Chapter 788 - Mental Demon Possession (2/2)

Mo Awu’s expression changed and he asked with some anticipation, “How do you get those mysterious artifacts, Boss? Are you able to manufacture them?”

“I can refine them, naturally,” answered Tang Xiu. “But the materials needed to refine them are very precious. Even those cultivators who have been cultivating for thousands of years may not necessarily be able to obtain these materials.”

A disappointed look flashed in Mo Awu’s eyes. Even though he had become a cultivator himself, he was still in awe toward those who had cultivated for thousands of years. An adage said that if someone gets old and yet death can’t overcome him then there’s something weird with him. For ordinary people who could live past 100 years old, they were called to have a long life. Yet those who could live past 200 years were called old freaks, monsters. Those who could live millennia and yet still lived to see the day, wasn’t it much more proper to call them ghosts or spirits?

“Then, what exactly is this state of mind?”

“Mood or state of the mind is an issue that can be understood but not described, for it is subtle and mysterious,” explained Tang Xiu. “If we have to explain in an easier way, though it is perhaps inaccurate, it can also be interpreted as the state of mental perseverance or toughness. The more experiences one obtains in life, the stronger their heart and mind get tempered, while the more perceptive they are, the higher their state of minds are. You should’ve heard about the term ‘epiphany or sudden enlightenment’, yes? Cultivators need perception and comprehension to come to some realizations, and thus, the more insights they have, the higher their state of minds and mental state are.”

Mo Awu nodded, though he only had a hazy notion about it. This issue was something that could be felt and understood, but couldn’t be described in words for he had yet to encounter such a state as of now. Only after he reached a much higher realm in cultivation would he be able to comprehend what a mental state and state of mind were.

The airliner landed at Shanghai Airport at 12:30. Tang Xiu, Mo Awu, and the rest just went out the exit of the airport when they saw Ouyang Lulu anxiously waiting for them outside.

“You’re back, Tang Xiu. Let’s rush to the Paradise Manor!” immediately said Ouyang Lulu after approaching them.

Tang Xiu nodded while walking and then asked, “How is Han Qingwu’s situation now?”

“She has gone crazy.” Ouyang Lulu forced a smile and said, “She’s been staying in the Paradise Manor for a few days, and I’ve arranged her to stay in the multiple-storied western-style building where Han Jintong has been staying. She suddenly went crazy in the middle of the night yesterday and even collapsed the whole building. Fortunately, only Han Jintong lived inside, else ordinary people staying inside would’ve been crushed to death.”

Ouyang Lulu suddenly realized that she went off topic and quickly changed the subject. “Han Qingwu’s present condition is very bad. She looks like she has gone insane. Had it been not for Han Jintong and Shanjenna working together to chain and lock her up to put her under control, I’m afraid she would have made a big mess already.”

Tang Xiu nodded after hearing it. Going crazy was indeed a type of insanity. Even if she got injured, there was still a way to deal with her injuries as long as he could arrive there in time.

Only, such a mental disorder or insanity was very troublesome to deal with. If he were still the Supremacy back like in the Immortal World, it would only need a flick of a finger to solve this issue. His present strength now, however, was very weak and he was probably not a match for a Golden Core cultivator if he encountered one, let alone powerful enough to solve a mental disorder, the most mysterious of the brain’s problems.

At 2 PM.

Tang Xiu appeared in the room where Han Qingwu was locked inside. He watched her desperately struggling crazy-like appearance along with her disheveled hair. He could only sigh inside and faintly guessed that it should be related to the memories of her previous life, though he was still not sure about it.

“Lulu, wait outside. No one can enter this room without my permission,” Tang Xiu ordered and then closed the room from the inside.

Shortly afterward, Tang Xiu came to the table in the corner, taking out cinnabar ink, yellow paper, and a weasel-hair writing brush from his interspatial ring, and then began to draw magical charms.

Soul Tranquilizer Charm, and Heart-fire Purifying Charm.

Both charms had a wonderful magical effect to alleviate such mental disorder. If Han Qingwu’s situation was not too bad, she should be calming down in a short time.

However, when Tang Xiu finishing drawing the two charms and used them on Han Qingwu, not only did they have an effect on her, Han Qingwu even went crazier and treated him as an attack target. Although she was quite strong, her strength broke out to a level higher from her insanity.

“It seems like I can only use that particular art.”

Tang Xiu sighed inside. The art was very powerful and at least would be able to solve Han Qingwu’s insanity problem right now, yet casting that art would bring about some effects on his body.

He bit his finger, forcing several drops of his blood out and he began to inscribe ancient runes full of vicissitudes in the air. The golden runes seemed to contain an infinite profoundness as it gradually merged into the blood. The red blood immediately turned gold-colored, covered by a sphere of light around it.

“Bloodsoul Hex, Demon Suppression.”

Tang Xiu’s body quaked and he slapped the golden blood into Han Qingwu’s glabella. Suddenly, Han Qingwu’s body was as though being struck by lightning as she twitched a few times and slowly fell onto the floor.

Tang Xiu pinched the steel chain, breaking the shackles on her, and he picked up her delicate body and placed her on the bed. He then stretched the blanket over her body and stood quietly at the bedside for a long time without a word. He could clearly see the painful expression on Han Qingwu’s eyebrows, indicating the volatility and violent fluctuations in her consciousness.

“Was is the memory of her past life that affected her? Would she remember the days when she was in the Immortal World?”

After a long time, Tang Xiu took a deep sigh and turned around to the door, opened it and went out.

“How is my granddaughter, Tang Xiu?”

Restlessness completely covered his face. Han Jintong, who waited outside, sprinted to the front of Tang Xiu and asked.
