Chapter 593 You're telling me this is a tomato that's been extinct for years?
[It's healed! My goodness, redwood is amazing!]
Hongmu has this medical skill; he could be nominally appointed as the head of the department. That's what I meant.
I saw a top-grade elixir! Hahaha, such a beautiful and delicious elixir, I want to eat it!
So what exactly are red berries?
Instead of asking here, you should go and look up the Compendium of Spiritual Plants yourselves.
You think I didn't flip it? I've been flipping for ages and haven't found it.
It flipped through the image and even recognized it, but I still can't tell what it is. What a mysterious spiritual plant!
I need help from agricultural and medicinal plant researchers. Could an agricultural researcher identify it? What if it's some new species of spiritual plant? Then you agricultural researchers would have another type of spiritual plant to write your papers on.
Okay, okay, so you've been thinking about writing papers your whole life, huh?
I've been obsessed with doing experiments lately, can we please not talk about papers? I'm starting to feel physically nauseous.
Conan: The red fruit isn't some new spiritual plant; it's the fruit of the spiritual plant tomato, also known as the tomato. In plant taxonomy, tomatoes belong to the phylum Angiosperms, class Dicotyledons, order Solanales, family Solanaceae, genus Solanum, and subgenus Solanum.
Tomato? I've never heard of this spiritual plant.
Oh my god, you haven't heard of it? I have! Our agricultural engineering professor spends all his time in class lamenting this and that, constantly talking about extinct plants. Tomatoes are annual herbaceous plants, and their fruit is a berry, rich in water and sugars. Their classification reflects typical characteristics of the Solanaceae family, such as bell-shaped flowers and juicy fruit.
I can recite it from memory. Fellow Daoist, wait a minute, let me search it up.
If you can't find it using image recognition, you can check out this paper, which contains image data of tomatoes.
Huh? Wait, is this for real? An extinct spiritual plant? Isn't that a bit too far-fetched?
You're telling me this one video is of a tomato that's been extinct for thousands of years?
I trust Conan, the expert. I've read most of his analysis posts; he's not the kind of person who makes baseless claims.
Isn't Conan a big shot in the data field? Why is he suddenly venturing into the plant world? Does he really understand these spiritual plants? Isn't this a bit too big of a leap?
I have no idea. I'm completely clueless. Is there any agricultural expert who can give me some definitive information? Is this really that extinct spiritual plant?
I think there must be a mistake. Putting aside whether Conan's statement is accurate or not, let's talk about these spiritual plants. I searched and found that they have been extinct for thousands of years. Suddenly appearing in the sect competition, I am more inclined to think it is a gimmick. Many extinct spiritual plants are not adapted to our current environment, whether it is temperature, radiation, soil or pests. Spiritual plants cannot survive without evolution and that is why they went extinct.
Even the Spirit Plant Research Institute can't simulate the original growing environment. I used to be a lab technician there, and I did many experiments, wasting a lot of seeds, but I still couldn't replicate the simulated environment for rice spirit plants.
I'm also more inclined to believe this is just hype. To think that tomatoes can revive so easily is utterly absurd. If tomatoes can truly recover, then let's bring out those Jurassic dinosaurs too; I'd really like to see them.
...It seems like we've got some results. I just compared the video footage, and it's not just 80% similar, it's practically identical.
Me too. I even showed my advisor the video of the redwood tree used tomatoes in the sect competition. He glanced at it, and without even thinking, immediately asked me which paper the video of the tomatoes was from, saying it might be useful as a citation in a review article.
:? ? ?
The world has become magical.
You guys aren't joking with me, are you? I have a bad temper and can't take jokes.
No joke, it looks exactly like the extinct spiritual tomato, in terms of appearance alone.
That makes sense. They look the same on the outside, but the inside is definitely different. That's counterfeiting.
I asked several agricultural repair experts, and the tomatoes should be genuine.
:real?
:real!
I'll wait and see. I'll only believe it if there's official certification or other evidence later.
I've already believed it. The Free and Unfettered Sect and Redwood are getting ready to upgrade to higher ranks.
After witnessing the entire process of Jiang He's treatment, Qiongmo felt a lingering resentment. Naturally, Jiang He's score in the final round of the Medical Cultivation Heroes Ranking would not be low.
Qiongmo never believed in Jiang He's strength, but now that he had actually seen the cultivator who had taken the money come back to life, the usually arrogant Qiongmo felt a little uneasy.
Things shouldn't have turned out this way.
Even she couldn't save him, so how could Jiang He have brought him back to life? The revived cultivator was there, and the screen recording was there too. Qiongmo couldn't deceive herself at all, and a trace of resentment arose in her heart.
Over the years, Qiongmo has never met or recognized Hongmu, let alone the Xiaoyao Sect.
Now, this nobody has suddenly emerged from the sect competition, and she has to admit that her medical skills are inferior to hers. How can Qiongmo remain calm about this?
In the past few days, Qiongmo has been frequently smearing Jiang He online, so she naturally saw the speculations netizens made about the spiritual plant in Jiang He's possession.
These speculations were so reasonable and well-founded that even Qiongmo almost believed them.
Qiongmo was both a medical practitioner and an alchemist, and she knew perfectly well how absurd and false the claim that the red fruit Jiang He had taken out was being spread as the extinct spiritual plant tomato was.
Extinct spiritual plants can never reappear. Since Jiang He actually used fruit to disguise an extinct spiritual plant, then she shouldn't blame her for being impolite.
Taking advantage of this incident, Qiongmo recruited another group of online trolls to promote the red fruit.
She wanted to make Jiang He understand that sometimes the higher you are praised, the harder you will fall. Since she wanted popularity and traffic, then Qiongmo would give her a ride.
The bigger the argument gets, the bigger the commotion becomes. When it reaches its peak, someone will be found to overturn this illusion. In this way, Qiongmo doesn't believe that Jiang He won't fall from grace.
Qiongmo could already imagine how Jiang He would look when the spiritual plant in her hand was determined to be fake, and her ugly side would be exposed.
What's the use of having better medical skills than her? Dishonest cultivators are basically excluded from the medical cultivation circle and other cultivation circles.
Jiang He's ambition to wrest the top spot from her is nothing but a pipe dream.
While viewers in the live stream were still discussing the extinct spiritual plants, the comments from the medical training room were captured and circulated on the Star Network.
The topic of the extinct tomato suddenly reappearing spread widely. Now, not only netizens watching the sect competition were discussing this, but even farmers who hadn't watched the competition were paying attention.
The agricultural repair community was in an uproar because of the red fruit in Jiang He's hand.
The spiritual plant that was supposed to be extinct suddenly appeared in this year's sect competition. How exciting!
On the StarNet, the majority of cultivators believed that the fruit in Jiang He's hand was fake.
In the agricultural repair circle, there are many agricultural repairmen as meticulous as Huang Mingshi. They are particularly interested in the seemingly real tomato plants and fruits in Jiang He's hands. Putting aside everything else, the shape alone is no different from a real tomato.
Many agricultural repair and research institute staff members privately clicked into Jiang He's homepage and sent her multiple private messages.
They really wanted to take a sample and compare the DNA left in the fruit and tomato.
In this way, the truth or falsehood will be clear.
From the moment Jiang He left the stage, her personal computer kept ringing.
Tomatoes are an extinct, top-grade spiritual plant, so it's normal for them to be rare and sought after.
