Chapter 116: Anomaly
In the blink of an eye, nearly half a month had passed.
Early in the morning, sunlight poured down from the top, refracted through the mist above, brightening the entire valley.
At this moment, Ye Qiu had a black cloth tied over his eyes. From the previous pain to the current itching, he speculated that the fusion of the two forces inside him should be almost complete.
In a few days, he could check the results!
As he stepped out of the door, Xiao Lan swung away from Dugu Yan and came over.
"Brother! You're awake."
The environment of the Ice and Fire spirituel Eyes was indeed unique. Xiao Lan had grown taller and was now equivalent to a nine-year-old child, reaching Ye Qiu's chest.
She pounced into Ye Qiu's arms and sniffed carefully.
Since coming here, she hadn't rested with Ye Qiu at all. She always slept with Dugu Yan.
Because of this, Ye Qiu had been scolded by Dugu Yan as a beast many times.
"Yeah!" Ye Qiu nodded and gently patted her back.
"Xiao Lan! Call that guy to come and eat!" Not far away, in a wooden shed, Dugu Bo and his granddaughter were already seated.
"Got it, Sister Yan!" Xiao Lan answered and then held Ye Qiu's hand. "Let's go, Brother!"
After sleeping together for so long, the two girls had become quite familiar, and their terms of address had become much more intimate.
"Good morning, Grandpa Dugu!"
"Good, good! Haha." Even the eccentric and unpredictable Dugu Bo showed great affection for Xiao Lan.
After Xiao Lan finished the food in her soul device, she personally went to get more.
Ye Qiu followed her to the table, and Xiao Lan diligently served him food.
Dugu Yan looked on, feeling a bit itchy!
"Kid! How is your research on that self-created soul technique going?"
"It's going fine. Once my eyes recover, I should be able to master it quickly!"
Ye Qiu chuckled. In the past half month, he hadn't practiced soul power much; instead, he focused on familiarizing himself with it and precisely controlling soul power, putting his previous ideas into action.
"That's good. Show me when the time comes!"
Dugu Bo stroked his green beard.
"Don't worry; I won't disappoint you!"
"Sister Yan, move that dish over a bit. Brother loves it, but Xiao Lan can't reach it!"
Xiao Lan tugged at Dugu Yan's clothes, pointing to a delicious dish on the corner of the table.
"Yeah, I know!" Dugu Yan reluctantly moved the plate over.
"Thanks, Sister Yan!" Xiao Lan also added some food to Dugu Yan's bowl.
"Hehe." Ye Qiu suddenly felt that this little girl had treated him well.
After the meal, Dugu Bo left as usual.
Xiao Lan pulled Ye Qiu to stroll around the Ice and Fire spirituel Eyes. She was already getting bored.
"Brother, when will your eyes get better? Xiao Lan already misses Sister Rong Rong!"
"Don't worry; it won't take long!"
Ye Qiu could only try to comfort her as much as possible.
Standing alone near the wooden house in the distance, Dugu Yan looked at the direction of the two, wanting to approach but hesitating.
Seeing her alone, Xiao Lan also sent her an invitation.
In Xiao Lan's heart, this big sister, apart from pinching her little face and speaking ill of her brother while sleeping, was quite good in other aspects.
"Sister Yan! Come play with us!"
Seeing Xiao Lan waving at her, and looking at Ye Qiu, who was still smiling, Dugu Yan slowly walked over.
"Sister Yan, let's take a walk together!"
Xiao Lan held Ye Qiu with one hand and held Dugu Yan with the other.
"Sister Dugu Yan, how is the snake venom in your body?"
"It's alright. According to Grandpa, in another half a year or so, I should be able to consider hunting for the fourth soul ring!"
Dugu Yan's voice was flat as she kneaded Xiao Lan's small hand. Her gaze occasionally swept over Ye Qiu and the two ice coffins in the ice spring.
"It's just that the soul bone storing the toxin hasn't been settled yet. After obtaining the fourth soul ring, the toxin might erupt again."
"Sister Yan, don't worry about that. Brother will definitely help you! Right, Xiao Lan? Brother?" Xiao Lan looked at Ye Qiu with a smiling face.
"Yeah! I'll do my best."
Ye Qiu nodded, smiling gently.
"Then, thank you!"
Dugu Yan didn't worry too much. In her view, although Ye Qiu, a great soul master, had excellent combat power, soul bones, especially those that matched his attributes, were not something that could be obtained by wishfull thinking.
The three of them chatted aimlessly as they approached the Ice and Fire spirituel Eyes.
Sensing the increasing heat in the air, Ye Qiu couldn't help but remind them.
"Xiao Lan, don't get too close; Miss Dugu won't be able to handle it!"
"Yeah, Xiao Lan knows." Xiao Lan responded, leading the two around a corner and heading towards the wooden house.
After strolling with Xiao Lan for a while, Ye Qiu returned to his room to continue experimenting with his ideas.
Meanwhile, Xiao Lan was soaking in the Ice and Fire spirituel Eyes, absorbing the aura emanating from them.
Her clothes were originally transformed and didn't need to worry about damage.
Due to the toxins in her body, Dugu Yan didn't need to practice much either. She sat under the eaves, chin resting on her hands, contemplating something.
In the room, Ye Qiu's fingers traced through the air, soul power gathering at his fingertips. Wherever his fingertips passed, they left behind a thin soul thread, which couldn't last too long and dissipated in the air.
In Ye Qiu's view, if he could achieve the external release of soul power, then the creation of his own soul technique would be half successful!
With the support of the Mysterious Heaven cultivation art Skill and Ye Qiu's decent mental power, his control over soul power was exceptional, making this step relatively easy.
"Hmm? Did I break through?" Suddenly, Ye Qiu felt a sensation of alternating warmth and cold in his chest.
Soul power surged from a green seed, coursing through Ye Qiu's body.
His soul power broke through to level 27 in an instant.
"Something's not right!" Ye Qiu covered his chest. Although the breakthrough had happened a while ago, the life seed in his heart seemed to be trembling continuously.
"Brother!"
"Xiao Lan!"
Outside, Xiao Lan and Dugu Yan's alarmed voices came one after the other.
"What's going on!" Ye Qiu immediately reacted and rushed out of the door!
Snap! As soon as the door opened, a strong wave of heat or extreme cold assaulted him!
...
"Haha! Great, Xiao Lan has grown up a bit more!"
Discovering the changes in her body, Xiao Lan, who was soaking in the Ice and Fire spirituel Eyes, joyfully exclaimed.
However, she didn't notice a prominent vertical green leaf pattern on her forehead, with red and blue colors constantly circulating on it.
"Huh? What's going on!" Xiao Lan quickly realized that something was wrong; her body was still absorbing the power from the Ice and Fire spirituel Eyes.
Suddenly, two threads, one blue and one red, appeared in the water, turning into forces trying to envelop her.
"Let go of Xiao Lan! Xiao Lan wants to get out!" Suddenly, Xiao Lan struggled as if drowning.
"Ah! Brother!" Xiao Lan uttered a final cry and was tightly wrapped in the red and blue forces, floating gently above the Ice and Fire spirituel Eyes!
In a daze, Xiao Lan seemed to hear some ancient and profound voices.
"Divine power! This is the taste of divine power!"
"Xiao Lan!"
Dugu Yan, who noticed the abnormality from a distance, hurriedly ran towards them.
...
Feeling the sudden turmoil of the Ice and Fire spirituel Eyes, Ye Qiu immediately removed the black cloth covering his eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt a slight itching and a hint of tears in his eyes.
"What on earth is going on!?" Ye Qiu's voice trembled a bit. Above the Ice and Fire spirituel Eyes, there was a two-meter-diameter sphere suspended.
