Chapter 20: One Shock After Another_1
"Hmm, I will," Dugu Qianye replied. She, too, wanted to see what the place where her mother had grown up looked like.
Midnight on the dot.
"Bang" "Bang" Several bursts rang out in the sky, filled with fireworks to signal the arrival of the New Year. Dugu Qianye watched the lively yard and smiled softly.
In the following time, Dugu Qianye devoted almost all her energy to alchemy. With Dandan actively absorbing the Phantom Power, she did not have to worry about slowing down her cultivation speed. She also found time to practice the Formless Divine Skill and the Ethereal Step Technique.
Now, no one disturbed Dugu Qianye’s courtyard; the sensation caused by her securing the first place in the competition among the four great families slowly subsided due to her low-profile behavior. However, it was said that the matter of her destroying Ji Anping’s Phantom Power Source was suppressed by Wang Youwei, the president of the Mercenary Guild of Qifeng City; otherwise, the Ji Family might have caused an uproar.
Occasionally, Mo Lian would come to chat with her, but after seeing Dugu Qianye busy several times, she stopped coming.
Mo Feng was left in charge of the yard, and by now he had gotten used to the chaos caused every few days by Xiaohuo and Xiaoyin, which left the yard a complete mess. Each time he saw the simulacrum forms of Xiaohuo and Xiaoyin "exchanging pointers" in the yard, he would hide in his room until the outside noise ceased, and then he would go out to tidy up the yard.
In order to improve her alchemy, Dugu Qianye specifically went to Cangmang Mountain to contract a Blazing Lion, a five-star Holy Beast. With the Blazing Lion’s innate flame, she could control the size of the flame during alchemy instead of using the primitive method of burning firewood.
