Chapter 202. That Is Not Evil Qi, But Bad Karma

TN: Hello readers!!! I’ve taken another dropped novel with aim of bringing it to its end. I hope you will like it. It has total 294 chapters. I will be translating 93 chapters. Chapter 202- Chapter 294. You can read chapter 1-100 by clicking on Chrysanthemum Garden.

When Fan Jialuo called, Jian Ya and the others had already returned to Ni Xinhai’s secret residence, anxiously waiting for Taoist Lin’s senior sister. They had heard that this senior sister was a very trendy person who had gone abroad to study several years ago and had only recently returned.

Taoist Lin had left the mountain to pick her up, and coincidentally, he met Ni Xinhai, whose face was covered in dark aura, at the airport. He handed her a piece of paper with his phone number written on it. Because Taoist priest Lin was wearing a Taoist robe, was very handsome, and had a rather otherworldly air, Ni Xinhai impulsively kept his phone number and never expected it to actually come in handy.

This must be destiny. Which of those in millions who manage to make it as A-list or B-list stars isn’t a lucky soul?

To pass the time, Jian Ya took out a tablet and kept a close eye on the online trends. Seeing her fans eagerly jumping out to accuse Fan Jialuo of spreading rumors and slander, she finally smiled with satisfaction. During the interview, she had already instructed Ni Xinhai and others to steer the conversation towards Fan Jialuo, making their fans realize that Fan Jialuo’s prophecies were not only inaccurate but also defamatory. Then, they wouldn’t need to do anything, the fans would naturally berate Fan Jialuo until he questioned his very existence.

In fact, his prophecy was accurate, but so what? As long as they stubbornly refuse to admit it, Fan Jialuo will forever remain a fraud!

Jian Ya became increasingly smug, and couldn’t help but find the video of Park Liyu apologizing to watch again. She sneered, “How do you think she is now? Is her face better?”

“She’s definitely not better, otherwise why would she be hiding and not showing her face?” Ni Xinhai guessed with a grin.

Lin Nian’en shook his head and said, “It can’t be cured. Without the clearing talisman passed down from my sect and the profound spiritual power of my senior sister, ordinary people simply can’t do anything about this kind of evil qi. Speaking of which, I’m also very curious, what kind of ghost stuff is on your face? I’ve seen several ghost kings who have cultivated for a hundred years, but none of them have as much dark aura on their faces as you.”

“We’ve only used these skincare products, Taoist Lin, didn’t you already see that?” Ni Xinhai pointed to the bottles and jars that filled the table.

Lin Nian’en opened one of the bottles, poured some lotion into his palm, smelled it, and shook his head, saying, “It’s not because of these skincare products. I’m an expert in traditional Chinese medicine, and I can smell it. The ingredients here are all Chinese herbal medicines, some of which are very precious. They are good products.”

“But besides these skincare products, we didn’t do anything else.” Ni Xinhai pulled her thick coat tighter, feeling cold all over.

“A necklace! Besides these skincare products, Su Fengxi also gave each of us a necklace. After she had her accident, didn’t the Zhang family send people to take the necklaces away? Fan Jialuo also asked me about the necklaces, so that thing is the key!” Jian Ya exclaimed, rubbing her empty neck.

Lin Nian’en hurriedly asked about the material and appearance of the necklace, and drew it on paper according to everyone’s description, but he couldn’t find any problems no matter how he looked at it.

“There are no engraved runes or spells, and no magic formation set up. This necklace is nothing special.” He was full of confusion when Fan Jialuo’s phone call came in.

Jian Ya answered immediately and put the call on speakerphone so everyone could hear what was being said, “Ms. Jian, I think I need to tell you that no matter who you find to suppress the injuries on your faces, the effect will only be temporary. They can’t heal you, and every second you delay will worsen your condition. Ms. Jian, only I can save you.”

Yes, Fan Jialuo is right. Taoist Lin couldn’t cure the injuries on their faces, he could only suppress them temporarily. But Taoist Lin had already made this clear and even arranged for his senior sister to come and completely eliminate any future problems. There was absolutely no deception or concealment involved.

Fan Jialuo only saw the appearance and called in a hurry, and said boldly that only he could save them, so as to show his ability and authority, and try to control them in the palm of his hand again, this is too ridiculous, right?

Thinking of this, Jian Ya actually laughed and said disdainfully, “Teacher Fan, you don’t need to worry about our faces. Someone will naturally heal us.”

“Temporary suppression is also called healing?” Fan Jialuo raised one eyebrow.

Jian Ya looked at Lin Nian’en, silently asking if he wanted to speak to the other side himself, but Lin Nian’en lowered his eyelids and waved his hand, his attitude extremely indifferent. He would not associate with such a fame-seeking person, it would be beneath his dignity.

“Of course we know the injuries on our faces are only temporarily suppressed. The Taoist priest who saved us made it clear to us that he couldn’t heal us, but his senior sister could. Teacher Fan, she is a legitimate disciple of the Taoist Sect. She can draw a talisman and heal our injuries in five minutes. Can you do that? Don’t think you’re so great just because you have some skills. There are many people in this world who are more capable than you.” Jian Ya crossed her legs, casually smoking a cigarette, her posture both arrogant and contemptuous.

She had found an even more powerful master, so she was naturally fearless.

Fan Jialuo twirled a speck of face cream between his fingers and said casually, “Ms. Jian, my previous explanation might have been unclear, leading to your misunderstanding. Let me be more explicit, what I mean by ‘only I can save you’ is—in the entire world, only I can save you. Do you understand?”

“What did you say?” Jian Ya was both amused and annoyed.

Lin Nian’en opened his eyes and stared intently at the phone on the table, a slight, disdainful smile slowly curving his lips. He had never seen anyone so arrogant and presumptuous before. He had grasped the principle that there was always someone better when he was five, but this person seemed oblivious to it.

Even with his disdain, he didn’t utter a single word to Fan Jialuo. Initially, he felt it was unnecessary, but now it was pure disgust and aversion. Such arrogant and ignorant people, even if born powerful spiritualists, would not be accepted by their sect. The patriarch valued character more than talent, he only admired those with unwavering resolve and noble conduct, like his senior sister.

This Fan Jialuo is really no good, no wonder so many people are criticizing him online! Thinking this, Lin Nian’en waved his hand, signaling Jian Ya to hang up the phone. He was too lazy to listen to this person’s nonsense anymore.

Jian Ya nodded and was about to reach for her phone when she heard Fan Jialuo slowly say, “Did that Taoist priest say that the things on your faces are evil qi? If so, then unfortunately, his so-called treatment method was wrong from the beginning.”

Taoist Lin did indeed say that. Jian Ya looked disdainful, but her heart was tightening.

Lin Nian’en lowered his index finger, his expression becoming more serious. What else could it be but evil qi? He wanted to hear what this person could come up with.

“How is he wrong? What else could the dark aura on our faces be but evil qi?” Jian Ya asked at Taoist Lin’s prompting.

Fan Jialuo stared at the frost on his fingertips and said, word by word, “It is bad karma.”

“Nonsense!” Lin Nian’en, who hadn’t intended to exchange a single word with Fan Jialuo, suddenly raised his voice in anger, “Mr. Fan, Miss Jian and the others are just ordinary people. They might be fooled by your words, but I am a legitimate disciple of the Taoist sect. I can tell your worth just by your words. Bad karma? You really dare to say that! Do you even know what bad karma is?”

Finally, the main character was brought out. Fan Jialuo couldn’t help but curl his lips and slowly said, “Of course I know what karma is. Karma is action, referring to all conscious behaviors and activities of sentient beings. The karma of ordinary people is divided into good karma, bad karma, and neutral karma. Neutral karma refers to karma that is neither good nor bad, and does not need to be recorded. Thus, karma is a series of messages that record all the behaviors and activities of a person in this life. It is a diary that is handed over to reincarnation after death, where reincarnation will judge and settle accounts. Accumulating good karma will bring blessings in the next life, while accumulating bad karma will lead to suffering in hell after death.”

Lin Nian’en sneered, “It seems you have some knowledge of Buddhist doctrines. Then you should understand that karma is a force of reincarnation, carried within the soul of every person. It cannot be extracted and applied to someone like evil qi. Using karma to punish someone is a power only gods possess. Mr. Fan, I think you’ve lost your mind!”

Fan Jialuo did not refute him, but gently twirled a speck of skin cream between his fingertips, carefully examining it, and explained in detail, “The karma on their faces is pure bad karma. Bad karma is divided into three types: physical karma, verbal karma, and mental karma. These three types can be further divided into ten types of karma, namely three types of physical karma: killing, stealing, and sexual misconduct; four types of verbal karma: lying, frivolous speech, harsh speech, and divisive speech; and three types of mental karma: greed, anger, and ignorance. The ten bad karmas can only be extracted and cleared in the cycle of reincarnation. Therefore, even I could not see the true form of that dark aura at first glance.”

He said seriously, “If you are truly a disciple of the orthodox Taoist sect, then you should know what the method is for eliminating karmic obstacles, right?”

Lin Nian’en sneered, “Do you think I would believe you? Using bad karma to harm people, such a thing is unheard of.”

Jian Ya and the others, who had initially been a little flustered, calmed down upon seeing Taoist Lin’s unwavering confidence. They roughly knew something about karma—the record book that Yama, the King of Hell, looked through while people awaited judgment after death. Only immortals could obtain such things, right? Did immortals really exist?

Thinking about it this way, Jian Ya and Ni Xinhai exchanged a glance and both smiled dismissively.

When Fan Jialuo’s persuasion failed, he gave up. Before hanging up, he still earnestly reminded him, “There are only two ways to eliminate karmic obstacles: one is to ask a high-ranking monk to perform a ritual for the deceased, and the other is to offset them with merit or faith. Otherwise, you can only repay them in hell after death. Taoist Lin, do you think there are many people in this world with great merit? Are there enough to save them all?”

Forced into a corner, Lin Nian’en could only retort, “Since you’ve said that there are only these two ways to eliminate karmic obstacles, then what makes you think you can save them? Do you think you’re a god?”

“There are no gods in the world.” Fan Jialuo finally hung up the phone.

Lin Nian’en scoffed for a while before dismissively uttering two words, “Nut-job.”

Jian Ya immediately chimed in, “He does have some mental issues, he always likes to mumble strange and mystical things.”

But were those truly mystical mumbling? Having found their talisman and become emboldened by support, they clearly forgot that Fan Jialuo had never uttered a single lie in any situation. They were terrified of everything he described, so they instinctively dismissed him as a fraud. Ultimately, this was merely their prejudice and self-deception.

After putting down his phone, Fan Jialuo realized that Park Liyu and her manager were staring at him in cold sweat, and even Dr. Song was sitting upright with a solemn expression.

“How could the things on Ms. Park’s face be bad karma? Bad karma is a kind of power of reincarnation. What kind of person can use bad karma at will?” Dr. Song was indeed Dr. Song. He could grasp the key points immediately after hearing only the general idea.

“I’m confused too.” Fan Jialuo held a jar of skin cream in his palm, enveloping it with a magnetic field and trying his best to sense it. However, the familiar situation occurred again, the skin cream inside the jar rapidly boiled and then exploded. If Fan Jialuo hadn’t been prepared this time and created a protective layer with a magnetic field, the entire room would probably have been affected.

After the jars were thrown on the ground, the remaining skin creams slowly turned black, then turned into mist and dissipated. The other bottles and jars on the table also emitted wisps of black mist and emitted a strong, pungent odor.

Seeing this, Park Liyu was terrified. She spent all her time smearing these horrible things on her face, no wonder she ended up disfigured! Bad karma—that’s something that can send you to hell after death! Was Su Fengxi planning to ruin her life, and even her next? What good would doing this do her?

Park Liyu’s house was already badly damaged by the black mist, and even Fan Jialuo’s clothes had several holes burned in them. But he still didn’t forget to envelop everyone with his magnetic field to prevent them from being tainted by bad karma——

Meanwhile, Lin Nian’en was also examining the bottles and jars provided by Jian Ya and the others, then picked up the paper with the necklace drawn on it and looked at it again and again. Finally, he chuckled and concluded, “The dark aura on your faces is indeed evil qi. Don’t panic, my senior sister can definitely save you.”

“The bad karma that Fan Jialuo spoke of…” Jian Ya asked curiously.

“It’s already outrageous that he said you’ve been tainted by bad karma, but to say that this evil qi has fused with the ten bad karmas is utter nonsense.” Lin Nian’en explained, “The ability to extract and blend the ten bad karmas into one is a power possessed only by gods, and there are no gods left in our world. It’s even more impossible for them to do such a thing to a few mortals.”

At this point, a hint of melancholy appeared on his face, as if he were reminiscing about a past where gods existed, or perhaps yearning for the great power of the gods. As he was lost in thought, there was a knock on Ni Xinhai’s door. At the appointed time, the legendary senior sister appeared precisely on time, not a minute early and not a second late.

Ni Xinhai, who rushed to open the door, clutched her chest and froze in shock when she saw who it was. Shi Yonghao, Luo Jiuyuan, and Bi Zetai, all men, were also in a daze when they looked at the doorway. Having worked in the entertainment industry and seen all sorts of beauties, they dared to swear on their lives that this woman was the most beautiful person they had ever seen.

The elegant and graceful Jian Ya couldn’t compare to her, the radiant Su Fengxi lacked her charm, and the charming and lovely Ni Xinhai was no match for her at all……

The three young men, who were usually lacking in literary talent, unanimously recalled a verse of poetry used to describe a peerless beauty: A true beauty is one whose face is like a flower, whose voice is like a bird, whose spirit is like the moon, whose posture is like a willow, whose bones are like jade, whose skin is like ice and snow, whose figure is like autumn water. With poetry in heart, they have no objection to this……

If such a beauty can appear before one’s eyes, then gods must truly exist, right? She is simply a fairy.
