Chapter 133 Arrangement
"what?"
Liu Xun looked at Ding Yi. He really hadn't expected Ding Yi to write it like that, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it seemed to make sense.
Spirit possession is not something commonplace; it involves a person who can genuinely communicate with the god of disaster and summon the god of disaster.
The loss of a deity at Baiyun Temple is indeed a remarkable achievement for Liu Xun.
"But Master, I've only just achieved the minor mastery of the Xuanji realm. The Yin Yang Palace won't believe in my ability to summon spirits."
Liu Xun said with a bitter face.
"Who said it was you? Isn't there also Special Envoy Sun?"
Ding Yi said with a neutral expression.
"Huh? Special Envoy Sun, does Special Envoy Sun agree to say that?"
Liu Xun was taken aback.
"We're all in the same boat, don't worry."
Ding Yi waved his hand, then said to Liu Xun:
"It just so happens that Special Envoy Sun will be coming to discuss this matter with me later. Go and coordinate your statements with her."
After Liu Xun accepted the order and left, a short while later, there was another knock on the door.
"Enter."
Ding Yi said calmly.
"Crench."
As the wooden door opened, Sun Qiao'er stepped gracefully into the room.
"master."
Sun Qiao'er bowed and greeted Ding Yi before walking up to him.
"Tell me, how's the investigation going?"
Ding Yi asked.
“Master, I have occasionally heard of cultivation techniques for refining the spirit, but they are all just snippets of conversation among the important figures in the palace.”
“This servant specifically sent someone to investigate, and there are no records of any cultivation techniques related to spirit refinement in the entire Qingfeng County.”
Sun Qiao'er said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi frowned immediately.
These past few days, he has been relying on the "Heavenly Nourishing Spirit Pill" to avoid the backlash caused by the depletion of his soul.
Although his lifespan has now exceeded 100 years again after killing Duji and that evil Buddha clone, the daily consumption of a year's lifespan is still overwhelming for him.
Therefore, finding a cultivation technique for refining the soul became the top priority.
Ding Yi had also tried to create a secret refining technique out of thin air, but the lifespan it consumed was over four hundred years, which was simply outrageous, so he had to give up the idea.
Besides the Refining Spirit Technique, there is another method that can also solve the problem of soul depletion.
That is, to break through the cultivation barrier and undergo a blood transfusion, and to cultivate to the minor completion of the Yuanqiao Realm, at which time a wisp of divine consciousness will be conceived in the Niwan Palace in the mind, and the divine soul will be strengthened, which will also solve this problem.
But regardless of which one, a major problem is currently looming ahead.
There are no cultivation techniques!
Neither the Yuanqiao Realm cultivation method nor the Refining Spirit cultivation method can be found in this small Qingfeng County.
After all, one of these items is a contraband and the other is a rare item; even the Qingfeng County Supervisory Office does not have a copy.
Thinking of this, Ding Yi immediately frowned.
Seeing Ding Yi's expression, Sun Qiao'er quickly said:
"Master, only Baihe City, the capital of Baihe County, could possibly contain a martial arts technique of this level. I have already sent someone to Baihe City urgently to search for it."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi immediately shook his head.
Ding Yi, now, can't trust anyone except Sun Qiao'er and Liu Xun.
Who knows if the people we send over there are just there for show, or if they're working themselves to the bone to help us?
Ding Yi is losing a year of his life every day. How can he entrust his life to someone else?
Thinking of this, Ding Yi spoke up:
"I need to go to Baihe City in person to prepare the necessary documents for entering the city. I will set off for Baihe City soon."
During this turbulent period, entering a prefecture-level city like Baihe City required official documents from various regions.
After all, it's not a small county like Qingfeng County with an insufficient population, requiring a continuous influx of people to meet the needs of the Refining Demon.
Large cities like Baihe City, with their large populations, have extremely strict plans for population movement.
Even during special periods, they would divert a certain number of crowded people from Baihe City to other counties within the prefecture to meet the population needs of each county.
For example, in the recent invasion of Baiyun Temple in Qingfeng County, once everything is investigated, people from Baihe City will be transferred over to restore the normal operation of the entire county.
"Sir, isn't it too dangerous for you to go alone?"
Sun Qiao'er said with some concern.
"You don't need to worry about me. But your patrol mission is over. You're probably going back to the Yin-Yang Palace now, right?"
Ding Yi suddenly asked.
"Yes, sir."
Sun Qiao'er nodded, seemingly very reluctant to part with Ding Yi.
"Very good. I need you to continue developing within the Yin-Yang Palace and obtain military power."
Ding Yi suddenly said.
“Master, the Yin-Yang Palace is full of factions. Although I am a disciple of Elder Qiu Dishui of the Yin-Yang Palace, I am only a servant disciple.”
"If it weren't for my father's generous financial support, I wouldn't have been able to obtain the position of Special Inspector of Yuanling Pavilion. I'm afraid..."
Upon hearing this, Sun Qiao'er's eyes dimmed, and she said in a low voice.
Ding Yi smiled and shook his head upon hearing this:
"Don't worry, since I'm letting you develop, I definitely have my own methods."
"You'll know later."
As Ding Yi was speaking, he suddenly asked:
"If you were to engage in divination, what are the potential side effects?"
Sun Qiao'er was exceptionally intelligent; she immediately understood Ding Yi's meaning. After frowning and pondering for a moment, she spoke:
"The right to summon spirits is generally reserved for devout believers, and one's soul must be able to withstand the possession of the calamity spirit. Therefore, it is generally only the cultivation level of the Divine Palace Realm that can be invoked."
"If I were to forcibly invoke the spirit, my soul would likely burn to ashes within half a day. Even if the incantation were lifted afterward, I would become a walking corpse."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi suddenly recalled the day he smashed Du Ji's head, only to find it empty. He then stroked his chin and began to ponder.
After a while, Ding Yi got up, instructed Sun Qiao'er to wait there, then walked behind the screen, picked up the brush on the table behind the screen, and wrote the words "Weakened spirit for one day" on a porcelain bottle containing Qi and Blood Pills.
[Currently, the required lifespan for enhancement is 3 months and 1 day. Enhance now?]
Having a lifespan of a hundred years, Ding Yi seemed to have become numb to the idea of living only a few months, and directly chose "yes".
The next moment, as a familiar vibration came, the pills in the porcelain bottle had clearly changed.
A short while later, Ding Yi returned to the front room and handed the pill to Sun Qiao'er.
"Take this when the people from Yin Yang Palace come. It will only have an effect for one day. Remember that."
Upon hearing this, Sun Qiao'er took the pill with some curiosity. Although she didn't know where Ding Yi got it from, Ding Yi's words were like a royal decree to her, and she wouldn't even ask any more questions.
At the same time, Ding Yi took out a capsule from his pocket and handed it to Sun Qiao'er.
"Keep this between your teeth, and in a dangerous situation, use your inner strength to shatter it."
Sun Qiao'er took the capsule and put it in her mouth in front of Ding Yi. Ding Yi nodded in satisfaction and then told Sun Qiao'er to go out and find Liu Xun to compare their statements.
After Sun Qiao'er left, Ding Yi sat in his chair and pondered for a while before opening the wooden box that had been on the table.
Inside the wooden box was a jade-colored statue, the very same one left in the cave by the demonic monk from Baiyun Temple!
"The people from Yin Yang Palace should be coming to investigate this incident soon. This jade statue, as evidence, cannot be damaged. However, that doesn't mean I can't eat some meat."
Ding Yi took out the jade-colored statue, his eyes slightly narrowed.
