Chapter 306
【Host, the reward for first place is a world apart from that of second place.】
The system unexpectedly chimed in with a unique reminder.
“Oh.”
【Would you like to claim it now?】
“Claim it.”
Ying Bing gently sipped her tea, instinctively nodding.
In the next moment, a long sword appeared on the table, its extraordinary features sealed by the system. Yet, even so, it still looked remarkably impressive to the naked eye.
The sword was three feet long, slender and elongated, its blade seemingly shimmering with a cold, colorful frost. Near the hilt, there was a hollow space, as if divine light danced within.
【Reward One: Yue Zhong Yin (Moonlight Shadow)】
Without needing to look at the system's description, Ying Bing already knew its origin the moment she picked up the sword.
Yue Zhong Yin, also known as the Moonlit Beauty, was a divine weapon.
Ranked fourth on the divine weapon list of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, it was second only to the Celestial Sword stored in the Heavenly Realm of the Imperial Capital.
It was also the sword she had wielded in her previous life.
Buzz—
The sword, Yue Zhong Yin, did not yet reveal its extraordinary nature, but a faint ringing sound echoed, as if the divine weapon had a spirit of its own. Though it could not speak, it expressed its confusion through its sword intent.
It felt like a little girl, her voice crisp as she asked:
“I don’t know you, but you feel so familiar.”
“Then you must listen to me from now on.”
Ying Bing’s gaze softened with a hint of nostalgia as her delicate fingers gently brushed over the sword’s spine.
“If you recognize me as your master, will you take me to meet good friends?”
Yue Zhong Yin conveyed curiosity and longing.
Hearing this familiar question, Ying Bing paused for a moment.
In her previous life, when Yue Zhong Yin recognized her as its master, it had asked the same question.
She had answered without hesitation that she would.
Little did she know, the Lord of the Gui Palace, who never lied, had inadvertently deceived a weapon.
But it wasn’t entirely Ying Bing’s fault.
Divine weapons, aside from their masters, did not consider anyone else as friends; their friends were naturally other weapons.
Without intelligence, one could hardly speak of friendship.
Yet, aside from the Dao tools and divine weapons, where would other weapons find such intelligence?
The Lord of the Gui Palace was solitary, having no friends of her own, so how could she find friends for Yue Zhong Yin?
“Take you to meet new friends…”
Ying Bing lowered her gaze in thought, her expression softening:
“I will.”
“What kind of new friend?”
“It’s a hammer.”
“Wow.”
Yue Zhong Yin was thrilled and excited; it didn’t care what kind of friend it was, as long as it wasn’t someone annoying.
None of its previous masters had ever introduced it to a hammer friend.
So, with anticipation for its new friend, Yue Zhong Yin was stored away in the big-headed doll.
A glimmer of joy flashed in Ying Bing’s eyes.
It wasn’t merely about possessing a divine weapon; after all, Yue Zhong Yin could only serve as a trump card. To summon the power of a divine weapon in the realm of observing the divine was quite a stretch. It would be fortunate if she could wield even a fraction of its power at a critical moment.
Even she would need to reach the Ninth Heaven of the Inner Realm, or even the Outer Realm.
【Reward Two: A bottle of Immortal Spirit Qi.】
【Immortal Spirit Qi】: “In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the first immortal of the human race, after ascending, felt the hardships of humanity. Not only did he not take away the great Dao he mastered, but he also preserved the first wave of Immortal Spirit Qi he bathed in, storing it in this bottle for future generations.”
Immortal Spirit Qi?!
This was undoubtedly the first item related to ‘immortality’ among the system’s rewards!
The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths contained Immortal Spirit Qi, but it was exceedingly rare, seemingly not born from the realm itself, enough to make even the Seventh and Eighth Realms envious.
For instance, to refine precious pills like the Nine Orifices Dragon Tiger Golden Pill.
To forge divine weapons… to set up formations… or even…
To repair Dao tools!
Not only that, but it could also be used on oneself, such as to enhance martial arts, or even stored in the dantian to slowly transform the body, infusing it with Immortal Spirit Qi.
“I’ll keep this for now.”
Ying Bing treasured it as she stored it away.
There was one last reward.
Two pieces of… clothing?
【Reward Three: A set of Pure Yang Robes.】
【Pure Yang Robes】: “When worn alone, it is a top-tier Xuan-level garment. Using various martial arts will grant a Yang enhancement. However, it should not be worn alone for too long, as it may lead to excessive Yang energy, making it hard to control.”
“If worn together with someone in the Taiyin Liu Xian Skirt, it can harmonize Yin and Yang, achieving twice the result with half the effort, and one can comprehend the mysteries of Yin and Yang, which are boundless.”
【Note】: “This clothing is strictly for men; if a woman wears it for an extended period, her Yin energy will dissipate…”
Ying Bing: “?”
What did it mean for the system to give her a reward she couldn’t use?
But it would be quite nice to give it to Li Mo…
Just as she was thinking this.
【Congratulations, Host! Due to your first-place victory, an additional reward has been granted.】
【Reward Four: A set of Taiyin Liu Xian Skirt.】
【Taiyin Liu Xian Skirt】: “When worn alone, it is a top-tier Xuan-level garment. Using various martial arts will grant a Yin enhancement…”
The description was similar to that of the Pure Yang Robes, except that the two were opposites.
The Pure Yang Robes could not be worn by men, and when worn together with someone in the Taiyin Liu Xian Skirt, they could harmonize Yin and Yang…
The two garments lay quietly on the table.
One was pure white, embroidered with a golden sun using profound and elegant golden threads.
The other was a dark skirt, embroidered with mysterious Yin lines depicting the Taiyin.
When placed together, it seemed even the air became thick with tension.
Opposites attract…
Even a fool could see that these two garments were a set.
“…”
Ying Bing bit her lip.
If she knew about a certain little Li’s past life memories, she would understand why she felt so strange inside.
Wasn’t this a couple’s outfit?
.......
On the other side.
Li Mo tossed and turned, unable to sleep. As he turned his head, he caught sight of the pearl-white lotus silk socks lying not far from his pillow.
Throwing socks around after washing his feet was truly a bad habit!
Little Li thought his mother was right.
Now, whenever he closed his eyes, he could smell a faint fragrance…
He could barely roll over, and sitting up with gritted teeth was no problem.
But his hands still had no feeling. The blow had been so severe that he was lucky his arms hadn’t flown off; not breaking his hands was already a blessing.
So, the simple action of using his hands to take away the socks was now a case of having the will but lacking the strength.
“I can’t use my mouth…”
Little Li shook his head, stopping himself from that dangerous thought.
After pondering for a moment, he decided to claim his system rewards first to distract himself.
Maybe he would fall asleep after all?
Like counting sheep, he had no idea how many rewards the system had for him; he could only slowly sort through them one by one.
“Let’s not look at the low destiny feedback for now.”
“Gray and black destiny feedback; is it because my realm is too far from the investors that I’m getting so little martial comprehension?”
“Blue and green destiny feedback…”
Li Mo calculated.
Most of it was just some treasures, gold, silver, and jewels, or what he considered not particularly precious natural materials.
But the quantity was substantial.
It seemed to fill his once-empty pockets; if he counted them all, his wealth might even surpass what it had been before.
However, there were too many to count.
After a moment, Li Mo’s eyes finally lit up.
【Congratulations, Host! You successfully invested in ‘Huang Donglai,’ helping him avoid serious injury from the fall of Qingmu City.】
【Investment Feedback: Shengsheng Changshou Wan (Longevity Pill).】

P.S.: I’ll fix any typos later; if you see any, please give me a nudge for a recharge!
