Chapter 87: The Second Upgrade of Xi Yang House

The uproar in the venue continued, for Song Family's move this time was truly massive; no one had expected them to form a partnership with Ink House, which was a renowned Spirit Water Marvel House throughout the Great Xia, whose strength and scale were unmatched by any Spirit Water Marvel House within the Tian Shu Commandery.

Now that Ink House had broken into the Tian Shu Commandery, it was undoubtedly a fierce tiger entering a flock of sheep.

One could imagine that in the future, the vast majority of the Spirit Water Marvel market in the Tian Shu Commandery would fall into Song Family's hands, while the previously suddenly risen Xi Yang House would likely suffer a crushing blow.

Amidst all that uproar, Song Song Qiuyu's previously ugly expression gradually recovered; she stared coldly at Yan Yan Lingqing and said, "Although you won the competition, unfortunately, my Song Family has defeated Xi Yang House."

However, at this moment, a light chuckle sounded; Song Song Qiuyu looked at Li Luo, who was laughing beside her, and said indifferently, "Is it very funny?"

Li Luo nodded, but he did not waste much time with her, instead turning his gaze toward the boiling crowd and saying, "Everyone, my Xi Yang House also has a major announcement to make. Hmm, starting today, the Grade One Green Jade Spirit Water and Grade Two Red Pulp Spirit Water produced by Xi Yang House will undergo another upgrade. According to my estimation, the refining power of these two new versions of Spirit Water will reach a quality of sixty-four percent."

Boom!

Upon hearing these words, countless people were left dumbstruck, and even some Refinement Image Masters looked at Li Luo in shock.

Grade One and Grade Two Spirit Water with a refining power reaching sixty-four percent?

If this could be mass-produced, such quality, let alone in the Tian Shu Commandery, would absolutely rank within the top ten even when looking across the entire Great Xia.

And those products in the top ten were all stable items formed by major powers after countless trials and tribulations.

But now, could this Xi Yang House actually reach this level?

"This brat is talking absolute nonsense!" On the Song Family viewing stand, Mo Ling cursed angrily; this Li Luo was too good at bragging, daring to claim that Xi Yang House's Green Jade Spirit Water and Red Pulp Spirit Water could reach a refining power of sixty-four percent, a quality that even their Ink House found difficult to achieve.

Song Shan's face also grew somewhat gloomy; although he also felt Li Luo's words held no credibility, for some reason, a sense of unease swept through his heart, for this Li Luo was indeed somewhat uncanny at times.

Over at the Golden Dragon Merchant Association, President Lu was also somewhat surprised and said to Lu Qing'er, "Xi Yang House's Spirit Water has upgraded again? Is it that fast?"

Lu Qing'er innocently blinked her big eyes, indicating that she also did not know why Xi Yang House's product upgrade speed was so unique.

In the venue, Song Song Qiuyu heard these words and was equally stunned, then sneered, "What nonsense are you spouting? Spirit Water of such quality cannot even be achieved by Xi Yang House's headquarters, yet you, a branch, dare to make such grand claims?!"

This brat thought Spirit Water Marvels were what? That you could just upgrade them whenever you wanted? You must know that among the Spirit Water Marvels of those other major powers, which one did not require countless experiments, formula adjustments, and experience improvements before the quality could be raised bit by bit?

But Xi Yang House's Spirit Water Marvels, just two months ago, had only barely reached a refining power of over fifty percent; in terms of quality, let alone comparing them to Pine Nut House, even some other Spirit Water Marvel Houses in the Tian Shu Commandery surpassed them in quality.

And although no one knew how Xi Yang House had managed such a massive quality improvement before, could such a thing happen a second time within such a short period?

Yan Yan Lingqing beside her said nothing, but her gaze also revealed some confusion, for even she had not known beforehand about this so-called massive quality upgrade.

However, after experiencing the previous events, she had gained much more confidence in Li Luo; since he dared to make such grand claims here now, he must have been prepared.

Li Luo waved his hand toward the back, and immediately a servant from Luo Lan Manor, carrying a black box, rushed over; the box was opened to reveal dozens of Spirit Water Marvels inserted inside, precisely the Green Jade Spirit Water and Red Pulp Spirit Water produced by Xi Yang House.

Li Luo casually took a Refinement Testing Needle, and then, before countless pairs of eyes, tested both the Green Jade Spirit Water and the Red Pulp Spirit Water; then everyone watched in shock as the refining power of these Spirit Water was indeed found to have reached sixty-four percent.

Thus, the entire venue erupted in uproar.

Li Luo smiled gently and said, "Everyone, from now on, the Green Jade Spirit Water and Red Pulp Spirit Water produced by Xi Yang House in the Tian Shu Commandery will all reach a quality of sixty-four percent; if any fall below this quality, Xi Yang House will offer a full refund unconditionally."

Upon hearing these words, everyone understood that this young house master was serious.

Song Song Qiuyu's face instantly became incredibly ugly; she wanted to accuse Li Luo that these Spirit Water must have been refined by some high-level Refinement Image Masters, but since he had even mentioned unconditional refunds, it showed he had absolute confidence to ship goods long-term and maintain this quality.

So for a moment, Song Song Qiuyu's whole body trembled uncontrollably, caused by anger and unwillingness.

For today, she had gone to great lengths to facilitate the cooperation between Song Family and Ink House, all to completely crush Yan Yan Lingqing and Xi Yang House today, but all of this was now utterly destroyed.

She lost the first place in the competition to Yan Yan Lingqing, and now even the new product she launched was utterly defeated by Xi Yang House's upgrade.

Everything today had simply become a joke.

"Impossible, impossible!" At this moment, Mo Ling on the Song Family viewing stand stood up in a loss of composure and shouted sternly.

He also did not believe Xi Yang House could maintain Spirit Water Marvels of such quality long-term.

"Li Luo must be lying!"

However, Song Shan beside him stood up expressionlessly; he did not pay attention to the roaring Mo Ling and turned directly to leave.

Because at this point, the outcome could no longer be changed; their Song Family's carefully planned ambush had not only been easily neutralized by the opponent but also met with an extremely fierce counterattack.

The Spirit Water with a refining power as high as sixty-four percent would become a great mountain, forever pressing down on Song Family's head, leaving them with almost no possibility of turning the tables.

Today, Song Family was defeated by Luo Lan Manor once again.

And he remembered that it seemed it hadn't been like this before; back then, their Song Family had been constantly nibbling away at Luo Lan Manor's assets in the Tian Shu Commandery, enjoying boundless glory, but how had it suddenly turned into this?

Li Luo's face flashed through Song Shan's mind.

It seemed everyone only knew that Jiang Jiang Qinge of Luo Lan Manor was formidable, but did they perhaps all underestimate this young house master who showed no signs of strength, yet could suddenly dart out like a venomous snake and deliver a fatal blow with a single strike?

"Let's go, the good show is over."

President Lu also stood up, smiled at Lu Qing'er, and said, "Although I have no evidence, based on my intuition from decades of doing business, I feel this young house master is somewhat extraordinary."

"He does not possess the sharpness of his parents or Jiang Jiang Qinge, but he understands the so-called hiding one's light better; that is even a trait he should not possess at his age. In the future, I feel he may not be inferior to Jiang Jiang Qinge."

Having finished speaking, he turned and left.

Lu Qing'er tilted her head, gazing at Li Luo in the venue, and also smiled faintly, saying softly, "Actually, I think so too."

She recalled that they would soon head to Saint Profound Star Academy to begin a new chapter of life, so inexplicably, some expectation welled up in her heart.
