Chapter 1730 Healing Starts
"Do you understand her situation?" Alex asked.
Liz nodded. "Something about the poison being stuck in her dantian where her soul is protected by her Qi, so you closed off the dantian so that the Qi did not escape."
Alex nodded in return. "Then do you understand why it is troublesome to treat her?" he asked.
"We can't destroy the poison because her dantian is closed off. And we can't open the dantian because then the Qi could escape in great amounts and the poison could kill her."
Alex nodded again.
"So what do we do about it?" Liz asked. "The lady Luoyang said that eating the two pills at once would not work since the effects of the pills would destroy each other."
"It will end up producing a different result is what will happen, but saying they destroy each other is not far off," Alex confirmed for her.
"Then?" Liz asked. "What is it we do?"
"Sister needs to eat the pills with enough gap in between them that they don't conflict with each other," Alex said. "We cannot let the two effects mix together."
"But that won't work," Liz said in an exasperated tone. "We just talked about it."
Alex sighed. "If you let me finish, I would have told you that while she will eat the pill at different instances, it will affect her at the same time."
"How?" Liz asked.
"That is what I want you here for," Alex said. "I hope you can slow down time in her dantian. More accurately, after the dantian takes in the energy from the pill, I want you to slow down time for everything inside of it. The poison, the Qi, the soul. Everything. Can you do that?"
"In just the dantian?" Liz asked. "No, not even that. Just the inside of it?"
"Where are the pills?" she asked.
Alex brought out both the pills and pulled out the first pill. "I'll open her dantian," Alex said. "You get ready to stop it from releasing any Qi."
Liz nodded and prepared.
Seeing her aunt ready, Alex fed Hannah the first pill and helped her swallow it. "It's activating. Get ready," Alex informed.
Liz was ready. Her eyes were closed and she entirely focused on her spiritual sense to feel the flow of energy toward the dantian.
The energy flowed down Hannah's meridians moving to every part of her body, expanding them as they went along. Then, it arrived at her dantian where its effect started showing.
As soon as the energy fell on the dantian, it started opening.
At that very moment, Liz sent her spirit to the edges of the dantian and used her Dao on whatever was inside. She had been warned against the poison, so she did not dare enter the dantian entirely.
The Dao of Time Stagnation landed on just the inside of the dantian and not on the dantian itself. So, the opening of the dantian was not stopped in any way.
Alex sent his senses into Hannah's body to check on its status. The 9-veined pill truly had a lot of energy to spare, so there was still a bit going through her body.
"How long?" Liz asked through gritted teeth. Over a minute had passed, and she was still continuously using her Dao on that one small specific area, which was causing her a lot of mental duress.
"Just a little longer," Alex said, keeping watch on the energy level.
Another minute passed and Liz kept at it. Sweat flowed freely down the side of her face, dripping down to her knees while she continued using her dao with the same effectiveness.
Alex looked at Hannah's body and waited until all of the energy had either done its work or had gone stale and dissipated out through her body, no longer affecting anything.
That was the moment he fed her the second pill.
