Chapter 729 Boss Jiang, how much are the tomatoes?
"These are all...tomatoes?"
Overwhelmed with shock, Yan Xi abandoned all professional conduct. Her voice trembled, her heart pounding with excitement, and she longed to touch him right then and there.
The accompanying staff took cameras and repeatedly approached the tomato, almost filming its entire body.
The tomatoes that had been photographed were so numerous that the white plastic crates seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see.
Yan Xi looked at the tomatoes and jokingly asked:
"Mr. Jiang, how much are these?"
Jiang He's lips curled up; the host was too perceptive.
"The fruit is not for sale."
"Ah...that's such a pity." Since this program is about live-streaming spiritual plants, most of the staff who come along are agricultural cultivators.
Nong Xiu understands the value of these spiritual plants even better; the worth of top-grade spiritual plants is self-evident.
Jiang He didn't plan to sell the original fruit directly; the spiritual food made from low-grade spiritual plants could sell for hundreds of thousands of star coins.
A top-grade spiritual plant is priced between 100 million and 200 million star coins, while its fruit is worth around 100 million star coins.
The price of a spirit stone is approximately 10,000 star coins.
In other words, a tomato sells for about 100 spirit stones, but it's not worth that price once it's made into a spirit food.
Jiang He won't double the price; 500 million star coins for scrambled eggs with tomatoes isn't unreasonable, is it?
Tomato and beef noodles, 600 million Star Coins wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Jiang He secretly calculated in her mind that these tomatoes could be exchanged for quite a few spirit stones.
She looked at the regretful Yan Xi and continued:
“We don’t sell the raw fruit, but we do sell spiritual food.”
"Selling spiritual food...selling spiritual food!"
Yan Xi was even more excited upon hearing this. The spiritual food of the Xiaoyao Sect had become famous throughout the cultivation world after the sect competition. Many people could not forget the taste after smelling it. Netizens on the Star Network were begging the Xiaoyao Sect to put it on the shelves, but they did not put it in the shopping cart or provide a link. To this day, apart from the disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect and the cultivators who have joined the group, no one knows how delicious the spiritual food of the Xiaoyao Sect is.
I forgot to mention Qi Zong and Wan Qi Zi Ye.
In short, Jiang He's words had a wider impact than any celebrity's, and the screen was flooded with comments.
[I am a sword cultivator, and I support the Free and Unfettered Sect selling spiritual food.]
I am a pill cultivator, and I support the Free and Unfettered Sect selling spiritual food.

[…]
A barrage of comments scrolled by, and it did indeed look somewhat like a pyramid scheme.
Once a large number of bullet comments have traveled across the ocean, netizens are like they've been given a shot of adrenaline.
I originally came just to join in the fun, but I was suddenly stunned by the news from the Free and Unfettered Sect.
[: Xiaoyao Sect, you guys are really something! This is the spiritual food I've been waiting for so long. Quickly post the link, I want to eat it today!]
Great! Hahaha, I finally have a chance to eat the revived spiritual plants! I definitely want to try this tomato and see what it tastes like.
The spirit stone mine is ready. When will the link be uploaded and when will it be available?
Spirit stone mine... Guys... isn't that a bit too much?
Hahaha, it's rare to see everyone so eager and impatient!
"The restaurant where you risk your sword-cultivation career"—I've tried several times but failed to get a reservation. Xiaoyao Sect, please don't make it a limited edition!
The spiritual food at this shop is indeed delicious, but it's very difficult to get your hands on it.
It's impossible not to release it in limited quantities; I just hope it launches soon.
Did you guys just see a sacred field? It was white, and it looked so familiar.
Selling spiritual food is great! I never have a source for it, and I can't even buy it. Sometimes I feel like I have money to burn.
This is what happens when you don't have connections.
Could you please add this to your shopping cart right now, Xiaoyao Sect? I'll definitely place an order immediately.
You wish!
Don't you guys pay attention to spiritual plants? By the way, these spiritual plants by the roadside look a bit like strawberries, if I'm not mistaken.
It's strawberries. The first time Wei Ming and I came to the Free and Unfettered Sect, we were quite surprised that they planted these spiritual plants by the roadside. Anyway, they're definitely reviving spiritual plants.
The camera continued to follow, and Jiang He spoke eloquently, mentioning the experimental group. He basically said that the experimental group was short of people, and that any suitable cultivators should sign up as soon as possible, as many as they could come.
As they spoke, white appeared before their eyes.
Snow-like flowers grew tenaciously in the spirit field. Yan Xi observed them for a long time, then suddenly recalled what she had heard at the Lingyun Sect:
Cotton is a superior spiritual plant that can be used to make tea or taken internally. It has the effect of clearing the mind and detoxifying, and when refined into elixirs, it can calm the mind.
Isn't this all white cotton, a spiritual plant?
Before Jiang He could speak, Yan Xi's mouth moved faster than her brain, and she repeated every word the elder of Lingyun Sect had said.
Jiang He nodded: "It is indeed a cotton spirit plant, but its effects are not to clear the mind and detoxify. This piece of cotton can be used to make magic robes, which are sturdy and resistant to being torn apart by demons."
"That's it."
Yan Xi felt awkward, as her story differed from that of the elders of the Lingyun Sect.
Yan Xi discovered the difference in how the Xiaoyao Sect and the Lingyun Sect treated cotton, and netizens naturally noticed it as well.
Everyone here is an agricultural repairman; they've never seen cotton before, but they probably know that these two functions are completely different.
So……
Who's right...?
[Does the Free and Unfettered Sect also have cotton?]
I knew it! This spirit field looked familiar; it's all white. I realized I'd seen it at the Lingyun Sect.
It really is cotton, all white, quite easy to recognize.
Oh dear, why are the two people giving different descriptions of its effects? I just checked various websites, and there really isn't much information about cotton.
Who's right?
Strange, strange. The Lingyun Sect says it's for brewing tea, while the Xiaoyao Sect says it has defensive functions and even denies the effects claimed by the Lingyun Sect.
To put it bluntly, I feel that the Xiaoyao Sect and the Lingyun Sect are rivals. Could it be that Jiang He said this on purpose to embarrass the Lingyun Sect?
No, Jiang He wouldn't risk her reputation for nothing.
This live stream is getting more and more exciting!
Does the Lingyun Sect also have cotton in its spiritual fields?
Yes, you must have arrived later. You can check out the clips from Lingyun Sect's live stream this time; their accounts are completely different. I'm starting to wonder if it was just for the sake of the show.
Absolutely not. The live stream footage of the Free and Unfettered Sect that's being shown now is entirely dominated by the program's interns. As mentioned before, if they only gave the Free and Unfettered Sect 50-second shots, the show would end before even getting to the Cotton Spirit Field.
The Free and Unfettered Sect has improved; they even dare to challenge the Soaring Cloud Sect now.
That's what I meant.
I remember cotton was a newly discovered crop, isn't it? What a coincidence, does the Free and Unfettered Sect also have it?
The Free and Unfettered Sect already has tomatoes, so isn't it normal for them to have cotton?
Have you noticed how many spirit fields the Free and Unfettered Sect has? It's really plentiful. I'm starting to doubt what you said before. It seems like these spirit fields in the Free and Unfettered Sect aren't as valuable or require a lot of manpower to maintain as you described. Even strawberries can grow anywhere. Could it be that the cotton fields are similar?
Let's hear what the Free and Unfettered Sect has to say first.
Yan Xi looked at Jiang He, whose thoughts were similar to those of the netizens.
Hesitating for a long time, unsure whether to speak or not, Jiang He finally noticed Yan Xi's confusion:
"You said."
"Boss Jiang, the effects of this cotton you described are different from those of the Lingyun Sect. Could we try on the robes made from this cotton?"
“Of course, Zhong Liyu, bring two items. Yan Xi, wait here while I go fetch a demon.”
"Ah good."
Yan Xi was a little confused, but after thinking for a moment, she began to have some ideas.
Vestments and monsters.
Could it be that the test was conducted on the spot?
Yan Xi felt uneasy, but Jiang He quickly led the Black Wind Pig over.
Hunting Blackwind Boars in the wild is too troublesome. Unless you can enter a secret realm or go to the Black Nest, you won't see many monsters in space.
Jiang He asked the Weapon Sect for some piglets this year to raise, and after a few months, they have grown quite large.
When Jiang He led her out, Yan Xi felt a chill in her heart.
Is it too late for her to leave now?
When Jiang He led out the black wind pig, the live stream reached a small peak in popularity.
No one said there were any demons in Xiaoyao, and why is this demon so obedient to Jiang He?
[: Miscalculation! Miscalculation! The Free and Unfettered Sect is raising demons!]
I might not know why other sects raise demons, but I know the Free and Unfettered Sect probably does that, and then kills and eats them.
Oh, you've even learned to answer first!
Haha, I remember Jiang He was quite versatile. Looking at him now, he seems like the kind of cultivator who can control beasts.
Who knows, she might really know it. It seems like there's nothing Jiang He can't do.
Exciting! Could this monster have been brought here to test this robe?
I think so.
Jiang He stopped with the demon in her hand and asked Yan Xi about her room. She and Yan Xi put on cotton robes at the same time.
Yan Xi forced a smile; her mouth was already running fast. What do you think she agreed to?
Yan Xi looked at the Black Wind Pig, her eyes filled with regret.
To test the effectiveness of the magic robe, Jiang He had Li Ling use demonic energy to control the demons.
She really didn't know anything about taming beasts, but Li Ling did know a little bit.
When the Black Wind Boar swung down, Yan Xi closed her eyes in fear. She was wearing a magic robe, and she knew in her heart that even if the magic robe had no defensive effect, the Xiaoyao Sect next to her would not stand idly by and watch her die. However, she was a farmer cultivator, so she was still afraid.
As the Black Wind Boar's attack landed, a faint light emanated from the robe.
As the sound faded, Yan Xi opened her eyes. Three marks were visible on her robes—the claw marks of the Black Wind Boar. However, she felt no other injuries, and the robes were neither pierced nor destroyed. A flicker of joy appeared in her eyes:
"It really is a defensive type!"
"The robes were made by the Artifact Sect, and this batch of cotton was also purchased by the Artifact Sect. If you need any, you can ask the Artifact Sect to customize robes of different grades. The one we are wearing is a low-grade magic artifact."
"That's great, I'll reserve one first."
Yan Xi smiled and said that Jiang He and she were wearing the same material of magic robes. With the demon attack as evidence and the Weapon Sect as a guarantee, it was easy to see which side was more credible.
