The agate tortoise, already on its last legs, had no ability to resist.

A bloodshot glint flashed in his eyes, which were the size of mung beans.

A strange fluctuation appeared, and its entire body slowly ignited with blood-red flames, with dark light flowing and covering Ning Rongrong.

Feeling the power constantly flowing into her body, Ning Rongrong frowned and quickly began to circulate her Xuan Tian Gong.

Guide this soul power to your limbs and bones.

Ye Qiu was not idle either; the Seed of Life in his heart flickered continuously with his breath.

The black torrent that was supposed to flow into Ning Rongrong's body suddenly branched out and surged towards Ye Qiu.

A little flowed into the Seed of Life, and a little flowed into Ye Qiu's body.

The Blue Silver Domain slowly rotated, gathering the scattered soul power before entering Ye Qiu's body.

Since helping Dugu Yan absorb the spirit ring last time...

Ye Qiu then discovered that he could also use the Seed of Life and the Blue Silver Domain to absorb the energy that soul beasts used to sacrifice others.

Now he finally has the opportunity to give it a try.

Feeling the increase in his soul power, Ye Qiu's face showed joy, but he dared not relax in the slightest.

Just in case anything goes wrong.

"Roar~!" Erming looked down in astonishment at Ning Rongrong absorbing the soul ring.

Scratching his head, completely baffled.

He could only secretly remember it and ask his older brother when he got back.

Within the Starry Sky Forest, the vegetation is lush and the sky is dark.

Outside, the sun's brilliance has faded, the moon hangs high in the sky, and countless stars twinkle.

Time passes.

The black torrent that surged from the body of the agate tortoise has thinned.

The sacrificial process is coming to an end.

Ye Qiu withdrew his hand at the opportune moment, ceasing to absorb the remaining energy.

Maintaining the Blue Silver Domain.

Looking inward, one sees the seed of life within the body, like a seedling, its two tender little leaves beginning to slowly unfurl.

He felt that he had just broken through to level thirty-five in cultivation.

Ye Qiu was overjoyed!

The last time I broke through to level 34 was when I was hand-to-hand fighting with Xiao Wu in the grass next to the Lake of Life.

It's only been a little over half a month, and he's already at level 35.

However, Ye Qiu was also aware of this.

This kind of speed of improvement is also rare.

Calm down and look again at Ning Rongrong, who is still not finished.

At this moment, the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda in her hand shone with light, becoming even brighter.

Two yellow spirit rings pulsed.

As it floated up and down, a black shadow suddenly appeared on the outer edge.

Then it gradually solidifies.

The black trickle of water was exhausted, and the black spirit ring finally stabilized.

Ning Rongrong's cultivation level also rose accordingly.

It only stopped when it reached level 36.

Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment, then gave a wry smile.

It was much lower than he had expected; it seemed that he had embezzled most of the power of the Agate Tortoise.

"Ah! Am I dreaming?" Ning Rongrong opened her eyes, which shone with nine-colored light.

Looking at the three soul rings—two yellow and one black—on his Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, and sensing his own cultivation level, he couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

It felt somewhat like a dream.

"Of course it's not a dream..." Ye Qiu hugged her from behind, nibbled on her earlobe, and gently kissed it.

"Ye Qiu~! I'm level 36 now..."

Ning Rongrong ignored the slight pain; instead, she felt a tingling sensation.

She looked up and turned her head, grasped Ye Qiu's hand, and gently rubbed it.

Looking into her eyes, Ye Qiu felt a pang of apology: "Yes, I know. If it weren't for me, you could definitely have improved even more!"

“No, I didn’t…” Ning Rongrong retorted.

She turned around, wrapped her arms around Ye Qiu's neck, and gently bit his lips, leaving fish-scale-like patterns.

She pursed her lips, looking at Ye Qiu tenderly. Her eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, and in her blue eyes, she drew Ye Qiu's image.

She gazed at him intently and said, "If it weren't for you, my martial soul wouldn't have evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda; if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had a third ring with 15,000 years of experience; aren't all of these things thanks to you?"

Ning Rongrong gave Ye Qiu a charmingly playful glare.

"Besides, if I'm yours, then what's mine is yours too, no matter what..."

"They're all yours!"

Ning Rongrong stared at Ye Qiu, speaking very seriously.

After speaking, she smiled sweetly and leaned into Ye Qiu's arms.

"You'd better remember this..."

"Yes, I've got it! My Rongrong..." Ye Qiu murmured softly, picking her up in his arms.

He looked up at Erming, whose eyes still held a hint of curiosity.

"Erming, this agate tortoise is yours!"

"Roar~" Erming nodded.

Looking at the still very fresh tortoise in the pit, he stretched out his index finger and scratched his head.

Surprisingly, I didn't feel hungry anymore.

Completely unaware, they had just been force-fed a large amount of what was called "dog food" (a slang term for public displays of affection).

Click! Crack...

Without much hesitation, Erming grabbed the three-meter-wide agate tortoise, lifted its shell, and revealed the tender, fresh meat inside...

Then he tore it apart and chewed it.

It gives you the feeling of a gorilla eating oysters, only with a few more drops of blood.

Seeing Ning Rongrong's furrowed brows and unpleasant expression, they noticed that she was frowning.

Ye Qiu then turned his back to her while holding her.

As soon as I turned around, my body suddenly stiffened.

Suddenly, a blood-red arrow shot into the sky from afar, seemingly reaching the depths of the clouds and piercing the darkness.

Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow.

The blood-red arrow made him very uncomfortable.

Even from this distance, he could almost smell the blood.

Erming, who was enjoying his meal, had long been accustomed to the battle fluctuations that occasionally emanated from the Star Dou Great Forest.

He only glanced at it briefly before giving up and focusing on eating.

"Ye Qiu, is someone hunting souls over there?" Ning Rongrong grabbed his collar, leaned on his shoulder, and asked curiously.

"I think so!" Ye Qiu nodded uncertainly.

Although the Star Dou Great Forest is very dangerous under the cover of night, people still occasionally risk their lives for a suitable spirit ring.

However, Ye Qiu is currently in the mixed zone, not far from the outer perimeter.

The blood-red arrow, however, was positioned relatively close to the interior of the mixed zone.

Most of the spirit beasts there are over 50,000 years old.

Driven by curiosity, Ye Qiu's eyes suddenly turned purple.

In the line of sight, the overlapping shadows of trees were constantly being penetrated, searching for the place where the blood-red arrow was launched.

After a long while, even as his eyes became slightly dry, Ye Qiu still couldn't see all the distant scenes clearly.

"Not even close..."

Ye Qiu murmured to himself.
