Chapter 308: Mengdie Spirit Liquid

In the refining room, the results of that first attempt left both Li Luo and Bai Mengmeng pleasantly surprised.

And just as Li Luo had thought, the young girl's talent for research into spirit liquids and wondrous lights was absolutely a rare treasure.

A four-star formula of this kind, even if it was only for a third-grade spirit liquid, possessed an astonishing value; at the very least, the Xiyang House of today might not be able to obtain it even if they exhausted all their financial resources.

Half a year ago, Xiyang House could barely be ranked among all the spirit liquid and wondrous light houses in the Great Xia, but following Li Luo's arrival and the use of high-purity secret source water, the quality of Xiyang House's spirit liquids and wondrous lights finally improved, barely qualifying them to compete with some of the stronger houses.

But this could not overlook the shallow foundation of Xiyang House, especially after the previous betrayal by the Xiyang House headquarters president, Han Zhi, which left the house severely crippled; if Li Luo hadn't stepped up to turn the tide back then, Xiyang House would likely have already faced bankruptcy.

Yet Li Luo also understood that if Xiyang House wanted to truly become a top-tier spirit liquid and wondrous light house in the Great Xia, relying solely on him to prop it up with secret source water was not enough; high-grade resonance refiners and high-star formulas were both indispensable.

But both of these were things one could only hope for but not seek, especially the latter.

It was just that Li Luo had never imagined he would be so lucky that, after entering the Astral Sage College, he would be assigned a genius who could research spirit liquid and wondrous light formulas.

At this moment, he only wanted to sincerely say to Instructor Xi Chan, who had facilitated this team: Teacher, thank you for your love!

At the same time, the look in his eyes as he turned to Bai Mengmeng became exceptionally "affectionate."

Bai Mengmeng, who had been cheering, noticed his gaze and immediately became shy; she hurriedly let go of his small hands and whispered, "Captain, hurry and wipe your mouth."

Hearing this, Li Luo hurriedly touched the corner of his mouth; had his messy eating habits been exposed? How embarrassing.

However, a touch revealed nothing, and he immediately realized he had been teased by Bai Mengmeng, so he couldn't help but glare at her.

Bai Mengmeng covered her mouth and giggled, then asked with some confusion: "Captain, this is your first time refining this spirit liquid, how is the refining power so high? And you haven't even used the secret source water yet."

Although this was her four-star formula, it was Li Luo's first successful attempt, so there should have been many flaws; she had originally thought it would be good if the refining power reached around fifty-eight percent, but she hadn't expected Li Luo to reach sixty percent.

"You'll know later."

Li Luo smiled; it wasn't that he hadn't used secret source water, it was just that because he could condense secret source water himself, he had naturally added it in during the refining process.

"However..."

Li Luo remembered something and said with some shame: "That 'Aftertaste Spirit Liquid', I haven't made it yet."

Previously, he had agreed with Bai Mengmeng that when she created a four-star formula, he would also solve her taste problem, but he hadn't expected Bai Mengmeng's efficiency to be so high.

Bai Mengmeng smiled playfully: "No rush, anyway, I've made it through all these years, so I don't mind waiting a little longer."

"Don't worry, the Aftertaste Spirit Liquid should be soon, I will finish it as soon as possible," Li Luo promised.

Bai Mengmeng nodded, then she solemnly handed that formula to Li Luo and said: "Captain, this four-star formula is yours from now on."

Her eyes were exceptionally gentle as she looked at the formula, because this was the result of her hard work over these years.

Li Luo also took it with extreme solemnity, then carefully put it away and said: "Mengmeng, don't worry, I won't waste your hard work; in the future, this spirit liquid will definitely occupy the most dazzling position among the third-grade spirit liquids in the Great Xia."

As far as he knew, in the entire third-grade spirit liquid market of the Great Xia, even those houses in the top ten only possessed four-star formulas.

And once he evolved his own water-light resonance to the seventh grade in these next few days to produce a stronger version of the secret source water, the combination of the two would definitely make this spirit liquid an overnight sensation.

At that time, in the third-grade spirit liquid market, Xiyang House would have the qualifications to compete with those top-ten spirit liquid and wondrous light houses.

Bai Mengmeng smiled and said: "Captain, you haven't given it a name yet."

Li Luo thought for a moment and said: "Let's call it 'Mengdie Spirit Liquid'."

Bai Mengmeng was startled; did this mean it was taken from her name and her Water Nightmare Butterfly resonance?

She said somewhat shyly: "Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Li Luo said earnestly: "This was originally your hard work, and I want everyone in the Great Xia to know that this spirit liquid was developed by a girl named Bai Mengmeng."

Bai Mengmeng looked at Li Luo for a while with her watery eyes, then nodded gently with a smile on her lips.

The two chatted for a while longer, and then Li Luo began to tidy up the table; after he had everything packed away, he suddenly felt the refining room had become much quieter, so he looked at Bai Mengmeng, only to be stunned to find the young girl sitting in her chair, asleep on the table.

Her dark hair hung down, half-covering her pure and fair little face.

Li Luo looked at the faint dark circles under Bai Mengmeng's eyes; clearly, the overnight research had consumed a great deal of her energy, and this wasn't just a simple case of staying up late, because under that kind of high-load deduction, the drain on her mental energy was immense.

She had been supporting herself with a surge of excitement, but now that everything had settled, she naturally couldn't hold on any longer.

Li Luo was somewhat moved; this four-star formula from her had indeed helped him a great deal.

He stepped forward and called out to her twice, but found that Bai Mengmeng didn't move at all, clearly having entered a deep sleep; this was no place to sleep, so after hesitating for a moment, he reached out his arms, scooped the young girl up, and prepared to take her back to her room.

"So light."

Feeling the weight of the young girl in his arms, who felt as if she had no bones, Li Luo remarked, then carried her out of the refining room.

And just as Li Luo was carrying Bai Mengmeng to the first-floor living room, the door was suddenly knocked upon.

Li Luo's hands were full, so he casually called out: "Xin Fu, open the door."

A voice came from the shadows in the room: "Are you sure?"

Li Luo was taken aback; I asked you to open a door, what the hell are you sure about? He immediately said irritably: "Nonsense."

"Alright!"

For some reason, Li Luo detected a hint of excitement and agitation in Xin Fu's voice.

He pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly realized something; he glanced at the sleeping Bai Mengmeng in his arms, then looked toward the door and hurriedly said: "Damn it, wait!"

Click.

Shadows swirled, and the door was pulled open directly.

Sunlight from the doorway spilled in through the gap, landing right on Li Luo, and at the door, two slender, beautiful figures stood gracefully, their gazes projecting in along with the sunlight.

Finally, they saw Li Luo holding Bai Mengmeng in his arms.

Li Luo also saw the two women.

Jiang Qing'e, Lu Qinger...

And so, the atmosphere seemed to stagnate at this moment.
