I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Jiang He is an alchemist.

The spiritual food sold at the "Restaurant That Risks a Sword Cultivation Career" is also made by alchemists, and she recently bought a batch of pills.

Shangguan Linghu discovered that the quality of these pills was around level one, mostly Bigu pills and Rejuvenation pills. In the following days, Foundation Establishment pills and Foundation Establishment Advancement pills were added one after another.

These pills can be made by even a novice alchemist.

Shangguan Linghu suddenly started brainstorming.

The restaurant owner and Jiang He are both alchemists. Are alchemists so common these days?

The coincidences were too great, which made Shangguan Linghu somewhat suspicious of the relationship between Jiang He and Jiang He's friends.

Shangguan Linghu didn't rush to the Trial Tower. She put away her sword and milk tea and then unfolded the memo that came with her light brain.

She pulled the memo page and calendar side by side for comparison.

Looking back on the previous periods when the store hadn't updated its inventory for a long time.

One period was at the beginning of the college entrance examination, another was when the martial arts test and team competition started, and the longest period without updates recently was in the past six months.

And these six months happen to coincide with the time when Jiang He came to the academy.

As Shangguan Linghu compared the two timelines and observed their constant overlap, she finally came to a startling conclusion.

Jiang He's timeline highly overlaps with that of the owner of the restaurant who "bet his sword cultivation career".

The first conclusion is that both Jiang He and the shop owner were high school students who happened to take the college entrance examination and then both got into university.

And this second conclusion...

Shangguan Linghu frowned slightly.

Perhaps it can be said that Jiang He is the owner of the restaurant.

Having finished reasoning, it's clear that Shangguan Linghu has already taken a bias.

She retracted the screen that the quantum computer had pulled out and continued walking towards the Trial Tower.

It's extremely unlikely that Jiang He could go from a low-level alchemist to a mid-level alchemist in just six months.

An alchemist who can make spiritual food—perhaps Jiang He had already become an alchemist before even entering the academy.

Shangguan Linghu's deduction was extremely bold; if Jiang He were here, she would definitely shout that she was wronged.

Jiang He only began learning alchemy after becoming a disciple of Bei Mingzi. Every time they had class, Bei Mingzi would complain about her talent.

Jiang He has never had a clear understanding of herself.

In fact, Shangguan Linghu's reasoning process was correct, and her conclusion was also half right.

Jiang He was indeed a restaurant owner who risked his career as a sword cultivator.

Shangguan Linghu did not tell anyone her reasoning results. She felt that her most urgent task was to find Jiang He and form a team.

An alchemist who can create spiritual food—what else could that be but a powerful figure?

Shangguan Linghu couldn't wait to go to the Sword Tower before going to find Jiang He.

Shangguan Linghu flew directly to the Trial Tower on her sword, swiped her card to enter the hall, and sat down to wait for Jiang He.

Like Shangguan Linghu, there were also many professional cultivators waiting for Jiang He, such as Linghu Yan, a sword cultivator who had just entered his third year of university.

He already knew about Jiang He's breakthrough in the sword arena, and now that he learned that Jiang He was an alchemist, he rushed from his dormitory to the Trial Tower without stopping.

For example, second-year and first-year students in the College of Plantation and the College of Law.

If we force a connection between them and Jiang He, since Jiang He studied both law cultivation and planting, how can they not be considered to be from the same root?

More and more students were waiting in the hall, some of whom were simply there to catch a glimpse of Jiang He's face.

Such young intermediate alchemists are extremely rare. Small sects might only produce two or three, while it's only in large sects that you see more intermediate alchemists.

Jiang He looked at the lit-up seventh floor and felt happy.

From the first to the seventh floor, once Jiang He passes through a floor, the display of that floor on the system will change from dim to bright.

Jiang He repeatedly covered her nose, suppressing the urge to sneeze, wondering who was thinking of her today.

She felt that ever since she finished refining pills, her sense of smell had become much more acute.

Jiang He had intended to give it a try, but as soon as the garlic baby bok choy was cooked, the system immediately showed that she had cleared the seventh level.

Jiang He is clearly not qualified to refine mid-grade pills yet, but she accidentally discovered that spiritual food can also help her pass the level.

The first floor of the Trial Tower grants 10 Academy Points, the second floor 50, the third floor 100, the fourth floor 150, the fifth floor 200, the sixth floor 250, and the seventh floor grants 400 points.

Adding the initial 10 points, Jiang He now has a total of 1170 points in the academy.

Having just finished clearing the level, Jiang He didn't need to rush. She sat on the ground of the tower and opened the points redemption system.

Jiang He glanced at it once and couldn't look away.

She looked at the advanced sword manual on the exchange interface several times.

I thought the rewards for the university competition would be very generous, but I didn't expect the rewards on the system's redemption page to be pretty good as well.

The only problem is that you need a lot of points to get into the university.

A single advanced sword manual requires 100,000 points.

There are also pills and similar items that require a lot of points.

Jiang He now has a sword, and the alchemy furnace is passable, but she wants to get a few more magic staffs.

Jiang He scrolled to the page for staffs; even a mid-grade staff required 50,000 points.

It's a bit tricky.

Jiang He's assets should be enough for her to buy a magic staff, but she still needs a large number of crystal cores for cultivation.

So the university credits are actually useful.

Besides, you can clear seven floors in a day, so you can consider taking a few more days to clear the rest of the Sword Tower, Spell Tower, etc.

Jiang He silently exited the system and then closed the holographic connection page.

When Jiang He arrived at the hall, she realized that she had unknowingly used up all her wood elemental energy while refining pills.

After swiping her card, she continued walking out, slipping a Rejuvenation Pill into her hand as she went.

The taste of the Rejuvenating Pill is fruity and vegetable-flavored, and it spreads in your mouth with a slightly sweet aftertaste.

"Here she comes! Isn't that Jiang He eating the sugar pills?"

"It seems so. I remember that Jiang He had black hair in the photos that circulated from the sword arena back then."

There were quite a few people squatting in the hall, and as soon as they saw Jiang He, they all surrounded her.

"Jiang He, would you consider joining our team? I am Linghu Yan from the third-year sword cultivator class. Our team has two Nascent Soul cultivators."

Linghu Yan smiled confidently. He hadn't heard of any freshmen this year who had reached the Nascent Soul stage. Teams with his qualifications were rare. He could already imagine Jiang He agreeing to his request.

Jiang He looked at the crowd of cultivators and didn't react for a moment until Linghu Yan and the others spoke up and she realized that they had come to ask her to team up.

The university competition requires teams of five, which are roughly healers, warriors, mages, assassins, and tanks.

Five cultivators with different backgrounds formed a team and registered on the system.

Cultivators without a team will be randomly assigned to a team, just like in the college entrance examination system.
