In Bai Yuetong's office, the smelting of the white mecha had already begun.

Lu Mengna, the considerate ghost bride, tenderly lay on Bai Yuetong's shoulder.

As a member of the Specter Species, she could better sense human emotional fluctuations. Therefore, she also knew that Bai Yuetong's heart was not as indifferent as she appeared to be.

Bai Yuetong, watching the mecha hoisted up, ready to be placed into the melting furnace, whispered, "Goodbye, Little White Flower!"

At that moment, the white mecha was covered with scars, all marks of Bai Yuetong's piloting. It was precisely because Little White Flower's armor was made of rare metals that Bai Yuetong had never repaired it.

When the white mecha was placed into the melting furnace, Bai Yuetong's heart felt like it was being harshly twisted.

Lu Mengna quickly hugged her, signaling that she was still there.

But Bai Yuetong's face still remained expressionless.

"It's okay, Sister Na, everyone grows up, and I'm no exception! Little White Flower has done everything a mecha could do. Now that it can help me, help Lu Luo, that is its final mission."

Just like Lu Luo had once said, although Bai Yuetong was tsundere, mischievous, and prone to mood swings, she was always clear-headed on major issues. Bai Yuetong's high intelligence gave her sufficient reason. Regarding melting the mecha, her rationale told her that doing so could greatly help Lu Luo and the company. So that's what she did. Her emotional intelligence might have been low, which is why rationale was the main reason guiding her judgment.

However, the ache in her heart wasn't faked.

Watching the melting furnace, Bai Yuetong's eyes didn't even blink, and the hurt in her heart remained unspoken to anyone.

It was at this moment Qi Xinzhu slowly walked over and placed her palm on Bai Yuetong's shoulder. The light of Holy Radiance and the Healer gradually dispelled the gloom in Bai Yuetong's heart.

"Are you very upset?"

Qi Xinzhu knew that coming over to console Bai Yuetong was somewhat improper. But Lu Luo wasn't present, and no one else had a relationship close enough with Bai Yuetong. At this time, it seems I'm the only one who can comfort her, she thought.

But naturally, Bai Yuetong wasn't appreciative at that moment, looking at Qi Xinzhu with a slight tilt of her head.

"Qi Xinzhu, could you not speak to me with the posture of a victor, please? You've just succeeded a step earlier, that's all."

Bai Yuetong's words were tough, but her body was honest. The dispelling force released by Qi Xinzhu felt comfortable, and she couldn't help but nuzzle against it.

Qi Xinzhu was rebuffed by Bai Yuetong. Although she felt a bit annoyed, it was just as Bai Yuetong had said: she now completely possessed Lu Luo. So, yes, I should be generous, she thought.

"Succeeding is not the right word to use. If you really want to, you should think of a way. After all, we'll be returning to the Inner Ring soon. You know what I mean, right?"

Bai Yuetong was stunned. Why isn't Qi Xinzhu stopping me? Instead, she seems to be encouraging me. Is she trying to get an ally before we return to the Inner Ring?

"Qi Xinzhu... what does it feel like?"

Before Qi Xinzhu could answer, Gu Fangyi beside them couldn't stand it anymore. These two women, spouting such provocative words! He cleared his throat.

"AHEM, the mecha has begun to melt. If there's nothing else for me, I'll go out for some air."

Not a wisp of a breeze inside the base; Gu Fangyi simply didn't want to stay there any longer. Who kills a dog indoors? That's just too much.

After Gu Fangyi left, Qi Xinzhu looked at Bai Yuetong somewhat embarrassedly.

"The joys of the world, I guess. If you really want to know what it's like, why not go and try it out for yourself?"

"Psh, what's so great about that?"

Dumb Hair remained proud as always, but at that moment, she pondered, If Qi Xinzhu hadn't made that phone call, would Lu Luo and I have already…

What am I thinking? So unromantic.

...

That evening, Lu Luo and his four colleagues gathered in his office again.

Unlike previous occasions, this time Lu Luo was ready to show his trustworthy companions a bit of his power. After all, seeing is believing, and nothing beats the impact of witnessing something first-hand. Letting them comprehend the new effects of a Fusioner would further boost their confidence.

"Are you all ready?"

"Ready."

"Ready."

Sufficient Dark Spirit Stones, the solution storing Life Energy, and the rare metals smelted from Bai Yuetong's mecha were all laid out. One by one, the items were placed in front of Lu Luo.

When everything was prepared, Lu Luo was ready to start immediately.

"Do you need us to step out for a bit?" Qi Xinzhu proactively asked.

Qi Xinzhu knew that Lu Luo had many secrets. Being the closest person to him at the moment, she felt it was her responsibility to protect Lu Luo's secrets. If there were things Lu Luo wasn't comfortable saying out loud, she was willing to play the bad guy.

However, this time Lu Luo simply waved his hand. "No need, everyone can watch this time."

Lu Luo took out the candy he had brought back from Luo Ling from his pocket. Then, he used the Fusioner and began the fusion process.

[Fusing Lu Luo's Breath of Favor: Please wait...]

The scene was as before: Life Energy was continuously drawn out, and the 12 toxic candies naturally converged once again. This time, the refining seemed to be more proficient and quicker than the last.

"Third Tier Exotic Species heart."

"Here it is."

Once Lu Luo commanded, Zhou Kai took out the already prepared Third Tier Exotic Species heart. Lu Luo controlled the viscous substance formed by the candy and slowly wrapped the Exotic Species heart within it.

The final step was still the burning of Netherflame. Netherflame could burn away all impurities in an object. Although it had no temperature, it could strip away many of an object's original states, like its physical form, for example.

After heating for a period, the Netherflame gradually expended itself. An item between reality and illusion appeared in front of everyone.

Just like the previous one, this Breath of Favor was still in a floating state.

"Brother Luo, Brother Luo! This thing, it's actually floating," Zhou Kai exclaimed in surprise. He was not the only one; Qi Xinzhu and Gu Fangyi were also amazed. This was, after all, the first time they saw Lu Luo using the Fusioner. Such an ability was truly astounding.

"Yes, it's floating."

"Does it have any effects?"

Lu Luo didn't know how to describe the effects of this item. After thinking for a moment, he decided to write it down on paper.

"This item is called Breath of Favor."

Lu Luo did not reveal the full name of the Breath of Favor. To do so would be too arrogant. But when he wrote down the specific effects of the Breath of Favor, Zhou Kai became curious again.

"Brother Luo, the 25 attribute points, how is that determined? And its effect, how do you know? Have you tried it yourself? What did it feel like when you ate it? Are you sure there are no side effects?"

[What a clever little devil!]

"Brother Kane!"

"What?"

"I really want to punch you."

"Understood, I'll shut up."

After finishing the refining of the Breath of Favor, Lu Luo took out the previous Breath of Favor as well.

"Although I can guarantee that this thing is absolutely non-toxic and harmless, I still must say, think it over, then use it."

No sooner had Lu Luo finished speaking than Qi Xinzhu picked up a Breath of Favor. This action, just like the previous inquiry, helped Lu Luo make a statement in front of everyone.

"Eat it directly?"

Lu Luo understood Qi Xinzhu's intention, and this feeling of trust was still very comforting. He first checked Qi Xinzhu's current attributes.

[Qi Xinzhu, Third Tier Believer of Light, Sequence S-05 Healer, Sequence A Mirror Moon, Sequence B Radiant Affinity. Attributes: Strength 31, Agility 29, Constitution 25.]

After the Observer's upgrade, the prompts became much more detailed.

As a powerful Healer, it's such a waste that Qi Xinzhu doesn't even know the strategy of putting all points into Constitution. Starting today, I'll have to teach her a proper lesson, Lu Luo thought.

"Xinzhu, wait."

"What's up?"

"While eating it, focus your thoughts on Constitution, physique, defense. My requirement for you is to enhance your defensive attributes as much as possible! Don't consider speed and strength. Trust me, understand?"

Lu Luo's request was very strange, leaving Qi Xinzhu somewhat puzzled.

Shouldn't the most important cultivation path for a Transcendent be strength and speed? Everyone is pursuing faster and stronger, whether it's the Church, the Constitution Guard Corps, or the Hunters. Pursuing strength and speed is usually never wrong, she mused.

But now Lu Luo was asking her to focus on Constitution, a concept Qi Xinzhu did not quite grasp.

"Lu Luo, do you really want me to do this?"

"Yes, Constitution!"

"Alright then."

As a Believer of Light, a true warrior, Qi Xinzhu had always been very diligent in her cultivation of speed and strength. But now Lu Luo was asking her to shift towards Constitution and defense, and she could only comply. She had no choice. She was now Lu Luo's woman, and cooperating with Lu Luo was what she should do.

Mulling over random thoughts, Qi Xinzhu finally swallowed a Breath of Favor. He's asking me to increase my Constitution... Could it be he has some strange ideas?

When she placed the object in her mouth, it shattered like a sudden piece of broken ice. It quickly melted and then flowed into her limbs and bones!

Qi Xinzhu silently recited, Constitution, defense! while feeling the enhancement of the Breath of Favor on her body's attributes. Dark Energy and something indescribable were gradually changing her constitution. Qi Xinzhu could feel her mental state becoming more complete, and her physical strength seemed to be growing.

She slowly extended her finger and suddenly noticed that the effects of her Healer abilities had also been enhanced.

"Lu Luo, this feeling?"

"Don't rush, continue."

The other three were also watching Qi Xinzhu at this moment. It was hard to describe, but after she swallowed the Breath of Favor, an aura unique to Lu Luo began emanating from her!

Bai Yuetong was the most sensitive to this kind of aura.

"Lu Luo, does this thing have a lot to do with you? After using it, Qi Xinzhu has your scent on her."

Bai Yuetong's sudden query slightly surprised Lu Luo, but there was nothing to hide in this regard. He hadn't said anything before only because he didn't want to boast, but now that Dumb Hair had asked, it was better to just tell it straight.

"Yes, the full name of this thing is Lu Luo's Breath of Favor. It is created by my power, and only my companions can use it."

Lu Luo did not mention that only those loyal to him could use multiple Breaths of Favor. I don't want the relationship between myself and these few people to change, he thought.

However, Bai Yuetong seemed to have noticed something, but she simply nodded and didn't speak further.

On the other side, Qi Xinzhu's enhancement was finally complete. When Lu Luo looked at her again, Qi Xinzhu's Constitution attribute had already reached 50 points.

Qi Xinzhu looked at Lu Luo with a surprised and delighted expression, clearly pleased that the Breath of Favor was effective.

"Lu Luo, I feel like my physical strength has increased a lot!"

"Don't be hasty, let's continue."

...

The ninety-odd candies Luo Ling made last time included over forty that were poisonous. With the current sixty, Lu Luo could make a total of eight Breaths of Favor. Not wanting to risk any accidents, Lu Luo decided to max out the attribute values of both Qi Xinzhu and Gu Fangyi right away.

"I still have seven Breaths of Favor left. Each person can use a maximum of five. Qi Xinzhu will consume three, and Brother Gu will take four. The others' enhancements will be postponed for now."

"Understood!"

Actually, the most sensible plan would be for Qi Xinzhu to take all five to avoid complications. But the rather dire situation now was Lu Luo's own substandard attribute values. The attributes of the Favored Ones couldn't surpass Lu Luo's own. His Constitution was only a little over 140, so Qi Xinzhu couldn't consume five either.

This was rather awkward. After they each consumed four Breaths of Favor, Qi Xinzhu's Constitution had reached 125, all enhanced towards Constitution. Gu Fangyi's Agility was at 98 and Strength at 40, a three-to-one ratio of enhancement in Agility to Strength.

"Xinzhu, Brother Gu, how do you feel?"

"My Constitution has gotten stronger?" Qi Xinzhu asked, her expression a bit odd.

Lu Luo simply nodded with satisfaction. "I'll slowly tell you your future combat strategy later on. And you, Brother Gu?"

"I feel so powerful now!"

Unlike the less noticeable improvement in Qi Xinzhu's Constitution, Gu Fangyi's increase in Strength and Agility was extremely pronounced. His speed and control had improved many times over. Just a few pills, and such an incredible effect. Unbelievable! he thought.

"It's fine. There'll be plenty more opportunities to become stronger in the future. This is just the beginning."

Lu Luo was certain the effects of a Fusioner were definitely not as simple as just one Breath of Favor. I'm going to the Inner Ring. I need to find even more unique alchemical substances and then modify them. Even if I can't use many of these things myself, it doesn't matter. As long as my brothers can use them, I'll have many more formidable allies. One person's energy is limited; the more people who can use these creations, the faster my own development will be.

...

After assisting them with their attribute enhancements, Lu Luo's energy levels had fallen to just over 7,000. This energy value could only forge one Lord-tier epic item. It was a choice between the Crystal Ball and the Rotten King's Tongue Armor.

Under normal circumstances, Lu Luo would have definitely chosen the Crystal Ball, but currently, there were no rare crystals, only rare metals. The Crystal Ball plan had to be put on hold for now, and the Tongue Armor was to be made first.

Lu Luo took out Ganmu's tongue and placed it on the ground.

"Alright, the attribute enhancement is over. Next, I will use Ganmu's tongue to create a piece of armor."

Compared to the previous medicine refining, Dumb Hair's interest in armor forging was much higher.

"You're going to make armor? How will you make it?"

"With my hands!"

"Directly refining a biological item into equipment? With your hands?"

"That's right!"

"Using both hands to forcibly create a miracle?"

"It's me. I'll use both hands to achieve your dream."

"Lu Luo, have you been stroking too much? Is that why you need both hands?"
