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

Liu Jingyao was speechless.

A few days ago, Ling Tian told him that Ji Yunmiao and Wen Jin went to look for medicinal herbs. He thought they were there to pick them, so he went to the medicine garden and the mountains to look for them, but he didn't even see their shadows. He asked the disciples in the mountains, but they also said they hadn't seen them.

Just as he was wondering, when Jie Guo came out of the mountain, he caught a disciple who was rushing out.

After asking, I found out that Ji Yunmiao and Situ Yuan had a competition, and the disciple was running back and forth delivering letters!

After asking again, I found out that they were actually looking for herbs that had lost their potency as test subjects...

Completely the opposite direction...

At first, he wanted to talk to Ling Tian, ​​but then he thought that Ling Tian didn't seem to have said anything wrong, so he waited outside the stone house.

He listened to the disciples who were talking around him about which pill was better, and looked at Situ Yuan.

"What do you think?" Liu Jingyao asked.

Situ Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and his confidence had actually dissipated by half. He kept his eyes on the two pills and kept comparing them, but could not come to any conclusion - because in his opinion, the two pills were the same, from the grade to the grade.

"I lost." Situ Yuan lowered his eyes. His cultivation and alchemy furnace were far ahead of Ji Yunmiao's. However, under such circumstances, he could only refine elixirs of the same level and quality as Ji Yunmiao. It was really that he was not as skilled as Ji Yunmiao.

Before he finished speaking, there was an uproar all around.

Meng Xuanqing, who was standing beside Situ Yuan, was slightly stunned and couldn't help but move towards Ji Yunmiao.

As if seeing what Situ Yuan was thinking, Liu Jingyao shook his head: "There's more to it than that."

He counted them and held the two pills in his hand. A faint blue-white light appeared in one of his hands. This light did not merge with the soft green light of the pill itself. It just rose gradually, and then diffused and disappeared in the air.

The crowd who had not understood what was going on just now suddenly realized which pill was better.

"The pill in my right hand is mixed with the power of ice and snow. After taking it, it has an analgesic effect while taking effect, which greatly reduces the pain caused by the bone-shaping and body-shaping of the Rejuvenating Pill." Liu Jingyao said in a calm voice: "So in terms of quality and effect, Ji Yunmiao still wins."

"Besides, you can't subdue your own elixirs by yourself, and you need others to help you do so? This is far inferior to Ji Yunmiao."

After Liu Jingyao finished speaking, he put the pills in his hand into two bottles, waved his hand and asked everyone to step back a few steps.

His eyes fell on everyone present. When he saw Wen Jin, who had been sitting nearby, his gaze paused and then quickly moved away.

"I'm willing to accept the defeat." Liu Jingyao put his hands behind his back, looked meaningfully at Meng Xuanqing who had moved a considerable distance towards Ji Yunmiao, then turned back and said to Situ Yuan.

Situ Yuan nodded upon hearing this and bowed to Ji Yunmiao: "I will deliver the herbs to the courtyard where you live later."

Hearing this, Wen Jin, who was still a little drowsy, suddenly stood up.

"No, let me pick one first. Do you have it with you?" She stood up and asked directly without any politeness.

Ji Yunmiao walked to Wen Jin very naturally and looked at Situ Yuan.

"Aren't you being a little too impatient?" Meng Xuanqing spoke before Situ Yuan could say anything. She saw that the distance between her and Ji Yunmiao, which she had finally closed, had suddenly become farther again. Her expression darkened for a moment, but soon she returned to her harmless look, blinked her eyes and asked.

"We must give Brother Situ some time to prepare." Meng Xuanqing said.

"No problem." Situ Yuan glanced at Meng Xuanqing, who was originally standing beside him but was now some distance away from him. His eyelids drooped slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking: "I do have two plants on me..."

These two herbs were his favorites. Their medicinal properties were lost due to some storage errors that day, so he always carried them with him and was reluctant to throw them away or put them in his own alchemy stone house. He was waiting for the opportunity to restore the medicinal properties of these two herbs one day.

As soon as he thought about what happened, his eyes involuntarily drifted towards Meng Xuanqing. Then he thought of her steps that had just secretly moved towards Ji Yunmiao, and pursed his lips.

"But..." He looked at Wen Jin hesitantly, and his finger touched the space ring with some hesitation.

But he didn't believe that two random people from the underworld could figure out something that he had been studying for a thousand years without any clue.

He was afraid that these two herbs would be wasted in Wen Jin's hands.

Situ Yuan touched a gem on the space ring and looked at Ji Yunmiao, hoping that as a fellow alchemist, Ji Yunmiao could understand the hesitation in his heart.

But Ji Yunmiao didn't even look at him.

From the moment Ji Yunmiao stood next to Wen Jin, he had been leaning sideways and looking down at Wen Jin, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Situ Yuan: ...

Finally, he looked at Liu Jingyao weakly, hoping that his master could speak for him, but no one did.

Liu Jingyao looked at him silently, with no intention of speaking.

Situ Yuan had no choice but to accept his fate and took out two of his treasured medicinal herbs that had lost their medicinal properties from his space ring.

Liu Jingyao stepped forward and took it, then passed it to Wen Jin and made a "please" gesture.

He knew what Wen Jin wanted to do and why she chose this place and time to test him. It was simply because this group of disciples had never taken her seriously from the beginning to the end. Now that Ji Yunmiao had proven her strength with a stunning success, she also wanted to clear her name here.

——To prevent some people from thinking that they can easily surpass her. Wen Jin thought, with a slight smile on his face, and glanced at Meng Xuanqing.

Meng Xuan stared at the medicinal herbs in Wen Jin's hand, her eyes dimmed slightly. She remembered these medicinal herbs because she heard that Situ Yuan had accidentally discovered two rare medicinal herbs in the mountains and said she wanted to see them. In front of many people, in order to maintain her own face, she boasted that she had a way to preserve the medicinal properties of the herbs for a certain period of time.

Although Situ Yuan looked indifferent, he would never refuse her face, so the medicinal herbs were taken out...but the medicinal effects dissipated that night.

Meng Xuan thought lightly, looking at Wen Jin: She wanted to see how she could succeed in something that the entire Medicine King Valley was unable to do!

"Eighth-level rare herbs?" Wen Jin looked at the herbs in his hand and said to himself, "No wonder I'm reluctant to give them up."

She spoke in a very low voice, but the mental strength of the people around her was extremely strong, so they noticed her words in an instant.

Hearing this, Situ Yuan's expressionless face turned slightly red: Yes! He just couldn't bear to part with it!

Wen Jin checked the herbs, raised his head and looked at Situ Yuan: "Don't worry, although it is a matter of probability to restore the efficacy of the medicine, even if it fails, it will not damage your herbs."

"Really?" Situ Yuan asked immediately without thinking.

Ji Yunmiao was somewhat unhappy when he heard this. He retracted his gaze from Wen Jin and glanced at Situ Yuan coldly: "If Ah Jin says yes, then yes."
