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

"Can you stop laughing?" Lu Qingshuang rubbed her reddened forehead and glared at Qin Le, annoyed. "Explain yourself."

This guy is still trying not to laugh.

The fairy Chang'e just popped up and tapped her before retreating back into her sea of ​​consciousness. She was clearly quite angry and didn't want to deal with this unfilial disciple for the time being.

Lu Qingshuang truly couldn't understand why her master was angry, nor did she grasp the meaning behind Qin Le's meaningful remark just now.

Qin Le finally managed to stop laughing, cleared his throat, and asked, "Think about it yourself, what realm were you at when you ascended to the Heavenly Realm?"

"Early stage of Celestial Immortal, or perfect stage of Earthly Immortal, what's wrong!" Lu Qingshuang replied.

This is the goal she set for herself; she won't ascend until she reaches this level.

"Do you know what realm Chang'e is at?" Qin Le asked again.

"Perfected Great Luo Golden Immortal realm." Lu Qingshuang was naturally clear about her master's realm.

"That settles it then?" Qin Le spread his hands and laughed, "Even if you ascend, you'll only be at the early stage of Celestial Immortal. What if you encounter trouble you can't handle? Can't you go back to Fairy Chang'e for help? She's a powerful Grand Luo Golden Immortal at the peak; can't she protect a mere Celestial Immortal like you?"

Lu Qingshuang: "..."

She blinked, and a few seconds later, a look of sudden realization appeared on her face.

"I understand..." she murmured, then gave a bitter smile: "I really didn't deserve that blow just now."

She's not stupid; she's just a bit blind to things, or rather, subconsciously unwilling to think in that direction.

After Qin Le's explanation, she instantly understood.

The thighs don't necessarily have to be those of a saint like Nuwa.

Anyone willing to help her and whose strength far surpasses hers can be considered her support. And her master, the Fairy Chang'e, is undoubtedly Lu Qingshuang's readily available and extremely reliable patron.

Chang'e may not be as good as Nuwa, but her cultivation as a Great Luo Golden Immortal is a height that Lu Qingshuang may not be able to reach even if she spends her whole life trying.

With such a master, she didn't think of relying on him. Instead, she felt she had no powerful backer. To some extent, this was indeed a disrespect for her master's abilities, and it's no wonder that her master was unhappy.

Of course, Qin Le and Chang'e Fairy both knew that Lu Qingshuang was not disrespectful to her teachers; she was simply independent and unwilling to rely too much on others, even her own master.

This mindset, ironically, prevented her from immediately grasping the situation.

"Are you still worried about that 'predetermined future'?" Qin Le asked with a smile.

Lu Qingshuang thought for a moment, then shook her head and nodded gently: "There's still a little bit... but it won't affect my mind like before, making it impossible to even concentrate on cultivation."

After figuring it out, the heavy worry about loss did indeed dissipate by more than half.

Just as Qin Le said, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. And her master, the fairy Chang'e, is undoubtedly the tallest and most stable mountain beside her.

If you need anything, you can really go to your master.

At this moment, Lu Qingshuang turned her gaze to Qin Le and suddenly asked, "Then... wouldn't you be considered our 'big brother'?"

Once she started thinking, she suddenly realized that the person in front of her also seemed to perfectly fit the criteria for thighs.

He may not be strong enough now, but his future is promising, and his background is incredibly powerful. If she encounters difficulties after ascending to the Heavenly Realm, wouldn't she be able to ask Qin Le for help?

"Me?" Qin Le pointed to himself and smiled nonchalantly, "That'll have to wait until after I ascend to the Heavenly Realm. Right now... it's not possible."

"You're actually ready now," Lu Qingshuang said earnestly. "After all, you can preach to us and give us crucial guidance in many areas."

Qin Le may have limited combat skills at present, but the accelerated cultivation and guidance he provides are of great help to Lu Qingshuang.

The fairy Chang'e once frankly told her that with Qin Le's continuous guidance and assistance, it was almost a certainty that she would comprehend the laws, achieve immortality, and ascend to the heavens.

This kind of help is no less valuable than pure protection, and in some ways even more precious—after all, even Chang'e might not have had that much time to preach to her so frequently.

"Now that you mention it..." Qin Le stroked his chin and smiled, "That's not wrong."

He was well aware of the value of his preaching, but he never considered himself to be worthy of it, nor did he feel that others owed him anything.

Lu Qingshuang's face showed that familiar look of conflict again: "Actually... I've been thinking about how to repay you."

Her relationship with Qin Le wasn't particularly close.

During their middle school years, the two barely exchanged a few words. The fact that Luo Qiuyue is now able to occupy one of Qin Le's precious lecture slots is largely due to Luo Qiuyue's shamelessness and the fact that she's also involved.

She felt grateful to Luo Qiuyue, and even more so to Qin Le.

She could think of some ways to repay Luo Qiuyue; but as for Qin Le... she really couldn't think of anything she could offer in return.

"Take your time." Qin Le waved his hand, his smile gentle and reassuringly carefree: "There's plenty of time in the future, there will always be opportunities."

return?

He didn't really think about this much when he was helping people.

If he truly wanted something in return, he would have clearly stated his price from the beginning, rather than offering help for free.

Besides, even if he had charged fees in the past, what could he have charged for?

At that time, his lifespan was limited, and after death, everything would be empty. What use would those worldly possessions be?

Leave it to his parents?

Stop joking. The profits his mother makes from casually developing a new elixir probably far exceed what he accumulates from a lifetime of charging for instruction.

In that case, it would be more meaningful to let everyone keep the resources to improve themselves.

"You're right..." Lu Qingshuang smiled, feeling much relieved.

It's definitely too early to worry about this now.

Once she comprehends the laws of nature, achieves immortality, and possesses infinite time, she will naturally find a suitable way to express her gratitude.

Now, what she should do most is to first grant herself that infinite time.

At this moment, Qin Le changed the subject and asked about cultivation: "By the way, how's your progress in the Ice and Snow Intent realm lately?"

"Fortunately, it's steadily improving," Lu Qingshuang said truthfully.

She had only recently grasped the essence of the art, but her progress was already astonishing among her peers. Many senior students were not necessarily better at controlling the essence of the art than she was.

This rapid progress owes much to Qin Le's sermons. Cultivating and comprehending in that state of enlightenment is incredibly efficient.

Of course, there is still a long way to go before one can cultivate the artistic conception to a perfect level.

"I see..." Qin Le stroked his chin, a mischievous smile flashing in his eyes, and suggested, "Then how about you... seal your cultivation, go to the far north continent to feel the cold wind, and get a feel for it?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshuang couldn't help but roll her eyes at him again, her expression resolute:

"don't want!"

She's not stuck in a rut of cultivation or has no other way out, so why would she want to suffer like that?
