What kind of reaction would a normal person have after consuming a hundred-year-old ginseng?

Those who are physically stronger might experience a severe nosebleed, while those with weaker constitutions could even suffer from a burst blood vessel from being "over-nourished"...

And a hundred-year-old ginseng is just an ordinary herb compared with the Golden Dragon Birth, which is not on the same level at all. I estimate that a single drop of the Golden Dragon Birth could equal the medicinal effects of several dozen hundred-year-old ginsengs.

At least Qin Fang was certain that consuming a hundred-year-old ginseng would at best replenish his health, and wouldn't cause him any damage.

However, even a tiny drop of the Golden Dragon Birth was something he dared not try so casually...

He was not afraid of bodily reconstitution and strengthening, what truly scared him was the possibility of over-nourishing himself and exploding to death. The Inner Breath he cultivated was also a form of energy.

It was said that by cultivating this energy to the highest realm, one could transform acquired breath into innate breath. This energy would also transform from elemental energy into Spiritual Energy...

This was a qualitative change!

But the energy contained within this Spiritual Medicine was not ordinary medicinal power, it was precisely the Spiritual Energy that martial artists desperately sought!

So the sudden increase in internal strength from consuming Genius Earth Treasures as described in novels is indeed true, except that these treasures contain Spiritual Energy within the Spiritual Medicine...

The consumer is not ingesting medicine, but a completely transformed Spiritual Energy, and though the actual amount of Spiritual Energy absorbed may be minimal, it is still enough to dramatically enlarge one's Inner Breath to an alarming degree.

The Golden Dragon Birth before him was such a Spiritual Medicine. Tomb Robbers had found that this "Corpse Oil" could enhance human bodies by tenfold, likely based on a similar principle.

However, Qin Fang vaguely guessed that things were probably not so simple...

Why would Tomb Robbers, knowing this, choose to sell it instead of secretly creating more powerful fighters? Apart from the crime of possessing a valued treasure, the main reason might be that no one could withstand the process, dying from bodily explosion.

Though the profession of Tomb Robbers is despised, it remains a skilled trade, and training a good Touch Gold Colonel is not an easy task. Though accidents and deaths are common during tomb raiding, dying so pointlessly would be far too tragic.

Instead of letting so many of their own die in vain, it was better to sell this thing. After all, falling into the hands of a major force in the Underground World who don't care about human life at all, the Black Fist Alliance sees hundreds of boxers killed daily.

If those who were disposed of were used as experimental lab rats, the success of even one would mean a huge profit.

A normal boxer enhanced tenfold could definitely become comparable to the Undefeated Fist King... As for fierce fighters like Explosive Bear Locke, if his body were enhanced tenfold, Qin Fang wouldn't dream of killing him, suspecting that he could be shattered entirely just from a slap.

If the Tomb Robbers understood this, how could Qin Fang not?

Even with his robust body, he did not dare to try it lightly. Su Xiaoxiao's frail frame... slightly stronger than an average woman but at best just an ordinary man's level, how could she possibly withstand such an intense strengthening?

"Ah... I see!"

Hearing Qin Fang's brief explanation about the possible outcome, Su Xiaoxiao's brow also furrowed, evidently harboring considerable concerns.

On the one hand, she was reluctant to let such a treasure sit untouched and unused, feeling it a profound loss, on the other, she worried that consuming it might end her life, which was certainly not worth it.

It was a contradictory proposition that twisted Su Xiaoxiao's heart in knots.

"Isn't there another way? Like, if I diluted it before drinking?"

Asking Su Xiaoxiao to simply give up on such a good thing was impossible. With furrowed brows, she tentatively asked, full of apprehension.

"I really don't know..."

Qin Fang could only offer a wry smile, as even he did not know the extent of the power of the Golden Dragon Birth.

It might not be as terrifying as he imagined, or it could be even more horrifying than his expectations...

As for diluting it, it was unknown how much dilution would be appropriate, another uncertainty... Not to mention, it was hard to say whether such Spiritual Medicine could even dissolve in water.

"What if... you try it first?"

Su Xiaoxiao's delicate face twisted completely, which had its own charm. But coupled with the words she uttered, Qin Fang was stunned for a moment.

Not willing to risk the potential side effects herself, she pushed Qin Fang forward as the lab rat, following the principle of not letting a comrade die if one could survive.

"Me? I'm certainly going to try it... but aren't you afraid that if I consume this medicine and become ten times stronger, I might go berserk? With your tiny frame, you could be torn to shreds!"

Under excruciating pain, everyone needs to vent somehow, and Qin Fang was no exception. The explosive power of the spiritual medicine was absolutely terrifying. Although Qin Fang could regenerate blood to keep from dying, he couldn't be immune to the agony; in such severe pain, it was doubtful if he could stay conscious…

Making a mess in the presidential suite didn't matter much; he could order the puppet person to restrict his movements. Even if his strength were enhanced tenfold, he couldn't possibly destroy the puppet person. As for Su Xiaoxiao… That was harder to guarantee, since the puppet person wouldn't care about her life or death.

"Ah… This won't work, that won't work… It's killing me!"

Looking at Qin Fang's robust frame, although she didn't know what his face was like, his skeletal structure was obvious. Her delicate build was just not on the same level. She guessed that even if Su Xiaoxiao were ten times stronger, she might still not be as strong as Qin Fang now…

Qin Fang could only express his inability to help. He, on the other hand, stood in front of the puppet person, meticulously pondering the use of Golden Dragon Birth.

What exactly was the difference between spiritual medicine and ordinary herbs? Qin Fang wasn't very clear; Golden Dragon Birth looked no different from an ordinary liquid, without any distinct smell. If it weren't for his Scouting Skill, he wouldn't have known that this was a rare superb spiritual medicine.

Having such an exquisite spiritual medicine in hand, it would be against Qin Fang's wishes not to give it a try. A tenfold strength enhancement… If it really had that effect, he wouldn't even be afraid of bullets!

At that level, unless someone used bombs, missiles or specially made sniper bullets on him, it would indeed be very difficult to kill him…

With this in mind, Qin Fang glanced at the remaining baozi in his Props Box. Most of them had been consumed by the puppet person, leaving just over two sets. Based on his current 49 Life Points, he had enough for more than a dozen deaths and revivals.

"I can't hold back any longer, I'm going all out…"

Su Xiaoxiao was indecisive and could not make up her mind. Then, seeing how Qin Fang was, she didn't know if it was a rush of blood to the head or if she couldn't resist the temptation, but she went right next to the puppet person, scratched off a tiny bit of Golden Dragon Birth with her little fingernail, and immediately sent it to her mouth…

Qin Fang hadn't expected Su Xiaoxiao to be so fierce, and it was too late to stop her. He just watched as she swallowed the Golden Dragon Birth with her saliva.

"Are you crazy…"

Qin Fang was truly speechless and scolded her rather harshly. He then had a dozen silver needles appear in his hand, and his hands moved rapidly, inserting the silver needles into a dozen of Su Xiaoxiao's important acupoints as quickly as possible.

These acupoints were for life-saving purposes. If the potency of the Golden Dragon Birth was too strong and Su Xiaoxiao couldn't handle it, as long as those acupoints were sealed, there was still a chance to save her…

Although Su Xiaoxiao wondered why Qin Fang was doing this, seeing the anxious expression on his face, she knew it was for her good and didn't say much, quietly waiting for the medicine to take effect…

But a minute passed, and nothing happened!

Two minutes passed, and still nothing happened!

Three minutes…

Five minutes…

"Eh, there's nothing wrong…"

Su Xiaoxiao was incredibly frustrated, having wrestled with the decision for so long, mustering courage on impulse, and in the end, nothing happened.

The so-called tenfold enhancement of her body… didn't happen at all!

Of course, no danger surfaced either…

"You're pulling my leg, right…"

At this time, Su Xiaoxiao looked at Qin Fang as if it were he who had made up the liquid as a very rare herb, akin to something like Thousand Year Ganoderma or the ten-thousand-year ginseng king from novels, but it turned out not to be the case at all… She was just scaring herself, worried for nothing.

"How can this be?"

Qin Fang was also quite surprised; the Golden Dragon Birth was indeed superb spiritual medicine, so why was there no reaction at all?

"Could it be that it's too old and the spiritual energy has dissipated?"

"That's not right either. If it had really lost its efficacy, how would those tomb robbers know that Golden Dragon Birth could enhance the body tenfold…"

"Maybe the dosage was too small?"

Thinking this, Qin Fang couldn't just speculate on the reasons. He immediately scooped up a little bit of Golden Dragon Birth and put it in his mouth to taste.

His dose was somewhat more than what Su Xiaoxiao had taken, roughly three or four times more. With his physical strength, such a dose wasn't too outrageous.

As soon as the Golden Dragon Birth entered his mouth, before Qin Fang could taste anything, he felt a wave of coolness invade his mouth in an instant, and then it spread toward his stomach…

This coolness wasn't transmitted along the esophagus, but spread throughout, virtually reaching every corner of his body in a very short time. Every cell, every pore, even every tiny blood vessel… made Qin Fang feel as though he was immersed in an extremely profound realm. (To be continued.
