Zixie Qing gritted her teeth and said angrily, "That's right, but the premise is that you have to be stronger than me! However, little Chu Yang, this wish of yours will probably become your lifelong dream. What's the point of agreeing to you?"
Chu Yang chuckled, "It's a deal!"
Zixie Qing gritted her teeth, "But... if you can't surpass me, every time I see you, I'll hit you once!"
Chu Yang shrugged, "Go ahead, it's not like I've only been hit by you once or twice..."
Zixie Qing huffed, "Chu Yang, what you said to me tonight is considered an offense of lewdness! I don't want to hear it again!"
Chu Yang replied nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I won't say it again! I'll wait until I'm stronger than you!"
Zixie Qing snorted lightly.
"A deal is a deal!"
"Don't go back on your word!"
With a clap, they struck their palms together.
Chu Yang's eyes were filled with challenge, while Zixie Qing's gaze was full of arrogance and disdain.
But both sides knew this wasn't their true feelings.
"I have something else to give you." Chu Yang took out a piece of Heavenly Repair Jade from the nine calamity space and said, "This is Heavenly Repair Jade. Even now, I still don't know how to use it effectively, so... take it and help me explore its uses when you have time."
Zixie Qing pretended to be proud, but nearly broke character, gritting her teeth before accepting it with a smile, "Alright, I'll help you with this!"
"Also, this is a large bucket of Spirit Spring water. Take it and see if there will be an opportunity in the future to convert the Spirit Spring water into the Spring of Life." Chu Yang pulled out a big bucket.
It was the Amethyst bucket he used to bathe Chu Le'er, which he and the Sword Spirit had transformed into a sealed space filled with Spirit Spring water. It must have been hundreds of pounds!
"Alright, I'll help you this once." Zixie Qing smiled, feeling her eyes a bit sore.
She hurriedly circulated her energy to maintain a calm demeanor.
But her breathing rate still faltered for a moment.
"Besides that, there's really nothing else... Oh right!" Chu Yang took out a Mysterious Ice Jade Heart, a Mysterious Sun Jade Heart, and a Heavenly Poison Jade Heart. He handed them to Zixie Qing, "As you roam around, help me analyze what these things are made of when you have the chance."
Zixie Qing chuckled but choked in her throat; she turned her face away and didn't say anything, storing the three pieces of jade into her storage space. She then softly said, "I can't help you any more than this. You’re going to wear me out."
Chu Yang laughed, "Actually, apart from these few things, I really don't need your help anymore." Suddenly, he slapped his thigh, "Oh right! There is really one more thing I need you to help me analyze."
Zixie Qing asked, "Hmm?"
Chu Yang reached into his chest pocket and seemed to pull out a piece of Amethyst. Covering it with his hand, it faintly radiated purple light, and he said with confusion, "Look, this thing is so strange. What exactly is it?"
Zixie Qing reached out to take it, saying, "What? Is it Amethyst?"
Suddenly, her body shook.
Chu Yang's hand, covering a completely solidified primordial purple qi, pressed it into Zixie Qing's hand.
As soon as the primordial purple qi reached Zixie Qing's hand, the life-source power she had cultivated for so long suddenly awakened. It almost instantly devoured the purple qi at lightning speed!
It entered her meridians, circulated around, and transformed into the purest life-source, disappearing without a trace...
Zixie Qing widened her eyes in shock, "Primordial purple qi?!"
Chu Yang scratched his head, looking puzzled, "Is this really primordial purple qi? What is primordial purple qi?"
Zixie Qing was both angry and anxious: "You... this is the source power of heaven and earth! You... you actually gave me such a large chunk of solidified qi? You're the one who needs it the most!"
Chu Yang winked mysteriously and laughed, "I have plenty. The Sword Spirit told me that you only need this much. If not, I could have given you more."
