"Special martial talent?"
Zhou Yi's eyes lit up. This was the reward from Wang Yuyan.
He could only marvel...
As expected of the "Divine Fairy."
"Claim!"
Zhou Yi first fused with the Photographic Memory talent.
This talent didn't just allow him to memorize martial arts at a glance; it also significantly enhanced his comprehension, enabling him to grasp and master martial techniques more deeply and efficiently.
It wasn't just about having a great memory.
After all, this was a special martial talent.
Such a gift was far more valuable than any sacred technique manual or divine weapon—it was akin to greatly elevating Zhou Yi's martial aptitude.
Immediately after, information about the Life-and-Death Talisman also integrated into his mind.
The Life-and-Death Talisman was a unique technique of Tianshan Tonglao, the mistress of the Spirit Vulture Palace on Tianshan's Piao Miao Peak. It was a method used to control others.
Those afflicted by the talisman would experience unbearable itching at the afflicted area, which would gradually deepen until even their internal organs felt the torment.
The pain and itching would intensify daily for 81 days before subsiding, only to cycle again.
No matter how powerful one's martial skills were, they could not endure such torment. It was a living hell.
"Not bad."
Zhou Yi nodded slightly. The Life-and-Death Talisman involved the manipulation of Yin and Yang energies, condensing water into ice to form the talisman.
Although it relied on the two forces of Yin and Yang, the order of their use, their proportions, and their transformations were infinitely variable, making it impossible for others to decipher the technique.
Zhou Yi's Water-Fire Golden Bell Shield already contained immense Yin-Yang power. Using it to apply the Life-and-Death Talisman would far surpass Tianshan Tonglao's original technique.
Even martial artists several levels stronger than Zhou Yi would likely be unable to break it.
In high spirits, Zhou Yi eagerly awaited Li Qingluo's rewards.
"Reward One: Eternal Youth Pills (10 pills)."
"Reward Two: Wolf Fang Club (Special Divine Weapon)."
"This feels... a bit odd," Zhou Yi muttered, glancing at the alluring and voluptuous Li Qingluo before claiming the rewards.
The Eternal Youth Pills were self-explanatory.
Although Zhou Yi had a decent stock of such treasures, these were always welcome.
As for the special divine weapon, the Wolf Fang Club, Zhou Yi examined it and quickly received information about its usage.
The weapon's unique material allowed it to alter its size and shape, as well as its hardness.
"Well, now..."
Zhou Yi cast a meaningful glance at the unconscious Li Qingluo. "Was this custom-made for her?"
"We'll test it out another day."
After putting away the treasures, Zhou Yi held Li Qingluo's soft, voluptuous figure.
He couldn't help but note that her mature allure was something Wang Yuyan couldn't match.
Li Qingluo, stirred awake, her face flushed and her gaze filled with lingering affection. She lazily traced her fingers along Zhou Yi's skin, a mix of awe and satisfaction in her expression.
"You little scoundrel, how are you this good?"
Her voice carried a hint of blame, but her tone was more teasing than accusatory.
"You bullied Yuyan and now me. You almost wore me out," she murmured with a coquettish smile, exuding the charm of a mature woman.
Zhou Yi smirked, feigning dissatisfaction. "Wore you out? Am I that weak?"
His teasing earned him a playful glare from Li Qingluo, who retaliated with a bite on his shoulder.
Turning his attention to other matters, Zhou Yi's thoughts drifted to Azhu and Abi.
"Since they've delivered themselves to me, I can't let them go to waste."
"They'd only be squandered following Murong Fu."
Using his dream-entering ability, Three Thousand Realms Dream, Zhou Yi infiltrated the dreams of Azhu and Abi, crafting nightmarish scenarios to sow seeds of disillusionment and dependency.
Azhu dreamed of being abandoned by Murong Fu and handed over to the villainous Yun Zhonghe. Abi saw herself betrayed and mortally wounded by Murong Fu to appease a jealous Western Xia princess.
Both awoke in terror, their loyalty to Murong Fu shaken.
Zhou Yi observed their reactions from the rooftop, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.
"Now, the groundwork is laid. It's time to weave the next act."
The moon hung bright in the night sky, its silvery light casting a tranquil glow over the unfolding schemes.
