Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Spiritual Power Beast Tamer (1)_1
The people of the Mo Residence knew that Dugu Qianye had returned and they all rushed to the courtyard to greet her. Dugu Qianye responded to each one with a smile.
Together, everyone grilled a full 10 plates of meat, and also prepared two plates for the Beasts.
"Alright, everyone can start eating now," Dugu Qianye said as she brought the last plate of grilled meat to the table. "Oh, and how can we forget this?"
Dugu Qianye took out a few jars of Spiritual Wine from the Refining Demon Pot and poured for everyone. The two tables of people began to eat in the courtyard. With wine and meat flowing, there was a scramble for the food—a truly joyous feast. It was the first time for the people of the Mo Family to taste Dugu Qianye’s grilled meat, and their tongues nearly swallowed themselves in delight.
"Hey, that’s mine, mine!"
"My grilled meat!"
"You’re stealing my wine!"
"Oi, don’t pick on the elderly!"
"Uncle, to pose as an elder just to get food, do you have no shame?"
Sang Yu watched the family scramble for the food with a smile that slowly turned bittersweet. Gao Liang too looked on enviously, his lips tinged with melancholy.
After dinner, Dugu Qianye took Gao Liang and the other three for a walk around the Mo Residence.
"As the first-ranked team, you’ll also be going to Holy Sea City. The vice principal said we’ll leave from Pu City in mid-September. There’s still a month left, are you going back home for a visit?"
"Yeah," Sun Kui and Lei Xiaohu said, "after all, we got our rewards."
Xie Fan contacted the Royal Family and declined the celebration banquet for the next evening, citing the students’ wish to keep a low profile. Although she didn’t mention the rewards, the Royal Family still delivered everyone’s prizes to the college that afternoon. The rewards for those who placed were quite substantial, especially for the top three—each received 5 million Gold Coins, far more than the organizer’s 1 million. Students who didn’t place were also given symbolic rewards.
"I want to go back and see my mother," Sang Yu said.
"If you all are going back, I might as well go and take a look too," Gao Liang shrugged and said.
"When are you leaving?" Dugu Qianye asked.
The four looked at each other and said, "Tomorrow, I guess."
"Alright. Go back and rest then. I’ve had them prepare rooms for you in my courtyard," Dugu Qianye said.
Dugu Qianye returned to her room, then flashed into the Refining Demon Pot.
"Sister."
"Master."
The Beasts knew the instant Dugu Qianye entered and all gathered around her.
"Where’s Dudu?" Dugu Qianye asked.
"He’s brewing wine," Xiaohuo said, pointing to the new hut that Dudu had set up.
"You all go and cultivate, I need to find some things in the hut," Dugu Qianye said.
"Yes, Master."
Dugu Qianye came to the cabin built by a former owner and began rummaging through it.
"Master, what are you looking for? Dudu will help you find it." Dudu suddenly appeared in the cabin and couldn’t help but speak upon seeing Dugu Qianye turning everything upside down.
"Is the brewing done?" Dugu Qianye walked over, picked up Dudu, and said, "I want to see if there’s a way for a Sword Master to make a contract with a Phantom Beast."
"Master is silly. This room is full of alchemy recipes, you need to go to the room where the books are kept." Dudu gave Dugu Qianye a look and said.
Dugu Qianye didn’t take offense and carried Dudu toward the adjacent room. After a few steps, he suddenly remembered that there had always been only this one cabin, right?
Upon asking Dudu, Dudu then slapped his forehead and said, "Actually, there are many rooms here, but some have restrictions placed by the former owner, and some were sealed along with me. Because the seals have been in place for too long, they cannot be seen. The restrictions will also weaken gradually as your power increases."
"So there is such a thing." said Dugu Qianye.
"And my abilities are slowly recovering as well. I can now control the passage of time in this place. One day outside is like a month inside the Refining Demon Pot. However, people’s growth still aligns with the time of the outside world."
"When did this happen? Why don’t I know about it?"
Dudu buried his head in Dugu Qianye’s neck and said, "Last time when master contracted that strange egg. I was busy brewing and forgot to tell master."
Dugu Qianye pretended to smack Dudu’s bottom and said, "This time it’s fine, but if you don’t tell me important stuff in the future, be careful or I’ll spank your bottom for real."
"Hehe, it won’t happen again. Master, let’s go find the books."
When Dugu Qianye arrived in the neighboring room, he found it to be an unimpressive little cabin and it even looked more run-down than the previous one.
Could it even hold a few books? Dugu Qianye was deeply skeptical.
"This is no ordinary cabin, but a Space Artifact, and it’s huge inside." Sensing Dugu Qianye’s thoughts, Dudu said.
Dugu Qianye pushed the door open and was stunned by the scene before him. The outside seemed no more than thirty square meters, but inside it stretched as large as three football fields. Shelves neatly lined with thousands and thousands of books.
"Are all these books from the ancient times?" Dugu Qianye couldn’t help asking.
"Yep." Dudu said proudly, "Master, you should head to the fourth area for books about contracts."
Dugu Qianye set Dudu down and walked toward the fourth area. The first area was dedicated to Sword Techniques and Phantom Techniques, which was also the largest area. This was followed by the Alchemy Zone, and then the Refining Zone. Behind the fourth area were the fifth and sixth areas, containing books on other subjects.
"Good gracious, this collection is on par with the Empire College." Dugu Qianye couldn’t help but swear.
As these were ancient books, many things were incomparable to present times, such as the power of the Sword Techniques and Phantom Techniques, which far exceeded the strength of current Phantom Techniques. There were also many methods that had been lost to time.
"According to the laws of human development, shouldn’t things get better and better? Why does it feel like the Continent now is far inferior to the ancient times?"
On Earth indeed, human life should become increasingly advanced, but this world doesn’t operate like that. In this world where strength is respected, death can come in the next second. Many capable people died without passing on their skills to others, and gradually, some things were lost.
As Dugu Qianye passed through the second area, a thick black leather book caught her attention. While other books were grouped together, this one was placed on its own shelf, and below it were stacks of alchemy recipes. Dugu Qianye picked up the book, dusted off the cover, and revealed four flowing characters.
"Thousand Spiders and Myriad Poisons? What’s this?"
She briefly flipped through the book and found that it contained descriptions of various poisons, followed by methods of poison crafting. She then picked up the alchemy recipes beneath it and saw that they were all recipes for poison medicines.
Alchemists were rare, Poison Masters even rarer, and Poison Masters were a disdainful profession in the eyes of the world, as the substances they produced were all used to harm people.
