But what Li Luo didn't expect was that this awkwardness came faster than he had imagined.

  On the second day in the early morning, he was still sleeping when he was woken up by a sudden knock on the door. He hastily got out of bed and opened the door, bleary-eyed, to look at the girl standing at the entrance.

  That is Bai Mengmeng.

  At this time, she had a black eye circle, but her innocent and lovely face was full of excitement. She looked at Li Luo who opened the door and excitedly said: "Captain... I, I succeeded!"

  Li Luo was still in a daze and somewhat confused: "What succeeded?"

  "Four-star Lingshui Qiguang formula!" Bai Mengmeng's small face turned bright red.

  Li Luomeng's eyes widened in shock as he stared at Bai Mengmeng: "Succeeded?!"

  "Hmm!"

  Bai Mengmeng nodded vigorously.

  "Wait for me to change clothes." Li Luo was overjoyed, then suddenly pulled Bai Mengmeng into the room, closing the door behind her.

  At the same time, on that balcony, Xīn Fú was basking in the sun with his eyes slightly narrowed, watching this scene, and suddenly he had an inspiration for creation.

  Bang!

  However, the tightly closed door was soon pulled open again, and out came Bai Mengmeng with a bright red face, this time the redness had spread all the way to her ears.

  Her face turned red with anger, and she muttered: "Captain, what's wrong with you... dragging me to change clothes..."

  "But..."

  The captain's figure is still pretty good.

  The door opened again, and Li Luo walked out with a change of clothes. He smiled awkwardly at Bai Mengmeng in the doorway, saying, "Sorry, I was too excited earlier."

  The considerate girl shook her head, for she was equally excited, and Li Luo's excitement would only be more than hers.

  "Come on, let's go to the refining room and give it a try." Li Luo couldn't wait any longer, pulling Bai Mengmeng along as they quickly headed towards the underground room downstairs. As his gaze swept past the balcony, he caught sight of Xin Fu who had been watching this way all along.

  Xin Fu smiled warmly at him.

  Looking at his smile, Li Luo felt that this kid had signs of making trouble, but now he really didn't have the heart to bother with him, so he could only hope that this teammate wouldn't go further down the road of seeking death.

  Lila dragged Bai Mengmeng all the way to the refining room.

  Then Bai Mengmeng took out a special paper that was impervious to water and fire, the most durable for preservation. On the paper, many beautiful characters were carefully recorded.

  Bai Mengmeng handed it over to Li Luo with a proud expression, saying: "Captain, this is a four-star, third-grade spiritual water formula."

  Li Luo carefully accepted the exaggerated prescription, his eyes carefully examining it. It was a kind of fusion process and reaction involving many materials, with many detailed deductions and changes.

  。

  Li Luo Yue looked more and more astonished, after all he was also a third-grade Qu Xiang Master now, and had come into contact with many formulas of spiritual water and strange light, so he could see at a glance the rarity and subtlety of Bai Meng Meng's formula.

  And each of these fusion processes requires countless attempts, as well as an extremely deep understanding of the properties of those countless materials, in order to extract their characteristics, combine them with multiple changes, and ultimately obtain some desired products.

  "It's indeed a four-star formula..."

  Li Luo sighed, in the Great Summer, the spiritual water and strange light formulas are divided into five star levels. The higher the star level of the formula, the rarer and more powerful it is. Simply put, the higher the star level of the formula, the higher the limit of its refinement will be.

  For example, the same three-product spiritual water, the two-star formula produced spiritual water, its refining power limit can reach 60%.

  Three-star formula, its refining power upper limit can reach sixty-five percent.

  Four-star formula, then there is another upgrade, extreme tempering power can reach an astonishing 70%!

  In other words, the level of the Ling Shui Qi Guang formula will determine the limit of its finished product's tempering power.

  Even if a low-star formula is used, even if it's made by a high-quality alchemist and mixed with extremely pure secret source water, it's probably still hard to exceed its limit value.

  It's hard for a clever wife to cook without rice.

  No matter how strong your abilities are, and no matter how high the purity of the Secret Method's source water and source light is, if the level of the formula restricts you, then what difference can the final result make?

  This is also why all major Ling Shui Qi Guang houses attach such importance to the level of their formulae.

  Of course, the ultimate refining power of a formula is not so easy to reach. Previously in Xi Yang House, Li Luo and Tang Yun competed to refine Hongni Ling Shui, which was only a two-star third-grade spiritual water. Its ultimate refining power value should be around 60%, but even with Li Luo's help using his own secret method, the final product was only at 58%.

  Although this is also related to Li Luo's initial promotion to third-grade alchemist, it can be seen that wanting to reach the limit value of a formula is not so simple, even if it is only a two-star formula.

  "This is a three-product spiritual water formula. I happen to be a third-grade Qu Xiang master now, so let's refine it and take a look." Li Luo was somewhat impatient.

  Bai Mengmeng nodded, her ability was more about researching formulas, in fact, her own tempering technique wasn't that high, so after this formula was researched, she hadn't actually refined it herself.

  To put it simply... the formula is just theoretical and lacks actual practice.

  Of course, generally speaking, if you can get this far with a formula, then you've already succeeded 90%.

  In the refining room, there were quite a few materials left over from Bai Mengmeng's previous research, among which happened to be the ones needed for this four-star spiritual water formula.

  Li Luo directly started refining.

  It's just this move

  His hands, his god-like appearance also gradually became solemn, their Xiyang house was not without three spiritual water formulas, but the complexity of those formulas, compared to Bai Mengmeng's research, was at least one level weaker.

  All I can say is that it's worthy of a four-star formula.

  So at the beginning, Li Luo unexpectedly failed more than a dozen times.

  Having failed so many times, Li Luo's face was a bit unsightly, and he flashed an awkward smile at Bai Mengmeng who had been staring at him: "First time coming into contact with such a high-star formula, just give me some understanding."

  It's heartbreaking, after all, she is the young mistress of the Luolan Prefecture, how can her life be so miserable?

  "Team captain, come on!" The girl gave encouragement.

  Li Luo nodded vigorously, then concentrated his mind, suppressed the tension and anxiety, and continued to work hard on this four-star formula.

  And this time, it was much smoother.

  After a full hour of intense fusion, Li Luo almost burned out all the materials in the refining room, and his refinement finally reached its final stage.

  In front of him, eighteen crystal tubes stood quietly upright, each containing hundreds of crystallized materials.

  Li Luo took a deep breath, let out a low shout, and lifted his palms, stirring up his inner energy.

  Only eighteen crystal pipes burst forth with materials shooting out and converging in mid-air before me, as if forming a whirlpool.

  Whirlpools revolve, mutual forces rise and fall.

  After about a few minutes, the vortex began to disperse, and a drop of liquid that shone with a faint starlight fell rapidly into a crystal bottle in front of Li Luo.

  As the last drop of liquid fell, Li Luo picked up the crystal bottle, and an uncontrollable joy appeared on his face.

  "It succeeded!"

  Bai Mengmeng on the side was also excited and quickly handed over a pregnancy test stick.

  Li Luo inserted it into the crystal bottle.

  The two people looked at each other with extremely tense eyes.

  Then I saw the pointer of the thermometer, and it instantly rose to 60% of the scale.

  Li Luo took a deep breath of cool air, it's so terrifying, just the first refinement, its tempering power has reached the extreme value of Xi Yang Wu Hong Ni Ling Shui!

  After he becomes more skilled in refining, won't his refining strength be even higher?

  This explosive result can be completely determined that the formula studied by Bai Mengmeng is absolutely authentic and four-star!

  "Wow! I did it!"

  Bai Mengmeng was over the moon, grabbing Li Luo's hands excitedly and jumping up and down with joy, because this was also her first time successfully researching a four-star formula.

  Li Luo gazed at the joyful girl in front of him and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

  What a treasure!
