Chapter 531: Chapter 215 Ji Xiyue’s Purpose

Ji Xiyue, upon hearing this, nodded slightly and then said,

“So it is. Then indeed, it is my presumption.”

Lin Jing, with a calm demeanor, replied,

“No matter…”

“If there is nothing else Ji Daoyou needs, I shall take my leave first.”

Lin Jing felt that there was something off about Ji Xiyue, sensing an inexplicable strangeness, and naturally wished not to linger, hence the suggestion to depart.

After hearing this, Ji Xiyue chuckled and said,

“Lin Daoyou, I did indeed come to you for a reason…”

Lin Jing then spoke up, asking,

“What is it?”

Ji Xiyue smiled and replied,

“I want to have a competition with you…”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing was initially stunned and then looked at Ji Xiyue, who was also gazing into his eyes, locking stares.

Though Ji Xiyue was smiling as she spoke those words, her eyes were incredibly serious.

It appeared she was not jesting but truly wished to test her skills against Lin Jing.

Lin Jing lowered his head to avoid Ji Xiyue’s gaze and began to contemplate.

Moments later, Lin Jing raised his head again to look at Ji Xiyue and said directly,

“Ji Daoyou…”

“I’m afraid I cannot accede to your request. During this period, I still need to make more preparations to concoct the Cleansing Spirit Elixir.”

“Furthermore…”

“I do not like to be disturbed when I practice alchemy, and unless it is a special circumstance, I equally dislike competing in public.”

Upon hearing Lin Jing’s words, Ji Xiyue nodded slightly and mused,

“Ah…”

“So that’s it…”

After finishing her sentence, Ji Xiyue pondered for a while and then added,

“Since Lin Daoyou does not like to be disturbed during alchemy, why don’t we try a different method and compete separately?”

Lin Jing observed Ji Xiyue, who still looked at him with a beaming smile, showing no sign of abandoning the idea of challenging him.

Lin Jing frowned slightly and then questioned Ji Xiyue,

“Is this competition really necessary?”

Ji Xiyue nodded, her face breaking into a smile as she said,

“My nephew may be no good, but as his aunt, I must reclaim some face for him.”

“Otherwise, if he complains to his grandfather about me not helping him, then I’ll truly be in trouble…”

Although she said this, the smile on Ji Xiyue’s face remained, showing no genuine concern.

Lin Jing furrowed his brows and after a moment of thought, finally said,

“What method do you suggest, Ji Daoyou?”

Ji Xiyue then said,

“Lin Daoyou are you not meant to help Yan Daoyou concoct the Cleansing Spirit Elixir? Let’s take the task of making the Cleansing Spirit Elixir as our competition.”

“I will go to Yan Daoyou and ask him for a set of components for the Cleansing Spirit Elixir. I will concoct one, and you Lin Daoyou will concoct another.”

“Then, we can compete in this manner.”

“Of course…”

“Our competition need not specify location or time, nor will there be an audience to witness. We simply concoct our own elixirs, and in the end, we shall see whose elixir is of higher quality.”

“Lin Daoyou, what do you think?”

After she finished, Ji Xiyue continued to look at Lin Jing with interest, awaiting his response…

The concoction of this Cleansing Spirit Elixir is not so simple; Lin Jing will inevitably have to enter the Alchemy Room in the System Space to have any chance of producing the Supreme Elixir that Yan Ming needs.

This is one reason why Lin Jing would not engage in a competition with Ji Xiyue.

For the Cleansing Spirit Elixir, Yan Ming has already expended too much effort, and since he trusts Lin Jing so much, Lin Jing would not wish to disappoint him.

Therefore, in this round of alchemy, Lin Jing would give it his all.
