The Qingming Case

Because it was the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings who first fused two Soul Bone with Ye Qinghe, and because the method of sacrificing the soul along with the bones was also adopted, the sacrifice process went exceptionally smoothly.

Soon, Ye Qinghe had two Soul Ring, one platinum and one red gold.

At the same time, Ye Qinghe's Soul Power was also increasing rapidly, reaching level 94, 95, 96, 97, Level 98, and 99.

His Soul Power ultimately stopped at level ninety-nine. If it weren't for the restrictions of this world's rules, he might have broken through to level one hundred with the sacrifice of the two dragon kings.

Even so, it allowed his Qingming Needle Martial Soul to transform into a magic weapon ahead of schedule, which is a true divine artifact level.

Moreover, his External Soul Bone, the Evil God Hook and the Evil God Wings, also evolved and transformed into divine artifacts.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Qinghe simply sat cross-legged and began cultivating the Nine Nether Mysterious Heaven Skill and the Tiangang Formula.

After spending half a year, he finally mastered both of his martial arts techniques.

Meanwhile, Xiao Wu had already become best friends with the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings in Ye Qinghe's Sea of Consciousness.

Upon seeing Ye Qinghe arrive, Xiao Wu immediately sneered, "Hmph, Ye Qinghe, I'm not afraid to tell you, I've already told Sister Bing and Sister Huo your true colors."

"Oh!" Ye Qinghe responded with a flat "oh."

"Hey, can you give me some kind of response?" Xiao Wu felt like she had punched a cotton ball.

Ye Qinghe ignored him and turned his gaze to the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, "I still don't know your honorable names."

"Ice Heart." The Ice Dragon King's reply, just like her aloof personality, consisted of only two short words.

"Fire Child." The Fire Dragon King's expression also turned serious, no longer as fiery and unrestrained as when he was playfully fighting with Xiao Wu.

Ye Qinghe nodded. "Since you two have sacrificed yourselves for me, I will not hold back any longer and will resurrect you as usual."

"Thank you." The two women breathed a sigh of relief. Although Xiao Wu had been tricked into sacrificing herself by Ye Qinghe, what did that have to do with them?

Best friends are best friends.

Survival is the most important thing.

Xiao Wu that the two had been turned against their side in just a few words, Xiao Wu's earlier arrogance vanished. She pointed to the sky above and asked, "Hey, Ye Qinghe, what's that?"

Ye Qinghe looked up and saw two orbs of light, resembling small suns, appearing above his Sea of Consciousness.

One is black and red, the other is blue and white.

The black and red orb of light was extremely deep; if one stared at it for too long, it felt as if one's soul would be swallowed up.

The cyan one exudes a sharp aura; the faint cyan light emanating from its surface is like needles, and just one glance is enough to make one feel a stinging sensation in their eyes.

The Fire Dragon King stared at the two bald men, his gaze unwavering. "These appear to be Soul Core."

The Ice Dragon King said, "It should be Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Core."

Then she looked at Ye Qinghe, "I never expected that you humans could also condense a Soul Core, and even achieve Yin-Yang Complementarity."

Ye Qinghe, "It was just luck. I once hunted a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and got a bead. Relying on that bead, I was fortunate enough to condense that black and red Devouring Soul Core. As for the other Soul Ring, it's Spiritual Soul Core. It's what I'm preparing for to achieve Dual Godhood in the future."

"Dual Godhood?" The three women were taken aback.

The Fire Dragon King exclaimed incredulously, "This is simply too insane! How can one person possess two divine positions?"

The Ice Dragon King was more composed. "You must have other methods."

Ye Qinghe nodded, pointed at Xiao Wu, and said, "That's right. After I achieve a godhood with my First Martial Soul, I'll use this rabbit as a safety net to help me with my second godhood."

"You bastard, you really did have designs on me." Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu immediately panicked like a startled deer, covering her not-so-large area of pride.

"You don't have to agree. I can always find other Soul Beast; I'm sure there are plenty of people willing to become the Needle Setter."

What Ye Qinghe valued in Xiao Wu was not anything else, but her Invincible Golden Body and teleportation ability. Just imagine, if Xiao Wu were refined into the divine artifact Qingming Slip, which could both defend and deflect attacks, what a powerful defensive artifact it would be.

"You win." Xiao Wu gritted her teeth. She admitted that she couldn't resist the temptation of sharing the divine position.

Having arranged everything, Ye Qinghe did not linger there any longer.

When he returned to Dugu Bo's cave dwelling, a group of beautiful girls had already appeared in front of the cave.

Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu and Shui Yue'er also came.

Upon seeing Ye Qinghe, the three women in front immediately rushed over with tears in Ye Qinghe eyes and embraced him. Dugu Bo, as the eldest of the three, occupied the middle position, Ye Lingling leaned on Ye Qinghe's left shoulder, and Zhu Zhuqing leaned on Ye Qinghe's right shoulder.

"Alright, alright, I'm back now, aren't I?" Ye Qinghe gently patted the three girls' heads.

At this moment, he truly felt the beauty of the Land of Love.

Once a girl falls in love with you, she will be devoted to you forever.

This is why he felt so confident in training them.

Otherwise, if he were in the world of "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality," doing this would probably mean he wouldn't even know how he died.

"Come on, do you think this will make up for what I owe you? Zhu Zhuqing, Lingling, go! This time, we'll make him pay back all the grain taxes he owes over the past five years in one go."

Dugu Yan was the first among the women to follow Ye Qinghe, and the two could even be considered childhood sweethearts.

Therefore, without any hesitation, they pulled and pushed Ye Qinghe into the cave. Although Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing were shy, they did not spoil the atmosphere of this long-awaited reunion.

Seeing Ye Qinghe being pushed inside by the three women, Shui Yue'er said to Shui Bing'er with some eagerness, "What, sister, aren't you going in with brother-in-law? Are they going to do that?"

Xue Wu teased from the side, "I think you're the one who wants to go in."

"What, don't you want to go in?" Shui Yue'er retorted.

"I..." Xue Wu blushed. Of course, she wanted to go in too. After all, who would give up such a golden opportunity when the boy was their ideal type?

Putting everything else aside, Shui Bing'er's current level 66 Soul Emperor cultivation is something that has been the envy of her for a long time.

Yes, Shui Bing'er has already Soul Emperor. Her Sixth Soul Ring was not obtained through hunting, but rather came from a ten-thousand-year adaptive Soul Ring given to her by Zhu Zhuqing.

As for Zhu Zhuqing Ye Qinghe herself, Dugu Bo had told Dugu Zhu Zhuqing to tell her not to rush to absorb her Seventh Soul Ring, so it was currently empty.

"In that case, let's go in together later."

To Shui Yue'er and Xue Wu's surprise, Shui Bing'er did not stop them.

Several hours later, after the three women inside the cave were slaughtered and their armor was stolen, Shui Bing'er pulled her younger sister inside.
