Chapter 438: Detox

"Dean." Kang Ziwei was now a little worried, after all, when the Dean previously induced poison, he had already fainted once.

"It's just a precaution; maybe it won't cause fainting." She smiled lightly.

From her wide sleeve, she took out another pill, solemnly handing it to Kang Zhi Chun: "You only need to take care of this medicine; nothing else is your responsibility. I'll have you administer it—do not hesitate."

This was the pill she refined while in Phoenix Nest City; her body suffered extensive internal and external injuries, she could do nothing else, so she seized the time to refine this pill.

"Yes." Kang Zhi Chun nodded, his expression resolute.

Jiang Yunchu first guided her own inner energy directly into General Jiang's meridians; although she had prepared beforehand, she did not expect that General Jiang's inner energy would backlash even more violently this time.

Looking at her own deep-green inner energy, Jiang Yunchu lightly furrowed her brows.

How come, after putting on the ring, her inner energy also changed?

"Cut the middle finger." Jiang Yunchu suddenly said.

Chiang Fengsheng hesitated not at all, immediately cutting open his middle finger; the previously black blood was now a bluish-purple, and the white little worms kept falling out of his finger, only settling when they dropped into the hot water basin.

Jiang Yunchu did not look; Kang Ziwei, having experienced this once before, now had a normal expression.

Kang Zhi Chun's complexion was poor, somewhat pale, yet he endured it all along.

"Index finger." This time, Jiang Yunchu's command was especially swift; with a single order, the three people in the room acted.

Jiang Yunchu immediately realized that her inner energy was not only different but also much thicker; last time at this point she had gritted her teeth to endure, whereas now she could handle it with ease.

Moreover, she could fully control the flow of her inner energy; everything went smoothly.

Speaking of the toxin, this time there is certainly more of it, and the gu poison differs from other toxins in that it rebels and backlashes; previously it waned, became honest for a period, before allowing General Jiang to regain consciousness.

However, the poison made a comeback, the toxin in a tougher state carried out a backlash.

"Middle finger." Jiang Yunchu spoke quickly.

"Change the water."

"Index finger."

One command after another kept issuing from her mouth; after a full two hours, Jiang Yunchu's forehead also broke out in a thin sweat—even though her inner energy had become much stronger, she still found the massive consumption somewhat hard to bear.

"Zhi Chun, give the medicine."

Suddenly, in the quiet room, Jiang Yunchu's voice became more solemn.

Kang Zhi Chun kept holding the pill, enduring his stomach's discomfort, not daring to look elsewhere, only waiting for his duty.

Upon hearing the Dean's order, she without hesitation fed the pill into her maternal grandfather's mouth; the pill dissolved upon contact, requiring no swallowing.

"All right."

Kang Zhi Chun gave feedback.

Jiang Yunchu said nothing; at this moment she was controlling her inner energy, performing a final cleansing.

"Cut all five fingers open." Jiang Yunchu's command continued.

Outside, many people were waiting—the little ones and General Jiang's guards, guarding the entire military tent.

"Zi Wei." Jiang Yunchu suddenly said, "Golden needle."

Kang Ziwei immediately brought the golden needles, all of which had been soaked in medicine; these were the very items she had just been busy with.

Jiang Yunchu's gaze changed at this moment; the golden needles were inserted one by one into her head, back, arms, shoulders...

For a moment, General Jiang resembled a hedgehog, his whole body slightly trembling.

"Hold the basin, wait for the general to vomit."

Chiang Fengsheng looked at an empty basin; it turned out to be used at this time.

"Vomiting." General Jiang vomited, from his mouth emerged a dark-red worm, as thick as a thumb, constantly bending and twisting in the basin.

Kang Zhi Chun could no longer bear it and ran out.

Chiang Fengsheng also felt somewhat uncomfortable, yet he endured it nonetheless.

Unexpectedly, Kang Ziwei merely glanced at it, then continued as an assistant; even her complexion showed no change.

Jiang Yunchu manipulated the golden needles, then took the pulse, constantly monitoring the situation.

Time passed quickly; the military tent fell silent, the previous commands ceased.

"Second aunt, in a moment hold the general and put him in the tub." She said while pulling out the needles.

"Zi Wei, do you remember the medicine I told you to prepare? Come here." Jiang Yunchu, fearing she might faint, had previously informed Kang Ziwei of all the needed herbs.

"Yes."

Kang Ziwei showed no panic at all; her hand was very steady, needing no scale—after glancing at the herbs with a small scoop, she could estimate the exact amount.

This was a skill she had to master when she first entered the field; to hone it, she tested over a thousand medicinal herbs in the pharmacy, and she had to be precise to the minutest degree.

The Dean had said, "A miss is as good as a mile."

A slight difference could turn the tonic into poison, costing a life.

"All right, there are four medicines; they need to be added shortly." Kang Ziwei's eyes were solemn and serious.

Chiang Fengsheng without hesitation placed his father into the large tub; the scalding water, over sixty degrees, was poured into the tub, and General Jiang's body began to slowly turn red.

Then tiny gu worms, like strands of hair, emerged from his pores; once they fell into the medicine tub, they immediately ceased movement, turning into worm corpses that floated on the water's surface.

"Add the medicine." Jiang Yunchu, observing the situation, immediately said.

Although the time had not yet come, Kang Ziwei showed no hesitation, immediately began adding medicine; this time she added three types.

The water in the tub was clearly beginning to cool, yet General Jiang at that moment seemed to be ignited—his skin was scorching red.

After a quarter of an hour, Jiang Yunchu observed the situation and nodded to Kang Ziwei.

Kang Ziwei directly poured in the last medicinal liquid, which was also the final medicine.

After the medicine entered the tub, it was like lighting New Year's firecrackers—the tub crackled incessantly.

General Jiang suddenly spat out another mouthful of blood, but at this moment he slowly opened his eyes; in his pupils, the shadows of two red worms that had been wriggling were visible.

But that shadow became increasingly illusory, then gradually dissipated within his pupil.

Out of the pot……

"Not, out of the bucket." Jiang Yunchu hastily corrected himself, mainly who could have imagined, the last ingredient added was actually highly concentrated Sichuan pepper water.

At that time, when she read the travelogue, she didn't understand either, but later, after gradual study, she only then knew the marvelous use of Sichuan pepper water.

However, the fragrance of the Sichuan pepper, in this military tent, really made her……

I want to eat hot pot……

Hot pot……

Others might not know what it is, but the few people in the tent are all from Jingdu; who could still not know hot pot?

However, this taste indeed gives a somewhat familiar feeling.
