Xue Tong's heart skipped a beat, pounding wildly. The corolla centipede is an ancient and strange insect. On the top of the adult's head is a fleshy five-color corolla. It is so poisonous that monks of the same rank are often killed when bitten.
"I didn't see it clearly. Could it be a centipede larvae?" Xue Tong wondered.
"Well, a black insect like a chopstick, after biting it, it jumped to the top of the tree. The fireball of fine fire shot by my son with his hand blew it into pieces."
"How do you know it's a corolla centipede?"
"I didn't know it at first, but because I saw yellow spots on the insect's tail, I thought it was the larvae of a yellow star centipede. I immediately took a detoxifying pill and trimmed off the wound along with the skin and flesh."
"But after just a few breaths, Qu Lin's whole body was paralyzed and his breath was dying."
"I stayed home for two months before I could get out of bed."
"Since then, I have consulted famous doctors, and most of them guessed that it was the corolla centipede, otherwise it would never be so poisonous."
"I have taken more than a hundred kinds of antidote before and after, up to the sixth-grade elixir, but they can only delay the onset of the poison, but cannot cure it."
"Qu Lin falls into a coma once every two years. He needs blood transfusions all over his body and the help of someone to force out the poison before he can be rescued from hell."
"Two years after he was rescued, toxins accumulated in his body, and he fell into coma again, and the cycle started over and over again. Ten years ago, the magic power to extract poison became useless, and the body needed to absorb the poison."
"The poison-absorbing pharmacist's palm has a faint five-color flower shape, which proves that the corolla centipede is indeed responsible!" Qu Zhenqing's eyes sparkled with tears, and a helpless desolation filled his old and desperate face.
To absorb poison is to inject mana into the poisoned person, and circulate it back to the rescuer, so that the poison can be brought into the rescuer to reduce the poison in the poisoned person's body.
Forcing the poison means forcing the poison out of the poisoned person. It is harmless to the rescuer, but absorbing the poison will infect the person himself. The difference between the two methods is heaven and earth!
Medical treatment for absorbing toxins from the physical body is expensive, and almost no one is willing to do it. Once the toxins absorbed are excessive and cannot be forced out, it is no different from being poisoned.
Xue Tong's heart sank, knowing that it was impossible to cure the corolla centipede's poison with his current elixir medical skills.
Even the larvae are highly toxic!
"Who draws poison for Qu Lin, and what is his martial rank?" Xue Tong asked.
"The innate peak of the Shinra Sect, one draw will protect your life for two years."
"Ten years in a row"
"Basically, people are replaced every four years. To put it bluntly, when it comes to drug abuse, except for close relatives, whoever is willing to help outsiders will either be poor or crazy, or have a knife to their neck."
"I risked my life to make money, but after doing it twice, I never wanted to do it again. Fortunately, there are many people in the Shinra Sect, and new people have been invited one after another." Qu Zhenqing said.
"Are all the drug addicts okay?"
"Nothing unusual has been seen, and these people don't want to drink more. The concentration of toxins in my son's body is the same every time. I just spend money to prolong my life." When Qu Zhenqing said this, he couldn't help himself, and his eyes rolled down. Teardrops.
"How much money will be spent on medical treatment if you take out the poison once?" Xue Tong asked.
"The Qu family has already spent two million spirit stones. It will take a few years, I'm afraid!" Qu Zhenqing trembled slightly.
"How long will it be until the next time I take drugs?"
"One year and five months"
"There is still some time. Yang still has some time to think of a solution. He needs to bring blood samples and poison testing sticks back." Xue Tong said.
Qu Zhenqing spent decades making his own test stick to test the centipede toxin concentration, based on the symptoms of Qu Lin's illness, experiments on cattle, sheep and monsters, expressed on a scale of one to ten degrees.
"Of course you can, but you need to be extra careful not to contaminate it, as it will penetrate through the pores." Qu Zhenqing said.
...Xue Tong brought back two large bottles of Qulin's poisonous blood. The poison test stick showed that the toxin concentration was nine. Luo Jianzi arranged a yard overgrown with weeds and said, "I will send my servants to clean it carefully tomorrow. The Taoist priest will make do with it for the night."
"Well, Yang will expand the underground palace on the mountain behind the courtyard slightly, so that the spiritual pets can move more easily."
"Fellow Daoist Yang, please feel free to send word if you have any questions."...
"A dead horse should be treated as a live doctor!" Although Xue Tong knew that his elixir had no possibility of detoxification in the face of the strange poison of the corolla centipede, he still carefully prepared several mixed antidote solutions.
Drop in the poisonous blood and test them one by one. Sure enough, none of them had any effect, and the scale on the poison test stick stopped firmly at the nine position.
No hope of detoxification! Absorbing poison
"You only risk taking poison if you have a bad brain!"
"If you drink too much and the poisonous earthworms take root, you will be extremely stupid."
"Can I compare with those people who are so poor and crazy?" Xue Tong flatly denied Ji Du's thoughts. Xue Tong couldn't think of a good solution for a while, but he finally had a safe place to practice.
He would worry about drug treatment every few days, feeling that a year later his prototype would inevitably show up and he would be called a liar by the Qu family.
I spent two months uneasily like this. Xue Tong suddenly thought of something!
"The poison-absorbing system has no choice because the poison-forcing effect is not good. Poison-forcing is related to the caster. Those people can't force it, but Xue may be able to force it!"
"My magic power is at the level of a grandmaster. Has the Qu family hired a grandmaster?" Xue Tong said to Luo Jianzi. It was inconvenient for him to openly ask the Qu family if they had hired a master-level monk, so he used the excuse of asking about the history of treatment.
In the end, he half-truthed and joked: "At the beginning, Qu Zhenqing had no idea how to spend a lot of money to hire a particularly powerful character to force Mr. Qu to poison him."
"I invited Grandmaster Linghu thirty years ago. It was because of the Qu family's old reputation. Senior Linghu poisoned me for two months and saved the young master's eight years of peace!"
"That was also the happiest period of my life."
"Later, I refused to help."
"Continuous poisoning consumes a lot of money, and Grandmaster Linghu was worried about being poisoned. After that, he made excuses several times and was unwilling to pay."
"The head of the family has no choice but to ask a peak Xiantian warrior to pay 700,000 spirit stones to force poison at one time."
"Ten years later, the concentration of toxins will be deeper, and forcing the poison will be ineffective, so the drug will be absorbed instead." Luo Jianzi sighed. Xue Tong felt a little relieved after hearing this, as there was still hope for curing the poison.
Xue Tong practiced the scriptures hard and only went out once during the process. It was the coming of the New Year, and the children who had separated from each other came back to visit.
The three men and two women were very dissatisfied with Qu Zhenqing and only went home once during the Chinese New Year. Most of the Qu family's financial resources were consumed by Qu Lin, and the other children were naturally dissatisfied. A few of them were in ordinary circumstances and hoped that Qu Zhenqing would provide more financial support. They also had high hopes for Xue Tong.
Xue Tong didn't talk much during the dinner, except that he was preparing potions. After May. Xue Tong prepared a strange potion, and the antidote was mixed with the ingredients of Ecstasy.
"There has to be some gimmick, just like a charlatan who often does things that are pretentious to hide the real means." Xue Tong's real method is to use powerful magic to force poison.
He joined the Qu family for more than a year and met Qu Lin for the first time. A dark inner courtyard hut. Qu Lin has disheveled hair and a sluggish expression. He has a thin black face with greenish cheekbones and high cheekbones. A piece of his right shoulder has been shaved off, revealing a dark shoulder bone.
He sat motionless, and when he saw Xue Tong entering the room, he didn't say anything before he stood up, and his eyelids quickly drooped as soon as he raised them.
"I have been struggling between life and death for decades, my martial arts level has declined, and my mentality has long since collapsed." Xue Tong did not feel dissatisfied and smiled.
Counting the days, the toxins in Qu Lin's body should have returned to the eighth level from the fifth level just after taking the poison twenty months ago.
In three months, it will rise to the ninth degree, and the poison will need to be taken again.
"Daozhang Yang prepares the antidote, and then uses magic power to force out the poison. If the toxin concentration does not increase, it will be considered successful." Qu Zhenqing babbled, but Qu Lin was like a wooden man, his expression unchanged.
He had been disappointed so many times that his heart had long since become quiet, and he ignored Qu Zhenqing's words.
Qu Lin drank the potion and lay prone on the bed in a daze, digging holes in the wooden board around his face to ensure smooth breathing through his mouth and nose.
He and Xue Tong were the only ones left in the back room. Luo Jianzi and his servants were on duty in the outer room, waiting for orders at any time. Xue Tong sat at the end of the bed, holding Qu Lin's feet, and slowly injected the magic power into the meridians of the soles of the feet.
Qu Lin's meridians were polluted by toxins and became dry and dry, like the dry earth. The magic power Xue Tong poured into him disappeared within a few inches.
Restoring Qu Lin's body to the point where it can withstand the powerful flow of mana is only the first step in extracting poison! Extracting poison is different from absorbing poison. To absorb poison, you only need to have smooth meridians. A small amount of toxins near the meridians are collected and transferred back to the caster with the flow of mana. In order to force the poison into the body, the body of the poisoned person needs to be made warm and moist, and the mana must be poured into the corners to collect the poison.
How can the mana consumed by the two methods be the same! Day after day. Qu Lin's body was soaked in the poison of the Corolla Centipede and slowly became warm.
Xue Tong restored his mana every half a day, and did not hesitate to consume spiritual stone pills to shorten the interval between mana infusion. ...Two months later.
"Uh-huh" Qu Lin started to vomit blood. The smell inside the house was unbearable, and even Luo Jianzi in the outer room smelled disgusting.
His eyes widened with an incredible expression!
"Wow!" Qu Lin spit out a big mouthful of black blood! Xue Tong collected the poisonous blood and pushed open the door. He looked exhausted and said feebly: "The refined medicinal solution is effective and has forced out the poisonous blood. Yang needs to rest while refining the medicine and continue to excrete the poison next year." Qu Lin's toxin concentration dropped to five degrees, and Xue Tong had The certainty has dropped again, but many things cannot be rushed. Xue Tong's original intention is to stay in the Qu family. If he is cured too quickly, he will not stay long.
The Qu family was in a state of excitement, and Qu Zhenqing was ecstatic and thanked him profusely for sending millions of spiritual stones. He saw the light and half of the spiritual stone was saved.
...Xue Tong stayed comfortably in Qu Mansion, practicing martial arts and martial arts. A year and a half later, he forced poison again and lowered the scale to four.
It caught up with Linghu Ce's level back then. Qu Lin's life will be safe within eight years. In addition to the progress in the cultivation of the scriptures, Xue Tong's sword control skills at this time were now able to combine two swords and use three moves in succession. He executed the formulas smoothly and coordinated perfectly with Xingyunju's heavy blows.
But he still found Qu Zhenqing with a sad look on his face and said: "It is difficult to improve the quality of the medicinal liquid. Yang needs to go out to buy some medicinal materials and participate in the spiritual object trading meeting. As far as I know, Yunxi's high-end occasion is not who Anyone can enter. As a family of immortal cultivators, the Qu family must have similar passes."
"Yes, yes, but" Qu Zhenqing's old face showed a hint of embarrassment. The steward answered: "The Qu family is in a bad situation. This jade plaque has not been used for a long time. If the Taoist Master wants it, take it and only show it to others when necessary to avoid unnecessary trouble."
"So as not to be laughed at, haha!"
"It doesn't matter. Yang knows it well and won't show this jade plaque to others casually." Xue Tong said with a smile.
"The Taoist Master will not leave Wancheng and never come back." Qu Zhenqing said worriedly. Xue Tong has been here for nearly three years, and the Qu family's situation has improved significantly. Millions of spiritual stones have been saved, and the future is beginning to look brighter.
"Yang just took a look at the 'Shenluo Gathering' of the Shenluo Sect, don't worry, fellow Taoist Qu!" Xue Tong replied without thinking.
He pretends to go out, one is to hide the public's eyes, and the other is to get some spiritual objects. The Shinra Sect's five-year event is a rare opportunity, and it is necessary to observe and observe.
"Why don't you go with Butler Luo? He's familiar with it after all." Qu Zhenqing suggested.
