Chapter 54: Cleansing Toxins
As one of the premier Biodefense researchers in his past life, Li Lang was right in his ballpark when researching the new drug he had made to remove toxins.
The drug trial was something he had done hundreds of times. Coupled with the advanced technological analyzer, thanks to Ruby, he was quickly able to verify the effectiveness and safety of his new drug within a few weeks.
If only I could do the same with things imbued with Qi…
Li Lang had collected the samples from his subjects every day since the first day he handed the experimental drug out.
“Ruby, can you compile the report for me from all the samples we’ve recently analyzed?”
“Of course, master.”
The artifact spirit took on the role of the AI inside Li Lang’s lab and swiftly organized all the data they had recently gathered into a proper report with charts and graphs.
Li Lang sat back in his office chair as he leisurely browsed the report on a tablet.
He only needed to skim it to realize there had been no adverse effects from his new drug so far. Over the course of experiments, he had each subject take two pills a day. Based on the data, the average human could consume six of these pills without issue each day.
The main problem he was now considering was the cost of production. The Radiant Bloodstones required in the new drug weren’t cheap and cost an entire Qi stone for each portion required for a pill.
Once a working formula was discovered, efficiency was what came into Li Lang’s considerations. By removing the toxins, it should give someone an ‘extra’ cultivation session, but that was on the assumption he had sufficient materials for the new drug. The only cap was the daily limit of six dosages a human could safely take. According to Li Lang’s theory, if one could cultivate extensively like this, it could exert enough stress on the spiritual roots to improve them, like muscles.
He had tried to study what spiritual roots actually were, but none of his scans ever turned anything up. This was true even when he tried putting corpses of animals and bodies he found in a morgue. That was why he could only base his hypothesis on the unique physique he had encountered with Ri Xin.
