Chapter 8: Consuming Blood Ginseng

    Chapter 8: Consuming Blood Ginseng


    <em>Blood ginseng!</em>


    Unlike ordinary ginseng, this was an extremely rare medicinal material. Its body was crystalline and crimson, giving off a strong ginseng odor. Whoever caught a whiff would be ovee with the desire to im the root.


    With the ability to boost ones vitality and longevity, blood ginsengs medicinal properties were more powerful than average ginseng. The material could also strengthen a cultivators bone and muscle. Of course, any sacred tonic made with it would be expensive.


    Once, a long time ago, Yang Wu had seen a few of these roots in the Yangs treasure vault. His father had promised to gift him one once he reached the Warrior Realm.


    Never in his wildest dreams had he expected Sooty to walk in with a blood ginseng root clenched between its teeth. Furthermore, half of the root was gone, leaving only a small amount of ginseng. His heart clenched at the sight.


    The ck pup walked up to him, tail wagging as if proud of what it had found.


    He stooped down and carefully took the blood ginseng root,menting, Sooty, oh, Sooty. Youve wasted a treasure!


    Though the root was small, Yang Wu considered it exceptionally valuable due to its rarity.


    Sootys tongue lolled, and when the little dog noticed the sealing pearl in Yang Wus other hand, a spark shed in its eyes. <em>Woof, woof!</em> It barked softly.


    It was about to snatch the bead from the young mans hand, but Yang Wu reacted quickly, pulling the hand back. Dont mess around, Sooty. You cant eat this, he scolded the pup nervously.


    Barking, the little dog jumped twice, attempting to snatch the bead away, but each attempt was easily dodged. I can give you anything but this. This bead may y a role in my ns; you cant eat it.


    The dog rolled its eyes and finally retreated to a corner, no longer interested. Circling its spot and stretchingzily, it went to sleep.


    Yang Wu dismissed the pup as he returned to his careful examination of the sealing pearl in his right hand. With a nce at the small blood ginseng root in his left, a gratified smile spread across his face. Heaven has certainly lent me a hand. With these two items, I wont need to be concerned with how soon Ill reach my previous cultivation status.


    Without further ado, Yang Wu stored the sealing pearl and took a small bite out of the blood ginseng. He did not dare bite off toorge a chunk, knowing it might be too potent for his body. If he could not metabolize the ginseng properly, he would waste this chance and potentially harm himself in the process.


    The taste was bittersweet as he chewed, and as wisps of medicinal energy began to flow through his system, he felt his temperature rise. His dantian clenched with what felt like hunger pangs. Responding quickly, he circted the Supreme Nine Profound Art to aid his digestion.


    Relying on the profound art, Yang Wu directed the blood ginsengs medicinal energy toward his dantian, which felt as if it hadnt received any kind of sustenance for several days and greedily consumed the new energy. The results were instantaneous, and a pure energy manifested within his dantian.


    The pure energy rushed through his twelve major meridians like a gushing river, roaring as its waves surged. The sound of crashing water was music to his ears.


    This was the sign he had been waiting for, the sign that he had be a Medial Grade Foot Soldier.


    This new, pure energy also improved Yang Wus blood cirction, considerably boosting his vitality. In the process, it reinforced his meridians, organs, and bones.


    Of course, the young man could not see any of this happening within him. He only felt a soothingfort as if he had submerged himself in a hot spring.


    Not longter, he heard another melodious ringing reverberate from within. The sound came as fast and as furious as water through rapids as Profound Energy rotated between his dantian and his meridians, rippling through his system. This Profound Energy wasrgely different from the energy most cultivators experienced; it was denser and more pristine. Yang Wus unusual peach pit dantian might be behind this fortuitous oddity; average Medial Grade Foot Soldiers hardly had such a solid foundation to work with.


    This time, the melody within Yang Wu sang three times, indicating that he had gained another three stones of strength, reaching seven in total. Now, he was only three stones away from the Superior Grade.


    This all happened within the same hour, and by the time it was over, he had refined all of the energy from the small nibble of blood ginseng he had consumed.


    The blood ginseng had provided more than enough medicinal energy for a Warrior. The fact that Yang Wu had absorbed it so quickly was more proof that the Supreme Nine Profound Art was exceptional. Other profound arts might fail to absorb the medicinal energy as quickly.


    When Yang Wu opened his eyes, the exhausted dark circles under them were gone. He looked alert and vibrant.


    He realized his hearing had grown much sharper, as well. He could only attribute the improvement to the blood ginseng and his most recent achievement of breaking through to the next cultivation grade.


    He stretched for a moment, sighing, Sofortable!


    The young man had so much excess energy that he did not think twice before emerging from his den. He wanted to spend some of his free time practicing hisbat techniques.


    As he straightened outside, he realized his manhood was particrly robust. The sight made him blush, and he muttered under his breath, This viscount is quite spirited tonight!


    Sadly, there were few women in this forsaken ce, and even if there were, he wouldnt relieve his tensions with them. A man had to maintain his virginity for sixteen years before he could present his body to the woman he loved, and Yang Wu was a man of principles.


    The most promiscuous he had been before his prison sentence had been harmless flirting with his pretty maids. Other than stroking their petite hands, patting perky bums, and asionally stealing a sly glimpse of their voluptuous bosoms, he did not vite propriety.


    The young man took a moment to survey his surroundings; the other prisoners had already crawled into their hovels to rest, and the guards had finished their rounds. Under the moonless, pitch-dark sky, he could not even see his hand in front of his face. He knew no one would discover him if he trained in the dark shadows. Hence, he slid into the horse stance and wielded his crowbar as he practiced the Rainstorm Spear Art.


    The Rainstorm Spear Art was a Superior Grade Warrior ssbat technique, which consisted of five moves.


    Before Yang Wus imprisonment, he had trained with the five moves until he had reached the Proficient stage.


    A cultivators skill withbat techniques fell into one of four stages: Established, Proficient, Aplished, and Perfection.


    In the Established stage, cultivators were familiar with thebat techniques various moves and may perform them gracefully, yet they were far from unleashing the moves true might. Cultivators who were Proficient, however, were considered to have a solid understanding of the moves, able to exhibit a fraction of their might. Cultivators at the Aplished stage had a thorough grasp of the moves and could use them flexibly, chaining multiple moves together. The final stage, Perfection, was reached only when cultivators could use thebat techniques moves without inhibition, massively increasing their prowess in battle.


    Most cultivators easily reached the Established and Proficient stages, and those who became Aplished with a technique were usually quick learners and motivated to practice longer and harder. Only practitioners with extraordinaryprehension and the ability to derive elusive information could reach the Perfection stage. Abat techniques moves would vary in strength depending on how much of the move a cultivator understood.


    Yang Wu had practiced the Rainstorm Spear Art for several years, yet he had only be Proficient. The fact that he was now Aplished with the first two moves was incredible.


    Using the crowbar as he would a spear, Yang Wu brandished his weapon.


    Dark Clouds Covering the Sky.


    Arrows of Savage Rain.


    Rolling Thunder Shifting Winds.


    Torrential Downpour.


    Promised Rainbow.
