Power Progression

Background / History

To avoid continental turmoil, Dugu Bo brought his family to the Star Crown Sect several years before Dugu Yan's first meeting with Xu Mingxi. She grew up within the sect and developed good relations with its younger Xing Generation members, though she had previously known Xu Mingxi only through stories about the Young Sect Master. 104

Dugu Bo personally trained her, and the Star Crown Sect's resources allowed her cultivation to advance without the poison-related burden that had long afflicted the Dugu Family. 105
