Back when he had been forced to attempt a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm in the East Sea, Song Qingming had made an agreement with Qu Bai in exchange for his assistance: once he successfully formed his Nascent Soul, he would help Qu Bai with one matter.
Two hundred years had flashed by, yet Qu Bai had never taken the initiative to mention it. Song Qingming had often kept it on his mind as well, wondering exactly what the other man wanted him to do.
When Qu Bai had first met Song Qingming, he had merely been a Primordial Spirit that had lost its physical body. Only with the puppet in his hand had he barely been able to display the strength of a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator.
Who would have thought that in only two short centuries, this fellow's strength would soar by leaps and bounds, to the point that he could actually refine a puppet at the Nascent Soul Late Stage level for himself to possess?
Song Qingming was equally curious. With Qu Bai's current formidable strength, what could he possibly still need Song Qingming's help with?
Hearing Song Qingming bring up their old agreement of his own accord, Qu Bai fell silent for a moment before giving him a slight nod.
"Fellow Daoist Song is correct. I returned to find you this time precisely because of the agreement between us back then.
"However, what I wish to do is still beyond your current strength. It would be best to wait until you advance to the Nascent Soul Late Stage.
"Besides that, I need to refine a high-tier Magic Treasure and require your help in gathering some high-tier materials."
