The aftermath of the grand exam continued in Nanfeng City for several days, with the heat still lingering, a testament to the exams influence.

  After the grand examination, the students of Nanfeng Academy will have a one-week vacation, and then they will go to the academy again to receive their admission quotas, completely ending their studies at Nanfeng Academy.

  Because of being the top scorer in the big exam, Li Luos popularity in Nanfeng City has increased exponentially recently, which made him feel quite annoyed. As a result, he hasnt gone out for several days and has been staying in his old mansion to practice his Xiangli and study divination techniques. In his free time, he continued to practice the Ling Shui Qi Guang technique.

  Its also leisurely and fulfilling.

  ...

  Clang!

  In an old houses training room.

  Li Luo held a pair of knives in his hands, with all his strength unleashed, his attack was like a wave, one after another, he launched a full-force assault on the figure standing opposite him.

  The person who was sparring with him was a guard in the old mansion, whose strength was at the first segment of Xiang Shi. At this moment, he had suppressed his own Xiang Li and was engaged in a fierce battle with him.

  Mutual cultivation and practice, after the tenth seal boundary, is the realm of mutual teacher.

  The three stages of the astrological realm, the first stage is called the "Opening Seed Stage", it is said that this is where the astrological power in the astrological palace condenses into a ball, like a seed sprouting out, hence the name "Opening Seed Stage".

  The second stage is the life line stage. At this level, the lines of force become thicker and will gradually form a pattern on top of the lines of fate, which is called the life line. The name "life line" comes from this.

  The third paragraph is the phase of transformation. When the power of the phase reaches this level, its own phase will gradually undergo a metamorphosis, preparing for the subsequent impact.

  If the tenth stage of cultivation is only for beginners who cultivate with external force, then the eleventh stage is where one truly starts to grasp the threshold of cultivation.

  The gap between them is enormous.

  And this gap was also clearly felt when Li Luo fought with this guard.

  Although the latter suppressed his strength, barely reaching ten seals, Li Luo found that any of his attacks were difficult to pose a threat to his opponent, unless he transformed his twin blades into a bow and arrow, unleashing his strongest arrow.

  Clang!

  Li Luos twin blades, with a blue water mang speeding around them, slashed at the iron club in the guards hand and then a massive force rebounded back, causing Li Luo to retreat several steps.

  He stopped his hand in a somewhat helpless manner, waving it at the other party, indicating that it was over.

  "The young master is indeed formidable. Clearly only at the 8th rank, yet hes able to make me feel pressure." The guard said with a clenched fist salute.

  This statement is not entirely an exaggeration, because he found that after suppressing the opposing force, Li Luos attack could indeed bring him a bit of danger.

  Around the training ground, there were other old mansion guards who also nodded secretly, and in their gaze towards Li Luo, there was something that they did not possess before, which could be said to be a kind of reverence and trust.

  Li Luo obtained the first place in the great examination of Tian Shu Prefecture, and has already made everyone no longer dare to regard him as the former powerless and incompetent Prime Minister.

  In the future, Li Luo may not reach the level of Jiang Qingwa, but no one will underestimate him again.

  The young master of this Luolan Prefecture is gradually radiating his brilliance.

  Li Luo nodded with a smile and walked towards the edge of the training field, where Cai Wei was waiting.

  Today, Cai Wei wore a red skirt with peony flowers embroidered on it in silk thread, which was extremely delicate. Her slender and elegant figure was even more accentuated by the red skirt, which wrapped around her body to create a fiery curve that was as charming as a newly bloomed flower.

  In this sweat-filled training ground, many men, although their eyes dare not gaze directly, cast furtive glances.

  That is the mans instinctual appreciation of women.

  "Vivian." Li Luo smiled and called out.

  Cai Wei smiled and said: "The young master of the Ministry of Works is indeed hardworking, he has achieved first place in the imperial examination, and yet he still practices so diligently every day."

  "Its just the first place in Tianxuan County, not much gold content. I heard that some other strong counties even had students who reached the tenth boundary in this big exam." Li Luo shook his head and said.

  His words were not false, Tian Shu County was only a middle county among the hundred counties of Da Xia, from which it can be seen that in other strong counties, there must be students with even stronger strength.

  "Is it Wei Jie looking for me?" Li Luo asked.

  "Ling Qing has arrived, there must be something going on," said Cai Wei.

  "Alright then, lets go."

  As she spoke, she left the training ground with Cai Wei, walked through the corridor, and came to a living room. Then, she saw Yan Lingqing, who was wearing a green outfit, silver-rimmed glasses, and looked exceptionally elegant and calm.

  Yan Lingqing sat down and said, "First of all, let me report to you that the sales performance of Xi Yang Wu has risen sharply recently. This is all due to the secret method source water you provided. At the current sales rate, Im afraid that this year, the Xi Yang Wu branch in Tianxuan Prefecture will be able to reach a sales volume of one million yuan. After deducting various costs, the profit will likely be around 300,000 yuan."

  Li Luo heard this and couldnt help but exclaim in admiration. To think that the total annual profit of Luolan Manor in Tienshu County was only about 3 million Tianliang gold coins, yet this year, just Qiuyangwu alone could reach this level, showing a huge increase.

  Of course, he also understood that the main reason for this was the secret method source water he provided. With his cultivation reaching eight imprints, the amount of source water he provided had increased compared to before. As a result, these secret method source waters were now being used on the second-grade spiritual water, Qi Guang, which led to a sharp increase in the income of Xi Yang House.

  Then he calculated that if 300,000 pieces of Tianliang Jin were used to buy Liu Pin Ling Shui Qi Guang, it seemed that about ten could be bought.

  A bit less.

  Li Luoxin couldnt help but smile bitterly in his heart, and at this moment, he understood even more how deep the pit of fate was.

  Yan Lingqing reported these things and then changed the subject, saying: "A few days ago, didnt you meet Song Qiuyu at Qingfeng Building? And there was also a guy named Mo Ling?"

  Li Luo was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "That guy wants to come and cause trouble, theres been some conflict."

  "Mo Ling was from the Mo family of Beiqiu County, a large family in Dashu that specialized in spiritual water and strange light. Their Ink Water House could rank among the top ten in Dashu, with strong foundation and strength."

  "According to the intelligence weve gathered, the Song family may choose to collaborate with Ink Manor and bring them into Tianxu County, thereby countering Creek House." Cai Wei said softly.

  Li Luo furrowed his brow, so the Song family is seeking outside help now?

  "On that day, Song Qiuyu will appear in the Clear Wind Building, most of which is her carefully designed plan, no more than to let Mo Ling and you have some conflict, so as to promote cooperation between their two families."

  "This woman is very cunning and will stop at nothing to achieve her goals." Yan Lingqings eyebrows furrowed slightly, clearly unimpressed with Song Qiuyu.

  Li Luo couldnt help but smile wryly, and this emotion inadvertently became a boost to that Song Qiuyu, which was something he hadnt expected before. He really underestimated that woman.

  "Song Qiuyu has returned at this time, and it should be for the Ling Shui Qi Guang Festival next month. She will likely compete for the title of Tianxu Countys first-rate spiritual master, and then create momentum for Songzi House," said Yan Lingqing.

  "Ling Qing is our Xiyangwus signboard, can you surpass her?" Li Luo asked.

  "Ive been rivals with her for a long time, weve competed many times at Shengxuan Xuefu, both sides have won and lost, this time I dont know the outcome either, but I wont underestimate her, Ill be fully prepared during this period." Yan Lingqing said, in the silver frame of her eyes, a fierce fighting spirit was burning, obviously Song Qiuyus arrival had ignited her desire to fight.

  "It seems this is Ling Qings arch-nemesis." Li Luo said with a smile.

  "When you arrive at Shengxuan Xing Academy later, youll know how incompatible we are."

  Yan Lingqin said in a deep voice: "But what Im more worried about is that when the time comes, the spiritual light of Mo Shuiwus house will be forcibly pushed out by them."

  "What level of quality can the spiritual light of the Inkstone Houses Ling Shui achieve?" Li Luo thought for a moment before asking.

  "If the Ink House wants to enter the Tian Shu County, it should be mainly focused on three-star and below spiritual water and strange light. As far as I know, the first-class product of the Ink House is called Black Star Spiritual Water, with a refining power that can reach 62%."

  "The name of the second product is Black Moon Spiritual Water, and its refining power is also 61%."

  "The name of the three-star product is Hei Yue Qi Guang, with a refining power of 60%."

  Li Luo raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, and indeed, the spiritual water produced by Lingguang House was far superior to all of Xi Yang Houses products. This showed that in terms of formula, Xi Yang House was far inferior to Mo Shui House. If not for its high-purity secret source water, it wouldnt even be comparable to its opponent.

  However, he was not anxious about this. Although the quality of the formula was inferior to his opponents, Li Luo believed that his opponent did not have an advantage in terms of the source of the secret method.

  At present, the first edition of Xi Yang Houses enhanced Qing Bi Ling Shui uses source water that is still at the same level as the five-element water light refining method. Therefore, if Li Luo is willing, the secret method source water he provides can further improve the purity by a large margin.

  But because this purity is already sufficient for use, he didnt say it out loud. However, if the ink house becomes overbearing in the future, then it cant be blamed on him for using the original waters purity to suppress others.

  Next, Yan Lingqin once again discussed with Li Luo for a while before hastily leaving, apparently to prepare for the Spiritual Waters Strange Light Festival next month.

  After Yan Lingqing left, Cai Wei took out three crystal bottles from her bosom and gently placed them in front of Li Luo.

  "This is..."

  Li Luo stared at the three crystal bottles that were obviously expensive, with some faint light patterns engraved on them. The design was much more advanced than the Ling Shui Qi Guang he had seen before.

  And Li Luo also sensed in the first time the strong tempering property contained in the liquid of the crystal bottle.

  "Whats this? Six-tiered Spiritual Water with a strange glow?" Li Luos face showed surprise.

  He has been using the remaining fifth-grade Spirit Water Crystal Light for some time, but he found that as the water light evolved to sixth grade, the effect of this fifth-grade Spirit Water Crystal Light on him was greatly discounted. He had been worried and wanted to ask Cai Wei to help him purchase sixth-grade Spirit Water Crystal Light, but he also understood the price of sixth-grade goods, so he endured it for the time being and planned to start purchasing sixth-grade Spirit Water Crystal Light after going to Dashacastle.

  But at this moment, Cai Wei seemed to have given him a little surprise.

  "Shaofu Master, although I dont know why you keep using large amounts of Ling Shui Qi Guang, Im not curious about it. Your recent performance has proven that these Ling Shui Qi Guang have achieved their due value."

  "So, although its quite difficult to get the funds flowing, Ive still managed to save up and scrape together three bottles of Six-Petal Spirit Water for you. Its a bit less than what we needed, but it should be enough to make do." Cai Wei said with a smile, her smooth white face glowing radiantly in the lamplight.

  Li Luohuan happily grasped the three six-product spiritual water qigong in his hand, then looked at Cai Wei and said emotionally: "If I wasnt afraid of being beaten by Sister Cai Wei, I would have given you a hug."

  Cai Wei couldnt help but laugh out loud, gently shaking the flower-shaped fan, and playfully winking at Li Luo.

  "Such words, the young master of the Ministry of Works should save for the little girls in your school. For me, these sweet nothings are not as attractive as that face of yours."

  After finishing speaking, she turned around and left with a swaying figure.

  Li Luo gazed at her charming and alluring figure, touched his cheek, and let out a sigh.

  This damned guy is so handsome that even Cai Wei cant help but be charmed.
