Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1070 - 193:

Tan Wenbin glanced at Run Sheng: "Fine, you coax her yourself."

Yin Meng took a deep breath, trying her best to appear more sunny and positive. She didn't want her low spirits to affect others, nor did she want to come off as a resentful woman.

"I believe I can figure out my next path."

Run Sheng comforted, "Xiao Yuan will help you think of it, you don't need to waste your effort."

Yin Meng: "..."

Tan Wenbin teased, "Run Sheng, if you can't marry a wife in the future, you really can't blame Mr. Shan for squandering your bride price."

At this time, "Lin Shuyou" finished adjusting below and once again attracted the attention of everyone above.

Right now, the three of them could only watch the show. Going down there would only create more chaos.

"Lin Shuyou" didn't wait and immediately inserted needles into himself, his aura climbing subsequently.

Then, it rushed towards the opposite "kindred" that hadn't yet taken shape.

The White Crane Child flickered and blocked the way, both sides crashing brutally into each other.

Unlike before, the child knew there was a power gap between him and the opponent, so he tried to avoid direct confrontation. But this time, he couldn't; he had to protect the thing behind him.

After several exchanges, old wounds on the child's body were joined by new ones. This kind of combat intensity was only maintainable because he was constantly using his power to heal Lin Shuyou's injuries; otherwise, he would've long been unable to hold on.

Other Divination Children, seeing Lin Shuyou receiving such treatment now, might shed tears from envy. In the past, Yin Gods never cherished the bodies of Divination Children, only focusing on aggressive combat once possessed, let alone using their precious energy to help heal the Divination Child's body.

But this support obviously couldn't last long; the child was already showing signs of exhaustion.

He was very unwilling, really wanting to be like this fake on the other side and insert talisman needles into himself.

Unconsciously, perhaps because he had been needled too many times, the child no longer had the initial resistance toward inserting needles.

After struggling to fend off for a while, he successfully completed the first phase of the mission, and from the pool behind, a human form rose.

Li Zhiyuan spread his hands, splitting open the white cocoon, revealing a very traditional Masked Man, with a black mask.

With time running short, and Zhao Yi standing right behind him watching, Li Zhiyuan didn't adjust his face.

The child felt relieved, the backup had finally "hatched"!

He instinctively withheld his strength, intending to retreat and adjust, while "Lin Shuyou" didn't continue to entangle him and turned instead to the freshly molded Masked Man.

However, with just one punch, Li Zhiyuan's Masked Man was sent flying.

The child's vertical pupils froze; had he not known who crafted this Masked Man, he might've cursed directly:

What kind of junk did you create!

Fortunately, since it was molded from five black shadows as raw material, the body was solid, not collapsing after the punch.

Plus, with the child promptly returning to the battle, bracing himself to continue holding it off, "Lin Shuyou" didn't get the chance to dismember the new kindred.

Zhao Yi: "What's going on?"

He had just prepared for the increased computational load, but the teenager hadn't utilized it.

Li Zhiyuan: "There was a slight issue with compatibility."

The underlying logic of the Nuo Puppetry Technique was mostly grasped by the boy, hence he successfully created the Masked Man.

But in practical application, because the being in the coffin followed a "Why not eat minced meat" approach, the boy needed to first sort out his thoughts.

First-time learning also being the first-time application, encountering some issues was normal. Besides, this wasn't really an issue, just a slightly delayed reaction.

Zhao Yi: "How much longer?"

Mr. Zhao had noticed that their official was struggling to sustain.

Li Zhiyuan: "Almost there."

Zhao Yi was already accustomed to the young man's pace.

"Um, once this matter is over, I could lend you my Zhao Family's Secret Technique to have a look."

Li Zhiyuan stayed silent.

Zhao Yi continued, "But after you're done with it and made notes, you have to return it. With borrowing and returning, borrowing again won't be difficult."

The Zhao Family's secret technique, called "Zhao's Heart Inquiry Technique," was, like "Qin's Jiao Observation Method" and "Liu's Qi Observation Technique," an orthodox foundation of the family. Subsequent derived skills, Body Refinement Techniques, even Arrays, all used it as the underlying logic.

Mastering a family's secret technique allowed for more effective learning of other methods from that family, so it was extremely precious. Even during past internal family inheritances, lower-ranking members would only receive phased instruction to prevent leaks.

Previously, while observing Li Zhiyuan maneuver the Array at the inn, the effortless linking of Feng Shui elements into the formation left a deep impression on him. He had suspected then that this couldn't be just "Liu's Qi Observation Technique".

The Liu Family specialized in Daoist Feng Shui but could never achieve such graceful execution, like flowing clouds and writing in ink on paper.

Now witnessing Li Zhiyuan modifying the Nuo Puppetry Technique live, Zhao Yi concluded: this young man possesses such capability!

He even suspected that the Liu Family's elderly matriarch saw this potential, hence taking the youth under her tutelage, going so far as to let him shoulder two families' Dragon King's Court.

Encountering such a genius, any family would make exceptions to induct and cherish him, even if the Qin and Liu Families hadn't declined; the same choice would surely be made.

This guy, even if he doesn't travel, simply staying home reading and editing books his entire life, could elevate an entire family sect.

Moreover, with such capability, he could help the family sect recruit and absorb vassals, such as the official fighting in the field now—his Asking Road Incense had long burned out, yet he was still in Divination state.
