I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Chapter 600 The crime of having a jade

"That's strange. These cultivators from the Free and Unfettered Sect, right? Why are they only coming in at this hour?"

"I can't believe it," Jia Huaichuan murmured as he watched the alchemy room.

"She went to participate in the Poison Cultivator Ranking and the Healer Ranking, and she won't be back for a while."

Du Shuxing held a book in her hands, and after saying this, she turned the page.

Jia Huaichuan was used to Du Shuxing's constant presence with alchemy books, and he became a little curious about Jiang He. Everyone said that there was an empty alchemy room on this year's alchemy ranking list, so they didn't have to keep an eye on it.

Now that the cultivator assigned to this alchemy room has suddenly arrived, Jia Huaichuan naturally has a lot of questions. He hasn't paid much attention to things on the Star Network and has been staying in the judges' area, so he doesn't know that Jiang He participated in the six Heroes Rankings.

Jia Huaichuan turned around and looked at Dan Xiuwen, who was with them:

"This cultivator participated in both rankings? Including the alchemy ranking, he's registered for three rankings. His energy is just too much."

Wen Yin was always smiling. He had a round face and no black hair on his head. He was not only a Taoist alchemist but also a Buddhist practitioner.

At this moment, Moon Yin sat in a chair, his hands clasped with Buddhist prayer beads, as if Maitreya Buddha had stepped out of a painting:

“This child not only signed up for these three lists, but he also topped the list for sword cultivators and magic cultivators, and he also participated in the list for outstanding agricultural cultivators.”

"Wen Yin, are you kidding me? Sixth list?"

“It’s the sixth list. Originally, the Medical Cultivator list could also be number one, but as you know, An Li is insatiable. The number one spot on the Medical Cultivator list belongs to someone else.” Du Shuxing still didn’t close the book, she said as she read.

"There's still this thing."

Jia Huaichuan felt that he had missed a lot of things while working hard these past few days. He took out his personal computer and logged into a social platform that he hadn't used for many years. He tried the password several times but it was wrong. After resetting it, he finally logged into the StarNet.

News of various sect competitions flashed across the StarNet, with the topic of the medical cultivation ranking scandal still trending high.

Jia Huaichuan also saw news about the Lingyun Sect.

I never expected so many things to happen during this sect competition.

After eating some melon, Jia Huaichuan turned his attention back to the alchemy room.

He looked at the screen for a while, then paused:

"Hongmu, she's still cleaning the alchemy furnace? It's not even dirty, why has she been cleaning it for so long?"

Qian Zhi glanced at the cultivator on the screen as he passed by, somewhat speechless:

"This cultivator from the Free and Unfettered Sect is so careless, treating the alchemy room like his own home. He's fallen behind for so long and hasn't even started refining pills yet, instead of doing all this useless work."

Qian Zhi entered Lingyun Sect from Lingqing Academy and rose through the ranks. In this year's sect competition, he used connections to get into the judging panel of the Medical Cultivation Ranking.

He had strong opinions about Jiang He every time he passed by the screen where Jiang He's alchemy room was located:

"She has an ice spirit root, no fire, and can't refine pills. Now it seems that my idea has been confirmed. She's been dawdling for a long time without starting to refine pills. It seems that this person never intended to refine pills at all."

Before Jia Huaichuan could speak, Qian Zhi started rambling on again:

"To participate in the ranking of alchemy practitioners without practicing alchemy is to be too passive."

Qian Zhi talked for a long time, saying all the bad things about him.

Jia Huaichuan didn't get a word in edgewise. He wasn't familiar with Qian Zhi, who had temporarily joined the judging panel this year. He didn't even know who Jiang He was, let alone her spiritual root.

Upon hearing this, he turned his back to Qian Zhi again. Jia Huaichuan did not reply. He knew a little about Qian Zhi's alchemy skills; they weren't very good.

The atmosphere among the four returned to silence. Seeing that no one paid any attention to him, Qian Zhi left the screen and went to the location of the alchemist from Lingyun Sect.

Jia Huaichuan continued to watch Jiang He's movements intently in the alchemy room until she placed all the spiritual plants from her mustard seed pouch on the table.

Jia Huaichuan was taken aback. He squinted, trying to make out the various spiritual plants on the table, but after looking for a long time until his eyes were tired, he still couldn't recognize them.

"Wen Yin, come and see what these spiritual plants are. I can't recognize them."

Jia Huaichuan carefully put on his glasses and looked for a long time, but still couldn't recognize him.

The spiritual plants that Jiang He took out were red and green, and their colors were quite vibrant.

The spiritual energy detector next to it also detected a large amount of spiritual energy fluctuations.

The other two alchemists in front of the screen, like Jia Huaichuan, were all looking at the spiritual plants on the table.

Du Shuxing suddenly put down his book and fell into deep thought.

After asking Wen Yin, Jia Huaichuan planned to ask Du Shuxing.

Du Shuxing was well-read and could recognize most of the books.

Jia Huaichuan had not expected that Du Shuxing would observe things so meticulously.

This was the first time he had seen Du Shuxing not doing anything while reading the cinnabar book. Du Shuxing's expression was solemn, as if he was recalling something.

Wen Yin gazed at it for a long time, his words tinged with hesitation:

Is it a tomato?

Du Shuxing, who had remained silent, nodded slightly. She recalled the spiritual plant that Jiang He had taken out from the medical cultivation ranking list earlier, and after comparing it several times, confirmed that it matched:

"Yes, the Imperial Spirit Plant Research Institute has been inquiring about this spirit plant from us these past few days. We never expected it to appear again today. Judging from the number of spirit plant fruits on the table, we can confirm that Hongmu probably has a spirit field with tomato spirit plants."

"I hope so. The sudden appearance of extinct spiritual plants is neither a good thing nor a bad thing."

The conversation between Du Shuxing and Wen Yin, which Jia Huaichuan overheard, was even more shocking:

"What bad news? That was an extinct spiritual plant. Its revival is naturally a good thing!"

Du Shuxing remained silent, but instead of picking up the Dan Shu again, he focused on looking at Jiang He.

Wen Yin shook his head: "Possessing a treasure is a crime."

Jia Huaichuan involuntarily added the first half of the sentence: "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime; this is indeed not a good thing."

Jia Huaichuan is a pill refiner, and many of the spiritual plants he knows are in herbal form. Among his pill refining materials, most of the top-grade spiritual plants are precious. Tomatoes have been extinct for thousands of years, and he only knows about them from some ancient pill books and university textbooks. As for the others, Jia Huaichuan can't remember them at all, so he didn't recognize the spiritual plant that Jiang He took out for the time being.

He went to the StarNet and searched extensively. He looked at the information about tomato spiritual plants that netizens had found. For the spiritual plants he didn't recognize, he searched for their key characteristics on specialized medical or agricultural websites, such as those for alchemy and medicine. And he actually found relevant pictures and videos of the spiritual plants.

On the life-sized screen in front of Jia Huaichuan were information on extinct spiritual plants.

He swallowed hard, his eyes darting back and forth between the spiritual plants on the table and the virtual screen.

Finally, he read out the names of the spiritual plants that he hadn't recognized before:

"Tomatoes, enoki mushrooms, radishes..."
