Chapter 920: Chapter 920: Clan Leader’s Ambition
At this point, Qin Sisi already felt utterly exhausted. She took a Spirit Revitalizing Pill to restore so of her magic power, then clenched her teeth and completed six more runs, making up the required forty tis—half the task amount.
This result made Qin Sisi very frustrated. It took her a full day and night of exhausting effort to complete forty tis, which was truly an inadequate performance. With the tasks of the next class and the forty tis she needed to make up from this class, it was like another daunting mountain to climb.
Ge Lanxue didn’t have hot springs, but she had soone bring Qin Sisi a basin of water from the Qinbing River for her to wash her face.
Qin Sisi splashed her face with the icy water, instantly feeling her entire face go numb with cold.
She took a deep breath, enduring the bone-chilling coldness, and thoroughly washed her face and hands.
With Teacher Ge Lanxue’s cool deanor, she obviously wasn’t playing a prank on her. Since she instructed this, there must be a reason.
Indeed, after drying off her face and hands with a towel, her skin gradually regained sensation, and Qin Sisi imdiately felt refreshed. The fatigue from fighting for a day and a night seed to miraculously vanish.
Only, her stomach inappropriately started growling.
Qin Sisi’s face reddened, and she awkwardly glanced at Teacher Ge Lanxue. Unfortunately, her stomach’s protests didn’t require her permission.
Ge Lanxue’s lips curved up slightly as she said, "Go have sothing to eat now. You still have to attend Music Magic class in a bit."
"Yes, thank you Teacher Ge Lanxue," Qin Sisi expressed her thanks, summoned the Wings of Rainbow, and swiftly flew away from Tianbing Mountain.
Ge Lanxue raised her head, watching the figure of Qin Sisi getting smaller in the sky, her expression sowhat complex.
If Ya Ning were still here, the seat of the Holy Queen might still be contended for. Sadly, Ya Ning had already departed.
As for Ya Ling... well, it’s better left unsaid.
When virtue does not match one’s position, disaster is bound to follow.
Ge Lanxue had not been blinded by the scorching glory of wealth and power; she now just hoped that the Qing Ming Family could give up the position of the Holy Queen and help Ye You peacefully regain the throne. The Qing Ming Family would still be a powerful ancient family.
If they aid too high, they would likely et a fragile end as thin as paper.
Onlookers see most of the ga, and after many years away from the Qing Ming Family, Ge Lanxue still had a sober understanding of her own family.
However, Chief Gelun did not agree with his cousin’s suggestion. When Ge Lanxue told him Ya Ling was unsuitable to be the Holy Queen, Chief Gelun was very angry.
In his eyes, his younger daughter, although not as steady as his older one, was also beautifully charming and highly talented. With her endearing and adorable nature, she was definitely the perfect candidate for Holy Queen.
He even felt that Ya Ling suited the role better than Ya Ning did since Ya Ning’s character was too cold, and she wasn’t very close to him as her father.
Ye You, too, had a cold nature, and together the two might well freeze the air solid.
Ya Ling was different in Gelun’s view. Her willfulness and flirtatious charms were all lively and adorable, complenting Ye You perfectly.
Knowing that his little Princess was facing so difficulties in her studies at Heaven Academy, Chief Gelun imdiately sent people to spend a large amount of money purchasing Third Level Pills and Magic Crystal Stones, hoping to help Ya Ling improve her magic power.
Yet venturing into areas where Demonic Beasts gathered to kill them and collect Magic Crystal Stones was a dangerous task, and most people who managed to collect them after much hardship used them for themselves.
First Level and Second Level Magic Crystal Stones were indeed for sale, but they didn’t catch Gelun’s eye. The Third Level Magic Crystal Stones were virtually priceless.
Gelun had gone through a lot of trouble to buy a third-level Ice Attribute Magic Crystal Stone at an auction and then acquired a third-level Water Attribute Magic Crystal Stone on the black market, finally heaving a sigh of relief.
As for the spirit pills, things went smoothly. A very mystical alchemist appeared in Qingyin City, known as Hei Qin.
His mystique ca from the fact that no one knew where he ca from or how he learned alchemy; his background and origin were both blanks.
But this didn’t hinder his business; the spirit pills he refined were of high quality and reasonably priced, and many people were willing to purchase from him.
At first, Gelun was not assured and even sent soone to inquire about him.
His underling ca back and reported that Hei Qin was about forty years old, wore an ordinary black robe, was rather chubby, had thinning hair, and was reserved. Those who had bought his spirit pills all said they were very good.
Gelun couldn’t figure out who this person was, but since the spirit pills were effective and reasonably priced, there was no reason not to buy.
So Gelun bought ten third-level Spirit Pills to enhance attributes’ spiritual power, one for each attribute, awaiting a rest day to have Ya Ling co out and deliver them to her.
The trouble was that these attribute-enhancing Spirit Pills could only be taken once a month, so it would take ten months for all ten pills to take effect. Because it would take a long ti, it couldn’t imdiately turn Ya Ling into an extraordinary figure.
The Qing Ming Family also had a fixed base in Scholar City. During the last rest day, Ya Ling arrived at the base and had them inform her father to look for ways to swiftly enhance her magical power.
Now, another rest day was approaching, and Ya Ling was getting impatient, really wanting to fly out imdiately to see what surprises her father had brought her.
Regrettably, it was not yet possible, since there were still several magic courses she least liked waiting for her.
After the Ice Magic course ca the Music Magic course, which Ya Ling despised because the Music Attribute was the only variation attribute she hadn’t activated yet.
Furthermore, Qin Sisi’s brilliant performance in Music Magic made it even more upsetting for her.
Then ca Alchemy and Smithing courses. Ya Ling had no interest in these two auxiliary skills and did not plan to pursue these directions, thinking to just learn a bit and let it be.
Last was the Earth Magic Course.
Teacher Taitan, due to so matters, had postponed the class to the end.
Ya Ling also hated the Earth Magic course because it was too dirty.
Her Earth Attribute spiritual power was not yet strong enough to automatically brush away the dirt and dust, so every ti after the Earth Magic course she would be covered in dirt and mud, looking as disheveled as could be.
But there was no helping it, the courses that needed to be attended had to be attended, and no one could escape.
Now, Ya Ling was already standing on Tianyin Mountain with her classmates, led by Teacher Yirou.
This class was also a review session. The five students who had not activated their Music Attribute continued being enclosed in a love-and-care clear do; this ti their task was to hypnotize twenty snakes.
As for Qin Sisi and the other three students who had already activated their Music Attribute, the task for this class was still to use the lody of Floral Butterfly Dance to attract butterflies.
The task of the previous class was ten butterflies, and this class had been increased to twenty.
The entire process was the sa as the last class, and they were arranged in four different spots, far enough apart to not affect each other.
Around their spots, an Adsorption mbrane Skill was set up to capture the butterflies and other creatures that ca to listen to the music, which was a way to judge how many butterflies they had each attracted.
