I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Chapter 732 The Wisdom of the Ancients

[“You’ve even done the genetic testing? What other surprises does the Carefree Sect have up its sleeve that I don’t know about?”]

Wow, the rice paddies are already here! Does that mean I'm guaranteed to win the lottery if I go out and buy one today?

No, even if rice cultivation recovers, I still won't win the lottery. After all, I can't stand seeing others doing better than me.

The Free and Unfettered Sect has taken off! They have tomatoes, they have rice, and they're all high-grade spiritual plants. If Jiang He told me now that they also have spiritual manuals or alchemy secrets related to these, I wouldn't be too surprised.

You guys don't know how excited I am right now. I applied to the research group a month ago and still haven't gotten in. Now I really have to go!

It seems so. For agricultural cultivators, this is truly great news. Being able to access revitalizing spiritual plants is no different from a sword cultivator possessing a top-grade spiritual sword.

"Xiaoyao Sect, you'd better pack your bags. I'll upgrade you to a higher level right now."

A true "resource-rich" individual.

Seriously, at the beginning of this month, the biggest trending topic was Xingbo (a Chinese social media influencer), and it was all about rice.

It's bound to explode! You guys only think about agricultural cultivation, but actually, for other cultivators like us, the emergence of rice is more beneficial than harmful. Do you remember how rich the spiritual energy was on the ancient star?

I remember historical records show that when spiritual energy was just beginning to recover, it was incredibly abundant. Rice, tomatoes, and some spiritual herbs all gradually evolved from ordinary vegetables into high-grade spiritual plants. Then, during the nuclear radiation era, some of these high-grade spiritual plants became extinct.

I remember reading a journal article before that talked about the relationship between spiritual plants and spiritual energy. It basically said that spiritual plants, when refined into pills, can generate spiritual energy, and that spiritual plants themselves also release spiritual energy during their growth process.

Conversely, could the emergence of revived spiritual plants like rice have led to a resurgence of spiritual energy, making it more abundant? After all, the spiritual energy in our current interstellar environment is far thinner than before.

That makes a lot of sense.

That's right. Moreover, according to records, rice, as a spiritual plant, can be refined into pills or spiritual food. The Xiaoyao Sect also offers spiritual food for purchase. If we obtain pills related to reviving spiritual plants, it will greatly help our cultivation.

The way you said that immediately reminded me of something else, and I suddenly feel a little envious of your agricultural repair work.

You guys usually call us "bastard farmers," but now you're envious?

The emergence of rice means that the gaps in related literature over the past two thousand years can be filled. To put it bluntly, for you agricultural researchers, wouldn't that mean thousands more research topics, such as "the significance of rice revival" or "the genetic differences and characteristics between rice and tomatoes"?

Holy crap, this is genius, there's no way to argue with that.

Good idea! I'll call my advisor right now and decide on a research topic focused on rice.

I'll finish writing the review tonight; I feel like I have a good grasp of my graduation thesis.

This is someone who actually wrote a thesis.

Do you think your university only requires a literature review to graduate? Why do we have to write a thesis?

:whee

I am Nong Xiu, and I declare: Long live rice!

This live stream from the Xiaoyao Sect saw unprecedented popularity due to the appearance of rice, with the number of viewers in the live stream reaching five billion again.

As netizens have pointed out, Xingbo's trending topics have exploded, and among the many trending topics related to rice, one unique title has emerged.

[The rice crop has revived because Wanjue Academy got first place!] (Explosive)

A seemingly random comment inexplicably attracted a large number of comments, likes, and shares from cultivators, leaving netizens unsure which side of the story to follow.

The incident originated in the live stream. Initially, someone suddenly remembered a comment that seemed familiar, but as netizens dug deeper, they discovered that there was quite a bit of fun to be had.

As the comments scrolled by, several comments stood out with an unusually large number of replies:

[Hey friends, have you ever watched the sect competition? I suddenly thought of a really funny meme, I don't know if you guys know it.]

I've seen it.

The sect competition is so exciting! I watch every single one as a snack, especially Jiang He's competition – it was incredibly thrilling. Every time I see the part about the fusion realm, I get goosebumps.

Yes, that year. I remember one comment was pinned to the top and it's still highly upvoted now. I'm sharing it here:

"I don't understand. Just don't bet on any teams from Wanjue Academy. I recently saw a team called 'First Place Belongs to Wanjue Academy,' which is hilarious. They know how strong the cultivators from Wanjue Academy are. If Wanjue Academy can get first place, I feel like even extinct rice plants could be resurrected."

The matter of the Xiaoyao Sect's rice revival had already caused quite a stir, and netizens fanned the flames, spreading it far and wide to areas with abundant flammable materials.

The cultivator who wrote that comment never expected to become famous. She had met Jiang He and his group at the Venus Exchange and, feeling quite unconvinced, casually made that remark. Later, she repeated it several times when arguing with people online.

This comment remained at the top of the list, receiving dozens of likes every now and then. Netizens had long since blocked it from the backend. Later, when the hype died down and everyone was no longer paying attention, she simply restored the blocking function.

Right now, she was sitting at home gossiping about other celebrities when suddenly her personal computer started vibrating and kept buzzing with message notifications.

The netizen was terrified, thinking she had been caught doing something wrong. Only after logging into her personal computer did she realize that a comment she posted six or seven years ago had gone viral again. Clicking on it, she saw a string of replies below her comment, all dated today:

[I've come to pay homage to you, Prophet!]

Hahaha, isn't this a pure prophet?

Greetings, Your Excellency the Prophet!

I've said it so many times: kill the prophet first, kill the prophet first, kill the prophet first... but you just wouldn't listen. Now look what happened, the prophecy came true.

Seven years have passed, blogger, are you still here? You've become famous, and what you said has come true.

The Wanjue Academy won the sect competition, and then the rice crop revived. The most coincidental thing is that in the same year, the Wanjue Academy was also led by Jiang He in winning the sect competition. I wouldn't believe there wasn't some connection between these events.

I really didn't expect the comments from six or seven years ago to be so accurate.

It's not just accurate, it's practically precise; it says rice and it says rice.

Hahaha, I have to say, it really comes down to the wisdom of the ancients.

Wisdom of the ancients +1

Wisdom of the ancients +2

:...]

Looking at the row of comments about "the wisdom of the ancients" in the background, the netizen suddenly found it a bit funny and quietly replied with a comment.

[I was a real troll back then, don't follow my example.]

[The ancients are alive]

[Holy crap, blogger, did you know your prediction was trending?]
