Men are superior to women: the heartthrob in Yunqi

Chapter 157 Competition (2)

(Added in the previous chapter)

Shi Jingchan looked at the cunning flashing in Mu Yao's eyes and fell silent again. Then he raised the corners of his lips slightly and nodded in agreement.

Mu Yao carefully took out one third of the pill and divided it into two parts again.

She used two methods to test the poison. For one dose, she used chemical analysis, adding other ingredients to it so that they would react with the toxin and restore its original appearance.

For another amount, she used physical analysis methods, melting it at high temperature and then extracting it using special techniques to identify the main ingredients used in "Pearl Tears".

The two testing methods took a long time, so after Wei Wushang returned to Tongtianding, her experiment was still not finished.

Xiao Douxue stared at Mu Yao's movements intently. Both her techniques and principles were things he had never seen before. It was like a sudden enlightenment for him, broadening his horizons.

It turns out that it can be used to detoxify! Mu Yao seemed to have opened a new door of cognition for him, causing his eyes to burst with unprecedented passion and persistence.

Shi Jingchan was curious about Mu Yao's method of detoxification, so he took a few steps forward, but was tactfully dissuaded by Xiao Jingxing and Yue Baisu.

"My wife, you are so awesome!" Xiao Douxue's exclamations were like a tide, never stopping.

"Be quiet. If my hand shakes, I'll have to start all over again!" Mu Yao couldn't help but move her lips.

Yue Baisu silently observed the two of them from the dark, and the more she watched Mu Yao, the more satisfied she became. Her daughter-in-law's temper and patience were really good, and she could endure more than she did.

Back then, Xiao Jingxing was a beautiful man with a dazzling brilliance. She was the least beautiful among all the suitors and came from an ordinary family. She was able to stand out completely because of her good nature.

For Xiao Jingxing, she studied alchemy halfway through and worked very hard. Finally, her hard work paid off and she was able to learn and become Xiao Jingxing's favorite.

Xiao Douxue, who had been spoiled by her since childhood, was somewhat selfish. It was rare that his daughter-in-law was so magnanimous that she didn't care about him.

Mu Yao sniffed the extract carefully, and deduced the medicinal materials needed to refine the "Pearl" tears through the components that reacted with the toxin.

She picked up a pen and listed the materials needed for the detoxification. This time she handed the list to Wei Wushang, then carefully picked up the "Beauty Bean" and began to make the poison.

Medicine and poison are inseparable. Even if she has never made poison, it does not mean that she cannot make it. As long as there is a prescription, it doesn't matter what kind of poison a master can make. What's more, she has countless poison prescriptions.

The poison that Mu Yao is going to make right now is called "Eye of the Beast."

This poison has a strong hallucinogenic effect. After being poisoned, it is like being in the mouths of countless wild beasts and being eaten up. It is an extremely strong mental attack poison.

The reason she chose it was because in her original 23rd century, there was no antidote for this poison, so she thought of using it to try Shi Jingchan.

This time Mu Yao's refining speed was very fast. Shi Jingchan was greatly shocked by her superb technique, and he could no longer suppress his admiration. Qingfeng and Mingyue looked at the young master's mood change in surprise, and sighed that their young master finally met an opponent that he recognized.

Green smoke billowed out of the alchemy furnace, and an indescribable smell slowly overflowed.

With Mu Yao increasing the fire for the last time, the task was completed after half a cup of tea.

She took out a silk handkerchief, wrapped up the two emerald green "Eyes of the Beast" and gently put them into the box.

Each pill is surrounded by a circle of beautiful golden patterns, as if weaving the mysteries of the universe.

Everyone gathered around Mu Yao, shocked by the "Beast Eyes" they saw.

Xiao Douxue was so excited that he asked, "Madam, can you give me one?"

He wanted this poison pill desperately, especially after seeing Mu Yao refine two.

"Okay." Mu Yao nodded.

Xiao Douxue quickly took out a snow handkerchief from her arms, wrapped it up quickly and stepped aside to look at it carefully.

Xiao Jingxing and Yue Baisu's eyes never left the treasure box. Seeing their son take the initiative to get one, they breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Shi Jingchan would eat both poison pills in a short time.

"Young Master Shi, please." Mu Yao handed the treasure box in her hand to Shi Jingchan.

The purple-black sandalwood box made her jade hands look as white as moonlight, emitting a bright light.

"Okay." Shi Jingchan smiled, and his tone became a little softer.

He held the poison pill under his nose and carefully identified its ingredients.

This "Eye of the Beast" is very different from the "Pearl Tears". Its medicinal ingredients are not concealed, but it uses the principle of mutual restraint and complementation, weaving a complex web that makes it difficult to start.

It is like the permutations and combinations in arithmetic, which contain countless possibilities.

An unprecedented solemnity overflowed from Shi Jingchan's eyes. He picked up the Buddhist beads in his hand again, but the speed of twisting the beads was not as slow as before.

Suddenly, he lowered his gaze, helplessly let out a low laugh, raised his eyes and said, "I have learned a lot from Shi Mou today. I wonder if you can let me take this Beast Eye back with me?"

"No!" Xiao Douxue answered quickly.

"Young Master Shi, Dan Pavilion and Poison Valley have never left behind a single poison pill in previous competitions. You can't break the rules. Besides, if one gets out and brings disaster to Dan Pavilion, will you in Poison Valley take responsibility?"

Xiao Jingxing thought it made sense and agreed with him.

Mu Yao also agreed with Xiao Douxue's point of view. There was no solution to "Eyes of the Beast". If it really caused trouble, even she would be helpless.

"Young Master Shi, I'm sorry." Mu Yaowan rejected Shi Jingchan's request.

Shi Jingchan was not surprised by this answer. He smiled and said no more.

Dan Pavilion won this round. If Mu Yao could refine the antidote for "Pearl Tears", the dawn of victory in today's competition would shine on Dan Pavilion again.

After a cup of tea, Wei Wushang and Yue Baisu returned with the necessary detoxification herbs.

When they learned that Shi Jingchan had not solved the "Eyes of the Beast", they both felt relieved.

Wei Wushang happily hugged Mu Yao and kissed her on the forehead. She was so embarrassed that she hid in Wei Wushang's arms and coquettishly nudged his chest with her head.

Xiao Douxue was so jealous that he felt the poison pill in his hand was not so fragrant anymore. He looked at Wei Wushang with hostility.

Shi Jingchan was now 100% sure of Wei Wushang's position in Mu Yao's heart, and he had some plans in mind.

"Madam, the herbs are all here." Xiao Douxue couldn't help but reminded her.

Mu Yao returned to the table with a red face and concentrated on making the antidote.

When she took out the two-inch long "Eight Immortals Grass" given to her by Zhao Qingsong from her arms, everyone present, except Wei Wushang, began to breathe heavily, as if countless thunders had exploded above their heads. They stared blankly at the magical grass in Mu Yao's hand, unable to recover for a long time.

At this moment, Xiao Douxue couldn't express the excitement in his heart. This magical herb might not be found anywhere else in Yunqi.

Mu Yao was so focused on refining the elixir that she didn't notice the reactions of the others. Just as she was about to cut off a piece of the root of the fairy grass, a hurried voice rang in her ears.

"Madam Pavilion Master, wait a minute." Shi Jingchan stopped Mu Yao's actions in time.

"In this competition, Shi admits defeat."

The Eight Immortals Grass in Mu Yao's hand was something that Poison Valley had been looking for. Perhaps this was the only one left in the world, so how could they easily cut off even a little bit of it!

He couldn't help but admire Mu Yao, who was willing to do anything to win the competition.

At this moment, he wanted to abandon the idea just now. Xiao Douxue was definitely very important to Mu Yao, and he was short-sighted.

"Are you sure?" Mu Yao was confused by Shi Jingchan. She didn't want to stop at all. With this magical herb, Dan Pavilion had a great chance of winning, and she really wanted to refine the antidote for Pearl Tears to prove herself.

"I'm sure." No matter what, Shi Jingchan couldn't let Mu Yao waste this magical herb today.

Xiao Jingxing, Yue Baisu and Xiao Douxue stood by Shi Jingchan this time and nodded in agreement.

Xiao Douxue was afraid that Mu Yao's hand would tremble, so he snatched the scissors from her hand and threw them off the Tongtiantai.

Mu Yao's brows were tangled, as if she had waited in line for three hours to buy something, and the moment it was her turn, she was told that the item was out of stock. This feeling - crazy!

"I am willing to give this bottle of Xuandu nectar to the wife of the Pavilion Master."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Jingchan took out a jade bottle from his wide sleeves and handed it to Mu Yao.

Mu Yao opened the green bottle, and a familiar scent of mint peach blossom water suddenly overflowed.

Its effect of refreshing the brain and regulating qi is as good as that of "Zhulu Pills", and it is extremely precious.

Mu Yao no longer hesitated and accepted it happily.

Shi Jingchan's attitude was beyond Mu Yao's expectations.

It is an honor to lose. Even if Du Gu lost, she felt that Shi Jingchan should persist until the last moment.

After the competition, Shi Jingchan gave Mu Yao a meaningful look before leaving, which alerted Wei Wushang.

He whispered in Mu Yao's ear again, "Yaoyao, do you remember what I told you before about the terribleness of the Poison Valley?"

Mu Yao played with the jade bottle in her hand, smiled and nodded in a good mood.
