Chapter 224: Li Luo Makes His Move
In the living room, Jiang Jiang Qinge, Cai Wei, and Yan Yan Lingqing all looked at Li Luo, who was sighing and lamenting, with rather strange expressions, wondering what trick this fellow was up to now.
Li Luo quickly reined in his playfulness, walked over to those Ban Cheng Pin antidotes, and said: "Sister Jiang Qinge, you really hit the nail on the head. I plan to 'add the finishing touch' to these antidotes myself."
Hearing this, not to mention Cai Wei and Yan Yan Lingqing, even Jiang Jiang Qinge, who was usually calm and rational, couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes, feeling it was somewhat inconceivable.
"Don't act recklessly. These are the only antidotes refined from the detoxifying medicinal materials we have left... and you should also know that these antidotes contain the Xiangli of other healers. If you use your own Xiangli to add the finishing touch to these antidotes, it will only cause the two kinds of Xiangli to clash and ruin the antidotes." Jiang Jiang Qinge's exquisite cheeks were filled with Solemn.
"You, as a Phase Refiner, should actually understand this very well."
Cai Wei's charming oval face also held some worry. Had Li Luo really been so anxious that he'd lost his rationality?
Looking at their gazes, Li Luo smiled and nodded, saying: "Of course I know that... but do you know where the Mi Fa source water I supply to Xi Yang House actually comes from?"
A trace of blankness flashed through the eyes of Jiang Jiang Qinge and Cai Wei. Only Yan Yan Lingqing seemed to have thought of something, and a look of surprise flashed across her coldly beautiful face.
"That Mi Fa source water... you condensed it yourself?!" She finally couldn't help but speak up.
Li Luo looked at her with some surprise, then finally nodded and revealed the secret: "Sister Yan Lingqing really understands me well. You even guessed this secret."
Yan Yan Lingqing's gaze lingered on Li Luo, as if she had seen some rare monster: "When you helped me refine the Spiritual Water Wonder Light before, I already had some guesses..."
"But how is that possible? How could you possibly condense the Mi Fa source water yourself?"
Li Luo smiled, stretched out a finger, and Xiangli gathered at his fingertip, finally condensing into a drop of Xiangli liquid. With a gentle flick, this drop of Xiangli liquid floated before the three women.
Jiang Jiang Qinge and the others stared at this drop of Xiangli liquid. Even without touching it, they could still sense a familiar fluctuation. After all, they had come into contact with the Mi Fa source water Li Luo had given them many times before.
The two were completely identical.
"Actually, this isn't too inconceivable. Wasn't I an Empty Phase before? Even though I later regained a phase for some reason, my Xiangli still possesses extremely strong inclusivity. I call it 'Empty Nature'. The benefit this brings is that my Xiangli can fuse with other Xiangli without causing resistance." Li Luo explained with a smile.
"Those so-called Mi Fa source waters are actually condensed from my own Xiangli."
In the hall, Jiang Jiang Qinge and the three women were somewhat lost in thought. This was likely the first time they had heard that someone could condense their own Xiangli and turn it into Mi Fa source water.
"So the Mi Fa source water wasn't left to you by Master and Mistress, but something you figured out yourself..." After a good while, Jiang Jiang Qinge finally sighed and said.
Cai Wei's charming eyes also looked at Li Luo curiously: "No wonder the Young Master always looked pale and shaky when walking after delivering a batch of Mi Fa source water, looking very weak. So it was because he had squeezed himself dry."
She hid her charming face behind a flower-patterned fan, and the smile beneath the fan was surely full of mischief.
Li Luo was a bit embarrassed and said angrily: "It's all because you kept rushing me! Do you really think my body is made of iron?"
Yan Yan Lingqing turned and draped herself over Cai Wei's voluptuous, graceful body, her delicate frame trembling as she let out suppressed laughter.
The corners of Jiang Jiang Qinge's lips also curved slightly. However, seeing signs of Li Luo's embarrassment turning to anger, she quickly changed the subject: "So you're planning to 'add the finishing touch' to these Ban Cheng Pin antidotes yourself?"
"The highest grade among those healers is that Qin Wang's lower seventh-grade Wood Phase. But I possess dual phases. When it comes to the healing power contained in Xiangli, I'm definitely much stronger than him."
"And these antidotes are actually effective; it's just that those healers lack the skill. If I do the 'finishing touch', I should be able to enhance the efficacy of these antidotes by a few degrees." Li Luo nodded and said.
"Although I don't know if the antidotes will be effective after I 'add the finishing touch'... but as you've seen, those healers have been stirred up by that Qin Wang and lost their confidence. Rather than letting them do it, it's better I do it myself."
Li Luo smiled and continued: "My healing level really can't even be considered half a bucket of water, but they've completed ninety percent of the steps. I only need to do the 'finishing touch' step."
Jiang Jiang Qinge pondered slightly, then finally nodded gently. Indeed, the situation was already like this; it was better to let Li Luo try.
Cai Wei gently patted Yan Yan Lingqing, who was draped over her, stopping her laughter, then turned her beautiful eyes toward Li Luo with curiosity.
Li Luo stepped forward, took out an antidote, and his expression turned solemn. Xiangli rapidly gathered in his palm. The Xiangli appeared in blue-green dual colors, with faint light surging within, making it look quite brilliant.
And Jiang Jiang Qinge and the three women could clearly sense a gentle power emanating from the Xiangli—it was the healing power belonging to the Water Phase and Wood Phase.
The dual-colored Xiangli rapidly condensed, finally forming a drop of highly concentrated energy liquid, which dripped into that antidote.
Immediately after, energy luster erupted within the potion. The potion boiled, gurgling and rolling. But to everyone's relief, no clash of Xiangli occurred.
After a few breaths, the boiling subsided, and that antidote had clearly become much purer.
Obviously, as expected, Li Luo's attempt was successful.
The healing liquid condensed from his own Xiangli fused perfectly with the antidote.
Just like the principle of his previous Mi Fa source water.
Jiang Jiang Qinge, Cai Wei, and Yan Yan Lingqing also clicked their tongues in wonder, feeling as if their eyes had been opened. This was truly the first time they had witnessed such a thing with their own eyes.
It seemed Li Luo's "Empty Phase" brought him more than just drawbacks.
However, they also knew now was not the time for joy. Li Luo could strengthen the antidotes, but if it couldn't neutralize the current poison, it wouldn't matter.
Li Luo was well aware of this, so without hesitation, he directly took a bottle of poisonous blood and poured the antidote into it.
The emerald-green antidote fell into the black poisonous blood, and an intense collision erupted immediately.
The emerald-green luster emitted by the antidote spread wildly, beginning to devour and dissolve the toxin in the black blood.
Li Luo held the bottle of poisonous blood before his eyes, his gaze fixed intently, his breath held.
A silent, fierce collision erupted within the bottle. However, as time passed, Li Luo, Jiang Jiang Qinge, and the others discovered that the emerald-green light was not swallowed by the black poisonous blood. Instead, after gradually familiarizing itself with the toxin's erosion, it began to counterattack.
The emerald-green light spread within the poisonous blood, and wherever it passed, the black toxin truly began to recede.
And then collapsed for thousands of miles.
When the black poisonous blood completely vanished, the room fell silent. Four pairs of eyes stared fixedly at the bottle. The black poisonous blood inside had now entirely turned into normal fresh blood.
The poisonous blood had been neutralized.
All four were momentarily stunned by this result, including Li Luo, the one who started it all... He hadn't expected it to actually succeed either. After all, he had been out of options and could only roll up his sleeves and force himself to step forward.
But it seemed heaven still favors good-looking people.
Li Luo Heavily exhaled, his gaze shifting away from the blood bottle to look at Jiang Jiang Qinge and the three women on the steps. A brilliant smile appeared on his face.
"Ladies, thank you for watching however many episodes of... 'Li Luo-style Miracles'."
The three women's beautiful eyes widened slightly. Even Jiang Jiang Qinge, usually so calm, had her chest rise and fall gently. And Cai Wei beside her covered her red lips, her charming face full of shock.
Finally, she couldn't help but embrace Yan Yan Lingqing and let out a cheer.
No one expected that the antidote, which originally couldn't overcome the poisonous blood, would, with Li Luo's assistance, turn defeat into victory!
With these antidotes, Xi Yang House's crisis this time could be saved!
Amid the cheers of the two women, Jiang Jiang Qinge also smiled slightly. The smile on her exquisitely beautiful jade face was stunning enough to surpass the beauty of a hundred flowers.
She looked at the youth in the field holding the blood bottle, his brilliant smile reflected in her golden pupils.
So she walked down the steps, and under the youth's somewhat startled gaze, stepped forward and gently gave him a soft, fragrant embrace.
She whispered by his ear.
"Well done. Here's a reward for you."
