Chapter 98 Hidden Dangers (Bonus Chapter for the Great Master, Immortal of Arts)
【Divine Illumination White Ape Heart-Mind Pill - Ultimate】
[A vast dream spanning three thousand realms, divine illumination illuminating the physical body. Using the Divine Illumination Returning to the Source White Ape Overturning Python Fist, consuming this will directly lead to perfection. Remember, when consuming, place the tip of your tongue against the roof of your mouth and contemplate your own body.]
Current lifespan: 57 years and 124 days
The prompt is similar to the previous one, except for the addition of the word "extreme".
Ding Yi was taken aback when he saw the prompt in front of him.
At the same time, Ding Yi also saw his remaining lifespan. After a brief estimation, he realized that he had gained about 45 years of lifespan in that underground cave.
Immediately afterwards, Ding Yi wiped the words off the porcelain bottle, tore up a copy of the visualization diagram of the Crossing the Evil Technique and put it inside, along with a Qi and Blood Pill, and wrote the words "Completely and perfectly in harmony with the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Crossing the Evil Technique after taking it."
Then, new entries appeared in Ding Yi's field of vision.
[Currently, the required lifespan for enhancement is 135 years and 71 days. Would you like to enhance it?]
? ? ? ?
Ding Yi looked completely bewildered.
Who am I? Where am I?
Why is it that the White Ape Fist only takes a little over ten years to go from beginner to mastery, while the Exorcising Demon Technique takes ten times that?!
Ding Yi felt like a clown at this moment. He thought he had become rich overnight, but now it seemed that he was probably just a frog in a well.
"This is troublesome. This 'Crossing the Fiend Technique' seems to be far superior to the 'White Ape Turning Python Fist.' Let's take it one step at a time."
Ding Yi shook his head with some regret, then erased the writing and changed "perfect" to "small success".
This reduced the required lifespan for enhancement to 18 years and 13 days.
Ding Yi glanced at the number, then gritted his teeth and chose to enhance it.
【Divine Illumination of the Nine Heavens: Heart-Shattering Pill】
[Through the vast dream of three thousand realms, I transcend evil and become one with my body. By using divine illumination to return to the ten directions and transcend evil, consuming this medicine will directly lead to minor mastery. Remember, when consuming this medicine, place the tip of your tongue against the roof of your mouth and contemplate yourself.]
Current lifespan: 40 years and 66 days
Come again! !
Ding Yi then added a Qi and Blood Pill and a visualization diagram of the Evergreen Technique, and then wrote the entry "Completely and perfectly aligned with the Evergreen Technique".
[Currently, the required lifespan for enhancement is 340 years and 98 days. Enhance now?]
"Fuck your mother!"
Ding Yi was completely stunned. When he saw the number, he even thought the system had malfunctioned.
He could barely understand why it would take 135 years to fully upgrade the "Crossing the Fiend Technique" to its highest level, but this "Evergreen Skill" was just a basic martial art!
Ding Yi was somewhat frustrated, but the data was generated automatically by the system, and there was nothing he could do about it, so he had to give up the idea of strengthening the Evergreen Technique.
There's no way around it. It takes 340 years to achieve perfection, and at least several decades to achieve minor perfection. That's simply beyond my current capacity to bear.
Thinking of this, Ding Yi cursed and then turned his attention to "Flowing Clouds Crossing" and "Ding Yi's Knife Technique".
Fortunately, the last two martial arts techniques require 19 years and 18 years to be fully mastered, respectively. Ding Yi gritted his teeth and chose "yes" for both.
Ding Yi, who had nearly 70 years left to live yesterday, now has only 3 years left to live, constantly teetering on the brink of death.
But this all-in bet directly led to a rapid increase in Ding Yi's strength.
Moreover, this improvement was not an enhancement of soft power like realm, but a real improvement in martial arts skills. This made Ding Yi wonder how strong he really was.
In the following days, Ding Yi continued to go to the patrol office for his shift as usual. At night, he would use Qi and Blood Pills to strengthen his internal organs and then use Yin-Yang Fiend to temper them. Time passed quickly.
What puzzled Ding Yi was that the Yin-Yang Fiends continued to appear mixed with the Golden Light Fiends these days, but the people in the inner city seemed to ignore it, as if it were a matter of course.
But the more this happened, the stronger Ding Yi's unease became, and he sometimes even had the idea of leaving Qingfeng County.
The ninth day of October.
As agreed, Ding Yi arrived at the tea stall in Ma Liu Fang outside the city and sat there waiting for Xu Nian's arrival.
Before long, a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion came to the tea stall. He sat down at the tea stall with his head down, cautiously looked around, and then tapped a secret signal with his fingers.
Upon hearing the familiar code, Ding Yi's pupils contracted slightly, and then his gaze involuntarily turned to the person who had arrived.
It was obvious that the person who came was far different from Xu Nian in both height and build. Even if he was wearing a human skin mask, Ding Yi would not believe that the person who came was Xu Nian in disguise.
After a moment's thought, Ding Yi also stretched out his fingers and began to tap rhythmically.
The sallow-faced man quickly noticed Ding Yi, but did not come over immediately. Instead, he continued to drink the tea that had just been brewed in front of him.
After a while, someone else came to the seat in front of him. Only then did he get up with his tea, walk around the tea stall for a bit, and then sit down in front of Ding Yi.
Where is Xu Nian?
Ding Yi looked at the man who sat down in front of him and asked in a low voice.
The scene seemed somewhat familiar, except this time the person asking the questions was Ding Yi.
"Old Eight is dead."
The man spoke his first words.
"He relied too much on your evil-dispelling talisman and died at the hands of the Xuanji Realm demon from the Seven Absolutes Palace."
The man sighed.
“There are rules for merchants. No matter what, Lao Ba’s death has nothing to do with you. You don’t need to worry. Even if I become your contact person in the future, we can still trade.”
"However, the channel for the Seven Absolutes Palace statue fragments has been cut off. If you need anything else, you can also contact us."
As the man spoke, he looked at Ding Yi.
Ding Yi narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this, then shook his head.
"Since there's nothing I want, then forget it."
"There's no need to be so definitive. I'll still wait for you here for half an hour every month from now on."
The man said with a smile, then suddenly changed the subject:
"In addition, as a token of our sincerity, we will provide you with a message free of charge."
"Your evil-dispelling talisman has piqued the interest of the Seven Absolutes Palace. They've heard that the Yin-Yang Palace's envoy is in Qingfeng County, and they're on their way now."
"Oh, is it so?"
Ding Yi's expression remained unchanged, but he raised an eyebrow.
"So, keep a low profile lately, or go into hiding if necessary."
As he spoke, the man prepared to get up.
"Wait, where are they now?"
Ding Yi grabbed the man's arm and asked expressionlessly.
"I don't know about that, but judging from the time, it should be about two or three days before we get here."
The man smiled, then gently pulled his hand away from Ding Yi's. He then dropped a few coins on the table, got up, and left the tea stall, quickly blending into the crowd on the street outside.
At the tea stall, Ding Yi touched the teacup in his hand, then sighed softly.
After drinking the tea in his cup in one gulp, Ding Yi dropped the copper coin, slowly stood up, wiped his mouth, and turned to leave.
