Chapter 2336 — Tier-Two Pills
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
When Han Jingyi reached the parking lot and did not see her BMW X5M, but instead spotted her brother standing beside a Grand Cherokee, she was briefly taken aback, then understood at once that Wei Zhao had returned. She ran over joyfully, got in, and took the middle seat in the second row. "Wei Zhao, you're back!"
"Mm, just got back today! How are things? Any progress on the pill refinement?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Ugh, don't even mention it—Jingjing gets a headache just thinking about it. Is Jingjing an idiot? I can only refine one tier-two pill a day, and then I'm spent, with no strength left. I have to rest a whole night before I can refine again!" Han Jingyi pulled a long face and said vexedly, "Even if Jingjing wants to use the scientific refinement method to make several batches at once, it never works, because multiple batches take much more strength, and Jingjing can't hold out—I ruined two whole furnaces of materials outright..."
"That's all right. So the one pill a day—can you guarantee it succeeds every time?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Mm-hm! If it didn't succeed, Jingjing would be a real idiot," Han Jingyi said with a nod.
"That's already impressive. An ordinary tier-two alchemist, even fully prepared to refine a tier-two pill, couldn't guarantee success—a fifty-percent chance would already be considered high!" Wei Zhao was a little disappointed, but Han Jingyi's success rate was close to perfect. What more could he ask?
"Really? Then I guess Jingjing isn't so bad... it's just that I don't have enough strength..." Han Jingyi sighed. "If I had strength to spare, I could use the scientific refinement method and make several pills in one furnace!"
"Oh?" A possible solution to Han Jingyi's problem suddenly occurred to Wei Zhao. What if he and Han Jingyi worked together—Han Jingyi refining the pills while he stood behind her, continuously channeling and replenishing her true qi? Would that solve the problem?
"Wei Zhao, you have an idea?" Han Jingyi saw his thoughtful expression and asked hastily.
"Mm, I've thought of something. I'll come find you tonight to test it out!" Wei Zhao said.
"Mm-hm!" Han Jingyi nodded happily. "Wei Zhao is so much better than Jingjing—the moment you're back, you come up with a solution. You're amazing!"
In the passenger seat, Shen Yushu pursed her lips. This Han Jingyi—was she laying the cuteness on a bit thick? She said all that without blushing. Even if she liked Arrow-brand Bro, there was no need for such flattery.
Han Jingyi sat beside Gu Mengyao, and Han Xiaochao sat beside Han Jingyi. Wei Zhao started the car and drove out of the school, heading toward the Xue Shang residential compound.
Back home, Wei Zhao first sent Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu back to the villa, while he went with Han Jingyi to hers. He wanted to test the idea he had just had, to see whether it was actually workable.
