Chapter 393 A New Ascension Ointment?!
The boy looked at the man, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes, but he still let out a strange laugh and continued:
"Alright, bring the item over once you find it. If someone else gets there first, there's nothing we can do."
As the child spoke, he took out a stack of papers from his pocket, quickly pulled out three sheets, and handed them to the man in front of him.
The man looked at the paper the child handed him, then took out a pair of gloves from his pocket, put them on, and then took the paper and looked through it.
"When did the Blood Tower people become so cautious?"
The child was taken aback by the man's actions, and a thought inexplicably arose in her mind.
Meanwhile, the man on the other side glanced at the details of the three tasks, but his face remained expressionless. Instead, he turned around and walked straight outside.
Once outside the attic, the man merged into the crowd and soon disappeared from sight.
Soon, the man arrived at a secluded tavern in Chaos City and sat down.
In the Upper Realm, restaurants primarily serve not food, but rather provide a relatively secluded area.
After all, food is no longer important to cultivators in the upper realms; they are more concerned with a private area that can be found at any time.
For example, trading, dual cultivation with humans or spirits, and cultivation itself.
Especially in places like Chaotic Lands, restaurants have become more frequently used than brothels, making them one of the most frequented areas by cultivators.
The man sat in a room provided by the restaurant and then began to carefully examine the folded pages in his hand by the light of the oil lamp provided in the room.
The man was, of course, Ding Yi in disguise.
Ding Yi's purpose for this trip was simple: he had to find the person who sent the message and then kill him.
The best way to find the source is to confront yourself and deliver the result.
Ding Yi casually tossed the other two folded pages aside and picked up the one that was looking for him, then began to read it.
After a moment, Ding Yi put down the folded page, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.
"Judging from this, the person who is looking for me is most likely Xiao Yuangong."
"How dare these people from Xiaoyuan Palace be so bold? This is a chaotic place!"
Upon realizing this, Ding Yi's lips curled into a sinister grin.
He had already come up with a great idea to give the person who was looking for him a huge surprise.
On the other side, inside a pavilion in the city.
Zhu Wanyin was comfortably reclining in his armchair, his hands resting above his dantian, his eyes slightly closed, inhaling the black smoke drifting from the side.
After a long pause, he groaned, then slowly sat up from the chair, but his eyes remained closed. He simply asked softly:
"how's it going?"
Behind him, one of the two black-robed guards spoke slowly:
"Reporting to Lord Wanyin, the Dark Tower has already sent out the message, but it's quite interesting. It seems that quite a few of those who went out on missions these past few days have died out there."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Wanyin chuckled and opened his eyes. Looking ahead, he slowly said:
"It seems the little mouse has already smelled something."
The man in black robes paused for a moment upon hearing this, then slowly said:
"My Lord Xuan, this is, after all, the territory of the Demon Palace. Although it is only an outer city, have we been waiting here for too long?"
After the man in black robes finished speaking, Zhu Wanyin sneered and said:
Do you know why you and Jiu Mo have remained at the initial stage of the Profound Monarch realm for a hundred years without any progress?
"Because you have lost the heart of a strong person!"
"Why should a mere border town in a chaotic place, with its city lord who is only at the True Person Realm, be so timid and hesitant?"
"I, Zhu Wanyin, have killed countless Xuanjuns. Even weaklings and ants see me as if I were an immortal. The True Person Realm is beyond your reach, but it is not something I cannot fight!"
Zhu Wanyin stood up as he spoke. He took a deep breath, feeling the surging true energy within his body, and then said:
"I have a feeling that as long as I catch this little mouse and use its flesh to refine the Ascension Ointment, I can break through the shackles and glimpse the Realm of the True Person."
Upon hearing this, the two black-robed men behind Zhu Wanyin trembled, then bowed in unison and said:
Congratulations to Lord Wanyin!
At this point, they finally understood why the high and mighty Zhu Wanyin was so interested in a mere ascendant—it turned out that he had already sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough!
The shackles of cultivation are sometimes so mysterious. Some people can break through them by visiting a brothel, some need to cultivate for three hundred years, and some need to run naked. But no matter what, without exception, such people are all geniuses in cultivation.
However, it cannot be denied that such an opportunity is rare and hard to come by, something that all cultivators dream of.
"Tell the people in the Dark Tower to increase the reward and make the matter as big as possible!"
"I, Zhu Wanyin, will surely break through the Profound Realm here and step into the Great Dao of the True Person!!"
Hehehe, hehehe!!!
As Zhu Wanyin finished speaking, he let out a strange laugh, which echoed throughout the dark room.
On the other side, after reviewing the mission information at the restaurant, Ding Yi already had an idea in mind.
At this moment, what he needs most is not to find the person behind the scenes, but to solve the flaw of his weak soul defense.
The solution is, of course, quite simple.
The first method involves finding a divine technique that strengthens the soul, and then using the Divine Illumination Technique to directly accelerate the technique to minor or major mastery.
The second method involves using one's own refining techniques to create another immortal artifact capable of defending against attacks on the soul.
Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages, but Ding Yi, after weighing the pros and cons, chose the latter.
After all, the former would need at least a ready-made cultivation technique as a strengthening material, but given his current status, obtaining such a technique would definitely arouse the suspicion of the Blood Tower, especially after he had met that perverted man.
The second option is much better.
He is now a pharmacist, and can use that identity to obtain a large amount of materials.
No matter how strange the materials are, the people of Blood Tower won't say anything. After all, it's not surprising that such an evil thing as Ascension Ointment uses any kind of stuff.
Thinking of this, Ding Yi put away the origami and then walked out of the restaurant at a leisurely pace.
Soon, Chen Hua, the newly appointed manager of the Blood Tower, received a box of Ascension Ointment and a long list of materials.
When Chen Hua first saw the materials, he thought Ding Yi was joking with him. After all, each of the materials on the list was priceless, and one of them was a Buddhist relic. If the monks in the Immortal Alliance found out about this, they would definitely come and destroy this place.
"Holy crap! Has this new pharmacist gone mad?!"
"You think this is a charity hall?!"
"This blood-enhancing ointment can increase the efficacy of medicine by 10%? Damn... Hmm? It smells so good..."
As Chen Hua cursed loudly, he casually opened the box of the Ascension Ointment, only to find a faint fragrance wafting out.
"There's absolutely no fishy smell, just a strong herbal aroma. Could this be a new model?"
Chen Hua's eyes widened as if he had just realized something.
