Chapter 119: Absolute Territory
[Divine Illumination Seven Blood Breakthrough Pill]
This elixir, made from Heavenly Blood Vine, Myriad Fragrant Herbs, and other potent medicinal ingredients, when used in conjunction with Divine Illumination and Mindfulness, allows for one complete blood exchange upon the first daily recitation of the Nine Extremes Blood Exchange Technique. Note: Once daily; do not exceed this limit.
"Divine Illumination Qi and Blood Breakthrough Pill?"
Ding Yi opened the porcelain bottle and poured out the pills inside, immediately feeling a refreshing fragrance waft towards him.
The next moment, the blood that was flowing normally in his body suddenly jolted, and Ding Yi suddenly felt an extreme craving for the pill in his hand.
"Eat it! Eat it!!"
It seemed as if an invisible human face was roaring madly beside Ding's ears, which made Ding Yi feel even more incredible about the pill in front of him.
As expected of a pill enhanced with over a hundred years of lifespan, it can even influence a person's thoughts from a distance. If this were placed in the wild, it would probably cause countless monsters to fight over it.
Without any hesitation, Ding Yi stuffed the pill into his mouth.
The pill, about the size of a longan, turned into a fragrant liquid as soon as it entered his mouth. Ding Yi swallowed the liquid whole and then sat down in his chair to quietly experience it.
As soon as the elixir entered his mouth, Ding Yi felt the restless blood in his body gradually calm down, but this calm was obviously an illusion.
A warm energy continuously emanated from the stomach, spreading into the blood vessels, and then lurking within the blood.
This energy, like that of the eve of a volcanic eruption, immediately made Ding Yi realize the domineering nature of this pill.
"No wonder you can only have your blood replaced once a day. This energy is too domineering. If you do it too often, it will damage your foundation, which is actually bad."
Ding Yi pondered for a moment.
As night fell, Ding Yi sat cross-legged on the bed.
He placed his hands flat in front of him, and to his left was a wooden box containing three "Blood Qi Pills".
Although he had the Divine Illumination Seven Blood Breakthrough Pill, Ding Yi still prepared three Blood Qi Pills just in case, to be on the safe side.
After calculating the time, Ding Yi felt it was about time, so he took a deep breath and began to circulate the Nine Extremes Blood Exchange Technique.
The next moment, the familiar feeling of light and shadow changing appeared before Ding Yi's eyes again, and at the same time, the blood in his body began to gurgle like boiling water.
As if he had practiced it a million times, the blood in Ding Yi's body began to turn into steam and squeeze out of his pores, forming a blood-red mist above his head just like last time.
At the same time, the immense medicinal power that had already penetrated the bone marrow began to be gradually activated.
As soon as Ding Yi, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, showed signs of becoming emaciated, he immediately became full again. This happened repeatedly dozens of times until his skin turned as red as the sunset, indicating that the second blood transfusion was complete.
At such a speed, it took only a dozen or so breaths, even faster than the first time, which was about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
As if sensing something, Ding Yi slightly opened his eyes and looked at his hands with some disbelief.
He didn't expect that this blood transfusion would even save the Blood Qi Pill, and the second blood transfusion involved more bloodlines. The problem that would have taken more than ten years to gradually become familiar with was solved directly by Shenzhao.
This even gave Ding Yi the feeling that his body and consciousness had acted entirely on instinct, as if he had been possessed.
The feeling was strange, but the result was obviously good.
"The strength of the blood energy has increased by about 30% compared to before."
Ding Yi briefly sensed the flow of qi and blood within his body, then unleashed a palm strike, directly using an invisible force to smash open the bedroom door and window. With a flick of his sleeve, the blood mist swirling in the air was instantly swept up by the force and rushed out of the courtyard.
"Due to the improvement of Qi and blood, the range of Gang Jin (罡劲) outside the body has increased by one foot, reaching about two feet."
Ding Yi nodded slightly in satisfaction, then got up, took off his blood-stained robe, wiped his body with the cool water he had prepared, and went straight to sleep.
November 21st, cloudy.
The turmoil caused by the rebels in the county town a few days ago has gradually subsided.
Most of the residents in the city returned to their previous lives, especially those in the outer city, where the turmoil became a topic of conversation.
As for the Bai family martial arts school, it was reduced to ruins in that fire. Fortunately, there were no residential buildings nearby, otherwise half a street might have been burned down.
The news of Yu Rongguang's assassination finally received a response from the Yin Yang Palace today.
"Investigate this case immediately. Liu Xun, the head of the investigation section, will temporarily serve as the director."
With just one sentence, Liu Xun was promoted one rank, though only temporarily.
When Liu Xun told Ding Yi this news, Ding Yi was also very surprised.
He had thought that the Yin-Yang Palace would give the position of Director of the Inspection Department to Sun Qiao'er, but he never expected that Liu Xun would become the biggest winner.
But Ding Yi was amused.
You may not lose, but I will always win – that's the charm of double betting.
After finishing his shift, Ding Yi quietly went to the Liu residence and saw Liu Xun waiting there in the side room.
"Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master! Today is truly a wonderful day for you!"
As soon as Ding Yi entered the room, Liu Xun bowed and said with a smile.
"Oh? Little Liu, you got promoted, what does that have to do with me?"
Ding Yi asked, somewhat amused.
"Master, you don't know, but with this official robe, I can serve you even better from now on."
Liu Xun lowered his head and said with a smile.
"Ha, you rascal."
Ding Yi chuckled as Liu Xun flattered him, thinking to himself that this explained why emperors throughout history had several eunuchs serving them; the reason was now clear.
"Alright, I came here to ask you, now that you've become the Director of the Inspection Department, can you go to this formation more often?"
Ding Yi asked directly.
“Master, if this happens too often, the number of blood-red idols that can be produced each month will naturally be affected.”
"These statues are all going to be taken to the Yin-Yang Palace."
Liu Xun said with a bitter face.
"Escorted? In what form of escort mission?"
Ding Yi raised an eyebrow and his eyes lit up.
“Master, this is no ordinary escort mission. These statues are sealed with special seals. If there is no corresponding method to open them, they will explode instantly and turn into a dead zone on the spot.”
Liu Xun explained.
"What exactly is a forbidden zone? Is Qingfeng County, which is shrouded in the Yin-Yang Grand Array, considered a forbidden zone?"
Ding Yi was somewhat puzzled.
"Of course not. The meaning of 'absolute domain' refers to the statue releasing all its malevolent energy in an instant, causing the surrounding space to enter a state of inexplicable change."
Liu Xun's expression gradually became solemn, and he continued:
"Master, once we encounter the Fiend Domain, we must run out immediately. If we are too slow, it will be all over."
"You can't even worship gods?"
Ding Yi was somewhat puzzled.
"Naturally, it's different. Even if it's a malevolent domain created by the statues of the Yin-Yang Palace, the malevolent energy in our bodies will gradually wither away after we enter, and we'll eventually turn into dried corpses."
Liu Xun shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi stroked his chin, thinking to himself that this "evil domain" sounded just like that highly radioactive zone.
The air in the nuclear radiation zone is filled with strong radiation that is invisible to the naked eye. When a person enters it, he will be fine at first, but after a long time, he will experience symptoms such as vomiting and skin ulceration all over his body.
I just don't know if my Crossing the Fiend Technique will be effective in this desolate region.
Or perhaps I can develop a talisman that can unseal the statue without creating a malevolent domain?
In the end, Ding Yi gave up on this plan. Given the nature of this system, forcibly breaking the seal to prevent the statue from being damaged would come at a very high price, perhaps even equal to the price of the statue itself.
However, Ding Yi also kept this in mind, thinking that if there was an opportunity in the future, he should give it a try.
