"Indeed, we didn’t have a large reserve of elixirs to begin with, and the Feng Family has been relentlessly pressuring us. Once Mo Feng was injured, our situation worsened," Mo Jian said with furrowed brows.
"Uncle Five, have you forgotten who taught Mo Feng his alchemy?" Dugu Qianye teased Mo Jian with a smile.
With Dugu Qianye’s reminder, Mo Jian suddenly rembered that it was Dugu Qianye who taught Mo Feng alchemy, and he burst into laughter, "Haha, how could I forget about this! With his master here, we don’t have to worry anymore!"
"What, is Mo Feng’s teacher willing to help us?" Mo Chi asked Mo Jian.
"Haha, of course," Mo Jian said.
"Then let’s go and invite him to Pu City," suggested Mo Lao San, standing up ready to make arrangents.
"No need for that, Mo Feng’s teacher is Qianye!" Mo Jian said proudly.
"What?!" exclaid the Mo Brothers in surprise.
Mo Lao San stood up from his seat, circled Dugu Qianye twice, and then asked uncertainly, "Fifth Brother, you’re not joking, right?"
"Hehe, why would I joke about sothing like this," Mo Jian said. "I was also shocked when I first found out!"
"Why didn’t you tell us sooner?" complained Mo Lao San. "We’ve been worried for so long."
The other brothers were also staring at Mo Jian. Mo Jian touched his nose.
"I asked Uncle Five to keep it a secret for ," Dugu Qianye explained for Mo Jian.
"Since Qianye has spoken up for you, we’ll forgive you this ti!" Mo Lao San huffed and returned to his seat, then asked Dugu Qianye, "Qianye, what level are you at now?"
"Just a 6th-grade," said Dugu Qianye nonchalantly.
Clang, Mo Chi’s cup fell onto the table as he was drinking tea.
On the Xuanyue Continent, everyone knows that the higher the level of cultivation, the more difficult it is. The sa goes for alchemy; the higher the grade, the harder it is to make elixirs. Many alchemists spend their whole lives just to reach the 6th-grade. They thought it miraculous when Mo Feng reached the 3rd-grade at age 14 and estimated that he might reach the 6th-grade by the age of 30. They never imagined that Dugu Qianye, only 16, had already reached the 6th-grade!
"Heh heh, shocked, aren’t you?" Mo Jian was inwardly delighted. He himself had been this surprised before. Seeing the reactions of his older brothers, he felt instantly vindicated. And if they knew she was also a Beast Tar, heh heh...
"This is really..." Even the normally composed Mo Lao Si was too surprised to complete his sentence.
"I’ll try to make as many elixirs as possible during the vacation, and we’ll buy so more in the store. By the ti the next term starts, Mo Feng’s injury should be mostly healed," Dugu Qianye said. "But what concerns the most isn’t this, it’s that the Feng Family keeps harboring evil intentions toward us. This can’t go on."
The Mo brothers all looked grave.
"And I’ve also heard..." Dugu Qianye paused, then asked, "Is it true that Grandfather has gone missing?"
"Where did you hear that?" Mo Chi and the others were shocked. If this news got out, the Feng Family would surely oppress the Mo Family with force.
"The academy’s head of instruction told . Has Grandfather really gone missing?" Dugu Qianye asked.
"Yes. Not long after you went to Qifeng City, your grandfather said he was going to look for your mother himself. He left in charge of the family and then departed. At first, he sent ssages regularly, but it wasn’t long before we lost all contact," Mo Chi said. "We’ve been announcing to the outside world that he’s in secluded cultivation, just to prevent the Feng Family from finding out."
"With Grandfather not showing himself for so long, the Feng Family must be suspicious. I don’t think this is a long-term solution," Dugu Qianye said. "We must focus on improving the overall combat strength of the Mo Family."
"But in recent years, due to the Feng Family’s suppression, we don’t have the energy or the finances to do so anymore," said Mo Lao Si.
"We don’t need to spend too much wealth. There are free sources of combat power," Dugu Qianye said.
"What do you have in mind?" Mo Lao San asked eagerly.
What do I have in mind?
"There are so many Phantom Beasts in those mountains, just capture and contract with them!" Dugu Qianye said, "This is the most direct and also the quickest and most effective thod."
"We have considered this, but the Beast Tars’ levels are not very high right now. It takes a long ti to ta an Advance Level Holy Beast, and they need a long rest before they can ta another. There simply isn’t enough ti. Besides, we don’t have enough manpower to go into the mountains to capture Phantom Beasts," Mo Chi said.
"Leave this to ," Dugu Qianye said. She planned to sweep through the nearby mountains, which should be sufficient.
"No way," Mo Lao Er firmly objected.
"We can’t let you do sothing so dangerous. You just stay at ho and obediently practice Alchemy," Mo Chi also expressed firm opposition.
Dugu Qianye looked around, but not a single face showed agreent, not even Mo Jian.
"Have you forgotten I have two Divine Beasts?" Dugu Qianye argued.
"That still doesn’t make it okay," Mo Chi disagreed resolutely.
"I agree," Mo Lao Si said, "I believe Qianye is not one to boast. If she is confident, we should support her."
"Lao Si!" Mo Lao San called out.
"Uncle Si understands ." Dugu Qianye smiled at Mo Lao Si.
"But even so, it would take Beast Tars a long ti to ta them, and now the Feng Family has already made the battle situation clear. I’m afraid they won’t give us so much ti," Mo Lao Er said.
"Uncle doesn’t need to worry about this, just wait for my news," Dugu Qianye said confidently, "Since that’s the case, I’ll go see Mo Feng and then set off. Now, if you’ll excuse ."
Having said that, Dugu Qianye stood up, bowed to them, turned around, and left. The few people stared in the direction of the door for a long ti before snapping back to reality.
"Lao Wu, what did Qianye an by that?" Mo Chi asked, confused.
"Heh heh, the night before Qianye left Qifeng City, she once brought back dozens of Holy Beasts at once. I think she must also be a Beast Tar," Mo Jian recalled.
"What?!"
"Good one, you little Lao Wu, keeping everything from us! Watch not deal with you properly this ti!" Mo Lao San said as he jumped up from his chair. Seeing Mo Lao San’s reaction, Mo Jian quickly ran off his chair, shouting for help while running. The other three paid no mind to his cries for help. They all felt it was about ti to properly sort out Lao Wu.
Suddenly, a voice rescued Mo Jian from being chased.
"Uh, uncles really are full of energy," soone said.
The person who had been running around the hall stopped and looked at the figure who appeared at the door.
"Qianye, why have you co back?" Mo Chi asked.
"I forgot sothing," Dugu Qianye said. Then she walked over to Mo Jian’s tea table, waved her hand, and hundreds of Jade Bottles appeared on the table. Along with a Blue Crystal Card.
