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

"Do you want it?"

Having received an affirmative answer, the warm orange-red flame at Qin Le's fingertip flickered gently. He asked in a calm tone, with a normal smile on his face.

Lu Qingshuang stared at the wisp of flame, remained silent for a moment, and finally revealed a somewhat bitter smile: "I...I need to think about it."

"Okay, sure. Just let me know whenever you need anything."

Qin Le nodded understandingly, the flame at his fingertips quietly extinguished, and his attitude became natural.

He fully understood Lu Qingshuang's concerns.

Dual cultivation between cultivators does not necessarily mean physical intimacy. More often, it refers to the mutual complementation and fusion of spiritual power, cultivation techniques, and even Dao principles, jointly promoting the advancement of cultivation.

Even so, once Lu Qingshuang agrees to use this method to cultivate with the help of Qin Le's spiritual fire, it means that she will rely on Qin Le's pure yang power for a long time before she can perfect this technique.

Entrusting the key to one's cultivation path to another is an extremely difficult decision for any cultivator who seeks freedom.

Even if Qin Le is a recognized good person and a trustworthy person, it doesn't mean that Lu Qingshuang can immediately entrust such an important matter to him.

Qin Le understands and respects this caution.

"Hmm," Lu Qingshuang responded faintly, no longer continuing the topic.

In fact, Lu Qingshuang didn't care whether or not she could cultivate the exclusive technique obtained from the Source Tablet.

With Qin Le's regular lectures and guidance, even if she cultivates other techniques, she still has a chance to open the gates to immortality. A unique cultivation method is not the only option; she still has other paths to take.

Therefore, she was not in a hurry to make a decision.

If she really wanted to try it in the future, it wouldn't be too late to ask Qin Le for help—she knew that, given Qin Le's personality, he certainly wouldn't refuse.

The lotus platform continued its journey through the silent sea of ​​stars. In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

When a strange star field appeared in front of her, Lu Qingshuang finally controlled the lotus platform to slowly stop.

The space in this star field is visibly distorted, and light becomes strange and blurry when it passes through this area.

To the naked eye, apart from the twinkling starlight in the distance, the place seemed completely empty. Even divine sense would be blocked by the chaotic and fragmented spatial structure, making it difficult to explore further.

The three hundred demon classmates who had been following not far behind also stopped.

The leading tiger demon stepped forward and flew to Qin Le and Lu Qingshuang's side, its massive tiger head bearing a distinctly solemn expression.

"Qin Le, the space in this star field is too distorted, and the power it contains is extremely violent. We... I'm afraid we can't withstand it."

The demon race possessed formidable physical strength, and all three hundred of them were more powerful than Lu Qingshuang. However, they still felt a tremendous threat when facing this star field.

"It's alright." Qin Le said calmly, his expression unchanged. "Have everyone move closer together."

As soon as he finished speaking, without even the tiger demon needing to say anything, the three hundred demons quickly and tacitly surrounded Qin Le, Lu Qingshuang, and their lotus platforms in the center.

Qin Le raised his hand and waved it gently.

In an instant, an invisible spatial fluctuation rippled outwards from him, precisely covering everyone and every demon present, including the lotus platform beneath their feet.

A thin yet resilient, almost imperceptible spacetime barrier, like the most intimate armor, isolates everyone from the raging spatial forces outside.

"Okay, let's go." Qin Le gestured to Lu Qingshuang.

Lu Qingshuang nodded, no longer hesitating, and activated the lotus platform, transforming into a stream of light as she cautiously entered the distorted star field. Three hundred demons followed closely behind.

Upon entering, the scene before one's eyes suddenly changed. The surrounding space was no longer stable, but rather like glass that was constantly being shattered and reassembled, with fragmented spatial cracks appearing and disappearing, only to be rapidly mended by some force.

The chilling, yet corrosive, power of Yin permeated every inch of space, impacting the spacetime barrier set up by Qin Le, emitting a faint hissing sound, but ultimately unable to penetrate it.

After sailing for about half a day in such harsh conditions, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

A pure white star floated silently in the void.

Its diameter is only a thousand miles, far smaller than that of any habitable planet, yet it exudes a pure and powerful yin energy; it is none other than the mortal yin star.

The lotus platform slowly descended onto the pure white, cool-to-the-touch ground.

The tiger demon shook its head, looking around in surprise: "Strange, at the source of the Taiyin Star, nothing seems to have happened? Where is that power that could distort and tear space apart?"

The surrounding demon classmates, along with Qin Le and Lu Qingshuang, all looked surprised.

Indeed, standing on the surface of this Taiyin Star, although the Taiyin power was extremely rich and pure, it was exceptionally peaceful and stable, completely different from the violent scene outside.

"That's fine too." Qin Le smiled and looked around. "It saves us a lot of trouble."

Lu Qingshuang and her demon classmates nodded in agreement. If they had to face the raging Yin energy on the outer perimeter while they were here, their movements would be severely restricted.

Qin Le turned to Lu Qingshuang and asked, "Are you planning to cultivate right here?"

Lu Qingshuang only said she was coming to Taiyin Star, but Qin Le wasn't quite sure what she was going to do.

Lu Qingshuang shook her head, her purple eyes gazing into the depths of the stars: "No, I came here to find the 'Taiyin Star Core'."

"The Taiyin Star Core?" Qin Le understood and smiled, "Then I'll help you find it."

Even in the celestial realm, where treasures abound, the Taiyin Star Core is considered a high-end material.

However, its price is not outrageous, simply because its production is relatively abundant—the vast and boundless Taiyin Star in the celestial realm produces a considerable number of star cores every year.

However, materials of this caliber are difficult for most weapon refiners in the mortal realm to process, so they rarely circulate in the mortal realm.

This is why Lu Qingshuang went to great lengths to travel across distant star systems to collect the materials herself. Rather than waiting for the fairy Chang'e to send them down from the heavens in half a month, it was much faster to do it herself.

"Okay." Lu Qingshuang didn't refuse, pointing in one direction: "I'll go explore this way."

"Then I'll go in the opposite direction," Qin Le said.

After agreeing on a meeting time, the two went their separate ways in the directions they had chosen.

The three hundred demon students naturally followed Qin Le. After Qin Le described the appearance of the Taiyin Star Core, they very consciously dispersed to help with the search.

After walking for only a few minutes, a wolf demon with gray hair and a body that seemed to be draped in a hazy moonlight ran back.

He carefully held a fist-sized, irregularly shaped, transparent crystal with faint wisps of silvery-white light flowing inside with his front paws and handed it to Qin Le.

"Qin Le, take a look, is this it?" the wolf demon asked, his tone somewhat uncertain.

Qin Le took the crystal; it was cool to the touch, and the pure Yin energy contained within it was clearly perceptible.

He nodded and smiled, "That's right, that's it. Thank you."

"It's nothing."

Seeing that it had found the right one, the wolf demon happily flicked its tail, turned around and ran away to continue its search.

Qin Le also released his divine sense to investigate carefully.

However, he soon discovered that his divine sense was greatly suppressed on the surface of the Taiyin Star. With his current strength, his perception range was compressed to less than twenty miles in radius.

I wonder if Lu Qingshuang and those demon classmates with stronger physical bodies and sensory abilities are in a better situation.

The appointed time arrived, and Qin Le led his demon classmates back to the initial landing point. Not long after, Lu Qingshuang appeared from another direction.

"How was the harvest?" Qin Le asked with a smile.

Lu Qingshuang's face showed a hint of helplessness: "Not many, only about twenty pieces were found."

Although the nucleus of the moon exists, it is not readily available and is quite difficult to find.

Qin Le smiled and took out a storage bag: "I have more here, a total of one hundred and thirty-six coins. Is that enough?"

"One hundred and thirty-six yuan?!" Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshuang's usually cold face showed obvious surprise: "How could there be so many?"

She thought that Qin Le would be lucky to get thirty or forty yuan.

Qin Le pointed to the various demon classmates beside him: "Thanks to their help, they are much better at finding things than we are."

Lu Qingshuang turned her gaze to the demons who were waiting quietly, her purple eyes revealing sincere gratitude.

She nodded slightly to them and said earnestly, "Thank you all for your help."

The demon students waved their claws, wings, or heads to indicate that they didn't need to be polite.

For them, being able to help Qin Le was something to be happy about.
