Then Li Ang changed the subject, saying, "However, at the moment, the workshop's production capacity must first meet the orders from Ironforge. They owe us several thousand doses of potions, and I need to fill that gap first."

Lysa smiled understandingly. "Of course, that's only right. I was just expressing my willingness to cooperate in advance. Well then, I won't bother you any longer."
She nodded slightly, returned to her work station, and continued processing materials, but with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
Li Ang withdrew his gaze and continued refining. Outside the window, the huge shadow of Lelita moved slowly, and sunlight refracted through the high window, creating dazzling spots of light on the sleek equipment and crystal bottles.
As evening fell, everyone finished their work, and Li Ang was in charge of tallying the results.
Lottie completed thirteen qualified submissions, Harris fifteen, Lysa twenty-three, and Sophie an astonishing thirty-two.
The total amount of materials processed by the four people in one day actually exceeded the output of the thirty apprentices in the Dwarf King's Palace workshop.
Keeping his promise, Li Ang settled the payment on the spot. He took out his money bag, counted out five silver coins, and handed them to Lottie and Harris. The two of them took the silver coins, their faces beaming with the joy of their harvest.
Then, he paid Lysa 11 silver coins and 50 copper coins, and Sophie 16 silver coins. The two accepted the payment, and even Lysa, a second-level wizard, smiled happily, while Sophie simply put away the silver coins and nodded neatly.
"You've worked hard today. We'll meet again at the same time tomorrow, if you have the time," Li Ang said to the four of them.
"Thank you for your generosity, Wizard Leon. I will be there on time tomorrow," Harris said, adjusting his glasses.
"I'll be there on time too," Lottie replied softly.
Lysa and Sophie nodded, indicating that they would come to help after they finished their work.
After seeing off his four assistants, the workshop quieted down. Li Ang looked at the unrefined materials piled up on half of the workbench and sighed softly.
Even though he worked non-stop all afternoon, there were still nearly four thousand portions of materials that hadn't been refined yet, so it seemed he would need to work overtime.
Without hesitation, he lit the magic furnace, stood before the crucible once more, and began the long refining process that night.
Time slipped away quietly as the crafting process continued. Outside the window, the lights of the Leli Tower gradually lit up and then went out.
Only in the stone workshop in this secluded open space behind the tower does a steady light always shine through its windows.
When Li Ang poured the last four doses of the medicine into the crystal bottle and sealed it, the clock on the wall already pointed to 11 p.m.
All eighty-one materials were refined, and combined with the potions he had previously refined using Eve's workshop, he now possessed a total of three hundred and eighty-one doses of [Targeted Tissue Regeneration Potion].
After carefully storing all the medicines in the medicine cabinet, Li Ang rubbed his slightly swollen temples and let out a long sigh of relief.
At this rate, we should be able to process the dwarves' orders in about a week.
After shutting down the magic furnace and extinguishing the magic lights in the workshop, Li Ang locked the heavy stone door of the workshop and returned to his dormitory under the cover of night.
Over the next few days, Li Ang's life settled into a regular and fulfilling rhythm.
Early in the morning, he led the First Special Operations Team, which had been reinforced with new members including Ted, on a patrol mission.
Although Ted came from the astrological school, he had a solid grasp of earth magic. He used the [Rock Spear] and [Earth Wall] spells with great skill and quickly integrated into the team.
In the afternoon, he plunged into his increasingly perfected floating workshop.
Lottie's meticulousness and Harris's experience, combined with Lysa's broad knowledge and Sophie's efficiency and precision, made the four-person materials processing team incredibly efficient.
Before the giant crucible, upgraded to LV9, Li Ang transformed the processed materials into a crystal-clear, emerald-green [Targeted Tissue Regeneration Agent].
Inside the workshop, the sounds of grinding, dripping of extract, the subtle hum of medicine mixing in the crucible, and the occasional brief exchange of words created a well-ordered concerto.
At night, back in his dormitory, Li Ang would sometimes continue meditating to solidify his growing spiritual world and steadily move towards the tenth star.
Occasionally, he would pick up his pen and continue writing the long-abandoned story of "Don't Bully a Poor Girl" on parchment, his pen scratching as he sketched out the love and hate of another world.
Calm, fulfilling, even with a touch of comfort, the bloodshed of Ironforge and the life-or-death battles of the Valley of Oblivion seemed to have become fragments of distant memories.
However, this tranquility was broken at noon on the fifth day.
After finishing his morning patrol, Li Ang gave his team a few brief instructions and headed straight for the workshop behind the tower.
Before he even reached the door, he saw a familiar figure pacing anxiously outside the workshop. It was Ginny, Eve's mentor's attendant.
"Ginny?" Li Ang strode forward. "What's wrong? Did you need something?"
Upon seeing Leon, Ginny clung to him like a drowning man grasping at a straw, her light brown eyes filled with panic: "Lord Leon! You—you saw Lady Eve this morning?"
Li Ang shook his head: "No, I last saw her three days ago. What happened?"
Ginny's voice trembled almost imperceptibly: "I—I went to the adults' living room at nine o'clock every morning to clean and prepare tea and snacks, as usual. But—"
Lady Eve wasn't inside. I didn't think much of it at first; she had been going out more often lately—but it's almost noon now, and she still hasn't returned. In the past, even when she went out, she would tell me roughly where she was and when—but this time she didn't say anything at all—”
Li Ang frowned slightly, then reassured her, "Don't panic, Ginny. This is Lelita, and Instructor Eve is a high-level wizard; nothing will happen. Perhaps something urgent came up and she didn't have time to inform you."
Seeing Ginny's still anxious expression, he paused and said, "How about this, let's split up and look for her. Where might Professor Eve usually go? The library?"
Where is Mentor Karin? Or the faction leader?
Ginny forced herself to calm down and thought for a moment: "The library, the observation deck on the top floor, Lady Karin's workshop—and sometimes she goes to the faction leader's place for tea."
"Okay," Li Ang nodded. "I'll go ask the faction leader's office and Professor Karin. You go check the library and the observation deck. Whether you find it or not, we'll meet here again in an hour."
"Okay, okay, Lord Li Ang!" Ginny nodded vigorously, turned around and ran away.
Watching her retreating figure, Li Ang suppressed the slight doubt that rose in his heart and quickly turned towards the office of the Carlos faction leader.
After gently knocking on the door, Li Ang walked in slowly. Carlos Chloe was sitting at his desk writing something.
