Shen Liuyu blinked her big blue eyes, then obediently leaned over, her face full of anticipation.
Shen Hanyu then opened the second wooden box, which contained a Land Dragon Golden Melon.
"This is the Land Dragon Golden Melon, earth attribute. It can remove impurities from the bloodline, increase the taker's bond with the earth. A'yu, your Enamel Fortune Crocodile martial soul is also a dragon species. After taking it, even if it doesn't evolve into a dragon, it will at least reach the Crocodile King level."
Shen Liuyu's small mouth opened wide, and finally she said faintly:
"Brother, where did you get so many treasures from? Tell me! Did you hook up with a rich woman..."
Shen Hanyu had a dark line on his forehead, his mouth twitched, and he fiercely pinched the little girl's pretty face, saying:
"This is what brother traded with a senior. What are you thinking? Your brother is so handsome, how could he find some rich woman or anything? Joking."
Shen Liuyu rubbed her face, hummed, quickly put away the Land Dragon Golden Melon, then playfully stuck out her fragrant tongue at Shen Hanyu.
Shen Hanyu cleared his throat and continued:
"You'd better save the Land Dragon Golden Melon until after level thirty-five to take it. This is your brother's advice to you. As for when to take it, it's up to you, but I have to remind you, improving strength too quickly can easily cause unnecessary trouble. Understand?"
Shen Liuyu nodded obediently, while her beautiful, big eyes turned to the other two wooden boxes.
Shen Hanyu couldn't help but laugh, still casually picked up the two wooden boxes, and said:
"These are two right leg bones, one just ten thousand years old, from the Wolf Thief, the other a little over thirty thousand years old, from the Unicorn Ice Demon Rhino. They're all for you. You absorb the Unicorn Ice Demon Rhino soul bone. Although the Wolf Thief's soul bone is also good in quality and age, it still can't compare to the Unicorn Ice Demon Rhino."
Shen Liuyu: "!!!"
"My dear brother, you're not really being kept by some rich woman, are you? Soul bones over ten thousand years, you actually got two! No, no, I need to calm down, woo woo woo... Why are we from the same parents, but the gap between us is so big..."
The little girl patted her head, her big eyes full of clarity and confusion, looking quite pitiful.
"Tsk tsk, A'yu, after two years apart, how come you have more and more potential to be a... green tea...?"
Shen Liuyu hugged the two wooden boxes tightly, then opened each to take a look. There was liking and excitement in her eyes, but more was confusion.
"Brother, you gave me two right leg bones, but I only have one right leg?"
Shen Liuyu expressed her doubt.
Shen Hanyu looked at the confused Shen Liuyu. The words reached his mouth, but he held them back, and after a while said:
"You can keep them for yourself, or give them to mom and dad, or give them to partners you completely trust, or if you don't want them, you can return them to me."
Shen Liuyu quickly shook her head and directly hid the two wooden boxes in the deepest part of her soul guide.
At this time, Tianmeng said in Shen Hanyu's mind with a slight teasing tone:
"Hanyu, your sister, and you are two extremes. Your sister is a bit too... pure..."
Shen Hanyu was silent for a moment, and silently said in his heart:
"I actually hope she stays carefree like this for a lifetime..."
.........
A day and a half later.
Shen Hanyu and Shen Liuyu appeared on the periphery of the largest forest nearby.
During this time, Shen Liuyu absorbed the Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and indeed broke through to level twenty. Shen Hanyu roughly estimated that after absorbing the second soul ring, Shen Liuyu's soul power would directly reach twenty-five or twenty-six.
This was also a troublesome matter, because Shen Liuyu couldn't explain her sudden surge in strength. Shen Hanyu couldn't find a reason for the time being, so he had to wait and discuss it later.
This time, Shen Hanyu and Shen Liuyu's target was a soul beast between one thousand and one thousand three hundred years, and the quality requirements were extremely high. Only by going deeper into the forest was there a possibility of finding it. The periphery was all low-level soul beasts. Even if the age was suitable, the quality was still somewhat lacking.
The most powerful soul beast here was only two or three, ten thousand years old, which posed no threat to the safety of the two, so naturally, there was no need to worry about safety.
The two wandered around the depths of the forest and finally locked onto a one thousand two hundred year-old Three-Winged Blood Pattern Ant.
The Three-Winged Blood Pattern Ant was not as common as the Thousand Jun Ant or Black Fire Ant.
This was a special soul beast. It sounded like a dark or fire attribute soul beast, but in fact, it was an earth attribute soul beast.
When the Three-Winged Blood Pattern Ant was just born, its body was pure white. After swallowing the blood of the first food, faint red patterns would appear on its body. The more blood and soul beasts it swallowed, the heavier the red patterns on its body, and the stronger its strength.
Someone had done research: a thousand-year level Three-Winged Blood Pattern Ant with deep blood patterns could easily defeat a ten-thousand-year level Three-Winged Blood Pattern Ant with light blood patterns.
This was a very rare thing. According to common sense, soul beasts of the same clan and same age had similar strength, but this soul beast was an exception.
The blood patterns on the body of this one thousand two hundred year Three-Winged Blood Pattern Ant in front of them were already bright red like blood, which showed how many soul beasts' blood it had absorbed and how many lives it had devoured...
Neither of the two knew the innate soul skill of this soul beast, but ant-type soul beasts were best at strength, a hundred times greater than their own size, and sharp perception. These two were exactly what Shen Liuyu's martial soul needed. After some discussion, Shen Liuyu still chose this soul beast.
The Three-Winged Blood Pattern Ant was not a group soul beast. For a thousand-year soul beast, even if the opponent had outstanding combat power, Shen Hanyu still easily took it down.
As a slightly red-tinged purple soul ring appeared, Shen Hanyu was a bit surprised. He felt a strong bloody aura in this soul ring, which was the reason the soul ring had a red color.
Shen Liuyu showed a playful smile to Shen Hanyu, then directly began to absorb this soul ring.
Shen Hanyu leaned against an ancient tree nearby and entered a meditative state, while Tianmeng chatted lightly with Shen Hanyu for a few sentences before silently helping to guard the surroundings. If any soul beast approached, Tianmeng would use mental power to simulate other powerful soul beasts to scare them away.
It had to be said that Tianmeng's skill was useless against powerful soul beasts, but for these relatively weak soul beasts, it was simply a divine skill.
.........
Shen Liuyu didn't take much time to absorb this soul ring, about three hours. After absorbing the soul ring, her soul power directly reached level twenty-five, just one opportunity away from breaking through to level twenty-six.
Shen Liuyu was extremely surprised by this. The soul power improvement this time saved her nearly two years of cultivation time.
The soul skill brought by the Three-Winged Blood Pattern Ant did not disappoint the two either. It was a powerful amplification soul skill. When used, strength and attack increased by one hundred and five percent at the same time. This would be a terrifying improvement at the Great Soul Master level. In battle, if the opponent was not careful, getting injured was the lightest consequence; if careless, their life could be lost.
