Chapter 88: Preparing to Depart

The grand ceremony had ended, and they were on the carriage heading back.

Li Luo, Cai Wei, and Yan Yan Lingqing shared the ride, and at this moment, both women had their bright, beautiful eyes wide open, staring fixedly at Li Luo across from them.

"Although I know how dazzling my looks are, and after spending so much time together day and night, it's inevitable that you might have some other thoughts. But to prevent you from falling out with Sister Jiang Qinge over our friendship, I still hope you can restrain yourselves a little. If you really can't hold back, I suggest you discuss it with Sister Jiang Qinge first." Li Luo, stared at by the two women for so long, could only earnestly advise.

"Pfft."

Both Cai Wei and Yan Yan Lingqing gave a light scoff, feeling that this guy's skin was truly getting thicker by the day.

"Young Mansion Master, you've certainly been hiding quite a few secrets. But now you have to tell us, how will our Xi Yang House maintain this quality in the future?" Cai Wei asked with a smiling face.

Li Luo smiled and said, "That's not hard at all. I upgraded the Mi Fa Source Water, so the purity became higher, and naturally the quality of the refined Source Water improved a bit."

Both Cai Wei and Yan Yan Lingqing were speechless. Actually, the latter had already guessed it—after all, the factors that could improve spirit water quality were limited, and what Li Luo could influence seemed to be only that Mi Fa Source Water.

But the purity of the Mi Fa Source Water Li Luo had produced before was already high enough to astonish even Yan Yan Lingqing, and now Li Luo had upgraded its purity once again?

"The Song family worked so hard to find outside help, going through countless negotiations and games of chess, but all that scheming couldn't compare to your casual remark about upgrading the Source Water. Right now, I almost feel sorry for that Song Song Qiuyu." Cai Wei shook her head helplessly, yet a joyful smile lingered in her narrow, charming eyes.

Li Luo smiled. After all, Xi Yang House hadn't yet released upgraded Third Rank spirit water, because he was still only at the Nine Seal level, his phase force not yet thick enough, and the amount of Source Water he could squeeze out in a given period was limited. Otherwise, he would have upgraded the Third Rank spirit water long ago, and then the Song family really would have been crushed until they couldn't breathe.

"By the way, you should be heading to the Sacred Phoenix Star Academy soon, right? What will happen to the Mi Fa Source Water then?" Yan Yan Lingqing suddenly asked.

The fact that the spirit water quality of Xi Yang House in Tian Shu Prefecture could reach its current level could be said, without exaggeration, to be entirely due to the existence of Li Luo, this cheat device. But once Li Luo left, how would this quality be guaranteed?

Li Luo had previously said he would guarantee Xi Yang House's quality in Tian Shu Prefecture reached sixty-four percent, or offer an unconditional refund.

Li Luo had long had thoughts on this matter and said, "After I go to Wang Cheng, every month I will send a batch of Mi Fa Source Water to Tian Shu Prefecture to ensure the quality of Xi Yang House's products."

Along with the recent improvement in Li Luo's phase force, the amount of Mi Fa Source Water he could condense was also increasing. If he gathered a bit more, it would be enough to meet the demand here in Tian Shu Prefecture.

Cai Wei and Yan Yan Lingqing nodded upon hearing this, agreeing with this method.

"However, once Young Mansion Master goes to Wang Cheng, Yan Lingqing and I will likely go with you."

Cai Wei smiled charmingly and said, "After all, my coming to Tian Shu Prefecture was mainly to look after the Young Mansion Master and stabilize the business here. After these two months, these tasks can be considered complete, so I also need to return to Da Xia City."

Yan Yan Lingqing also nodded slightly and said, "Xi Yang House here has stabilized. Earlier, headquarters sent another One Fourth-Rank Individual phase refiner to serve as vice president. This was sent by the Jiang Qinge Sect, trustworthy, so I can confidently hand over the matters here to him."

Then she laughed lightly and said, "Besides, I'm still studying at the Sacred Phoenix Star Academy. When you enter the Sacred Phoenix Star Academy, you'll have to call me senior."

Li Luo smiled and said, "Your talents being kept here in Tian Shu Prefecture was already a waste to begin with."

Cai Wei was originally the head housekeeper of the entire Luo Lan Mansion. Because Manager Pei Hao had caused trouble earlier, and Jiang Jiang Qinge wanted him to be more settled in Tian Shu Prefecture, she had sent Cai Wei over to look after him and stabilize the situation in Tian Shu Prefecture. Yan Yan Lingqing, moreover, was a top student at the Phase Refining Institute of the Sacred Phoenix Star Academy. Her agreeing to Jiang Jiang Qinge's request to come to Tian Shu Prefecture was more about seeking personal tempering and improving her phase refining art.

And once he left Tian Shu Prefecture, the two of them naturally wouldn't stay here long either.

Cai Wei asked, "When are you planning to set off for Da Xia City?"

"It should still take about half a month."

Li Luo estimated. There was still over a month left in the holiday, and he needed to try his best to fill up the "Minor Form Divine Wheel" in Tian Shu Prefecture, ideally forging out the second Acquired Phase.

"That's about right. Once we make the arrangements, it should be around that time, so we can head off together." Cai Wei said with a smiling face.

"It's been so long since I've seen my precious Jiang Qinge, I really miss her." Yan Yan Lingqing also showed anticipation on her face.

Li Luo nodded in deep agreement and chimed in, "I also really miss precious Jiang Qinge. I really want to give her a hug full of love."

However, upon hearing this, Yan Yan Lingqing said to him seriously, "If it's at the Sacred Phoenix Star Academy, I'd advise you to be careful. If you really make such a move, I feel you'd be beaten to death with a club."

Li Luo was startled, then said indignantly, "Is it illegal for me to hug my fiancée? Why are the people at the Sacred Phoenix Star Academy so barbaric?"

Yan Yan Lingqing rolled her eyes at him, not wanting to deal with this guy playing dumb.

The days after the grand ceremony began to grow mundane, and the bustle in Nan Feng City was also fading, returning to its usual calm.

Xi Yang House's performance was climbing steadily, almost without suspense taking the vast majority of the spirit water marvel market in Tian Shu Prefecture. This directly caused Tian Shu Prefecture's revenue this year to reach an all-time high.

And as Xi Yang House's name grew louder and louder in Tian Shu Prefecture, the holiday was also passing rapidly day by day.

When only the last half month of the holiday remained, Li Luo's phase force finally welcomed a long-awaited breakthrough, and he successfully stepped into the Ten-Seal Realm.

At this level, he had to begin preparing to brew an assault on the Phase Master Realm and nurture a phase seed, though this still required some time to prepare. And the light orifices on the "Minor Form Divine Wheel" were also, under Li Luo's efforts, gradually approaching completion, with only the last two remaining.

But it was precisely these two light orifices that made Li Luo rack his brains testing various materials, yet they were always rejected by the Minor Form Divine Wheel. Eventually, after his speculation, it should be because the wind and thunder energy contained in these materials was insufficient.

In other words, the final two light orifices would probably require some rather rare wind and thunder materials to be filled.

For this, he specifically went to the Golden Dragon Treasure House in Tian Shu Prefecture, but the wind and thunder materials found there couldn't meet his needs either. In the end, it was President Lv who told him that if he wanted better wind and thunder materials, he would probably have to go to the Golden Dragon Treasure House headquarters in Da Xia City.

There, he should be able to find materials to his satisfaction.

Upon learning this news, Li Luo understood that the time had come for him to leave Tian Shu Prefecture and head to Da Xia City.
