Jiawei Restaurant.

With the system's persistent prompts, Cold Fairy finally snapped out of her daze and turned her gaze to the reward, though it's unclear how much she truly cared about it.

[Host, the reward for first place is worlds apart from that for second place.]

The system unexpectedly gave a notification.

"Oh."

Would you like to collect it now?

"Receive."

Ying Bing took a small sip of tea and nodded subconsciously.

The next second, a long sword appeared on the table. All its unusual features were blocked by the system, but even so, it still looked extraordinary to the naked eye.

The longsword was three feet and three inches long, slender and long, its blade seemingly shrouded in iridescent frost, and near the hilt was a hollow center, within which divine light seemed to float.

[Reward 1: Moon-in-Mid-Autumn]

Without even needing to read the system introduction, Ying Bing already knew the origin of the longsword the moment she took it.

The Moon-in-Mid-Autumn, also known as the Moonlight Beauty, is a divine weapon.

It ranks fourth on the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Divine Weapon Registry, second only to the Heavenly Human Divine Sword stored in the Heavenly Human Realm of the Imperial Capital among swords.

It was also the sword she wore in her previous life.

Buzz--

The longsword, though its Moon-in-Mid-Autumn power remained unseen, emitted a faint ringing sound. The divine weapon possessed a spirit; though it could not speak, it expressed its doubts through its sword intent.

She seemed to be a little girl, asking in a clear, melodious voice:

"I don't know you, but you feel very familiar."

"Then you must be obedient from now on."

Ying Bing's eyes revealed a hint of reminiscence as her pale fingers gently traced the spine of the sword.

"If I accept you as my master, will you introduce me to your good friends?"

The Moon-in-Mid-Autumn conveys curiosity and longing.

Hearing this familiar question, Ying Bing was taken aback.

In my previous life, when the Moon-in-Mid-Autumn spirit recognized me, I also asked this question.

She said yes without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, the lord of the Cassia Palace, who never lies, was tricked into giving away a weapon because of this.

Actually, Ying Bing can't be blamed entirely.

Divine weapons don't consider anyone other than their master as friends; their friends are naturally the weapons themselves.

Without intelligence, one cannot make friends.

But aside from Heavenly Fortune Dao Artifact and magical weapons, where do other weapons come from?

Our Lord of the Cassia Palace is isolated from the world, and has no friends of his own. Where can he find friends for the Moon-in-Mid-Autumn?

"Let me introduce you to some new friends..."

Ying Bing lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, her beautiful face softening:

Yes, it will.

"What kind of new friend?"

"It's a hammer."

"Wow."

The Moon-in-Mid-Autumn and excited; it doesn't care what kind of friends they are, as long as they're not the kind that people dislike.

Its previous owners had never introduced it to any of the hammer-themed friends.

So, filled with anticipation for her new friends, Moon-in-Mid-Autumn was taken into the Big-Headed Doll.

A hint of pleasure flashed in Ying Bing's eyes.

It's not that they possessed a divine weapon. After all, the Moon-in-Mid-Autumn can only be used as a trump card. For the Divine Observation Realm to activate a divine weapon is far too difficult. It would be good enough if they could use a portion of the divine weapon's power in a critical moment.

Even she would need to reach at least the ninth level of the Inner Scene, or even the External Scene Realm.

[Reward 2: One bottle of Immortal Spirit Qi]

[Immortal Spirit Qi]: "The first human to achieve immortality in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, after ascending to heaven, deeply moved by the hardships endured by humanity, not only did he not take away the Great Dao he possessed, but he also stored the first wave of Immortal Spirit Qi he had absorbed in this bottle, leaving it for future generations."

Celestial energy?!

This should be the first item related to 'immortals' among the system's rewards!

The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths do possess immortal spiritual energy, but it is extremely rare. It seems that this energy did not originate from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths themselves, yet it is enough to make Seventh Realm or Eighth Realm envious.

For example, refining divine elixirs like the Nine-Orifice Dragon-Tiger Golden Pill Elixir.

For example, forging divine weapons... setting up formations... and even...

Repair the Heavenly Fortune Dao Artifact!

Not only that, it can also be used on oneself, for example, to activate martial arts, or even to exist in the Dantian, allowing it to slowly transform the body, and even imbue the body with Immortal Spirit Qi.

"Keep this for now."

Ying Bing carefully put it away.

There's one last reward.

Are they two... shirts?

[Reward 3: A set of Pure Yang Long Robe.]

[Pure Yang Long Robe]: "When worn alone, it is a top-grade Xuan-level garment. Using various martial arts techniques will grant it a Yang-enhancing effect. However, it is crucial not to wear it alone for extended periods, as it can easily lead to an excessive surge of Yang energy, making it difficult to control."

"If one cultivates with someone wearing the Taiyin Immortal-Retaining Skirt, one can achieve harmony of Yin and Yang, making the process twice as effective, and also comprehend the Dao of Yin and Yang, which is infinitely profound."

[Note]: "This garment is absolutely forbidden for women. If a woman wears it, over time, the Yin Qi within her body will dissipate..."

Ying Bing: "?"

What does it mean when the system sends her a reward she can't use?

However, it would be quite nice to give it to Li Mo...

That's what I was thinking.

[Congratulations, host! As you have achieved first place on the leaderboard, you are hereby awarded an additional reward.]

[Reward 4: A set of Taiyin Immortal-Retaining Skirt.]

[Taiyin Immortal-Retaining Skirt]: "Wearing it alone, it is a top-grade Xuan-level garment. Using any martial art, it will receive a Yin-based blessing..."

The description is similar to that of the Pure Yang Long Robe, except that the two are presented in reverse.

Men cannot wear the Taiyin Immortal-Retaining Skirt, and being with someone wearing Pure Yang Long Robe will harmonize Yin and Yang...

The two garments lay quietly on the table.

One piece is pure white, embroidered with a golden sun using mysterious and grand gold thread.

A dark-colored fairy-like dress, embroidered with the Taiyin in mysterious dark lines.

When placed together, even the air seems to become viscous.

Opposites attract...

Even a fool could see that these two outfits are a set.

"..."

Ying Bing pursed her lips.

If she knew about Little Li's past life memories, she would understand why she felt so strange.

Aren't these matching couple outfits?

On the other side.

Li Mo tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. As soon as he turned his head, he saw the Pearl White Lotus Silk Socks placed not far from his pillow.

Littering your socks after washing your feet is a really bad habit!

Little Li thought his mother was right.

Now he can smell the fragrance as soon as he closes his eyes...

He can now barely roll over, and he can sit up with a bit of grit.

But he still couldn't feel his hands. It was a miracle that the blow hadn't sent both of his arms flying; he was just lucky his hands hadn't broken.

So, the simple act of taking the stockings away with one's hands is now something one can only wish for but lack the strength to do.

"We can't just use our mouths..."

Little Li shook his head, stopping himself from having dangerous thoughts.

After a moment's thought, he decided to claim the system reward first to distract himself.

Maybe she'll fall asleep?

Like counting goats, Li Mo himself doesn't know how many rewards the system has now, and can only slowly sort them out one by one.

"I'll hold off on checking the feedback from those with low celestial destiny for now."

"Gray Destiny and Black Destiny, now even martial arts insights rarely explode. Is it because my realm is far behind that of the investors?"

"The feedback from the blue and green destinies..."

Li Mo was calculating.

Most of them were rare treasures, gold and silver jewelry, or heavenly materials and earthly treasures that he didn't consider particularly valuable.

But its advantage lies in its large quantity.

This replenished his depleted purse, and if he were to take full account, his wealth might even surpass what it was before.

However, there are too many of them to count.

After a moment, Li Mo's eyes finally lit up.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully invested in 'Huang Donglai,' saving him from being severely injured and falling with Greenwood City.]
