After spending a few leisurely days at the Dongfang family, one day, the head of the Dongfang family mysteriously summoned Dongfang Mian.

"You, you kept this from us so badly! If Mo Qinghe hadn't come and let it slip that day, I wouldn't have known that the renowned genius alchemist of the Tianwu Dynasty was actually my own granddaughter," the head of the Dongfang family said, feigning anger.

"Ah, everyone already knows?" Dongfang Mian exclaimed in surprise.

"No, only your uncle and I know. You're hiding this from your grandfather and uncle," the head of the Dongfang family said irritably.

"Grandpa, I just forgot, how could I possibly hide it from you and Uncle?" Dongfang Mian said coquettishly.

The head of the Dongfang family stared at the face that resembled his daughter and was momentarily stunned.

After a moment of silence, the head of the Dongfang family took out a red stone and said, "This is..."

"A god-level fire attribute skill?" Dongfang Mian looked shocked; it looked very familiar.

"You know?" The head of the Dongfang family was surprised.

"Well, back then..." Dongfang Mian told the Dongfang family head about how she unexpectedly obtained a wood-attribute skill book during the freshman lottery at the Vermilion Bird Academy, and also demonstrated the Vine Entangling skill, which drew high praise from the Dongfang family head.

"I see. It's truly a great opportunity bestowed upon you by heaven," the head of the Dongfang family nodded repeatedly, saying, "This fire attribute skill stone was left behind by our ancestor who ascended many years ago. It was said to be the Dongfang family's most precious treasure, but only the head of the family knows that it is a god-level fire attribute skill, which is many levels higher than the ordinary skill books in our family's treasure pavilion."

"Before our ancestor ascended to heaven, he said that only the core direct descendants of the Dongfang family could refine this skill book. It must be a matter of fate. So many family heads of the Dongfang family have come and gone, but no one has been able to refine this skill book. So today I have called you here to see if you have the opportunity."

"Refining?" Dongfang Mian looked at the head of the Dongfang family with a strange expression. "Grandpa, don't you know how to use this?"

"Ahem, that ancestor didn't explain in detail. What, does Mian'er know?"

"Uh... Grandpa, if nothing unexpected happens, this thing should be edible."

"What!" The head of the Dongfang family was shocked, then said in a state of collapse, "All these years, I actually..."

Before Dongfang Mian could say anything, the head of the Dongfang family calmed down and waved his hand, saying, "Mian'er, there's no need to say anything. Your uncle and I have already reached our limit. Even if we master this attribute skill, it will be difficult for us to improve further. You are the future hope of our Dongfang family, and this must be given to you."

After hesitating for a long time, Dongfang Mian finally said nothing more and ate it in front of the Dongfang family head. After a brief fluctuation of spiritual energy, she successfully mastered the god-level fire attribute skill - Burning.

As the head of the Dongfang family watched her "consume" the skill stone and master the skill, he couldn't help but curse the old ancestor for not speaking clearly. Only then did he say a lot of words to Dongfang Mian, entrusting her with an important task.

Dongfang Mian knew the value of god-level attribute skills. The Dongfang family head, who had given this family treasure to her without hesitation, and who might face questioning from the family elders in the future, once again felt the power of family affection.

He firmly assured the head of the Dongfang family that he would become a powerful figure in the entire Vermilion Bird Continent in the future, making the Dongfang family one of the top families on the Vermilion Bird Continent.

Back in her room, Dongfang Mian couldn't resist the urge to practice her newly learned skills on Aju. Soon, the sound of cats screaming in pain echoed through Dongfang Mian's courtyard.
