Qin Zhaoyue had already experienced this once before. Although the poison was more potent and domineering this time due to the prolonged lingering effect, the underlying principle remained the same.
The most insidious aspect of the so-called "life-saving poison" lies in its ability to tightly bind the victim's life force and vital energy together.
Any attempt to unilaterally replenish life will be instantly devoured by this binding toxin, and will be in vain.
Therefore, the only option previously was to put the Queen Mother into a deep sleep and then use her special true energy to keep that last sliver of life alive.
The antidote is simple: just remove this damned binding completely.
This is because the toxin is extremely cunning. If it cannot be completely eradicated in one go, even if only a trace remains, it will reignite in an instant.
But this time, Qin Zhaoyue was full of confidence.
Aside from her past successes, her cultivation has greatly increased, and the number on her merit book, representing "national prosperity and peace," is more abundant than ever before!
With money bulging in their pockets, people naturally feel at ease and confident.
Similar to the previous process, she only needed to continuously and steadily output true qi, guiding the power of merit into it.
As the unbinding process progresses, the life force within the Queen Mother's body is becoming increasingly vigorous and vibrant at an astonishing rate.
The external changes are even more visible to the naked eye.
The once wrinkled and withered face began to rejuvenate as if time had reversed.
The bluish-black death aura on the skin quickly faded, gradually revealing the radiance of a living person.
Deep wrinkles are quietly smoothed out, leaving skin smooth and firm, restoring amazing elasticity and luster.
Even the dry, gray roots of hair quickly revealed a vibrant, dark life force.
As life flourished, the true energy suppressed by the toxins within Qin Minghuang's body became increasingly difficult to tame, surging wildly through her meridians.
"Suppress!" Qin Zhaoyue shouted in a low voice.
Chu Xinglan immediately took action, her pure "Domain" power acting like an invisible shackle, steadily enveloping the Empress and forcibly suppressing the terrifying true energy that was about to go berserk.
Soon, Qin Zhaoyue felt her true energy draining away at an increasingly rapid pace.
It seemed as if countless tiny, crisp "ding-a-ling" sounds rang in my ears; it was an illusion caused by the rapid consumption of a massive amount of merit points.
She knew she had reached the most crucial moment in detoxification, and even took the time to check the Book of Merits.
The balance is still very ample, so there is absolutely no need to worry.
The suppressed true energy surged and raged within the Empress's body, causing considerable damage to her meridians even with Chu Xinglan's "domain" restraining it.
However, whenever a crack appears in the meridians, it is instantly repaired by Qin Zhaoyue's vital energy, which contains boundless vitality.
This cycle of destruction and rebirth repeated countless times in a short period of time.
"Hmm..."
About twenty breaths later, a soft but clear murmur reached the ears of the three people present.
Qin Minghuang's long eyelashes trembled violently; she was about to wake up!
At this moment, the true energy within her body was like boiling lava, reaching the critical point of explosion.
"Get ready! Almost done!"
Qin Zhaoyue roared, and the speed of her surging true energy reached its peak.
An invisible vortex seemed to appear within the Queen Mother's body, greedily devouring all the power she had supplied.
Bang!
A muffled sound came from deep within the Queen Mother's dantian, as if some kind of solid barrier had been completely breached.
Immediately afterwards, the surging and turbulent true energy was like a wild horse that had been tamed.
It subsided abruptly, flowing gently through the newly rejuvenated and broad meridians.
Then, Qin Minghuang suddenly opened her eyes.
Those phoenix eyes were initially somewhat confused, but quickly regained their usual clarity and depth.
His gaze fell on the face of the person so close to him, pale and covered in sweat. He instinctively called out softly:
"Little Six?"
Qin Zhaoyue's extremely tense mind completely relaxed at this moment.
With a roll of his eyes, before he could even utter a single word, he collapsed softly onto the Queen Mother like a puppet with its strings cut.
The next moment, a soft but even snoring sound began to emanate from her nose.
