Chapter 408 A Tragedy Caused by a Single Ascension Ointment
At some unknown time, a kind of ascension ointment called Yellow Crane Skull suddenly appeared in the ointment shop of Chaos City.
This ascension paste has a strange appearance, but tastes excellent, is easy to carry, and has an interesting way of being inhaled.
Simply light the head with an open flame, place the tail end in your mouth and gently inhale, and you will experience a unique sensation.
But none of these are the most important things. The most important thing is that this thing can actually resist the resentment and evil spirits lurking in the body. This is an explosive innovation.
It can be said that within half a cup of tea's time after Huang Helou appeared, the entire ointment shop was packed with cultivators who had rushed over.
They all asked to smoke a Yellow Crane Head cigarette, even if it cost a lot, just to see if it was as miraculous as rumored.
Of course, this spectacular scene was inseparable from the Blood Tower's behind-the-scenes support.
At this moment, outside the plaster shop, the two people stood side by side, looking at the crowd on the street who were already in a frenzy, both with smiles on their faces.
"As expected, the appearance of the Yellow Crane Skull has captured at least half of the business."
Gu Feng said calmly.
"The Palace Master underestimated the Yellow Crane Skull. This thing is small and convenient. It can not only be used for cultivation but also to digest resentment and evil spirits. It is truly an essential item for home and travel."
"I think our business will triple in less than half a month."
Guan Butong said with a smile.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Feng raised an eyebrow; even he was quite surprised by this number.
He looked at the increasingly crowded street and noticed several furtive faces. He then slowly said:
"Keep an eye on Ding Hai. Also, chop up those troublemakers and hang their bodies outside the Blood Tower so some people can see the rules of the Blood Tower."
Upon hearing this, Guan Butong smiled and nodded. Even if Gu Feng hadn't told him, he would have known how to do it.
Meanwhile, dozens of miles away at the Blood Tower branch, Ding Yi was sitting calmly in a side room.
He looked at the notification that was scrolling rapidly in front of him, and a strange smile immediately appeared on his lips.
[You have refined a trace of mixed evil energy, your lifespan increases by 0.02 days.]
[You have refined a trace of mixed evil energy, your lifespan increases by 0.03 days.]
...
"Has it started yet?"
Ding Yi looked at these completely different prompts while simultaneously calculating the costs in his mind.
At this moment, Ding Yi also began to have a more intuitive understanding of the so-called evil energy.
Firstly, the worship of gods by humans and animals involves raising humans in captivity and obtaining various kinds of malevolent energy from them through the idols.
This malevolent energy is actually the seven emotions and six desires of these people. However, because the methods are relatively direct and the resentment carried is also relatively large, people in the lower realm who worship gods can often generate a considerable lifespan by killing just one person.
Following this, once these worshippers reach the ascension stage through cultivation, people from the divine palace will personally descend to harvest their divine souls.
These guys' souls were already controlled when they first started worshipping the gods, so they were often helpless when it came to the harvest.
However, after these gods have gone through the seven emotions and six desires of humans and animals, most of the evil energy inside them is washed away. This is the core reason why people in the upper realm want to develop the worship of gods in the lower realm.
They need to use worship to filter out these resentments.
Therefore, although these people from the upper realms have high cultivation levels, the resentment they carry is not actually that strong. Only those who have cultivated for thousands of years carry a considerable amount of malevolent energy within their bodies.
These are all deductions that Ding Yi has made himself in recent years.
Simply put, it's a bottom-up filtering process.
People in the upper realms filter out the resentment and evil spirits generated by humans and animals through worshipping gods, thereby maximizing their absorption of the energy generated by their seven emotions and six desires for cultivation.
The method of making this Ascension Ointment is naturally to obtain the seven emotions and six desires within the bodies of those who have ascended to immortality through refining them. However, inevitably, this method involves inhaling more malevolent energy, which is extremely harmful to the body.
Therefore, Ding Yi incorporated the evil-repelling powder into the Ascension Paste, so that when the cultivators in the upper realm inhaled the Ascension Paste, he could refine the evil energy in their bodies, thereby achieving the purpose of reaping their lifespan.
At this point, although the lifespan value in each prompt is very small, it is enough for one mouthful.
Even if these immortals inhale deeply, a single Yellow Crane Skull would allow them to take more than a dozen inhalations.
In this way, one Yellow Crane Tower cigarette can provide a lifespan of 0.2 to 0.3 seconds, so one box provides a lifespan of two to three days.
That's a terrifying number!
One can imagine that once the Yellow Crane Tower is promoted, with a daily consumption of 10,000 boxes, he could gain about 82 years of lifespan per day, which would be 2400 years per month!
Moreover, if this number is multiplied by two, Ding Yi will be able to lie still and won't need to risk killing people anymore. He will have a lot of lifespan to gain every month, which is enough for him to squander even after deducting the cost of strengthening.
"I never imagined that I, Ding Yi, would open up the market in this way. Can this be considered cultural export?"
Ding Yi, who was sitting on the ground, chuckled and then waved his hand, instantly sucking the items placed in front of him into his hand.
These were all the Five Elements materials that he had asked Blood Tower to find, including some rare treasures, which Blood Tower had willingly sent over.
Ding Yi did not hesitate. At this moment, he still had more than 6,000 years of lifespan left, all of which he had obtained from Zhu Wanyin in this wave.
If not now, when?! Strengthen! Strengthen!
Ding Yi enhanced all the materials in front of him, then clapped his hands, and the materials immediately floated around his body, allowing him to instantly enter a state of cultivation.
The appearance of Huang Helou was like a whirlwind, turning the entire Chaos City upside down.
In just three days, Huang Helou seized the Ascension Ointment market, and for a time, people could be seen leaning against walls smoking Huang Helou Ointment all over the streets of Chaos City.
Meanwhile, the other ointment shops under the management of the Demon Palace have seen their business plummet during this period, with some even experiencing a loss of customers.
At this moment, inside a palace in the city.
"Snapped!"
With a loud bang, a figure was sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground.
"You son of a bitch! It's been three days and you still haven't found anything!?"
A burly man with broad shoulders and a thick waist roared as he watched the figure being slapped away.
"Lord, it's impossible to squeeze into the Blood Tower now, and some who had ideas have already been captured, skinned, and hung at the entrance!"
The man lay on the ground and spoke tremblingly to the burly man.
"Damn it! Aren't you afraid I'll skin you alive?!"
"That's what the big man said in a cold voice."
"Lord, even if you skin me alive, I still won't be able to find you!!"
The man wailed, his face filled with helplessness.
Upon seeing this, the burly man snorted coldly, then took out an iron box from his robes, opened it, and took out a cylindrical object inside. He held it to his nose, sniffed it slightly, and slowly said:
"It smells damn good! What did Huang Yaoshi say?"
The man on the ground quickly got up and replied:
"He couldn't break it down. Huang Yaoshi hadn't eaten or drunk anything for three days and three nights. His internal energy was almost depleted, and he had fainted several times."
"Useless trash! I didn't ask him to make it! A bunch of useless idiots! And they call themselves the number one pharmacist, damn it!"
Enraged, the burly man hurled the iron box in his hand at the face of the man in front of him, sending him flying.
"Get out! Take your stuff and get out! I'm giving you another half month. If you haven't made any progress at all, you can skin yourself alive and bring it to me!!"
The burly man roared at the man, who immediately retreated from the hall without offering any explanation.
