On the stage, there are refining rooms surrounded by transparent crystal walls, and Yan Lingqing is in one of the refining rooms, sorting out some things on the stage.
When Li Luo walked in, she glanced at him and said, "You really can meet your little female classmate wherever you go."
Apparently the previous scene between Li Luo and Lu Qing'er was also seen by her.
"A chance encounter." Li Luo explained.
"I think she's quite interested in you," Yan Lingqing said.
Li Luo said quickly: "Nonsense, I won't allow you to insult our purest relationship as classmates!"
Yan Lingqing snorted and said, "This has nothing to do with me. This little girl is actually quite capable, but I don't know if she can stop her when she meets the empress of the palace when she arrives at Shengxuanxing Academy."
"It's getting more and more outrageous. I'm still a royal empress, so what am I? The emperor?" Li Luo said angrily.
"That's a nice thought."
Yan Lingqing snorted lightly, then stopped talking to him and handed over a recipe: "This is the spiritual water I plan to refine later. Please familiarize yourself with it."
Li Luo quickly took it and looked at it carefully. The fourth-grade spiritual water that Yan Lingqing planned to refine was called "Cyanobacteria Spiritual Water". Its refining difficulty was higher than that of fourth-grade spiritual water. Obviously, , she was also ruthless in order to defeat Song Qiuyu.
Li Luo took a look at the materials needed to prepare this "blue algae spirit water" and couldn't help but gasp, because it required more than four hundred ingredients, and if he wanted to prepare these materials perfectly, he couldn't help but take a breath. Making the slightest mistake obviously requires extremely high requirements for one's own tempering skills.
"Is this the formula for the fourth-grade spiritual water? It is really difficult." Li Luo sighed. Now he can refine the second-grade spiritual water, but it only requires a hundred kinds of materials to defeat the dead. Compared with the fourth-grade spiritual water, Water really doesn’t compare.
Moreover, the fusion between the materials for refining the fourth-grade spiritual water is also extremely complicated. The materials for the second-grade spiritual water are at most two-fold fusion, but the materials for the fourth-grade spiritual water need to reach six-fold fusion. This increase in difficulty, It's just a leap.
At this time, people started to bring in the refining materials one after another, and they were piled up neatly. As an assistant, Li Luo went to check them carefully.
Yan Lingqing smiled when she saw this, quite satisfied with Li Luo's attentiveness and seriousness.
As time went by, the top quenching masters from the Lingshui Qiguang House in Tianshu County all entered their respective refining rooms, and Li Luo also saw Song Qiuyu entering from the Songzi House.
As soon as she entered the scene, her eyes were cast in the direction of Yan Lingqing. The two women's eyes met each other, and there seemed to be faint sparks surging.
Yan Lingqing's face was expressionless, but there were faint blue veins on the white hands that were clasped together, which showed how much emotions were fluctuating in her heart.
"Why do I feel that you hate her so much?" Li Luo also noticed Yan Lingqing's mood and asked with some confusion. After all, Yan Lingqing usually didn't seem to have much interest in anything other than refining spiritual water and strange light. Interested, but Song Qiuyu reacted quite a lot.
Yan Lingqing was silent for a moment after hearing this, and said calmly: "I actually had a pretty good relationship with her before, and I even strongly recommended her to my teacher's refining group, but then in a key competition, She made a bad mistake that caused us to lose, and the teacher was very angry at the time, and after that, she chose to quit our refining group."
"Originally, this was nothing, but soon afterwards, she entered another refining team, and this refining team happened to be the one that defeated us because of her mistakes in that competition."
Li Luo said: "This is another white-eyed wolf."
Although Yan Lingqing did not give any more information, it is not difficult to guess that Song Qiuyu's lame mistake may have something to do with it, or even that he was bribed by the other party.
As Yan Lingqing's recommender, the latter's betrayal would undoubtedly make her feel extremely guilty towards her teacher. This is no wonder that she always had difficulty controlling her emotions when seeing Song Qiuyu.
Yan Lingqing didn't speak anymore, just lowered his head and sorted the materials.
Li Luo did not continue to ask, but continued to check the materials until another bell rang in the center of the venue, and then the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became high and boiling.
A staff member walked into the arena and announced each of the participating Lingshui Qiguang House Tempering Masters one by one.
When the names of these tempering masters are heard, there will be some cheers from the audience. They are relatively famous in Tianshu County.
In one of the stands, President Lu of the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce looked at the refining platform in Xiyangwu and said with a smile: "This Li Luo is really everywhere."
Lu Qing'er, who was holding a small umbrella on the side, smiled and said: "He is also a physiognomist, so let's gain experience."
The bejeweled President Lu glanced at Lu Qing'er's pretty and charming face and said tentatively: "Qing'er, you seem to be a little close to Li Luo recently."
Lu Qing'er's eyes moved and she said calmly: "What's wrong?"
President Lu laughed dryly and said, "I just want to say that after all, Li Luo is an engaged person..."
Lu Qing'er stared at a young and handsome figure behind the crystal wall in the field. She was silent for a moment and then said: "That kind of engagement should be in name only, right?"
"Who knows..." President Lu spread his hands.
"Second uncle, you are overthinking. I don't like Li Luo, but he has helped me and saved me, so I have a good relationship with him. You can't let me not even make friends, can you?" Lu Qing'er said .
"No no."
President Lu shook his head quickly and said with a sigh of relief: "But it's okay if you don't like it. Now that you have entered Shengxuanxing Academy, you are also going to the royal city. Your mother is there... and you are in your mother's house." In front of you, try to mention Li Luo as little as possible."
Lu Qing'er was startled, then frowned: "Why?"
President Lu hesitated and hesitated, and finally said: "It's all about the grudges between the previous generation, so don't ask. Anyway, don't talk less about Li Luo in front of your mother."
There were some doubts in Lu Qing'er's eyes, and she finally nodded slightly, but for some reason, some annoyance suddenly surged in her heart.
clang! clang!
At this time, there was a rushing sound in the venue, and everyone understood that this was the beginning of the big festival competition.
The atmosphere in the field suddenly condensed.
In the refining rooms composed of crystal walls, the tempering masters also looked solemn.
The next moment, all the tempering masters' bodies suddenly erupted with the power of water or light. Amidst the cheers, the materials in their hands quickly dissolved.
The big festival competition has begun.
