He appeared to be the first to develop an antidote in order to show off, but he had been constantly spreading negative emotions, and his current words even seemed intended to induce the other healers to give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young House Master, we are truly unable to help with this trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Qin Wang sighed and said, \"However, my master should be able to return to Daxia City very soon; if you invite him to come over then, there should be hope.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo’s expression was indifferent; by the time your master returns, this Xiyang House will likely already be notorious, and there won't be a damn bit of hope left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qing’e could even better discern Qin Wang’s intention to leave, and the key was that if this guy left, he left, but leaving at this time would clearly influence the other healers, and once morale scattered, that would be the real trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even she had no other options at this moment; after all, everyone had seen that the antidote Qin Wang developed had no effect, and this poison was likely truly beyond their ability to handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anxiety also appeared faintly on the cheeks of Cai Wei and Yan Lingqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the healers present were becoming increasingly inclined to withdraw under Qin Wang’s influence, Li Luo suddenly stepped forward and asked, \"May I ask what grade of Wood Resonance Master Qin is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Wang was startled, then replied indifferently, \"Lower Seventh Grade Wood Resonance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That should be the highest grade among everyone here, right?\" Li Luo smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other healers were confused, but they all nodded; Qin Wang’s Lower Seventh Grade Wood Resonance was indeed the highest among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo said thoughtfully, \"The final 'finishing touch' of this antidote—the higher the grade, the better the effect?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Wang was somewhat impatient and said, \"That is indeed one of the factors; just like refining spirit liquid and light, the more abundant the resonance power and the higher the grade, the more one can enhance the effect of the final product.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young House Master, what exactly are you trying to say? The poison affecting the Xiyang House resonance refiners is extraordinary and is indeed not something we can handle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo ignored his attitude and smiled at the healers who were backing out, saying, \"Everyone, this poison is indeed difficult to deal with. If you all lack confidence, I cannot force you, but I would still like to ask for one last favor: just refine these medicinal ingredients into semi-finished antidotes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once these words were spoken, the many healers looked at each other, somewhat confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does the Young House Master mean to omit the final 'finishing touch' step?\" a sharp-minded healer asked after a moment of hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo nodded with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left the healers even more puzzled; if the final finishing touch was not performed, these antidotes would not count as finished products at all, and their effects would be quite weak. Why was Li Luo asking them to do such an inexplicable thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Wang also looked at Li Luo with some astonishment, thinking that perhaps this Young House Master was so desperate that he had lost his composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I ask everyone to help one more time; regardless of whether it succeeds or not, House Luolan will provide a generous reward,\" Li Luo said, cupping his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The healers were full of doubt, but finally, Qin Wang let out a laugh and said with a smile, \"Since the Young House Master has such a request, and we were invited here, we must finish the job.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But let's be clear: after refining these semi-finished products, the Young House Master should not force us further, okay? After all, it's not that we aren't putting in the effort, but we truly lack the ability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo also nodded with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Li Luo had made up his mind, although they didn't understand what he was up to, they agreed. Thus, the healers continued their work. Because the final finishing touch step was omitted, the speed of development was much faster, and within half an hour, all the medicinal ingredients had been refined into semi-finished antidotes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they completed these semi-finished antidotes, Li Luo temporarily asked them to leave the living room and then closed the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the room, Jiang Qing’e, Cai Wei, and Yan Lingqing all watched him quietly. Although there was some doubt in their eyes, they understood that Li Luo was not the type to be reckless; he must have his reasons for doing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the gazes of the three women, Li Luo smiled and said, \"That Qin Wang has some issues.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qing’e said calmly, \"It is highly probable that he is a secret agent arranged by Pei Hao. One purpose is to keep track of our movements, and the other is likely to spread negative emotions and guide the other healers to choose to give up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo sighed and said, \"This white-eyed wolf is too cautious; he has already pushed us to this point, yet he still keeps such a secret agent...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qing’e tilted her head slightly, her dark hair sliding down the side of her beautiful cheek. Her golden eyes looked at Li Luo, a hint of anticipation and a smile appearing within them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Li Luo...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you trying to do with these actions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pointed her slender jade finger at the semi-finished antidotes and then said, as if joking, \"You didn't let these healers complete the final 'finishing touch'—could it be...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That you, this half-baked healer, are going to do it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Wei and Yan Lingqing also looked at Li Luo with surprised expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being stared at by the three women, Li Luo sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I originally wanted to interact with you all as an ordinary person, but today I feel it is time to let you know just how substantial my assets really are...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1406,"2026-06-20T03:27:23.471Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","0a9a66b8d26009c0ff6e1d4605eb72a7fb29763e42827763fc96ce2786a65741","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-224","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-222",999,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fking-of-all-manifestations-cover.jpg"]
