Men are superior to women: the heartthrob in Yunqi

Chapter 156 Competition (1)

The gate of heaven opened with the golden key as promised - it was another sunny day.

The competition is scheduled for Si time.

Wei Wushang arrived at the Helian residence early to pick up Mu Yao, but was coldly told by Helian Yun that she stayed in Fufeng Garden.

When Helian Yun came back from the dock yesterday, he knew what he had missed and was depressed all night. Now that he knew that Mu Yao had asked Wei Wushang to go to Dan Pavilion for a competition, he felt even more depressed. Instead of being depressed by himself, he might as well make him unhappy.

He didn't know whether Wei Wushang had met Shen Chutang before. He was very curious about what expression Wei Wushang would have when he saw Shen Chutang's peerless face.

Fufeng Garden?

Wei Wushang went to the address given by Helian Yun and met two people who were about to go out at the gate.

In a flash, the situation became tense and ready to explode.

Before Mu Yao could react, the two of them had already exchanged palm strikes.

"Are you weak or hungry? Look how weak you are!" Wei Wushang sneered and raised his fierce palm wind to attack Shen Chutang again.

Shen Chutang dodged his attack with a teleportation. The palm wind sank into the courtyard of the mansion, and several eighteen scholars trembled and burst into tears.

“Wu Shang, stop it!” Mu Yao’s heart was beating like a drum, and her face turned blue and red with nervousness.

Shen Chutang glanced at the fallen petals on the ground behind him, and the coldness in his eyes spread: "Wei Wushang, you are looking for death!" He didn't want to confront Wei Wushang. After not seeing him for many days, this man's mouth was more poisonous than before.

Mu Yao raised her hands in the air, feeling awkward and not knowing who to pull forward.

"The competition with Poison Valley is about to begin. Do you still want to accompany me?" Mu Yao glared at Wei Wushang angrily, with a strong warning in her eyes.

Wei Wushang was the first to take action today. Shen Chutang finally gave up the idea of ​​hunting him down, but this man was looking for trouble again!

Wei Wushang glanced at Mu Yao and snorted coldly: "Just wait here for me to come back."

After he finished speaking, he raised his palm towards Shen Chutang's face again.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them leaped into the void.

The grudge between Wei Wushang and Shen Chutang must be resolved by themselves. And Mu Yao believes that Shen Chutang will not kill Wei Wushang again.

After figuring it out, she turned and walked into the garden towards the injured Eighteen Scholars plants. Upon closer inspection, she found that the taproots were all broken.

With a sigh, she rolled up her sleeves, cleaned the broken parts and put them aside to dry. She didn't have the ability to deal with the rest, so she had to ask Shen Chutang to come back and treat it.

Dange

Before the hour of Si, Shi Jingchan and his two fellow apprentices had arrived at the designated competition location as agreed.

The huge five-story building in front of me was torn into pieces, with more than half of it collapsed, and the remaining part also looked precarious.

The craftsmen are busy repairing it in batches. Such a huge project cannot be completed without a year or two.

"Is this Dan Pavilion?" Qingfeng looked at the ruins in front of him, stunned.

This was the first time the three of them went to Dan Pavilion to participate in the competition, but the elders did not tell them that they would be competing in the ruins.

"Young Master, are we still going in?" Mingyue asked uncertainly.

"Enter!"

Shi Jingchan walked forward step by step at a leisurely pace.

Xiao Jingxing, Yue Baisu and Xiao Douxue did not expect that the people from the Poison Valley would arrive half an hour earlier. After a few greetings, they led them to the Tongtian Terrace.

Shi Jingchan noticed that it was the old Pavilion Master's wife who brought Xiao Douxue to the Tongtian Terrace, which surprised him greatly.

Xiao Douxue was shocked by Shi Jingchan's expression and regretted letting Mu Yao participate. This was not a competition, it was inviting thieves into the house!

He looked towards his parents and saw that they were also looking at the young master of the Poison Valley with dazed expressions.

When Xiao Jingxing was young, he was praised as "the best man in Yunqi", but he was far inferior to the boy in front of him. He remembered that Dugu and his wife were not good-looking, so how could they give birth to such a fairy-like son?

"Master Xiao, I wonder if we can start the competition?" Shi Jingchan looked at the sky and asked calmly.

"Young Master Shi, don't worry. My son is injured in the fight against the snow. Today, my daughter-in-law will compete with you. She will be here soon, please wait a moment." Xiao Jingxing said with a smile.

Then he turned to Yue Baisu and said, "Why don't you go wait downstairs and bring your daughter-in-law up later?"

"Mom, take me down with you." Xiao Douxue quickly added that he also wanted to go down and pick up Yaoyao.

Xiao Jingxing glanced at him unhappily and said, "If I take you with me, I'll have to run one more time when your mother comes up. Just sit here and wait for your wife to come up."

"Where is Pavilion Master Xiao injured?" Shi Jingchan looked at him secretly and moved his gaze to his hand.

"Internal injuries." Xiao Douxue replied frankly.

After a cup of tea, Wei Wushang brought Mu Yao to the Tongtian Terrace, while Yue Baisu followed closely with a bitter face.

Except for Mu Yao, everyone present was stunned.

Xiao Jingxing and Xiao Douxue were very surprised that Mu Yao would come with a boy. Seeing the boy's big hands tightly holding Mu Yao's waist, they could immediately determine that he must be the husband of their daughter-in-law.

The twinkle in Xiao Douxue's eyes had long since disappeared, replaced by a strong sense of crisis and reluctance. This young man's face was not much worse than Shi Jingchan's. Why was there so many beautiful women around his wife? He had lost all his confidence.

Wei Wushang also looked at Xiao Douxue in astonishment. He looked okay, but what was with the bright orange robe? He was wearing such a fancy and coquettish outfit, he looked like a ghost!

Is it possible to be liked with such taste? He glanced at Mu Yao, his eyes full of confusion.

The moment Shi Jingchan saw Mu Yao, he finally understood what she meant by "see you later".

A low laugh escaped from his throat, and he stared at her and said, "I hope you are well."

Xiao Douxue was surprised that they knew each other, and quickly walked up to Mu Yao and said, "Madam, are you acquainted with Young Master Shi?"

Mu Yao was not used to him calling her that. She turned her head awkwardly, coughed lightly, and nodded. Her eyes fell on Xiao Douxue, and she looked at him carefully. She found that his injuries were much better than she expected, and then she moved her eyes to Xiao Jingxing and Yue Baisu.

She stepped forward and bowed, "How are you, uncle and aunt?"

Xiao Jingxing and Yue Baisu gave him a warm feeling. Even though their daughter-in-law didn't like their son, she still took the initiative to greet them and gave Dan Pavilion enough face. There was no other such a knowledgeable, considerate and eloquent person in the world.

Then he turned to Shi Jingchan with a smile and said, "Today, my daughter-in-law, the mistress of Dan Pavilion, Mu Yao, will compete with Young Master Shi."

Wei Wushang's face darkened. Is it necessary to introduce it so clearly? Who should I tell it to?

Shi Jingchan raised his eyelids slightly, stared at Mu Yao for a few breaths, took back the poison pill hidden under his left sleeve, and reached into his right sleeve, took out a mother-of-pearl box and said, "It contains one of the three most poisonous poisons in the Poison Valley, 'Pearl Tears'. If the Pavilion Master's wife can remove the poison today, she will be the winner."

When Xiao Douxue saw that Shi Jingchan was actually using "Pearl Tears" to detoxify Mu Yao, his expression suddenly changed.

"Master Shi, what is your intention in using the Pearl Tears, which is the only thing in the world, to detoxify my wife? How can you let my wife detoxify a poison that you can't even detoxify yourself?"

Xiao Jingxing agreed with his son's words. He asked doubtfully, "Young Master Shi, the previous competitions between the Poison Valley and the Alchemy Pavilion did not involve unsolvable poisons. How about you try another one?"

Shi Jingchan twirled his white jade Buddhist beads and pretended to be in deep thought as he replied, "But we never agreed that it's not possible."

Wei Wushang knew about Pearl Tears, a poison that would slowly turn a person into a dried corpse, a horrible death. He actually wanted Shi Jingchan to take out the "Red Dove" to let Yaoyao detoxify, so that he could completely tear off the face of the Poison Valley.

There is no antidote for the poison in the world? Mu Yao listened at the side and became interested.

A challenge gives this competition hope, doesn't it?

Wei Wushang had told her that there was no antidote for the Red Dove poison, but she had solved it anyway, hadn't she? This pearl tear undoubtedly aroused her strong desire to win.

The poison pill is shiny black, round and smooth, with a crystal luster on the surface like a siren's tears, exuding a deadly temptation.

Mu Yao put it to the tip of her nose and sniffed it gently, and a faint scent of Aconitum came to her nose.

The degree of fusion of this poison pill is extremely high, and the flavors of other medicinal materials have been effectively integrated, making it difficult to distinguish them clearly.

Xiao Douxue's eyes showed anxiety. He walked closer to Mu Yao, took the Pearl Tears and started to examine them together.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank sharply, and he said to Shi Jingchan in an extremely unhappy tone: "Young Master Shi, can't you guys in Poison Valley afford to lose or are you crazy about winning? You want us to dissolve this pill with almost 100% fusion? Or how about we make a poison pill and let you guys in Poison Valley dissolve it as well?"

"Okay, as long as Pavilion Master Xiao can afford it." Shi Jingchan replied calmly with a hidden smile on his lips and lifted his half-closed eyelids.

With Buddhist beads in hand, he was filled with a sense of Zen. His eyes were thoughtful and thoughtful, yet also revealed a hint of playfulness, as if he was laughing silently.

Xiao Douxue's eyebrows were heavy, and a rare murderous aura burst out of his eyes. It was not difficult for him to refine a pill with a high degree of fusion, but refining poison was not the main focus of Dan Pavilion, and he really didn't have a poison comparable to "Pearl Tears".

"Young Master Shi, I think your suggestion is very good. This will make the competition fair." Mu Yao interrupted him unexpectedly, and killed Shi Jingchan's words in one fell swoop.

Everyone present looked at her with different expressions.

Shi Jingchan paused, as if weighing the confidence in this sentence. He stared at the excitement flashing in Mu Yao's eyes, then smiled and nodded.

Xiao Douxue leaned close to Mu Yao's ear and whispered, "My lady, do you have a poison recipe that is more powerful than Pearl Tears?"

The warm breath sprayed on Mu Yao's ears, as if lighting a fire and burning her ears red.

She tilted her head slightly to the side unnaturally to avoid the burning air.

"There is a prescription, but it's not clear if it's as effective as the Pearl Tears." Mu Yao lowered her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito's.

She turned and walked to the desk, picked up a pen, wrote down the needed materials and requirements for the alchemy furnace, and handed it to Xiao Douxue.

Xiao Douxue looked at the list in his hand, his eyes lit up: "Madam, your handwriting is so beautiful!"

Mu Yao's handwriting was smooth, like clouds and mist, and had a profound artistic conception. He had never seen a woman write so beautifully, and the connotation contained in her writing was no less than those of famous families.

"Do you have all these materials here?" Mu Yao asked.

"Yes." Xiao Douxue nodded. Except for the "Beauty Bean" which needed to be supplied from other places, the rest were all in the remaining herbs.

"Dad, Mom, Yaoyao needs this ingredient, but we have to go to Liujia Town." Xiao Douxue walked towards his parents and pointed to the "Beauty Beans" on the list.

Xiao Jingxing frowned and thought for a moment, then said to Shi Jingchan, "Young Master Shi, I have to go to Liujia Town to get a medicinal ingredient. It will take an hour to go back and forth. Please wait for a moment."

Shi Jingchan could wait, even for two hours.

"Wait, give me the address and I'll go get it." Wei Wushang glanced at Xiao Jingxing and Xiao Douxue.

Weak chicken! It takes another hour to run to Liujia Town!

"What's this guy's name?" Xiao Jingxing had wanted to ask for a long time.

"Wei Wushang." He said the name coldly.

Mu Yao asked, "Wushang, how long will it take for you to come back?"

"Less than half an hour will be enough." Wei Wushang affirmed loudly, and did not forget to glance at Xiao Douxue again.

Xiao Jingxing was shocked. It only took half an hour for him to go back and forth to Liujia Town. It seemed that this person's lightness skill had reached the pinnacle and was definitely not inferior to Douxue.

There was a moment of surprise in Xiao Douxue's eyes, and he was deeply skeptical of Wei Wushang's words, but he still told him the address and handed him the token.

Wei Wushang leaped down and disappeared into the void.

Shi Jingchan's eyes were filled with darkness. He had seen Wei Wushang's strength in the Perilla Forest that day, but he had never expected that his Qinggong was so amazing. How come he had never heard of such a peerless master?

"Xiao Douxue, go get these again." Mu Yao gently blew on the rice paper with the ink still wet, and handed it to him.

Shi Jingchan narrowed his eyes and observed their interaction carefully. It seemed that Mu Yao liked Wei Wushang more.

There were some things listed on the rice paper that Xiao Douxue didn't know the purpose of, and curiosity gleamed in his eyes.

Xiao Jingxing took the list and looked at it, then brought all of it for Mu Yao in less than a cup of tea.

Mu Yao placed the materials on the table one by one. Among them, two ink-colored alchemy furnaces of different sizes caught her attention.

From the outside, the two alchemy furnaces looked ordinary, but she knew that they were made entirely of meteorites from outer space and had extremely strong tolerance to high temperatures, even stronger than the purple gold alchemy furnace that Xie Ci had given her.

She couldn't help but sigh at the profound heritage of Dan Pavilion.

Too extravagant! No wonder the auction prices of the pills flowing out of the Dan Pavilion are so high!

"Young Master Shi, I wonder if I can decompose this Pearl Tear into parts?" Mu Yao looked at Shi Jingchan and asked.

break down?

Shi Jingchan's eyes were filled with a lot of ripples. The cost of refining this pearl tear is extremely high. Did she mean what she thought when she said decomposition?

Seeing his hesitation, Mu Yao said with understanding, "I only need to take one-third of it for the experiment. Young Master Shi took out this poison pill to fight, you wouldn't be reluctant to give up even this little amount, right?"

In her opinion, even if the pearl tear was completely decomposed, it would be justified. Since she was willing to take it out, why should she feel bad about it?
