Nuwa, the goddess of immortality, said that cultivating immortality does not require spiritual energ

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past few days, there have been noticeably fewer students in the academy—especially those geniuses who are about to take the actual college entrance examination and have been chosen by the gods.

For them, the personal guidance of a deity is more valuable than classroom instruction.

As for the students who were not selected, they still arrived at school on time. Without divine guidance, they could only rely on the academy's teachers.

And... I'd like to ask Qin Le for advice.

Around noon, Qin Le had just finished giving guidance to two students on their cultivation issues and was about to go to the cafeteria for lunch when the dean hurriedly came looking for him.

"Qin Le, come to the dean's office right now." The dean looked hurried, his tone unusually urgent.

"Oh," Qin Le replied, and followed the dean to the dean's office.

Upon entering the dean's office, he saw the Jade Emperor's avatar sitting in an office chair, drinking tea. He nodded slightly upon seeing Qin Le.

After bringing Qin Le to the door, the dean tactfully withdrew and gently closed the door behind him.

"Does His Majesty wish to speak with me?" Qin Le asked calmly.

He sat down in the chair opposite the Jade Emperor and poured himself a cup of tea.

The Jade Emperor smiled and got straight to the point: "It's like this. A couple of days ago, I made a deal with the demon race. In that deal, you unwittingly played a crucial role as a bargaining chip. So I'd like to ask you—what kind of compensation do you need?"

For the past two days, the Jade Emperor had been thinking hard but couldn't come up with any compensation for Qin Le. In the end, he simply decided to let Qin Le suggest it himself.

"You... sold me out?" Qin Le raised an eyebrow.

"No, not at all." The Jade Emperor waved his hand and patiently explained, "The thing is..."

He explained in detail the function of Qin Le's humanoid enlightenment stone and its special value to the demon race.

After hearing this, Qin Le was speechless: "I have this function?"

He didn't know much about the demon race—he had never seen one, and there was no detailed introduction in textbooks, so he had no idea how attractive he was to them.

"To the demon race, your current value is... extremely high," the Jade Emperor said with certainty.

The cultivation systems of the demon race and the human race are completely different.

Humans rely on cultivation techniques, while demons are born with the ability to breathe in spiritual energy—it's as natural to them as breathing, and they don't need any cultivation techniques at all.

As for combat spells and supernatural powers?

The demon race doesn't really need them either. Ordinary spells are no match for their innate physical strength, and they also have racial talents that can rival their powerful supernatural abilities.

It was no accident that the demon race was able to dominate the world before the rise of the human race.

Given that many external things are useless to them, Qin Le, this walking enlightenment stone, becomes an extremely precious opportunity.

"But I can't think of anything I want right now..." Qin Le also had a headache.

What he lacks now is either something the Jade Emperor can't provide, or something outrageous—for example, demanding the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, which is unrealistic.

"It's alright." The Jade Emperor was quite composed. "You can go back and think about it slowly, and tell me when you've thought it through. Or, you can save this merit for now and mention it next time you achieve something."

He was in a good mood at the moment—this troublesome compensation problem was finally out of the question. Seeing Qin Le also having a headache, the Jade Emperor inexplicably felt...a little relieved.

Before Qin Le could reply, Nuwa's voice suddenly rang out in his mind:

"Take that deadly weapon from Heaven."

Qin Le was slightly taken aback, then looked at the Jade Emperor: "Your Majesty, may I ask for... that cursed weapon preserved in Heaven?"

"Yes, you can." The Jade Emperor wasn't surprised—he had clearly guessed that it was Nuwa who was giving him guidance: "But I can't give it to you yet."

"Why?" Qin Le asked curiously.

"On the one hand, your current contributions are not enough. But that's a minor matter; giving it to you in advance is fine." The Jade Emperor paused, his tone becoming serious. "The main problem is—in the mortal realm, it's not suitable to use ferocious weapons. Those things are too destructive; they're completely useless for sparring between classmates."

He had witnessed firsthand the terrifying power of the ferocious weapon—a being that even saints dared not approach for long.

"I see..." Qin Le nodded, "Then we'll do as His Majesty says, and I'll take the reward after I ascend to immortality."

He understood the Jade Emperor's meaning. The mortal realm was a relatively peaceful environment for cultivation, and even the chaotic beasts in the secret realm were carefully selected and intentionally released by the Heavenly Realm.

Usually, it's mostly about students competing and sparring with each other.

In this situation, having a deadly weapon is indeed of little use.

After finishing their business, Qin Le left the dean's office and went to the cafeteria.

As soon as he sat down, a boy carrying a tray sat down opposite him.

Chu Xiaonan. One of the geniuses with a spiritual affinity of 96%.

Surprisingly, he rejected all the gods who had chosen him—it is said that he was determined to become Erlang Shen's disciple, and would rather not have him as his personal guide.

Unfortunately, Erlang Shen did not take a liking to him.

"Qin Le," Chu Xiaonan said, getting straight to the point after sitting down, "Could you guide me in cultivating the 'Law of Heaven and Earth'?"

"The law of heaven and earth?" Qin Le asked, somewhat surprised. "When did you learn that?"

This isn't a publicly known supernatural ability; the fact that Chu Xiaonan was able to learn it clearly indicates its extraordinary nature.

Chu Xiaonan scratched his head and chuckled, "Although Erlang Zhenjun didn't accept me as his disciple, he did teach me 'The Law of Heaven and Earth'... but it's been several days, and I still have no clue what to do with it."

Seeing his expression, Qin Le smiled and said, "Alright, let's go to the cultivation room after we finish eating."

"Okay!" Chu Xiaonan nodded emphatically.

Currently in the mortal realm, there are only two people who can guide him in understanding the laws of heaven and earth: the Jade Emperor and Qin Le.

And Qin Le... truly knows how to manipulate the heavens and the earth.

As for why he would do that?

That brings us to an event that made Qin Le famous throughout the three realms.

When Qin Le was ten years old, the Celestial Venerable of Morality, in order to test his comprehension, disguised himself as an ordinary old man and passed on to him the supernatural power of "Law of Heaven and Earth".

Qin Le glanced at it and used it on the spot—although it only lasted for a short moment and was not as towering as in the legends, it only condensed a thin layer of golden light phantom outside the body.

But without a doubt, he used it.

After this incident, the name Qin Le spread throughout the Three Realms. Everyone knew that a freak had appeared in the mortal realm—a prodigy with extraordinary comprehension but utterly useless talent.

After finishing their meal, the two went to the cultivation room.

"Try it out yourself," Qin Le said, standing to the side.

"Okay." Chu Xiaonan nodded.

He then focused his mind and began to circulate his spiritual energy. But not long after, he showed a frustrated expression and stopped.

"Tell me the situation," Qin Le said calmly.

Chu Xiaonan nodded and recounted the details of her technique: the speed and amount of spiritual energy circulation, the meridians it flowed through, and the feeling of stagnation along the way...

After listening quietly, Qin Le began to point out the problems one by one, adjust the details, and explain the key points.

More than an hour later, Qin Le finally stopped: "Try again."
