Jiang Yu treated the three Disciples of Sanctus Medicus like thin air, paying no attention whatsoever to their thoughts or actions.
He pinched off a piece of the caramel-like kernel, tossed it into his mouth, and chewed it carefully. A rich, mellow sweetness exploded across his tongue. Jiang Yu pursed his lips, and his whole body shuddered.

No wonder Aha said to use this stuff to bake cookies, he thought. It's a little too sweet.
He had originally thought it was a kernel used for decoration, or perhaps ground up to replace some of the flour. Now, it seemed this stuff was supposed to replace sugar.
After one taste, Jiang Yu decided to put it away and leave it until he wanted to use it someday.
Still, he was Benbo'erba right now, after all, so he could not have Black Cleave help deliver it. He had to hold it in his arms for the time being.
In the dim space inside the headpiece, Jiang Yu's eyes gave off a faint glow. Something was changing.

Life sprouted, and plants began to grow. New shoots emerged from cracks in stone, and dead trees came back to life. They grew rapidly, meeting and intertwining, with a figure seated at their summit, eyes closed.
The figure had a puppet-like body, with antlers, draped in white gauze and wrapped in a Plain Robe. Six arms grew from its body, and fissures ran along its torso. Vermilion jade fruits served as its eyes, and unending life as its sinews.
[Ding! The host is drawing power from the Path of Abundance.] [Ding! Its route has been adjusted.]
