I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Chapter 686 The top of the snow mountain

The lean meat porridge was for Bai Zhizhou, while Jiang He and the others ate roasted meat.

Wan Qiziye never expected to be able to eat at this time.

After a cultivator reaches the Golden Core stage and begins abstaining from grains, they rarely eat food.

When Jiang He brought over the fork, Wan Qiziye instinctively wanted to refuse.

He remembered that it was monster meat.

Although I followed Jiang He's instructions step by step, the meat used for this barbecue was, in the end, monster meat.

Wanqi Ziye was still somewhat resistant.

He managed to dodge the roasted meat from Jiang He's hands, but he couldn't dodge the meat Li Songcheng offered him:

"Wanqi Ziye, Kongji, try it! It tastes wonderful, and..."

After careful consideration, Li Songcheng realized that his spiritual energy surged after eating a bite of meat, and he immediately replenished the spiritual energy he had just depleted.

"Huh? Isn't this spirit food?"

Li Songcheng stared blankly at Jiang He with wide eyelids.

Wanqi Ziye paused upon hearing this, then chewed the meat he had brought to his mouth. It didn't taste like the monster meat he had imagined; it was bitter and hard to swallow. Instead, it had a rich aroma.

Bai Zhizhou sipped his lightly salted pork porridge, his gaze falling on Jiang He's grilled meat.

Li Ling quickly stepped forward, blocking Bai Zhizhou's gaze:

"Just bear with it for now. Hongmu said that you shouldn't eat too much oily food when you're sick."

Bai Zhizhou: "Okay."

Wan Qiziye ate a piece of roasted meat, and seemingly embarrassed, he didn't take the roasted meat that Jiang He handed him, but instead snatched the roasted meat from Li Songcheng.

Li Songcheng's inner monologue: You're so high and mighty...

Like Wanqi Ziye, the other cultivators were savoring the food.

They truly hadn't expected Jiang He's spiritual food to smell so delicious.

Ye Qingti thought about the smell of meat buns she had smelled on the field that day, and she had been wanting to take a bite for a long time.

She was satisfied with the meal and felt instantly energized.

The sudden change in art style managed to dispel the somber atmosphere somewhat.

[: Okay, okay, even the main character is eating barbecue.]

Damn holographic mode, and it even has olfactory sharing! This stuff smells amazing!

It's good. I finally saw something positive. I really can't take any more angst.

What kind of meat smells so good?

It seems the redwood was mixed with some kind of nutrient solution and spiritual plants, but the meat is essentially still monster meat, like that Black Wind Pig.

Black Wind Pig?! Are you all crazy, or am I?

I just saw that Bai Zhizhou drank that lean meat porridge and it seems fine. Lean meat porridge is definitely okay, but have you considered the level of the spiritual plants used in that porridge?

What kind of spiritual plant?

I don't know. After threshing and cooking, each grain is white, tender, and plump. I've never seen this before. Could it be another one of those revived spiritual plants?

Probably not. Last time when Hongmu was competing on the Heroes Ranking, everyone said that the Xiaoyao Sect had an extinct tomato-like spiritual plant. Tomatoes are rare enough, and now there's another one? The Xiaoyao Sect could practically ascend to immortality.

No, when did this happen? How did it get involved with extinct spiritual plants?

You didn't know? This caused quite a stir back then. Apparently, many bigwigs from agricultural research institutes are now applying to visit the spirit fields of the Xiaoyao Sect.

: Oh my god

So, is it really okay to eat monster meat?

It should be fine, otherwise how could Hongmu dare to feed Bai Zhizhou, an injured person, lean meat porridge?

How extravagant! Spiritual food made with top-grade spiritual plants, the kind that are extinct. I can't even imagine how delicious it must be.

You can tell just by the smell, it's guaranteed to be delicious.

The Free and Unfettered Sect is the same; they always tempt people like this, but they don't actually sell their products or provide links. They're just trying to make people drool, aren't they?

I think you've all got the focus wrong. We shouldn't be discussing whether the spiritual food tastes good or not. The point is, it's made of redwood. I remember she was ranked number one on the alchemy leaderboard. Back then, the high-grade pills alchemists made attracted a lot of attention. And two of the top ten alchemists on the leaderboard were ranked based on their spiritual food.

Why didn't Hongmu showcase his skills on the leaderboard? If he were making spiritual food, why would so many people be questioning him?

Redwood is indeed a master's work; I never expected that redwood could be used to make spiritual food.

It seems there are quite a few unexpected things about Redwood. They already have four spiritual roots; don't tell me there's a fifth, sixth, seventh… and then they just end up with a complete set of spiritual roots.

I think the comment above hit the nail on the head. Looking forward to seeing it.

: Then I'll squat too

：蹲

：蹲

: +1

Many echoes say that whether Hongmu can make spiritual food or not doesn't seem to matter to outsiders; everyone assumes she's omnipotent. What surprises me is how delicious her spiritual food is.

Is it really delicious? It smells very fragrant, but I doubt it's delicious.

"No, no, no, you don't understand. This stuff is absolutely delicious. You can tell just by looking at the expressions on other people's faces. Wanqi Ziye is royalty; he's eaten everything since he was a child, including plenty of spiritual food. He can even categorize it, like what kind it is. It's normal for royalty to eat well; it might even be custom-made." Meanwhile, Wanqi Ziye and Li Songcheng were enjoying their meal immensely.

Stop! Don't say anymore! If you keep talking, I'll really want to eat it.

Hmm, I suggest you don't even think about it. Regular spiritual food is already ridiculously expensive, how could something this delicious not be pricey?

Can't I even fantasize about something I can't have in real life?

That sounds so tragic.

Let's crowdfund and then go to the Free and Unfettered Sect to get some redwood to open a shop. That way, it'll be a win-win situation for everyone.

That makes sense.

Wait a minute! Just wondering if there's been any conclusion regarding the previous discussion about whether Hongmu is Jiang He? Why do I feel like the two of them are becoming more and more alike?

Just to add, Senior Sister Jiang can also make spiritual food. I don't know if you guys have tried the spiritual food that our Wanjue Academy previously collaborated with other universities to offer. It was so delicious! Take, for example, the stir-fried cabbage with vinegar. They still have it at the academy cafeteria window.

I've never eaten it before.

I recommend you place an order. It's definitely delicious, but there's one fatal flaw: if you manage to snag a spot, you'll have to wait until next year to get yours.

:!? It's so popular!

If you just want to smell it, you can catch up on our Wanjue Academy's open class on stir-fried cabbage with vinegar; it's absolutely delicious!

Wait for me an hour, I'll come back after watching it and tell you my thoughts.

One minute has passed, have you finished watching?

Ten minutes have passed. Tag me after you've finished reading, and I'll give you a light kick to the butt.

: I'm back! I went to check it out with great excitement, and then I discovered some incredible secrets. I don't know why, but it's such a coincidence that Hongmu and Jiang He both use nutrient solution when making spiritual food. It's too much of a coincidence, isn't it? And... they're basically using the same brand of nutrient solution!

:! No wonder you watched it for an hour, so detailed!

[Ugh! Has anyone actually verified whether the redwood is actually made by Jiang He?!]

After everyone finished eating the spiritual food, their spiritual energy was fully restored.

Along the way, Jiang He used up most of her pills. After finishing them, she began to refine pills with different effects.

She didn't stop until she had refined more than a dozen batches of high-grade pills.

They had now reached the halfway point of the mountain, where the howling wind was even stronger. She gradually felt powerless, and after another moment, Jiang He and Wan Qiziye's spiritual energy could no longer protect everyone.

"The wind is too strong, don't worry about us."

Li Songcheng glanced at the cultivators walking at the front, knowing that this was the extent of his journey.

Li Songcheng stopped and stood in the wind and snow, watching the others climb the mountain.

Jiang He squatted on the snow, feeling a chill.

Li Ling brushed the snow off her face; ice shards clung to her hair.

She continued forward despite the wind, and after walking for a while, she realized that she could only ascend by using demonic energy to protect herself.

Bai Zhizhou walked and stopped intermittently, his already pale face becoming even more ashen. The magic array in his hand appeared, and for a moment everyone's steps became lighter.

"Wind Stop Formation".

Li Ling looked at Bai Zhizhou and wanted to tell him to stop using the formation, but after thinking about it, she realized that her demonic energy and spiritual energy were almost depleted, and she could not use a large-scale formation like Bai Zhizhou.

Li Ling held his breath, determined to move faster and faster so as not to waste Bai Zhizhou's formation.

After passing through another stretch of mountain road, the direction leading up the mountain was already covered in snow, and one could easily get lost if not careful.

The thick snow went from the soles of our feet to our calves.

Bai Zhizhou also stopped, and he looked at Jiang He and said:

"Good luck, I can't get up there."

Jiang He pressed her sword against the snow: "Alright."

Long Aotian clasped his hands in a fist salute:

"Wait for us."

Li Ling smiled as she looked at Jiang He and the others, panting heavily, as if she had reached the very end.

"I'm not very good at it. It just so happens that Bai Zhizhou is coming down the mountain, so let's go down together."

"Row."

Jiang He distributed the pills to Li Ling and Bai Zhizhou.

So far, those still on the snow mountain include her, Long Aotian, Kongji, and Wanqi Ziye.
