"This taste really was a bit hard to swallow."
Jiang Chuan chewed the Purple Horn Beef in his mouth and gave his assessment.
Meng Nanxi nodded and looked at the Ginseng and Ganoderma Stewed Beef Pot laid out on the tray before her.
"Purple Horn Beef stewed with medicinal herbs has such a heavy traditional medicine taste. It really is hard to swallow."
"The Elite Class cafeteria only serves medicinal cuisine. If you think it doesn't taste good enough, I suggest you eat at the cafeteria outside." Song Zhiyan stared at Jiang Chuan, picked up a piece of Purple Horn Beef, and bit down on it viciously.
It was as if that piece of Purple Horn Beef were Jiang Chuan's flesh.
"Although medicinal cuisine is more nutritious, I still think it's a real pity not to turn good ingredients into delicious food."
Jiang Chuan picked up a piece of ganoderma and put it into his mouth.
Ever since immortal light had descended upon the world and Transcendent Factors had reappeared after the Ancient Era, many ordinary medicinal herbs had absorbed Transcendent Factors, multiplying their efficacy severalfold.
According to the Ancient Cultivators, medicinal herbs that had absorbed Transcendent Factors could already be called Spirit Medicine.
The ginseng and ganoderma stewed together with the Purple Horn Beef were both Spirit Medicine that had absorbed Transcendent Factors.
It was no exaggeration to say that this serving of Ginseng and Ganoderma Stewed Beef Pot would not be surprising if it sold for over a hundred thousand Great Xia Coin outside.
Once I slaughter demon beasts in the future, I'll definitely roast them or make hot pot with them. I absolutely can't turn them into medicinal cuisine.
As he thought, Jiang Chuan finished the entire serving of Ginseng and Ganoderma Stewed Beef Pot.
After eating, Jiang Chuan returned to the Cultivation Room to continue cultivating.
After sitting down, Jiang Chuan took out the Moon Dew, removed the stopper, and drank it in one gulp.
Jiang Chuan felt a cool drop of water slide down his throat and into his body.
Once the essence within the Moon Dew had been completely absorbed,
a strange sensation surged into Jiang Chuan's heart. The drowsiness he had felt at noon vanished without a trace, leaving him refreshed and clear-headed.
Strands of strange energy appeared out of thin air within his body, then fused into his Four Limbs and Hundred Meridians.
In an instant, he felt his strength grow greater, and his limbs become more powerful.
At the same time, strands of strange energy, like mist brimming with vitality, slipped along his spine into his Sea of Consciousness, where they were absorbed by the translucent Yin God.
They made the translucent Yin God increasingly solid.
As expected of a treasure exchanged for 100 Merit Points! Jiang Chuan thought to himself.
Although a single drop of Moon Dew did not improve his strength much, he could feel that his very essence was improving.
It's a pity there was only one drop.
Jiang Chuan felt a little envious of Meng Nanxi's squirrel.
Shaking his head to dispel the thought, Jiang Chuan began cultivating.
Since he had not brought a power bank, Jiang Chuan could not cultivate Falling Cloud Thunder. He could only follow the records of the Great Sun Slaughtering God Technique and begin Muscle Refining.
Two kinds of spiritual power surged from Jiang Chuan's dantian and spread through his flesh like tides.
Like flames of two different colors, they wrapped around every inch of Jiang Chuan's flesh and began tempering it.
By the time school ended, Jiang Chuan felt that the flesh on his chest had already been fully tempered.
"With the help of medicinal cuisine and the Cultivation Room, I tempered my chest in one afternoon. If things go quickly, I should be able to temper my entire body in three days."
Jiang Chuan then picked up his backpack and left the Cultivation Room with Meng Nanxi and the others, preparing to go home.
When he arrived at the school gate, Jiang Chuan saw Wei Dong, who had been waiting for a long time.
The moment Wei Dong saw Jiang Chuan, he gave him a big hug.
"Awesome, Jiang Chuan! You made it into Elite Class 1 at the very last second!"
"The truly awesome one is Campus Belle Meng. She entered the elite class several days before I did."
Jiang Chuan did not think he was all that impressive. Compared with geniuses like Song Zhiyan, who could rival the Seven Swords King and the Azure Martial King, he was still far too lacking.
"I entered the elite class several days earlier, but I still can't compare to Officer Jiang. After all, not just anyone can earn praise from Teacher Qu."
Meng Nanxi smiled sweetly and waved at the two of them. "Officer Jiang, Wei Dong, see you tomorrow."
After bidding Meng Nanxi farewell, Wei Dong asked as they walked, "Officer Jiang, when did you get that nickname?"
"Just today."
"How did you get it?"
"Teacher Qu made me the Class Monitor of Elite Class 1."
"..."
After a brief silence, Wei Dong's eyes went wide as he said in shock, "Holy shit! You became the Class Monitor of Elite Class 1!"
"Who told Teacher Qu to like students like me?"
Hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Wei Dong punched him lightly in the chest.
"I heard that the class monitors of elite classes basically all become high-level military officials. Officer Jiang, my family's Three-Wheeler and I both want to enlist."
"Your Three-Wheeler can be a military vehicle, and you can be a company commander." Jiang Chuan immediately wrote him a check his mouth couldn't cash.
"Thank you, Officer Jiang. My family's Three-Wheeler will definitely perform well."
After parting ways with Wei Dong, Jiang Chuan headed toward his family's Pet Store.
"At my current cultivation speed, I should be able to complete Blood Exchange before the end of the month, perhaps even complete Rebirth."
Jiang Chuan kept pondering. "If I can Forge Dao Foundation and my mana becomes tangible and substantial, my strength... I'll gain the ability to fly."
"Even if I face an encirclement by the Blood Sea Divine Cult, I'll be able to escape with my life."
Cultivators below the Fourth Realm were all considered cultivators in the Ancient Era. From this, it was not hard to see the gap in strength between the Fourth Realm and the Third Realm!
When he arrived before the Pet Store and pushed open its door, Jiang Chuan heard the Director's excited cry. Then he saw the Director pounce toward him, hide behind him, and push him to the front.
"Meow!"
A gigantic cat, snow-white all over and as large as a tiger, walked up to Jiang Chuan and stared at the Director behind him.
"Son, this is the cat from Uncle Du's family. He's your father's colleague. This cat is in heat, so your Uncle Du and Aunt Du brought it to our home today to breed."
Hearing Ji Min's words, Jiang Chuan raised his eyes and saw a man and woman sitting beside Ji Min and Jiang Huai'an.
The man was as unshaven as Jiang Huai'an. Both wore military uniforms and looked exhausted; clearly, both of them worked overtime often.
"Hello, Uncle Du. Hello, Aunt Du." Jiang Chuan greeted them politely, while also understanding why the Director had hidden behind him.
In a cat's eyes, White Cats were the ugliest kind.
While an orange cat like the Director was not exactly handsome, he could at least be considered somewhat good-looking.
Making a somewhat good-looking cat breed with an ugly, fat cat would definitely not make it happy.
"So this is Little Chuan. He looks like his mother."
Du Qingfeng smiled. "Old Jiang, your son is much more handsome than you were back then."
"His mother has good genes. Huh?"
Jiang Huai'an keenly noticed the Smartwatch on Jiang Chuan's left wrist, and his expression changed.
"A military Electronic Smart Communicator! Son, this is military equipment. Where did you get it?!"
Du Qingfeng, Ji Min, and the other two all had their expressions change drastically.
All military equipment was protected under the "Great Xia Military Law." Privately reselling or even purchasing it could result in sentencing!
Even losing military equipment was grounds for disciplinary action.
As instructors of the City Lord's Mansion Aviation Drone Patrol Team, Jiang Huai'an and Du Qingfeng knew very well what it meant for a military Electronic Smart Communicator to appear in Jiang Chuan's hands.
