I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Since things have come to this, the only thing to do now is to focus on improving our strength.

She's not yet at the admission threshold of the four major universities, so she still needs to work hard to improve.

After filling out her college application, Jiang He promptly submitted her application for a leave of absence, stating that she would return home to cultivate.

Section Chief He knew that Jiang He was the daughter of the Jiang family, and given the recent incident, he quickly approved Jiang He's leave.

However, neither Section Chief He nor Li Jing believed that Jiang He would settle down to cultivate, after all, Jiang Xi's matter had caused quite a stir, and even the head of the Jiang family had called to inquire.

Section Chief He guessed that Jiang He must have been taken back by the Jiang family.

However, the truth is that Jiang He took leave to go home, did a thorough cleaning, and then ordered a bathtub.

She planned to try using more tomatoes; high-quality spiritual plants could also be used for alchemy.

The problem is that Jiang He herself doesn't know how to refine pills, nor does she have the resources or connections.

If she entrusted an online alchemist, there was no guarantee that they wouldn't try to steal her high-grade spiritual plants after seeing them. So, Jiang He quietly followed the simplest method to absorb them—eating them raw.

Several comparative experiments were conducted between eating raw and cooked tomatoes, and finally, by controlling the variables, the optimal amount of tomatoes for this body to tolerate and absorb was determined.

Half a cooked tomato is best for absorbing nutrients.

Of course, all the tomatoes during the experiment ended up in Jiang He's stomach, and the bathtub was changed several times, turning as red as it could possibly be.

Over the past seven days, Jiang He's five spiritual roots—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—have all been activated, and the spiritual veins of his wood and fire roots have grown larger and brighter.

The other three spiritual roots and veins are not only narrow but also dim, and they cannot even use basic spells.

Jiang He vaguely felt that she had advanced another level. In order to test her strength, she bought a simple cultivation test device online.

It cost her 200,000 Star Coins.

The tester showed that her strength was around the late stage of Qi Refining.

The Qi Refining stage is divided into the early stage, middle stage, late stage, and peak stage. Only by reaching the peak stage can one have the possibility of advancing to the next major stage, namely Foundation Establishment.

Jiang He rubbed her chin. Half of the tomatoes in her space had been used up. These were all top-grade spiritual plants, but she couldn't even get close to the peak of Qi Refining!

No wonder it's a useless spiritual root among five spiritual roots.

This cultivation speed is far too slow.

However, Jiang He simply refused to accept her fate.

Seeing that she had fed him enough resources, Jiang He swallowed the usable cultivation pills given to her by the Jiang family.

Three more days passed like this.

Jiang He ended her seclusion under the system's mechanical voice.

Permanent Quest Released —

Please find 1000 spiritual herbs and plant them in your space.

Mission Reward: Unlock 20 square meters of black soil space.

"Permanent quest?"

Previously, the system only issued daily tasks, such as turning the soil and watering the tomatoes.

This time, however, I have a different task. Although I don't know why I have this system space, the rewards of the planting system are basically all related to the space.

If even time travel is possible, it's not surprising that she has such a system; at least the plants in the planting space can indeed improve her strength.

Jiang He searched for spiritual herbs, and the related entries were mostly posts from students at the academy asking for help with the cultivation of spiritual herbs.

For example, a small website that Jiang He accidentally clicked on.

Urgent! Urgent! Urgent!

The medicinal herbs I planted have developed yellow spots, and I only have one month left before graduation. This is my graduation thesis! Are there any netizens with great abilities who can help me?

2L: Don't panic, I've had this happen to me too. Were your spiritual plants transplanted in the first place...?

……

Jiang He searched for a long time before discovering that there are two types of spiritual herbs: those from secret realms and those cultivated in the outside world.

Upon closer inspection of the image, Jiang He was astonished to discover that it wasn't a magical herb at all, but clearly just a scallion!

If Jiang He's eyesight weren't as high as 5.2, she would have thought she was hallucinating from her cultivation.

Jiang He looked through one image after another of the types and pictures of spiritual herbs.

Zooming in is like projecting an image onto your face, making it appear as if it were actually there.

"The herb of the Amaryllidaceae family is scallion, the herb of the Liliaceae family is leek, and the herb of the Erycibe genus of the Apiaceae family is coriander."

Jiang He couldn't help but question his life. When did the most common vegetables on Earth transform into spiritual herbs in interstellar space?

Jiang He quickly turned to the interstellar plant history.

Jiang He doesn't recognize most of the animals and plants in this world, and some of the animals and plants she does know that still exist have long been rare species.

Due to environmental factors, these species could become extinct at any time.

Seeing this, Jiang He understood why scallions, chives, cilantro, and the like were considered medicinal herbs.

It turns out that this world has a history that is thousands of years longer than that of Earth, and even plants and animals have begun to evolve.

In that case, it makes sense that the tomatoes from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences are top-grade spiritual plants. Perhaps the Earth where Jiang He was located had already experienced a spiritual revival, otherwise how could these tomatoes still have such a rich spiritual energy?

Let's put aside this outrageous discovery for now.

Jiang He quickly went online to check the prices of artificially cultivated, transplantable medicinal herbs.

Jiang He would have been better off not looking; after reading it, she gasped in shock.

One spirit herb costs 1 star coins!

The accompanying picture is of a plant from the Amaryllidaceae family, namely scallion.

This world has gone mad after all. A single scallion sells for ten thousand yuan; why doesn't it just rob people?!

Jiang He roared desperately.

Buying them is out of the question; the only remaining option is to find wild medicinal herbs.

Wild spiritual herbs are generally found within secret realms. Regardless of size, as long as it is a secret realm, there will definitely be spiritual herbs inside.

Jiang He's initial plan was to find a small secret realm so that he could level up and gain some real combat experience.

The secret realm was also part of her cultivation plan.

There are 27 days left until the college entrance examination, and 20 days for a small secret realm. All things considered, there is still enough time to make it to a small secret realm.

Jiang He was very weak at that moment.

It refers to strength. She knows how she achieved her late-stage Qi Refining level.

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.

Even if Qi Refining stage pills are extremely common among cultivators, the market price for one pill is still around 10,000 star coins, depending on its grade and quality. Foundation Establishment stage pills cost 100,000 star coins each, and Golden Core stage pills cost at least 1 million star coins each.

The pills given by Jiang Shan and Jiang Wei were of good quality and grade. 220 Qi Refining stage pills plus 100 Foundation Establishment stage pills and 20 Golden Core stage pills, which amounted to 3220 million star coins.

Including the twenty top-grade spiritual plants, the total is 5220 million star coins.

Ten days!

Just ten days!

Jiang Hehua has already spent about half of what was originally a small goal!

Although the cultivation level is not high, it still has an effect.

Jiang He calculated her money and found she had at least nine million star coins.

The world's secret realms are divided into five types: intrusion dungeons, ancient ruins, blessed lands formed by nature, caves or inheritances left by predecessors, and man-made secret realms.

The secret realm Jiang He is going to is in Beihuai City. It is considered a blessed place with low threat level, and the opening time is relatively clear, which is tomorrow night at 8 pm.

Even in a blessed land, Jiang He would not let her guard down.

Blessed lands are also secret realms, and any secret realm contains monsters, magical plants, and people.

The highest-level monsters and magical plants in the small secret realms are Golden Core cultivators; they pose no threat unless deliberately provoked.

Jiang He's main concern is people!

Human nature is unpredictable, let alone in this world full of opportunities.

For this little secret adventure, Jiang He bought a lot of items from various shopping websites and apps.

There are talismans, elixirs, and weapons for self-defense...

Nine million in assets may seem like a lot, but Jiang He spent it all on things related to cultivation in no time.

Not a single bit left.

The majority of the items were a mustard seed bag and a sword.

The ring pouch contains three million Star Coins.

Its space is roughly the size of a room. In fact, Jiang He has a planting space where she could put the items she obtained from the small secret realm, but that would be inconvenient. If someone follows her for a long time, they would be able to tell that she has a personal space.

This is not a good thing for her.

Aside from the ring pouch, the sword is an entry-level spiritual sword for cultivators; the item details page states that it's the kind of spiritual sword that can be controlled by the sword.

However, Jiang He probably won't need the sword-riding ability, as she, like the original owner, is afraid of heights.

Therefore, the main purpose of buying the spirit sword is to kill monsters.

Having weapons is not enough; you also need protective gear. Jiang He bought a suit of armor.

These two items cost her 200 million Star Coins.

With the rest of the items left, Jiang He bought a lot of explosive talismans, immobilization talismans, as well as face-changing pills, spirit-gathering pills, poison powder, and so on.

Before entering the secret realm, Jiang He specifically requested a period of leave from the original owner's three workplaces.

Then he packed up his ring pouch and headed to the secret realm.

The secret realm is located in the suburbs of Beihuai City, far from the city center. Perhaps the closer you get to the secret realm, the worse the signal from the optical computer becomes.

When Jiang He arrived at the mountain where the secret realm was located in the flying car, the signal was completely cut off.

The wind howled through the mountains, and wild grasses flew everywhere.

In the darkness, by the light of the quantum computer, Jiang He looked up and saw many figures standing at the foot of the mountain.

People of all ages and genders are represented.

Those who can stand here are basically cultivators, because only cultivators can be absorbed into the small secret realm, that is, enter the secret realm.

Before Jiang He could even assess the terrain, someone approached her:

"Beautiful lady, how about checking out the Golden Bull Trading Company? We buy all kinds of spiritual plants, magical plants, monsters, and crystal cores obtained from secret realms, and our prices are at least one percent higher than the market price..."

The newcomer's voice was not loud, but it was extremely penetrating, conveying the same information to all five people at the same time as he spoke to Jiang He.

After accepting the business card he handed her, Jiang He closed her eyes and pretended to doze off.

Then a fierce wind swept in, and suddenly a vortex formed by the wind appeared in the air. The vortex grew bigger and bigger until a yellow-green crack appeared.

"Yellowish-green! Is it a yellow-tier or green-tier secret realm?"

"Holy crap, it's yellowish-green! Is the level of this little secret realm in Beihuai really that high? This information broker's news is unreliable."

"Whether it's the yellow rank or the green rank, we're going to make a fortune this time."

"Yes, I think there are fewer people here tonight. They probably regret not coming. The Blessed Land Minor Secret Realm is at most orange-tier, but I didn't expect it to be yellow-tier or green-tier this time."

Hearing the excited sounds around her, Jiang He felt that this secret realm was somewhat strange.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.

The secret realm is divided into seven levels. A secret realm that emits a red light is a red-level secret realm, which is the lowest level.

Purple light is the highest level, purple rank.

Jiang He had previously guessed that this small secret realm would likely be orange-tier, since it was a blessed land and couldn't be too low-tier, but since blessed lands weren't very dangerous, the level couldn't be too high either.

Unexpectedly, the secret realm vortex was yellowish-green.

This is not good for Jiang He. Higher-level secret realms have more treasures and resources, but for Jiang He, a higher level also means a higher risk factor.

She stared intently at the vortex.

A moment later, in a dizzying spin, Jiang He found herself in a secret realm.

Just after Jiang He entered the secret realm, a trending topic popped up on the StarNet. The hot topic and sensational title made it hard not to click on it.

[The real heiress returns home only to be humiliated: Even a useless girl with five spiritual roots can have her day?]

The title hints at a real and fake heiress and a wasted spiritual root, making it quite intriguing.

Such an evocative title has attracted a lot of netizens.

The video accompanying the title shows the scene of Jiang Xi hiring someone to fight with Jiang He, as well as Jiang Xi and Jiang Hanwen being arrested by the police.

[Whose real daughter is this? Who is Jiang He? I can't find the name. Can someone explain?]

Jiang He is the daughter of the Jiang family who was adopted by them. Jiang Shan has a son and a daughter, and Jiang He is Jiang Yaoyi's older sister.

Isn't Jiang Yaoyi a famous genius in our city? She's already at the Golden Core stage at seventeen; her future is limitless!

Jiang He is just a useless person with five spiritual roots, how can she compare to Jiang Yaoyi?

Calling her useless is true, but the Jiang family is really going too far. Even a collateral branch can bully Jiang He.

Yes, the Jiang family's rules are terrible. And judging from the video, Jiang He was actually able to exchange a few blows with this Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. Is she really a waste?

Jiang He is definitely a waste. Although she can dodge, didn't you see she was constantly dodging? She's completely afraid to confront that Foundation Establishment cultivator head-on.

: No wonder they're netizens of the StarNet. Now, cultivators who can withstand three blows from a higher level are considered trash.

If this were in real life, I would definitely praise this young lady of the Jiang family, but unfortunately this is the Star Network. The average cultivation level of cultivators on the Star Network is Golden Core, so this Jiang He is indeed a waste.

My focus is on the real and fake heiresses. If Jiang He is the real heiresses, then who is the fake one? I don't see the author mentioning that.

Could it be Jiang Yaoyi...?

The Huang family members are all incredibly good-looking. Although you can't see Jiang He's face clearly, you can vaguely sense that she's a beauty in the making. Jiang Yao, on the other hand, has a cute appearance...

Stop with the conspiracy theories, upstairs. It's StarCraft 6056 already, why are you still judging a person by their appearance?

]

The video footage was blurry, but the main characters could still be identified. The scene where Jiang Xi hired someone to assault others was controversial, and the police's eventual arrest of her further confirmed Jiang Xi's heinous behavior.

-

"Master, we cannot contact the young lady's personal terminal."

"When I went to the young lady's school, the teacher told me that the young lady had applied for leave of absence, the reason being to cultivate and prepare for the exam."

Jiang Shan's face darkened slightly. Videos of Jiang Xi and others being detained by the police were circulating wildly online. Although he had immediately announced that he would expel the two from the Jiang family, public opinion had been ignited, and the stocks of several companies owned by the Jiang family were showing a downward trend.

But now they can't get in touch with Jiang He.

Jiang He could not be found through either the computer or the school.

Jiang Shan stared at the falling stocks, his fingers gripping the cup tightly.

Since this person is so unruly, even if he is his own son, he is beyond control. It would be better for him to obediently attend an ordinary university.

"Keep trying to contact Jiang He."

"Yes, master."

-

The hidden realm boasts abundant vegetation and exceptionally refreshing scenery.

As soon as Jiang He entered the secret realm, she was dazzled by a patch of scallions (spiritual herbs) on the ground.

Jiang He's eyes flashed, and she quickly ran over and started digging for scallions with a hoe.

Simply transplanting the medicinal herb next to the tomato plant should be enough.

These scallions are usually planted in groups of ten; if there are a thousand plants, you would have to dig them up a hundred times.

At least there are no monsters to be seen here for the time being, so Jiang He will dig up the scallions first. As for the space and land issue, the space will naturally become larger after she completes the transplant and the mission is finished. Then she can move it to an open space.

She carried the items bit by bit, and the task progress was constantly updated.

Just as two footsteps approached, Jiang He was about to leave, but fearing that the person would catch up, she simply lay down and hid behind her. The area was lush with spiritual herbs, including not only scallions but also other trees.

She lay behind a large tree, her clothes blending in with the environment, making it difficult to spot Jiang He without careful observation.

The footsteps grew closer and closer, finally disappearing not far from Jiang He.

"Brother Xie, I've confirmed it. There does seem to be something strange about Aotian, otherwise he couldn't have advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage so quickly."

"That's normal. Long Aotian must have obtained some kind of opportunity, which is why his strength has increased so much. Go and investigate again. If you can find out what that opportunity is, that would be great."

"Yes, I understand, Brother Xie. So, what about you and Shangguan Ningxue?"

"Ningxue and I are just fellow disciples. Don't worry, you know that I've always only had eyes for you."

Xie Xing stroked Su Yingying's head, and the two walked further and further away.

Jiang He, who had listened to all the gossip, was still not satisfied.
