Chapter 383 Just how freakish is this guy?
Following Ding Yi's instructions, Zhu Jiu Jie picked up all three items from the box, opened them one by one in front of Ding Yi, and then took out the contents of each item and licked them.
Inside the three wooden boxes were three fist-sized stones.
These three stones are red, blue, and black respectively, and their luster is uniform and consistent, clearly indicating that they are not ordinary items.
Pigsy licked the stones and then said:
"It doesn't taste good, it's just a rock."
Ding Yi smiled as he looked at Zhu Jiu Jie, until Zhu Jiu Jie felt a little uneasy, before he said:
"Well done, go on."
Upon hearing this, Pigsy felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders. He quickly put down the stone and ran back to his little cave.
Ding Yi then looked at the three stones on the ground that were emitting a dim light, and a satisfied look appeared in his eyes.
These three stones were naturally the five elements materials that he obtained from the Blood Tower under the guise of alchemy.
Although he didn't know the quality of these materials, Ding Yi figured they wouldn't try to fool him too much since it involved the refining of the Ascension Ointment.
let's start!
With a single gesture, Ding Yi sent the three stones soaring into the air and landing in his hand.
Ding Yi observed the stones for a while, then picked up a pen and wrote the words "Strengthening the Five Elements Attributes, Suitable for Cultivation" on them.
[Currently available for enhancement; enhancement requires a lifespan of 101 years and 34 days. Enhance now?]
Looking at the prompt before him, Ding Yi was not surprised but rather delighted, thinking to himself that the materials from the Upper Realm were indeed extraordinary.
A single enhancement would cost a hundred years of lifespan, but Ding Yi was confident that if he could successfully absorb it, his cultivation would increase by 200 years.
Although his lifespan has reached 7000 years (2000 years from the divine statue in the lower realm), it would be a huge waste to advance the "Five Elements Mending Heaven Scripture" out of thin air using elixirs and divine illumination.
Only by strengthening oneself with such physical substances and absorbing them slowly can one truly make the most of one's lifespan.
Thinking of this, Ding Yi grasped the stone with one hand, then closed his eyes slightly. The stone in his hand immediately vibrated violently, and the entire cave fell silent instantly.
Half a month later, the people from the Blood Tower arrived as promised.
There were five or six people who came to Dingyi Cave this time.
One of them was naturally the triangular-eyed old man in the pavilion, who was now looking at the cave in front of him with a sinister smile, as if waiting for something.
According to his informant, Ding Yi hadn't come out of the cave since entering, except for sending the pig demon out to buy things a few times.
Although this reclusive personality was like that of a pharmacist, the old man actually thought that Ding Yi was incapable of refining the Ascension Ointment, which was why he stayed at home.
How could a new product like the Ascension Ointment be developed in just one month?
Who do you think you are?
Just then, the stone door of the cave slowly opened, and Ding Yi walked out unhurriedly.
He had a warm smile on his face, and a pig demon was following him. He didn't look like a pharmacist at all.
"Brother Ding, the time has come. This Ascension Ointment..."
When the triangular-eyed old man saw Ding Yi leave, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly spoke.
But before he could finish speaking, Ding Yi threw something at him.
The person next to the old man snatched the object first, and upon closer inspection, discovered it was their Blood Pavilion's Blood Essence.
The triangular-eyed old man glanced at what the other person was holding, and then gave a sinister laugh:
"You're trying to trick me by using our Blood Pavilion's products?"
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi sneered and said:
"Don't you know how to let someone test the medicine?"
The triangular-eyed old man was taken aback upon hearing this. After pondering for a moment, he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to the person beside him and said:
"Pharmacist, please."
The one called the apothecary was an old man in a white robe. He had an arrogant expression and simply waved his hand at the triangular-eyed old man before accepting the pottery jar handed to him by the guard.
He opened the earthenware jar, held it under his nose and took a slight sniff, and immediately frowned.
Immediately, he stretched out his finger, dipped it in the ointment from the earthenware jar, and licked it with the tip of his tongue. He immediately felt a jolt and exclaimed in surprise:
"impossible!!"
The old man with triangular eyes was startled by the shout and asked immediately:
"What's impossible?"
The white-bearded old man trembled as he closed his eyes, seemingly savoring the sensation he had just experienced. After a long while, he reopened his eyes and said:
"How could this be? The medicine's effectiveness has increased by about ten percent! That's impossible..."
The triangular-eyed old man knew nothing about alchemy, and upon hearing this, he immediately asked in confusion:
"Why isn't it possible?"
He had pulled out a small tuft of his white beard, and he explained:
"We old guys have fully explored the medicinal properties of this Blood-Guiding Ointment. We've used every trick in the book to torture those ascendants. You could say we've developed its medicinal properties to the extreme."
Upon hearing this, the white-bearded old man's eyes twitched. He looked sharply at Ding Yi, only to find him looking at him with a half-smile.
"Damn, is this guy even more twisted than us? What kind of methods did he come up with to torture the ascendants?"
The white-bearded old man suddenly had this thought.
"Ah, Pharmacist Ding, from now on you will be a distinguished guest of our Blood Pavilion. This cave dwelling is yours to use indefinitely, as long as you wish!"
As expected of the manager of the Blood Tower, the man with the triangular eyes clapped his hands, his sinister expression completely gone, and smiled at Ding Yi.
Ding Yi remained expressionless upon hearing this, simply nodding before beckoning to someone behind him. Zhu Jiu Jie then emerged and handed him a slip of paper.
"This is?"
Triangle Eyes was stunned.
He took the note, opened it, and his expression immediately turned strange.
The note still contained the same things with the five elements attributes as before, which immediately sparked a guess in his mind.
Could this guy's secret lie in these materials?
The man with the triangular eyes put away the note, then patted his chest and assured him:
"Don't worry, Pharmacist Ding, I promise to send double the amount of these materials. Then please help us make more Ascension Ointment."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi said:
"Don't worry, as long as we have enough materials, the Ascension Ointment will not be a problem."
Upon hearing this, the man with the triangular eyes burst into laughter. He quickly waved his hand behind him and then hurriedly led his men away from the mountain.
Ding Yi looked at the backs of these people and gave a cold smile before turning around and returning to the cave.
