Huh? Is it so easy to increase the male lead's favorability?

It was seven days later that Liu Jingyao returned.

He came to the courtyard to look for Ji Yunmiao, and before he even entered the door, he saw the warm tea held in Ling Tian's hand.

Eh?

Liu Jingyao rubbed his eyes, looked carefully, then rubbed his eyes again and hurried in.

He opened his palm and placed it next to Wen Cha, who dazedly took his hand and put it on top - but forgot that his hands were holding Ling Tian's hands! So he quickly dropped down on Ling Tian's side - fortunately, Liu Jingyao subconsciously grabbed it and lifted it up, thus saving his butt from disaster.

Liu Jingyao picked it up and this time finally believed what he saw with his own eyes: Wencha had grown four or five times larger than the day it had just hatched from the shell!

Growing up so fast! Liu Jingyao inevitably thought of something else... If he grows so fast... he can get some blood without waiting for adulthood...

Ling Tian saw that Liu Jingyao was staring at Wen Cha with empty eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he had a feeling that he was not thinking of anything good. He immediately pulled Wen Cha from Liu Jingyao's hands and looked Liu Jingyao up and down with a pair of eyes vigilantly.

Liu Jingyao's hands were empty, and he came back to his senses immediately. He looked at the two dragons, one big and one small, and his expression became much gentler: "Where is Ji Yunmiao? I have something to talk to him about."

"He and Wen Jin are both out." Ling Tian hid Wen Cha behind him and answered. Without waiting for Liu Jingyao to ask the next question, he continued, "It seems that Wen Jin needs some medicinal herbs for the experiment of the talisman he recently developed. Ji Yunmiao took her to find them."

"You're really welcome..." He treated his Medicine King Valley as his own medicine garden! !

Liu Jingyao was thinking about this, and couldn't help but think of Ji Yunmiao's medicine garden buried in the ruins. Although they were all ordinary herbs, he still couldn't help feeling a little heartbroken.

He nodded at Ling Tian, ​​took a last reluctant look at the two of them, then turned and left.

Seeing that Liu Jingyao had really left, Ling Tian seemed to be relieved and pulled out the Wen Cha that he had placed behind him. He pushed Wen Cha onto the stone table next to him and said seriously, "Be careful with him! Don't just follow him when he offers his hand!"

Hearing this, Wen Cha blinked, seeming not to understand.

Ling Tian touched Wen Cha's head and said, "You are still young and don't have dragon scales yet. When you grow dragon scales in the future, if he sees them, he will pluck out your dragon scales to make medicine—" Ling Tian lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Although you don't have dragon scales now, he can also use dragon blood to make medicine!!"

Wen Cha's little head was knocked against the table by Ling Tian's uncontrolled force. Upon hearing this, she folded her wings and spoke haltingly, "Then, then brother, you must protect me."

She stretched out her little hand, grasped Ling Tian's fingers, and said tremblingly.

……

"You said today that the new talisman you tested can restore the lost medicinal properties of medicinal herbs?"

Walking on the way to the rest area for disciples of Yaowang Valley, Ji Yunmiao turned his head and asked Wen Jindao.

In the small courtyard far behind him, Liu Jingyao set off towards the mountains.

Ling Tian heard every word correctly: after all, Ji Yunmiao and Wen Jin were indeed planning to find some precious medicinal materials for experiments - it was just that Liu Jingyao's understanding was wrong: he thought they were going to the mountains to collect their ready-made medicines.

"Hey! Look, someone's coming over here?"

One of the disciples gathered around the campfire pointed in the direction of Wen Jin and Ji Yunmiao and spoke to the people who were chatting together.

Everyone immediately looked over there.

"It seems to be the new alchemy practitioner that Master has brought in these past two years." One of the disciples narrowed his eyes and took a look. "I've never seen the female practitioner next to her before."

"Is that him? What is he doing here?" A disciple who was far away stood up and looked over: "I heard from Senior Brother Kong Qing that he is extremely talented, and Master wanted to accept him as a disciple but was rejected!"

"I heard that too, but I heard that he wanted to become our master's disciple, but the master refused!"

"what is going on?"

"But then again, he is very good-looking..."

As several people were talking, Wen Jin and Ji Yunmiao quickly came up.

The person who spoke last lowered his voice, glanced at the only female alchemy cultivator among them, and then his gloating eyes fell on the expressionless male alchemy cultivator at the side.

"Good evening, everyone!" Wen Jin took the lead to step forward and greet everyone.

When everyone heard the voice, their eyes all fell on Wen Jin, and no one spoke.

Wen Jin swallowed his saliva, glanced at Ji Yunmiao, and for the sake of his own talisman-making cause, he continued to speak: "Excuse me, are there any medicinal herbs that have lost their medicinal properties due to improper storage that you can lend me?"

"Who are you?" asked the disciple who seemed the most impatient.

Before he could finish his words, he received a glare from the expressionless man.

Wen Jin followed his gaze and noticed the disciple in black in the crowd: "My name is Wen Jin. I came to Medicine King Valley two years ago to seek medicine."

After she finished speaking, she looked around. Everyone was still looking at her, as if waiting for her to continue.

"I am a talisman cultivator. I am currently developing a talisman that can restore the medicinal power of lost medicinal materials in a short period of time. I need some high-level medicinal materials to conduct a large number of experiments."

She confessed, and after she finished she let out a long sigh, feeling relieved: Anyway, everything has been told, and it is up to them whether to listen or not.

"Situ Yuan." The black-clothed alchemist suddenly spoke. He stood up and looked at Wen Jin: "We do have a lot of rare herbs that we are reluctant to throw away, but we will not give them to you as test subjects for nothing."

Wen Jin nodded to show his understanding. After all, these medicines that have lost their efficacy still have many uses.

Situ Yuan's eyes fell on Ji Yunmiao, he raised his arm and pointed at Ji Yunmiao: "He competes with me, if he wins, then I can give you all the medicine in my hand."

Medicine King Valley has been researching this kind of medicine that loses its medicinal power for at least ten thousand years, but has no clue at all. Now a female cultivator appears out of nowhere and says she has a solution, but she seems to be a guest of honor of Master, so it would be unreasonable not to give it to him, and he doesn't want to let the medicine go to waste. In this case, he has to find a compromise.

If the master asked about it later, he would be able to give an explanation - after all, why would someone who couldn't even beat him want to get resources from him?

Wen Jin heard this and looked at Ji Yunmiao who had been standing aside. Ji Yunmiao took a step forward and stood three steps in front of Situ Yuan: "Okay."

Before he came, Wen Jin told him that the reason why there had never been any disputes in Yaowang Valley over the years was because of the alchemy competition, a peaceful form of competition in which the strong were respected.

They were all born in Medicine King Valley, and their starting point of cultivation was the same. In the later period, they focused on alchemy and neglected spiritual cultivation - because they were fixed in Medicine King Valley since birth. They were much stronger than the immortal cultivation world in the lower realms, but far behind the spiritual cultivation speed in the upper realms. So they simply lay down at this stage: they might as well study more on the only art that could compare with the alchemy in the upper realms!

This time when they came to look for medicine, they would definitely have to compete in pill making. Ji Yunmiao had learned from Liu Jingyao and Kong Qing that talented personal disciples like Kong Qing lived separately, while those who lived here were talented but had not reached a certain level - this Situ Yuan was the most talented among them.

His eyes met with Situ Yuan's in mid-air.
