Chapter 006: Tourmaline as a Sacrifice · The Transformation of Cat's Eye Stone

The black and gray airflow erupted wildly from Zhou Weiqing's body, enveloping him and Shangguan Bing'er like a massive cocoon

When Shangguan Bing'er gradually regained her consciousness, the first thing she noticed was a peculiar smell. Then, she slowly became fully aware, and the intense pain in her body involuntarily caused her to moan.

"Extend your left hand." Shangguan Bing'er coldly stared at Zhou Weiqing. In her originally beautiful and gentle eyes, there were now several streaks of bloodshot, filled with resentment. If it were not for the shock caused by the pearl of intention on Zhou Weiqing's left hand, she would have already shot an arrow at him from behind just moments ago.

What kind of attribute does this intention pearl possess? Could it be of the spatial attribute? Zhou Weiqing only knows that among intention pearl masters, those with cat's eye intention pearls belong to the spatial attribute. Although he is not as clear as Shangguan Bing'er, he understands that the cat's eye intention pearl of the spatial attribute should not have this base color. Moreover, Marshal Zhou is associated with the dark intention pearl; as his biological son, how could he have transformed into such a strange cat's eye?

Shangguan Bing'er had one piece of clothing after another torn into shreds and thrown out of that black-gray cocoon, with heavy gasps and moans of pain and pleasure continuously emanating from within.

"Sacrifice." At this moment, although Shangguan Bing'er was no longer conscious, her subconscious still recalled these two words

As soon as he emerged from the tent, Zhou Weiqing quickly put on his outer garment and took off running. He knew he had wronged Shangguan Bing'er, but no matter what, he had to prioritize escaping with his life first.

However, he soon became greatly surprised. Could it be that my immortal skill has already been perfected? At this moment, he had already run out of the military camp, determinedly heading in a specific direction, while also concentrating his thoughts on the shoulder well point.

In addition to the Taiyuan point, there are also the four major dead points located in the upper and lower limbs: the third point, Zusanli, is situated three inches below the outer knee eye and about one finger's breadth from the outer side of the tibia; the fourth point, Sanyinjiao, is located three inches directly above the inner ankle tip and along the posterior edge of the tibia. Each of these four major dead points, like the Jianjing point, generates a vortex that quietly absorbs everything from the external environment

At this moment, it is already dawn, and the sky outside is just beginning to brighten. A faint streak of fish-belly white on the distant horizon is quietly expanding.

It is a legend that among the powerful beings possessing celestial pearls, there exists a special group whose numbers are extremely few, yet they are the most formidable celestial pearl masters. However, they also symbolize evil. When their innate pearls awaken, they generate a unique attribute that transcends elemental properties, known as malevolence. This malevolence ignites, causing them to become exceptionally powerful and bloodthirsty at the moment their innate pearls awaken. During this time, they require a sacrifice to quell the disturbance of malevolence within themselves, and this sacrifice is often the closest relative to them, especially a relative of the opposite sex. Once they find a sacrifice and successfully awaken their innate pearls, an additional layer of this evil attribute will be added to their own attributes, making them even more powerful than ordinary celestial pearl masters.

When Zhou Weiqing began his cultivation last night, he had already removed his outer garment. Therefore, when his body underwent a transformation, only his inner clothing was torn apart. The moment the thought of fear arose, it surged up like a tidal wave. He quickly grabbed his pants and outer garment, then flipped over and exited the tent, moving much faster than usual

At this moment, Zhou Weiqing's muscles were extremely swollen, and his entire body seemed to have grown a size larger. The surface of his skin shimmered with an eerie pattern of black and gray, exuding an incredibly wild aura. His military uniform had long since vanished, leaving only a gleaming silver inner armor supported by his solid muscles. Fortunately, the tendons of the demon snake were remarkably resilient, preventing them from being torn apart by his enlarged physique.

Struggling to get off Zhou Weiqing, the previous memories gradually began to resurface

Within those blood-red eyes, there was an abundance of coldness, evil, violence, and otherworldliness, along with a multitude of complex yet entirely negative emotions. Although her cultivation was not particularly strong, she was still a Heavenly Pearl Master. Yet, even so, when she beheld those eyes, she felt a wave of dizziness, as if her very soul were about to be drawn away by those sinister blood-red orbs

Shifting the topic is undoubtedly one of the effective ways to diffuse someone's anger. Zhou Weiqing quickly seized the opportunity and asked in a low voice, "Captain, what is this transformed cat's eye? I have never heard of such a pearl before"

On Zhou Weiqing's left wrist, there was another peculiar bead, which was entirely dark blue, yet it bore a bright streak of light that shimmered with a white luster. This streak moved in accordance with the motion of Zhou Weiqing's wrist, ensuring that the light streak always remained directly above. Unlike the rose-red cat's eye seen by Shangguan Bing'er, what appeared in Zhou Weiqing's eyes was a dark blue cat's eye bead. Upon closer inspection, one could faintly discern that within the bright cat's eye light streak, a wisp of gray airflow occasionally flashed.

Carefully observing the jade pendant on Zhou Weiqing's left hand, Shangguan Bing'er’s body visibly swayed for a moment, and in her eyes, filled with resentment, her gaze also became somewhat dazed

As soon as Zhou Weiqing started running, he noticed changes in his body; compared to before, it felt as if he had lost ten times his weight. With just a slight push off the ground with his toes, he propelled himself forward by five or six meters. The soreness from yesterday's weighted run had long since vanished.

But can it really just end like this? Shangguan Bing'er is unwilling to accept it; she truly cannot accept it. Which young girl does not yearn for love? In her heart, she has imagined countless times what her future husband would be like. He must be handsome and humble, possess good character, and ideally be a master of Tianzhu. He must love her deeply and cherish her like a precious treasure, until the day of their wedding, when she will completely give herself to him.

What is happening to me? The previous deep coma left her consciousness unclear. As she opened her eyes in confusion, she realized that she was lying on a solid chest. In the next moment, her body began to tremble violently, for she discovered that both she and the person beneath her were completely unclothed, and a series of intense stabs of pain continued to radiate from her lower body.

"I... I want to... kill... you..." These five words were almost squeezed out from between Shangguan Bing'er’s teeth. She had also found the weapon she needed, barely supporting her body as she drew an arrow from the quiver and thrust it towards Zhou Weiqing.

This fellow's nerves are incredibly robust; just a moment ago, he was filled with remorse for having harmed Shangguan Bing'er, yet at this moment, he is completely immersed in the excitement of having cultivated the immortal skill.

As for the cat's eye gemstone, Zhou Weiqing had never even heard of it. He carefully looked at the Yi Pearl on his left wrist, and indeed, as the sun gradually rose from the distant east, the color of the Yi Pearl transitioned from dark blue to a vibrant green, and the light streaks of the cat's eye seemed to become even more pronounced.

No matter when, Zhou Weiqing's mind is never devoid of lewd thoughts. After feeling moved, this fellow has already indulged in fantasies about what it would be like if one day he brought Shangguan Bing'er home and told his father that this is the wife he has found. He wonders how astonished his father, who has never smiled, would be.

However, at this moment, all her fantasies had turned into bubbles, and her innocence was muddled and destroyed right before her eyes by this seemingly simple yet actually very cunning and despicable individual, who also had an ordinary appearance. It could be said that there was not even a trace of affection, let alone any feelings.

Shangguan Bing'er fell back onto the bed, and immediately, the pain caused her body to curl up involuntarily. She also recovered from her earlier shock, and a strong sense of resentment resurfaced.

It is unclear how much time has passed before everything gradually calmed down. The blood-red hue in Zhou Weiqing's eyes deepened. At that moment, a strong desire to devour the lamb in his arms suddenly arose in his frenzied heart, akin to the way the black magic orb sought to consume the imperial beryl. However, just at that moment, before the black and gray currents beside him had completely dissipated, he caught sight of those alluring blue eyes, which seemed as if they could drip water, yet were incredibly beautiful.

Shangguan Bing'er raised her hand, intending to wipe away the tears in her eyes to see more clearly. However, Zhou Weiqing, who was holding her, misunderstood her intention, thinking that Shangguan Bing'er was about to strike him again

Zhou Weiqing instinctively embraced her smooth body, which was covered in bruises. This stab from Shangguan Bing'er also brought him back to a degree of awareness.

Shangguan Bing'er murmured: "Color-changing stone is a peculiar gem belonging to the beryl family. Under the sunlight during the day, it appears bluish-green, and the most beautiful color-changing stones can even display an emerald green. However, at night, under artificial light or candlelight, it transforms into rose red or purplish red. Therefore, it is also referred to as the emerald of the day and the ruby of the night, making it one of the rarest gems in the gemstone world. When this color-changing gem exhibits a cat's eye effect, it is known as color-changing cat's eye. Consequently, it is no longer referred to as one of the rarest gems, but rather the most precious gem on the continent, with a price exceeding that of diamonds by a hundredfold."

"Bastard, come back here! I told you to roll back to the barracks!" Shangguan Bing'er saw this guy about to run away, and her anger surged. She kicked him, causing him to stumble, but at the same time, she felt a sharp pain in her lower body. No matter when, this guy always managed to provoke her anger so easily.

Shangguan Bing'er circled from behind Zhou Weiqing to stand in front of him, a feathered arrow poised at his throat. Although her hair remained disheveled, her graceful figure was now covered by the military uniform that Zhou Weiqing had cleaned for her last night

It is not merely two or more types, but rather four or more types. The phenomenon of the cat's eye stone, which is said to exist only in legends, signifies that when the cat's eye stone appears, the attributes of the celestial bead master have already surpassed four types

Shangguan Bing'er felt an incomparably cold aura instantly enter her body from Zhou Weiqing's mouth. The celestial energy she had just activated seemed to be frozen, rendering her unable to summon it again. What plunged her heart into boundless fear was that within that coldness, there was also a peculiar bestial desire, causing her entire body to feel weak. As her body succumbed to the cold, her heart suddenly ignited with heat, and a primal human longing was instantly triggered by the aura that flowed from Zhou Weiqing's mouth.

This smile nearly caused him to drool, as years of frustration were released in an instant, and he naturally did not hide the joy in his heart

When he groggily opened his eyes, he immediately saw Shangguan Bing'er, who was completely unclothed. Instantly, he widened his eyes in shock. Shangguan Bing'er's movements also froze in that moment, her beautiful eyes filled with endless anger and murderous intent, glaring fiercely at him. However, she was astonished to find that Zhou Weiqing's surprise quickly turned into calmness, and this guy immediately closed his eyes again, murmuring to himself: "That startled me; it must be a spring dream. I'll continue dreaming; perhaps something will happen with her."

She truly wanted to kill him without hesitation, but reason told her that even if she did, everything would be irretrievable. He was a Celestial Pearl Master, one who appeared only in legends, possessing the ability to transform stones into cat's eyes. For the sake of the nation, she could not kill him. If he could grow in the future, then it was not impossible for him to become the greatest Celestial Pearl Master on the continent. How could such a future genius be destroyed by her own hands? A Celestial Pearl Master who could transform stones into cat's eyes, for the sake of the nation, she could not kill him. If he could grow in the future, then it was not impossible for him to become the greatest Celestial Pearl Master on the continent. How could such a future genius be destroyed by her own hands?

The cat's eye celestial bead indeed exists, symbolizing the spatial attribute among the four major superior intention beads. However, if an ordinary intention bead master possesses a cat's eye intention bead, the base color of this cat's eye intention bead should be dark yellow, which is a common characteristic of cat's eyes. In contrast, if a celestial bead master possesses a cat's eye intention bead, it will take the form of a top-grade cat's eye gemstone, specifically the most beautiful and dazzling golden-green cat's eye. The base color of the golden-green cat's eye is a faint golden hue, shimmering with some exquisite light green, and it will never be a rose red base color. This is a common characteristic of cat's eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Shangguan Bing'er tried her best to calm her emotions. Suddenly retracting the feathered arrow in her hand, she shouted sternly: "Get out, get out of my sight"

Unfortunately, I can no longer go back to ask Shangguan Bing'er. It seems that I cannot become a soldier on my own, so I should run away first. As for Shangguan Bing'er, I will consider how to repay her once my abilities have improved. Now that I am also a Heavenly Pearl Master, who knows, perhaps in the future I might really be able to be with her

When she wanted to summon her celestial power, she sadly discovered that only a trace of it remained. She was unable to even mobilize the body pearl and the intention pearl. In her helplessness, she could only seek the sharp tools around her

"Yes, I am truly sorry, I did not mean to do this, and I do not know why it happened. Although I know I am not worthy of you, if you are willing, I will take responsibility for you." When Zhou Weiqing said this, he was very serious, devoid of his usual jesting demeanor. In the past, this kind of situation would only arise when he had made a significant mistake at home.

At this moment, Shangguan Bing'er felt an immense inner turmoil. Even though Zhou Weiqing was merely a single-attribute Heavenly Jewel Master, she found herself unable to take action. When she chased out of the tent, her emotions had stabilized somewhat. She was well aware that everything that had transpired last night was indeed an accident. When Zhou Weiqing's Heavenly Jewel awakened, there arose a need for a sacrifice, and she happened to be in the right place at the right time, thus becoming his sacrifice. According to her understanding of Heavenly Jewel Masters, she knew that in such circumstances, the irrational Zhou Weiqing should have ultimately killed her. However, she did not die. This proved that Zhou Weiqing's will was remarkably resilient; at the last moment, he did not harm her, which could be seen as sparing her life. Although he had already committed a grave mistake and tarnished his own innocence, he himself was not at fault. Everything he did last night was under the influence of the awakened and mutated evil energy of the Heavenly Jewel, while he was in a completely unconscious state.

Zhou Weiqing quickly understood, thinking to himself that this must be the work of that black pearl, as it had helped him successively unblock four critical points. This meant that he was only one point away from completing the first chapter of his Undying Divine Skill, and his Heavenly Energy had also reached the fourth level of Heavenly Essence.

Zhou Weiqing's bones continuously emitted a series of cracking sounds, while his internal organs were desperately writhing. The speed of blood circulation within his body was five times that of normal. His body was being frantically transformed by an incredibly evil and remarkably magical power. The black magical patterns on his skin had become even denser, with hues of green, blue, and silver shimmering in succession on the outer layer of the black cocoon.

Just now, at the moment when Shangguan Bing'er retracted the feathered arrow in her hand, Zhou Weiqing's heart suddenly experienced a sharp pain, a feeling of heartache. She was simply too kind; despite how he had treated her, she still spared his life. In that instant, Zhou Weiqing realized that he had already fallen in love with Shangguan Bing'er. If previously he felt ashamed in her presence, now he no longer needed to harbor such emotions. He had already become a Tianzhu Master and possessed the legendary metamorphic cat's eye. As long as he worked hard in his future cultivation, he believed he was worthy of Shangguan Bing'er. He secretly resolved to treat this girl well from now on.

What he saw was not just a delicate and unrestrained Shangguan Bing'er; on her skin, which was as tender as凝脂, there were almost visible purple bruises everywhere, and on her long, rounded thighs, there seemed to be traces of blood.

The fourth level of Tianli, does that not mean that my life pearl has already awakened

With the threat to his life lifted, Zhou Weiqing immediately felt as if he had been granted a reprieve, exclaiming, "I’m leaving, I’m leaving right now." As he spoke, this fellow turned around and prepared to run off into the distance

"Cannot, cannot devour her." This was Zhou Weiqing's last thought. In the next moment, he was tightly embracing her body, and a similar violent tremor appeared almost simultaneously in both him and Shangguan Bing'er. Zhou Weiqing then fainted in the ecstasy brought by the offering, as everything faded away like a receding tide. On his wrists, an additional bead appeared on each of his hands.

At that moment, Zhou Weiqing let out a soft grunt and also awakened from his unconscious state. He came to because Shangguan Bing'er happened to roll off him and landed right on his arm.

When he focused his thoughts on this vortex, Zhou Weiqing immediately felt that the suction of the vortex had significantly increased, with strands of cool air continuously being drawn from the outside into his body, ultimately sinking into his dantian. Moreover, Zhou Weiqing soon discovered other changes occurring in his body.

What kind of eyes were those? When Shangguan Bing'er saw those blood-red eyes, she felt a wave of dizziness in her mind, and the chilling aura surrounding her was at least ten times stronger than that outside the tent.

Zhou Weiqing stared foolishly at Shangguan Bing'er, and he unexpectedly chuckled, saying: "Am I a legend?" After being a useless person for thirteen years, he suddenly transformed into a legendary level Heavenly Jewel Master. Despite facing a life-threatening situation at that moment, this change still made him feel a sense of pride.

When she first saw Zhou Weiqing, this fellow was there, raising his hands in triumph and laughing heartily. Upon seeing his wrists, Shangguan Bing'er was also taken aback, which is why it took her a moment longer to subdue him

"Zhou Xiaopang, you have ruined my innocence. Do you think you can just run away like this?" The voice, filled with resentment, sent a chill down Zhou Weiqing's spine. He hurriedly raised both hands and said, "I won't run, definitely not, absolutely not. Captain, let's talk it over first, please don't take action. Just listen to my explanation!"

Suddenly, Zhou Weiqing realized that his shoulder well point seemed to have transformed into a vortex. However, unlike the previous night when it continuously drew his own strength outward, it was now attracting something from the outside, presenting itself as a cyclone, which was quite peculiar

Zhou Weiqing blinked and said, "So, does this mean that my intention pearl attributes exceed two types? Is this better than a single attribute intention pearl?"

With a soft sound, the feathered arrow struck the chest of Zhou Weiqing, but was blocked by the titanium alloy armor on his upper body. Shangguan Bing'er was currently unable to exert much strength, and this all-out attack instead caused her to directly fall into Zhou Weiqing's embrace.

Shangguan Bing'er struggled to rise, tears continuing to flow down her face. With some difficulty, she raised the feathered arrow in her hand and once again aimed it at Zhou Weiqing.

Haha, wow hahaha, I finally have a heavenly bead, I am also a heavenly bead master now, wow haha, who would still dare to say I am useless after this.

However, the gem masters who use sacrifices to awaken the celestial pearls face a grim fate, as their loved ones who become sacrifices ultimately meet death. Some are even brutally killed after being violated, a situation that is beyond the control of the gem masters themselves. Therefore, when their life pearls awaken and they realize their beastly nature, some are unable to accept reality and choose to end their own lives. Even those who do not commit suicide often undergo drastic personality changes, becoming outcasts among the gem masters. This group is the most formidable and terrifying existence within the gem masters. Shangguan Bing'er never imagined that such a fate would befall her.

Zhou Weiqing hung his head, as if he had suffered a great injustice, and said: "Please don't be angry. Can't I just return to the barracks? I promise that no matter how you mistreat me in the future, I will not resist."

Zhou Weiqing had not walked far when he heard the sound of Shangguan Bing'er crying, which immediately made him stop in his tracks. He tiptoed back, first throwing the feathered arrows that Shangguan Bing'er had discarded even farther away. Only then did he carefully crouch down not far from her side. He did not know how to comfort her, so he could only squat beside her and think to himself: No wonder she is the most beautiful woman in the empire; even while crying, she is so beautiful.

In that dizzying moment, a powerful force suddenly surged forth, and Shangguan Bing'er felt her body instantly enveloped in a strong embrace. The innate protective instinct of a woman caused her to regain some clarity, and she widened her eyes to look. The blood-red eyes were now right in front of her, and the owner of those blood-red eyes was none other than Zhou Xiaopang.

In fact, this is also due to her own carelessness; after all, she is only fifteen years old. Although she sensed the powerful energy fluctuations from within the tent, she naturally thought that Zhou Xiaopang, who had just awakened his Tianzhu, could not possibly compare to her, a Tianzhu master who already possessed two Tianzhu. Therefore, she did not activate her own Tianzhu and barged in, which led to her being subdued by Zhou Weiqing in an instant

Shangguan Bing'er remained in a dazed state, murmuring: "Transmuted stones, when used as intention pearls, can only appear on the intention pearls of celestial pearl masters. The intention pearls of celestial pearl masters not only possess a higher quality than those of ordinary intention pearl masters and provide greater amplification, but they also have a special possibility, which is the presence of multiple attributes. When the intention pearl of a celestial pearl master exhibits two or more attributes, it will manifest in the form of a transmuted stone."

Shangguan Bing'er slowly raised her head, the confusion in her eyes had vanished, replaced by an extremely complex expression. She shook her head and nudged the arrowhead forward with her hand. The sharp pain in her throat caused Zhou Weiqing to shudder, and he immediately dared not speak.

Zhou Weiqing, although somewhat lewd and cunning, developed earlier than his peers and is taller than average. However, in essence, he is not a bad person. When faced with such situations, his mind goes blank. The villain is innocent yet so brutal. Regardless of how Shangguan Binger treats him now, he will not harbor any resentment.

Zhou Weiqing certainly did not dare to be negligent, promptly raising his left hand and extending it in front of Shangguan Bing'er

The sudden association caused Zhou Weiqing to quickly lower his head and look at his wrists. This glance was enough to make him stop running altogether; he halted in place, raising his hands in front of his eyes, and then he could hear a triumphant laughter emanating from this fellow, one that could scare a child into silence at night.

It is over, everything is over, am I really going to die like this? Mother, mother..." As Shangguan Bing'er remained conscious, the last thought that crossed her mind was of her mother. Two streams of tears flowed down her face, and in the next moment, her body, along with Zhou Weiqing who held her, was completely engulfed in a frenzy of desire.

As a Celestial Pearl Master, Shangguan Bing'er is extremely sensitive to the essence of celestial pearls. Even though she is engulfed in profound sorrow at this moment, it cannot alter her instincts. The reason her body remains still is that she has seen this peculiar celestial pearl; in her memory, there is no celestial pearl of any attribute that resembles this one.

Just as Zhou Weiqing was about to set off again, he suddenly felt a chill at the back of his neck, followed by a sharp pain that coursed through him, leaving him frozen in place.

Whenever he thought of this, Zhou Weiqing felt an immense sense of regret. Shangguan Bing'er had achieved such glorious victories, yet during that period yesterday when he was in a daze, he had done so many things that would provoke the anger of both gods and men towards her! While cursing himself, a certain corner of his heart was also thinking in a rather lewd manner, how wonderful it would have been if I had been in a clear state of mind at that time

Is this not true?" Zhou Weiqing stared in astonishment at Shangguan Bing'er, gradually coming to his senses. At this moment, he was not pretending; the scene before him was simply too shocking.

Although Zhou Weiqing was equipped with titanium alloy armor, the protection only covered his upper body. Shangguan He and Tushubing'er were both Heavenly Jewel Masters, and under the instinctive fear of death, he subconsciously released Shangguan Bing'er. With a twist of his body, he had already evaded to the edge of the tent.

I, I unexpectedly became the sacrificial offering for the awakening of his destined pearl. Tears streamed down her face in an instant; she never imagined that her first time would be so inexplicably given to such a man. I will kill him, I want to kill him

Zhou Weiqing suddenly recalled what had caused everything that happened last night, and couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, "This is bad." When he ran out, the book on the Undying Divine Skill had been left behind in the tent.

Shangguan Bing'er, after all, is a Celestial Pearl Master, and her body is much stronger than that of an ordinary person. If an ordinary girl were to be ravaged by Zhou Weiqing in such a manner, she would likely have to lie in bed for ten days or half a month, even if she did not die. However, Shangguan Bing'er’s body, enhanced by two Celestial Pearls, is already quite resilient. After regaining consciousness and with some recovery of her celestial energy, she was able to move. Seeing Zhou Weiqing about to escape, how could she be willing to let him go? She grabbed Zhou Weiqing's clothes, which had been washed but were not yet completely dry, to cover her body and chased after him.

When Zhou Weiqing heard her gritting her teeth and shouting, he had already awakened. As he opened his eyes, he saw Shangguan Bing'er lunging towards him. Startled, he quickly rolled his body, moving much faster than before, and directly flipped off the bed, successfully evading Shangguan Bing'er's attack. After delivering that strike, Shangguan Bing'er, who had just accumulated a bit of energy, suddenly exhausted more than half of it and was unable to continue the pursuit

"Let me go!" Shangguan Bing'er shouted angrily, intending to summon the celestial power within her to break free from Zhou Weiqing's embrace. However, at that moment, a wicked light flickered in Zhou Weiqing's eyes as he suddenly lowered his head and pressed his lips against hers.

A somewhat difficult sound emerged from her mouth: "Transmuted stone, transmuted cat's eye, it truly is transmuted cat's eye. Why, oh heavens, do you mock me in this way? Why must transmuted cat's eye appear on him?"

"Are you saying that this gem I have is a cat's eye with a changeable property? But what exactly is the property of this changeable cat's eye?" Zhou Weiqing asked curiously, even forgetting about the arrowhead pointing at his neck.

First, at the concave area on the lateral side of the wrists, although Zhou Weiqing had not memorized the entire Immortal Technique, he immediately recalled the content he had read the most in the first few pages. This was precisely the second acupoint among the five vital acupoints of the upper and lower limbs in the first section of the Immortal Technique, known as Taiyuan. If the Taiyuan acupoint is concentrated upon, it will obstruct the flow of the hundred meridians and internal energy. Like the Jianjing acupoint, Taiyuan is also a paired acupoint, with one located on each wrist.

When he focused his thoughts on the Jianjing acupoint on his shoulders, similar sensations also emerged in three other parts of his body

Watching Zhou Weiqing leave with a pitiful expression, Shangguan Bing'er immediately deflated like a punctured ball, collapsing to the ground. She threw away the feathered arrow in her hand, hugged her knees, and cried out loud. She was not the type of girl with a particularly strong character, and faced with such a drastic change, she was overwhelmed with mixed emotions and wept uncontrollably.

Zhou Weiqing's first thought was that it was all over. He had begun to recall some events from the previous night, but he only remembered seeing a bizarre tiger with wings and a scorpion tail. After that, he completely lost control of his body and fell into a semi-comatose state, engulfed in inhuman pain. However, the sensations that followed seemed different; it was as if he had found an outlet for his emotions, and an extremely comfortable feeling gradually replaced the previous agony. The countless turbulent currents within him also began to settle, and the pain slowly dissipated. He clearly remembered that at that moment, he seemed to regain consciousness for an instant... After that, he completely lost control of his body again, falling into a semi-comatose state, immersed in inhuman suffering. Yet, the sensations that followed seemed different; it was as if he had found an outlet for his emotions, and an extremely comfortable feeling gradually replaced the previous agony. The countless turbulent currents within him also began to settle, and the pain slowly dissipated. He clearly remembered that at that moment, he seemed to regain consciousness for an instant... And what he saw at that time seemed to be Shangguan Bing'er, who appeared to be softly moaning beneath him...

On Zhou Weiqing's wrist, there is a white bead on his right wrist, which is completely translucent and resembles ice crystal. Inside, it is clear without a trace of impurities or fluff. This is also jade, specifically a pure jade representing the Heavenly Bead Master. However, unlike Shangguan Bing'er’s dragon stone jade, the bead appearing on Zhou Weiqing's wrist is ice-type jade, a type of jade that embodies pure power enhancement. It will bring Zhou Weiqing a pure amplification of strength. Moreover, it represents the pure jade of the Heavenly Bead Master, differing from Shangguan Bing'er’s dragon stone jade. The bead on Zhou Weiqing's wrist is ice-type jade, a type of jade that embodies pure power enhancement, which will bring Zhou Weiqing a pure amplification of strength.

Shangguan Bing'er seemed to be frozen in Zhou Weiqing's embrace. At this moment, as she had plunged into Zhou Weiqing's arms, her head was turned to the side, and her gaze fell precisely on Zhou Weiqing's left wrist. What she saw was a rose-red gem, extremely similar to a ruby. It was said to be extremely similar to a ruby because its color was almost identical to that of a ruby, yet it had distinctly different characteristics. On that rose-red gem, there was a remarkably vivid light streak, which was incredibly bright, resembling the slit eyes of a cat. Indeed, this was a characteristic of cat's eye gemstones.
