Chapter 76 Increase Lifespan
The next day, Ding Yi took the talisman and traded it with Xu Nian for four fragments of a divine statue in a restaurant.
Xu Nian was a very law-abiding smuggler. He neither asked Ding Yi about the origin of these evil-repelling talismans nor made any sudden price increases, which pleased Ding Yi quite a bit.
Although Ding Yi had considered using something like Soul Loss Potion to steal the fragments from Xu Nian before coming, he decided to abandon the idea for the time being, thinking that this was a long-term transaction and he shouldn't be greedy for this one-time gain.
This fragment of the divine statue can add about nine months to Ding Yi's lifespan. Four fragments would add more than three years. After deducting the half-year of lifespan consumed by Ding Yi in strengthening the Demon-Slaying Talisman, he would gain a net lifespan of two and a half years.
Unfortunately, he could only get three or four fragments of the statue in a month, which made Ding Yi nostalgic for the feeling of suddenly becoming rich when he obtained the Green Silk Statue.
"When will we get another Miao Buzhen...?"
Ding Yi was filled with emotion.
August 22nd, the Autumn Equinox.
That night, all 206 bones in Ding Yi's body were finally forged. Standing in the side room, his blood and qi were as red as mercury, and his skin rippled rhythmically like ocean waves. With each breath, white qi flowed from his nasal cavity and dissipated within half an inch of his body.
Feeling the surging blood and qi within his body, Ding Yi felt as if all the bones in his body were connected in one line. An uncontrollable impulse traveled from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. In that instant, he twisted his waist and reached out, unleashing the first move of the White Ape Overturning Python.
With this punch, Ding Yi's bones cracked and popped, and the faint sounds of dragons roaring and tigers howling emanated from his body. A wisp of white energy burst from his fist and gradually dissipated half a foot away from his body.
"Is this the prototype of Gang Jin (罡劲)?"
"No, that's not right. Gang Jin is formless and intangible, it's not this white vapor at all. This should just be the heat escaping from the pores of the skin as the body's Qi and blood grow stronger!"
Ding Yi raised an eyebrow, then slowly withdrew his fist and stood up, unable to hide the disappointment on his face.
These days, he has been diligently practicing the White Ape and Python Fist, and he also takes time every day to visualize the image of a white ape coiling around a python. However, his progress in this fist technique is still slow, and he has only just reached a minor level of mastery.
The fist technique, like the martial artist's level of mastery, is divided into three stages: minor mastery, major mastery, and perfection.
Only when one reaches the pinnacle of mastery, achieving a state of inner vision, can the power of this fist technique drive the entire body's skin, muscles, and bones, directing qi and blood to the internal organs.
There are two ways to solve this situation.
The first method is to follow the path of worshipping gods, re-cultivate the methods of worshipping gods, and use evil energy to enter the internal organs to generate evil energy, so there is no need to consider the level of martial arts.
However, Ding Yi had no blueprint for the worship of gods, and his lifespan was not much longer. Even if he were to start over, it would be fraught with difficulties, and there might even be new troubles.
The second option, of course, is to find a way to directly master the fist technique. Although this is conventional, it is the safest approach.
At this moment, Ding Yi stood in the side room, pacing back and forth, weighing the pros and cons of the two methods in his mind.
After a moment, Ding Yi made up his mind. He planned to use the second method to enter the internal organs after he had accumulated enough lifespan.
The next morning, Ding Yi found Bai Wangyun and claimed that he hoped to see the cultivation method for the organ refining stage in advance, so as to have a reference.
Bai Wangyun didn't say anything to Ding Yi, who had been undergoing bone forging for over a month. He simply took out a book called "The Method of Circulating the Five Internal Organs" from the box and handed it to Ding Yi.
According to the old rules, Ding Yi could only watch it once on the spot, and Bai Wangyun did not allow Ding Yi to watch it more than once. He was only told to watch it once to understand the general idea. Otherwise, he would give up because of the difficulty, which would dampen his enthusiasm for bone forging.
Ding Yi naturally had no objection. He sat down at the stone table, opened the book "The Method of Regulating the Five Internal Organs," and began to read.
Just half an hour later, Ding Yi got up, closed the book, and, seemingly lost in thought, returned the book to Bai Wangyun before hurriedly returning to his room.
While the memories in his mind were still clear, Ding Yi prepared ink and took up his pen, and began to write a simplified version of "The Method of Circulating the Five Internal Organs" on a blank sheet of paper according to his memory.
Looking at the thin layer of paper in front of him, Ding Yi gave a wry smile.
Having this technique in hand, I don't have much lifespan left. It's like having a mountain of gold but being unable to use it. But fortunately, everything is ready now, and all that's missing is the right opportunity.
On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, the wind was cold.
That night, Ding Yi sat cross-legged on the bed in the side room as usual, holding a fragment in his right hand and beginning to refine it.
Yesterday, as agreed, he received four more fragments of the divine statue from Xu Nian, and now only one fragment remains.
The fragment in Ding Yi's hand trembled with each breath, and fine cracks appeared on it, threatening to turn into dust and vanish completely.
Suddenly, Ding Yi, who was practicing his internal energy cultivation, felt a crisp "crack" sound from his body. Immediately afterward, his entire spine twisted and undulated like a dragon emerging from the sea, and the blood in his body surged out from his bone marrow, rushing and washing over his eight extraordinary meridians.
Sensing the abnormality within his body, Ding Yi's eyes snapped open, a fleeting look of surprise crossing his face. He murmured involuntarily:
"The Bone Barrier Limit has been broken."
The next moment, all the blood and qi in Ding Yi's body flowed back to his heart, and the pure energy transformed from the refined evil struck his internal organs. Ding Yi inexplicably thought of the "Method of Circulating the Five Internal Organs" he had read today, and immediately, with a thought, he guided this energy to his kidneys as described in the book.
The moment the energy rushed into his kidneys, Ding Yi felt a heat in his kidneys, as if ants were crawling on them, but he didn't feel any itching; instead, he felt extremely comfortable.
[You have achieved a breakthrough in your cultivation level; your lifespan has increased by 10 years.]
[Life expectancy: 14 years and 258 days]
Damn it! ! !
Ding Yi hadn't yet figured out his body's reaction when he suddenly saw the notification pop up in front of him. He was immediately shocked and couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
Ding Yi stood there stunned for several breaths before he finally understood what had just happened.
The person's emotional level has been elevated, thus increasing their lifespan!
Just now, Ding Yi reached the pinnacle of his Bone Barrier Realm, and the energy transformed from the Exorcism Technique automatically rushed into his kidneys, taking the first step into the Refining Organs Realm in a way that resembled worshipping a god!
However, this kind of organ refining realm has a realm but no internal energy, and because it is not evil energy, it has not even generated evil energy. In this respect, it can only be considered half organ refining.
"Rumor has it that a 10% blood transfusion can add half a 60-year lifespan. This organ refining stage adds 10 years to lifespan, no doubt about it."
Ding Yi then remembered the rumor that a martial artist's lifespan would increase with each level they advanced in the later stages of martial arts. Overjoyed, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
In this way, the problem of lifespan that had been troubling him has been solved, and tonight is the perfect time to cultivate his inner strength!
Ding Yi quickly got out of bed, lit the oil lamp, and began to think about how to increase his proficiency in the "White Ape Fist".
After a moment, Ding Yi seemed to have made a decision. He found the small medicine bottle containing the Qi and Blood Pill in the bedroom of the side room, and then took out a wolf-hair brush and an inkstone, and sat down at the table.
Ding Yi first wrote the words "generating a harmonious connection of internal energy" on the bottle, and then turned his attention to the small porcelain bottle.
[Currently, the required lifespan for enhancement is 20 days. Enhance now?]
