Chapter 50: Chapter 50 Partnering Up for a Task_1

After venting her feelings, Dugu Qianye felt much better inside. She got up, nodded to Zi Xiao, and then said to Lan Mei, "It’s getting late, let’s go back." After saying that, she turned around and led Xiaohuo away. Lan Mei and the others followed behind them.

Zi Xiao watched them leave without saying anything, just gazing long at the direction they had taken.

A figure landed beside him, waved a hand in front of his face, and asked, "Lost your soul?"

Zi Xiao swatted away the hand in front of him and said, "Still got it."

"Then why are you staring in that direction? Got your eye on that beauty? Forget it, she’s like me, a Transformed Beast."

Zi Xiao ignored him, stroked his chin, and said, "Tsk, tsk, quite a savory lass."

"No way, you’re into that girl? No front or back curves, nothing attractive apart from her face, right?" Ci Hun said.

Zi Xiao gave Ci Hun a contemptuous look and said, "You only like big chests and big butts! What do you know!" Then he turned and left.

"I don’t understand?! Crap, how could I not!" Ci Hun touched the back of his head, realizing Zi Xiao had already walked far away, and hurriedly chased after him, calling out, "Wait for me!"

Dugu Qianye returned to her dormitory quite late, but it didn’t attract the attention of others, as she often stayed late at the library before, and everyone was accustomed to her late returns.

"Master, that person tonight was no ordinary individual." Lan Mei emerged from the Refining Demon Pot and said to Dugu Qianye.

"Indeed. If he wasn’t detected by you within such close range, either his Phantom Power is very high, or he has something concealing his aura. Either way, he’s no simple character," Dugu Qianye analyzed.

"What should we do?"

"We don’t need to bother about him for now. Judging by his demeanor, he isn’t an ordinary person, and unless it’s necessary, we probably won’t have any interaction with him. Besides, there was really nothing happening tonight," Dugu Qianye said. However, she had miscalculated his interest in her.

"Master, are you now..." Lan Mei looked at her with some concern.

"I’m already fine. There are important things waiting for me to do, and I won’t let these emotions affect my cultivation," Dugu Qianye said.

"Alright. Then I’m relieved," Lan Mei breathed a sigh of relief, worried that she might become immersed in those emotions and disturb her firm resolve, affecting her future cultivation.

Dugu Qianye walked over and gently hugged Lan Mei, saying, "Thank you for your companionship."

"We’re all very happy to stand and fight alongside you," Lan Mei returned the hug.

"Yeah, let’s work hard together!" Dugu Qianye said, regaining her spirited state.

In the following days, Dugu Qianye busied herself with attending classes, hitting the library, practicing Alchemy, occasionally gathering with Mo Ziqing and others, or advising Mo Feng on her Alchemy.

"Sister, I can now refine third-grade advanced elixirs," said Mo Feng to Dugu Qianye.

"Is that so? That’s really great," Dugu Qianye praised.

"But I always feel the quality of the elixirs can be enhanced, I just can’t figure out how," Mo Feng said doubtfully.

Dugu Qianye thought for a moment, took out a bottle of elixirs from her ring, and handed it to Mo Feng. Mo Feng opened it with curiosity, poured out the elixirs, and, looking up at Dugu Qianye in surprise, said, "This, this is..."

Dugu Qianye nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed a top-grade Sacred Rhinoceros Pill."

These were the elixirs she had crafted after digesting the recipe from the unsealed Shennong Cauldron recently. Over the past month, she had repeatedly refined elixirs below the fifth-grade according to the recipes in her mind, ensuring that every elixir was at least of high quality.

Mo Feng ran to the window, looked outside, then closed it, and returned to Dugu Qianye’s side with a solemn face, asking, "Sister, how did you manage this?"

"I have my own ways of refinement, which are somewhat different from others. You know that the highest-grade elixirs available outside are only advanced level. I have been researching and haven’t let you know until now. Now that you have reached this threshold, I can share it with you. You’re already recognized by the clan and have the Mo Family as your backing, so you don’t have to worry about problems if it gets out," said Dugu Qianye. "However, you must not let anyone know I taught you."

"Sister..." Mo Feng looked at Dugu Qianye, touched. He had secretly helped her before, but she was cultivating him so wholeheartedly in return. He placed his right hand over his left chest and said solemnly, "I swear on my name as a True God that I will follow Dugu Qianye in this life and never betray her!" Having said that, a silver light descended and entered his chest.

In this world, vows are different from Earth; if one breaks a vow, they would fall into eternal darkness in hell, with no chance of return. Thus, in this world, people usually do not swear oaths.

"Why would you do that? If I didn’t trust you, why would I teach you?" Dugu Qianye said, looking at Mo Feng.

"I was meant to follow you all along; this is just a formality," Mo Feng said with a smile, looking like a child who had stolen some candy, assured that his sister would never abandon him.

Dugu Qianye was rather helpless but couldn’t change anything. Fortunately, with the relationship between her and Mo Feng, the oath made no difference.

"Well, what’s done is done, what else can I do? Now, I will teach you some alchemy techniques and list out some recipes for you."

They stayed in all day, Dugu Qianye teaching him some basic techniques and then enjoining, "You need to practice these in reality. Contact your uncle and ask them to provide you with the herbs so you can give them the refined elixirs."

Mo Feng nodded, saying, "Recently, the Feng Family hired a seventh-grade alchemist and has been severely suppressing our elixir business. I’ve already sold all the elixirs I previously refined. If I can refine top-grade elixirs, we won’t have to worry about our elixirs anymore."

"Alright. You should contact your family as soon as possible. Oh, and I have some elixirs here; take them to them. Wait until you can refine top-grade elixirs before taking those out," said Dugu Qianye, taking out all the elixirs from her Spatial Ring, half-filling the room with jade bottles.

With these, and Mo Feng’s future refinements, the Mo Family’s need for primary-level elixirs should be secured.

Afterward, Dugu Qianye focused more on raising her alchemy-grade. The theory was all in her mind; what was lacking was her practical experience. Thanks to her recent practice and familiarity with the methods of the Shennong Cauldron, her alchemy level quickly advanced to the sixth grade.

After calculating the time, Dugu Qianye realized she had been at the academy for over two months. Since Dandan automatically absorbed Phantom Power, and contracting Lan Mei boosted her Phantom Power by five grades, she didn’t need to cultivate in the Cultivation Tower. She had spent her study points at the library. However, the other people in the courtyard were often there.

One day, as she was cultivating inside the Refining Demon Pot, Xiaoyin notified her that someone was looking for her. She went out and saw the others from the courtyard were there. Everyone went inside, and Sun Kui said, "We’re almost out of study points, so we’re planning to form a team and pick up some academy missions. We wanted to ask if you’d like to join us."
