Chapter 321: Enough to Go Around

Secret Method Source Water of eighth-grade purity!

When these words fell from Li Luo, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly went quiet; the heads of the various Spirit Liquid and Light houses all changed color, standing up in a sudden, uncomposed manner.

As for the students from the Resonance Power Institute, they didn't know much about Secret Method Source Water, but that didn't stop them from sensing that something impressive was happening from the changing expressions of the Refiner masters present.

"My god!"

Yan Lingqing's small mouth gradually opened wide at this moment, rounded as if a fist could be stuffed inside; she looked at Li Luo on the stage in utter shock.

Just a moment ago, she was still in a state of shock and ecstasy over the four-star formula Li Luo had produced, but who would have thought it wasn't over yet—Li Luo had also produced Secret Method Source Water of eighth-grade purity!

At this moment, Yan Lingqing truly felt like she was dreaming.

"Sister Cai, bite me quickly, see if I'm dreaming!" Yan Lingqing blankly held her small hand out toward Cai Wei.

Cai Wei rolled her eyes at her, annoyed, but she reached out and pinched her fair cheek hard; the force was so great that it left a red mark.

"That hurts!"

Yan Lingqing's eyes welled up with tears from the pain, and she looked at Cai Wei with resentment.

Cai Wei gave a sheepish smile; in truth, her own heart was pounding violently as well. She also found this windfall from the sky unbelievable, so she had wanted to test if it was a dream, but pinching herself hurt too much, and since Yan Lingqing had offered herself up, it was the perfect opportunity for a test.

"Qing'e, did you know about this long ago?" Cai Wei asked, looking at the calmest person present, Jiang Qing'e.

"Oh, you two hid such important news, making us worry ourselves sick!" Yan Lingqing said indignantly.

Jiang Qing'e smiled: "Actually, I only knew he had a four-star formula, but I didn't know he also had Secret Method Source Water of eighth-grade purity."

"It's just that Li Luo isn't the reckless type; since he insisted on taking the stage, I guessed he must have had some preparations, which is why I wasn't as overly worried as you two."

Tang Yun, standing to the side, recovered from his shock and said ecstatically: "The Young Mansion Master is truly a heaven-sent talent! With this four-star formula and the eighth-grade purity Secret Method Source Water, our Xiyang House will surely rise!"

The other Refiner masters who had followed them were also overjoyed; eighth-grade purity Secret Method Source Water—to them, this was something they didn't even have the qualifications to touch, and yet, the Young Mansion Master had actually brought it out?

If that was the case, wouldn't they be able to get a share in the future? Even if they only got a tiny bit, it would be enough to satisfy them.

At this moment, they were incredibly glad they had chosen to join Xiyang House earlier.

In the stands, Yu Lang also shook his head with a sigh, saying: "This Li Luo really does have some ability; it seems he learned quite a few things while being with me."

"Mengdie Spirit Liquid..."

He muttered the name, then suddenly frowned and whispered: "This name... why does it sound a bit like you, Mengmeng?"

Bai Mengmeng looked at him, a moving smile appearing on her pure little face: "Because this is what I researched, and then the Captain said he would name it after me to thank me."

Yu Lang was struck as if by lightning, and he said resentfully: "Li Luo, you scoundrel!"

"Hmm?" Lu Qinger looked over with an unkind gaze.

Bai Mengmeng also smiled: "Student Yu Lang, you shouldn't talk nonsense, or I'll tell my sister."

Yu Lang shuddered instantly and put on a smile: "Calm down, don't mess around, people could die."

Lu Qinger curled her lip slightly; she knew that Bai Mengmeng had researched a four-star formula and gifted it to Li Luo, but she hadn't expected Li Luo to use Bai Mengmeng's name to name this spirit liquid...

This little girl, who looked pure, cute, and harmless, didn't seem like someone to be trifled with either.

"Eighth-grade purity source water..."

Over at Daze House, Duze Honglian and Duze Beixuan were already in a state of stupor; clearly, the eighth-grade source water Li Luo had brought out was even more shocking than the previous four-star formula.

"How could he have Secret Method Source Water of this purity?" Duze Beixuan said in a dry voice.

Duze Honglian rubbed her smooth brow in exhaustion; even she couldn't help but want to curse out loud at this moment. Does this Li Luo have a treasure bag? He just pulls out big treasures whenever he wants?!

A four-star formula—their Daze House had invested such massive capital into research and development over so many years, and yet their current reserves of four-star formulas could be counted on one hand. And this Li Luo had only been in charge of Xiyang House for half a year, and he already had a four-star formula?

As for that Secret Method Source Water, let alone that... the previous seventh-grade Secret Method Source Water had already made people feel unbalanced, and now, it had actually become eighth-grade purity?!

Do you think this is sugar water from a roadside vendor?! Does it come with version updates and upgrades too?!

In the entire Great Xia, among so many Spirit Liquid and Light houses, only the strongest Tiangong House possessed a single Secret Method Source Water of lower eighth-grade purity; no other house had ever had one!

This shows just how rare Secret Method Source Water of eighth-grade purity is.

And such a rare thing, this Li Luo says they researched it through half a year of hard work and then came up with it?! Who are you trying to fool!

"No wonder he could reach a refining power of sixty-six percent."

Duze Honglian sighed; she finally understood. It turned out Li Luo didn't just have a four-star formula, but also the aid of eighth-grade purity Secret Method Source Water. Added to his own exceptionally brilliant talent for refining, it was indeed not impossible to reach that level of refining power.

"This time, our Daze House has lost."

Duze Honglian felt some unwillingness; Daze House was a top-tier Spirit Liquid and Light house in Great Xia, and today's invitation meeting had essentially been used by Xiyang House as a stepping stone.

Duze Beixuan was so angry he slapped the armrest of his chair hard. Suppressing Xiyang House was a strategic plan their Duze Mansion used to deal with Luolan House, and everything had been going smoothly. They had paid a significant price to incite Han Zhi's betrayal, and they had all thought Xiyang House would collapse or even go out of business. But who could have imagined that in the end, this nearly bankrupt Xiyang House would be propped up by Li Luo alone.

This bastard, why is he so monstrous?!

"What do you think?"

The Princess turned her head to look at Master Guixu, who was also in a state of shock.

Master Guixu was speechless and gave a bitter smile: "What else is there to say? A four-star formula, eighth-grade Secret Method Source Water... especially the latter, is this something that can just appear out of nowhere?"

"Your Highness, you should know better than anyone what a high price our Tiangong House paid for that lower eighth-grade purity Secret Method Source Water."

The Princess nodded slightly and said: "Li Luo couldn't have come up with eighth-grade purity Secret Method Source Water on his own; I suspect this might be something his parents left behind in secret."

The Princess's eyes were thoughtful. The backgrounds of those two Mansion Masters of Luolan House were a mystery, but since they could possess such supreme treasures, it wasn't inconceivable for them to have left behind eighth-grade purity Secret Method Source Water.

Master Guixu nodded and said: "Regardless, Xiyang House now has the capital to rise. Given time, they might even have the capital to contend with our Tiangong House."

His expression shifted, and he whispered: "Should we... use some means to suppress them and delay Xiyang House's rise? The current Luolan House and Xiyang House are in a precarious state."

Behind Tiangong House was the Great Xia Royal Court; the power and means they could employ would be far greater than those of the Duze Mansion. So if the Princess truly had the heart for it, it wouldn't be so easy for Xiyang House to rise.

The Princess swept a deep gaze over him and said indifferently: "I have my own plans; do not act on your own initiative."

Master Guixu felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

The Princess said nothing more. She was currently trying to win over Jiang Qing'e because she saw her future potential, so she was relatively kind in her attitude toward Luolan House. Most importantly, Li Luo could currently treat the King's congenital defect; for that reason alone, she could not sit by and watch something happen to him.

Because half a year from now, there would be too many changes in Great Xia.

That was also the time when the King's Uncle had agreed to return power to the King.

The Princess didn't know if her King's Uncle would keep his promise, but she was secretly making some preparations for it...

The eighth-grade purity Secret Method Source Water shocked the entire venue.

It also shocked Han Zhi.

He looked at the Secret Method Source Water in Li Luo's hand with a pale face; this was something he had never imagined.

"Is this what the two Mansion Masters left for you in secret?"

"Why? If they had brought this out earlier, I would have definitely been able to lead Xiyang House to become a top-tier Spirit Liquid and Light house in Great Xia. How could I have chosen to betray them?!" Han Zhi said, trembling.

It was precisely because he had lost hope in the future of Xiyang House that he chose to leave. But if he had known earlier that Li Luo could produce eighth-grade purity Secret Method Source Water, why would he have gone to Daze House?!

After all, Daze House didn't have eighth-grade purity Secret Method Source Water either!

At this moment, the regret and anger surging in Han Zhi's heart almost twisted his face.

However, Li Luo had no intention of paying any more attention to this traitor. He looked at the top students from the Refiner Institute, a warm smile on his face, and spoke in a clear voice.

"My fellow seniors of the Refiner Institute, today my Xiyang House came to this invitation meeting, naturally, with you in mind."

"I am here in the name of the President of Xiyang House to extend an invitation to you. Although our Xiyang House is small in scale and lacks the foundation of the top Spirit Liquid and Light houses present, small has its advantages..."

"For example..."

Li Luo raised the Secret Method Source Water in his hand, the smile on his face like a big bad wolf luring a little girl.

"At least for us, Secret Method Source Water..."

"Is plenty."
