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

"If you win, you can choose mine too!"

Another disciple spoke up.

"Me too!"

"Count me in!"

The other disciples shouted at the same time.

They all looked at Ji Yunmiao and didn't even glance at Wen Jin. They seemed to have determined that even if there was someone who could restore the potency of the medicine, that person would only be Ji Yunmiao. As for the female cultivator beside him? They probably did it to give her face.

Wen Jin didn't care at all. He nodded silently in his heart, thinking that several people had said such things. He just felt that these medicinal herbs were obtained without any effort.

Seeing that the medicinal materials were about to be obtained, she was so happy! !

……

Ji Yunmiao and Situ Yuan were surrounded and walked into a stone house.

If Ji Yunmiao hadn't reached out and pulled Wen Jin, Wen Jin would probably have been squeezed behind by this group of people - no one knew who spread the news, but at this moment, the entire courtyard was in darkness, except for the area near this stone house, where everyone came with a lamp in their hands, making the house brightly lit.

The two of them sat cross-legged at their respective small tables.

Ji Yunmiao had an indifferent expression and kept his eyes lowered as he listened to Wen Jin speak.

Such remarks as "you look down on us" and "if you say you are pretty, you also say I am pretty" were all gossips that she had just noticed in the crowd.

Wen Jin rarely spoke to him in such a one-sided way, which made him feel very good, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved up slightly.

When Situ Yuan saw this, he felt disdainful: They are about to have a competition, and you are still being so affectionate?

"Compare what?" He spoke with a slightly cold voice, interrupting Wen Jin's words.

Wen Jin had something stuck in his throat and didn't say it. He gave Ji Yunmiao a look that said "you're the best", and then sat down with the disciples who were watching the game.

Ji Yunmiao felt a little unhappy at the moment. He raised his eyes and glanced at Situ Yuan coldly, and said in a calm voice: "The guest should follow the host's wishes."

With these words, some of the undecided disciples who were watching the battle immediately leaned towards him: So confident...

Hearing this, Situ Yuan took it a little more seriously. He looked at Ji Yunmiao and asked, "Determine the pill formula, and compare the grades?"

"Sure." Ji Yunmiao immediately replied calmly: "Which recipe?"

He actually agreed so readily... Situ Yuan thought to himself, he is now an eighth-rank alchemist and can refine some ninth-rank pills. Although the success rate is not high, it is still an extremely rare opportunity. Now this person agreed without hesitation. Does he know his strength and is confident that he can beat him, or does he have no idea at all?

But Ji Yunmiao is someone that the master has personally taught for two years... Situ Yuan suddenly thought that this also means that the second possibility is very unlikely, and if he is confident that he can beat him - so, he is also an eighth-level alchemist?

When the ninth-grade elixir was born, the strange phenomenon when the elixir's intelligence resisted would not have escaped his attention. Currently, he has recorded all the ninth-grade elixirs born in Medicine King Valley in the past two years. Each one has its own name and refiner, so he is definitely not a ninth-grade alchemist.

Situ Yuan thought for a while, then looked up at Ji Yunmiao: "Rejuvenation Pill."

This kind of elixir is a very useless elixir for people at his level, but it is extremely popular among many female cultivators in the lower realms. Occasionally, one of them would be sold at a price that satisfies them all - but they rarely sell it, after all, the spirit crystals they get in exchange are of little use to them.

Since Ji Yunmiao is an eighth-rank alchemist, he is not the kind of person who would take advantage of others to refine pure ninth-rank elixirs. He will compete fairly for this elixir that can be produced normally in the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth stages. The rest depends entirely on his skills. The elixir he refines can be exchanged for some spirit crystals to make some beautiful ornaments for his master - although he doesn't know why his master likes ornaments made of spirit crystals so much.

"Okay." Ji Yunmiao still said those two words.

To be fair, the medicinal materials are directly taken from the warehouse.

The moment Ji Yunmiao put away the herbs and took out the alchemy furnace, he heard a burst of whispers all around.

He looked up at Situ Yuan's alchemy furnace, then at his own: compared to Situ Yuan's alchemy furnace that emitted a dark red light, his gray alchemy furnace was indeed very broken.

But so what? This furnace has produced both the eighth-level and ninth-level pills, and it is still intact. How can it not be said to be a good pill furnace?

Situ Yuan's gaze passed over Ji Yunmiao's alchemy furnace and paused slightly.

"The competition—begin!"

The disciple who distributed the medicinal materials clapped his hands and gave an order, and then Ji Yunmiao and Situ Yuan threw the first medicine into the medicine furnace at the same time.

The stone house suddenly became quiet, leaving only the rustling sound of medicinal herbs being carefully ground and the occasional sound of the flickering flames.

Ji Yunmiao's technique is not ostentatious, but it is smooth and flowing. Although it seems plain, it is actually very comfortable to watch.

Situ Yuan, on the other hand, was much more high-profile. Not to mention the changes in his techniques, there was always a blazing fire in the dark red cauldron in his hand.

"Brother Situ's technique and flames are very beautiful, right?"

A female voice suddenly came from beside Wen Jin.

She turned her head and saw that the female cultivator who was sitting behind Situ Yuan outside just now sat next to her and turned her head to ask her a question.

Wen Jin looked back at Situ Yuan and nodded: "It is indeed very beautiful. The furnace is beautiful, the technique is beautiful, and the flame is beautiful."

But the fire summoned by his fire talisman is not as beautiful, and the person is not as beautiful as Ji Yunmiao. As she spoke, she added silently in her heart.

Hearing this, the female cultivator smiled even more.

"Your name is Wen Jin, right? My name is Meng Xuanqing."

Meng Xuanqing? Sounds familiar?

Wen Jin originally didn't take this person seriously, but now he suddenly began to think more...

I always feel like I've heard it somewhere before?

Meng...if your last name is Meng...

Wen Jin knocked his head, but couldn't remember whether he had ever seen anyone with the surname Meng.

Then why do you think of it?

She turned her head to look at the female cultivator, her eyes flashing.

"Have we met?"

she asked.
