Chapter 60 Duobao Tower
Ding Yi looked at Bai Wangyun striding over and his heart pounded.
This Bai Wangyun is a genuine Blood Exchange Realm martial artist, the highest level of cultivation he has been able to come into contact with so far.
But it's definitely not okay to make a move now, he still has books hidden near his crotch!
Immediately, Ding Yi shouted:
"Master, today is not the right time. I have matters to attend to at the Patrol Division, so I specifically asked for leave to come and ask you some questions!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Wangyun was slightly taken aback, then said somewhat listlessly:
"What a disappointment! Everyone treats me like I'm a tiger. Tell me, what problem have you run into this time?"
Seeing this, Ding Yi knew that Bai Wangyun had let him go this time, and immediately asked:
"Master, do you know where in this outer city statues can be hidden?"
Bai Wangyun was stunned when he heard this, and then his face turned cold.
"Xiao Qi, are you trying to worship a god?!"
"Let me make this clear from the start: if any of my disciples ever worships gods, I will personally kill them!!"
Bai Wangyun looked at Ding Yi, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said in a cold voice.
"Master, how could that be!"
Ding Yi hurriedly explained.
"The recent events at Qingsi Temple have caused quite a stir in the department, and we still haven't been able to find any clues. So I thought I'd come and ask you, Master, if someone really did take the statue, where might they be hiding it?"
"Of course, it would be best to also mention places where evil energy might be present. Perhaps it's hidden in these places; otherwise, how come we haven't been able to find it by now?"
After Ding Yi finished speaking, Bai Wangyun's expression relaxed slightly. He looked at Ding Yi and suddenly said:
"We martial artists have a difficult path to cultivation. We must endure hardships that ordinary people cannot bear in order to make progress every day."
"But worshiping gods is all about singing and dancing, and spiritual practice is as simple as drinking water and eating."
"The key to this is nothing more than the evil spirit."
"The most direct source of this malevolent energy is naturally the statues of gods, but these statues are treasures of various divine palaces and immortal temples, and you generally can't find them. In the outer city, there's not much place to hide complete statues, after all, the malevolent energy is too strong and the target is too obvious. If we could find them, we would have found them long ago."
Ding Yi frowned upon hearing this, and then asked:
"Then there's no way out?"
"Not entirely. A complete statue is too easy to expose, so breaking it into fragments would make it easier to hide."
"However, this statue cannot be easily destroyed, otherwise the evil energy that surges out in an instant will be too dense and will create a malevolent domain. You must remember this."
"As for those places you mentioned where the presence of malevolent energy is still normal, then it can only be the blacksmith shop and the alchemy workshop."
"Some weapons used in worship will carry evil energy, and similarly, some evil demons will also carry some."
Bai Wangyun said this while pondering.
"Demon Fiend?"
Although it was the first time Ding Yi had heard this term, the image of the two three-eyed demon elephants that pulled the special carriage of the Yin-Yang Palace came to mind.
"They follow the same path as the gods, and are a type of demonic beast that cultivates using malevolent energy. However, they are different from humans and demons who are corrupted by malevolent energy. The latter do not have malevolent energy, but their minds and bodies have been altered by it. The former, on the other hand, use malevolent energy to cultivate. They both belong to the lineage of the gods."
After Bai Wangyun finished speaking, seeing Ding Yi's furrowed brows, he assumed Ding Yi was still worried and immediately said:
“We warriors, though living in this chaotic world, are not necessarily worse off than worshipping gods, so you don’t need to worry too much.”
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi quickly cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you, Master. I have learned a lot from you!"
"Well, it's fine to talk about worshipping gods in front of me, but you must not talk about it outside. Otherwise, you might offend the Yin-Yang Palace, which would be bad."
"Also, you've already reached the Bone Forging Realm, and you can receive three sets of medicinal bath materials from the martial arts school every month. Since you're here today, take them with you!"
Bai Wangyun continued.
"Huh? There's something else to collect!"
Ding Yi was taken aback.
"Nonsense, you are my true disciple. However, the medicine for the Bone Forging Realm is quite expensive. There are only three doses a month. You'll have to find a way to get the rest yourself."
Bai Wangyun said irritably.
"Master, what about the Qi and Blood Pill? Does the martial arts school have a way to obtain the Qi and Blood Pill?"
Ding Yi suddenly remembered something and quickly asked.
"No, the Qi and Blood Pill is different from ordinary medicinal materials. It contains the flesh and blood of demonic beasts, which is very beneficial to martial arts practitioners. It is tightly controlled by the major families in the inner city."
Bai Wangyun shook his head.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, go investigate. But remember what I said: never, ever let your guard down against the Gods. Theoretically, they are no longer human. Most importantly, stay away from the Fiend Domain at all times. This is a dead end that even the Gods themselves cannot solve!"
After Bai Wangyun finished speaking, he waved to Ding Yi.
"The Domain of Evil..."
Ding Yi's heart skipped a beat. Although he wanted to ask more questions, he saw that Bai Wangyun had already walked towards the stone table and knew that there was probably no chance today. So he called out to Bai Wangyun, "Disciple is leaving," and then left on his own.
Ding Yi was in a good mood after leaving the martial arts school, at least he had figured out some places where evil energy might exist.
Although he was not worshipping gods at the moment, he was following the path of worshipping gods. Theoretically speaking, as long as there was a continuous source of evil energy, he could cultivate continuously and truly make great progress every day.
Last night, Ding Yi also tried to use the system to enhance a statue with malevolent energy for his training, but the final result showed that the required lifespan for enhancement was a full 20 years!
It should be noted that Ding Yi only gained about 16 years of lifespan after absorbing a white statue. This result can only mean that the cost of creating evil energy out of thin air is much higher!
The alchemy workshop and blacksmith shop that Bai Wangyun just mentioned are both located in the inner city. Given Ding Yi's current status, he has no way to enter the inner city, and he cannot currently access these two places.
After much deliberation, Ding Yi decided to try his luck in the outer city to see if he could find any clues about the fragments.
Soon, Ding Yi arrived at a two-story building called "Wanbaolou".
This Wanbaolou is quite famous in the outer city, selling rare and unusual items. I heard that the owner behind it all comes from the inner city.
Upon entering the small building, Ding Yi saw a few scattered people strolling around Wanbaolou. They were all dressed in fine silk and satin, clearly not from poor families.
When the shop assistants saw Ding Yi wearing the Flying Cloud Robe, their expressions immediately changed, and they jogged over to him.
"Sir, what business requires your personal intervention?"
The waiter was a young man, looking no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, but he spoke fluently and with perfect timing, clearly having worked there for quite some time.
"It's nothing, where's your manager?"
Ding Yi looked around and then spoke.
Upon hearing this, the waiter immediately smiled and said:
"Sir, just tell me what you want. Calling the master has already taken up your time."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi frowned:
"hurry up."
"Hey, sir, please calm down. I'll go right now!"
The shop assistant realized that Ding Yi didn't seem to be there to buy anything, so he quickly said something and then hurriedly ran towards the back room of the hall.
P.S.: Please remember to give this a five-star review, everyone!
