"Tai Sui, Black Tai Sui." Danyang Zi's cold voice echoed in the small room.

Li Huowang tilted his head slightly and took another look at the disgusting thing in Danyang Zi's hand.

After careful observation, he found that the thing seemed to be somewhat similar to the one in the black cauldron. No, the thing in Danyang Zi's hand was the one that ate people in the black cauldron.

"This thing is called Black Tai Sui? Is he planning to use it to refine elixirs? Such a strong taste..." Li Huowang thought to himself.

As Danyang Zi flicked his wrist, the wriggling Black Tai Sui flew in an arc in the air and smashed directly onto his face.

The sticky and soft touch made Li Huowang's scalp tingle, and he kept shaking and retreating.

Staring at the Black Tai Sui covered in dust on the ground, Li Huowang looked at Danyang Zi in disbelief, not understanding what he meant.

"I'm giving this to you. Pick it up and swallow it. Before, you were just a medicine tester, but now you're my disciple. You can't act so recklessly anymore. It can suppress your hysteria."

Li Huowang seemed to not understand what he was saying, and he didn't want to understand. The young man's face turned pale, and he kept retreating. "I won't eat it! I'm not sick!"

"Not going to eat it? Hmph, you don't have a choice. Changming, Changren."

Danyang Zi lifted his chin slightly, and the two Taoist priests carrying swords rushed to Li Huowang's side, each grabbing one of his arms.

Then, Danyang Zi made a move with his right hand, and the Black Tai Sui wriggling towards the wall corner on the ground flew directly into his hand.

As Li Huowang watched Danyang Zi walk towards him with the disgusting thing in his hand, his body began to tremble uncontrollably, feeling a bone-chilling cold from the inside out.

He instinctively wanted to struggle and escape, but the hands of the two senior brothers beside him were as firm as iron, firmly holding his shoulders.

Fortunately, he still had one last resort. With his rapid breathing, his chest heaved violently, and in fear, he clenched his teeth and closed his eyes, using all his strength to shrink his mind and body towards the center.

"Huowang? Huowang! What's wrong? Are you in pain?" Yang Na's gentle voice sounded like a heavenly melody to Li Huowang at this moment.

As he opened his eyes and saw the young girl in a high-necked white sweater in front of him, he became emotionally excited and rushed towards her, holding her tightly like a life-saving straw.

A blush appeared on the young girl's cheeks, and she struggled while persuading him in a mosquito-like voice, "Huowang, Huowang, please let me go. Auntie is watching us from behind."

Li Huowang looked up and saw his mother standing next to the attending physician, smiling at them. "Oh, my son is amazing."

Looking at the clean and tidy hospital room, the bright sun outside the window, and his beloved family, Li Huowang's fearful heart gradually calmed down.

The attending physician pushed his glasses and walked up with a slightly furrowed brow. "Xiao Li, what did you see in your hallucinations? Your emotions are a bit unstable. What's been going on recently? Have you been following my instructions?"

Thinking of everything he had just experienced, Li Huowang's heart suddenly shrank. He anxiously asked his attending physician, "Doctor, is there any medicine that can temporarily suppress those hallucinations? I really can't take it anymore. I want to rest for a while.""Alright, I'll give you some Flupentixol and Phenobarbital, but Li Huowang, medication can only assist you. To completely get rid of your hallucinations, you need to follow my method." The doctor finished speaking and used his tablet to prescribe the medication.

When Li Huowang saw the blue capsules brought over by the nurse, he rushed forward and swallowed them without even bothering to drink water.

He didn't want to think about his master or Dan medicine. He just wanted to stay quiet for a while. The previous scene had really scared him.

The capsules tasted sticky and sandy, making him feel nauseous, but he forced himself to swallow them.

"Li Huowang, tell me, what scared you in your hallucination just now?"

After taking the medication, Li Huowang felt much more relaxed and he smiled as he replied, "I didn't encounter anything, it's just that the guy over there had a strange tone. It sounded like he was saying that over there was reality and our side was the illusion. Hahaha."

As soon as he spoke, the air around them froze and the bright colors became dim. Even Yang Na, her mother, the doctor, and the nurse delivering the medicine were frozen in place.

The sudden change made Li Huowang's body tremble and his breathing became more and more rapid. He looked helplessly out the window. The sunny sky had turned pitch black and the safe and peaceful environment had disappeared.

A substantial fear enveloped him, overwhelming him with panic. Li Huowang instinctively pulled Yang Na into his mother's embrace.

But as soon as he touched his mother, her body exploded like a bubble. The mother who had always been able to protect him had disappeared.

"Huowang..." Li Huowang's body trembled violently. He turned around and watched as Yang Na's body completely dissipated before his eyes. His only love had disappeared.

At this moment, all the positive and beautiful things that Li Huowang cared about disappeared, leaving him with only despair, repression, and pain.

The white walls of the hospital quickly receded like the tide, and he found himself back in the dark cave among the mountains.

Li Huowang's eyes were bloodshot and the veins on his forehead were bulging. He wanted to scream, to pour out all the despair and suffering in his heart.

But he couldn't. The Black Tai Sui had blocked his throat, preventing him from making a sound. All the despair and pain bounced back, and he had to bear it all himself.

As he watched his disciple trembling and retching on the ground, Danyang Zi shook his head and walked towards the door of the ingredient room with his hands behind his back.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you say you don't have hysteria when you're like this? You're the one who's the sickest in the ingredient room. Do you think I just randomly chose a medicine guide before?"

"Alright, the hysteria is gone. Now you can work properly. Remember, no idlers are allowed in Qingfeng Hall. Come to me for medicine on the first day of every month."

After speaking, Danyang Zi's other disciples left with him, leaving only Li Huowang and the other medicine guides in the ingredient room.

The medicine guides, with their strange appearances and various congenital or acquired diseases, looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Half an incense stick later, the Black Tai Sui finally slid down Li Huowang's throat, and his heart-wrenching cries echoed in the cave."Why!! Why did I end up in this cursed place! This illness won't let me go!!"
