Chapter 304 Give me 1 years
At first, the handsome young man Hao Jing was delighted, his eyes sparkling with irrepressible joy. However, he soon realized his loss of composure, and hurriedly adjusted his expression, trying his best to restore his usual calm demeanor. "Junior sister is naturally beautiful. I have come to your place many times, and every time I see you, I look forward to your arrival next month. But don't worry, as long as you have Wang Qiye in your heart, I will sincerely bless you."
Yan Mengwan got the answer she was looking for, and nodded slightly, her expression becoming more solemn. "Since Senior Brother is so frank, I will no longer hide anything and tell you the truth." Her voice was clear and firm, "In fact, I am 90% sure that I can successfully refine four fourth-level pills this time."
At this point, Yan Mengwan's eyes lit up. After Wang Qiye participated in the "maintenance" of the fifth-level elixir Zhuyan Pill several times, he skillfully integrated that exquisite technique into the maintenance of the fourth-level elixir, with remarkable results. Although he could not teach the method of refining the fifth-level elixir, he shared his experience and insights on the improved fourth-level elixir with Yan Mengwan without reservation.
Yan Mengyan spent 9 spirit stones to buy six second-hand fourth-level pill furnaces in the contract market, and then decisively began to refine the fourth-level pills. In the past few months, she has devoted herself to it, with remarkable results, and she feels very good about herself. At least none of the furnaces emit black smoke.
"Are you serious?" Hao Jing exclaimed, and his heart was like a storm. He couldn't believe his ears. The junior sister who had always made him worried and distressed actually had such amazing abilities.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. If Yan Mengwan could really refine a fourth-level pill, it would be a great opportunity for him. In this high wall full of power struggles, he knew very well what the support of a fourth-level alchemist meant. This was not only a symbol of strength, but also the key to making him stand out among many princes.
He thought about the difficult situation he had been in in the fight for the throne. The open and covert struggles and intrigues often made him feel tired and helpless. But now, Yan Mengwan was like a ray of light in the darkness, giving him unprecedented hope.
He began to imagine that after getting Yan Mengwan's support, he would have more say in the court and be able to recruit more talents for his own use. Those who once despised and suppressed him would look at him with new eyes. He seemed to see the day when he ascended to the position of crown prince, or even the position of domain lord. How glorious and brilliant it would be.
But at the same time, he was also a little worried. Would such a talented junior sister be targeted by other princes? Would they use any means to snatch her support? He had to find a way to protect Yan Mengwan and ensure that she could serve him wholeheartedly.
He thought of Yan Mengwan's feelings for Wang Qiye, and his heart was inevitably a little complicated. He hoped that Yan Mengwan could let go of Wang Qiye and help him wholeheartedly, but he didn't want to see her sad because of emotional matters. He secretly decided that no matter what, he would respect Yan Mengwan's choice. As long as she could bring him the support of the fourth-level elixir, everything else could be discussed.
Hao Jing couldn't calm down for a long time. He knew that at this moment, his fate might be about to change significantly. He stared at Yan Mengwan closely, his eyes full of expectation and determination.
"Junior sister, you have such confidence. You don't need to refine four kinds. As long as you refine two, you will be second to none in the Four Directions Region!"
After saying this, Hao Jing's heart was still in turmoil, and it was difficult to calm down. He really didn't expect that he would pick up such a precious treasure by chance this time. The Yan family really gave birth to a good daughter. He had worked hard for more than 50 years in Qinghu Peak, but his achievements were not as good as Yan Mengwan's. It really fits the saying "If you plant flowers intentionally, they will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will grow into shade."
At this time, Yan Mengwan lowered her forehead, with little joy on her face. "Wang Qiye has already started to participate in refining the fifth-level elixir." There was a hint of loss and helplessness in her words.
Hao Jing opened his mouth slightly, unable to close it for a long time. He actually lost his composure again. For a cultivator of the third realm, such a loss of composure was not common in the past hundred years. "They are indeed worthy of being the sons of destiny. Each of them is a monster!" Hao Jing once again praised in his heart, and this completely dispelled the last bit of doubt in his heart.
He looked at Yan Mengwan and said softly, "Junior sister, you don't have to belittle yourself. You are already talented enough. It's just that Wang Qiye is no longer comparable to ordinary people. We don't have to compare with him." Hao Jing's eyes were full of sincerity and concern. He hoped that Yan Mengwan could see her own value and not be eclipsed by Wang Qiye's brilliance. In his heart, Yan Mengwan has unique charm and talent, and her future is also full of infinite possibilities.
"What if I insist on going down the mountain after I marry you?" Yan Mengwan's words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a storm in Hao Jing's heart again. This day was destined to leave an indelible mark in his heart.
"Junior sister, you are actually going to give up the position of fifth-level alchemist and choose to go down the mountain?" Hao Jing no longer cared about his image and cried out. His face was full of shock and confusion. The fifth-level alchemist was the glory and status that many people dreamed of, but this woman wanted to throw it away so easily. Hao Jing's brain was a little confused. No matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out what Yan Mengwan was thinking.
Although Wang Qiye has not yet refined the fifth-level elixir, Hao Jing believes that with his talent, he will definitely succeed. However, the junior sister gave up this bright future and chose to leave, which is equivalent to giving up the precious opportunity that is already within reach.
A fifth-level alchemist is no longer something that can be found everywhere. If Hao Jing were to choose, he would think it would be a great deal to wait for three hundred years in the mountains as long as he could learn it. He really couldn't understand why Yan Mengwan made such a decision. What on earth was attracting her on the way down the mountain that made her willing to give up this respected status that countless people wanted.
Yan Mengwan nodded expressionlessly. Her cold look was like an iceberg, making it difficult to guess her true thoughts.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Hao Jing was filled with worry, and he kindly comforted her again: "Junior sister, you have to think it over carefully. Once you go down the mountain, you will have to rely on yourself to explore. After all, the alchemy skills of Lingxi Valley are second to none in this world, and the conditions down the mountain cannot compare to the good conditions here." His eyes revealed sincere concern, and he hoped that Yan Mengwan would consider it carefully.
"Perhaps if you stay with Wang Qiye for a long time, one day you can get what you want." Hao Jing tried to find a reason for Yan Mengwan to stay.
"Are you talking about cheating?" Yan Mengwan laughed bitterly, her laughter full of bitterness and helplessness. There was a trace of pain in her eyes, as if she was a poor person who was teased by fate.
Hao Jing didn't know what to say. He looked at Yan Mengwan's sad face, and his heart was full of pity. "No matter what decision you make, I will support you." His words were full of determination, hoping to give Yan Mengwan some comfort.
In fact, in his heart, he hoped that Yan Mengwan would go down the mountain. After all, Yan Mengwan was a rare beauty, one of the three foundation-building flowers on Qingzhu Peak. If the two of them stayed together and stayed away from Wang Qiye, maybe one day he would be able to touch her and get close to her.
But he was reluctant to give up the title of fifth-rank alchemist, and was caught in a dilemma for a moment.
Yan Mengwan thought about it and made up her mind. "Give me a year and I will give you an answer." Her voice was calm and firm, as if she was ready to face everything.
This is the time she gives to Hao Jing, but it is also the time she gives to Wang Qiye.
Hao Jing's eyes lit up and a glimmer of hope surged in his heart, but then he became uneasy again. His mind was full of thoughts, wondering about the various decisions this woman would make and how he should respond.
Yan Mengwan turned her head away and stopped looking at Hao Jing. "Ye Lingxi, show the guest away." Her voice was cold and emotionless.
Seeing that she had ordered him to leave, Hao Jing quickly stood up and bowed. "Then Junior Sister, I'll come back next month." His eyes were full of expectation, hoping to hear a satisfactory answer in a year.
Even if the worst outcome is the case, he must maintain a good relationship with the woman in front of him. It is possible that one day she will help him out of their old friendship.
