Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 1893

Macon and Gregory stared wide-eyed at Lord Voodoo.

They finally understood why the Orleanians feared the Stargulf plant.

Nearly everyone in Orleans practiced the art of charms and curses which relied on cursed bugs. If the Stargulf plant was capable of consuming cursed bugs, then it was the Orleanians' biggest enemy.

It was understandable why the Orleanians wanted to exterminate the plant.

"In that case, why is the Stargulf plant so precious to you?" Gregory asked.

"That's because after the plant was exterminated, people began to realize the wondrous way it could be used," Lord Voodoo said quietly.

"What's that?" Macon quickly probed.

Lord Voodoo stared at the fruit in Macon's hands and carried on quietly, "After consuming cursed bugs, the Stargulf plant can use the vitality drawn from the bugs to form a fruit. The fruit will then contain all of the vitality that was sucked out of the cursed bugs."

Gregory glanced at the fruit. "How much vitality can cursed bugs have anyway?"

"You're right," Lord Voodoo said. "Most cursed bugs don't have much vitality in them. Before the Stargulf plant was pushed to the brink of extinction, some Orleanians ate the fruit as well. Not only did they not receive any benefit from it, but they also ended up consuming the poison from the plant. Quite a few of them died because of this. Therefore, the Orleanians thought that the Stargulf plant was just a useless, poisonous plant. That went on until an Orleanian stumbled across an unexpected find that led to him discovering the wondrous way to use the Stargulf plant."

Macon was getting impatient. "Just what on earth is this wondrous way of using it?"

Lord Voodoo hesitated for a moment before explaining quietly, "In Orleans, we have something called the Vitality Devourer Charm, and the Vitality Devourer Bugs used in that charm can devour a person's vitality. It is incredibly useful when used against martial arts practitioners as it can devour the fighter's vitality. The person will also lose all of his inner energy. If the Stargulf plant consumes Vitality Devourer Bugs, it means that it has also absorbed the martial arts practitioner's vitality. This means that the fruit of the Stargulf plant is like an elixir that contains a martial arts practitioner's vitality, and consuming the elixir will give you all of that person's inner energy!"

Macon and Gregory's jaws dropped.
