The Blood Replenishing Soup, warm and nourishing, cultivated the vital energy and blood. It was an upper-class prescription.
Before Martial Artists reached Energy Transformation, the most important thing was to cultivate blood and replenish energy. Achieving abundant energy and blood with a body as strong as pine was the standard of a Refining Body Martial Artist.
To achieve abundant energy and blood with a body as strong as pine, many conditions were necessary.
But in summary, one could not do without training and supplementation.
Training was easy to understand: tempering the body and honing the energy and blood.
But supplementation was equally important. If one only trained without supplementing, the result would be a deficiency of energy and blood, which could damage the foundation.
People often said that literature was for the poor, while martial arts were for the wealthy. The wealth in martial arts meant that during martial training, they must keep up with supplements.
