After lunch, Qin Le was aimlessly strolling around the college to digest his food when his phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID—Dad.

Answering the phone, Qin Le asked, a little puzzled, "Dad, what's up?"

"His Majesty requests your presence at the Alliance," Qin Shoudao said bluntly.

"Okay, I'll be right there." Qin Le replied and hung up the phone.

He wondered what the Jade Emperor wanted to talk to him about.

It shouldn't be an emergency, otherwise Dad wouldn't have sounded so calm.

In a flash, the figure appeared at the entrance of the Alliance headquarters building. He walked confidently to the Jade Emperor's office, bowed, and took his seat.

"Your Majesty, did you summon me for something?" Qin Le asked.

The Jade Emperor smiled and waved his hand across the gleaming desk. A faint light flashed, and four antique-style storage bags, seemingly quite large in capacity, appeared side by side on the desk.

"Take these storage bags and give them to Chen Yun, Luo Qiuyue, Lu Qingshuang, and Chu Xiaonan respectively," the Jade Emperor said, pointing to the bags on the table.

Qin Le looked at the four bags, even more puzzled: "Your Majesty, what's inside these...?"

Why did the Jade Emperor suddenly decide to send gifts to those individuals?

If it were given to Chen Yun alone, he could understand—Chen Yun's research on the weapons of truth and those semi-magical treasures had made a significant contribution to the war in the Heavenly Realm, so it was reasonable for him to receive a reward.

However, Luo Qiuyue, Lu Qingshuang, and Chu Xiaonan have not yet made any outstanding contributions, and Li Yanran and Wang Zhiheng are not among them, which makes him a little confused.

Seeing Qin Le's puzzled expression, the Jade Emperor smiled and explained, "Don't misunderstand, this isn't my intention, nor is it a reward from the Heavenly Court. It was given privately by those who 'chosen' them. These are materials they can use to refine their natal magic weapons."

"I see!" Qin Le suddenly realized.

That makes sense!

It's like several divine masters giving private lessons to the young people they've chosen.

"Then this from Chu Xiaonan... was given by Erlang Zhenjun?" Qin Le quickly realized.

Of the four, only Chu Xiaonan did not have a divine soul residing in his body, but he received the Heavenly Manifestation Technique personally taught by Erlang Shen.

Who else but the Manifestation Saint True Lord would remember him and have the qualifications and strength to prepare such a grand gift for him?

The Jade Emperor nodded with a smile: "Indeed. Erlang has been keeping an eye on him."

"This is quite a surprise for Xiao Nan." Qin Le smiled as well, and one could feel the recognition and expectation that transcended the two worlds.

"Then I'll trouble you to make the trip." The Jade Emperor gestured for him to go.

"Of course, Your Majesty. I shall take my leave now." Qin Le stood up, put away the four storage bags, bowed, and left the office.

As he approached the entrance to the Alliance, a thought flashed through his mind, and he found himself back in the familiar academy.

He approached Chu Xiaonan first. The two left the classroom and found a quiet bench to sit down.

"Qin Le, what's going on? You're being so mysterious," Chu Xiaonan asked curiously.

Qin Le only said that she needed to talk to him, but didn't specify what it was.

Qin Le smiled and handed one of the storage bags to him: "Here, this is what Erlang Zhenjun asked someone to bring to you."

Before arriving, Qin Le had already scanned the contents of several bags with his divine sense to avoid delivering them to the wrong place—there were no names attached to the bags.

"Erlang Zhenjun... gave it to me?!" Chu Xiaonan was stunned for a moment, her eyes wide open, as if she couldn't believe her ears.

"Weren't you preparing to refine your natal magic weapon? The True Lord has prepared some materials for you." Qin Le's tone was relaxed, as if he were talking about something very ordinary.

"This...this..."

Chu Xiaonan held the storage bag, his fingers trembling slightly. He was speechless with immense joy.

Erlang Shen saved the mother and child and taught them the art of celestial transformation. He felt he could never repay this kindness and never expected to receive more.

Now, this high and mighty war god is actually still thinking about his crafting of his natal magic weapon, and has specially sent him materials...

This stirred within him a mixture of indescribable excitement and apprehension.

The power of a natal magic weapon is not only closely related to the owner's own cultivation level and understanding of the laws, but also to the materials used in its forging, which directly determine the magic weapon's potential and upper limit.

Chu Xiaonan was originally worried about where to find top-quality materials that also fit his Mountain Law.

He even considered whether he should shamelessly ask Qin Le for help... After all, he didn't want to fall behind his friends.

"Take a look at it, it suits you quite well," Qin Le encouraged.

"well!"

Chu Xiaonan took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and carefully opened the storage bag to take out the contents.

It was a fist-sized stone, its entire surface a warm, earthy yellow...?

It looked unremarkable, and its surface was even a bit rough, but as soon as Chu Xiaonan touched it, he felt his arm suddenly become heavy!

Caught off guard, the stone slipped from his grasp and plummeted downwards!

"Holy crap!" Chu Xiaonan exclaimed.

Just as the stone was about to hit the ground, a flash of silver light appeared in Qin Le's eyes, and an invisible spatial force instantly enveloped it, catching it.

"Good heavens..." Qin Le was also taken aback: "Are you trying to smash a hole in our academy, no, in this very planet?"

Chu Xiaonan stared in shock at the yellow stone levitating with spatial power, her face filled with lingering fear: "Qin Le, what... what exactly is this thing?"

This thing was clearly beyond his comprehension.

Qin Le laughed and said, "This is a piece of broken stone from Buzhou Mountain."

"Bu... Buzhou Mountain?!" Chu Xiaonan's voice suddenly rose, almost cracking.

As a cultivator, he certainly knew what Mount Buzhou meant in mythology—it was the legendary pillar of heaven!

Even if it's just a piece of broken stone, it's definitely one of the world's top-grade and heaviest materials for refining weapons!

Erlang Shen actually gave him this kind of thing?

"Don't get too excited." Qin Le smiled and manipulated spatial power to help Chu Xiaonan put this heavy sentiment back into her storage bag: "The True Lord has high hopes for you, so make good use of it. In the future, don't let him down."

Chu Xiaonan gripped the storage bag tightly, nodded heavily, and her eyes became incredibly determined: "I understand! I will definitely become stronger!"

This gift brings not only an opportunity, but also a heavy responsibility. He may not be strong enough now to dominate the celestial battlefield, but in the future, he must shoulder his mission.

"Alright, then you go back first and use your own laws to nurture it properly, preparing for the refining. I still have to deliver things to a few other guys." Qin Le stood up.

"Yes! Thank you, Qin Le!" Chu Xiaonan also stood up, her face radiant like never before.

After the two parted ways, Qin Le went to Chen Yun's weapon-refining workshop, which was always making a clanging noise.

Nezha prepared the most materials for Chen Yun, filling almost half a storage bag.

There was no other way; Chen Yun was determined to create an all-powerful magic weapon that could transform and be disassembled and reassembled.

The types and quantities of materials required are enormous.

Even Nezha's generous gift was far from enough for him to complete his grand plan. However, Nezha seemed to have anticipated this, leaving a message indicating that Chen Yun would have to find a way to collect the subsequent materials himself.

Chen Yun took it all in stride, even a little excited: "It's alright! We can gather the materials gradually if we don't have enough! Anyway, I have 'research funding' now, and I can synthesize some materials myself or obtain them through other means; it just takes a little more time!"

After delivering the supplies to Chen Yun, Qin Le went to find Luo Qiuyue.

The gifts her master, Yue Cijing, prepared for her were perfectly suited: five branches of divine wood, each a different color and imbued with the pure essence of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as five pieces of white silk that appeared simple but were actually shimmering with inner light.

Silk is woven by the hands of weavers and possesses the properties of bearing and stabilizing the power of laws.

Luo Qiuyue planned to refine a set of Five Elements Flags as her natal magic weapon. The core materials that Yue Cijing prepared for her were tailor-made and just right.

Finally, Qin Le found Lu Qingshuang, who was quietly reading a book.

What Chang'e prepared for her was a fist-sized, jet-black metal that was cold to the touch and constantly emanated an extremely cold and yin aura—the Xuan Yin Cold Iron.

This item is a rare treasure formed deep within the Taiyin Star, nourished by the ultimate moonlight and cold air, making it a perfect match for Lu Qingshuang's Ice Law.

As she handed this gift, imbued with the serene aura of the moon palace, to Lu Qingshuang, she chuckled softly:

"Thank you for your help."

Qin Le smiled and nodded, the delivery task finally completed.

Seeing his companions receive appropriate gifts and begin preparing for their destined magical treasures, he was genuinely happy for them.

The road ahead is long, but these solid accumulations are undoubtedly a firm ladder to higher places.
