Gulp!
Liang Qu sat cross-legged, tilting his head back to swallow the pill. The entire Beast Head Great Pill was extremely heavy as it tumbled down the esophagus into his stomach.
It was a bit stuck in his throat.
The pill, as large as an eyeball, was hard to swallow without chewing, causing a choking sensation in his belly.
Liang Qu swallowed twice to ease the discomfort, then gathered his energy and calmed his spirit to circulate his Cultivation Technique.
Initially, the Great Pill showed little activity once it entered the belly, but approximately after the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, gastric juice began to erode the pill. Its medicinal power slowly spread, sending a warm sensation that infused the heart and seeped into the limbs and bones.
Liang Qu had only eaten dinner the night before the action and had not eaten since.
