The Spirit Plant Track's preliminary selection ended, immediately followed by the official opening round.
Xue Rong brought out the second Spirit Plant.
Glazed Radish. The radish was translucent all over, as though carved from White Jade. The Spiritual Qi gathered around its roots was so dense it was visible to the naked eye, forming a faint white halo.
The referee sliced off a small piece and put it in his mouth. His eyes immediately lit up.
"Sweet, crisp, and the Spiritual Qi is gentle. It can be absorbed without refinement."
Xue Rong nodded.
"Glazed Radish takes two years to grow. It can be eaten directly or used in medicine.
"It is highly effective at regulating weak digestion and congested Spiritual Qi."
The third plant was Glazed Cabbage.
Its leaves were like jade, its veins distinct, and the whole cabbage gave off a faint fragrance.
Xue Rong said that Glazed Cabbage could be stewed into soup. The broth would be clear as spring water and could nourish the five internal organs.
The fourth plant was Glazed Pumpkin.
The pumpkin was as large as a washbasin, its skin orange-yellow and translucent. Once cut open, its flesh was fine and soft like sand, with a natural sweetness.
Xue Rong said Glazed Pumpkin could be steamed, boiled, roasted, or even eaten raw.
The fifth plant was Glazed Chili.
The chili was only thumb-sized, fiery red and translucent throughout, like a red gemstone.
Xue Rong said it was not recommended to eat it directly. It was too spicy, but it could be used as seasoning. Its heat was mild and would not irritate the stomach.
The referee took off his glasses, wiped them, and put them back on.
"How many varieties have you cultivated?"
Xue Rong counted on her fingers.
"As of now, sixty-seven.
