"Sister Lingqing, which fifth-grade spirit liquid are you most familiar with?" Seeing her perk up, Li Luo smiled encouragingly.
"Heavenward spirit liquid. I'm most familiar with its formula, and it's the one I've been practicing. But like I said, I've never succeeded before," Yan Lingqing said.
He nodded and called over the staff to tell them that they were going to change their refining materials. Very soon, a new batch of ingredients was streaming into the refining workshop.
Song Qiuyu had already walked out of her own refining workshop with a superior smile. "Yan Lingqing, still struggling? No way you can turn the tables," she gloated to herself. She was feeling very good about having decisively beaten Yan Lingqing.
Back at the Resonance Tempering Hall, Yan Lingqing had always been firmly in the lead. Later on, Yan Lingqing had brought Song Qiuyu into the refining group, but that teacher had continued to favor Yan Lingqing and treat Song Qiuyu coldly.
It had made her extremely resentful and jealous. She felt that her talent was comparable. The teacher's bias was unfair!
Although Yan Lingqing was kind, it was a kindness that smacked of pity. She did not want it. Yan Lingqing, you were just trying to show off how nice you were!
"Now it is my win!"
...
"Ready."
Li Luo looked over at Yan Lingqing.
The latter took a deep breath and then nodded gravely.
"Glass solution, 10 drops!"
Li Luo immediately pulled out a transparent fruit and squeezed gently until 10 drops were in a test tube. He put a pulse of resonant power in.
This one was slightly more than his experiment previously.
He handed over the test tube, and she started to purify it and condense the medicinal properties.
But this time, she could feel a strong and vital resonant power that was helping her tune things. She was taken aback by its presence.
Most crucially, it was not at all hindering her processing. It was as though someone had secretly added a powerful watersource to it.
And then a jolt of understanding flooded through her, making her turn to look at Li Luo anew.
If she still did not understand at this point, then she would truly be a numbskull.
She did not speak about it, quickly settling herself. With the help of that revitalizing resonant power, she swiftly began to purify the ingredients.
"Citric Drizzle Fruit.
"Cloud Rootgrass.
"Blossom Paste."
The names tumbled off her tongue in quick succession, and Li Luo promptly supplied the ingredient each time.
Time ticked on.
The other resonance artificers were done. There were successes and failures, but none of it mattered. Before Song Qiuyu's fifth-grade spirit liquid, they were all defeated.
Therefore, all eyes were now turned to the last refining workshop yet to finish—Suncreek Villa.
"Not giving up yet?"
Mo Ling was smiling smugly up from the Song family's viewing area. He shook his head. "Yan Lingqing, struggling like a fish on the hook. Does she think she can produce a fifth-grade spirit liquid too?"
"Impossible. She's not at the fifth-grade level yet. Even Qiuyu could not have done it if not for the secret Inkwater ingredients."
Song Shan gave a calculated smile. "The moment Qiuyu is declared Artificer Prime, we will announce the launch of the Inkwater Villa's products. It will definitely cause a huge stir, and the Suncreek Villa can basically pack up and close."
Song Shan's heartbeat quickened as he imagined the moment.
After today, the Pine Nut Villa would be the best villa in the Tianshu Province.
At the Golden Dragon Bank's spectator area, President Lu frowned. "There must be some trouble at the Suncreek Villa side. The Song family is working together with the Inkwater Villa. They delivered huge quantities of their secret formulas before. They must be aiming to crush the Suncreek Villa today."
Lu Qing'er was alarmed to hear this. The Song family must have been planning to make their move at this festival.
Their goal? To surpass the Suncreek Villa and dominate the spirit liquids and purifying lights market in the Tianshu Province.
Over at House Luolan's side, Cai Wei felt a tingle of excitement upon seeing Yan Lingqing rally herself. She knew of the grudge between the two. If she lost here, it would be a big mental blow.
Still, she was very anxious. She did not understand how Yan Lingqing could possibly turn this around.
