Chapter 622: The Space Detoxification Horror Upgrade (1)_1
In the three primary medicinal ingredients, the century-old red python gall is a holy item for detoxification, but it is also extremely Yin and cold by nature. Its medicinal properties are extremely dominant, and only black Lingzhi, which is mild in nature and possesses multiple effects such as detoxification and repair, can suppress and neutralize it, making it usable for the human body.
As for the thousand-year Ginseng, it is used to strengthen Chu Heng’s foundation and cultivate his original energy. Chu Heng has been poisoned for a long time, with his internal organs, flesh, and bone marrow all contaminated by toxins. Now, in such a weakened state, his body is severely deficient. During the detoxification, the essence of his blood and original energy will also be expelled along with the toxins.
Without the support of essence and original energy, even if the toxins are successfully removed, he will have no chance of survival. Only the thousand-year Ginseng can quickly make up for his lost essence. Common Ginseng and similar substances are useless to him.
Doctor Gui did not have full confidence in removing the heart-eating poison from his body, and the detoxification process was very painful. He did not know if Chu Heng had the willpower to endure it, but aside from this, there were no other ways to prolong Chu Heng’s life.
Emperor Huian was very aware of this. He stayed in the medicinal chamber the entire time Night Ghost Doctor was detoxifying Chu Heng, barely closing his eyes for a moment.
In the medicinal chamber, Chu Heng, still in a coma, was soaking naked in the scorching medicinal pool, with only his head exposed. The three-foot-square medicinal pool was covered with dozens of precious and common medicinal herbs, filling the entire chamber with an unpleasant medicinal scent.
As time passed, an unnatural flush appeared on Chu Heng’s originally pale face. The reason it was abnormal was that within the flush, hints of green-black could be seen faintly—and they were moving. Like black worms hidden beneath the skin, they made Chu Heng’s originally gentle countenance appear frightfully ghastly and eerie.
