Chapter 367
During this period, Ding Yi could always vaguely hear the screams of people coming from above the cave entrance.
This sound was extremely miserable, like the screams of a duck with its neck strangled when it was dying.
Ding Yi understood that these were the screams of those who ascended like himself.
Under this black wood cliff, there were countless ascenders imprisoned.
These ascenders came from different human and animal realms, some were nearly a thousand years old, and some were only a hundred years old.
Some of them were human, some were demons, and some other strange races, but no matter what race they were, as long as they ascended, there was only one fate waiting for them: to become nutrients for the people of Xiaoyuan Palace to practice.
In fact, the practice method in the entire Immortal Alliance was very simple and crude.
The first one, of course, was to improve the cultivation by absorbing the power of faith in worshiping gods in the lower realm.
The second one was to raise the cultivators who ascended from the lower realm in captivity and obtain soul power by draining their souls, thereby improving the cultivation.
There are two ways, one is quantity and the other is quality. But for the ascenders, their belief and potential to break the shackles of heaven and earth make their souls much stronger than those who worship gods.
Therefore, the ascenders are extremely precious in the entire Immortal Alliance and are hard currency.
The way each palace exploits the ascenders is almost the same. They will use the souls of the ascenders to refine something called ascension paste, but the refining techniques of each family are different.
This ascension paste only needs to be inhaled through the nose during cultivation. At that time, with the help of special medicines, it can make the cultivation level go up by leaps and bounds. It is a very domineering way of cultivation.
But the side effects of this ascension paste are also obvious.
Some cultivators cannot bear the stimulation brought by the ascension paste, and their bodies will have an overreaction, resulting in certain changes.
This change is mostly manifested on the skin or face. For example, some cultivators will have pus on their bodies and stink after inhaling the ascension paste for a long time, while some cultivators will have strange sores on their faces, and even bone teeth on their flesh, which is extremely evil.
This is because the Ascension Cream absorbs the soul of the ascender, and inevitably absorbs their resentment and hatred.
Once this kind of thing reaches a certain critical point, it will cause the absorber to mutate, so there is a saying of drug resistance.
A cultivator with strong talent, like Zhu Wanyin, has a very strong resistance to the mutation of this Ascension Cream, and even dares to try some strong drugs, so he has the reputation of being the first genius in a thousand years.
In the Immortal Alliance, only the Yin-Yang Palace takes the path of collecting and replenishing. Regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, once entering the Yin-Yang Palace, there is only one end, that is, becoming a plaything of collecting and replenishing.
But no matter what, as long as you are an ascender, enter the Immortal Alliance, you can't think of walking out alive.
But if someone asks, why is the Immortal Alliance like this, and still calls itself the Immortal Alliance, then what about the Demon Palace in the upper world?
Ding Yi doesn't know, and he didn't get the answer from Jin Wuhuan's description, but compared to the ascenders of the Immortal Alliance who fell into the hands of the Demon Palace, I am afraid that their end will be more miserable.
At this moment, the old pharmacist who was in charge of refining the Ascension Cream in Xiaoyuan Palace was standing in the sky prison of Heimu Cliff, looking at the holes under his feet, and asked slowly:
"There are only three mature ones in this batch?"
The guard next to him hurriedly said:
"Reporting to Deacon Huang, there are only three in this batch that have reached the medicinal period, and one of them is a wolf demon, so it took a little longer."
Huang Xieyuan frowned when he heard this, then he glanced around and suddenly asked:
"What about the new ones, how many new ones have come?"
The guard replied:
"There are two this month, one of them is a warrior, and the other seems to be What mechanical ascension. "
Huang Xieyuan cursed immediately after hearing this:
"What I hate most is that mechanical ascension. After spending so much time, I can only produce a little ascension paste. What's the use? !"
"Forget it, watch them all. If there is any problem, you know the consequences!"
After saying that, Huang Xieyuan snorted coldly, and then said:
"Send the three ripe ones to me, I want to develop a new medicine!"
The guard smiled and said:
"Please rest assured, Deacon Huang, I will send it immediately, I will send it immediately!"
After Huang Xieyuan left, screams suddenly rang out in the whole prison.
The ascenders in the three holes were easily caught and carried by the guards like livestock, and then slowly walked out of the prison.
In this way, another half a month passed.
On this day, Ding Yi was still leaning against the stone wall to practice.
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking air from above, Ding Yi suddenly opened his eyes, and then saw two figures suddenly falling in front of him from above.
Both of them were wearing the uniforms of the guards of Blackwood Cliff, one of them was holding a book, and the other was holding a bronze mirror.
After they landed, they said nothing, and then pointed the bronze mirror directly at Ding Yi.
The next moment, a golden light flew out, instantly covering Ding Yi's entire body.
Facing this sudden golden light, Ding Yi was not panicked, but he knew that this was the magic weapon used by Xiaoyuan Palace to test the degree of soul erosion of the imprisoned ascenders every month.
Sure enough, under the light, the guard holding the bronze mirror slowly said:
"Progress is one degree three, medium."
The recorder next to him quickly recorded it in the book, and then the two of them turned into a beam of light and rushed out of the cave without saying a word.
From the beginning to the end, they did not say a word to Ding Yi, nor did they have any expression changes. The whole process was like a mechanized inspection, just like treating domestic animals.
After the two left, Ding Yi's eyes showed a playful smile.
He naturally knew about this kind of test, and even prepared the soul-forgetting progress adjustment potion in advance.
The price of this potion is also three hundred years, which also makes Ding Yi's life span after strengthening this potion directly hit the bottom.
However, the effect of this potion is obvious. The bronze mirror did not detect the actual state of Ding Yi's soul at all, and even gave him a medium rating.
You know, once the rating reaches the lower level, the people of Xiaoyuan Palace will begin to use additional means to gradually disintegrate the will of the ascender.
Just like Jin Wuhuan, just a woman broke the waist of this peerless talent.
Looking at the dark cave above, Ding Yi pressed his chest with his palm when he was sure that no one was looking at this side, and then quietly took out a stone.
This is the mother stone that Ding Yi brought up from the lower world. All the evil spirits that the worshippers passed to the statue will be concentrated on this stone.
After half a month, Ding Yi didn't know how much evil spirit had accumulated on this mother stone. He just felt that the stone became darker. Upon closer inspection, it seemed as if the stars were reversed in it, and there was a magnificent sense of mystery.
A smile appeared on the corner of Ding Yi's mouth, and then he put the mother stone in his palm and quietly turned on the evil spirit art.
The next moment, the lines of prompts kept jumping in his vision.
[You have refined a trace of Yin and Yang evil spirits, life span +10 days]
[You have refined a trace of Yin and Yang evil spirits, life span +6 days]
[You have refined a trace of Taiping evil spirits, life span +14 days]
..
Hmm?
Ding Yi clearly saw the words Taiping Palace in the prompt, which also meant that the statue of Taiping Palace had been built, and the worshippers there began to input evil spirits into the evil plate every day.
"Life is getting more and more promising."
Ding Yi held the stone tightly and laughed.
