46: Dispute 46: Dispute Editor: _Lunaelle, The_Dreamweavers Peter didn’t explain what happened there and went back to his hotel, closing the door and starting to meditate.
Although he had made it look easy today, in truth, when using the jade talisman, he had consumed quite a lot of True Qi.
He maintained the meditative posture throughout the night, and as the day broke, he had fully recovered his depleted True Qi.
His cultivation wasn’t strong enough!
The spiritual energy on Earth was too weak.
Peter realized why it was so hard for cultivators to be seen.
Recovering True Qi after using it was truly a tough task.
After taking a shower and opening the door to leave, he could hear that Bennett and Reuben were sleeping soundly in the adjacent room.
With a smile, Peter left the hotel and found a small food stall by the street, ordered a bowl of noodles and began eating.
When he glanced at the place where the fight took place last night, he noticed that most of the resentment there had dissipated.
If that building was not demolished, Peter reckoned that there would still be problems in the future.
Oh well, it was not his business to take care of.
He assumed that Master Wilson and others would handle it anyway!
Just as he took a few bites, he heard someone calling his name.
When he looked up, he saw Sophia Gibson smiling at him, and their classmates were walking towards him.
Sophia Gibson smiled and said, “It’s not early; the sun is already up.
Today, we’re visiting a herb cultivation base.
By the way, you mentioned wanting to buy medicinal herbs, why don’t you come with us?”
At this moment, Professor Smith also spotted Peter and said brightly, “Peter, we meet again.”
“Hello, Professor Smith.”
Peter quickly stood up.
Then Professor Watson came over as well, smiling at Peter and asking, “Peter, we sent someone to study the vegetables you prepared yesterday.
Can you tell us why they ended up like that?”
Both of them were intellectuals and were curious about things they couldn’t understand.
Sophia chuckled and said, “Professor, Peter wants to buy medicinal herbs.
Why don’t we talk about the vegetables on our way there?”
“Right, Peter, why don’t you come along?” Professor Smith joined in the invitation.
Peter looked around and saw that everyone was smiling at him except for Jalen Carter’s unfriendly face.
Nodding, Peter agreed, “Alright, it’s a good idea to take a look.”
After sitting down, Professor Watson continued asking questions.
Seeing the curiosity in Professor Smith’s eyes as well, Peter explained simply, “Different parts of a vegetable contain different elements, or should I say, the composition of the Five Elements is different.
By choosing the necessary parts, we can obtain the elements contained within.
Similarly, various medicinal herbs, when combined, will produce different types of drug properties, right?”
Like a primary school student, Professor Watson continuously nodded and said, “That’s true!
The properties of the drugs will differ, depending on the combination of the herbs.
However, those were just vegetables!”
“What’s the difference?
People eat vegetables to absorb the elements contained within them, don’t they?”
Professor Smith added, “You have a point there!”
Peter continued, “Both vegetables and medicinal herbs contain certain amounts of elements.
It’s just that vegetables might contain fewer elements, and their composition may be simpler.”
At this point, everyone gathered around to listen to Peter’s explanation.
Peter looked at everyone and said, “The medicine I prepared has only a few drug properties.
Once configured, it induces desire in people.
Since that is the case, all I need to do is find these properties within the vegetables, rearrange them, and tell me, wouldn’t they have the same effect?”
Both professors’ eyes widened instantaneously.
Professor Watson slapped his thigh and exclaimed, “That’s exactly it!”
Professor Smith frowned and asked, “There’s a significant issue here; how do you know which parts of the vegetables contain the strongest drug properties?”
This matter was related to his cultivation inheritance.
When he lacked True Qi, he used his eyesight to observe, but now that he had True Qi, he could use it directly to probe.
It wasn’t something ordinary people could do.
To be honest, even if he explained it to everyone clearly, it would be impossible for them to learn.
“Hmph, who knows if he rigged it?
Maybe he slipped an aphrodisiac into it when no one was paying attention!” Jalen said resentfully.
Seeing Jalen’s expression, Peter just smiled and didn’t say anything, continuing to eat his noodles.
Peter knew why Jalen was behaving that way, but was not bothered about it.
Professor Watson’s expression changed slightly, and he shot Jalen an annoyed glance.
Truth be told, after talking to Peter, both Professor Watson and Professor Smith felt as if a new window of knowledge had opened up before them, and they believed Peter’s explanation.
However, now that Jalen was openly speaking this way, and seeing Peter stop talking about it, Professor Watson was genuinely angry, regretting how he had failed to recognize Jalen’s true petty nature earlier.
Jalen didn’t realize the professors were already judging him negatively and continued, “Who would believe that a vegetable can turn into that kind of drug?
I didn’t think about that yesterday.
Peter, if you’re really capable, make another batch!”
After finishing his meal, Peter glanced at Jalen and shook his head, “Professors, I won’t bother you anymore.”
As he spoke, Peter had already walked away.
“Jalen, what are you doing?!”
Professor Watson was genuinely furious now.
Having a chance to discuss new knowledge with someone like Peter was rare, and yet this kid had to be antagonistic.
Many eyes were watching when Peter prepared the vegetables yesterday; how could Peter possibly sneak in any drugs?
Did they really think Peter would specifically drug them?
Professor Smith also said solemnly, “As intellectuals, we must be brave to acknowledge our lack of knowledge.
Jalen, you’ve truly disappointed us!” He shook his head in disapproval.
It was only then that Jalen realized the gravity of the situation.
Seeing the expressions on the faces of the two professors, he knew he was in trouble.
Before he could say anything, Professor Watson had already darted off and pulled Peter back, saying, “Peter, I apologize for not teaching my student well!”
Peter really didn’t expect the professor to apologize to him, and quickly said, “It’s alright, Professor Watson, I won’t go with you this time; I still have two partners with me.
We’ll chat next time.”
Seeing that Peter was truly uninterested in going with them, Professor Watson said, “Fine, give me your phone number, and we’ll contact each other by phone later.”
Peter had no choice but to give his phone number to Professor Watson.
