With only 8 years to live at the start, I'm going all in.

Chapter 129 The Wonders of the World



Chapter 129 The Wonders of the World

Ding Yi opened the first page of "Breaking Through Illusions and Exploring Hidden Truths" and saw a huge eyeball drawn on it.

Although the eyes are drawn on paper, they seem to have a soul, possessing a captivating and eerie quality.

After taking one look, Ding Yi felt a chill run down his spine, as if those eyes were possessing a soul and peering into his deepest secrets. He quickly flipped the book to the second page.

"That's really weird."

Ding Yi muttered something, then glanced at the subsequent cultivation steps, and then, enduring the discomfort, began to copy the visualization diagram of this cultivation method.

It must be said that Ding Yi has gained experience from copying these visualization diagrams so many times.

Following the steps from the inside out and from top to bottom, Ding Yi completed the copy in the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea.

Immediately afterwards, Ding Yi tore up the paper and poured it into the porcelain bottle containing the Qi and Blood Pill. He then quickly wrote the words "Suitable for use without side effects, perfect for breaking through illusions and exploring hidden truths" on the bottle.

[Currently, the required lifespan for enhancement is 45 years. Should I enhance it?]

Holy crap!! Such a long lifespan?!

Although Ding Yi cursed inwardly, he had no choice but to strengthen the weapon as before and could only select "yes".

Soon, with a gentle shake of the medicine bottle, Ding Yi skillfully poured out the pills from the porcelain bottle, put them into his mouth, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and sat quietly, waiting for the medicine to take effect.

Just a dozen breaths later, Ding Yi opened his eyes again.

At that moment, a white light seemed to shoot out from Ding Yi's open eyes, and gradually dissipated after being about ten feet away from Ding Yi.

"What a wonderful feeling! It seems like I can see things more clearly now, and I can even see some things in the dark."

Ding Yi looked at the dark corners untouched by the light and marveled inwardly.

continue!

Ding Yi picked up the parchment on the table and continued reading.

Sure enough, new writing began to appear on the parchment at that moment.

I felt a transformation emanating from my eyes, and I gained more confidence in my battle against the demonic monk from Baiyun Temple.

[But that's not enough. Just seeing it isn't enough. Without a strong defense, I probably wouldn't last ten moves.]

If I could find five body-refining techniques and master them, perhaps I could withstand the attack of the descent of the spirits.

Alright, a new prompt has appeared.

Is this a defensive move?

Ding Yi put down the parchment, flipped through the martial arts manuals piled on the table, and found five body-refining techniques: "Diamond Skill," "Myriad Treasures Body," "Iron Crotch Skill," "Arhat Body," and "Iron Ox Body"—all common body-refining martial arts.

This time, the scroll's hint was that all five body-refining martial arts manuals needed to be perfected, which was quite a task.

Ding Yi had no time to sigh and quickly got to work on the desk.

The process of strengthening, copying, and taking medicine was completed in one go, a total of five times, consuming 115 years of his lifespan.

After successfully completing the last martial arts manual, Ding Yi felt a deep, rumbling sound, like a bull's roar, suddenly emanate from within his body.

A violent hunger surged from his stomach, and his once powerful vital energy began to shrink rapidly, as if it were being devoured by the cells in his body.

"Grass!"

Ding Yi quickly took out the Qi and Blood Pills next to him and ate them one after another like beans.

After taking the ninth pill, Ding Yi realized that the rate at which his Qi and blood were declining was beginning to calm down, and he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Ding Yi stretched out his palm and examined it closely under the light, only to find that his once full body was now somewhat shriveled, just like when he had his blood transfusion.

But Ding Yi knew that this was a side effect of the deficiency of qi and blood in his body. The reason why he was stable now was simply because the effect of the Qi and Blood Pill, combined with his blood production speed and the rate of qi and blood loss, had reached a balance.

This process won't last too long, since with Ding Yi's blood-generating speed at the Three Realms Extreme, this state of blood and qi deficiency can be reversed very quickly.

"Now that the defensive weakness has been addressed, what's next? Offense?"

Ding Yi pondered to himself, then continued to look at the parchment.

I felt a transformation coming from my body, and I even felt a sense of anticipation for the battle against the demonic monk from Baiyun Temple.

But defense alone is not enough. Without effective means of attack, I seem unable to harm Duji, who is possessed by the evil god.

I think that mastering five different boxing techniques might be quite effective.

"Again!"

Ding Yi was taken aback, but there was nothing he could do. The method described on the parchment was a bit unorthodox, but it seemed to make a lot of sense.

Since I risked my life for it, I suppose I wouldn't lie to myself.

Ding Yi followed the same method, using another forty-three years of his lifespan to strengthen the four fist techniques, and then using another forty-nine years of his lifespan to use the Divine Illumination Technique to bring them all to the Perfect Realm.

After completing the last fist technique, Divine Illumination, Ding Yigang was about to stand up when he suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from inside his head.

"Ahhh!!"

The tearing pain nearly made him kneel on the ground, and he let out a low growl of agony.

"master?!"

Liu Xun, who was outside the door, seemed to have heard the noise and wanted to come in to check.

"Don't come in!"

Ding Yi gritted his teeth and tried his best to regain his composure as he shouted towards the door.

"Grass!!"

Ding Yi seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly struggled to climb onto the chair, picked up the parchment on the table, and saw that new words had appeared on the paper.

The excessive improvement in martial arts has exceeded my mental threshold; I must quickly cultivate a mental martial art.

Unfortunately, mental martial arts are extremely rare; such techniques are unheard of in small towns.

If I don't come up with something soon, I might die.

"Fuck your grandpa!! Can't you stop saying half a sentence?!"

Ding Yi was on the verge of tears, because he only had about 5 years left to live. Not only was there no readily available Refining Spirit Technique for him to strengthen himself, but even if there were, the price would be beyond his means!

Things suddenly reached a dead end!

"No! Since the parchment has given us a clue, there must be a way out!"

"Let me think about it, let me think about it."

Ding Yi pressed his throbbing temples, his eyes gradually turning bloodshot, but his mind was racing with thoughts.

Suddenly, Ding Yi was startled and thought of a certain possibility. He quickly got up and went to the table. He put a Qi and Blood Pill into the porcelain bottle and continued to write the entry "Increases mental threshold, suitable for one day".

[Currently, the required lifespan for enhancement is 1 years and 23 days. Enhance now?]

"Yes!"

Upon seeing the prompt, Ding Yi didn't hesitate and immediately selected "yes".

Immediately afterwards, the small porcelain bottle on the table trembled slightly, and then Ding Yi couldn't wait to open it and pour out the pills inside.

【Heavenly Nourishing Spirit Pill】

[The mighty destiny has seized my spirit. This is a unique elixir of the Heavenly Destiny Sect, which strengthens the soul upon consumption and is a type of Lesser Heavenly Pill. Note: The effects of this elixir last for one day.]

Current life expectancy: 4 years and 275 days

Upon seeing the prompt, Ding Yi immediately grabbed the pill and swallowed it.

As the elixir entered his mouth and transformed into a fragrant liquid that seeped into his throat, Ding Yi suddenly felt his mind clear and he seemed to smell jasmine flowers under his nose.

The sharp pain in his head disappeared instantly, and in a moment, Ding Yi felt completely refreshed, inside and out.

An indescribable feeling of comfort almost made Ding Yi cry out.

This is precisely the leap forward of the powerful class, a rebirth gained through hardship!

All in, once again made Ding Yi experience the wonders of life!
