Chapter 148 One palm strike knocks down
This Song Liuyin is a master of blood exchange, originally an elder of the Wuji Sect, who quickly defected to the Wanxiang Sect after the Wuji Sect collapsed.
He prided himself on his strength and considered himself a prominent figure in Baihe City, but he never expected to be forced into such a humiliating situation by a junior.
"Li Baozheng, isn't he? You want this elder position? It's simple, defeat me, and I'll..."
Before Song Liuyin could finish speaking, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and pressed down on his head with a palm.
Upon seeing this, Song Liuyin's pupils shrank instantly. Without thinking, she raised her palm to meet the descending hand, and the two collided.
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, everyone saw Song Liuyin's arms bend at an exaggerated angle, and then the hand, with its remaining force, pressed hard on Song Liuyin's forehead.
"Oh!"
Song Liuyin was slammed against the coffee table by the immense force, which then shattered, and she fell heavily to the ground.
Everyone's eyes twitched simultaneously.
Such terrifying physical strength! Without activating his Blood Manifestation or even his罡劲 (罡劲 is a type of internal energy), this guy named Li Baozheng instantly killed Song Liuyin with just his physical strength.
Even though that attack just now had an element of surprise.
Ding Yi withdrew his wrist, looked at Song Liuyin lying on the ground, and laughed loudly:
"Ugh, this pine tree stuff is nothing special! I thought it would be amazing!"
"Sect Master, did you hear that? This old bastard just said that if I defeated him, I could become an elder. Now I've won?"
Ding Yi pointed to Song Liuyin, who was lying on the ground convulsing.
A moment of silence fell over the hall.
Even Wu Lishen, the master of the Heavenly Phenomenon, stared at Ding Yi in disbelief, thinking to himself, "Compared to Li Baozheng, how come I seem more like a cultured person?"
Everyone immediately realized that they must sever all ties with Li Baozheng and absolutely not have anything to do with him. It's no wonder that such a brainless guy would do anything.
Zhou Ruoxu, who was sitting above, quickly recovered after a moment of surprise.
Unlike others, his eyes practically lit up when he looked at Li Baozheng.
Recklessness and overwhelming strength make this guy named Li Baozheng perfect for that kind of thing!
Thinking of this, Zhou Ruoxu smiled and nodded:
"You defeated Elder Song, so the position of elder is naturally yours. Men, take Elder Song out."
Finally, Zhou Ruoxu called two servants to the door and had them carry Song Liuyin, who had fallen to the ground, away.
Ding Yi, naturally, sat back in his original seat with a grin, seemingly quite satisfied with Zhou Ruoxu's decision.
Soon, the morning meeting ended, and Ding Yi returned to his room.
A short while later, a servant knocked on the door and brought a new identity token and a new set of clothes, and handed a booklet to Ding Yi.
The booklet contained the rules that the elders of the Myriad Manifestations Sect had to follow and the rights they possessed. Ding Yi took it and quickly flipped through it, soon finding the "secret manual" category in the booklet.
"As an elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, you can ascend to the fourth floor of the Hundred Secrets Tower and choose a cultivation technique for free."
Upon seeing this line of text, Ding Yi immediately raised an eyebrow.
Since Bai Wangyun said that the elders of the Myriad Manifestations Sect can learn the Refining Spirit Technique, it seems that it must be on the fourth floor of this Hundred Secrets Tower.
Looking at the sky, it was not yet noon, so Ding Yi decided to go directly to Bai Mi Lou.
After asking a servant, Ding Yi finally arrived at a six-story attic.
This pavilion is the Hundred Secrets Pavilion, used by the Myriad Manifestations Sect to store cultivation techniques.
Upon entering the pavilion, Ding Yi saw an old man at the door.
The old man was sitting in a chair smoking when he seemed to sense someone coming in, and immediately muttered something:
"brand."
Ding Yi didn't say anything upon hearing this, but simply took out his elder's token and handed it over.
The old man took the token and looked at it. He seemed a little surprised when he saw the word "Elder" on it. He then looked up and carefully examined Ding Yi's appearance. After that, he didn't say anything more, but took out paper and pen to register it and then said:
"You can only go up to the fourth floor at most. After you've made your choice, bring it down. Remember, you only have half an hour."
Ding Yi nodded upon hearing this, then took the token handed to him by the old man and walked up the steps.
When Ding Yi climbed the steps to the second floor, he suddenly felt as if he had passed through a strange membrane. This feeling was the same as when he walked out of Xiaotan Village wearing Qingyunzi's Taoist robe.
"Formation."
The name immediately came to Ding Yi's mind.
This Baihe City truly lives up to its reputation as a prefecture-level city; the sects within its borders have even ventured into the art of formations, which greatly impressed Ding Yi.
However, since his trip was legitimate, he had nothing to fear. Holding his token, Ding Yi went up two more floors and arrived at the fourth floor of the Hundred Secrets Pavilion.
Looking at the staircase leading to the fifth floor, Ding Yi pondered for a moment and decided to give it a try. However, he discovered that as soon as he approached the fifth floor, a strange force would surge from all directions, preventing him from moving forward.
"It seems the secret is still on this elder's token. Interesting. Could it have some tracking or other random functions on it?"
Ding Yi looked at the inconspicuous black token in his hand and pondered to himself.
However, now was not the time to think about that; Ding Yi immediately began searching the fourth floor at lightning speed.
The first floor of the entire pavilion has the most cultivation techniques, with about several hundred books. The second floor has far fewer, and by the fourth floor, there are only a dozen or so, which are quite easy to find.
Ding Yi flipped through the books one by one, and finally found the incomplete manual of the Divine Refining Technique on the seventh book.
The Secret of Nourishing the Spirit
Looking at the domineering name on the book, Ding Yi couldn't help but smile, and then he started flipping through it.
It must be said that the idea behind this Divine Replenishment Technique is quite ingenious, but unfortunately, it ends after the third level. As Bai Wangyun said, this Divine Replenishment Technique is an incomplete version.
Fortunately, it was an incomplete copy; otherwise, this technique would certainly not have been placed only on the fourth level, allowing elders to have the authority to learn it.
After taking a quick look at the next manuals to make sure he hadn't made the wrong choice, Ding Yi took the Spirit-Replenishing Technique and headed downstairs.
Upon reaching the first floor, Ding Yi placed the manual in front of the old man and asked:
"This is the only one the senior has."
Upon seeing the Spirit-Nourishing Technique that Ding Yi was holding, the old man immediately shook his head. Without saying anything, he simply noted the name of the technique Ding Yi had chosen in the book, and then said:
"The sect's techniques are not allowed to be sold or sold to outsiders. If discovered, the punishment is death. You know that, right?"
"clear."
Ding Yi nodded.
"Okay, take it back and make a copy. Return the original tomorrow."
After registering, the old man said something to Ding Yi.
Ding Yi didn't linger; he smiled, picked up the manual, and hurriedly left.
The old man watched Ding Yi's retreating figure, shaking his head and saying:
"Another fool who's been tricked. If the Divine Restoration Technique really existed, wouldn't everyone be able to enter the Yuan Aperture?"
