After Li Luo and Song Yunfeng reached a draw, his score in this preliminary test was firmly within the top twenty.
According to the normal process, the top twenty people will usually be ranked again, but Li Luo has no interest in this, because in his opinion, this kind of ranking battle is meaningless, after all, no matter whether he is the second
Whether you are ranked tenth or first, you only have the qualifications to take the college entrance examination.
And once too many trump cards are exposed here, when the time comes to meet a strong enemy in the college entrance examination, the opponent will have too much information about him, which will undoubtedly make it more difficult for him.
So, isn't it good to develop in a low-key manner? If he gets first place in the preliminaries, the stingy old dean won't give him any reward.
Even in this competition with Song Yunfeng, if the other party hadn't been so determined that he repeatedly jumped on the edge of death, Li Luo would most likely have chosen to admit defeat.
After all, he didn't think there was any shame in giving up if he couldn't beat him. For his improved version of "Water Mirror Technique" to be exposed here, Li Luo now felt a little unworthy.
So when Xu Shanyue came to ask him if he would participate in the competition for the top twenty places, he refused directly. With this time, he absorbed more spiritual water and the strange light, worked harder, and took advantage of the opportunity before the college entrance examination.
Wouldn’t it be delicious if one’s own “Water-Light Aspect” reaches the sixth level?
And Xu Shanyue was not surprised by Li Luo's choice. He just asked him to work hard and prepare for the college entrance examination.
The battle for the top twenty rankings came to an end on the second day. In the end, two people were selected from the second house. It was Li Luo and Zhao Kuo. However, they were both brothers in distress. Li Luo ranked fifteen and Zhao Kuo ten.
Six, which is just at the end.
Li Luo's ranking obviously has a lot of room for improvement. If he wanted to, it would not be a problem to enter the top ten, but because he gave up the competition for ranking, he was finally rated at this ranking.
And these twenty of them will represent Nanfeng Academy in two weeks, participate in the college entrance examination, and win the admission quota of Shengxuanxing Academy.
As the top academic institution in Daxia, Shengxuanxing Academy allocates some admission quotas to each county every year, and these quotas must be competed by all the universities in each county through the college entrance examination. In the past, every year, Nan
Fengxuefu has always won the most admissions, which has gradually solidified its reputation as the number one school in Tianshu County.
However, Nanfeng Academy is not completely without opponents. Dongyuan Academy is a strong opponent. Although Dongyuan Academy is not as rich as Nanfeng Academy, its rise is quite rapid. Behind it is the support of Tianshu County Governor's Office.
, in the college entrance exams in previous years, it also posed a considerable threat to Nanfeng Academy.
It is said that this year Dongyuan Academy is still eyeing the golden sign of Tianshu County's No. 1 academy. Presumably, there will be a battle between dragons and tigers in the entrance examination of that academy.
After the preliminaries, Nanfeng Academy will have more than a week of vacation. Students can choose to go home or continue to practice in the academy, and Li Luo certainly chose the former without hesitation.
Old house, the attic of Li Luo's room.
Li Luo's eyes were closed tightly, and a faint light lingered on his body. On the coffee table in front of him, there was a used fifth-grade spiritual water strange light.
The absorption lasted for a long time, and then Li Luo gradually opened his eyes, and a blue light flashed through his eyes.
"This is the last bottle of this batch."
He looked at the empty crystal bottle in front of him and couldn't help scratching his head. Until now, Cai Wei had helped him purchase 83 bottles of fifth-grade spiritual water and strange light, which cost more than 400,000 gold.
, this is a huge sum of money. If Cai Wei hadn't sold off some of the Luolan Mansion's properties in Tianshu County, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been able to support his consumption.
After absorbing so much fifth-grade spiritual water's strange light, Li Luo's fifth-grade "water-light phase" has indeed improved a lot, but there is still some distance to evolve to sixth-grade.
But he must upgrade his water-light phase to the sixth level before the big exam comes.
Although this battle with Song Yunfeng ended in a draw, Li Luo did not feel complacent because he knew that if it were not for the time mechanism of the pre-examination, the final loser would be him who had exhausted his strength.
In the college entrance examination, such a draw will never happen.
If you want to gain admission to Shengxuanxing Academy, you must rely on your true ability.
In the college entrance examination, the top students from all the colleges and universities in Tianshu County will participate. The competition is fierce, which is far from the preliminaries of Nanfeng Academy.
In addition, Li Luo has already selected an energy guidance technique to be transferred to in advance. The minimum requirement is that it requires a sixth-grade appearance.
Therefore, these six qualities of water and light are a top priority.
"According to the current progress, if you want to evolve to the sixth level, you should still need the last batch of the fifth-level water-light phase."
"But Sister Cai Wei has been walking around me lately when she sees me...it doesn't seem like she really wants to see me." Li Luo expressed that she was a little distressed. Cai Wei didn't even have breakfast at her old house these days, maybe because she was afraid.
He asked for dozens of bottles of spiritual water and strange light.
After all, the fifth-grade Lingshui Qiguang is not a big cabbage. The market price is about 5,000 gold per piece. Fifty pieces will cost 250,000 gold. This is already close to the previous year's profit of Luolan Mansion in Tianshu County.
.
So Li Luo understands this very well. He is a good gold medal butler, but after arriving in Tianshu County, he can only rely on constantly selling off Luolan Mansion's properties to maintain operations. This is simply a huge stain on his career path.
ah.
Until now, Cai Wei has not resigned, and Li Luo already feels that her mind is as broad as the sea.
But there was nothing Li Luo could do. His acquired appearance was like a gold-swallowing beast. It was a good thing that his parents left a Luo Lan mansion for him, otherwise he felt that in five years, he would most likely burp.
"Let's go to Xiyang House first."
Li Luo pondered slightly. Now that Luo Lan Mansion is in trouble both internally and externally, he can't just sit back and sell off Luo Lan Mansion's properties. Although Jiang Qing'e, the property of Tianshu County, has been left to him to squander at will, he can't really sell this place.
If he is ruined by trouble, the people below Luo Lan Mansion will also have objections to him, the young master of the mansion.
The most important thing is that this will make people suspect that he, the young master of Luo Lan Mansion, may be a fool... Li Luo obviously cannot accept this.
With some ideas in his mind, Li Luo packed up his things and left the old house and went to Xiyang House.
When he arrived at Xiyang House, he went straight to Yan Lingqing's refining room. When he pushed the door open and walked in, he saw two familiar figures sitting together, seemingly talking about something. At the same time, on their cheeks,
All with a little worry.
It was Yan Lingqing and Cai Wei.
Seeing Li Luo's figure, Cai Wei and Yan Lingqing were both startled: "Young Master?"
"What are you talking about?" Li Luo walked in with a smile, and then saw several bottles of spiritual water and strange light placed on the table in front of the two women, and one of them was the Yipin Qingqing he had refined before.
Blue water.
"We are talking about Xiyangwu's sales performance this year." Regarding Li Luo, Cai Wei did not hide anything and said directly.
"The performance is not very good?" Li Luo frowned slightly when he saw this. Xiyangwu contributed nearly half of Luolan Mansion's annual profits in Tianshu County. If the performance here deteriorates, it will obviously affect his evolution plan.
.
Yan Lingqing pointed at the crystal bottles in front of her and said in a cold voice: "Nowadays, there are two main companies competing for the first-grade spiritual water Qiguang on the market in Shu County today. One is our Qingbi Lingshui from Xiyangwu, and the other is
One is the "Rizhao Qiguang" produced by Songziwu, a subsidiary of the Song family. The quality of Lingshui Qiguang from these two companies is similar, so in the past few years, in the Yipin market, the two together accounted for nearly 80%."
"However, recently, for some reason, the quality of the "Rizhao Qiguang" produced by Songziwu has improved. The average tempering power has reached about 57%, which is almost close to the highest quality of our Xiyangwu."
"So recently, the Song family has been hyping up the "miraculous sunshine" of their pine nut house. This has led to them taking up most of the market for the first-grade spiritual water in Tianshu County, while the sales of our green spiritual water have significantly weakened. "
"If this situation continues, Xiyangwu will be completely defeated by the Song family in the competition for the First Grade Spiritual Water Qiguang. This will be a huge loss for Xiyangwu. Of course, the most important thing is
, will affect the reputation of Xiyangwu in Tianshu County."
When Li Luo heard this, his face was also slightly solemn, and he said: "What is the yield rate of Xiyangwu's first-grade spiritual water and strange light?"
"Xiyangwu in Tianshu County can produce five bottles of first-grade spiritual water and strange light every day, which is one hundred and fifty bottles a month. The price of first-grade spiritual water and strange light on the market is about fifty pieces of heavenly gold, so one
By the end of the year, the total sales of Xiyangwu's First Grade Spiritual Water Qiguang will reach about 90,000 heavenly gold pieces. Excluding all costs, the profit will be 30,000 gold pieces." Cai Wei said without thinking, obviously
He is well aware of all Luolan Mansion's properties and data in Tianshu County.
Li Luo first gave Cai Wei a thumbs up to express his appreciation, and then made a slight estimate, and was suddenly a little surprised, because the profit from this product of Lingshui Qiguang alone accounted for ten percent of Luolan Mansion's annual income in Tianshu County.
One, it can be seen from this that the market of Lingshui Qiguang has great benefits.
But this is normal, because not everyone can squander high-quality spiritual water and strange light. More people who buy first-grade and second-grade spiritual water and strange light do not mean that their own appearance is only of this grade.
, but because they may not be able to consume a large amount of higher-grade spiritual water and strange light, so they can only use low-level spiritual water and strange light as a substitute.
It's just that the efficiency of this improvement will obviously be much lower than that of using high-quality spiritual water and strange light, and the impurities will accumulate faster, but there is no way, not everyone starts with a family fortune like Li Luo.
After knowing this information, Li Luo's first feeling was that Xiyangwu must not be affected, otherwise it would definitely affect the rhythm of his future evolution of the water-light phase.
"Why has the quality of the 'Rizhao Qiguang' produced by the Song Family's Songziwu improved this year?" Li Luo asked.
"There are only three things that affect the quality of the spiritual water and strange light: the formula, the experience and strength of the person who refines it, and the quality of the source water and source light."
Yan Lingqing said calmly: "I have checked the "Rizhao Qiguang". After my analysis, it should be that the formula has been slightly changed. I think it is most likely that the Song family has spent a lot of money to hire some experts for advice."
Cai Wei crossed her left arm around her chest, supported her right elbow, and then lightly touched her snow-white chin with her right hand. She frowned and said, "In addition, Zhuang Yi has been using this excuse to attack Lingqing recently, saying that this result is because of her.
, let her exit Xiyang House."
Cai Wei and Yan Lingqing were standing together, but she didn't know that her unintentional action suddenly made the already turbulent waves a little dazzling. Especially in this comparison, Yan Lingqing next to her could only be described as miserable.
.
Yan Lingqing seemed to have noticed something, and stretched out his hand expressionlessly, pulling off Cai Wei's left arm.
Cai Wei didn't react for a while, but soon a blush spread on her gentle and charming cheeks, and at the same time, the hand under the table pinched Yan Lingqing next to her with some embarrassment.
Then, the two women cast their sharp eyes on Li Luo, and the latter was stunned for a moment. Not only did he not panic, but he said with a serious face: "When we are talking about business, don't make some small tricks. We are such a big person, and there is no such thing."
Next time, I will criticize you."
Li Luo's serious words finally only elicited a cold snort from the two women, and they both quickly ignored the matter.
"So Zhuang Yi is still causing trouble?" Li Luo asked, returning to the topic.
Mentioning Vice President Zhuang Yi, Yan Lingqing had a look of irritation on her cold cheeks, saying: "This guy is looking for trouble all day long, which has caused many conflicts within Xiyangwu. This year, the quality of Xiyangwu's products has declined, and with him,
It doesn’t matter.”
"It seems like this is a scourge, can you find a way to get rid of it?" Li Luo grinned and was very unhappy. I need a lot of money here. If you don't make money for me quickly, you are going to light a fire in my backyard?
Cai Wei frowned and said: "Now Xiyang House is leaderless. After all, Lingqing is new and his prestige is not enough. And Zhuang Yi is an old man. Some tempering masters in Xiyang House still trust him, so if there is no legitimate
Reasons, forcing them to be driven away may cause people to panic."
"Besides, behind him, after all, there is the support of Pei Hao."
Li Luo frowned. Pei Hao's white-eyed wolf was the biggest scourge of Luo Lan Mansion. Zhuang Yi was only affecting the sales of Xiyang House, but Pei Hao wanted to take over the entire Luo Lan Mansion.
Walk.
This is simply to cut off his lifeblood. Luo Lan Mansion has been taken away by you. How can I fill this bottomless pit of acquired good looks? Do you rely on face?
However, now that Pei Hao is mature, on the other hand, he is just a fledgling, and does not have the strength to fight with him. Therefore, for the time being, he can only keep a low profile and develop behind Sister Qing'e.
And just as Li Luo was thinking about it, someone suddenly came to report.
"Young Mansion Master, Chief Steward, Vice Chairman Yan... Vice Chairman Zhuang suddenly summoned all the managers of Xiyang House and said that there is a big matter to discuss, and he asked the three of them to participate."
Hearing the announcement, Li Luo, Cai Wei, and Yan Lingqing were all startled, then looked at each other and frowned at the same time.
