Xue Ying Poison Effects

“First of all, even if I do mix some medicine for him to consume, he will have to keep consuming it over a very long timespan. As time passes, the Six Ghosts resentment will slowly adapt, making it so he’ll have to drink greater and greater amounts of medicine as its effects gradually lessen. The longest he could use this medicine is 200 years; that is when the medicine will completely lose its effect and Dong Bo Xue Ying will die. If he drinks through the medicine too fast, his lifespan will most likely be affected.

“Secondly, the hexing poison has already invaded his body, which means he will have to suffer through the pain it causes for that whole time! None of you could ever understand this pain since you’ve never felt it, but I can tell you—this hexing poison is so painful that it is also known by the name of ‘Torment’! The reason behind Dong Bo Xue Ying’s fainting was the pain he felt which was so extreme that caused him to lose consciousness. In the future, whenever he takes medicine, the pain will gradually weaken, but after the medicine is digested, the pain will return. Under this enormous pain, he will be certain to request more medicine; the more he drinks, though, the sooner he’ll die. Though he could theoretically live for 200 more years, in reality, many might not even reach 100 years.

“Not only that, since the hexing poison has invaded the layer of fundamental particles forming his body, he will no longer be able to cultivate. His Primordial Bloodline will never awaken. Similarly, the poison reached his Dantian Qi sea so he can’t cultivate Qi again. Whatever Qi is left in his body will slowly be used until he’s left without any.

“And finally, the excruciating pain caused by the Six Ghosts Resentment hexing poison remains terrifying even with the medicine slightly lessening it. Under such pain, it’s truly difficult for one to calm themselves down and focus on comprehending the Profound Mysteries of the World.

“Thus…

“Even if we save him, he’ll survive 200 years at the most, and 100 in the worst case scenario. During that whole time, he will have to suffer pain day in and day out, all the while being unable to cultivate his body or his Qi, or to comprehend the Profound Mysteries of the World!” The Purple Thunder Emperor explained. “Rescuing him would also require a huge amount of medicine—a prescription for 200 years. The price of sending down that much medicine is equivalent to that of sending down a Deity weapon!
