Chapter 442 One Good News and One Bad News
Su Ning shuddered, almost dropping the pot handle.
The sound of stirring inside the wok continued.
Thinking of the classmates and teachers from various universities watching behind her, Su Ning focused on stir-frying the cabbage evenly.
As she looked at the golden, glistening stir-fried cabbage in the dish, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Successful.
Fortunately, she didn't embarrass herself. With so many people watching, if she had made a mistake, she would have been publicly shamed on the forum the next day.
Ye Yinqiu smiled and pressed herself against it, bringing her own bowl and chopsticks.
Meeting Ye Yinqiu's gaze, Su Ning immediately understood, and she handed the plate over:
"I've tried it before, and it tastes alright."
Su Ning learned about 60% of the technique, but she found it a bit difficult to get the cabbage flavor right. If she didn't control the heat properly, the final product would be slightly inferior, and the difference would add up to a greater degree.
"Then I won't be polite."
The bowl Ye Yinqiu brought was the large stainless steel basin that Wanjue Academy gave out when they recruited students. He rummaged through the food on the plate and emptied it in no time.
The bowl was large, but Ye Yinqiu's mouth was also large. In five minutes, the entire bowl of cabbage was devoured, leaving Su Ning completely stunned.
Not only Ye Yinqiu did this, but the cultivators who had spoken with Ye Yinqiu also brought a basin. Compared to Ye Yinqiu, they were relatively reserved. A pot of cabbage was exactly half the amount in the steel basin. They dug out half and left the other half.
The stir-fried cabbage with vinegar has a slightly sour taste at first, and the crisp sweetness of the cabbage combined with the lingering spiciness creates a multi-layered flavor that the monks who came to listen to the lecture couldn't get enough of.
Since the cultivators of Wanjue Academy had all turned into starving ghosts, the teachers from other academies were too embarrassed to compete with them. By the time the teachers approached, there wasn't even a scrap left; the food had been licked clean.
Hua Wuyue suddenly regretted that she should have gone up earlier.
Jiang He also saw this scene, and she took out the cabbage that the students had cooked at the beginning.
A row of small bowls of dishes were laid out. Qi Ming and Hua Wuyue were the first to pick up a piece with their chopsticks. Compared to the spiritual food refined by Jiang He, the cabbage refined by the students was inferior in taste and efficacy. However, the fact that Jiang He could refine spiritual food in a short time was a testament to her superb teaching ability.
As the viewers in the live stream watched, they suddenly felt a pang of envy. They regretted not being in the open class; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to watch and would have tasted it long ago.
What does it taste like? I'm so anxious!
The screen describes it as "crisp, tender, fragrant, sweet, sour, and spicy".
I really want to try it. Seriously, can't this "vinegar-braised cabbage" dish be sold?
No, it's definitely not possible. High-level alchemists are already rare, and spiritual food is generally only supplied to cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage or above. It's not something you or I can have.
Does anyone know what kind of pot they brought? I'm really tempted to eat from it! It looks like it would make the food taste so much better. Could you give me a link?
The StarNet user who spends their life searching for links, why don't you ask someone from Wanjue Academy? I see the Wanjue Academy logo engraved on it.
I'm from Wanjue Academy. This basin isn't for sale; it's a free gift if you get admitted to our academy. High school seniors watching this can pay attention. Every year, our admissions office comes to schools to promote our programs, and they'll mention things like "a free stainless steel basin upon enrollment." The conditions are actually quite simple: just apply to Wanjue and get admitted, and the basin will be free! Don't be fooled!
The way you're talking makes it sound like getting into the Wanjue Academy is so easy. Do you think I don't want to try? I can't get in!
Haha, everyone's been mocking Wanjue Academy lately, and then I saw this comment about giving away washbasins upon enrollment, and it suddenly reminded me of something. If it weren't for all the articles online criticizing Wanjue Academy, I would have almost forgotten that it's one of the top four prestigious universities in China.
Oh my god, I completely forgot. I joined in the cursing a few times before, and then I suddenly realized how shameless I was. I can't even get into Wanjue Academy. What was I thinking? How dare I curse Wanjue Academy? You really gave me a hard time.
Wow, you're really making fun of yourself like this! There's no need to be so self-deprecating.
Hahahaha, I'm so jealous! That's a really ruthless move of yours. You even got yourself into trouble just to criticize the haters.
I have a question. I was a little surprised that Jiang He is a high-level alchemist and can make spiritual food, but after thinking about it, I can accept it, for example, by explaining it as a special talent. But what about the alchemists at Wanjue Academy? Didn't they only enter Wanjue Academy this September?
Three months have passed already. Are they all as gifted as Jiang He, learning to refine spiritual food so quickly? Don't you find it strange? The fact that these cultivators from the Myriad Absolute Pill Cultivation Academy can refine spiritual food is what surprises me the most.
You probably don't understand the differences between alchemy cultivators, medical cultivators, weapon cultivators, and other cultivators. For example, alchemy cultivators and sword cultivators. Sword cultivators are more numerous. Whether it's the path to cultivation or the way to acquire sword techniques, as long as you have money or connections, you can get it. Even if you're a rogue cultivator, you can still obtain sword manuals through secret realms and by chance.
However, alchemy and medicine practitioners are extremely exclusive. Just like early cultivators, many alchemical and medical formulas are passed down through generations. You must enter a sect, become an apprentice, and receive the inheritance from the sect to obtain these secret manuals. It can be said that the inheritance of alchemy and medicine practitioners is exclusive.
But isn't cultivation about cultivating one's own path? Can't one create elixir formulas based on one's own enlightenment?
I know that. Don't even think about it with just your comprehension. Unless you're a once-in-a-century genius with exceptionally strong comprehension, ordinary cultivators shouldn't even consider it. Creating a pill formula out of thin air probably requires talent like Jiang He's.
Oh, is it that difficult?
Yes, that's right. So, if alchemists and healers want to break through or pursue long-term goals, they still need to join a sect. Recipes for things like spiritual food are considered sect secrets. I'm an alchemist myself, and I probably have to look up many of my recipes in tutorials, let alone spiritual recipes. Those require instruction. Jiang He can refine spiritual food and has taught so many alchemists. In this respect alone, Jiang He's talent is far more valuable than that of these alchemists.
Got it, got it. There are still more good people on the internet.
Wait a minute, friends, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?
Good news, I'm more optimistic.
The good news is that Wanjue Academy has launched a mini-program called "Joint Research and Development with Universities," where you can purchase products developed by universities. Currently, only Wanjue Academy is listed, and what's more, the product list includes "Stir-fried Cabbage with Vinegar"!
Wow, that's great news! But what's the bad news?
