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

Cold Moon City.

Upon arriving, Qin Le did not delay and immediately took out the Divine Jade and infused it with his divine sense.

"Qing Shuang, where is she?" His voice was transmitted through the Divine Jade.

A moment later, Lu Qingshuang's voice rang out, carrying a hint of the effects of battle: "I was clearing out the Chaos Beasts outside the city with Bai Xue. Is something the matter?"

"Well, is it convenient for me to go back to the city? I have something good for you," Qin Le said with a smile.

"Now?" Lu Qingshuang paused for a moment, then said decisively, "Okay, I'll be right back."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the Kitchen God Restaurant." Qin Le gave a location.

"Um."

The communication ended. Qin Le determined the direction and headed towards the rather famous Kitchen God Restaurant in the city.

Upon entering the restaurant, one finds it already occupied by many guests.

Upon seeing Qin Le appear, many people showed a hint of surprise, but quickly regained their composure and began to talk quietly or enjoy their food and drinks.

Thanks to the widespread availability of respawn points, the pressure on frontline soldiers has been greatly reduced, and places like the Kitchen God Restaurant have reopened, becoming a place for many to relax and reward themselves during breaks in the battle.

Although their cultivation level has reached a point where they no longer need food, tasting delicious food is a rare comfort and enjoyment.

Qin Le found an empty seat by the window, casually ordered a few signature dishes and a pot of tea, and waited for the food to be served while also waiting for Lu Qingshuang.

Before long, a figure in light purple appeared at the entrance of the restaurant.

Lu Qingshuang wore a simple light purple fairy dress, exuding a cool and aloof temperament.

Beside her was a pure white fox with bright, lively eyes, shrunk to the size of an ordinary fox—her partner with whom she had formed a blood pact, Snow White.

"Over here." Qin Le waved to her.

Lu Qingshuang walked over and sat down opposite him. Bai Xue lightly leaped onto the chair next to her and curiously looked at Qin Le.

"What 'good stuff' is it this time?"

After Lu Qingshuang sat down, she didn't stand on ceremony and asked directly, her eyes filled with a curious smile.

"Well... see for yourself." Qin Le smiled mysteriously and flipped his hand over.

A piece of jade, about the size of a palm and dark red in color, lay quietly in his palm.

The moment the jade appeared, a pure, cold, terrifying aura of killing intent, seemingly capable of freezing the soul, silently spread out like an invisible tide!

The temperature in the entire restaurant lobby seemed to drop several degrees. The guests, who had been chatting and laughing, suddenly froze and turned their surprised and uncertain gazes toward Qin Le's table.

Lu Qingshuang's mouth gaped open, her eyes filled with shock. With her limited knowledge of rare and precious materials, she had absolutely no idea where this blood-red jade came from.

But the aura emanating from this jade... was definitely not of the law level; its level was so high that it even surpassed the immortal path!

The mere proximity caused the ice and killing laws within her body to tremble slightly.

Bai Xue, standing beside her, also perked up her ears, her azure eyes fixed on the jade stone, filled with astonishment and curiosity.

"What...what is this?" Lu Qingshuang couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Qin Le smiled at her expression and answered her question: "You can call this thing 'Heavenly Killing Intent' or 'Stone of Heavenly Punishment'."

"Heavens... Heavenly killing intent? Heavenly punishment?" Lu Qingshuang was even more bewildered.

As we all know, the Heavenly Dao has no self-awareness; it is more like a set of fixed rules and procedures that maintain the operation of the Three Realms.

Without consciousness, how can there be murderous intent?

Let alone materializing something like divine punishment?

Many of the guests around Lu Qingshuang looked confused upon hearing Qin Le's words, but some well-informed and composed people had an incredulous glint in their eyes as they looked at the blood-red jade with intense fervor, yet they forcibly suppressed it.

Qin Le noticed Lu Qingshuang's confusion, but the matter was quite complicated to explain, so he simply said, "It can't be explained in a few words. To put it simply, some powerful being intercepted and condensed the 'killing' rules in the operation of the Heavenly Dao, which are used to punish and obliterate certain beings, and forged this thing."

Upon hearing this explanation, Lu Qingshuang wisely refrained from delving further into its origin and instead asked, "Where did you get this thing?"

"It was given to me by His Majesty the Eastern Emperor Taiyi. Consider it... one of my return gifts," Qin Le said casually.

The Donghuang Taiyi gave him more than just this one gift in return, but the pure killing intent contained in this piece of Heavenly Dao Killing Intent was most compatible with Lu Qingshuang's killing law, and would greatly benefit her in comprehending a higher level of the killing path.

Lu Qingshuang simply nodded upon hearing this, as she didn't have much of a concept of the names of these ancient powerful beings.

But Bai Xue beside her suddenly opened her eyes wide, and her snow-white tail instinctively straightened up – Donghuang Taiyi!

That was a saint of their demon race!

However, Snow White quickly relaxed and flicked her tail.

Indeed, given Qin Le's relationship with the Goddess Nuwa, coupled with the astonishing things he had done, it seemed only natural that he could be associated with the various saints and receive gifts from them.

It would be strange if he had no connection with the saints.

"Thanks."

Lu Qingshuang didn't mince words. She carefully took the blood-red jade, which felt cold to the touch and seemed to have countless subtle killing intents flowing inside, and solemnly put it away.

The moment she got her hands on it, she even felt her killing instincts become more active.

After putting her things away, Lu Qingshuang couldn't help but sigh softly, and jokingly remarked, "Don't you... have anything that's even remotely 'ordinary' on you?"

For some reason, it seems that nothing Qin Le takes out is simple.

In the Three Realms, almost every piece of this item would be considered a top-tier treasure.

Upon hearing this, Qin Le couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Yes, of course there is!"

As he spoke, he actually took out a small jade bottle from his storage ring and waved it in front of Lu Qingshuang: "Here, my mom's exclusively developed and specially supplied 'Special Effect Fasting Pill,' want some?"

This was one of the pills that his mother, Lin Wanrou, specially researched and refined to prevent him from going hungry, since his spiritual affinity was only 1%, which was similar to that of an ordinary person.

I forgot to clean it before ascending, so it's been sitting in the corner of my storage ring ever since.

Lu Qingshuang: "...Fine, never mind."

She was both amused and exasperated. She truly hadn't expected to find something so... down-to-earth in Qin Le's storage ring.

It's not that things from the mortal realm are useless in the celestial realm. In fact, she kept quite a few souvenirs or practical little items brought from the mortal realm in her own storage magic artifact.

She just felt that, given Qin Le's near-complete independence from external things, he should have gotten rid of these items long ago.

Qin Le found it somewhat amusing, put the Bigu Pill back into his ring, and said helplessly, "I was too lazy before my ascension and forgot to properly organize my storage ring. There's quite a lot of messy stuff inside."

That's the truth.

In the period leading up to his ascension, his mind was elsewhere, and he didn't even think about taking stock of his belongings.

So even now, the ring still contains a lot of odds and ends that are completely useless to him, but still carry some memories.

As for keeping these things as a memento of family?

Qin Le felt it was unnecessary.

If he misses home, he can simply descend to the mortal realm to visit his relatives; it's very convenient. Why bother looking at the elixir bottle and thinking about his loved ones?

Besides, his parents are probably enjoying some alone time right now, completely absorbed in their research on elixirs.

He might even be resented for bothering him when he goes back.
