Chapter 86 Analysis
After spending these days together, Ding Yi had a pretty good grasp of the system's nature.
He completely blocks any path that could directly bring you benefits.
For example, it might take 20 years to create a white statue out of thin air, but only 16 years to refine a white statue.
For example, if you were to create gold out of thin air, the lifespan consumed would be terrifyingly high, and it wouldn't be as worthwhile as enhancing silver.
Directly strengthening oneself doesn't work, nor does extending lifespan...
In other words, to make good use of this system, we still need to take a roundabout approach.
So, the next step is actually quite simple.
There are only two ways to gain a long lifespan.
One way is to kill the god, and the other is to obtain the idol.
In Qingfeng County, there are people who worship gods, but they are all from the Yin-Yang Palace.
Killing the worshippers at the Yin-Yang Palace in Qingfeng County is just a one-time business; it can't last long.
However, the evil spirits worshipping the gods outside Qingfeng County can be killed.
Just like Qingyunzi and Baiyunzi, these worshippers are all elusive and mysterious. In addition, the Yin-Yang Palace's special envoy has now entered the county town in a high-profile manner to investigate the matter of the Green Silk Curse. Ding Yi thought that there would be no external curses around in the short term.
That leaves only one option: the statue.
Where are the most statues of gods worshipped? Naturally, they are found in temples and shrines throughout the land.
But Ding Yi was not a worshipper and could not access these statues, so he could only try to find a way to possess these worshippers.
If we can control these worships and make them work for us, then all problems will be solved.
First, naturally, one can use the malevolent energy from worshipping gods to practice martial arts, thus having a stable source of malevolent energy every day.
Secondly, worshipping the gods requires one to hand over their annual quota of spiritual practice, which is essentially a set of idols. Of course, the higher the level of worship, the more varied the quantity and quality of the idols received will be.
Third, in the event of an uncontrollable crisis, killing the controlled deity will instantly grant a large amount of extra lifespan, and this method is stable and practical.
Fourth, worshipping the gods can help him do things. The fact that Yunxi Village let the two-faced evil infant escape has always been a hurdle that Ding Yi can't get over. If someone had supported him at the time, this situation would never have happened.
It has to be said that controlling the worship of gods is a way to make money from four sources at once, and even capitalists on Earth would be moved to tears!
Thinking of this, Ding Yi became somewhat excited. He rubbed his hands together and took out a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone from the package on the table, and began his experiment.
Ding Yi first wrote down, as usual, some characteristics of worshiping gods, cultivation methods, information about the gods' statues, and whatever was relevant, striving to make the information as complete as possible.
In addition, Ding Yi had also come across a lot of new information about worshiping gods in the archives that morning, and he immediately added it all in.
After more than half an hour, Ding Yi wrote several thousand words, using up five sheets of paper.
Next, Ding Yi wrote the entry "Controlling the worship of gods is appropriate" on the back of the last page, and then nervously placed it in front of him.
[Currently, the lifespan can be enhanced to 114526 years and 175 days. Would you like to enhance it?]
Ding Yi initially thought he was seeing things, then rubbed his eyes and found that the long line of numbers hadn't changed. He swallowed hard and muttered the numbers to himself:
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6... You fucking... 100,000 years!! This..."
While Ding Yi was still in shock, he felt that something was wrong. No matter how powerful the worship of gods was, it shouldn't require so much lifespan!
Ding Yi frowned, stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then added the entry "quantity ten" after it.
This reduced the required lifespan for enhancement to just over 9 years, which is still an exaggerated amount.
Upon seeing this entry, Ding Yi seemed to have found the answer. He then added another entry, "Xuanji Realm," to the middle of "Controlling the Worship of Gods," which is "Controlling the Worship of Gods in the Xuanji Realm."
This reduced the required lifespan for enhancement to 137 years and 23 days.
Upon seeing this result, Ding Yi immediately fell into deep thought.
It is obvious that, among those who worship gods, the difference in strength has a significant impact on lifespan. Ding Yi even suspects that the real 108 sources of calamity belong to the same category of gods, otherwise such an absurd number as 110,000 years would not exist.
However, although his life expectancy has been reduced, Ding Yi is now hesitant.
The added conditions and restrictions brought the originally perfect plan to a standstill. For Ding Yi, the worship of gods in the Xuanji Realm was only the starting point for absorbing evil energy, but even so, strengthening it still required a lifespan of more than 130 years.
Moreover, how to control the worship of gods after this enhancement is still an unknown.
If I were asked to drug the gods, wouldn't that be pointless? I might as well just focus on developing the elixir directly.
"That's right, why not just strengthen it into a pill?! We're on the wrong track, we're on the wrong track!"
A thought flashed through Ding Yi's mind. He quickly took out the Qi and Blood Pills he had bought that afternoon, poured out nine pills from the small porcelain bottle, leaving only one, and then wrote on the bottle:
The phrase "Controlling the Xuanji Realm to worship gods is suitable to be undetectable" appears.
[Currently, the lifespan can be enhanced to 39 years and 175 days. Would you like to enhance it?]
Looking at the words that appeared before him, Ding Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to the previous method of controlling worship, he preferred this one-time use elixir.
Although the pill can only control one person, its advantage lies in its short formation time, unlike cultivation techniques which require mastering the basics before they can take effect.
Moreover, the pills can be carried at any time, and when the perfect opportunity arises, they can be used directly. Even if a god comes, he can be knocked down instantly!
Upon realizing this, Ding Yi chuckled. Instead of choosing to enhance it, he carried the medicine bottle with him, planning to use it to enhance it when the opportunity arose.
Having decided on the route, Ding Yi didn't try again. Instead, he hid the visualization diagram and map in the kitchen of the side room, then went to the bedroom, lay down on the wooden bed, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
That night, Ding Yi had an unprecedented dream. He dreamt that he was surrounded by statues of gods, made of gold, purple, and jade, and he was fast asleep on top of them. Two beautiful maids were massaging his shoulders beside him, making him look exactly like a wealthy tycoon.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but when the sunlight shone into the main room through the window, Ding Yi habitually opened his eyes.
He looked around at the somewhat unfamiliar surroundings, and then slowly sat up.
"These are hectic days."
Ding Yi sighed inwardly, then got up, quickly wiped his face, and hurriedly left.
Upon arriving at the post, Ding Yi hung his waist tag on the wooden frame and headed towards the archives.
On the way, Ding Yi ran into Zhou Yi, who was also heading to the archives.
Zhou Yi looked at Ding Yi, but didn't greet him. He walked forward with a cold face, clearly still angry about Ding Yi's rudeness yesterday.
Ding Yi ignored him. He was too lazy to waste words on such a minor character as long as he didn't provoke him.
The two entered the archives one after the other and then began their work for the day.
