From the moment Anji embarked on her physical training journey with her elder sister, her body was a constant battleground of pain. Some mornings, the agony was so intense that she couldn't even muster the strength to sit up in bed, relying on the assistance of a servant. News of her struggles spread like wildfire within the Celestial Dragon Sect, prompting many disciples to offer her snacks or words of encouragement whenever they crossed paths. Even Zhao Wanting began preparing more tonics and soups for Anji, insisting that they were essential for her strength and growth.
Anji wasn't against drinking herbal tonic soups. However, she had many doubts about the weirder types of supplements like the gall bladder of snakes and ox tongue. How would those weird innards help her regain vitality? It was probably created by desperate superstitious peasants who did not want to waste food.
