The Wasteland World - Cultivation

"What are you doing?" Asked Daniel to the seemingly busy middle aged woman.

Without looking back at him, the woman said "Preparing some detoxifying powder."

"What is that?"

"It slows the contamination of our bodies.. If we use this, we are able to absorb more of the natural power of what we eat.. And less contamination." Responded the woman with a matter-of-fact tone.

"What do you use to make it?" Asked Daniel with curiosity.

"It's a mix we make from contaminated plants and the parts of the boies of the monsters which contain the least power of contamination." Responded the woman, now slightly irritated by Daniel's distracting questions.

Daniel observed the entire process, and after only seeing it once, he memorized it.

What he had understood from observing this process, was that the corrupted living items would retain a small bit of life essence. This life essence was protected from corruption by none other than death itself.
