Chapter 15
A moment later, as my excitement waned, taking the Millennium Snow Ginseng presented itself as another problem. I was well aware that one must not consume such elixirs carelessly.
‘If one could gulp it down like common food, the struggle for the Millennium Snow Ginseng wouldn’t have taken so long…’
The Millennium Snow Ginseng is not a common elixir. No, in the past hundred years, the only elixir that could even compare is perhaps the Grand Elixir Pill from Shaolin Temple. An “elixir” implies that it contains the essence of nature in its extreme form, akin to a massive clump of gathered Qi.
Should I consume the Millennium Snow Ginseng without sufficient preparation, I’d undoubtedly suffer from an overbearing surge of Solar Blood, leading to unbearable heat in my lower abdomen and hips, eventually causing my entire circulatory system to burst and result in death. The contained, refined Qi in the Snow Ginseng would be too much to handle.
What the Millennium Snow Ginseng holds is extreme Yin qi. To consume a clump of Yin qi that has been concentrated for decades, even centuries, I too must possess a profound level of extreme Yin energy. But such energy can only be found in the North Sea, and fundamentally, my Thunder Dragon Breath Technique is Yang-oriented.
Should I adapt by absorbing it through similar Yin energy?
Or should I defend my vitality using intense Yang energy while assimilating the Yin energy?
The only option available to me is the latter.
Needless to say, whether my cultivation is at a level that can survive consuming the Millennium Snow Ginseng is still questionable. While my inner strength might be first-rate, it pales in comparison to the formidable experts who participated in the struggle for the Snow Ginseng. To survive after consuming it, meticulous preparation and focus are essential.
