Emerging from Seclusion, Cao Ying's Tremendous Changes Over the Past Year

After reading this introduction, Lei Qi was briefly stunned!

He could actually obtain this kind of reward!!?

Although it would significantly boost cultivation, one had to know that a Dou Di clan was itself a place brimming with energy.

Cultivating here was already much faster than in many places outside, and with this feature added on, cultivating in his own residence as a Dou Huang would make one day equivalent to ten days!!

And the effect could actually last all the way to the Dou Zun level!!

Worthy of being the "Family Prosperity" system!

This final reward was undoubtedly the most awesome one.

Tsk.

Although it would not have much effect on Dou Saints, this was already an enormous help!

Still excited, Lei Qi quickly headed back to his residence.

Just as he emerged, a figure suddenly appeared before him.

The person standing before Lei Qi was a middle-aged man. There was not the slightest trace of Dou Qi fluctuation from him, yet he stood suspended in the air before him.

"Elder Lei Mo." After recognizing him, Lei Qi cupped his fists.

"Lei Qi, after a year of seclusion, has the lightning within your body caused any problems?" Lei Mo asked directly.

"???"

Lei Qi was somewhat puzzled. How did Lei Mo know about this?

Seeing Lei Qi's confusion, Lei Mo smiled and continued, "The First Elder was occupied with clan affairs, so he specifically had this old man guard you, brat."

Hearing that, Lei Qi understood.

Still, he had not expected the First Elder to be so "thoughtful."

Moreover, since Elder Lei Mo had appeared the moment he emerged, he had probably truly been guarding this place all along.

Lei Mo was likewise an extremely high-ranking figure within the clan. He was a genius from the same generation as Lei Jin, a late-stage six-star Dou Saint expert.

He was the fourth strongest expert in the clan.

There was also another Supreme Elder named Lei Qing, an early-stage seven-star Dou Saint expert.

"Hehe, Elder Lei Mo, I'm fine now. And after being devoured by the Green Lotus Core Flame, the Black Demon Lightning that had originally been raging has also become much calmer and more stable," Lei Qi said.

Hearing this, Lei Mo deliberately checked him. Only after confirming that the Black Demon Lightning was indeed stable did Lei Mo say, "As long as you're fine."

Everyone just casually checks me over. This is really embarrassing, okay!

"Alright, go back. If anything happens and the Clan Chief or First Elder is unavailable, you can come find this old man at any time." After leaving those words behind, Lei Mo vanished.

"Yes, thank you, Supreme Elder." Lei Qi agreed and offered another junior's salute.

After that minor interruption, Lei Qi quickly returned to his residence. The moment he entered, he realized that there had not been any major changes here??

Come to think of it, he did not feel much attachment to this residence. After all, he had only stayed here for a few days in total.

The moment he stepped into the residence, he sensed fluctuations coming from afar. Cao Ying was probably refining pills?

He immediately headed toward the courtyard where Cao Ying was.

Upon arriving at Cao Ying's courtyard, he saw a lovely figure refining pills there.

She had an exquisitely delicate oval face, bright and captivating eyes, a high and alluring nose bridge, charming crimson lips, and fair, rosy skin.

She was only fifteen!

She was only fifteen years old!!!

Yet the temperament of a little enchantress had already fully blossomed upon her.

After staring blankly for a moment, Lei Qi noticed that Cao Ying was now capable of refining fourth-tier pills.

Compared to a year ago, her cultivation had also improved tremendously. A nine-star Da Dou Shi, a fourth-tier alchemist—judging from her control over the flames, it seemed she could advance to the fifth tier at any moment.

Although she had Medicine Elder's inheritance, being able to reach her current level without a teacher's guidance was enough to demonstrate Cao Ying's talent in alchemy.

When her pill was completed, Lei Qi walked to her side.

Cao Ying looked at the pill in her hand with delight. It seemed that she could now attempt to refine fifth-tier pills.

"Ying'er."

Lei Qi's voice came from behind her.

Cao Ying, who had been examining her pill, turned around excitedly upon hearing Lei Qi call out to her. She immediately leaped into his arms.

Seeing this little accessory charge him while carrying such lethal weapons, Lei Qi's sage-like heart, which had remained steady for so long, rippled slightly.

"Husband~~~"

Cao Ying blinked her seductive eyes and called out coquettishly.

"Hiss."

Lei Qi gave her a pat, then said, "Come on, get down. If there's something to discuss, we'll go back to the room and talk."

Hearing that, Cao Ying reached out and grabbed something.

"Giggle, giggle, giggle~~~"

Immediately afterward, her sweet, delicate laughter rang out.

Although she had often teased Lei Qi in the beginning, his reactions had never been this intense~

Still, Lei Qi could not be blamed for it. Who knew that after such a short time, she would become this devastatingly beautiful!

Yet Cao Ying jumped down from Lei Qi instead. She grabbed his arm, pointed at her pill cauldron, and swayed as she said, "Husband, I think I can try refining fifth-tier pills now, but I don't have much experience yet. Could you guide me, please~?"

Good heavens!

Lei Qi inwardly cried out, Good heavens!

"Alright. However you want me to guide you, I'll guide you that way, okay?" Lei Qi said as he suppressed the restless flames within him and composed himself.

He could discipline the little enchantress whenever he wanted, but right now, of course, he needed to guide her in alchemy.

Although his own rank was not particularly high either, only at the sixth tier, the experience provided by the system undoubtedly placed him at the pinnacle of the sixth tier. Guiding Cao Ying, who was close to the fifth tier, was naturally no problem.

"Mhm, mhm~" Cao Ying immediately nodded.

"Cao Ying, did you refine today's candy?" At that moment, a loli-like voice rang out.

Hearing the voice, Lei Qi looked over.

Tsk.

He had known Zi Yan for two years, yet she still looked exactly the same as before, like a twelve- or thirteen-year-old little girl.

Her light-purple hair hung straight to her waist. Her cheeks were exceptionally fair and tender, her features as exquisite as if carved from jade. Her large, lively black eyes blinked at Lei Qi as she said in surprise, "Lei Qi, you finally came out of seclusion!!"

The next moment, Zi Yan also pounced into Lei Qi's arms, looking as though she had suffered a tremendous grievance. "Sob, sob, sob. If you hadn't come out soon, I would've been bullied to death."

Lei Qi's face darkened. Zi Yan was already at the peak of the Dou Wang realm!

And she said she had been bullied to death???

"Little girl, who bullied you?" Lei Qi asked.

"Your clansmen! After you left, there wasn't any tasty candy. It was all bitter and spicy medicinal ingredients." Zi Yan immediately began recounting the "grievances" she had suffered over the past year.
