"Qing Ge!" Zi Han's eyes lit up when she saw the visitor, and she said.
"You just leaked a bit of aura, even making me feel threatened. Your seclusion must have yielded great results this time, right?"
The Chaos Qi had transformed Zi Han thoroughly, and the aura inadvertently released was enough to alarm Qing Ge.
"I gained a little," Zi Han replied with a mysterious smile.
"Oh?" Qing Ge raised an eyebrow, truly surprised. "What kind of adventure did you have that allowed for such rapid progress?"
Although Qing Ge and Zi Han were friends, there was always a competition between them, and neither would easily concede to the other.
However, Qing Ge had always been more dominant than Zi Han, no matter how hard the latter tried to catch up.
Moreover, Qing Ge clearly knew that Zi Han's potential had been exhausted, and without an extraordinary encounter, it would be impossible for her to catch up.
However, Zi Han's combat power soared after this seclusion, even making Qing Ge feel threatened... This was too irrational!
Zi Han's mysterious demeanor raised suspicions in Qing Ge's mind, suspecting that she had some kind of adventure.
Yet, as they were always together, Qing Ge believed she should have known if Zi Han had such an experience.
"There was no adventure," Zi Han said. "It's just that my mental state broke through, resulting in increased combat power."
"A breakthrough in mental state?" Qing Ge asked in surprise. "We're only one step away from the Heavenly Tao, and the most important thing is the mental state. Your mental state actually broke through!"
"It was just some insights, nothing more. The Heavenly Tao Realm is still very far away," Zi Han said with a faint smile.
At their level, the mental state was more important than anything.
After fusing with Chaos Qi, Zi Han ignited an invincible spirit within her heart, causing her mental state to elevate!
However, this kind of progress was very limited, still far from reaching the Heavenly Tao.
But Qing Ge, who had always been ahead, was now being caught up to, and possibly even surpassed... This feeling was hard to adjust to.
"How did you manage it?" Qing Ge asked.
Zi Han's sudden progress surely concealed some secret; it couldn't have been a random advancement.
"It's indescribable, you wouldn't understand even if I tried to explain," Zi Han replied.
"..." Qing Ge realized she had lost her composure.
"I've made great progress during this seclusion, with a significant leap in combat power. I now have a better chance of obtaining the Immortal Elixir!" Zi Han said.
Although Zi Han had fused with Chaos Qi, she was not invincible. Only by obtaining that Immortal Elixir would she truly rise, becoming invincible and immortal.
"Zi Han, are you aware that Ye Chen likes you?"
Yet, Qing Ge deviated from discussing the Immortal Elixir and brought up Ye Chen instead.
"What are you talking about!" Zi Han's expression froze.
Qing Ge's words were too direct, stating that Ye Chen liked her... Of course, Zi Han was aware; Ye Chen had confessed, how could she not know?
But, this was between her and Ye Chen, why should she tell Qing Ge? Moreover, everyone else being oblivious to it, how did Qing Ge find out?
"Zi Han, stop pretending. I know all about you and Ye Chen." Qing Ge said.
"..." Zi Han didn't want to engage with Qing Ge anymore; since you already know, why are you still asking... aren't you embarrassed?
"Ye Chen is bold beyond belief, daring to have such thoughts about you; it's absolutely unforgivable." Qing Ge said.
"What have you done to him?" Zi Han's face changed upon hearing this.
"I'm just saying it, why are you so worried?" Qing Ge laughed.
"... "
Zi Han had known Qing Ge for too long, and she was too familiar with her personality.
Back when Qing Ge single-handedly founded Baihua Palace, Zi Han knew she disliked men!
Ye Chen was so handsome, so talented, and liked her but not Qing Ge, the outcome was predictable.
"Hahaha, look at you, at a loss for words!" Qing Ge laughed brightly. "Don't worry, I won't do anything to your little love!"
"..."
"What are you and Ye Chen doing... how do you know?" Zi Han asked, knitting her eyebrows.
"Of course, he told me." Qing Ge said. "Ye Chen truly likes you, but he's afraid that you won't accept or might even reject him, so he came to me to act as a go-between."
"And you just agreed to help us?" Zi Han asked suspiciously.
Zi Han knew well what kind of character Qing Ge was; she would never play matchmaker for anyone!
So, in Zi Han's eyes, Qing Ge's behavior at the time was very strange!
"Help matchmake you two?" Qing Ge chuckled. "Am I that idle, matchmaking you two for nothing?"
"..."
"Besides, I've always disliked men. You're my best friend, how could I push you into the fire pit?" Qing Ge said.
"..."
"Zi Han, what kind of encounter did you have that allowed you to make such remarkable progress in a short time?" Qing Ge returned to her initial question, eager to learn Zi Han's secret.
Zi Han's combat power was no match for hers, and even her potential was exhausted, making it hard to catch up in a lifetime.
Yet, in just half a month, Zi Han had made progress, caught up with her pace, and even possibly surpassed her... Qing Ge couldn't endure it and wanted to understand the reason.
"I've told you why I broke through, but if you don't believe me, I can't help it."
The reason for Zi Han's progress was all due to Chaos Qi. However, it was her and Ye Chen's secret, not something to be shared with a third person.
Furthermore, Ye Chen's confession was one thing, but revealing it to Qing Ge almost put her in a tough spot... Zi Han was a bit angry and decided to teach Ye Chen a lesson, so dare he dally around again?!
"The Immortal Elixir is about to mature, we need to improve our strength so we can repel strong enemies and seize the elixir!" Qing Ge said earnestly.
"Do you think I wouldn't want to share my fortune with you?" Zi Han said in a deep voice.
"No." Qing Ge replied.
"No" was fake!
Zi Han and Qing Ge had known each other for a long time, very familiar with each other.
Qing Ge's meaning was immediately clear to Zi Han.
"You've had a breakthrough in your mental state and made a leap in combat power. If you could acquire a Secret Technique, wouldn't that be the cherry on top?" Qing Ge said.
"What do you mean?" Zi Han asked.
"I want to teach you a Divine Skill to help you sweep through all enemies and seize the Immortal Elixir!" Qing Ge said.
"Teach me a Divine Skill?" Zi Han asked in surprise. "I know your Divine Skills, none are useful to me."
"No, I have a hidden Divine Skill. Once unleashed, it can destroy the heavens and earth, making one invincible!" Qing Ge said. "Moreover, this Divine Skill will cause a transformation; I have always kept ahead of you because of this Divine Skill!"
"What?"
Zi Han never knew that Qing Ge had such a deeply hidden Divine Skill.
But if it was the strongest Divine Skill, why would she want to teach it to her?
"At our level of cultivation, all Divine Skills are useless!" Qing Ge sighed. "Instead of keeping it to myself, I'd rather share it with you, making you stronger. If we seize the Immortal Elixir this time, then it's worth everything; I've already gone all in!"
"But, the Immortal Elixir is only one; even if we seize it, who will refine it?" Qing Ge's words affected Zi Han, but there was only one Immortal Elixir, yet there were two of them!
"We'll split it in half!" Qing Ge said. "Splitting the Immortal Elixir will only affect its efficacy, but won't affect the laws and mysteries."
"Alright!" Zi Han said. "Since you are so selfless, I can't be stingy either; you have a hidden Divine Skill, I also have a trump card technique, let's exchange Divine Skills!"
Qing Ge's sincerity moved Zi Han, prompting her to exchange her strongest Divine Skill with Qing Ge.
"Alright." Zi Han's lips curled into a sly smile, indicating a plan successfully carried out.
