Chapter 158 I Improved Myself Through Small Efforts
Zhou Ruoxu looked at Ding Yi and found him increasingly pleasing to the eye.
Such dangerous work, yet they rush to do it; leaders love fools like that, oh no, they love talented people.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ruoxu immediately said:
"Everyone has seen Li Xiangzhu's contributions this time. Don't worry, your reward will definitely be substantial!"
"As for this kind of mission, everyone wants to go, so I'm in a difficult position."
At this point, Zhou Ruoxu glanced at Ding Yi somewhat guiltily, but seeing that his expression was normal, she feared he might change his mind, so she quickly added:
"However, I've decided that this matter will henceforth be entrusted to all of you sentient beings!"
Upon hearing this, the other elders in the hall exchanged knowing glances, all of them seeing the smile in each other's eyes.
This Li Baozheng is some kind of simpleton, I don't know where he came from, he's actually become addicted to detecting external evil spirits, this is truly fantastic news!!
"As for the manuals, I'll make the decision. You can choose one from the fifth floor and three from the fourth floor!"
"In addition, I will reward you with three hundred taels of silver, ten bolts of silk, and one Celestial Blood Elixir!"
As Zhou Ruoxu finished speaking, he immediately took out the token from his waist and tossed it to Ding Yi.
Ding Yi took the token, rubbed it in his hand for a moment, and then grinned, saying:
"Thank you very much, Sect Master!!"
After the meeting, Ding Yi did not go directly to the Hundred Secrets Pavilion to select a secret manual, but returned directly to his room.
He gained a lot from this investigation and needs to organize it properly.
Those three demonic cultivators at the Xuanji Realm alone provided Ding Yi with a total of 120 years of lifespan, and the miscellaneous demonic cultivators provided him with a total of over 70 years of lifespan, which adds up to 190 years.
Ding Yi absorbed one of the last two blood-red statues and kept most of the other as a reward, thus gaining a total of 52 years of lifespan.
On this trip, Ding Yi gained a full 242 years of lifespan!
The feeling of his lifespan increasing dramatically gave Ding Yi a long-lost sense of security, but the mysterious assassin he encountered at the end also made him realize a strange crisis.
Ding Yi understood that any sense of crisis stemmed from a lack of strength. Now that he had enough lifespan, it was time to improve himself!
After returning to his room, Ding Yi, as usual, took out the Flowing Sand Map from his pocket and glanced at it. After confirming that there were no problems, he then took out his token and the one that Zhou Ruoxu had given him earlier, wrapped them all in a cotton quilt, and threw them in a corner of the bedroom.
Finally, Ding Yi sat down at the desk and took out his writing brush, ink, paper, inkstone, and Qi-blood pills.
Ding Yi first wrote the words "Compatible with the Nine Extremes Blood Exchange Technique, No Side Effects, After Taking It, You Can Reach the Ninth Extreme from the Seventh Level" on the porcelain bottle containing the Qi and Blood Pill, and then slowly waited.
A short while later, a line of small characters appeared in Ding Yi's field of vision.
[Currently, the required lifespan for enhancement is 99 years and 12 days. Enhance now?]
It's actually gotten less?
Ding Yi was stunned when he saw the lifespan figure.
He clearly remembered that the lifespan required for the last two stages of the Nine Extremes Blood Exchange Technique was at least 100 years, approaching 120 years.
But now it seems like more than a decade or so is missing?
But after a moment's thought, Ding Yi seemed to realize the reason.
During this period, he absorbed Yin Yang Sha every night to practice his skills. His seventh level of blood exchange was not stagnant, but was progressing at a normal pace.
In retrospect, it is precisely these daily, incremental improvements that have led to today's tremendous success!
I, Ding Yi, am no less than anyone else!
Ding Yi was filled with emotion, and then silently chose yes.
The porcelain bottle trembled slightly for a moment, then calmed down.
Ding Yi poured out the pills from the porcelain bottle and skillfully tossed them into his mouth...
After an unknown amount of time, Ding Yi suddenly woke up from his chair.
Still seemingly not recovered from the divine state he had just been in, Ding Yi subconsciously circulated his internal energy.
At that moment, a rosy glow suddenly emanated from the top of Ding Yi's head, weaving into a pattern of changing light and shadow above him.
The pattern sometimes transforms into a giant ape, sometimes into a soaring eagle, and sometimes into a bronze bell...
The numerous illusions all originated from Ding Yi's five perfect fist techniques.
Finally, these illusions vanished abruptly, disappearing back into the top of Ding Yi's head, and the oppressive atmosphere in the room returned to normal.
"Once the Blood Exchange is perfected, the next step is to break through the Blood Exchange Limit and reach the Primordial Aperture."
Ding Yi felt a little excited when he thought of this, but he had hidden the book "The Method of Returning to the Origin of the Heavenly Aperture" in his hut. He got up and went out to check the sky, only to find that it was already evening.
However, as the Elephant Lord, Ding Yi was naturally unrestrained in entering and leaving the Myriad Elephant Gate. He swaggered out of the room and headed towards the outside of the Myriad Elephant Gate's outpost.
Along the way, everyone who saw Ding Yi stopped to greet him, and Ding Yi would nod slightly in response.
Upon reaching the gate, the guards saw Ding Yi and immediately laughed:
"Where is Li Xiangzhu going to have some fun?"
"Go to hell! I went to a brothel, and you're asking me about that?!"
Ding Yi glared at the man, making him feel somewhat guilty.
Ding Yi then swaggered out of the outpost and headed towards the brothel.
On the way, Ding Yi took advantage of the crowd to enter a roadside shop. Inside, he tore off his human skin mask in the outhouse, took off his outer clothes and wrapped them around his waist, then pulled out a coat from his pocket and put it on before coming out of the shop again.
After changing his clothes, Ding Yi drove around the road a few more times before finally arriving at his little house before sunset.
As the courtyard gate opened, Ding Yi stepped into the courtyard. After checking the strands of hair he had left behind, he returned to the house with satisfaction.
I haven't been back for several days, and the place is still exactly as I left it, except that there is still a large hole above the bedroom, and the walls around it still bear many patterns left by the rampaging force of the internal energy.
However, Ding Yi paid no attention to any of this. He took out the book "The Return to the Origin of the Heavenly Aperture" from under the stone bricks in the kitchen, then went to the table in the front room, lit an oil lamp, and began to continue strengthening it.
He had previously read and studied this book, "The Method of Returning to the Origin of the Heavenly Aperture".
The warriors of this Great Liang refer to those before the Yuanqiao Realm as the Mortal Realm, and those after the Yuanqiao Realm as the Transcendent Realm.
This is enough to show that the Yuanqiao Realm is a huge watershed.
This is because once one enters the Yuanqiao (primordial aperture), a martial artist can refine his blood and qi into strands of essence and store them in the acupoint, using this essence to nourish the Niwan Palace in his forehead and strengthen his spirit.
This process naturally consists of two steps.
The first step is to refine blood into essence, and the second step is to refine essence and nourish spirit.
The human body has a variety of acupoints, some of which are not suitable for storing vital energy, while others are extremely suitable.
Therefore, the Yuanqiao Secret Method is a method for exploring the acupoints in the body and storing essence and qi.
The higher the level of this secret technique, the more acupoints it involves, the more essence it stores, and the greater the success rate of refining the spirit in the future, naturally making the process faster.
Therefore, there is the saying that one orifice is a secret, and ten orifices are a spirit.
The book "The Method of Returning to the Origin of the Heavenly Acupoints" that Ding Yi is holding at this moment involves the development and application of 12 acupoints in the body, and can only be considered a basic secret method of the primordial acupoints.
At this moment, Ding Yi looked at the secret manual under the lamplight and sighed slightly. Then he spread out the paper and began to copy it.
...
Meanwhile, inside a secret room.
Five figures sat around a rectangular table, several meters apart from each other.
"The stronghold of the Flesh and Blood Sect has been destroyed."
One of the figures suddenly spoke.
"The Yin-Yang Palace made the move?"
Someone asked in confusion.
"No, it was done by an elephant master named Li Baozheng from the Myriad Manifestations Sect."
The man shook his head.
"This is not good news; our plans will have to be postponed again."
Are there any other shrines to choose from?
A woman's voice rang out.
"Yes, but they are difficult to reach."
"Let's make contact first. Also, we need to deal with Li Baozheng's problem."
The woman's voice continued.
"give it to me."
The figure who had been silent among the five slowly spoke.
