When Qin Tiexin was helped back to the rest area, he could no longer stand.
The medical cultivator was busy in the room for half an hour, pricking more than a dozen spiritual needles into his body, and drinking two bowls of blue-black concoction. Lin Chuan and others waited at the door, waiting for the medical cultivator to come out, and hurriedly chased him to ask about the situation.
"The poison has penetrated into the blood, but it is not to the point of being hopeless." The medical practitioner wiped his hands and looked tired, "This poison is strong, specifically disrupting Qi and Blood and spiritual power. Fortunately, he has a strong foundation in physical training, and Cultivation Method is also special, and can suppress the poison. I have stabilized it with medicine, and he is fine."
Lin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "Then can he continue to participate in the competition?"
The doctor shook his head. "You can't do anything anymore. He needs to rest for at least a month, otherwise the toxins will damage his Dantian and meridians again, and then it will be really dangerous."
Qin Tiexin leaned on the bedside and listened to these words clearly. The medical practitioner glanced at him, left only a bottle of conditioning elixir, and turned around to leave.
Lin Chuan Several people gathered around Qin Tiexin and hurriedly asked him how he was doing, but Qin Tiexin was completely speechless at this time. His lips moved and he only made a hoarse sound.
Xu Ying looked behind, took out a jade bottle from Storage Bag, and handed it over.
There are three pills in the bottle, all green and white, with a fresh smell of grass and leaves, but the fluctuations in spiritual power are extremely violent.
"Senior Brother Ming, this is the third-level Poison-Clearing Pill." Xu Ying said, "It has a miraculous effect on suppressing and cleaning up toxins. Take one first and see if it has any effect."
Qin Tiexin took it, poured one out and put it in his mouth.
The elixir melted, and a cool feeling flowed down the throat, and my whole body felt a little more relaxed. At least I could move my hands and feet, and I no longer had the slightest difficulty in exerting myself like before.
But it was just refreshing, the spiritual power in Dantian and the Qi and Blood in the meridians were still in a mess. He tried to use a trace of it, and there was an immediate tingling sensation in the meridians, like broken porcelain scraping into the flesh.
"This poison is extraordinary." Qin Tiexin said hoarsely.
Liu Suifeng said hurriedly, "Senior Brother Ming, why don't you give up on the next games? I don't care about this one, it's already amazing to be in the semi-finals."
Qin Tiexin shook his head and did not answer.
In fact, in his situation, Star Selection Bureau should have gone to Chen Du to get the antidote.
But Chen Du is still unconscious. When he was carried down, he only had half a life left, and Dantian was completely disabled.
Even if he wakes up and suffers such a disaster, he may not be willing to give it. What's more, Qin Tiexin has a vague feeling that Chen Du's goal is to kill himself. It's hard to say whether there is an antidote. If there is, he may not be willing to give it to him.
After a while, Qin Tiexin felt that he could move on his own. Lin Chuan and others were asked to leave the rest area, and now there were only four people left here.
The top four contestants each took a corner, and no one said anything.
Outside the rest area, the betting in the gambling house was at its craziest.
"Currently, Xie Chen has the highest winning odds, Lan Lingwei is second, and Xiao Yan is third."
"Where is Mingjue?"
"Mingjue is at the bottom. News of his poisoning has spread, and it's still unclear whether he can play."
The four of them sat cross-legged in the rest area, waiting for the Star Selection Bureau to speak.
An official came to the stage, cleared his throat, and announced the rules for the semifinals and finals.
Unlike before, the semi-finals are drawn in advance, so you know your opponent today and have an extra day to rest.
After two days of rest, two semi-finals were held consecutively in the morning of the third day. The finals were held directly in the afternoon, with only a two-hour break in between.
"This move is also a test of your continuous fighting ability." The official said, "Don't worry, during the rest period, Star Selection Bureau will provide the best recovery methods, including elixirs and magic circles."
Someone in the stands nodded.
"This is a good change of rules. After one fight, the fight will continue in the afternoon. Only then can you see your true skills."
"Yes, it would be too long to wait."
After the official finished speaking, he turned around and pointed at the light curtain on the high platform. The light curtain lit up, and the two groups of names scrolled for a moment and then slowly froze.
Semi-finals, Game 1: Lan Lingwei, Mingjue.
Semi-finals, Game 2: Xie Chen, Xiao Yan.
There was silence in the stands first, and then there was a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, Xie Chen and Lan Lingwei didn't meet in advance."
"The two favorites left separately, and it will be them two in the final eight."
"Mingjue's body bones, facing Lan Lingwei, it's hard to say whether it can be done."
Qin Tiexin looked at Lan Lingwei. Lan Lingwei also looked over, his eyes stopped on his face for a moment, and he nodded slightly.
After the show, the four of them went back to their rooms.
Qin Tiexin closed the door, sat down on the futon, and the calmness on his face gradually faded away.
He took out the jade bottle given by Xu Ying, poured out the remaining two Poison-Clearing Pills, and turned out all the Antidote Pills stored in his storage ring. There were more than a dozen of them and placed them in front of his knees.
His current situation is far worse than what he pretends to be outside.
Not to mention fighting, even standing up is difficult.
Dantian There is a red toxin floating everywhere in the body, around the heart, and in the meridians throughout the body.
Wherever the thing passed, there was a faint feeling of Bursting, like countless tiny pieces of gunpowder buried in the flesh, just waiting for a spark to ignite.
Poison-Clearing Pill and the spiritual needles of medical practitioners only press hard on these toxins to prevent them from exploding temporarily, treating the symptoms but not the root cause.
Qin Tiexin As long as Qi and Blood is slightly mobilized, or a trace of spiritual power is introduced, the meridians will be like water splashed into a pan of oil, crackling, and the pain will make people's eyes black.
This poison is overbearing.
In other words, this is not entirely poison. It is more like an extremely strong medicine, specifically targeting Qi and Blood and spiritual power. The more it is stirred, the more powerful it becomes.
The expulsion effects of Fire of Life and Red Luan Heart Flame are also limited to it, and can only be slowly worn away from time to time.
Qin Tiexin I estimated that at this rate, it would take seven days at the earliest.
But the semifinals are two days later and I can't make it.
No.
He lowered his head and felt his body, and a bold idea came to his mind.
He first stuffed the two Poison-Clearing Pills, together with the dozen Antidote Pills in front of his knees, into his mouth.
The elixir was dissolved, and its power suppressed the toxins running around in the body. Qin Tiexin's head became much clearer, and his hands stopped shaking.
Then, he took out dozens of pills to replenish Qi and Blood from the storage ring.
These were originally used for his Body Refining practice, and they were all laid out in front of him at this moment.
His thinking is very clear.
These poisons are, in the final analysis, energy. According to "True Fire Furnace Scripture", Fire of Life can absorb all energy and use it to temper Essence Blood.
This poison naturally counts as energy, but it is too overbearing and can only be absorbed little by little.
And the Fire of Life in his heart is now tightly suppressed, only the size of a soybean, and its efficiency is pitifully low.
Then he uses external energy to activate Fire of Life and feed the fire. When the fire is strong, the toxins are absorbed faster and the recovery is faster.
This method is risky. If it fails, Qi and Blood will conflict in the body and the meridians will be damaged. But if you do nothing, you will not be able to go to the semi-finals two days later.
Both sides are losing, so it's better to give it a try.
