"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.

【Name: Small Jade Tripod】
[Type: Tool]
[Quality: S]
[Special Effect: Refining Elixirs]
[Minimum requirement for use: Player]
[Introduction: A high-powered alchemy furnace from the future, made with star cores and coated with divine tree resin, 100% explosion-proof, adaptable in size, intelligent fire control, 30,000-degree high temperature, 72 fire-based skills, intelligent alchemy, 500-year heat preservation, and includes 50 free alchemy recipes with a 100% success rate (any false advertising can be compensated 100 times the amount)]
[Note: ...Isn't this just a rice cooker with a built-in recipe? You're not treating it like a precious treasure, thinking it's some kind of high-tech gadget, are you?]
They really treasured it.
The 'Little Jade Cauldron' has three legs and two handles. The description says that it is made of some kind of star core, but it looks more like white jade.
It is completely flawless, with no patterns or inscriptions on the body of the tripod, and it has a faint white glow.
"Intelligent alchemy?" Li Qianxia lifted the lid of the cauldron and poured in all the vegetable juice that the three of them hadn't finished drinking.
"What are you doing?" Li Changzhou looked at her in astonishment.
Yang Qinglan laughed and said, "Isn't it a good idea to give it a try?"
"Don't follow Qianxia's nonsense, okay?" Li Changzhou said helplessly.
"Give me some more Snow Mountain mineral water." Li Qianxia bit her lower lip, her eyes shining, her expression as excited as a mad scientist conducting human experiments.
After pouring in the snow mountain mineral water, cover the cauldron with the lid.
Just as the kettle magically possesses a continuous supply of mineral water from the snow-capped mountains, the little jade cauldron also magically requires no external heating. Once the lid is closed, the inside automatically heats up, and the entire cauldron transforms into a piece of red jade.
Three seconds later, a wisp of white mist rose from the lid of the cauldron, and the small jade cauldron faded from red and turned back into white jade, indicating that the refining was complete.
"So fast?" Li Qianxia cautiously tested it with her hand.
The cauldron was completely cold, like a 3090 graphics card playing a game of Dou Dizhu (a card game), or like a beautiful woman lying in bed, but when you actually take a shower, you can only imagine it and that's it.
It's that simple, and that's how it is met with disdain.
Li Qianxia lifted the lid of the cauldron, and inside lay a bright green pill. It had no smell. When she took it in her hand, the data in her mind confirmed that her identity card considered it a game item and that she could put it in her backpack.
Unnamed: Vegetable balls, somewhat nutritious, filling and thirst-quenching; whitening and beautifying the skin; promoting gastrointestinal motility and improving constipation; preventing diseases such as high blood lipids, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar; long-term consumption by people in the 21st century had a certain life-prolonging effect.
[Note: Even pigs wouldn't eat this! (Interviewee: Xiao Yuding)]
"Brother, you eat." Li Qianxia, the good sister who always thinks of her brother, obediently placed the unnamed food in Li Changzhou's hand.
"I now seriously suspect that if one day you are brainwashed by a pyramid scheme, the first call you'll make to lure people in will be to me."
"Of course! Let's make money together! Qinglan, you're second."
"Thank you, but no need, I'm very wealthy," Yang Qinglan refused.
"How many?" Li Changzhou asked hurriedly.
Yang Qinglan thought for a moment and said, "You can call me Miss."
like!
It has nothing to do with whether someone is pretty or not, or whether they are rich or not. It doesn't matter if their legs are long or not. There's no special reason; I just like rich girls.
"Brother, don't just stand there, eat up." Li Qianxia thoughtfully poured her brother a glass of Snow Mountain mineral water, afraid that he would choke and not eat it.
Li Changzhou stared at his sister, putting the unnamed food into his mouth, like a good brother who knew the other was going to kill him but still pretended not to know anything.
"Hmm?" Li Changzhou took a moment to feel it. "The taste is not bad, and I feel a distinct warmth in my body."
“It can be used as a long-term food in the future,” Yang Qinglan said. “This cauldron also has the function of long-term preservation, so the cooked vegetable balls can be placed inside.”
"Wait!" Li Qianxia raised her hand, her face serious. "Qinglan, you can't trust my brother so easily. Once, we went to a barbecue buffet. To find out if the meat was cooked, I put a small piece on his plate first. He pretended it was cooked, and I ended up eating a big bite of half-cooked meat. Can you believe how mean he is? Can you believe how selfish he is?"
“Selfish.” Yang Qinglan nodded.
"Qinglan, don't look at me like that, or I'll think you're saying I'm selfish, haha." Li Qianxia laughed cheerfully.
Yang Qinglan remained noncommittal. With her slender, fair fingers, she took the small jade cauldron. For a moment, it was impossible to tell whether her hand or the small jade cauldron was made of white jade; the two were perfectly integrated.
She checked the built-in recipe (Danfang) on it.
This should have been the first thing to do, but because of her spoiled younger sister Li Qianxia, she first refined an unnamed elixir that even pigs wouldn't eat.
While she was checking, Li Qianxia started to comfort her brother—if she didn't comfort him, she wouldn't feel comfortable tricking him again.
"Brother, there's some vegetable juice that Qinglan left over in there. Even though it's been heated, you two still indirectly kissed. That's why I gave it to you. Do you understand how good your sister is to you?"
"I'm very curious now, what kind of image do you have of me?" Li Changzhou asked.
"We're definitely not going to let Qinglan get away with the leftover vegetable juice!"
Liking someone doesn't mean you'll become a pervert—Li Changzhou really wanted to tell his sister this.
But it's best to leave this topic at that point and not escalate it further. Otherwise, Li Qianxia might argue with him until the dormitory lights go out at night, and even ask him to treat her to breakfast the next day (based on her previous experience living in a dormitory).
"Stop fooling around." Just then, Yang Qinglan spoke up, "Look here."
