Chapter 39

Over the next few days, Li Luo spent half his time cultivating in the old residence and the other half practicing his Phase Refinement Technique at Xi Yang House. By now, he could steadily produce a bottle of First Rank Azure Spirit Water every day, making him a genuine First Rank Phase Refiner.

Moreover, the refining power of the Azure Spirit Water he produced was gradually increasing with his growing experience.

However, he was clearly not satisfied with this, and began to gradually attempt the refinement of Second Rank Spirit Water, the Radiant Light. However, the formula for Second Rank Spirit Water was several times more complex than that of Azure Spirit Water, and the materials required for its preparation were even more intricate and tedious. As a result, all of Li Luo's attempts ended in failure.

But Li Luo was not in a hurry. After all, failure was also a form of experience. He believed that with gradual accumulation, the distance to becoming a Second Rank Phase Refiner would not be far.

The final batch of Fifth Rank Radiant Light that Cai Wei needed also began to arrive gradually. With the irrigation of bottle after bottle of Fifth Rank Radiant Light, Li Luo could clearly feel that his "Water Light Phase" was getting closer and closer to evolution.

However, while Li Luo was waiting for the "Water Light Phase" to evolve, a slightly unexpected surprise suddenly came. His Phase Power unexpectedly advanced first, reaching the Seventh Seal level.

Li Luo was somewhat delighted by the advancement of his Phase Power, but he was not overly surprised. After all, he had been cultivating in the Golden House of the old residence for some time, and with the special purity of his "Water Light Phase," his cultivation speed was not much weaker than those with Seventh Rank Phases.

When Li Luo's Phase Power reached the Seventh Seal, he also received good news from Yan Lingqing. The first batch of enhanced Azure Spirit Water had finally been successfully produced.

At Xi Yang House.

A delicate box was placed on the table. When the box was opened, it revealed forty crystal bottles filled with a greenish liquid.

This was the enhanced Azure Spirit Water.

Yan Lingqing's beautiful face was filled with excitement as she said to Li Luo and Cai Wei, "Because the secret water provided by Li Luo has extremely high purity, the success rate of our First Rank Refinement Room has doubled. Originally, we could only produce five bottles of Radiant Light per day, but now it has increased to ten, and the refining power has stabilized at around 60%, which is definitely considered top-notch among First Rank Radiant Light."

Upon hearing this, Li Luo's brows furrowed slightly. He calculated that if the production was ten bottles per day, the annual output value of the First Rank Refinement Room would only be 180,000 Heavenly Gold, which was still a bit short of the 210,000 Gold of the Third Rank Refinement Room.

Thinking about this, he voiced his thoughts.

"This matter can perhaps be entrusted to me," Cai Wei said with a charming smile.

"How do you plan to do it, Sister Cai Wei?" Li Luo asked, somewhat surprised.

Cai Wei smiled sweetly, "The Golden Dragon Treasure House recently intends to purchase top-grade First Rank Radiant Light at a higher price, reaching 60 Gold per bottle. If we can get them to choose our Xi Yang House's Azure Spirit Water, then the value of this contract will surpass that of the Third Rank Refinement Room."

"That's secondary. The most important thing is that the Golden Dragon Treasure House has a very high reputation. Their choice will, in a sense, determine who has the highest quality First Rank Radiant Light in Tian Shu County. This title actually has the highest value."

Li Luo understood. The Golden Dragon Treasure House had always pursued a high-end and premium route. In the past, items like First Rank Radiant Light would not appear in it. Now that they have a need, they will naturally choose the best First Rank Radiant Light. Whoever is selected will have a higher value and a powerful promotion by being able to consign their products in the Golden Dragon Treasure House.

"I'll go to the Golden Dragon Treasure House later, but I hope the Young Lord will accompany me. After all, I need to borrow your face," Cai Wei said.

The Golden Dragon Treasure House has always been neutral, but its strength is undeniable. In the Great Xia, no one would dare to provoke it. The Golden Dragon Treasure House also believes in harmony and profit, never making enemies.

Li Luo, regardless of his current influence in the Luo Lan Manor, is still the Young Lord, and this identity is unquestioned.

Li Luo had no objections. As long as it could help Xi Yang House quickly gain control and earn money to fill the bottomless pit, he didn't mind being a mascot.

"Let's go."

He picked up the box and smiled at Cai Wei.

The resplendent Golden Dragon Treasure House was still bustling, a hotspot in Nanfeng City.

Li Luo and Cai Wei entered the treasure house, and a servant girl respectfully greeted them. Upon learning that they were looking for President Lu, she informed them that President Lu was currently entertaining guests and would need a moment.

The two didn't mind and found a place to sit in the VIP room to wait.

However, they had barely sat down when Li Luo saw a pair of slender, straight legs appear before him. His gaze moved upward, and Lu Qing'er's clear and beautiful face came into view.

Today, Lu Qing'er was wearing a black short skirt, her snow-white legs almost blinding. Her black hair fell down, making her appear even more slender and tall.

"What brings the Young Lord here?" Lu Qing'er asked curiously.

"To talk to President Lu," Li Luo smiled.

Lu Qing'er looked at the box next to Li Luo and said, "Is it First Rank Radiant Light?"

Clearly, she was well aware of the Golden Dragon Treasure House's recent purchase of First Rank Radiant Light.

Li Luo nodded.

"Does this matter require the Young Lord's personal visit?" Lu Qing'er said. No matter how high-quality First Rank Radiant Light is, it is still only First Rank. For both the Luo Lan Manor and the Golden Dragon Treasure House, it is just a drop in the ocean.

"The hardships of a fallen Young Lord, you wouldn't understand," Li Luo sighed, speaking in a low voice.

Lu Qing'er smiled indifferently, then glanced at the mature and charming Cai Wei and said, "This sister is really beautiful. Does the Luo Lan Manor have such high standards for its managers?"

Cai Wei smiled at Lu Qing'er, "You are also very beautiful. I'm sure you have many admirers at Nanfeng Academy. I wonder if the Young Lord is one of them?"

Li Luo coughed dryly, "Don't talk about these useless things."

Lu Qing'er said, "I'll take you to my uncle. He is currently entertaining the Song family, probably because the Golden Dragon Treasure House is planning to consign First Rank Radiant Light. The Song family has proactively approached to recommend their Songzi House's 'Sunlight Radiant Light.'"

Li Luo and Cai Wei exchanged glances, not expecting the Song family to have thought of this as well. It seems they are not fools and also know how to use the prestige of the Golden Dragon Treasure House to enhance their product's reputation.

"Will we be interrupting their discussion if we go now?" Li Luo asked, sounding a bit embarrassed, but he stood up, quite realistically.

"It doesn't matter anyway," Lu Qing'er said indifferently, then turned to lead the way, "But you should know the quality of Songzi House's 'Sunlight Radiant Light.' I can bring you in, but if you want to change my uncle's mind, it will depend on the quality of Xi Yang House's Azure Spirit Water."

"I, Li Luo, act with integrity and never rely on backdoor connections," Li Luo said righteously.

Lu Qing'er chuckled, not arguing with him, and led the two through the corridor, finally arriving at a VIP room. However, just as they got there, a familiar figure walked out.

"Song Yunfeng?" Li Luo's eyebrows raised. The person was Song Yunfeng.

Song Yunfeng also saw Li Luo. He was initially stunned, then frowned at Lu Qing'er and said, "Qing'er, why did you bring him here?"

"Li Luo had an appointment with my uncle. After he arrived, I brought him over," Lu Qing'er said without changing her expression.

Li Luo looked at her smooth and beautiful face. Indeed, the prettier the woman, the more easily she can lie without blinking. But well done!

Song Yunfeng's expression changed, unsure if he believed her, but he had no choice. This was the Golden Dragon Treasure House, not the Song family's territory.

In the end, he could only watch as Lu Qing'er walked in, then glanced at the box in Li Luo's hand and said coldly, "Li Luo, don't waste your efforts. Your Xi Yang House can't compete with our Songzi House."

Li Luo smiled, "That's not certain. Did you ever think I would tie with you before?"

Song Yunfeng was instantly defeated, his face turning ashen, his eyes blazing with anger as if he wanted to devour Li Luo.

However, Li Luo ignored him and entered the room with Cai Wei.
