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

"You...you're Qin Le?"

As soon as Qin Le returned to the academy, his fellow demon students surrounded him, drawn by the Daoist aura emanating from him.

But when they saw the fluffy tabby cat in front of them, dressed in a little outfit, they were all stunned, their expressions blank.

"it's me."

Qin Le raised the cat's head, her tone revealing a sense of utter despair.

The tiger demon asked blankly, "Qin Le, you...you wouldn't actually be a demon like us, would you?"

"No." Qin Le said expressionlessly, though his cat-like face didn't reveal much. "I used it to test the medicine on my mom."

"Auntie is really... amazing." The tiger demon finally managed to utter this exclamation after a long pause.

They knew a little about Qin Le's mother's research capabilities—many students in the college wore all sorts of animal ears, and they had all inquired about them and knew that they were Qin Le's mother's creations.

But to their utter surprise, this aunt could turn people into animals... This was completely beyond their imagination.

Evening, in the cafeteria.

Qin Le sat around a table with Chen Yun, Chu Xiaonan, Luo Qiuyue, Lu Qingshuang, Wang Zhiheng, and Li Yanran for a meal.

Chen Yun stared at Qin Le, who was squatting on the table, and laughed so hard he almost fell over, tears welling up in his eyes:

"Hahaha... Auntie is absolutely amazing! Hahaha... I wonder what the side effects of this pill will be... Hahaha..."

As Qin Le's longtime friend, Chen Yun had witnessed countless drug trials, but this was the first time he had ever seen Qin Le act so unethically.

This scene could make him laugh for a year.

The others also couldn't help but laugh, but they didn't laugh as unrestrainedly as Chen Yun.

Other students in the cafeteria also cast curious glances at him from time to time—if the alliance hadn't issued an emergency announcement explaining that Qin Le had temporarily turned into a cat to cooperate with his mother's research on a new elixir, they would have really thought he was a new exchange student from the demon race.

"Keep laughing." Qin Le glanced at Chen Yun with her cat-like eyes, her tone indifferent: "Once the pills are improved, I'll feed you a hundred or two hundred to try."

"No, no, no! I was wrong! Brother Qin! Brother Le!" Chen Yun immediately admitted defeat, clasping his hands together: "Just treat me like a fart, let me go!"

He doesn't want to become a morally bankrupt person.

It's not that he can't accept becoming an animal, but how can he forge weapons if he becomes an animal?

That was worse than killing him.

Therefore, no matter what miraculous side effects this pill might have, he resolutely refused to take it.

After chatting and laughing through dinner, the group went to the cultivation area and booked a quiet room.

Qin Le can preach to them again.

After the sermon, everyone had gained something and returned to their dormitories satisfied.

As soon as Qin Le lay down on his bed, Nuwa floated out of his mind, a smile on her face, and reached out to pet the cat.

"Wow, this feels really nice!"

She rubbed Qin Le's body with both hands, from his head to his back and then to the base of his tail, her movements practiced and skillful.

During the day, with Lin Wanrou around, she had to maintain a certain saintly demeanor and could only use a cat toy.

Now that there are no outsiders around, she's not going to hold back anymore.

"Mother Nuwa," Qin Lesheng said listlessly, his cat eyes filled with despair, "How about... I get you a real cat?"

He was really afraid that Nuwa would get addicted to petting the cat and would make him stay in cat form forever, instead of letting him be human.

"Aren't you a cat yourself?" Nuwa chuckled and poked his cat-like nose. "What kind of cat keeps a pet cat?"

Get another cat?

She doesn't want to.

No other cat is as good-looking as the one Qin Le transformed into.

Even in cat form, Qin Le's looks are so outstanding that it's unfair; he's simply incomparable to ordinary cats.

Moreover, what she actually enjoyed was the process of teasing Qin Le, not the cat itself.

Qin Le: "..."

Completely giving up resistance, it lay sprawled out like a cat pancake, letting Nuwa do as she pleased.

There was nothing he could do; he couldn't resist the emperor's affection.

The next morning.

When Qin Le woke up, he found himself back in human form, lying comfortably in bed. He let out a long sigh of relief.

But then, a soft sigh, tinged with obvious regret, echoed in his mind:

"Sigh... What a pity, it's gone so soon."

Qin Le: "..."

Pretending not to hear, I got up to wash up.

After breakfast, Qin Le asked someone to send the bracelet artifact that recorded his body data to his mother, as it was no longer of any use to him.

He then went to a training ground.

Chu Xiaonan was already waiting there.

Beside him stood a strangely shaped, bunker-like metal artifact covered with countless gun barrels—an upgraded version of the firepower-covering magic weapon Chen Yun had used before, but larger and more complex in structure.

After Chu Xiaonan went to Chen Yun to explain his needs, Chen Yun immediately reforged one for him without saying a word.

It wasn't that he was reluctant to give up the old one, but rather that the old model, limited by the materials and design at the time, could no longer meet Chu Xiaonan's higher-intensity hammering and forging needs.

Now that Chen Yun is wealthy and powerful, he will naturally forge an even better one for his friends if they need it.

Qin Le picked up a tablet-like controller and smiled as he looked at Chu Xiaonan, who was already in position several meters away:

"What attribute should we start with?"

Chu Xiaonan thought for a moment: "Let's start with fire attribute."

"OK."

Qin Le quickly selected on the controller. The next moment, part of the gun muzzle on the magical artifact suddenly lit up with a blazing red light.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!

Boom boom boom boom—!!

In an instant, countless bullets and shells formed from pure flames poured out like a storm, instantly engulfing Chu Xiaonan's figure.

This new magical artifact differs fundamentally from Chen Yun's old one: it only requires a sufficient amount of spirit stones to operate, and even mortals can control it. The old one, however, required Chen Yun's own spiritual power to be consumed.

This is also one of the reasons why Chu Xiaonan waited for Qin Le to come—on the one hand, someone needed to precisely control the intensity and rhythm, and on the other hand, it was to prevent any unforeseen circumstances from getting out of control and breaking Chu Xiaonan into pieces.

The barrage of fire continued.

Chu Xiaonan gritted his teeth and remained silent, fully activating his body-refining technique to absorb and transform the attacks that struck his body, which contained both scorching and impactful power, using them to temper and strengthen every inch of his flesh and bones.

pain!

The pain was excruciating, like being in a furnace! But having chosen the path of body cultivation, he would never back down even a step.

Qin Le watched Chu Xiaonan grit his teeth and persevere through the sea of ​​fire, his gaze falling on the special tight-fitting training suit he was wearing, and he felt a little curious:

"How did you even come up with the idea for this outfit?"

That was a cultivation robe specifically for body cultivators, made of an extremely special material—it could not be damaged by any attack, but it itself did not provide any defense; all attacks would penetrate the clothing and affect the wearer.

It is said that the original intention of developing this clothing was because the clothes would often burst during physical training, and this thoughtful design was created to avoid embarrassing exposure.

About half an hour later, Chu Xiaonan raised her hand to signal. Qin Le immediately stopped attacking.

Chu Xiaonan was steaming hot, his skin flushed, and he staggered to the side, plopped down, and gasped for breath. Qin Le also went over and sat down next to him.

After resting for a while, Qin Le looked at Chu Xiaonan's profile, which was covered in sweat, and suddenly remembered a question that had been bothering him for a long time:

"Speaking of which, Chu Xiaonan, why... do you admire Erlang Shen so much?"

This question had been lingering in his mind for a long time.

How did Chu Xiaonan develop such a scatterbrained personality?

Logically speaking, the two had no prior interaction. The last time Chu Xiaonan heard the Dao in the Heavenly Realm was the first time she had seen Erlang Shen in person.

But where did his inexplicable yet unwavering reverence come from?
