Chapter 97 Lifespan Increase
He didn't know how much time had passed, but just as Ding Yi was getting drowsy, he suddenly felt the stone platform beneath him tremble slightly.
coming!
Ding Yi's pupils contracted, and then he looked at the stone platform beneath him, only to find a faint light flashing on the runes on it.
The faint light appeared and disappeared intermittently, rising and falling like breathing. In no time, it spread to the outermost layer like the tide and spread along the stone wall into the darkness above.
Just a few breaths later, a suffocating aura suddenly emanated from beneath the stone platform, enveloping the area where the thirteen statues on the platform were placed.
[You have refined a trace of Yin-Yang Fiend, your lifespan increased by 1 days.]
[You have refined a trace of Yin-Yang Fiend, your lifespan increased by 0.5 days.]
[You have refined a trace of Yin-Yang Fiend, your lifespan increased by 0.5 days.]
...
Instantly, three lines of prompts appeared before Ding Yi's eyes, making his eyes light up.
The first line was clearly absorbed by himself using the Exorcism Technique, while the second and third lines were prompts from the oil lamp's refining process. In other words, he could gain a full two days' worth of lifespan extension in just one second.
"What a pity, what a pity, my cultivation speed of the Crossing the Fiend Technique is not fast enough, otherwise it would definitely be more than just a second or a day. After this, I will have to find a way to improve my proficiency in the Crossing the Fiend Technique."
Ding Yi secretly regretted that the sudden surge of malevolent energy was not just this much, but his and the oil lamp's refining ability was limited, and a large amount of malevolent energy dissipated into the air and was then absorbed by the formation on the stone platform and sent to other statues.
Meanwhile, the other nine statues on the other side absorbed all the returning malevolent energy without revealing a trace of it.
Even so, Ding Yi had never felt so rich before. He immediately accelerated the flow of Evergreen True Qi, striving to absorb as much evil energy as possible.
Time passed by, minute by minute. About an hour later, a faint light suddenly appeared on the surrounding walls again. However, this time the light rose from the dome and quickly spread towards the stone platform beneath Ding Yi.
In just one breath, the light disappeared into the stone platform, and at the same time, the prompt that had been flashing in front of Ding Yi's eyes also disappeared.
ended?
Ding Yi was taken aback. He looked around and found nothing unusual. But after calculating the time, he figured it was about time. He quickly got up, blew out both oil lamps, and put them into his pocket.
Immediately afterwards, Ding Yi gently wiped the area where he had been sitting and where the lamps had been placed with his sleeve, erasing the marks on the surface before stepping out of the array's range and into the outermost area.
During tonight's cultivation session, Ding Yi estimated that he had absorbed at least forty or fifty years of lifespan, a speed that was already quite exaggerated.
After all, Ding Yi's method of exorcising evil spirits is only at the beginner level. If Ding Yi strengthens it after returning home and improves it to the level of mastery, his lifespan will surely be increased to a greater extent when he comes back here next month.
Just then, Ding Yi heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Liu Xun rushing over with a torch in his hand.
"Master, is the matter settled?"
Liu Xun approached Ding Yi and cautiously asked him a question.
"Ah."
Ding Yi hummed in agreement, then looked at the formation in front of him and suddenly asked:
"It won't be a problem, right?"
"Don't worry, Master. I'll go and fill in the three empty spaces right now. I'll make sure everything is perfect."
As Liu Xun spoke, he planted the torch in the ground, then quickly stepped forward and took out three new statues from the cave in the stone wall. He marked the bottom of the statues and then put them back into the formation.
In this way, the entire formation was restored to its original state, and nothing could be seen.
"We've been here for so long, won't that arouse their suspicion?"
Ding Yi looked at Liu Xun who was walking over and asked again.
"Master, you can rest assured about that. Every month at the beginning of the month, I will come down and observe the entire operation of the great formation."
Liu Xun said with a smile.
Seeing this, Ding Yi nodded, then carefully examined the scene again. Finding no traces missing, he said to Liu Xun:
"Let's go."
The two resumed their formation with Liu Xun in front and Ding Yi behind, and returned along the original route.
On the way, Ding Yi deliberately poured the lamp oil from the two lamps onto the ground, and at the same time used the stone wall to rub away the evil-repelling runes on the lamps.
After exiting the cave, the sky outside was still pitch black. The two did not linger and headed straight for the entrance of the Surveillance Department.
At the entrance of the Inspectorate, the same squad of black-armored guards still stood watch.
However, they glanced at Liu Xun and Ding Yi, said nothing, and simply opened the door, letting the two of them go out.
As Ding Yi walked out of the gate, his heart finally relaxed a little. He couldn't help but think to himself that this trip was indeed exciting and the gains were huge.
In just one night, he gained a lifespan comparable to refining two white god statues, which was equivalent to killing two Qingyunzi.
However, this also made Ding Yi realize that there were quite a few hidden masters of worship within the Surveillance Bureau, and that his own internal organ refinement martial arts skills were truly worthless.
"Strange, why do I feel weaker the more I train..."
Standing beside the carriage, Ding Yi suddenly felt a strange sensation.
This feeling isn't dissatisfaction with one's own level of skill, but rather a lack of confidence in one's overall strength.
After all, Ding Yi has only had a few real combat experiences so far. When he encountered those well-trained black-armored guards, not to mention the difference in their cultivation levels, he was already at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.
The next moment, with the sound of hooves, the carriage gradually drove away from the gate of the Inspectorate, and the entire street gradually returned to silence.
After returning to the Liu residence, Ding Yi followed Liu Xun back to the room they had come from.
"My lord, please stay here for the night. I will not disturb you any longer."
Liu Xun tactfully left the place. Through his observation, he realized that Ding Yi preferred to be alone.
This is Liu Xun's strength: he can quickly understand his master's thoughts and make the most appropriate moves in different environments.
After Liu Xun left, Ding Yi lay down on the bed while still dressed.
I'm too tired tonight, and I don't have the Qi and Blood Pill with me. I'll deal with everything when I get back to my residence in the inner city tomorrow.
Nothing happened overnight. The next day, Ding Yi dressed neatly and set off from Liu's residence directly to the patrol office for his shift.
Upon arriving at the patrol station, Ding Yi found that everything around him was normal, and it was clear that no one had noticed that the Yin-Yang Fiend had been stolen the previous night.
This made Ding Yi even more excited for the beginning of next month.
Soon, another day passed. After finishing his shift, Ding Yi took his waist token and hurriedly left the post, then headed towards his residence in the inner city.
Once back in the courtyard, Ding Yi checked the few strands of hair he had left behind the door and window as usual. Finding nothing wrong, he sat down at the table with peace of mind, took out the Qi and Blood Pills and paper and pen, and began the strengthening process.
At this time, Ding Yi's progress in refining his internal organs has reached 70%, and he will be able to complete the refining process next month. After that, once he passes the peak of the refining process, he can try to undergo a blood exchange.
For a martial artist to undergo a blood transfusion, they need a fist technique that has been mastered to perfection. Therefore, strengthening the "White Ape Turning Python Fist" to perfection is an urgent matter.
Having learned from his previous experience, Ding Yi poured out the remaining Qi and Blood Pills, tore up a copy of the visualization diagram of the White Ape Entangling Python, stuffed it into a porcelain bottle, and then wrote the words "Perfectly compatible with the White Ape Entangling Python Fist" on the bottle.
[Currently, the required lifespan for enhancement is 10 years and 2 months. Would you like to enhance it?]
When Ding Yi saw this entry, his heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "Has this system gone mad? Last time, the White Ape Fist was upgraded from the beginner level to the master level in just over seven years. Now, it takes ten years to go from master to perfection."
But Ding Yi thought about it and felt that the reason why the Blood Exchange Warrior was called a Grandmaster must be related to the difficulty of breaking through the barrier. Perhaps there was something special about the perfect level of fist techniques.
Thinking of this, Ding Yi immediately chose yes, and the porcelain bottle in his hand trembled slightly the next moment.
