1614 Ice and Fire (1/2)
”Fiery lotus roots keep growing every day in this magma lake. Therefore, its quantity is rising. If you need it, as long as you input sufficient aura value and moral value, I could increase the number of fiery lotus roots by two times within a short period. Even now the number of fiery lotus roots have already surpassed your absorptive capacity as a shadow knight!”
”You mean I couldn't eat all of them?”
”Of course, fiery lotus root is the most powerful medicine to a certain degree. Nobody could eat them limitlessly. Due to the difference in physical condition, cultivation method, spiritual energy and level, knights would see different capacities in absorbing fiery lotus roots!”
Zhang Tie nodded as he said, ”I see. How do I eat them? Soak them in liquor like seeds of the fiery lotus?”
”No!” Heller shook his head as he explained, ”If you insist on taking them in that way, you could absorb them well for real; in fact, if you want fiery lotus roots to play its effect to the utmost, you have to take them in a special environment!”
”A special environment?”
”Yup, you should freeze and soften these fiery lotus roots in an environment under minus 100 degrees Celcius before consuming them!”
”Under minus 100 degrees Celcius?”
”You bet. In natural environments such as underground world or where fiery lotus grows, when these fiery lotus roots are picked, they always carry the best effect. However, you couldn't eat them right away when they're so hot; whereas, you couldn't find such a cold environment to take them so as to absorb their effect to the utmost. After being picked, if these fiery lotus roots could enter a super low temperature within a short period, their essence would not escape and one could absorb them easily and gain a great effect! To be honest, Castle Lord's master might have taken some fiery lotus roots somewhere; however, the environment where he took them was not perfect. As a result, a greater part of the effect of those fiery lotus roots that he had taken was wasted...”
”Don't I worry about this issue?”
”Sure thing. Castle of Black Iron could provide the best environment for Castle Lord. Therefore, Castle Lord could play the effect of fiery lotus roots to the utmost and absorb them well. As to how many could you take, it depends on you.” Heller said confidently.
Zhang Tie didn't worry about it for real because he had long got a super large freezer for storing food in Castle of Black Iron. He even froze the flesh of the huge deep sea monster there. The temperature in that freezer was fully under Heller's control. He could have Heller adjust its temperature for free. What was more, the freezer was right above this karst cave. It was just a few minutes' walk from here. If he ran or move using his ability as a divine dominator, Zhang Tie could move faster.
Zhang Tie sighed, and said, ”I've not imagined that a fiery lotus root would play its utmost effect at such a low temperature!”
