[I should be fine...just going to need a bath and a nap after this.]

As a former avid reader of cultivation novels and comics, Zhen Liu was fairly familiar with the age old trope of protagonist devouring questionably powerful sources of energy in order to enhance their cultivation.

From a certain alchemist that devoured flames born from the creation of the universe to a plucky punk with a wolf-life libido that stole concentrated Earth Essence from under the nose of dragons, Zhen Liu had read up on all sorts of stories on how these protagonists made use of all sorts of drugs, weird abilities and straight up gumption to absorb the energy of the universe and become insane powerhouses of cultivation. And now he was joining those ranks.
