I don’t even think the traditional aspect of it is what’s throwing me tbh people been ingesting anything since the dawn of time it’s the concept of his little brother leaving behind? Presumably? His penis? The optics are confusing and it feels like such a strange momento like what happened to leaving a necklace or a drawing or something also HOW???? HOW DID HE LEAVE HIS PENIS?
I think it was a snake penis he left behind, not his own actual penis lmaooo
HSBSNSNND OMG that would make so much more sense I was reading it as his penis, and since he’s a dragon I was thinking that’s what gave it all the magical properties LMAO
So the only way I can explain it is Chinese traditional medicine. Throughout history, they’ve used some rather…morally questionable ingredients to make tonics
It’s the same thing with using a bull p*nis to make medicine, that’s all I can say lmaooo. But I know from reading Chinese novels that they find a snake p*nis or their gallbladder (maybe? Maybe not gallbladder, but they use it for some other stuff) to be used in “getting it up” or having a higher libido.
I don’t know if it’s true or not tho ╮(￣▽￣)╭
