Chapter 0807 – Eighth-grade Waterlight Resonance
Chapter 0807 – Eighth-grade Waterlight Resonance
In the coming days, the news of the Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath Pool and who would obtain the six opportunities present were the hottest topics of discussion in the Twenty Banners.
Although this was the first time the Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath Pool had opened up to this generation, they had all done their research about it beforehand.
There were no free lunches in this world. If they wanted any opportunities, they would have to fight and struggle for them.
The same could be said about the Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath Pool.
A small number of people would enjoy the majority of this opportunity, while the rest could only obtain the leftovers.
Meanwhile, six Banner Leaders that were most likely to secure the Coiling Dragon Pillars should be the banners in the the top few ranks of the Fiendish Devil Cave according to popular vote. Well, this was assuming no surprises would crop up.
This was because the battle for it would depend on not just the individual, but the entire banner's strength. In other words, the respective Banner Leaders would have to rely on the immense power boost provided from their banner members in achieving Harmony.
In a certain sense, it was like a battle between twenty Dukes.
Furthermore, there were also slight differences between the six Coiling Dragon Pillars themselves. Simply put, there was one gold pillar, two silver pillars, and three bronze pillars.
The gold pillar referred to the pillar located in the center, coated in a shiny, golden color. It was said that the dragonbreath gathered on it was the purest of all.
Similarly, the two silver pillars were coated in silver and three other pillars were coated in bronze.
The effects from these five pillars were naturally weaker than the golden pillar.
However, most people were not too particular with these details. After all, there were only six Coiling Dragon Pillars, and it was already considered a win to secure one of them.
Besides... based on the performance of this generation's Twenty Banners to date, the golden pillar would almost certainly fall into the hands of Li Qingfeng from the Gold Blood Banner.
The other banner leaders stood little chance in snatching it away from him. Not even Lu Qingmei.
Such discussions continued amongst the Twenty Banners for quite some time.
But Li Luo paid little attention to them. Instead, he was more focused on his waterlight resonance during this period of time. After repeated resonant tempering with the liquids and lights, it had finally shown signs of leveling up.
Currently, his waterlight resonance was at the upper seventh-grade and he could finally reach the eighth-grade with the next advancement.
This was something that he had been looking forward to. An eighth-grade resonance was considered to be top-tier in general, as this was something that most geniuses possessed at the minimum.

This was also one of his greatest wishes when he resolved the problem of his blank palaces in the past—to cultivate his waterlight resonance to the eighth-grade.
Finally, this simple wish of his was about to come true.
……
In the Cultivation chamber of the Green Nether drill grounds.
Li Luo could not help but sigh a little as he stared at the bottle of seventh-grade spirit liquid on the table. He had forgotten how many bottles of spirit liquids and purifying lights he had used since he started on his journey. Frankly speaking, if all of them were added up, it would surely be a terrifying figure.
In fact, no one would have believed him even if he told them that his waterlight resonance had slowly improved from the fourth-grade, one step at a time.
This was because improving one's resonance grade was a highly challenging feat.
Li Luo had only pulled it off in such a short time because he had access to an adequate amount of liquids and lights. More importantly, his blank palaces had given him a special trait that allowed him to develop endlessly.
For an ordinary individual, the number of liquids and lights they could utilize to temper their resonance would be a limiting factor, as impurities from the liquids and lights built up in the resonant palace slowly over time. As the impurities accumulated, the effect of liquids and lights would gradually be weakened.
However, Li Luo, who possessed blank palaces, was not affected by impurities.
In other words, he was able to consume liquids and lights just like drinking water. What a miracle!
It was truly a blessing that he had left the Xia Kingdom, or House Luolan would probably have gone bankrupt to satisfy his thirst. Luckily, he had found a new place to quench his desires.
With the strong foundation of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, surely they could afford to support him right... right?
Amidst these surging emotions, Li Luo poured the bottle of seventh-grade spirit liquid in front of him into his mouth. With his ten fingers crossed, the resonant power surged out from his body following the refinement of the spirit liquid.
As time passed, the effects of the seventh-grade spirit liquid were slowly extracted and flowed into his waterlight resonant palace.
In the same moment, Li Luo's mental state was focused upon his resonant palace as well.
There was an extremely bright and clear lake in the center of the waterlight resonant palace, with only light ripples on its radiant surface.
Reflected in the middle of the lake was a great sun.
This symbolized the evolution of his waterlight resonance.
Soon, the calm surface of the lake was broken when wind kicked up. This formed large waves in the lake, smashing violently against the shore.
A faint roar echoed across the whole waterlight resonant palace.
The smashing tides got more and more aggressive as countless sparks of mysterious light rained down from the sky. These sparks were the tempering energy from the seventh-grade spirit liquid.
As these sparks fell into the lake, Li Luo could hear the roars of the rising tide.
The lake started to expand at a surprising speed as lines of water spread in all directions.
It grew larger and larger without pause.
At the same moment, Li Luo could clearly feel his waterlight resonance power increasing.
This went on and on. He did not know how much time had passed when the last spark of light disappeared into the lake. Now the grand lake in front of him was twice as large as it used to be.
In the middle of it, the sun had become brighter and the light refracted off the water’s surface like glitter, as if countless fish were swimming in it.
Li Luo was filled with happiness at this sight.
His waterlight resonance had broken through and reached the eighth-grade.
An eighth-grade waterlight resonance!
After close to two years of hard work, he could finally reap his rewards now.
"Eighth-grade at last!" Li Luo exclaimed as he opened his eyes. There were still remnants of resonant power rising from his body. With the ranking up of his waterlight resonance, his resonant power had received another boost in strength.
At this moment, Li Luo felt like his resonant power would not lose out even to the true ninth-grade talents at the same tier as him.
With this, he would stand a better chance during the battle in the Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath Pool.
He stretched his arms a little before he noticed the empty bottle of seventh-grade spirit liquid in his hand. This got him a little worried.
Although it was great news that his waterlight resonance had reached the eighth-grade, this also meant that if he wanted to level it up in the future... he would need eighth-grade spirit liquids and purifying lights.
The liquids and lights of that grade were wholly different.
The price of one was ten times higher than a seventh-grade one.
In other words, even with the double stipends that he was receiving monthly in the Dragon's Fang Lineage, Li Luo might not be able to get even one bottle of eighth-grade liquids and lights.
This was because refining eighth-grade liquids and lights was highly challenging and required eighth-grade resonance artificers. Even within the mighty Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, eighth-grade resonance artificers were hardly seen.
As such, eighth-grade liquids and lights were far rarer than seventh-grade ones.
With lower supply, their prices were naturally sky high.
As a resonance artificer himself and someone who was once in charge of the Suncreek Villa in House Luolan, Li Luo understood this well. Liquids and lights below the eighth-grade were relatively plentiful by volume. However, eighth-grade liquids and lights were barely ever produced.
In fact, eighth-grade liquids and lights were just as rare as pills and potions, except the pills and potions had multiple uses, while the liquids and lights were only good for enhancing one's resonant grade.
"Damn, the two monthly stipends are starting to be insufficient for me," Li Luo lamented in melancholy. The price of eighth-grade liquids and lights was so high that if he had stayed in House Luolan, they would really be unable to support him anymore.
He had no choice—it looked like he would need to find a way to improve things somehow.
As Li Luo stood up thinking about this, his face changed suddenly. He stared at the crimson bracelet on his wrist and felt waves of vibrations coming from it.
“Could this be... the awakening of the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf?!”
