I flew on a sword at the magic academy

Chapter 27 Jingyue Lake Hot Pot Restaurant

"It's not a big problem," Shi Daohan said leisurely.

When she joined the Shushan Immortal Alliance, the sect leader Qingxu threw a large pile of ancient books and classics in front of her and asked her to study them on her own. Almost half of her skills came from her own study.

Kalman was stunned, and his admiration for Shi Daohan grew even stronger.

As they passed through the central square of the Horajaka Academy, they encountered a Libyan academician from the Quesang Academy.

"Greetings, Academician." Shi Daohan stepped forward to greet him, and Kalman also bowed with great difficulty.

"We've finally found you." The Libyan academician said with a dark expression.

"Oh? Did the academician need something?" Shi Daohan asked with a grin.

The Libyan academician snorted coldly and said, "What is it? I haven't punished you for what you did in the underground alchemy room of the Kuisang Mansion last time."

Shi Daohan: "Didn't the academy already add two new rules? Isn't this a punishment?"

Libyan academician: "The two new rules are meant to prevent you from repeating the offense; how can they be considered punishment?"

He glanced at Shi Daohan with annoyance, then turned his gaze to Kalman.

[He's gained that unique aura of Eastern cultivators; it seems Kalman has already begun practicing what they call Eastern immortal techniques.] The Libyan academician thought to himself.

Seeing their students at the Horajaka Academy being abducted to study other people's things, the Libyan academician felt somewhat resentful.

But he also knew that Shi Daohan was helping Kalman, so he didn't make things difficult for him.

"Considering that you did not cause any casualties, I will punish you by making you restore the alchemy room to its original state," the Libyan academician said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he added, "You cannot use any magic or your Eastern immortal arts; you must personally repaint and renovate the alchemy room."

Shi Daohan was about to say it was a trivial matter, but when he heard the Libyan academician's second half of the sentence, his face immediately fell.

"Don't look so pitiful. This punishment isn't actually that severe; it's just meant to teach you a lesson. This afternoon, none of the grades in the Kuisang Academy will need the alchemy room. If you're free, you can go and paint there first." The Libyan academician said this before leaving.

"Sigh~ It looks like I'll be busy for the next few days." Shi Daohan deflated like a punctured balloon, her good mood vanishing instantly.

"Master, should we go have lunch first or take these books back?" Kalman asked in a low voice.

"Let's take the book back first. Then we won't need to go to the cafeteria anymore. I'm going to cook myself a good meal!"

"Is it going to be hot pot again?" Kalman was a little scared.

Shi Daohan glanced back at him: "Last time, the spiritual energy you absorbed couldn't circulate in your body because your internal energy channels weren't open. Now that your energy channels are fully open, what are you afraid of? Eat as much as you want!"

At this point, Shi Daohan's cunning eyes darted around, and he thought of another way.

"Here, give me the book."

Shi Daohan took the book from Kalman's hand and then whispered a few words in his ear.

"Oh? Isn't that inappropriate? Last time..."

"Hey, this time I'll use regular ingredients, it definitely won't be like last time. Just do as I say."

And so, Kalman arrived alone at the central square of Horagaka Academy.

"Look how amazing I am, everyone!"

His shout drew the attention of students from all grades.

"Isn't that Kalman from the Pearson family? What's he up to?"

Amidst the attention of the crowd, Kalman strode confidently to a large tree, rolled up his sleeves, and hugged the trunk. With a loud shout, the tree trembled and was about to be uprooted by him.

"Wow, that's incredibly strong!"

"My God, when did Kalman become so amazing?! He can even uproot such a huge tree!"

Amidst gasps of surprise from the crowd, Kalman actually uprooted the large tree, then swung it around in his arms a few times, looking quite impressive.

"Kalman, when did you become so amazing?"

"Did you use some kind of power-type magic?"

Kalman put the large tree down, his head held high with a smug look on his face, and said, "I didn't use any magic; I uprooted this tree entirely by my own strength!"

"Are you born with superhuman strength?"

Some people were surprised and doubtful, saying that Kalman's thin arms and legs did not look like he had been born with superhuman strength.

Kalman shook his head and said, "Last time in the underground alchemy room of the Kuisang Mansion, after I ate that Eastern exchange student's hotpot, I felt full of power. Now, let alone this big tree, I could smash a rock weighing several thousand kilograms with one punch!"

Surrounded by admirers, Kalman slowly recounted the sensations and changes in her body after eating hot pot.

However, the people around them all looked suspicious, because as far as they knew, all the freshmen in the Kuisang Academy had eaten the hot pot that the Eastern exchange student had prepared, and as a result, they were all poisoned, with Kalman being the most seriously affected.

"That's not poisoning, it's a process of change in the body. It's just that the professors and academicians at the Kuisang Academy don't understand, so they think it's poisoning," Kalman explained earnestly.

To completely convince these people, he strode to a massive boulder weighing a thousand pounds, gathered his spiritual power in his fist, and then unleashed a powerful punch.

"Bang!"

With a loud explosion, the massive boulder, weighing thousands of pounds, shattered into pieces on the spot, shocking everyone present.

Everyone was dumbfounded, unable to believe what they were seeing.

"Now you believe me, right? Hot pot isn't poison, it's a medicinal soup even more potent than magic potions!" Kalman turned to look at the crowd.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Shi Daohan, who was standing at a distance, quickly stepped forward and came to Kalman's side.

"You all saw it just now, right? The hot pot I made isn't poison, but a miraculous tonic that's incredibly nourishing! Don't you all want to become as strong and powerful as Kalman?!"

Seeing the envy and longing in the students' eyes, Shi Daohan spoke with great passion.

"Yes!" someone shouted first.

Then came the second, the third...

"I want to eat hot pot too!"

"Junior Daohan, how can we get to eat your hot pot?"

Upon witnessing Kalman's transformation, the students' eyes were filled with fervor.

"No need for tomorrow, no need for the day after tomorrow, today at noon, Jingyue Lake Hot Pot Restaurant is officially open! The first 100 people to arrive can enjoy a free meal. All seniors and juniors are welcome to come and support us!" Shi Daohan announced loudly.

"Junior Daohan, if I eat your hotpot, will I really become like Kalman, able to smash a thousand-pound boulder with a single punch?"

This is a question on everyone's mind.

Shi Daohan shook his head slightly and said, "Kalman is able to exert a thousand pounds of strength with a flick of his wrist because he has cultivated the lineage of my Eastern Xuanmen. You have not crossed that threshold, so naturally you cannot be like him."

Upon hearing this, everyone showed signs of disappointment.

"What? It was just hype. I thought her hot pot was really that amazing," someone muttered.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Shi Daohan was not surprised. She cleared her throat and said, "The ingredients I have chosen are not ordinary. Although they will not make you strong enough to lift a thousand pounds, they will have the effects of strengthening the body and maintaining a youthful appearance."

Upon hearing the words "preserving youth and maintaining beauty," all the female students present had their eyes sparkle with delight.

Which woman doesn't want to stay young forever?

The phrase "preserving youth and maintaining beauty" holds immense appeal and allure for them.

"I guarantee that after eating my hotpot, men will become more handsome and women will become more beautiful!"

In this way, even before the Shidaohan Hot Pot Restaurant opened, it had already generated buzz and piqued the interest of all the students in the square.

……

Meanwhile, inside the cafeteria of Horajaka College, Libya looked at the empty cafeteria with surprise.

"What's going on? Don't the students need to eat lunch today?"

"Academician Libya, are none of your students from the Kuisang Academy here?" Professor Ruolan from the Bixici Academy walked over, her face also showing surprise and doubt, because none of her students were in the cafeteria either.

The Libyan academician shook his head: "I'm wondering the same thing. It's already noon, and there isn't a single student in the cafeteria."

"They've all gone to Jingyue Lake." Academician Daniel walked over from not far away.

"Jingyue Lake? Isn't that the residence of that exchange student from the East?" The Libyan academician felt that something was amiss when he thought of Shi Daohan.

"This exchange student is really something else. She opened a hot pot restaurant by Jingyue Lake and attracted all the students in the college there. Just now, one of the students came over to me to borrow money," Academician Daniel said with a wry smile.

"Hot pot again!"

The Libyan academician stood up abruptly, his brow furrowed. "Her food isn't ordinary. She might be fine eating it, but the students in our academy are different; they'll have problems if they eat it! It already happened once in the alchemy lab, and she still dares to do it again!"

With a dark expression, he turned and walked out of the cafeteria.

"Libyan Academician, where are you going?" Academician Daniel asked.

"Where else can I go! I'm going to smash up her hot pot restaurant! I can't let her poison the students in my college like this!" Libya said without turning his head.

Upon hearing this, Academician Daniel and Professor Ruolan were startled and quickly stopped him.

Academician Daniel explained, "I had already consulted with Shi Daohan before I came. Although the ingredients she chose are also extraordinary, their medicinal effects are all within the students' tolerance. Not only will they not cause any harm, but they will also have the effects of strengthening the body and maintaining beauty. I just asked a student to buy some for me."

Like the female students, Professor Ruolan's eyes lit up upon hearing the words "[preserving youth and beauty]": "It can preserve youth and beauty? Is that true?"

"After all, these aren't ordinary ingredients, so they shouldn't be fake." Academician Daniel wasn't entirely sure either, since he hadn't tried them himself and didn't dare to make a direct guarantee.

"I want to buy one and try it too!" Professor Ruolan was already quite impatient.

"Professor Ruolan, how come you also..." Professor Libya looked helpless, not expecting that Professor Ruolan had also sided with Shi Daohan.

"Anyway, it won't cause any harm, so let's just let her be for now," Academician Daniel advised with a smile.

The Libyan academician, his face grim, said, "I'll only know if it's harmful after seeing it for myself!"

"Okay, let's go try it now and see if this magical hot pot is harmful or not." Professor Ruolan was already itching to try it and immediately ran out of the cafeteria.

As they left the cafeteria, they saw many students hurrying towards Jingyue Lake.

After hearing about the amazing effects of Shi Daohan's hot pot, almost all the students were tempted.

"Everyone, go back to the cafeteria and eat properly!"

The Libyan academician, with a stern face, shouted angrily, waved his magic wand, and as he chanted the incantation, the group of students who were on their way ahead were all teleported into the cafeteria.

"This exchange student is always busy. Since she came to our Horajaka College, there hasn't been a single peaceful day!" The Libyan academician had a low opinion of Shi Daohan and a very bad impression of her; one could say he disliked her very much.

At this moment, the area in front of Jingyue Lake was bustling with activity.

A luxurious and magnificent ship was moored on the lakeside. It had three decks, and the top deck was already full of people, making a lively and bustling noise.

"Add all the ingredients you can! I have plenty of money!"

"Hey... give those of you in front a little less, or there won't be any for the rest of us!"

With various voices rising and falling, Shi Daohan and Kalman were both quite busy.

"I don't care about you guys, I was here first, and I'm going to eat all of these ingredients!"

"Yeah, the first 100 people get to eat for free anyway, wouldn't it be a waste not to try them all?"

The students who arrived at Jingyue Lake first were all gloating and teasing.

They sat in small groups around tables, with steaming pots in front of them. Various colorful ingredients bobbed in the boiling water, and their aroma wafted far and wide, making the students waiting in line behind them drool.

"Don't worry, everyone, I guarantee you'll all have a great meal today!" Shi Daohan said, busy preparing various ingredients and collecting money, while also reassuring the students who were still queuing up and hadn't been served yet.

Her hot pot restaurant is modeled after a buffet restaurant. For a fee of one hundred magic stones, you can eat as much of the ingredients in the restaurant as you want, as long as you don't waste any.

Of course, the ingredients she prepared were all spiritual herbs with weak spiritual power and the flesh and blood of low-level demonic beasts, which were completely within the students' tolerance range and would not cause any harm to their bodies.

It can also cleanse impurities from their bodies, achieving the effects of strengthening the body, maintaining youthful appearance, and nourishing the skin.
