beasts or metal and stone.

And it was not limited to immortal cultivators. Among mortals, there were plenty as well—for instance, those who drank themselves into dementia and muddled wits, becoming stubborn and extreme.
