After all, they all knew in their hearts that entering the Dark Cave to perform purification missions was only a matter of time, and being able to increase their strength by even a little now would provide more security once they entered the Dark Cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having finished his cultivation, Li Luo walked from the underground training room to the first-floor dining area, where he saw Bai Meng had filled the table with delicious food. The young girl had a slender figure, and the calves exposed beneath her dress were like jade lotus roots—fair and smooth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain, is your cultivation finished? I bought these meals from the cafeteria.\" Seeing Li Luo walk out, Bai Meng’s peach-blossom eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on her pure and moving face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How virtuous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo exclaimed, walking over to the table to sit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Meng sat down opposite him. Li Luo smiled, took an exquisite little bottle from his robe—the bottle contained an unknown liquid—and placed it in front of Bai Meng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain, are you giving me a gift?\" Bai Meng asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo picked up a strand of golden roasted meat with his fingers, stuffed it into his mouth, and said casually, \"Try drinking a drop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Meng was a bit puzzled, but then she seemed to think of something; her peach-blossom eyes widened slightly. She stared at Li Luo for a few seconds, then carefully squeezed a drop of liquid from the small bottle and let it fall into her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, the expression on Bai Meng’s pretty face froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, she said with a trembling voice, \"This is... a sweet taste?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo nodded with a smile and said, \"Didn't I tell you before? I had a sudden inspiration regarding treating your sense of taste, so I concocted a bottle of 'taste water' over the last two days. As you guessed, this is a sweet taste. Once I become more proficient in the future, I should be able to let you taste sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy. By then, your sense of taste might be almost completely recovered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Meng stared blankly at the inconspicuous little bottle in her hand, then gripped it tightly, as if it were something incredibly precious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain, thank you.\" Bai Meng’s low voice came through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo waved his hand nonchalantly, just about to say something, when he noticed the girl in front of him had her head lowered, her eyes red, and bean-sized tears rolling down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo felt a bit awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, footsteps came from the stairs, and Xin Fu walked down slowly. However, when he saw Bai Meng sitting in front of Li Luo with her head down, shedding tears and looking very sad, his footsteps suddenly stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, countless scenarios of love and hate flashed through his mind, finally settling on Li Luo’s face, which seemed to have two words written on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scumbag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, \"Should I not be here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo rolled his eyes at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Meng also hurriedly wiped the tears from her cheeks, feeling a bit embarrassed, her face flushed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mengmeng, I said I would definitely cure your taste problem, so you should have confidence in me,\" Li Luo said with great understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, we are classmates and partners with a deep bond; even if I have to forgo sleep and food for your sake, it is worth it,\" Li Luo sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Meng first carefully put the little bottle away, then gave Li Luo a sweet smile: \"Captain, I haven't been lazy in my research on Spirit Water and Light formulas either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo waved his hand, took a sip from his water glass, and said calmly, \"These are small matters compared to the friendship between us. Don't overwork yourself; just take it slow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Meng nodded and said, \"The Spirit Water and Light formula I am researching this time is one I have been preparing for several years. If I can successfully research it, it will definitely reach the four-star level!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfft!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo sprayed out the water in his mouth, but fortunately, he turned his head quickly, otherwise, he would have ruined the table of food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he couldn't care about the water on the corner of his mouth, looking at Bai Meng in front of him with shock: \"Four, four-star level formula?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In all the years Xiyang House had been operating, the highest-level formula was only a three-star one. As for a four-star formula, even among the top ten Spirit Water and Light houses, they were treasures that anchored the house, with immeasurable value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo had dreamed countless times that Xiyang House could obtain a four-star formula to directly help Xiyang House take off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after waking from the dream, it could only turn into a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because a four-star formula was simply too rare; even if one occasionally appeared on the market, the price was exorbitantly high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now, Bai Meng said that the next formula she was researching was actually a four-star one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was hard to describe even as a pie falling from the sky, so how could Li Luo not lose his composure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding Li Luo’s reaction, a flash of craftiness crossed Bai Meng’s eyes. She nodded and confirmed, \"That's right, it is a four-star formula. This is the work of my many years of effort.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo was silent for a few seconds, then sighed and said earnestly, \"Mengmeng, we are still young. Sometimes staying up late is actually something we can handle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dry cough came from the side. Xin Fu sat down and said, \"Captain, your expression is too ugly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo ignored him. At this moment, his mind was filled with the four-star formula. His eyes glowed as he looked at Bai Meng; he had the urge to kidnap her, lock her in the research lab, and use a whip to make her work on research day and night without rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous calmness had vanished completely in the face of a four-star formula.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But fortunately, he eventually suppressed these messy thoughts, put on a gentle smile, and tenderly served Bai Meng a bowl of hot soup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Captain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Meng accepted it with a smile, then held the soup bowl with both hands and said, \"Don't worry, Captain, this formula will definitely belong to Xiyang House.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo looked gratified. What a good girl; he really wanted to lock her in Xiyang House—no, invite her to Xiyang House...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, both sides dined in a joyful atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, suddenly, a low drum sound resonated throughout the Astral Sage College. The drum sound was heavy, making one inexplicably feel a sense of oppression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them stopped their chopsticks in unison, and the faces that had been full of smiles gradually became solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door was also suddenly pushed open at this moment, and Instructor Xi Chan walked in, a faint aura of killing intent emanating from her footsteps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at the three of them and said, \"Stop eating, the Dark Cave has opened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Follow me. The academy has finally decided that for this purification mission, the Purple Glow teams of the First Star Academy must also participate to accumulate experience.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three looked at each other, all seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, had it come after all?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Today, the paid chapter on the public WeChat account features an illustration of Qin Zhulu. I changed the art style; it feels very tough.
