Only the overseer of the Amethyst mine, the third-tier supreme Li Qingliu, had nowhere to escape, nowhere to hide. He followed Master Zi with a stiff upper lip, enduring the incessant curses and complaints.
"That bunch of idiots hasn’t come back to cause trouble, have they?" Master Zi's question left Li Qingliu utterly speechless.
"I estimate they won't. If they come back like that again, Li Wubo might as well jump into a cesspit and drown..." This statement was even harder to respond to.
Li Qingliu could only force a smile.
Master Zi muttered to himself as he walked inside, and Li Qingliu followed behind with a bitter smile. As they were about to reach their destination, Master Zi suddenly turned around, "Are you too idle?"
"Uh? No..." Li Qingliu was puzzled.
"Then what are you following me for?" Master Zi shouted angrily, "Go do your work!"
Li Qingliu hurriedly retreated in panic.
Who would want to follow you... But if you don’t tell me to leave, do I dare to leave?
Li Qingliu genuinely felt how true a saying was. After walking quite a distance, he couldn't help but sigh: This is truly... being with the emperor is like being with a tiger...
Master Zi once again sat in the most comfortable position: under a mink coat, surrounded by tall Amethyst.
Then, with a dissatisfied expression, he reached out, and the radiant purple qi adhered to the gap that had returned to the size of a teacup...
Time to get to work!
The Sword Spirit emerged immediately, darting in like lightning.
In the nine calamity space, a torrential rain began to pour.
Before long, the excited voice of the Sword Spirit rang out: "Sword Master Lord! The Amethyst Soul! The Amethyst Soul has appeared!"
Chu Yang's body trembled, and the purple qi around him nearly dissipated. He quickly stabilized himself, his consciousness entering the treasure with the guidance of the Sword Spirit!
Enveloped in a sea of glimmering Amethyst Core, chunks of Amethyst jade marrow came into view; but in the very center of the jade marrow, a haze of purple qi emerged.
It seemed to materialize, rising and falling.
"Take it out and have a look!" Chu Yang urged eagerly.
"Okay." The Sword Spirit swiftly collected the surrounding Amethyst Cores and Amethyst jade marrows, gathering thousands of them at once, finally revealing the true face of the so-called Amethyst Soul.
What appeared was a piece of Amethyst, glowing with radiant purple qi, quietly presenting itself.
Other Amethyst, even Amethyst jade marrow, merely emitted a purple hue, but this one continuously emitted purple qi smoke, swirling upwards.
In an instant, it became hazy.
And all the Amethyst enveloped by this aura seemed to darken gradually...
"So it turns out the Amethyst Soul can enhance the quality of Amethyst!" Chu Yang realized.
"Yes, every large Amethyst mine on Heaven's Gate must have an Amethyst Soul that nourishes it slowly; even if that Amethyst Soul is dug out, it won’t be taken away, as it would harm the root..." the Sword Spirit explained.
"I see." Chu Yang's eyes sparkled: "So how much cultivation level can an Amethyst Soul increase?"
"The Amethyst Soul only provides the purest heaven and earth vital energy, while transforming that energy into cultivation level is up to the individual... how can you say it like that?" The Sword Spirit was somewhat dissatisfied but continued to explain: "It continuously provides you with spiritual energy, regardless of place... No one would dare to fully absorb an Amethyst Soul; therefore, I also don’t know how much cultivation level an Amethyst Soul of this size can provide."
"Mm." Chu Yang nodded and directly issued his highest command: "Collect! Collect them all!"
The Sword Spirit grinned and immediately began to gather in earnest.
Chu Yang's consciousness withdrew contentedly. This kind of rough work, as the sword master lord, was not something I do. I just need to wait in the nine calamity space...
Chu Imperial Seat's consciousness immersed into the nine calamity space, moved a purple chair over, and sat down with his legs crossed, watching the torrential rain falling from the sky.
