The Shengxuan Star Academy under the night sky, with a gentle breeze.

  A wine house in the academy.

  Such wine houses are usually only open for a short period of time in the dark alleys, and are used to relieve some students' tension. The special product sold by the wine house is called "Green Ant Brew". Green ants are a type of ant that lives on the surface of the tree, collecting sap from the tree and brewing it into this product, which has a calming effect after processing.

  Li Luo, Jiang Qing'e and Yan Lingqing sat down at a window in the wine house.

  Li Luo held the jug, and green wine flowed out of the spout, filling the cups for the two women. He then took a sip himself, feeling that strange sensation, and lightly exhaled.

  The tense spirit in the dark cave was also slightly relieved.

  "I heard that your 13th stronghold had a major disaster-level anomaly this time, I was worried to death earlier." Yan Lingqing on the other hand, was holding Jiang Qing'e's hand, full of worry.

  Jiang Qing'e smiled and comforted her.

  "Ling Qing sister, which talented student from Qinxin Academy have you invited?" Li Luo asked with a smile about the purpose of tonight's gathering.

  "Ling Xue, in the current Refining Academy, she is one of the few fifth-grade refiners who can be counted on her fingers. Moreover, her reputation in the Refining Academy is not low. If you can pull her into Xi Yang House, I'm sure many people will follow." Yan Lingqing said with a smile.

  "Wǔ pǐn cuì xiāng shī..." translates to "Five Treasures of the Refining Master..."

  Li Luo couldn't help but click his tongue, no wonder he was a Qu Xiang Yuan, even a fifth-grade Qu Xiang master could bring out such a move. It's worth noting that a Qu Xiang master of this level would be an object of fierce recruitment by all major Ling Shui Qi Guang houses in any part of Da Xia.

  "If she is willing to come to Xi Yang House, I can even give up this position to her." Li Luo was not hiding his admiration for the other party at all.

  After all, Han Sik, the former head of Cheoyang-hoe who was lured and betrayed by Daejung-hoe, was only a fifth-class official.

  A refiner of this level can even enter the upper echelons of those top ten Spirit Water Jade Light Houses in the Great Xia ranking.

  "I'm afraid others will look down on Xiyangwu's location." Jiang Qing'e took a sip of the green wine, smiling faintly.

  "Honestly, the scale of Xi Yang's house is really not that attractive to others."

  Yan Lingqing was straightforward, saying: "Lei Bi learned elder sister only agreed to come over and chat with me, I feel that she is interested in Xiyang House's unique seven-product pure degree secret method source water."

  "However, although this level of Secret Method Origin Water is rare, it's not like the top ten ranked Spirit Water Qigong Houses don't have any, so..."

  She didn't finish what she was saying, but Li Luo understood anyway. To put it bluntly, the Creek Sun House Temple was just too small, and whether they could keep this great Buddha was still an unknown quantity.

  After all, others are not related to them and have no reason to take risks for their future to stay in their Xiyang House.

  In those top-notch spiritual water and strange light houses, they can communicate with higher-level Qu Xiang masters, improve themselves, and there are also higher-grade formulas, giving them more opportunities to learn.

  In comparison, the Xiyang House is indeed lacking in appeal.

  "Do your best." Jiang Qing'e could only say that. After all, if the other party was really not interested, they couldn't force them.

  "It's all your fault." Yan Lingqing complained to Jiang Qing'e.

  "What did I do wrong?" Jiang Qing'e asked with a smile.

  "You have a nine-rank Brightness Aspect, if you also become a Quenching Aspect Master, now it's not certain that you'll be sixth rank. In the future, when you're designated as the number one Quenching Aspect Master of Great Xia, at that time, will Creek Sun House still not flourish? You are simply wasting your Quenching Aspect talent." Yan Lingqing was somewhat disappointed.

  Jiang Qing'e smiled, but did not argue with Yan Lingqing. What could the sixth-grade Zhuan Xiangshi do anyway? Could he change the precarious situation of the Luo Lan Mansion? Moreover, although Zhuan Xiangshi had a certain status, in terms of power, he was still no match for her own cultivation.

  What she wants is absolute power, not relying on Ling Shui's strange light to manipulate people, which doesn't fit her character.

  So, even if she was pregnant with a nine-rank Brightness Attribute Spirit Root, she still chose to focus on her own cultivation without wavering.

  Li Luo didn't say anything because she understood why Jiang Qing'e made this choice. If her parents hadn't gone missing, they would still be in Luoluo Manor, and perhaps Jiang Qing'e would have chosen to try to cultivate the Xiang Master. But after they disappeared, the burden of Luoluo Manor fell on her shoulders. After all, at that time Li Luo was just an empty Xiang, and she couldn't bear this responsibility.

  In that case, Jiang Qing'e would be even less likely to have the time and energy to try another Shuixiang master.

  The reason he walked the path of Qu Xiang Shi is actually more because of his own special acquired destiny, if not for this reason, he would probably not have touched upon Qu Xiang Shi.

  As they were talking, Li Luo suddenly saw a tall figure walking up the stairs. It was a girl wearing a blue shirt, with a beautiful face and short hair that looked quite neat.

  When she appeared, Yan Lingqin also discovered her and immediately stood up and beckoned.

  Then the girl in blue walked over, Yan Lingqing smiled and held her hand, leading her to take a seat.

  "This is Li Bi's older sister."

  "Needless to say, this is Jiang Qing'e. And this is Li Luo." Yan Lingqing gave a brief introduction for both parties.

  Li Bi first smiled at Jiang Qing'e, nodded and said: "Sister Jiang's name is like thunder in my ears."

  "Li Xuejie is being polite." Jiang Qing'e also smiled back, Li Bi was a student of the Fourth Star Institute, one level higher than her.

  Li Bi finally looked at Li Luo and nodded slightly: "Junior Brother Li Luo."

  The attitude is neither cold nor enthusiastic.

  "Li Bi Xue sister." Li Luo didn't mind at all, revealing a bright and cheerful smile. Since he had come to seek wisdom, his attitude was naturally one of respect.

  It doesn't matter if it has any effect or not, but what needs to be done still needs to be done.

  Both sides took their seats, with Yan Lingqing enlivening the atmosphere, and it was quite harmonious.

  After chatting for a while, Li Bi finally brought the topic back. She looked at Jiang Qing'e and Li Luo with her eyes shining, asking: "I heard that Xi Yang Wu has a kind of top-grade pure source water?"

  Jiang Qing'e glanced at Li Luo, who nodded slightly and took out a bottle of Secret Method Source Water from his bosom, handing it to Li Bi. He smiled and said, "What Sister Li Bi said is true, this isn't considered a secret anymore."

  Li Bi took over the bottle of Secret Origin Water, opened it, and wrapped a drop of Secret Origin Water with her spiritual power. After carefully sensing for a moment, she exclaimed in surprise: "Indeed, this is Secret Origin Water that has reached the upper seventh grade purity! This must be the secret weapon of Xi Yang House. In the past half year, Xi Yang House's rise to prominence is largely due to this object."

  She put down the bottle and looked at Li Luo, saying: "However, the disadvantage of Xi Yang House is too obvious. Without a high-quality spiritual master to preside over it, and lacking high-star spiritual water formulas, even with this secret method of Yuan Shui, it's hard for Xi Yang House to compete with those top-ranked spiritual water houses in Dashu."

  "After all, the top seven pure source water secret method, the top ten spiritual light house, is not lacking, so for the future of Xi Yang House, I don't think it's too optimistic. Moreover, even if I went to Xi Yang House, I wouldn't be able to help you much."

  She spoke bluntly, without any reserve, and then she smiled apologetically at Jiang Qing'e, Yan Lingqing.

  "I know Ling Qing's purpose today, I'm really sorry."

  She shook her head.

  "I shouldn't have joined Xi Yang's house."
