Chapter 322: The Hot Commodity: Xiyang House

Li Luo's voice stirred some low laughter in the venue, though there was not a hint of mockery in that laughter; on the contrary, many top students about to graduate from the Resonance Refinement Institute were quite tempted.

The scale and foundation of Xiyang House were indeed much weaker than those other top-tier Spirit Liquid and Light houses, but that was only in the past; now, with the four-star formula and the eighth-grade purity secret technique source water, the rise of Xiyang House was only a matter of time.

Moreover, just as Li Luo said, Xiyang House was not large in scale and did not have many resonance refiners for the time being, so coming here meant there would be enough eighth-grade purity secret technique source water to go around.

This was the most attractive point.

After all, why did these resonance refiners like to go to those top-tier Spirit Liquid and Light houses? Wasn't it because they were powerful and possessed secret technique source water, which allowed their resonance refinement techniques to improve faster and to a higher level?

But in those large-scale Spirit Liquid and Light houses, there were many resonance refiners; it was impossible for a newcomer to enter and be assigned the best resources. When a newcomer entered such a place, they still had to endure for a period of time first.

But right now, if they entered Xiyang House, this grueling stage could obviously be skipped entirely.

How could this not be tempting?

At this moment, all the students realized that the current Xiyang House was no longer that little broken house that had nothing...

*Huu.

Li Bi let out a long breath, finally waking up from this series of shocks. She looked at the young man in the arena, her eyes still lingering with disbelief.

He actually really did it!

Previously, when Li Luo wanted to go on stage himself, she had felt very disappointed, thinking that Li Luo was making a joke of Xiyang House's reputation. However, the current result made her cheeks burn; it turned out it wasn't Li Luo who was joking, but her own vision that was too short-sighted.

And while Li Bi was in a complex state of mind, a figure suddenly rushed over from the side and hugged her.

Li Bi was startled. She looked over and saw it was her good friend Bing Tao, whose face was full of excitement and agitation.

"What are you doing?" Li Bi rolled her eyes at her.

Bing Tao excitedly grabbed Li Bi's hand and said, "Wow, A-Bi, your eye for things is too good, right?! You were actually able to discover the potential of Xiyang House in advance?! Did that Li Luo tell you all of this?!"

The curious gazes of some friends around them were also cast over.

Li Bi felt a bit guilty being watched by them, but she appeared calm on the surface and said, "Well, that... Student Li Luo came to find me, so he definitely revealed some information."

She wasn't actually lying; Li Luo had told her that Xiyang House would possess eighth-grade purity secret technique source water, it was just that... she didn't believe it.

In fact, a normal person wouldn't believe it. After all, in the entire Great Xia Spirit Liquid and Light world, the only one possessing eighth-grade purity secret technique source water was the Tiangong House, so no matter how you looked at it, it wouldn't be Xiyang House's turn.

"A-Bi, you will join Xiyang House, right?" Bing Tao asked with a grin.

Li Bi felt even more guilty. Although she hadn't rejected Li Luo before, she hadn't agreed either. Before this competition, she could still hold out for a better price, but now Xiyang House had instantly turned the tables. Although she was a fifth-grade resonance refiner, she wasn't the only fifth-grade one among the top graduates of the Resonance Refinement Institute this time, and with Xiyang House's current conditions, those other fifth-grade resonance refiners would definitely be tempted as well.

Therefore, the problem now was not whether she would join Xiyang House, but whether they would want her...

Although, based on her brief contact with Li Luo, she felt that the other party would likely accept her, she really didn't dare to boast before such things were confirmed. Otherwise, how awkward would it be if the negotiations fell through?

"I suppose so," Li Bi could only say vaguely.

"Hehe, then help us talk to that Student Li Luo; we are also interested in joining Xiyang House," Bing Tao hugged Li Bi and laughed.

"Yeah, yeah!" Other acquaintances also nodded repeatedly, looking at Li Bi with hopeful eyes.

Looking at the expectant eyes of these friends, Li Bi felt a headache. I haven't even settled my own situation yet, how can I take care of you guys?

"You guys don't have to be like this... there are still so many good choices," she tried her best to persuade them.

"Hi, where is there a better choice than Xiyang House? Even for Tiangong House, although it has the strongest strength, you still have to act humble and submissive once you get in, being exploited by some seniors. But I heard that the highest level in Xiyang House right now is a fourth-grade resonance refiner. If we go in, at least we won't be bullied, right?" Bing Tao said.

"We would have made Tiangong House our first choice only because it possessed eighth-grade purity secret technique source water. Now that Xiyang House has it too, why go there to be a laborer?"

Others nodded in agreement.

Li Bi gave a bitter smile. You guys all looked down on them before, but now you want to shamelessly go in. However, this was human nature. She believed that before the competition, probably few people could have guessed this result, including herself.

"I will help you ask, but don't blame me if you get rejected," she sighed and could only say this.

Bing Tao and the others nodded repeatedly. They were complete strangers to Li Luo, while Li Bi had at least had contact with him and had received an invitation before. Having Li Bi help speak up was better than approaching him themselves.

Li Bi felt a bit of emotion; the world was truly fickle. Who would have thought that Xiyang House, which no one cared about a moment ago, had now become a hot commodity.

She looked at the young man in the arena with a tall, straight figure, exceptionally handsome features, and a smile as bright as sunshine, and couldn't help but think that working under him in the future seemed like a pretty good choice.

Thinking this, she glanced at Mei Xuan'er not far away, who had been chattering away and mocking Xiyang House earlier. The latter was now completely silenced, sitting in her chair with a pale and green complexion, unable to say a word.

The gazes of some students from the Resonance Refinement Institute around Mei Xuan'er were also filled with strangeness and amusement.

This was truly a case of the more fiercely one mocked before, the more awkward one felt now.

Li Bi asked herself that if it were her, the embarrassment in her heart right now would be enough to make her curl her toes and dig out a two-story courtyard on the ground.

However, she didn't have any good feelings for Mei Xuan'er either. Although the other party was mocking Xiyang House before, she had also targeted her, so seeing the other party in such an embarrassing state now, she also felt some pleasure in her heart.

It was truly deserved.

And inside the refining arena, after Li Luo finished promoting his Xiyang House and saw the reaction of the resonance refiner students in the venue, he understood that the mission of this invitation meeting was successfully completed.

He felt a sense of relief. The effect of this promotion should be in place; Xiyang House would welcome a real expansion in scale, and this time, the effect of the expansion could not be compared to when Tang Yun and the others joined before.

Although it sounded a bit cruel, compared to these top students from the Resonance Refinement Institute, Tang Yun and the others... were indeed poor students.

It was just that from now on, the supply of secret technique source water for Xiyang House would also become more frequent and massive.

Thinking of this, the smile on Li Luo's face showed signs of gradually fading. He couldn't help but reach out to support his waist; to bear such a huge burden at such a young age, I am really having such a hard time.

Dad, Mom, I really suspect you ran off on purpose to leave this mess to me and Sister Qing'e...

Li Luo sighed and walked down from the high platform.

Still need to speed up and improve my strength; otherwise, if things go on like this, his body won't be able to keep up with the development of Xiyang House, and the consequence of that would be being squeezed dry until he becomes a dried-up husk.
