Li Hongfang had been staring at those trees, calculating how much vital essence could be extracted from them and what they might be worth. Hearing Liu Chang'an's words, she could not help being startled. "What is a super life-form? A super life-form can infuse vital essence into other life-forms? Does 'infuse' here mean something like the dual cultivation commonly seen in wuxia and immortal cultivation stories? So vital essence is actually that stuff? Why call it infusion? Because there's a lot of it? How much? Like turning on a faucet? Or like opening a dam's floodgates?" Li Hongfang immediately grasped the idea with excitement.
Liu Chang'an frowned. Couldn't this Li Hongfang speak a little more elegantly, a little more tactfully, with a little more refinement like him?
What faucets and dam floodgates? Only a Dragon King could be described that way, when a Dragon King sprayed water. Ordinary super life-forms were only "super" compared to ordinary creatures. How could they possibly pour out vital essence so extravagantly?
Like the dragon Liu Chang'an had seen in Antarctica not long ago, condensed from the life force of Antarctica and its surrounding seas. Only if the seawater it carried came pouring down could vital essence be mixed into the water like a dam releasing a flood.

"You can think of super life-forms as especially nutritious ingredients. Like these trees, they can be used to make soup
