Actually, saying that Ye Qiu is only level 31 isn't entirely accurate.
His cultivation level isn't far from level 32; he should be able to break through in about half a month.
As for why he keeps staring at Xiao Lan, it's because she's also one of the instigators of all this…
When the Crimson Flame Wolf sacrificed itself, most of its energy was absorbed by the Seed of Life within its body.
Originally just a sprout, it was showing signs of becoming a seedling, its tiny leaves about to unfurl.
Facing Ye Qiu's gaze, Xiao Lan finally sensed something was wrong, and her previously feigned shyness immediately crumbled.
Clutching the hem of her clothes, she cautiously and tentatively asked,
"Brother~ Did Xiao Lan do something wrong again?"
"Hehe. No, no!" Ye Qiu waved his hand; he was just venting.
"Oh!" Xiao Lan responded aggrievedly, while Tiger nuzzled her face, seemingly comforting her.
"Hey kid, what's wrong with you? What's going on? Yan Yan absorbed a ten-thousand-year soul ring and broke through to level 43, how come you, a Soul Master, are only level 1?"
Level 1? No! It should be less than level 1, after all, reaching level 31 is inevitable after absorbing a soul ring!
Dugu Bo frowned, his eyes scanning the two of them. Are either of these siblings even normal?!
"Ye Qiu?" ×2
"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Ye Qiu squeezed the two girls' small hands, and after a moment of silence
, under the strange gazes of the others, he walked up to Xiao Lan.
"Alright, don't be upset!" He patted her head, then hugged her and patted her back.
"Brother~"
Xiao Lan also snuggled into his arms, and Ye Qiu leaned close to her ear, his voice gentle.
"Release your cultivation."
"Huh?"
"What 'huh'? Be good!" He reached out and poked her smooth forehead, then took her hand.
Facing the group, three dark purple spirit rings rose from beneath her feet. Little Blue, though puzzled, obediently released her own spirit rings.
"Ah! Little Blue, when did you become a Spirit Master?"
Ning Rongrong exclaimed, staring at Little Blue in shock.
She had been with her the whole time; how could she not know when Little Blue acquired her spirit rings?
Looking at the three spirit rings rising beneath Little Blue's feet, Ning Rongrong blurted out,
"And...and the spirit rings are also..."
"Three thousand-year spirit rings!" Dugu Yan also looked at Little Blue in surprise.
Those three spirit rings, gleaming with an eerie purple light, the third ring was even almost black!
Dugu Bo frowned, not understanding what Ye Qiu was trying to do—reveal Little Blue's identity?
"Is it strange? Actually, Little Blue and I have a special symbiotic relationship. I even need to share a portion of my cultivation with her!"
Ye Qiu chuckled, revealing their connection.
Over time, Little Blue's ability to acquire spirit rings without hunting spirit beasts would inevitably be exposed, so Ye Qiu simply revealed part of the truth.
"A symbiotic relationship?" Ning Rongrong felt she had received a lot of information today, much of which shattered her previous understanding, leaving her mind a bit confused.
"Yes, yes!" Xiao Lan nodded firmly, wrapping her arms around Ye Qiu's, a smile on her face. "So Xiao Lan can't live without her brother."
"No wonder, so Xiao Lan was breaking through just now!"
Dugu Yan suddenly understood, remembering where she had seen Xiao Lan's heterochromatic eyes before.
No wonder Ye Qiu's body changed after Xiao Lan was enveloped by that red and blue sphere.
So the two had such a connection!
"Is that so?"
Dugu Bo's face showed some doubt, but as an old and shrewd man, he naturally thought things through more thoroughly.
Even if Ye Qiu's explanation could explain Xiao Lan's self-generated soul ring, why would he use Xiao Lan's domain?
'This kid is dishonest!'
Dugu Bo gave Ye Qiu a meaningful look, but didn't say anything, since he was determined to be the grandfather.
He grinned, his mood brightening again.
"Haha. Alright, alright, since you're okay, let's head out!"
"Okay, I'll take you out now!"
"Roar~!"
Just as Ye Qiu was about to act, the Jade-Eyed Cloud-Winged Tiger growled and snatched a soul bone from the corpse of the Crimson Flame Demon Wolf.
"Hmm? Hehe. I almost forgot!" Ye Qiu patted its head and took the soul bone in his hand.
It was a right leg bone, entirely crimson, and still felt slightly burning in his hand.
...
At noon, under the blazing sun, in the Sunset Forest.
An old man and a young man appeared in a clearing. Ye Qiu looked strangely at Dugu Bo, who was about to embark on another long journey.
"Senior, you're not going to spar with someone again, are you?"
"Hmph! Kid, don't you know why I'm leaving? I'm too lazy to get involved in your young people's affairs. I won't stay here and get in the way!"
Dugu Bo glared at Ye Qiu, his beard bristling. If it weren't to make room for Ye Qiu, he, Dugu Bo, wouldn't want to travel around like this.
"Kid, take good care of Yan Yan these next few days!"
Before he could finish speaking, Dugu Bo flew away into the distance.
"Hehe." Watching the dark green figure disappear into the air, Ye Qiu smiled wryly, formed a hand seal, and his body slowly faded away.
Inside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well secret realm, Ye Qiu released Ning Rongrong and the others from the Divine Might Space.
"Ye Qiu, what place is this? It's so beautiful!"
Ning Rongrong looked around. The air was filled with swirling mist, and the surrounding plants emitted a fluorescent glow. It was the first time she had ever seen such a scene.
"The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!"
"Hmph! I didn't ask you. Even if you knew, it wouldn't matter!"
Hearing Dugu Yan's answer, Ning Rongrong snorted coldly and glared at her.
Dugu Yan raised her eyebrows, a smile playing on her lips, and pulled Ye Qiu's hand closer to her.
"You!"
Ye Qiu interrupted Ning Rongrong, pointing to the red and blue hot pot in the center and introducing it to her.
"This is the place I told you about that can speed up cultivation! That's the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!"
He wanted to show her around, but Little Blue's stomach rumbled beside him. She cried, shaking Ye Qiu's arm.
"Brother, Little Blue is hungry~"
"Haha. Since you're hungry, then Sister Yan will start preparing food!"
Dugu Yan pinched Little Blue's cheek, her eyes glancing at Ning Rongrong, who was still holding Ye Qiu, a strong sense of provocation in her eyes.
"Miss Rongrong, would you like to join us? Let me see your cooking skills!"
"Hmph! Come on, I'll definitely make better food than you!"
"Hehe. You don't have the final say. Ye Qiu will know once he tries it!"
...
Watching the two women's backs, Ye Qiu, with lipstick marks and a little dampness on his cheeks, breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, he wasn't being used as a battleground anymore.
"Little Blue! Go help out too, brother will cultivate for a while!"
"Huh?" Little Blue, who had just approached him and was about to say something to Ye Qiu, paused, then lowered her head dejectedly.
"Okay, I know, brother!"
After sending Little Blue away, Ye Qiu lightly leaped onto the roof and sat down cross-legged.
He carefully reviewed the abilities granted to him by his third ring.
This time, although his soul power hadn't increased much, the gains were still enormous.
First was the soul skill he gained in his left eye:
Kagutsuchi!
It allowed him to control the shape changes of Amaterasu, finally making Amaterasu controllable.
His right eye gained a soul skill called Ame-no-Hi!
Ame-no-Hi!
It mainly possessed two powerful abilities: copying and storing!
In Ye Qiu's view, this soul skill pushed the Sharingan's copying ability to a new level, and its usage had two different directions.
First, it could copy any soul skill he had seen and store it in his left eye. As long as the Sharingan was maintained, it could be released at any time, with no limit on the number of uses. (Equivalent to a replaceable skill slot)
The power of the replicated soul skill is unrelated to the original owner; it depends on Ye Qiu's soul power output.
Only one soul skill can be stored at a time, and the cooldown time for changing a soul skill is three days!
The replicated soul skill cannot exceed Ye Qiu's own limitations, and the maximum number of soul skills that can be copied is the sixth.
In other words, Ye Qiu can currently only copy the first three soul skills of others, and if he needs to change them, he must wait three days until he sees another soul skill.
Secondly, he can replicate his own soul skill and store it in someone else's eyes, with certain conditions set for activation.
Prerequisites for storage: the other person must be conscious and unconditionally cooperate! Or, if the strength difference is huge, forced storage is possible!
"Hehe. My attack methods have become more diverse!" Ye Qiu touched his eyes, quite satisfied with his new soul skill.
But these were not what surprised Ye Qiu the most.
A smile appeared on Ye Qiu's face as he stretched out his hand, and a Blue Silver Emperor extended from his palm.

The body was blue with golden patterns in the center; the left side of the golden patterns flashed red light, radiating intense heat; the right side was covered with frost, exuding a chilling aura.
Three purple spirit rings encircled it. As soon as
the Blue Silver Emperor appeared, a delicate fragrance wafted into Ye Qiu's nostrils, refreshing and serene.
He slowly closed his eyes, focusing his inner gaze on the miniature Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye within his body.
A slight movement of his mind, and he seemed to hear the sound of waves crashing on the shore, as the two powers of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye surged into Ye Qiu's meridians.
At the same time, the third purple spirit ring on the main body of the Blue Silver Emperor in Ye Qiu's palm flickered.
"Great! It's extracted!"
Ye Qiu opened his eyes, looking joyfully at the Blue Silver Emperor in his hand.
On the Blue Silver Emperor, as if bearing fruit, hung two fist-sized 'fruits,' one red and one blue.
The left one was crimson like blood, containing the ultimate fire.
The right one was translucent icy blue, containing the ultimate ice.
This is Xiao Lan's third soul skill, which can further unleash the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon King!
The third soul skill, Blue Silver Ice and Fire Break!
It can materialize two opposing extreme attributes, which, upon colliding, can cause a powerful explosion and have a chance to ignite or freeze enemies.
It can also materialize and use any attribute power independently.
What Ye Qiu values most is that this soul skill gives him a way to channel the power of the mini Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well within his body.
This way, he can try breathing fire, playing with ice, or even spitting water in the future!
Furthermore, adding attribute changes to the Rasengan is not impossible!
"Hehe." A smile appeared on Ye Qiu's lips, and a small red and blue domain appeared at the bottom of the Blue Silver Emperor in his hand.
The Blue Silver Domain has awakened for the second time.
Not only can it provide area-of-effect healing and remove negative status effects within the domain, but the Blue Silver Fragrance containing attribute power has also become controllable.
It can also absorb the opponent's soul power, and has a 10% attribute suppression effect on ice and fire attribute soul masters!
Just as Ye Qiu was grinning foolishly at the Blue Silver Emperor in his hand, Little Blue, with a cunning glint in its eyes, stealthily crept up onto the roof and quietly approached his back.
Ye Qiu closed his eyes and concentrated, intending to try to extract one of the powers from the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
Suddenly, he felt a warmth from behind, a soft, delicate body pressed against his back, and a pair of jade-like hands encircled his waist.
Ning Rongrong's gentle voice rang out.
"Ye Qiu~"
"Hmm? Rongrong?" Ye Qiu opened his eyes, looking at the pretty face resting on his shoulder, somewhat puzzled. "Rongrong, weren't you in the kitchen?"
"Sister Yan Yan can cook there, I came out to keep you company!"
Ning Rongrong pressed her face against Ye Qiu's, her voice revealing indifference, her blue eyes staring straight at him.
"Sister Yan Yan?" Ye Qiu looked at her strangely, turned his head, and pressed his forehead against hers, feeling her warmth.
"Rongrong, are you alright?"
"Ah? I...I'm fine, you misheard! I...How could I possibly call that stinky woman 'sister'!"
Ning Rongrong looked flustered and quickly explained, hugging him tighter.
Ye Qiu frowned, feeling something was off. Ning Rongrong shouldn't be this intimidating! ?!?
Before he could think further, Ning Rongrong's face flushed, and she immediately offered her red lips.
Red lips and white teeth met, Ning Rongrong's hands moved up, holding Ye Qiu's cheeks, slowly savoring the kiss.
Ye Qiu, as usual, slowly entered the mood.
The warm, jade-like touch on her lips, her pearly teeth raised, Ning Rongrong's face quickly turned blood red, and she even had trouble breathing.
Her soul power became chaotic, and her misty blue eyes suddenly flickered, alternating between blue and green.
"Hmm?" Ye Qiu frowned; she was too unfamiliar with him.
Looking at Ning Rongrong with a puzzled expression, Ye Qiu's gaze suddenly became blank, and his mouth stopped moving.
His pupils dilated in shock; Ning Rongrong was slowly transforming into Xiao Lan!
"* (a type of plant)!" Ye Qiu exclaimed, immediately pulling back and nearly falling off the roof, his face still showing shock.
"Ah~!" Xiao Lan also cried out in pain, covering her lips, which were marked with teeth marks and blood.
Feeling weak all over, she collapsed onto the roof.
"Xiao Lan!" Ye Qiu's voice was cold, tinged with shock.
"Ah! Brother! Xiao Lan didn't mean it, I just wanted to try out my new ability..."
Seeing the anger on Ye Qiu's face, Xiao Lan quickly got up, wanting to go to Ye Qiu's side, but hesitated.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she lowered her head, pursing her lips.
"A new ability!?" Ye Qiu's face showed surprise, and he wiped the taste in his mouth with his sleeve.
"Ah! Don't wipe it away!"
Xiao Lan raised her head, stubbornly looking at him, her eyes almost brimming with tears. She lowered her head again, looking aggrieved.
"You...you weren't like this when you kissed Sister Rongrong,
ugh~" *Smack!*
"Uh..." Ye Qiu froze, watching the tears fall.
The slight reproach in his heart suddenly vanished. He quickly walked to Xiao Lan's side, bent down, and looked down at her.
"Hey, Xiao Lan, don't cry!"
He cupped her cheeks in his hands and gently wiped away her tears.
"Then...then you're not allowed to wipe it away!" Her voice was choked with sobs.
"Okay, okay, I won't wipe it away!" Ye Qiu nodded quickly, agreeing immediately.
"You stinky brother, you're disgusted with Xiao Lan!"
Xiao Lan threw herself into Ye Qiu's arms, her shoulders shaking. It took her a while to gradually stop crying, and she spoke in a muffled voice.
"How am I disgusted with you?" Ye Qiu smiled wryly, and sat down again with her in his arms. "Rongrong wouldn't smear my face with saliva like you do!"
"It's still wet."
Ye Qiu brought his face close to Xiao Lan's, shaking his head and rubbing against her soft face.
"Ah~ Don't rub against me!"
Xiao Lan pushed Ye Qiu away with both hands, her face flushed and still with some tear stains.
"Look, even you're disgusted with yourself!"
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes at her, reaching out to touch her lips; the small wound there healed quickly.
"Anyway, you can't be disgusted with Xiao Lan!" She wrapped her arms around Ye Qiu's neck again, clinging to him, her slightly more mature body pressed tightly against him.
"How could your brother be disgusted with you!" Ye Qiu hugged her back, having comforted her enough. He pushed the unwilling Xiao Lan away again, becoming serious once more.
He cupped her face, looking her in the eye .
"Now, tell me why you turned into Rongrong just now, right?"
"I... I just wanted my brother to pamper Xiao Lan more."
She gave him a resentful look first, then shyly tried to lower her head, but Ye Qiu held her tightly in his hands.
Looking into Ye Qiu's eyes, her face burned, her eyes blinking, unable to look at him.
Ye Qiu hadn't been so close to her in a long time; that was her intention.
And because she was more familiar with Ning Rongrong's appearance, she transformed into her.
But she hadn't expected Rongrong and her brother to be so playful. She had never done anything like this before!
He couldn't take it anymore, and before she could even finish being affectionate, he'd given himself away.
Feeling the change in the pressure on Ye Qiu's hand, Xiao Lan pouted and begged for mercy.
"Brother, don't be angry, Xiao Lan won't do it again!"
"Hehe. How could I be angry!"
A few black lines appeared on Ye Qiu's forehead as he suppressed the urge to hit her head, forcing a smile.
"Then what's this ability of yours?"
"This is a new ability that seed gave Xiao Lan!"
"The Seed of Life?"
"Yes! It's this." Xiao Lan removed Ye Qiu's hand, pointing to the shimmering green mark between her eyebrows.
"I can give brother this ability too!"
Xiao Lan proudly pinched Ye Qiu's chin, then reluctantly lowered it under Ye Qiu's unfriendly gaze.
She lowered her head, placing her small hands in front of her chest, tangled together.
"Hehe." Ye Qiu couldn't help but chuckle as he watched her change from smugness to fear and grievance, pinching her chin and lifting her pretty face.
"Alright, then teach me!"
"Really?" Xiao Lan's eyes lit up, looking at Ye Qiu happily.
"Yes! Really!" Ye Qiu affirmed. He was quite interested in this ability to change appearance!
Xiao Lan's words, however, made his smile freeze again.
"Then, then kiss Xiao Lan, and Xiao Lan will teach you!"
Xiao Lan leaned against Ye Qiu's chest, her pretty pink face tilted slightly upwards, pointing to her red lips. (
