Bab 2316: 2316. In Her Head

"It's called the dragon blood root. It's a mutated ginger root which became scaly after we mixed in crushed earth crystals and flooded the area with water mana. The ginger changed, we think, awakening ancient aspects of itself."

"It turned red and the inside is mostly red liquid while the outside is scaly like a dragon's leg. As far as we can tell, if they remain in the right environment, they will reproduce and all be dragon blood roots. We can produce these fairly quickly, one can become five every three months as long as it gets enough nutrients and mana."

"The best part is, the red sap that comes out of it will start natural healing processes. Hence why we were able to relate it to the writings about how ginger used to be used as a cure all remedy. Nowadays it is just for cooking, teas, and other similar activities."
