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

Time flies, and the first semester of sophomore year is quietly coming to an end, with the holidays arriving as scheduled.

On the first day of the holiday, Qin Le slept in late, a rare occurrence, and didn't get out of bed until the sun was high in the sky before slowly getting up to wash up.

I went downstairs to the living room, and as expected, there was no one there. I knew without a doubt that my mother was back in the alchemy room again.

He ate something simple for breakfast, then took out his phone and asked in the group chat if anyone was free to hang out.

Unfortunately, on the first day of the holiday, those people seemed to have their own plans, and no one responded for the time being. Qin Le didn't mind, so he simply sprawled on the sofa and started scrolling through his phone out of boredom.

A little over an hour later, the door to the alchemy room creaked open, and Lin Wanrou emerged, carrying a faint scent of medicine. Her eyes lit up when she saw her son sprawled idly on the sofa.

"Son! Run an errand for your mom!" Lin Wanrou walked over in a few steps and said with a smile.

"What do you want to buy?" Qin Le looked up and asked casually.

"I'm not buying anything." Lin Wanrou shook her head, took out a small jade bottle from her storage ring, and handed it over: "Please deliver this to your second uncle's house for me."

"Jelly Pills?" Qin Le took the jade bottle, and after reading the label, his expression became more serious: "What happened at my second uncle's house?"

Jelly Pill is one of Lin Wanrou's scientific research achievements. As the name suggests, after taking it, the body can become like jelly in a short period of time.

But it also has another, more well-known name – Rebirth Pill.

As long as the injured person still has a breath left and their soul has not dissipated, even if most of their body is gone, this elixir can forcibly reconstruct their physical body, with extremely powerful healing effects.

"Your cousin went to the secret realm to 'sharpen' again." Lin Wanrou sighed helplessly. "He messed up and got half his body destroyed by a Chaos Beast. Don't worry, he won't die, he's just a bit stupid."

Upon hearing this, Qin Le couldn't help but laugh. His cousin was quite talented and strong, but he was too reckless and always carried a ruthless streak when cultivating and fighting.

"Alright, I'll make the trip then." Qin Le put away the jade bottle and stood up.

"Go quickly and come back quickly."

Lin Wanrou waved her hand, turned around and went back into the alchemy room to continue her great research.

Qin Le stepped out of his house, and with a slight thought, he teleported from the capital to the Jiangnan region. He teleported again, and found himself outside the gate of an elegant courtyard—his second uncle's house.

He rang the doorbell. Soon, the gate opened, and a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and with a refined and scholarly demeanor came out. He was Qin Le's second uncle.

When he saw Qin Le, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he casually opened a temporary entrance to the defensive formation for Qin Le.

"Xiao Le is here, come in quickly."

"Second Uncle," Qin Le greeted with a smile, then followed him inside. "How's my cousin?"

"So, he's still alive." Second Uncle said casually, seemingly not too worried: "Men, as long as they're not dead, it's normal to get injured while out and about."

As they talked, the two went inside and entered a bedroom.

Lying on the bed was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties. Although he was completely naked from the waist down, his complexion was rosy and he seemed to be in good spirits. He even grinned when he saw Qin Le.

"Hey, Little Lezi's here!"

"Cousin," Qin Le tossed the small jade bottle over, "what are you up to now? How did you get yourself into this state?"

My cousin took the jade bottle, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face. He chuckled dryly, "Ahem...it's nothing, just...a little accident happened."

As he spoke, he uncorked the bottle and poured the crystal-clear, jelly-like pill into his mouth.

As soon as the pill entered his stomach, a gentle yet powerful life force instantly spread throughout his body.

His body became translucent and liquid-like at a visible speed, while his missing lower body began to grow rapidly from the cut at his waist and abdomen.

My cousin quickly pulled the blanket next to him over himself.

At this moment, the second uncle, standing beside him, mercilessly exposed him: "A minor accident? You messed up your monster-gathering strategy and got cornered and ganged up on by hundreds of Chaos Beasts at the Refinement and Integration levels. You call that a minor accident? You're just brainless!"

"Dad! Can't you give me some face?!" my cousin cried out in grief and indignation.

"Face? Do you even have that?" Second Uncle pushed up his glasses, his tone calm but every word piercing.

Qin Le watched from the sidelines, thoroughly amused. He was all too familiar with this scene.

My second uncle usually appears as a gentle and refined scholar, but if any family member, especially my cousin, does something foolish, his sharp tongue will instantly become incredibly venomous. He'll target their sore spots, making sure they remember it so they'll never do it again.

He wasn't worried about his son getting hurt, but he couldn't stand his son doing something stupid.

After a lively lunch at his second uncle's house, Qin Le prepared to say goodbye and go home. Just as he stepped out of the courtyard gate, his phone vibrated; it was a message from the lunch buddy group.

Chen Yun: @Qin Le, come to my house right now! It's a matter of life and death!!

Several emojis of vomiting blood and collapsing were followed by this.

Qin Le found it a little strange, but still replied immediately.

Qin Le: I'll be there soon.

He activated the spatial teleportation technique again, instantly returning to the capital and landing in front of Chen Yun's detached house.

Before even ringing the doorbell, Qin Le could vaguely hear screams like ghosts howling from inside, even through the defensive array in the courtyard.

"Cousin! Stop hitting me! I was wrong!"

"Ouch! My butt! It's going to split!"

"Help—!"

"..."

Qin Le: "..."

His lips twitched, and he reached out to ring the doorbell.

The doorbell rang, and the screams inside abruptly stopped. A moment later, the courtyard gate opened, revealing an entrance to the defensive formation.

The girl who opened the door looked very pure and quiet, with long hair and curved eyebrows. When she saw Qin Le, she gave him a polite and gentle smile.

It was Chen Yun's cousin, Situ Yurou.

"Qin Le? You've come to see Xiao Yun?" Situ Yuru asked softly.

"Yes, Sister Yu Rou, I need to talk to Chen Yun about something." Qin Le nodded, maintaining a polite smile.

"Oh, okay? Then come in." Situ Yuru stepped aside and pointed towards the courtyard: "He's over there... lying in the sun."

Qin Le: "..."

Sunbathing? Were you really beaten so badly you can't get up?

He silently complained in his heart, but remained outwardly calm: "Okay, thank you, Sister Yu Rou."

Situ Yuru didn't say anything more, turned around and gracefully went back into the house, as if the faint screams from just now had nothing to do with her.

Qin Le walked into the courtyard and immediately saw Chen Yun.

He was lying sprawled on the grass in the middle of the yard, his face bruised and battered, his hair a mess like a chicken coop, and his clothes covered in bits of grass. He stared at the sky with a lifeless look on his face, like a salted fish that had lost all its dreams.

Seeing his good brother's face like this, Qin Le tried hard to remain serious, but the corners of his mouth still involuntarily turned up, and he quickly coughed to cover it up.

"Ahem...you've been 'cared for' by your cousin again?" Qin Le walked over to Chen Yun, squatted down, and asked, suppressing a laugh.

Chen Yun struggled to move his eyes, glanced at Qin Le, and said in a voice filled with grief and despair, "She... finished her seclusion and said she was itching to 'spar' with me..."

"Tsk tsk, that's really pathetic." Qin Le shook his head, but finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Chen Yun was a well-known figure in the family, serving as the chief human punching bag.

There was no way around it; whether on his father's or mother's side, he was the only male in his generation, so he was the apple of everyone's eye—specifically, the kind of person who was doted on by all his older cousins.

The purpose was ostensibly to help him hone his combat skills and increase his resilience.

Chen Yun is actually more capable than most of the older sisters, but does he dare to get serious?

dare not.

If he really hurts one of the older sisters, he'll be the one getting a double beating and a scolding from the whole family.

As for Situ Yuru, this cousin?

That's an exception.

If Chen Yun doesn't use his precious mecha, he really can't win.

Even with the mecha in hand... he still didn't dare to fight.
