Fierce Beast and Sha Qi

Jiang Yuan, who had just begun to handle Human Race affairs, couldn't help but lose his composure upon seeing the situation reported to him.

No one had ever told him that prolonged, large-scale consumption of Fierce Beast meat would lead to Sha Qi poisoning.

"That's right, Fierce Beast meat is indeed good, its flesh and blood contain a large amount of Innate Vitality, and consuming it can boost cultivation."

"But correspondingly, besides the Innate Vitality, a small amount of Sha Qi is also mixed in its flesh and blood, so it cannot be eaten in excess."

"If consumed in small quantities, the Sha Qi absorbed by the body is not much and can be easily digested."

"However, once a large amount of Fierce Beast meat is consumed, causing the Sha Qi absorbed by the body to exceed its digestive capacity, it will lead to Sha Qi poisoning."

The subordinate explained.

"Troublesome!"

Jiang Yuan said with a headache. Sha Qi is a power with properties completely opposite to spiritual energy, possessing extreme corrosiveness, making both heaven and earth, as well as all living beings, shun it.

Between heaven and earth, Sha Qi can destroy spiritual meridians, pollute the environment, and erode blessed lands into desolate, lifeless wastes.

For living beings, Sha Qi can corrupt the physical body, erode the soul, and turn them into mindless Fierce Beasts.

Therefore, Sha Qi poisoning is quite serious. If left untreated, under the erosion of Sha Qi, the poisoned person will completely lose their sanity and turn into a humanoid Fierce Beast that only knows how to kill.

But this was not the most troublesome part. The most troublesome part was, if anyone ate Fierce Beast meat, who could possibly eat more than Jiang Yuan? After all, his current cultivation was basically achieved by eating Fierce Beast meat.

If that's the case, had he already been poisoned by Sha Qi without realizing it?

"In the past, when such a situation occurred, how was it resolved?"

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath, suppressing the doubts in his heart. Now was not the time to examine his body; the priority was to resolve the problem.

"In the past, our Human Race didn't have such conditions. It was already good enough to eat Fierce Beast meat. How could we be so affluent as to be poisoned by eating Fierce Beast meat?"

Hearing Jiang Yuan's question, the subordinate said helplessly. If he had any experience in dealing with this matter, he would have resolved it himself and wouldn't need to report it.

"Ah, this..."

Jiang Yuan was stunned. He hadn't expected the Human Race to encounter the problem of sudden wealth. Major races have experience; they know to stop at the right time when eating Fierce Beast meat and don't consume it to the point of Sha Qi poisoning.

Only the Human Race, being suddenly wealthy, lacked the corresponding experience and couldn't grasp the proper measure, thus eating excessively and leading to Sha Qi poisoning.

"Go and ask. The powerful races also developed from weaker ones. In their early stages, they must have encountered the same problems as our Human Race now."

"But they persevered, which means they must have mastered the Method to Resolve Sha."

Jiang Yuan commanded. With his abilities, it wasn't difficult to resolve Sha Qi for the poisoned individuals, but this method only treated the symptoms, not the root cause. There were too many people, and he simply couldn't treat them all.

What is Fierce Beast meat? It is a spiritual medicine, a spiritual stone, and an indispensable resource for improving cultivation.

If the Human Race wants to become strong quickly, they cannot eat Fierce Beast meat step by step; they must consume it in large quantities for a long time.

However, in this situation, a large number of clan members would inevitably suffer from Sha Qi poisoning. Under these circumstances, the Human Race must master the Method to Resolve Sha.

Otherwise, the Human Race's higher-ups couldn't just do nothing and be solely responsible for resolving Sha Qi for the poisoned clan members, right? This was clearly impossible!

"Yes!"

The subordinate thought it made sense and nodded excitedly before running off to inquire.

As soon as he left, Jiang Yuan circulated his cultivation technique, repeatedly examining his body, wanting to see if he had also been poisoned by Sha Qi.

The bad news was that there was indeed Sha Qi in his body.

The good news was that this Sha Qi seemed to have been refined by him. It was not only harmless to his body but also gathered together, showing a tendency to form a Killing Divine Ability.

"As expected of an supreme scripture that directly points to the path of Hunyuan, the Creation Scripture is truly overbearing, even refining Sha Qi."

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan was relieved. He had underestimated the Creation Scripture. Mere Sha Qi had no chance to act presumptuously; after entering his body, it was still a tonic.

Jiang Yuan was fine, but the Human Race's problem remained unresolved. Without the Method to Resolve Sha, the Human Race could not fully utilize Fierce Beast meat, thus delaying their development speed.

"Fierce Beasts are formed from the flesh and blood of Chaos Demon Gods, and Sha Qi is precisely the mark of Chaos Demon Gods."

Thinking of the origin of Fierce Beasts, Jiang Yuan vaguely had a clue and knew which direction to research the Method to Resolve Sha.

The purpose of the Chaos Demon Gods in creating Fierce Beasts was to seek revenge and have them destroy the Primordial World. Therefore, when creating Fierce Beasts, they infused them with Sha Qi.

This was necessary because, without it, Fierce Beasts, with their abundant Innate Vitality, would not be a disaster for the beings of the Primordial World but walking elixirs.

Without Sha Qi, no matter how strong Fierce Beasts were, the beings of the Primordial World could have eaten them to extinction.

But with Sha Qi added, the beings of the Primordial World feared being assimilated by them if they ate too much Fierce Beast meat, and thus became extremely wary of them, not daring to provoke them easily, allowing them to run rampant.

Very well, the Chaos Demon Gods' train of thought has been figured out. Next, it's time to figure out the train of thought of Great God Pangu.

Great God Pangu was definitely stronger than the Chaos Demon Gods, this was beyond doubt. Then, facing the Chaos Demon Gods' posthumous arrangements, with Fierce Beasts destroying heaven and earth, Great God Pangu must have also left behind corresponding countermeasures.

And this countermeasure should not be difficult to find; it should be as common as Fierce Beasts, or perhaps even near them. Only in this way could the problem of Fierce Beasts be effectively resolved.

If one couldn't find a solution after searching for a long time, wouldn't that mean Great God Pangu was inferior to the Chaos Demon Gods? This was absolutely impossible.

"All things generate and overcome each other; there must be an antidote within three steps. The method to resolve Fierce Beasts should be the same."

Before the subordinate could gather any news, Jiang Yuan himself found a clue to the Method to Resolve Sha. Then, he intended to head towards the vicinity of the Fierce Beasts' habitat to see if there was anything special.

But just then, the person who had gone to inquire returned.

"So fast?" Jiang Yuan was startled and quickly asked, "Did you find out anything?"

"I did. There are quite a few methods to resolve Sha. The simplest way is to roast the fierce beast meat before eating it. This will cause most of the Sha Qi to dissipate, thereby reducing the risk of poisoning."

"If you're already poisoned, you can take several common spiritual herbs. They will slowly dissolve the Sha Qi in your body."

The man said excitedly. He hadn't expected this trip to be so smooth; he could find out several methods to resolve Sha just by asking anyone.

"That simple? It seems my guess was correct."

Jiang Yuan understood. He had guessed right.

Methods to resolve Sha should be common and not secrets. That's why this person found out without paying anything. If it were a secret method, how could an outsider easily tell him without the Human Race offering a substantial price?

"Which spiritual herbs did he mention? Let me see if there are any near the Human Race."

Snapping back to reality, Jiang Yuan asked.

Actually, it wasn't important anymore. After confirming his line of thought was correct, even if he didn't know what those spiritual herbs were, he could quickly figure them out.
