Chapter 274: The First Batch of Lifespans Arrives
The border between Qingzhou and Bazhou.
The armies of the two states have been fighting here for over a month, with each side winning and losing, but the overall situation has not changed much.
Inside Danyang City.
Captain Zou Xiong was frowning as he looked at the sand table in front of him when, a moment later, someone walked into the barracks and said to him:
"My lord, the weapons from the palace have arrived."
Zou Xiong hummed in agreement, then suddenly remembered something, stood up abruptly, and walked out of the barracks.
"Let's go take a look. The weapons we had last time were really bad. In terms of weapon crafting, we are still far behind Taiping Palace."
Before long, Zou Xiong arrived at the baggage train carrying weapons.
He casually pulled a long sword from the cart, examined it for a moment, and then stretched out his hand to the side.
The soldier beside him immediately understood and quickly handed him a long sword.
This is a Taiping Palace longsword captured from the battlefield. Although it looks ordinary, its hardness and sharpness are frighteningly high.
Zou Xiong took the sword and slashed fiercely at the longsword in his hand. The longsword in his hand broke in the next moment with a crisp sound.
"Damn it, whose blacksmith shop is this? Notify the palace, have them all dragged out and beheaded!"
Zou Xiong looked at the broken sword in his hand and immediately started cursing. Then, with a gloomy expression, he walked to the second cart.
They both drew their swords and slashed at each other, but this time, Zou Xiong's sword did not break, but a gash appeared on its blade.
"Grass!"
Zou Xiong threw the sword into the ground and continued walking towards the next cart.
As they walked to the seventh cart, Zou Xiong drew a long sword that gleamed coldly.
"It looks quite appealing."
Although the sword looked good, Zou Xiong didn't have high expectations for it. After all, he had seen plenty of these kinds of shoddy products and had become numb to them.
But the next moment, as the two longswords collided in mid-air, Zou Xiong's eyes widened in shock.
"My grass!"
The long sword in Taiping Palace had a gash, while the sword that had just been drawn was completely unharmed!
"Which blacksmith shop made this?"
Zou Xiong excitedly asked the soldier next to him.
Upon hearing this, the soldier quickly checked the records and then said:
"It's the Duan family's blacksmith shop in Zuowang City, but their swords used to be quite good."
Zou Xiong did not answer, but instead pulled out a long sword from the cart and continued his experiment.
After testing for over a dozen rounds, Zou Xiong finally arrived at a result:
The longswords produced by the Duan family's blacksmith shop are actually stronger than those from Taiping Palace!
"Quickly, replace all of these goods with this one! I can't wait to see those idiots' shocked faces!! Hahaha!"
With a loud shout from Zou Xiong, the soldier immediately obeyed the order and, along with several others, began pushing several carts and running swiftly towards the drill ground ahead.
...
Three days later, Ding Yi was standing there watching Wang Zhou forge iron when a notification suddenly popped up in front of him.
[You have killed the demon soldiers of Taiping Palace, your lifespan has increased by 5 years and 134 days!]
This is?
Before Ding Yi could react, new prompts began to appear in front of him one after another.
[You have killed the demon soldiers of Taiping Palace, your lifespan has increased by 6 years and 14 days!]
[You have killed the demon soldiers of Taiping Palace, your lifespan has increased by 5 years and 34 days!]
...
Upon seeing this, Ding Yi raised an eyebrow and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
Is this it? My own weapon has finally been put to the battlefield?
Alright, alright, my genius plan is finally starting!!
Thinking of this, Ding Yi felt a surge of excitement.
What evil gods, what immortal beings, they'll all die once I start cultivating immortality with spiritual energy!
Thinking of this, Ding Yi took a deep breath, then calmed himself down and tried his best to appear very calm. He then stood there quietly watching Wang Zhou in front of him.
Wang Zhou, who was forging iron, suddenly felt a chill down his back. He turned around abruptly and saw Ding Yi staring blankly at him. His anus tightened immediately, and he thought to himself, "Oh no!"
Could it be that I was too harsh a few days ago, causing this kid to change his preferences?
Wang Zhou shuddered in fright, and the hammer in his hand missed by half an inch, hitting the corner directly.
Sparks flew everywhere, startling the blacksmiths around.
"You son of a bitch surnamed Wang, are you so desperate for women that you've gone mad?!"
"I'll give you a penny later, go and take care of this tonight!"
Immediately, shouts of cursing erupted from the surrounding area.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Wang Zhou dared not argue and could only whisper to Ding Yi:
"Ding Hai, I'll take you with me tonight. Women are always more fragrant than men."
Ding Yi was taken aback upon hearing this. He looked at Wang Zhou, somewhat puzzled, but still shook his head.
“I am focused on my studies and have no interest in anything else. Master Wang, please continue.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhou was unwilling, but with the mission at hand, he couldn't say much and could only continue forging iron in silence.
Time flew by, and night soon arrived.
Ding Yi sat in his rented room in the city and took out a piece of white paper and spread it on the square table in front of him.
Although he almost went all in to break through to the Immortal Realm last time, he gained another five hundred years of lifespan after the breakthrough due to the improvement in his cultivation.
Although this lifespan was not long, it was undoubtedly a timely help for Ding Yi at that time.
During the day, Ding Yi had been intermittently gaining lifespan, and by this moment, he had gained nearly four hundred years.
The feeling of lying down with his eyes closed and being resurrected made Ding Yi feel almost like he was floating on air.
Several wooden statues of gods were already placed on Ding Yi's table. After hesitating for a moment, Ding Yi picked up his brush and began to write on them.
A moment later, Ding Yi, who had enhanced five jade-colored statues, released his domain, which enveloped the entire hut. At the same time, he sat cross-legged on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Ding Yi's soul flew out of his mind and sat cross-legged on the ground, sitting side by side with his physical body.
The next moment, the divine soul looked at its physical body and laughed, then pointed at the void, and countless green light spots appeared in the small house, then rushed into Ding Yi's body.
In the past, Ding Yi used blood and essence to temper his physical body, but now that he has obtained the Free and Unfettered Technique, he can use spiritual energy to temper his physical body again. In this way, his physical body will be as hard as a magic weapon, far superior to that of martial artists in this world.
As he watched the large number of light spots surge into his physical body, Ding Yi's soul nodded slightly. Then, he opened his mouth and inhaled, and half of the green light spots in the air were completely sucked into his mouth.
Once you reach the Immortal Realm, the methods for martial artists to improve their skills have been cut off.
After all, there is no spiritual energy in this realm. Martial artists have reached their limit when they reach the Immortal Realm, and their essence and energy can no longer enhance their souls in the Immortal Realm.
Unless a martial artist with extraordinary luck obtains some legendary rare treasures, they can take the second step in the Immortal Realm, but to reach the perfection of the Immortal Realm is undoubtedly a pipe dream.
This is where the advantages of worshipping gods become apparent.
As long as enough malevolent energy can be obtained, the level of worship in the Immortal Realm can continue to improve until the Immortal Realm reaches its peak.
This is also one of the reasons why, when the Divine Palace descended to earth, most of the immortals on Earth could not bear the shackles of their cultivation levels and resolutely chose to join the worship of the gods.
Imagine a peerless genius who spends his entire life pursuing the ultimate realm, but is trapped in the Immortal Realm. Now that there is a new path to break the shackles, how could they not be tempted?
Therefore, there are very few pure martial arts immortals in the world nowadays, but there are more and more immortals who worship gods.
However, now an even more formidable one has finally emerged.
Ding Yi's soul and body were sitting on the ground, and the spiritual energy in the room was drawn into a vortex by them.
A large amount of spiritual energy split into two streams and rushed into the two figures recklessly, before dissipating completely.
However, the price for doing so was that within the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Ding Yi's Evergreen True Qi was almost depleted. At that moment, Ding Yi's soul opened his eyes, and with a single hand outstretched, the five jade-colored statues on the table immediately floated into the air.
"Four hundred years of lifespan, all for tonight's cultivation—such a luxurious thing, I ask you, who in the world could have it?"
"But I don't have much time left."
A glint flashed in Ding Yi's eyes, and then he began to activate the Exorcism Technique.
The next moment, the spiritual energy in the room, which had been depleted, surged again!
