This stretch of yellow earth rose over a zhang high, bare and barren, without even a blade of weed. It looked like an abandoned place.
Yet this yellow earthen slope was itself a divine medicine.
"I never expected this opening to contain such a divine medicine."
Once any divine medicine was consumed too often, its effects would steadily diminish—what was known as drug resistance.
Even a divine medicine like the Life-Bestowing Fruit, which could only restore the body, would gradually heal severe injuries more slowly if consumed in excess.
This divine medicine, called Ancient Native Soil, possessed a miraculous effect: it could counteract drug resistance.
It was of little use below the Half-Sage realm, since they could not consume many divine medicines in the first place. But it was immensely useful to the saints, because after they had eaten all manner of divine medicines and fruits, even their powerful bodies could develop drug resistance.
