Resignation is clearly impossible.

  But also as Li Luo said, the current Xiyang House problem is indeed not small, and among them, there are three most serious problems.

  The first blow was the loss of the Quixing masters, and the betrayal of the previous president, Han Zhi, took away nearly half of the Quixing masters. This is a devastating loss for Xiyangwu, as the Quixing masters are the backbone of production. Without them, it will inevitably affect Xiyangwu's output.

  The second is that the Xiyang House lacks high-level Quenching Masters. The entire Xiyang House originally had five fifth-grade Quenching Masters, including Han Zhi and Pang Qianchi. Now, Han Zhi has defected, and Pang Qianchi has been put on hold, leaving only three fifth-grade masters who can be used. This number is really a bit embarrassing.

  Those top ten Ling Shui Qi Guang houses in the Great Xia ranking, such as Da Ze House of Du Ze Prefecture, have dozens of fifth-grade Qu Xiang masters, and even sixth-grade Qu Xiang masters number seven or eight... The gap in strength between these two is enormous.

  The third issue is that the Ling Shui Qi Guang formula owned by Xi Yang Wu does not count as high-end, and can only barely be considered mid-range.

  In the Great Xia Kingdom, the formula for Ling Shui Qi Guang is divided into five-star levels, with one star being the lowest and five stars being the highest.

  The formula of Xi Yang Wu is like Li Luo's most familiar Qing Bi Ling Shui, which in the first-class formula can only be considered as two-star.

  Li Luo was able to defeat the Black Star Spirit Water of Moku Su Ya in Ten Shu County with his Qing Bi Ling Shui, and it was really purely due to his high-purity Secret Method Source Water that he was able to overpower them, because their Black Star Spirit Water was an evaluated three-star formula.

  Li Luo flipped through all the Ling Shui Qi Guang formulas in Xi Yang House and found that the highest one was the current main product of Xi Yang House, San Pin's "White Feather Spirit Water", which was a three-star formula.

  As for four-star formulas, there isn't a single one.

  If Xi Yang House's future goal is to become one of the top ten Ling Shui Qi Guang Houses in Dashan, relying solely on this three-star formula is clearly not possible.

  Li Luo rubbed his brow and looked at Zheng Ping, saying: "Elder Zheng, the matter of recruiting a new master craftsman must be expedited. Otherwise, the production volume of Xiyangwu will not keep up."

  For now, we can only solve these problems one by one. The high-level tempering master's matter is urgent and cannot be delayed. The current Xiyang House probably doesn't have that kind of appeal, and the Ling Shui Qi Guang formula is also not feasible. This formula, apart from spending a lot of time researching it, can only be bought.

  But high-star formula, its price is so expensive that it's outrageous, now Xi Yang House can't afford to buy.

  "Yes." Elder Zhengping replied.

  He immediately twisted and said: "Director of the Ministry of Works, I don't know when that high-purity Secret Method Source Water can be supplied to this side of the headquarters?"

  Li Luo was taken aback by this, although the headquarters of Xi Yang Wu had lost half of its Qu Xiang masters, the number was still far more than that of Tian Shu County Branch. Therefore, the demand for Mi Fa Yuan Shui would also be greater.

  But he's just a ten-year-old kid after all!

  How can you afford to raise so many fierce and powerful cultivators?

  He had already made a promise earlier and of course he couldn't go back on his word, otherwise his reputation at the Xiyang House headquarters would be completely ruined.

  "I'll get some preparations done first, and I should be able to provide a batch to headquarters soon." Li Luo let out a sigh in his heart, then forced a smile onto his face.

  Elder Zheng Ping hastily nodded, his eyes full of expectation.

  Li Luo didn't dare to stay for long, so after giving some instructions, he ended today's Xiyangwu affairs and left the headquarters in a hurry with Jiang Qing'e and three girls.

  He felt that the top priority now was still to break through to the Xiang Shi realm as soon as possible, otherwise his small body really couldn't withstand the squeeze.

  But before that, he still had to go to the headquarters of Jindragon Treasure House to get his hands on the last two pieces of wood and earthy strange materials that he had been thinking about for a long time, and then refine the second post-heavenly phase first.

  ...

  On the second day, Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e greeted each other before heading to the headquarters of Jindragon Treasure House.

  Although the security in this big city is very good, Li Luo still brought a few guards with strength reaching the third stage of Xiang Shi realm as a precaution.

  As a neutral force in the Great Xia Empire, the headquarters of Jindragon Treasure Hall is quite special. Its headquarters is located in the bustling area of the city, with a grand scale that far surpasses the Jindragon Treasure Hall branch in Tianxuan Prefecture. From afar, it looks like a majestic giant beast lying on the ground, inspiring awe and fear, making people dare not to cause trouble here.

  Outside the Jinlongbao headquarters, the crowd was surging, and the thick and heavy bronze gate opened three sides, but it still seemed a bit crowded, which can be seen as a high level of popularity.

  Li Luo squeezed in with the crowd, and inside the grand hall was like a huge square, with a vaulted ceiling tens of meters high. The richly ornate crystal chandeliers hung from it, illuminating the hall as if it were daytime.

  Various counters are arranged in an orderly manner on all sides, and the maids wearing golden dragon treasure attire warmly welcome guests from all directions.

  But Li Luo didn't stay here, instead he went straight through the corridor and headed deeper.

  At the end of the corridor was a high-end venue leading to Baoxing, and upon entering it, the boiling noise suddenly subsided, the flow of people plummeted, and in the spacious and bright hall, crystal cabinets stood tall, displaying a dazzling array of items.

  Those items are obviously much more upscale than the ordinary scene outside.

  Of course, the price is also more expensive.

  When Li Luo entered, a slender and beautiful young maid immediately came forward to greet him. Her appearance and temperament were obviously superior to those of ordinary maids.

  "What can I get for you, sir?" The beautiful waitress bit her red lips lightly and gazed at Li Luo's handsome face. Even though she had seen many people in the Golden Dragon Hotel, this was still the first time she had seen such a handsome young man.

  She glanced lightly in other directions, where several young maidservants had reluctantly stopped in their tracks, clearly resentful of her swift precedence.

  Li Luo smiled blandly and indifferently, having become immune to such scenes of open strife and secret struggle that had arisen because of him after experiencing too many.

  "I need a rare material that contains wood and earth energy." Li Luo said with a smile.

  "What quantity is required?" The beautiful maid asked delicately.

  These various strange materials also have subtle gradations, distinguished by quantity, such as the hundred-quantity grade, thousand-quantity grade, ten-thousand-quantity grade, and so on. And this "quantity" refers to energy.

  To put it simply, it refers to what level of energy is contained in this extraordinary material.

  "Let's take a look at the thousand-kilogram ones first." Li Luo thought for a moment and said that in the Golden Dragon Treasure House of Tian Shu County, most of the rare materials he saw were hundred-kilogram ones, and there were fewer thousand-kilogram ones. After looking at some, none of them were suitable, so he decided to try his luck first at the headquarters of the Golden Dragon Treasure House.

  "Alright, follow me."

  The beautiful maid smiled, a thousand-catty treasure, the price was around several thousand gold coins, not cheap. The young man in front of her didn't seem to care about this, obviously a rich young master. This kind of customer was her favorite.

  After speaking, she turned around and walked forward, her slender waist swaying gently, her hips shaking slightly, with a hint of charm.

  Li Luo was very calm about this, because he was used to Cai Wei's charming and coquettish demeanor. The little demons in front of him were truly unattractive.

  As Li Luo followed the maid, on the second floor of this high-end venue, a beautiful young girl in a green dress, short skirt and white silk stockings glanced over and her gaze stopped at Li Luo.

  The girl's slightly listless and cold eyes suddenly sparkled with radiance.
