Arc 16Qian Ran’s Growing Influence
Qian Ran took the treasures of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, helping Xian Lin'er and Cai Mei'er reach rank ninety-seven and giving other women powerful cultivation gains. He deepened his relationships with Cai Mei'er, Zhou Yi, and Huo Yun'er, while Huo Yuhao grew increasingly hostile and felt pushed out of his mother’s life.
- Qian Ran absorbed Snow Empress’s seven-hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and skull bone, then advanced to rank fifty-two after absorbing another Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
- Xian Lin'er and Cai Mei'er reached level 97 with Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Ice after refining the dragon souls, and they joined the Sea God Pavilion as allies who hoped Qian Ran could act freely at Shrek Academy.
- Qian Ran returned to Shrek Academy with the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well’s treasures, distributed immortal herbs to the girls, and gave Huo Yun'er a mission to reconnect with Huo Yuhao while hiding their relationship.
- Cai Mei'er invited Qian Ran to dinner, made Yan Shaozhe kneel on a durian, and privately confessed that she loved Qian Ran and would never let another man touch her.
- Qian Ran gave Ma Xiaotao Blazing Glue that raised her cultivation to level seventy-three, then defeated her in a spar by enduring her attacks and revealing that he wielded both Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire.
- Zhou Yi learned Qian Ran would go to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, while Huo Yuhao plotted against him and sent Huo Yun'er toward the Clear Sky Sect to recuperate.
- Huo Yuhao discovered Qian Ran and Huo Yun'er’s relationship, but Huo Yun'er defended Qian Ran and called him Uncle Qian, and Qian Ran knocked Huo Yuhao unconscious when he attacked.
- Qian Ran and Huo Yun'er openly treated each other affectionately in front of Huo Yuhao, who left dinner feeling abandoned and wondering why his mother had become so indifferent to him.
