Through his experience in the crypt, dealing with his past, his present, as well as recovering his future, bu fang gritted his way through, enduring misery and torture, both physical and mental. Through this experience, he developed a spice that makes one mind and body numb to its pain for a duration.
The spice was cooked, used to season a ball of noodle that is dry frozen. Biting into it, the crunch sounds akin to the breaking of bones, sending a rush of adrenaline through the body. The pain and stress of the situation becomes numb, yet it also focuses the mind. There's a strong burst of flavor that also relaxes the mind, it relaxes the body, allowing the mind and body to reach a synchronicity. This allows the body to almost reset in that moment, as the body reaches a almost ideal state.
Placed within a noodle cup, it seems almost infinite as you keep eating it. While not super filling nutrionally, it seems to allow you to remain focused without having to worry about the limit.
