After reminiscing with her elder brothers, Xiao Xue informed them of the plan to relocate to the Imperial Capital.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, I hope you both start selling off your assets in Stone Desert City."
"Take whatever is convenient to carry. For what isn't, convert it all into medicinal ingredients and give them to me to refine into Medicinal Pills."
"Once the assets are mostly handled, you will take the mercenaries who are willing to continue following us and leave this place to rendezvous with the Family in the Imperial Capital."
After understanding the Family's situation, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li readily agreed to the relocation.
After discussing serious matters, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li prepared a grand banquet to welcome Xiao Xue.
At the banquet, Xiao Xue raised her wine cup and drank with Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.
In the Xiao Family, before her Coming-of-Age Ceremony, Xiao Zhan did not allow her to drink alcohol.
However, after the Coming-of-Age Ceremony, there were not many restrictions in this regard.
Xiao Xue, who had never touched alcohol before, drank to her heart's content with her two older brothers today.
In her previous life, Xiao Xue, despite being a woman, disliked tea and preferred drinking alcohol.
She liked to drink, even to the point of being a bit of a heavy drinker, but it wasn't because she enjoyed the feeling of being slightly tipsy or hungover.
Some people like to drink because of the atmosphere during drinking.
That kind of clinking glasses, engaging in lively discussions, is very addictive.
Of course, there's also the ambiguity between men and women after drinking.
However, Xiao Xue was not interested in any of that.
She simply liked the taste of alcohol.
"Little Sister is truly amazing." After three rounds of drinks, Xiao Li said somewhat drunkenly.
Xiao Ding also nodded, slightly tipsy; after drinking for so long, he was also a bit drunk.
Towards the end of the drinking, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were getting a bit carried away.
They were both still only Dou Masters, their cultivation far inferior to Xiao Xue's.
Moreover, Xiao Xue possessed the Power of Water, which neither of them had.
Xiao Xue could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, but they couldn't.
Actually, logically speaking, as long as Xiao Xue activated her [Power of Water], she could truly achieve the cheat-like effect of Duan Yu and Qiao Feng drinking in
As long as the [Power of Water] didn't stop, let alone a few vats of wine, she could directly transform into Kuafu and drink an entire long river dry!
At the very least, getting Xiao Ding and Xiao Li drunk was easy.
[Kuafu only takes one sip JPG.]
As night fell, the drunken Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, along with the remarkably sober Xiao Xue, walked out of the main hall.
Before parting, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, whose consciousness was already somewhat blurry, waved at Xiao Xue and said with a smile, "Little Sister, good night."
Xiao Xue nodded, watched her elder brothers being helped away by a few burly men, and then returned to the small courtyard they had arranged for her.
Then, she sat cross-legged on the bed, her mind sinking into her body, and began to Cultivate.
Xiao Ding and Xiao Li's assets in Stone Desert City naturally couldn't be handled in just a day or two.
And before, the drop of Essence Blood that Ah Li gave her, she hadn't fully refined it yet.
After reaching the Peak of Dou Master, she had Sealed the excess energy.
Using this time to completely refine the unrefined heavenly fox essence blood was perfectly suitable.
By the time the matters in Stone Desert City were resolved, she should also be able to completely refine the heavenly fox essence blood and reach the Peak of Great Dou Master.
If Xiao Yi Xian was a bit more capable and broke through a few more stars when refining the brand poison, she might even be able to directly Breakthrough to Dou Ling using the experience points feedback from the 'master-disciple function'.
A fifteen-year-old Dou Ling, if she could achieve it, this accomplishment would Rank as upper-middle tier even in the Central Plains.
Xiao Xue took a deep breath, expelled the residual alcohol Qi, then unsealed the Essence Blood, and began to Cultivate.
With the energy replenishment from the Essence Blood, sleep wasn't actually that necessary for her.
After all, the first time she refined Essence Blood, she spent half a month without sleep or rest and didn't feel any fatigue.
The next morning, Xiao Xue finished her Cultivation, exhaled a mouthful of stale Qi, and slowly opened her eyes.
In just one night, her cultivation, with the help of the Essence Blood, had risen to three-star Great Dou Master, and then she had forcefully suppressed it back to two-star Peak.
"Creak."
