Chu Yang arrived at the Orchid Fragrance Garden with ease.
As soon as he entered, he felt something was off; it was too quiet.
He initially thought Zixie Qing had taken Le'er out to play again, but upon opening the door, he found Le'er completely submerged in a large wooden basin, with Zixie Qing standing outside the basin, one hand pressing down on Le'er's head, seemingly exerting some kind of force...
"What is going on?" Chu Yang scratched his head.
"Ah! Big Brother, don't look!" Le'er was in the basin without any clothes on her upper body, and when she saw Chu Yang enter, she immediately became shy.
Chu Yang rolled his eyes and said, "What a sensitive little girl, asking me not to look... Even if I do, what can I see? Just a couple of ribs, right..."
Indeed, due to her long-standing illness and her young age, Le'er had not yet developed any female characteristics.
There were not even any signs of them; no wonder Chu Yang looked down on it.
Otherwise, Chu Yang probably would have left long before Le'er even said anything. Besides, Zixie Qing would never allow him to enter.
"Big Brother, you're so bad!" Le'er said, feeling aggrieved. "I'm not grown up yet!"
"Well, when you grow up, I really won't be able to look," Chu Yang nodded seriously.
"Hahaha..." Even Zixie Qing, with her exceptional self-control, couldn't help but laugh at these words, while she ceased her efforts.
Le'er jumped out with a thud and wrapped herself in a bed sheet, continuously mumbling her dissatisfaction, "Bad Big Brother! Bad person! So bad..."
Chu Yang and Zixie Qing burst into laughter.
After laughing for a while, Chu Yang finally asked, "What's going on?"
"It’s a matter of Le'er’s physique. I’ve already opened her meridians in advance and transformed her physical constitution. Now, once Le'er's ailment is gone, she will immediately become an innate body," Zixie Qing casually explained. "It’s nothing. I really like Le'er."
Chu Yang took a deep breath.
Nothing?
You say it so lightly, but it nearly knocked the breath out of me!
To completely change the physical constitution of a person, especially a girl with innate illness, and directly elevate her to the level of an innate body that martial artists dream of…
This is almost like being reborn, soaring straight to the skies!
You have to understand, some martial artists work their entire lives and may never reach the innate level; not to mention that her entire body with both meridians and blood vessels is now of innate quality.
And for someone who has never trained before to have an innate body is an utterly heavenly matter!
This is like a piece of pure jade! Once she starts cultivating, she will begin from the innate level.
Le'er only felt much lighter in her body and had no idea how great the benefits she had received were, but Chu Yang understood very well.
"I won't say anything more about gratitude," Chu Yang gazed deeply at Zixie Qing and slowly said.
Such a great favor cannot be expressed with just a 'thank you'!
Zixie Qing smiled faintly and said, "There's nothing to thank. It was just a simple task."
Chu Yang chuckled. Zixie Qing said it was a simple task, but how could he believe that so naively? Just looking at the light sweat starting to form on her forehead told him that it hadn’t been easy for her.
Transforming a newborn infant into an innate body, for a powerful being like Zixie Qing, might not be too laborious; however, turning a twelve-year-old girl, who had never trained and carried innate illnesses, into an innate body was nearly impossible!
"By the way, I went out this morning and managed to gather quite a bit of spiritual medicine, along with sixty to seventy thousand Amethyst. It should be enough for us to splurge for a while."
Chu Yang suggested, "How about we have another match?"
Perhaps the only way he could repay her was to help her absorb enough dao realm power to fulfill her ultimate dream...
Zixie Qing's eyes flashed, and she said tiredly, "I'm a bit tired today. Let's do it another day."
She fell into silence.
