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

Chapter 201 Flesh Bodhi

Evergreen seeds?

Ding Yi was startled, and a series of thoughts flashed through his mind.

But the next moment, he let out a sinister laugh:

"What Evergreen Seed, Short Green Seed, trying to confuse me? Dream on!!"

Ding Yi's left fist transformed into a domain, and the ancient tree behind him suppressed a three-zhang radius, firmly binding the slovenly Taoist in the air, which then twisted continuously toward the center.

At the same time, Ding Yi unleashed the Returning Origin with his right fist, using the rotational power within the domain to instantly accelerate the frequency from 2100 to 3200!

"Do not!!"

The slovenly Taoist roared, but the complete domain had already locked him firmly in place. The ancient tree phantom behind Ding Yi sprouted countless vines, which tightly entangled the slovenly Taoist.

"jump!"

With a muffled thud like thunder, the disheveled Taoist's body shattered. A huge shockwave spread rapidly outwards from Ding Yi, bringing with it a large amount of white smoke that blew the entire White Crane Garden into chaos.

Thankfully, the white cranes had already fled this place, otherwise who knows how many would have died by now?

"Click!"

At the same time, accompanied by a crisp sound of a hard object hitting the ground, a small jade-colored statue suddenly appeared in Ding Yi's sight.

[You have slain the demonic cultivator of the Seven Absolutes Palace. Your lifespan has increased by 89 years and 13 days!]

[You have killed the Four-Eyed Taoist's clone. Your lifespan has been increased by 95 years and 34 days!]

I grass!

Ding Yi was immediately struck by the prompt in front of him and couldn't help but think to himself, "Awesome!"

A lifespan of 184 years, which is roughly two hundred years!

With this jade-colored statue, this trip was truly worthwhile!

No wonder that Taoist priest was able to suddenly worship the god; it turns out he had been carrying a jade-colored statue with him all along.

Ding Yi picked up the statue from the ground and found that this jade-colored statue was much smaller than the normal statues. He wondered how much lifespan this statue could provide him.

Ding Yi pursed his lips, then remembered the name Changqingzi that the slovenly Taoist priest had mentioned earlier.

Changqingzi? Why would he think I'm Changqingzi?

Is it because I look like him? No, that guy obviously only said that when he saw me casting my domain, which means that he must have seen something in his domain and that's why he mistook it for something else.

Is it the way the domain operates? Or is it just the phantom of the large tree behind me?

damn it!

Ding Yi was somewhat agitated at this moment. He had previously felt that his Evergreen True Qi might not be so simple, but now it seemed that the secrets behind this Evergreen True Qi were probably beyond his imagination.

Several thoughts flashed through Ding Yi's mind in an instant, and he stood there with a gloomy and uncertain expression.

It was at this moment that Sun Qiao'er quietly came to Ding Yi's side.

"Master, where is that Taoist priest?"

Sun Qiao'er asked.

"It's already scattered everywhere by the wind. Let's go check on Sun Tao."

Ding Yi glanced at the chaotic scene around him, then tore off a piece of cloth from his body to wrap the statue before walking out of the White Crane Garden.

Just as Ding Yi and his companion reached the second courtyard, they suddenly saw a Taoist priest carrying a sword staggering toward them.

"You guys?! Senior Brother Du failed too?!"

Lin Chenjiu was covered in blood, and his Taoist robe was tattered. The moment he saw Ding Yi and the other person, he let out an incredulous low roar.

"sword."

Ding Yi stretched out his hand, and Sun Qiao'er, who was standing next to him, handed him the long sword she was holding.

At this moment, Ding Yi's vital energy was completely exhausted, and he could no longer use the Return to Origin technique. He could only rely on his sword.

However, Lin Chenjiu was only a Xuanji Realm cultivator and was quite seriously injured, so there was no need for her to use the Guiyuan Secret Technique.

Thinking of this, Ding Yi took a step forward, raised his long sword as a long knife, and slashed at Lin Chenjiu's head.

"Ding!!"

Lin Chenjiu felt a sudden gust of wind above his head and quickly raised his sword to block it, but the next moment he was shaken by a huge force that made his arms go numb. Before he could catch his breath, he felt another powerful force coming down from the long sword in his hand.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

Ding Yi remained expressionless and continued to strike with his sword for seven times until Lin Chenjiu could no longer hold onto the sword and it finally fell to the ground with a "clink".

Seeing this, Ding Yi did not stop, but continued to chop without expression.

Lin Chenjiu quickly leaped to the left, but suddenly felt a tremendous force on his right leg. He turned his head and saw Ding Yi staring at him with a sinister grin, while his right hand firmly gripped his right leg.

"No! Don't kill me, I'll tell you everything!!"

Lin Chenjiu shouted in a panic, but the next moment his body was suddenly pulled back, and at the same time a sword cleaved his head open.

[You have slain the evil Taoist priest of the Seven Absolutes Palace; your lifespan has increased by 64 years and 13 days.]

Upon seeing this, Ding Yi couldn't help but purse his lips, and then handed the longsword, which had already been chipped in a large chunk, back to Sun Qiao'er.

"What kind of sword is this? It's so soft, it's not even satisfying to use to cut people!"

"..."

Sun Qiao'er took the software, feeling somewhat like crying.

No sooner had Ding Yi finished speaking than chaotic footsteps came from the doorway.

Then, several figures rushed into the courtyard, and the one in the lead was none other than Sun Tao!

The first thing Sun Tao saw when he rushed in was the Taoist priest whose head was split in two on the ground. Then, he saw Ding Yi and the guest elder standing behind the corpse.

"Elephant Lord, I failed to stop this evil Taoist, please punish me!"

Sun Tao immediately knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said to Ding Yi.

Ding Yi looked at Sun Tao, who was covered in blood, and his several panicked gang members behind him, and waved his hand, saying:

"You have done good, how can you talk about wrongdoing? Get up!"

After getting up, Sun Tao breathed a sigh of relief. Although Li Xiangzhu was extremely powerful, he was rumored to be unpredictable and had been afraid of being killed by him with a single sword strike.

"Ah, is this Li Xiangzhu of the Myriad Manifestations Sect? Seeing is believing!"

Suddenly, a fat man pushed through the crowd and bowed to Ding Yi.

"Master Wu, you must tell me properly, what happened?"

Ding Yi looked at Wu Fengbao and said calmly.

After a stick of incense had burned, Ding Yi and Wu Fengbao stood in a flower bed in the middle of Baihe Garden, looking at the strange fleshy ball under their feet, which was covered by a transparent dome.

The fleshy ball was covered with densely packed runes, which Ding Yi found somewhat familiar, as they seemed to resemble some of the symbols in the Yin-Yang Grand Array beneath the Yin-Yang Palace.

"what is this?"

Ding Yi couldn't help but ask.

"Alas, Lord Li, you may not know this, but this is the Flesh Bodhi, one of the earth's spiritual treasures. Consuming it can generate blood and essence, and even prolong life. It was caught by a white crane a few months ago from somewhere."

Wu Fengbao shook his head and said.

"A fleshy Bodhi seed? Alive?"

Ding Yi was taken aback.

"It can't be said to be alive, but rather that it has a spirit. And I don't know how the people from the Seven Absolutes Palace found out about the news of the Flesh Bodhi. They rushed over quickly, took control of this place, and set up this formation here."

"In addition, they instructed me to recruit many retainers, lure them to the manor, and then begin the practice of demonic cultivation."

"I also took advantage of an opportunity to send a close friend to Baiyun City for help."

Wu Fengbao sighed.

Ding Yi looked at the fleshy Bodhi tree in front of him, stood there pondering, and then suddenly spoke:

"I helped you get rid of the external evil, so consider this as my reward."

"Lord Li is too kind. This item is beyond my control. Lord Li is destined to have it, so I will give it to you. I hope that Lord Li will take good care of my manor in the future."

Wu Fengbao looked at the fleshy ball, shook his head and smiled bitterly, then spoke to Ding Yi.

"By the way, I've been secretly observing these sorcerers lately and I've noticed that they often leave and then return, but the time between departures is no more than two days."

"I suspect that their other secret location is within these two hundred miles."

Wu Fengbao looked at Ding Yi, who remained silent, and then spoke.

"Oh?"

This time, it was Ding Yi's turn to be surprised.

Although Wu Fengbao was in a dangerous situation, he was still able to take the opportunity to pass on intelligence, and even in the midst of a crisis, he was able to glean such useful information. It has to be said, this guy is a talent.

"How sure are you?"

Ding Yi asked slowly.

"My lord, I can't say I'm sure of success, but I've marked several hiding places within a two-hundred-mile radius on the map. Please take a look."

Wu Fengbao quickly clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, then took out a scroll from his bosom and handed it to Ding Yi.

Upon seeing this, Ding Yi took the scroll and then said:

"If your prediction is correct, I guarantee that White Crane Manor will be safe and sound for ten years."

P.S.: I'm sick, so only one chapter today.
