Li Qing thought that since Xuan Niao and Raven were separated from one form, could they be fused again to return to their mutually dependent state?
After some attempts, he found that the two attributes were completely separated and it was impossible to fuse them back together.
This meant that the Self-Fusion Skill seemed a bit unfeasible, at least for now he couldn't think of any way, and could only slowly research it later.
"Li Qing!"
Ye Lingling opened the door and called out softly.
"Come."
Li Qing got up, patted his butt, and then walked into the room.
Ye Lingling didn't think much of it, followed him back into the room, and then saw him take out a jade box and hand it over.
"What is this?"
Li Qing explained, "Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, one of the immortal grade heavenly treasures. Although it cannot cause your Martial Soul to evolve, it can help you solve the problem of slow cultivation speed."
Since she could perform Martial Soul Fusion Skill with him, Li Qing naturally didn't mind cultivating her well.
"Ah?"
Ye Lingling looked at him blankly. Such a precious item, just given to her like this?
Is this a betrothal gift?
Li Qing smiled, "Your soul power level is too low. If the problem of slow cultivation speed isn't solved, the gap between you and me will only get bigger."
"Although Martial Soul Fusion Skill has no soul power requirements, the difference in strength shouldn't be too great either."
"Just like just now, just completing the Martial Soul Fusion drained all your soul power. If this continues, when can we rely on Martial Soul Fusion Skill to fight?"
"Thank you." Ye Lingling took the jade box.
Li Qing said, "Just chew and swallow it directly, but you need to circulate your soul power to help the medicinal effect integrate into your body. Its medicinal effect can last until level seventy."
Ye Lingling nodded heavily, then sat cross-legged and ate it bite by bite.
The medicinal properties of the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid were very gentle and the most mellow. Absorbing it didn't require enduring any pain, only a faint white mist flowing from her skin.
At the same time, bursts of fragrance emanated from her.
Ye Lingling was already very beautiful and possessed a hint of otherworldly aura. At this moment, set against the white mist, she added a few more points of nobility, as if she were a fairy currently in seclusion cultivation.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Lingling slowly opened her eyes.
"Li Qing."
Seeing Li Qing staring at her blankly, Ye Lingling's face turned slightly red, and she couldn't help but call out softly.
"Ahem..."
Li Qing gave an awkward smile and asked, "How do you feel?"
Ye Lingling happily said, "My soul power level has reached level twenty, and I tried it, the speed of absorbing and refining energy has indeed increased a lot."
Li Qing nodded, "Although the effect of the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid on increasing soul power is not top-notch, it is still considerable."
"When you finish absorbing the second soul ring, your soul power level should have no problem directly rushing to twenty-seven or twenty-eight. The specifics will only be known after you finish absorbing the soul ring."
In the original work, this immortal herb was consumed by Oscar, increasing his soul power by a full five levels.
At that time, Oscar was already over level thirty, and even with an additional level of soul power, Ye Lingling was only level twenty. It is conservatively estimated that it can increase her soul power by eight or nine levels.
"Really?" Ye Lingling's eyes lit up.
She had always been the one with the lowest soul power level in the team. In that case, wouldn't her soul power level directly surpass Ning Rongrong and rank third?
Li Qing smiled, "Can I still lie to you?"
"Thank you."
Li Qing rolled his eyes at her, "You keep thanking me, but there's no actual action."
Ye Lingling's little face turned red, and she lowered her head.
"Let's go, dinner should be ready."
Li Qing didn't tease her anymore and turned to walk out of the room.
To his slight surprise, the moment he stepped out, Ye Lingling actually launched a sneak attack, quickly pecked him on the face, and then ran away directly.
Li Qing froze for a moment, touched the spot where he was kissed, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
"Huh, why aren't you running anymore?"
Li Qing turned a corner and found that Ye Lingling was standing by the wall with a red face, somewhat at a loss.
"I don't know the way."
Ye Lingling was a bit embarrassed, her eyes darting around, not daring to look at him directly.
"Let's go."
Li Qing led Ye Lingling all the way to the dining room, just as he met Dugu Yan who was about to call them.
"I was just about to call you, you arrived quite timely."
As she spoke, Dugu Yan carefully sized up the two of them, but saw that Li Qing's expression was normal, as if nothing had happened, but Ling Ling's slightly flushed face explained everything.
They must have been doing something embarrassing in the room.
"Hehe..."
Dugu Yan let out a strange laugh, winking at Ye Lingling, making the latter's face even redder.
"What are you causing trouble for?"
Li Qing rolled his eyes at her and then walked into the dining room.
Dugu Yan then leaned next to Ye Lingling and asked, "How was it, how was it, what did it feel like?"
"We didn't..."
Ye Lingling wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Dugu Yan.
"What are you hiding from me for?"
"Ling Ling!"
Just as Ye Lingling didn't know what to do, Li Qing poked his head out and called her name. She ran into the dining room as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
Dugu Yan pouted and followed suit.
The area where Dugu Manor was located was the rich area of Heaven Dou City. Most of the wealthy and powerful people in Heaven Dou City lived in this area, and the Ye family was naturally no exception.
After dinner, Li Qing walked Ye Lingling home.
However, there wasn't much conversation between them along the way, like going through the motions, because Ye Lingling hadn't recovered yet, and she would become shy whenever Li Qing spoke.
"I'm home."
Seeing her house, Ye Lingling had an indescribable feeling, as if liberation was close at hand, yet she also felt inexplicably reluctant to part.
Li Qing nodded, "See you another day."
She would definitely be going to hunt for a soul ring tomorrow, and it was hard to say exactly how many days it would take.
"Okay, goodbye."
Ye Lingling nodded and gently waved her small hand.
After watching Li Qing disappear, Ye Lingling was about to enter the door when she saw three heads poking out from the side of the door in unison, which surprised her greatly.
"Dugu Bo, what are you doing?"
"Hehe!"
Ye Tianxing let out a strange laugh, and then Ye Dichent and Liu Xinyi also showed meaningful smiles.
The chauffeur responsible for picking up and dropping off Ye Lingling from school had already brought back the news that she had left with Li Qing early on, so the three of them had been waiting at the door.
They were all experienced people, so they were very clear about what it meant for Li Qing to walk her back.
Unexpectedly, Ling Ling was so effective. She took down Li Qing on the first date. This was definitely great news for the Ye family.
Because Li Qing was monstrous enough.
Even looking at the entire history of Soul Masters, it would be difficult to find a second one more monstrous than him.
As long as such a genius didn't die, his future would definitely be extraordinary.
And with the support of Dugu Bo and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the possibility of his premature death couldn't be said to be zero.
Anyway, it was very low.
This was also why they instigated Ling Ling to actively pursue him.
Of course.
The most crucial thing was that he was excellent enough, and Ling Ling herself wasn't particularly resistant.
