Chapter 411 Golden Cicada
In the quiet side hall, Ding Yi stood quietly in the center of the main hall, looking at the materials in front of him that had turned into a pile of ashes, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
In the past few days, he has been using his lifespan to strengthen these five elemental treasures day and night, which has made the cultivation speed of the Heaven-Mending Scripture comparable to riding a rocket. The progress of each breath is equivalent to several days of cultivation for other cultivators.
Of course, such a terrifying speed is inseparable from the support of a long lifespan.
Ding Yi used over three thousand years of his lifespan just to strengthen these materials, which was unimaginable in the past.
Ding Yi's current lifespan is mainly composed of two parts.
The first part is the mother stone he wears. Now, the evil energy that the mother stone provides to Ding Yi every day is still increasing. It can be seen that the chess pieces that Ding Yi left in the lower realm are still building the statue according to his orders.
At this point, the mother stone could provide Ding Yi with about thirty years of lifespan per day, and this rate was slowly increasing.
The second source is naturally the lifespan benefits brought by Huang Zi.
At this moment, Ding Yi can gain thirty years of lifespan in a single day just by relying on this yellow seed, and this rate is still increasing rapidly.
Of course, the benefits of Huang Zi's lifespan are after deducting costs. It can be said that Huang Zi completed the layout effect of several years in the lower realm in just a few days, and the upper limit is astonishing, which can be considered extremely profitable.
Yesterday, after returning, Zhu Jiu Jie told Ding Yi that there was still no news from the depths of the Chaotic Land. Chang Qing Zi's information was shrouded in mystery, but many people speculated that Chang Qing Zi was still alive, otherwise the members of the Immortal Alliance should have left there long ago.
"Huang Zi's channels have been opened, so there's no need for him to stay here any longer."
Ding Yi looked at the empty surroundings and muttered to himself.
The Blood Tower's probing and the attitudes of the other demon palaces in Chaos City made Ding Yi realize that as long as he existed, his life would never be easy.
Huang Zi is making so much money, and at a rate that exceeds Ding Yi's expectations, so every minute he stays here increases his danger.
The people of the Demon Palace are not philanthropists. If he wakes up tomorrow and the Venerable One descends and forces him to reveal the method of making Huangzi, then he will have no way to escape.
Ding Yi guessed that the reason why the people of the Demon Palace hadn't broken ties yet was probably because this was just the beginning. On one hand, the Blood Tower was trying to decipher Huang Zi's secret formula, and on the other hand, they didn't know if Ding Yi could make an even better Ascension Ointment.
Ding Yi stroked the stubble on his chin, his eyes narrowed slightly, and an idea gradually surfaced in his mind.
To escape, you must have a clever escape technique; if there's no opportunity, then create one!
He summoned Pigsy and handed him a note.
Zhu Jiu Jie picked up the slips of paper and looked at them, but found no words on them. He didn't find it strange at the time, but he had never questioned Ding Yi's words before, so he happily agreed.
After Zhu Jiujie walked out of the side hall where Ding Yi was, the Blood Tower guards who had been watching the area quietly followed him.
Although this pig demon spends his days eating and drinking, the Blood Tower's guards never dare to relax their vigilance.
After all, the person living in the side hall was the most important person in their Blood Tower branch. They had even heard that the headquarters had sent a master expert to ensure the person's absolute safety.
Pigsy was completely unaware that someone was secretly following him. He jogged straight to his favorite teahouse, eager to hear the day's gossip.
Once they arrived at the teahouse, Zhu Jiu Jie found a seat and sat down. In fact, this Chaos City was a melting pot of all sorts of people, and there were quite a few monsters like Zhu Jiu Jie.
Several bodyguards followed Zhu Jiu Jie into the teahouse. They sat down with normal expressions, but their eyes inadvertently swept in the direction of Zhu Jiu Jie.
The teahouse was packed with wandering cultivators who had come from the chaotic land. They sat in the teahouse, shouting and boasting about their experiences on the trip.
Pigsy laughed and shouted along with them, seemingly there just to listen to their boasting.
The guards remained calm upon seeing this. In fact, it was not surprising at all that this pig spirit frequently visited the teahouse.
Soon, Zhu Jiu Jie seemed to feel a little tired. He got up, threw some soul crystals on the table, and then left while humming a little tune.
Upon seeing this, several guards quickly got up and followed, their goal being to ensure that Pigsy did not disappear from their sight.
Just as the guards left the teahouse with Zhu Jiu Jie, the waiter came over and started clearing away the tables.
The few soul crystals on Zhu Jiu Jie's table were quite conspicuous, so Xiao Er naturally chose to collect them immediately.
But to Xiao Er's surprise, as soon as he took those soul crystals into his hand, he felt the things in his hand tremble. When he opened his hand again, he found that the soul crystals had turned into a piece of paper!
"That damned pig demon! It dares to run away even with a drop of tea!!"
The waiter screamed and glanced at the piece of paper casually.
This glance made him pause for a moment, then he quietly took the note in his hand, continued cursing silently, and then hurriedly walked towards the back of the teahouse.
Behind every shop in the city lies the shadow of the Seven Demon Palaces, and behind this teahouse lies the White Bone Tower, one of those Seven Demon Palaces.
This is also why Ding Yi made Zhu Jiu Jie choose this teahouse.
At this moment, inside the Blood-Drawing Hall.
Ding Yi stood in the courtyard, looking at the two great suns hanging high in the sky outside, his expression calm, as if he was waiting for something.
At that moment, he calculated the time and felt it was about time, so he turned around and walked into the hall, and began to push over the furniture one by one.
He roughly opened the box in the bedroom, revealing the soul crystals inside, which were wrapped in golden silk.
In just a few moments, the once tidy house was turned into a mess, as if it had been burgled.
After doing all this, Ding Yi calmly went to the main hall, sat down in a chair, made himself a cup of tea, and enjoyed the tranquility before the chaos.
Just a short while later, a loud bang suddenly came from outside the main hall.
The entire side hall shook, followed by Bai Xiang's scream:
"Xiao Bufan! You're insane!! This is the Blood Tower!"
"Hehehe, Fairy White, today I'm not just going to take on the Blood Tower branch, I'm going to storm the headquarters too!!"
As Xiao Bufan's voice faded, a series of explosions echoed outside the courtyard once again.
The defensive array surrounding the courtyard began to shake violently, and the flickering light mixed with the sunlight shone on Ding Yi's face, causing him to squint his eyes contentedly.
He pulled out the quicksand diagram from his pocket, glanced at it casually, and then a chilling smile appeared on his lips.
"Come on, let me see just how much you're willing to take action against me, Ding Yi?"
