"But what should I teach you? I really don't know." Xiao Yan subconsciously touched his nose. If he really had a good method, he certainly wouldn't keep it to himself.
Wei Jiangyuan, standing to the side, clicked his tongue and said, "Don't know? Who would believe you? If you really couldn't do anything, how could so many beautiful women be so willing to fawn over you?"
"Yeah, brother, why don't you tell me about your experiences with your wives?"
Having been rejected the first time he expressed his feelings, Lei Jingxiao is now incredibly eager to learn and wants to know the secret to Xiao Yan's success.
Xiao Yan stood there pondering for a while, recalling the many experiences he had shared with Xun'er, Little Fairy Doctor, and Qing Lin. After careful consideration, Xiao Yan felt that he had indeed found a common ground.
Xiao Yan, lacking confidence, said with a hint of doubt, "Does that mean I can't take the initiative and have to wait for them to?"
"What?"
"When the woman takes the initiative, they seem to understand things better than I do; that's how I've encountered them."
"Hahahahahahahaha!" Upon hearing Xiao Yan's statement, Wei Jiangyuan laughed so hard he couldn't stand up straight.
"Lei Zi, did you hear that? Compared to the others, don't you think the solution I came up with is more reliable?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan helplessly touched his nose again. He really wasn't lying. Whether it was Xun'er, who was extremely close to him at the beginning of the Xiao family, Qing Lin, who was grateful for his attitude in the desert, or Xiao Yi Xian, who accompanied him in Zhongzhou, Xiao Yan didn't have any real romantic feelings for any of them at the beginning.
Instead, it was they who took the initiative to express their feelings to Xiao Yan, which ultimately led to them getting together.
Xiao Yan knew his words were unreliable as soon as they left his mouth, but he couldn't offer any guidance. He had never encountered Lei Jingxiao's situation before: falling for someone who was completely unaware, needing to express his feelings himself, yet the other person had very little contact with him and might not even know him at all.
After Xiao Yan finished speaking, Lei Jingxiao's dejection became even more obvious: "If what you say is true, does that mean I have absolutely no hope?"
At this moment, Xiao Yan took the initiative to pat Lei Jingxiao on the shoulder, thinking of a roundabout way to achieve his goal, and comforted him, "Zi Yan and Xun'er have a good relationship. After we return to Xingyun Pavilion, I will talk to them for you."
"Of course, if Ziyan ultimately refuses to agree, Xiao Lei, you should be prepared. These things mainly depend on fate, not on us forcing them."
Xiao Yan remembered the pressure from the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan on Zi Yan's shoulders, and naturally knew that if there was no outcome, it was best not to get entangled.
Lei Jingxiao nodded upon hearing this: "Brother, don't worry. Zi Yan is now a four-star Dou Sheng. Even if I have ulterior motives and try to force her, I'll probably get a good beating from her."
Hearing Lei Jingxiao's words, Xiao Yan and Wei Jiangyuan both laughed again. They knew, of course, that this was Lei Jingxiao's first time in matters of the heart, and they both hoped for a good outcome, so that he wouldn't suffer a major setback on his first attempt.
After discussing this matter, Wei Jiangyuan took out the prescription he had promised to make for Xun'er's health condition.
"Here you go, the prescription is. It hasn't been tested yet, take a look."
Xiao Yan took the pill formula in his hand, scanned it with his soul power, and read through all the information.
After understanding the overall process and details, Xiao Yan nodded in approval and couldn't help but exclaim, "Old Wei, you really are a genius!"
After agreeing to Xiao Yan's request, Wei Jiangyuan had been working on perfecting the elixir's formula, developing many ideas along the way. During his time with the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, he continued to ponder the final solution. As Wei Jiangyuan said, all that was missing was a sufficient quantity of a main ingredient.
This time, Xiao Yan obtained the Bodhi Seed from the Bodhi Ancient Tree, which brought his research closer to perfection. In just seven or eight days, he prepared the final pill formula.
"Considering Miss Xun'er's physical condition, the final grade of this pill should remain at the peak of the eighth grade, and will not truly reach the ninth grade," Wei Jiangyuan said in a deep voice. "Of course, all of this is based on the premise that you can perform perfectly. If you fail, it will be troublesome."
"That's actually better, since neither my teacher nor I have any experience refining ninth-grade pills. If we were to actually refine them, we'd probably have to trouble Senior Shennong."
Wei Jiangyuan said nonchalantly, "It's really no big deal. You've already given me the Bodhi seeds, and my old man didn't spend that much."
"Even so, there's still the question of whether Xun'er can handle it. If she can refine it herself, that would be the best. There's no time like the present. I'm in peak condition right now, so with a little preparation, we can begin."
Wei Jiangyuan nodded, then said to Lei Jingxiao, "Lei Zi, Lao Xiao is going to refine medicine later. Do you want to go and watch?"
"I?"
Lei Jingxiao hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'd better not go."
Seeing Lei Jingxiao's distraught state, Wei Jiangyuan had an idea and encouraged him, "Don't be so sad. I've already thought of a good way for you. It will increase Ziyan's favor towards you, which is something you're very good at, and it definitely won't make things difficult for you anymore."
"There's such a thing? Tell me quickly!" Lei Jingxiao grabbed Wei Jiangyuan's shoulder and said urgently.
"These past few days, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan has been searching for news of the other three Dragon Islands, right? Why don't you just go to Elder Qingmu and get a mission to help them search as well?"
"You're a Dou Sheng powerhouse, helping them with this kind of thing, everyone who sees it will thank you, and Zi Yan will naturally thank you too. Besides, you're very good at this, it's not difficult at all. Find the target, send the signal, and start the fight!"
Hearing this, Lei Jingxiao suddenly understood, and a smile returned to his face: "Good, good, good, I am indeed very good at this. Old Wei, Big Brother is right, you really are a genius!"
"You protect my brother well, I'm off now!" Lei Jingxiao also walked out excitedly.
Wei Jiangyuan and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly. They didn't need to worry about Lei Jingxiao's safety. The Dragon Clan clearly had no intention of directly attacking him, and even if they did, Jiang Yunyan had definitely prepared a backup plan for him. He might be in danger, but his life would not be in danger.
"Old Wei, do you really think Xiao Lei can find the three Dragon Islands?"
Wei Jiangyuan's face revealed a meaningful smile: "I feel it's most likely not."
