After putting on his clothes, Xiao Ze walked up to Ning Rongrong.
He rubbed her head: "Alright, put down your splayed fingers."
Ning Rongrong's five fingers were completely splayed, as if they weren't covering anything.
Xiao Ze didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Hehe… it's not that I wanted to look, my eyes were actually closed." Ning Rongrong's flushed cheeks looked like they could drip blood.
"Yes, yes, I know." Xiao Ze dotingly stroked her face, then sat beside her and pulled her into his embrace.
Perhaps it was from sleeping with Ning Rongrong for so long, but Xiao Ze now liked to hold something warm in his arms to sleep comfortably.
Ning Rongrong also comfortably adjusted her posture in Xiao Ze's arms.
"Xiao Ze, what do you think we should do after the Soul Master Competition ends?" Ning Rongrong asked.
Xiao Ze was stunned. Their current cultivation was all for the Soul Master Competition, and there would be a long cool-down period after the Soul Master Competition.
"I should take you all to travel the continent, to see if we can find any Divinity's inheritance grounds. If not, we'll go to Sea God Island."
"Does Sea God Island really have the Sea God's inheritance grounds?"
"Yes, the people on Sea God Island all need to undergo a trial when they turn eighteen. Those who pass the trial can stay on Sea God Island to serve the Sea God. Otherwise, they will be expelled from Sea God Island."
"This trial is actually the Sea God's assessment."
"There will be rewards for success."
"So that's how it is. Then will we be expelled by Sea God Island if we go there?" Ning Rongrong asked.
"Hmm… it shouldn't be a big problem, but we still need a treasure to go to Sea God Island. With this treasure, it will be safer."
"What treasure?"
"One of the Heaven Dou Empire's national treasures, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud." Xiao Ze didn't hide it.
"What? The Heaven Dou Empire's national treasure?" Ning Rongrong was stunned. A national treasure wasn't just a casual term.
"That's right, this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is actually the Sea God's Heart, it's very important."
"Then should I ask my Uncle Ning to get it from His Majesty?" Ning Rongrong asked.
"Forget it, if Uncle Ning goes to get it, it would be too obvious, and besides, it's not suitable." Xiao Ze shook his head.
"Then how will you get it? It's a national treasure after all."
"Either start with the Crown Prince or win the Soul Master Competition." Xiao Ze believed that Qian Renxue would get it for him.
"I feel the former is very difficult, the latter might be a bit simpler. Our current strength is very strong; besides Wuhun Academy, there shouldn't be any opponents left."
"So, you need to work hard." Xiao Ze cupped Ning Rongrong's cheeks, playing with them and molding them into various shapes.
"Mmm… my spirit power is higher than yours." Ning Rongrong unhappily pushed Xiao Ze's hands away.
"And isn't that because of your Spirit Bone?"
"Hmph… you have more Spirit Bones than me."
"Your Spirit Bone's age limit is higher."
"You're still talking!" Ning Rongrong pinched Xiao Ze's waist with both hands.
"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more." Xiao Ze rested his chin on Ning Rongrong's shoulder, their cheeks gently touching.
The bright moonlight poured down like water.
The night wind gently brushed past, and their figures overlapped in the moonlight.
Xiao Ze's palm rested on Ning Rongrong's lower abdomen, warmth radiating through the thin fabric.
Women generally have more fat, so they usually have a slight belly when sitting.
Xiao Ze also really liked the feeling of this little belly, which could be molded into various shapes in his hand.
And Ning Rongrong's cheeks were soft, carrying a faint fragrance. A few strands of hair by her ear were lifted by the night wind, gently brushing Xiao Ze's neck, tickling him.
Xiao Ze slightly tilted his head, his nose brushing against her neck: "Are you cold?"
"Is it soft?" Ning Rongrong didn't answer, but instead asked back.
"Not bad, the texture is quite good." Xiao Ze wasn't itching to touch, but with his hand placed there, a normal person probably couldn't resist not pinching.
Ning Rongrong's lips curved into an arc, and she closed her eyes, leaning further into his embrace.
The moonlight shone on their bodies, outlining their perfect silhouettes.
...
Several months later.
Xiao Ze once again emerged from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. At this moment, his skin glowed with both ice-blue and crimson light.
This indicated that Xiao Ze's body tempering through ice and fire in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had reached a great accomplishment.
At this moment, Xiao Ze's spirit power had reached level forty, but his physical strength was even comparable to that of a Spirit Emperor.
It could be said that without using spirit power, Xiao Ze could fight a Spirit Emperor with his own strength.
This was extremely exaggerated.
Aside from Xiao Ze's rapid progress, the others were not slow either.
With Xiao Ze providing a large amount of crops.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had reached levels forty-eight and forty-seven respectively.
And Ning Rongrong was at level forty.
Meng Yiran was slightly lower, at level thirty-nine.
The lowest was Zhu Zhuqing, at level thirty-five.
Mainly, Zhu Zhuqing didn't have a Spirit Bone, so her spirit power was quite a bit lower than the others.
However, at her age and cultivation speed, she would definitely become a Spirit Ancestor by the time of the Soul Master Competition.
Her spirit power seemed similar to the original work.
But their actual strength was vastly different.
Zhuqing not only improved her spirit power, but also her physique and mental force were comprehensively enhanced.
And her future cultivation would not be much slower; in the later stages, her cultivation would definitely be faster than in the original work.
In addition, everyone's Spirit Bone and spirit ring age limits had also increased significantly.
Xiao Ze's Holy Spirit Spine and Eight Spider Lances had both reached seven thousand years.
As for why he prioritized external Spirit Bone, it was because external Spirit Bone might gain new effects, while the skull only improved physique, and his own physique was already strong enough.
And his spirit rings were now purple, purple, black.
Everyone else had all purple spirit rings.
They were not in a hurry to upgrade to ten-thousand-year spirit rings; it was going to happen eventually anyway.
As for the quality improvement of the Agricultural Sprite, there was some, but not much. After all, the lowest had already reached epic level, and wanting to upgrade to legendary level was not that easy.
Xiao Ze estimated that relying on themselves, the difficulty was too great; they still needed to find high-energy things to feed them.
Originally, Xiao Ze wanted to feed them the crops they produced themselves, but it had no effect.
It also meant that he couldn't exploit a bug.
Besides the improvement in cultivation.
Xiao Ze's alchemy had also reached a whole new level.
He could completely integrate the effects of the crops into the elixirs.
And the effects of the elixirs were surprisingly good, with a one plus one greater than two effect.
By consuming elixirs later, their cultivation speed could be even faster.
As for whether there would be elixir toxins.
That was truly overthinking it.
The Spirit herbs and Spirit medicines born in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, except for those that were inherently poisonous, would not be toxic, and even had very few impurities.
This was a natural planting ground.
Secondly, there was no need to mention his own crops; they were grown by his own Spirit, so how could they be poisonous?
And Ye Lingling's alchemy, learning from Xiao Ze, had also reached a decent level.
Being able to integrate crops into elixirs once or twice out of ten attempts was already quite good.
