Chapter 437 Pills should look like pills

The time from when the spirit was implanted into the pot to when the stir-fried cabbage with vinegar was very short. When the camera zoomed in, what was presented to all the alchemists was not the distinct pills they were familiar with, but rather a dish.

Instantly, a murmur rippled through the audience.

"what is this?"

"A medicinal pill should look like a medicinal pill. This dish doesn't look like a medicinal pill at all; it's just a simple boiled-up spiritual plant."

"Indeed, I thought it would be much more difficult, but it took so long to finally produce this thing."

"Haha, I knew it. I was wondering before that Jiang He only took a year to go from a junior alchemist to a senior alchemist. Such a leap could only be due to someone with exceptional talent. But now that I see it, I was wrong."

"I didn't see any talent, but I did see a plate of unrefined spiritual plants. It must be marketing that fooled so many of us, haha."

With an expression of worldly wisdom, Qian Zhi began to offer his commentary in a serious manner:

"If this spiritual plant were successfully refined, it wouldn't look like this. With the alchemy furnace and spiritual fire, in a delicate balance, the spiritual plant would transform into spiritual water and eventually merge with it, and the elements would also recombine—that's the source of the elixir. But this…"

He gave Jiang He a meaningful look:

"This isn't even a pill. It's destroyed the spiritual energy that the plant originally stored. Are you deliberately making us identify pills because you think we're just beginners? I can tell you, your pill refining is a complete failure!"

Qian Zhi's voice was loud and clear, his questioning directed directly at Jiang He.

Besides him, several other alchemists from Mingyue Academy examined the spiritual plants displayed on the plate with disdain.

After Qian Zhicai finished speaking, many people echoed his words, while some alchemists who had previously raised strong objections remained silent.

Qian Zhi was so engrossed in embarrassing Jiang He that he didn't notice the expressions of many others.

Whether they were alchemists from Jingxu Academy or Xiling Academy, they all stared intently at the dishes produced in the alchemy pot.

Jiang He stir-fried a large pot of vegetables.

She wiped her hands, ignoring everyone's questions, and instead looked at the several high-level alchemists in the seating area:

"Stir-fried cabbage with vinegar has the effect of restoring spiritual energy; you can all give it a try."

Jiang He did not avoid it; she stretched out her arm, her five fingers slightly together, palm facing upwards:

"please."

The moment the stir-fried cabbage with vinegar was taken out of the wok, the aroma of the wok filled the entire classroom.

Even after eating stir-fried cabbage with vinegar for half a semester, Su Ning finally realized that it was still the cabbage made by Senior Sister Jiang that was most effective. Su Ning wished she could immediately raise her hand and go up to grab the big bowl and devour it.

It's a pity that this opportunity went to alchemists from other academies. Sigh, I really hope they can save face and eat less, leaving her even a scrap.

The cultivators auditing classes at Wanjue Academy didn't even have the same treatment as those attending classes at Danxiu Academy, and they had never even tasted this dish.

Stir-fried cabbage with vinegar is an explosive attraction for them. Just looking at the tender and juicy cabbage and smelling it, they can imagine how delicious it is.

These cultivators knew nothing about alchemy. They were looking at the cabbage like it was gold, their mouths watering.

They didn't care about the efficacy of the elixir; they were just greedy.

Some cultivators even automatically follow the food with their eyes. It's not about whether it's a pill or not; spiritual plants grow to be eaten, so they don't care about their form.

anyway.

So, can we at least give them a bite? Just one bite.

I'd die for it!

The students below the stage had their eyes shining, while the alchemists themselves hesitated.

The viewers in the live stream were clearly divided into two camps: one side sided with Qian Zhi, while the other was completely captivated by the aroma of the stir-fried cabbage. In their minds, reason and smell were locked in a battle, with smell ultimately overwhelming reason.

Goodness, when the aroma came out, I was actually quite excited. But now, looking at this "elixir," all I can say is, well, without a solid foundation of knowledge, don't embarrass yourself. Seriously, go back and study some advanced techniques. This isn't even the proper procedure for alchemy.

Agreed. I was wondering what the nutrient solution was for, but then I discovered that the more Jiang He added, the stronger the flavor became. Turns out it was just to mask the fact that she wasn't skilled in alchemy.

The finished product is really disappointing. Even as a novice alchemist, I know this isn't a pill. It's just stir-fried spiritual plants and plated. You might think it has some spiritual energy, but the key point is that sometimes just eating spiritual herbs that can replenish spiritual energy has the same effect. So, would you call this a spirit-restoring pill?

How careless! The smell is nice, but it's clearly not a pill. Where did Wanjue Academy find these alchemists? This is so unprofessional!

Jiang He was originally a student of Wan Jue Academy. How can you expect her to compare with a senior alchemist with over ten years of experience? Hahaha, to be honest, you can't fool an idiot like this. It seems the previous speculation that Jiang He had connections and came to Wan Jue Academy to gain experience was true. They're treating us viewers like monsters!

But don't you think the smell is incredibly addictive, and the color is beautiful too? I'm not a cultivator and don't know anything about these things, but my sense of smell doesn't lie; it really smells amazing.

I'm not a cultivator either, but I really want to eat it. It smells so good it's making my heart ache. I'll say it again, buy it from the link above. I'd pay 20 star coins for it.

20 Star Coins? That's really rich!

Now that you mention it, I suddenly thought of a shop.

I feel like we're thinking of the same shop.

What shop? It's like a riddle.

The shop name isn't important. I just remember that this shop initially dared to sell a single dish for 100,000 star coins, which was widely ridiculed. At the same time, every dish they put on the shelves sold out instantly. Later, they were recognized by the official team as a high-quality shop, and it was said that the dishes they sold for 100,000 star coins were spiritual food.

:! Really? Please explain in detail, I need it, bro! The shop name isn't important anymore, it's very important! Seriously!

Ah, now that you mention it, I think I know too. Apparently, someone did a live stream of it, and the dishes tasted incredibly delicious. Thinking about it this way, I have a bold idea: Jiang He is a high-level alchemist, right? Let's look at it another way—what if she's not refining pills but spiritual food?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible! As far as I know, even a high-level alchemist cannot refine or create spiritual food without mastering the recipes for it. The threshold for spiritual food is extremely high. If Jiang He really is refining spiritual food, it can only be described as absolutely defying the heavens.

What if?

"Unless something goes wrong, our empire has never seen such a young alchemist capable of refining spiritual food. It's impossible for Jiang He to possess a spiritual recipe manual."

I don't know if it's spirit food, but I can be sure of one thing: Jiang He used spirit fire when refining the spirit plants. There was a red flame at the bottom of the cauldron, and the cauldron was boiling, which means that Jiang He wasn't just putting on a show, but actually refined a pot of spirit plants.

Ah, so is this a pill or just a pile of failed products?
