With only 8 years to live at the start, I'm going all in.

Chapter 407 Entering the Trap Voluntarily

Regarding the sale of the Yellow Crane Skull, Ding Yi wanted to manage it himself, but after a moment's thought, he realized it was unrealistic.

Just as Guan Buyu said, the interests involved are too deep, and with his current strength, he is simply not capable of handling it.

With the Blood Tower as a barrier, his troubles will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

"Then I won't bother Master Guan any longer."

Ding Yi smiled slightly at Guan Butong, then left the pavilion on his own.

Guan Butong didn't dare to linger for a moment, and hurriedly headed towards the branch office with the box of Yellow Crane Skulls in hand.

Guan Butong was very efficient; just one day later, he personally brought a wooden box to the back mountain.

Ding Yi, who opened the stone door, first glanced at Guan Butong, and then his gaze fell on the box Guan Butong was carrying.

"I've brought the items, Pharmacist Ding."

Guan Butong smiled and shook the blood-stained box in his hand.

Upon seeing this, Ding Yi's expression remained unchanged; he merely nodded slightly and continued:

"Master Guan acted swiftly. How was it? Are you satisfied with the effect on Huang Helou?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Butong cautiously glanced around before smiling slightly and saying:

"I've come here specifically to discuss this matter. I request that Pharmacist Ding come with me to the branch office immediately, as this place is no longer suitable for you."

Ding Yi understood Guan Butong's meaning upon hearing this.

Once Huang Helou is exposed, his apothecary living in such a cave in the back mountains will probably be snatched away by other members of the Demon Palace in the next second.

Therefore, Ding Yi's safety must be guaranteed, and the safest place in the entire city is naturally the branch of the Blood Tower.

Ding Yi naturally had no objection. He nodded and then said to Guan Butong:

"Wait a moment, I'll tidy up."

Then, Ding Yi shouted into the cave: "Pig Nine Precepts!"

Upon hearing Ding Yi's shout, a short figure hurriedly ran out of the cave.

Pigsy was holding a large flowerpot filled with various small flowers, which he had carefully cultivated over the past few days.

"Boss, they're here! That's all!"

Pigsy shouted as he ran.

"Let's go, Immortal Master Guan."

Ding Yi saw that Zhu Jiu Jie had arrived beside him before speaking to Guan Butong.

Guan Butong stared in astonishment at the pig demon, finding it hard to believe that someone would raise such a creature, especially a top-tier pharmacist like Ding Hai.

However, he naturally didn't say anything, but just smiled and then said:

"That's all?"

Ding Yi said:

"Having grown accustomed to poverty, one naturally has little to offer."

Guan Butong chuckled and led Ding Yi toward Chaos City.

Since the last incident involving Zhu Wanyin, the city lord of Chaos City has changed from Hua Nongyue to another real person.

Few people seem to know the origins of this person, but the only certainty is that he is extremely powerful and comes from Wangyue Tower, one of the Seven Demon Palaces.

The Blood Tower's branch in Chaos City was located on the outskirts of the City Lord's Mansion, so at this time, the Blood Tower branch could be said to be extremely safe.

The two of them, along with Zhu Jiu Jie, encountered no trouble along the way. In fact, all information about Ding Yi at this moment had been set to top secret, and only elders of the Blood Tower True Person Realm had the authority to access it.

Upon arriving at the Blood Tower branch, the two encountered a person in front of the branch's main hall.

The man was dressed in a blue robe, and his silver hair was combed back as if it had been coated with wax, shimmering in the sunlight. Coupled with his energetic eyes, it was impossible to tell his exact age.

Upon seeing this person, Guan Butong immediately bowed and said:

"I've met the palace master."

Ding Yi was taken aback upon hearing this, only then realizing that the person in front of him was Gu Feng, the hall master of the Blood Tower branch.

Gu Feng smiled and waved his hand, then looked at Ding Yi and said with a smile:

"This must be our genius pharmacist, Ding Hai, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yi slightly cupped his hands and said:

"I dare not claim to be a genius; it is I who am."

Upon hearing this, Gu Feng then said:

"In that case, I will trouble you to stay here from now on, Pharmacist Ding. I will do my best to fulfill any request you may have."

"However, the outside world is very dangerous for Pharmacist Ding. I hope Pharmacist Ding understands this."

Gu Feng spoke in a calm tone, but anyone present could hear the meaning behind his words.

Seeing this, Guan Butong was worried that Ding Yi would become resistant.

After all, many pharmacists who spend years making Ascension Ointment are not very bright.

To Ding Yi's surprise, Ding Yi simply smiled faintly and did not refuse, which made Ding Yi look at Ding Yi in a new light.

He's adaptable, capable of making pharmaceuticals, and a truly talented individual.

Unfortunately, he didn't seem to understand his situation.

Guan Butong sighed inwardly, and then said:

"Palace Master, I have brought the person here. From now on, let's proceed according to the established procedures."

After saying this, he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to the two men, then turned and left.

After Guan Butong left, Gu Feng led Ding Yi into the main hall and walked all the way to the deepest part of the hall.

This is a side hall, and it is quite large.

Several young girls dressed in transparent gauze robes were already standing in the hall with their heads down. Their figures and complexions were all top-notch. Although they did not raise their heads, they must all be stunning beauties.

Behind these women stood several muscular male servants, each with rosy lips and white teeth, their eyes gleaming with seductive lust as they looked at Ding Yi; they were clearly trained men.

Ding Yi glanced at the men and women, then looked away, seemingly uninterested.

Gu Feng, who was standing to the side, frowned upon seeing this.

Ding Hai is neither interested in women nor men, so is he only passionate about alchemy?

"Pharmacist Ding, this will be your residence from now on. Don't worry, unless the Venerable One descends, no one can harm you here."

Although Gu Feng was puzzled, he still spoke to Ding Yi.

Ding Yi then raised his hand and said:

"Please take these people away, Lord. I only need him to help me."

As Ding Yi spoke, he pointed to Zhu Jiu Jie, who was following behind him.

Gu Feng's eyes twitched upon hearing this.

The pharmacist is still the pervert after all. So many handsome men and beautiful women are not as good as a pig, right? Fine, fine!

However, since it was Ding Yi's request, he naturally didn't ask any more questions and simply waved his hand, taking the whole group of people away.

Finally, Ding Yi had some peace and quiet.

"Boss, those girls were so pretty! Why didn't you keep one?"

Seeing that Gu Feng had left, Zhu Jiu Jie asked Ding Yi with some annoyance.

Ding Yi glanced at Zhu Jiu Jie, who was drooling all over the ground, and said speechlessly:

"Why learn to flirt with beautiful women like your ancestors?! Get lost!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiu Jie was startled and quickly ran into the main hall, where he began to fiddle with his little flower.
