Mystery licked his lips with an expression of longing for more. After eating a few green fruits, his lost vitality quickly returned, and in the blink of an eye, he regained his youth.
His greyish-white hair returned to silver at a speed visible to the naked eye, exuding a faint silver brilliance. His skin regained its elasticity, and his whole body was full of endless strength. Most importantly, his perception of the surrounding environment had been greatly improved, and even his cultivation had been faintly improved.
Bai Xun 'er ate a few green fruits in succession, and the surging Spiritual Power of Wood Attribute flowed in her body. She immediately sat cross-legged to meditate and refine the medicine.
A big hand suddenly rested on her shoulder. Bai Xun 'er's body stiffened, but then she relaxed. She knew it was Ding Ning, so she did not resist.
Ding Ning was delighted. While constantly opening up her meridians, he was also quietly improving her genes. Until the mark representing the formation of the contract lit up in his sea of consciousness, he let go of her with satisfaction. Now Bai Xun 'er could no longer escape. She had become his maid.
Of course, the status of the maids in his family was very high, and the specific status could be compared to Luoxue, the young mistress.
Ding Ning did not feel guilty, nor did he feel that he was despicable. After all, Bai Xun 'er, whose genes had been improved, would achieve far more in the future than she should have.
To his surprise, in addition to the Decomposition Superpower, he also got a Stripping Superpower from Bai Xun 'er. However, Bai Xun' er could use her vertical pupils to use these two superpowers as rays to kill enemies, but he could not. He could only use his Absolute Touch through his limbs.
But it was enough for him. He had a lot of Pupillary Skills, so he didn't care about having two more. What made him excited was that the appearance of these two supernatural abilities indicated that his Absolute Touch had reached a new level.
As a very dedicated doctor, the first thing that came to his mind was that these two abilities could play a role in alchemy. His Absolute Touch could only sense the components of objects he came into contact with, but it could not directly act on objects. He could only extract the required components of objects through external means.
But now, with the Decomposition and Stripping Superpowers, he could directly decompose a herb, and then strip out the medicinal properties he needed, directly retaining the purest medicinal properties.
This was only in the aspect of alchemy. What if it was refining weapons? He could completely extract the essence of the mineral directly and use it as a material for refining weapons, saving the process of quenching.
Looking at it from another angle, what if it was murder? As long as he made physical contact with the enemy, he could directly disintegrate the enemy's vital internal organs and kill them. This meant that he was invincible in close combat.
Of course, there was no such thing as absolute invincibility in this world. If he were to encounter a powerful warrior, just the pressure alone would be enough to make him unable to move. He would be directly shattered before he could even get close. However, he was already very satisfied. At the very least, he was fully deserving of being an invincible master in close combat among those of the same realm.
Because he was wary of the old donkey, Ding Ning did not tell anyone about his changes. These abilities might become important trump cards for his counterattack at a critical moment.
Although the old donkey was full of resentment towards Ding Ning for giving Xun Er more than ten green fruits, he had still obtained a few, after all. Thus, he did not dwell on this issue. After eating a delicious meal of barbecued meat, Xun Er and Mystery stayed behind for special training. After the two of them ate the green fruits, their genes were improved by Ding Ning. Their physiques and physical strength were improved by leaps and bounds, directly advancing to the late stage Great Demon Realm. Their cultivation levels were expected to improve in a short period of time.
As for Ding Ning, he was brought into the Yin Yang Five Elements Reversal Formation by the old donkey. He went to the Ancient Battlefield to experience the pressure of an Immortal rank expert, tempering his willpower and divine sense.
As for the war between the Winged Clan and the four great families, the old donkey did not mention it. Ding Ning did not ask about it either.
However, since Old Donkey Xin was once the Winged Monarch, he definitely would not turn a blind eye to the Winged Clan's defeat and annihilation. However, the old donkey's current donkey form was definitely unpresentable. He would definitely not openly stand out to support the Winged Clan, but he would definitely take action in secret. It was even possible that he would send Bai Xun Er and Mystery to participate in the war to temper themselves.
Although Ding Ning did not really trust the old donkey, he believed that the old donkey would not harm Xun Er and Mystery. Thus, he immediately put down all his thoughts and immersed himself in the Ancient Battlefield to temper himself and increase his strength.
After the old donkey sent him into the Yin Yang Five Elements Reversal Formation, he floated away. Before he left, he repeatedly reminded Ding Ning not to rush for instant benefits, to slowly temper his willpower and divine sense, and not to act recklessly.
Ding Ning was well aware of the so-called recklessness. It was to remind him not to have any designs on the corpses of the half-step Immortal rank experts. This was because he had previously said that the immortal matter was filled with inauspiciousness.
On the surface, Ding Ning appeared to be an obedient child. As for what he was thinking in his heart, no one knew. His shifty eyes kept rolling around. One look and anyone could tell that he was up to no good.
After the old donkey left, Ding Ning was like a wild horse that was set free. He stared at the corpses that were emitting powerful auras a thousand meters away. His saliva almost dripped down. These were all his.
He had no designs on the immortal bones for the time being. It was not that he did not want them, nor was it because he was afraid of inauspiciousness. It was because the aura of the Half Immortal corpses was too terrifying. He could not even approach them. However, in his heart, these Half Immortal corpses were already his private property.
Ding Ning did not approach them rashly. Instead, he observed the ruins from afar.
The palace-like ancient buildings here had already been annihilated in the dust of history. Only the desolation and dilapidated walls were evidence of their former glory.
The oddly shaped corpses emitted the smell of decay. It seemed to be telling of how tragic the war was back then.
Ding Ning carefully avoided the area with the heaviest pressure. He came to a place with the weakest pressure. Looking up, he saw a huge beast bone that was several dozen meters in size. It was of an unknown race. It made Ding Ning feel insignificant. Although the flesh of the beast bone had already decayed, the smooth jade-like skeleton was still flowing with light. It was as if it was not dead and could pounce on people at any time. The terrifying aura made people tremble in fear.
Ding Ning's expression gradually became serious. He knew that because he had come into contact with Deity Transformation experts like the Mysterious Daughter of the Nine Heavens and the old donkey, he had subconsciously lost his reverence for the so-called gods. This beast bone was clearly the weakest immortal corpse here. However, just by getting a little closer, the pressure it emitted made him feel a stabbing pain between his eyebrows. His body was showing signs of collapsing.
Ding Ning realized that he had overestimated himself. He had always felt that Deity Realm experts were just so-so. He had even set his sights on the Immortal corpse of a half-step Immortal expert. However, reality gave him a vivid lesson, and he immediately sobered up.
As a person, one should not bite off more than they could chew. If he could not even get close to the immortal corpse, what right did he have to approach the Immortal corpse and obtain the immortal substance?
"Let's start with you!"
Ding Ning stopped five hundred meters away from the beast bone. He sat down cross-legged and gradually adapted to the pressure of the immortal corpse.
This was the limit of what he could endure. If he took another step forward, his sea of consciousness would collapse and his body would explode.
The black and white grinding stone had already begun to operate crazily. The small amount of divine sense in his sea of consciousness was crushed again. It turned into sparkling particles that emitted faint starlight and sprinkled in his sea of consciousness.
Ding Ning felt that he had adapted to this distance and took another step forward. However, this step made him feel an unparalleled pressure.
The veins on his forehead suddenly bulged, and his face turned red.
He did not even dare to breathe. He could only use his strong willpower to resist the vast pressure.
This feeling of being on the verge of collapse made him want to die. His sea of consciousness was fine with the protection of the black and white grinding stone, but his body kept cracking under the pressure. Then, under the effect of the Verdant Wood Body, his body was constantly being repaired … crack again … and repaired again …
After an unknown amount of time, Ding Ning's body no longer showed signs of cracking. He took another step forward and endured an even more terrifying pressure.
Just like this, he walked forward step by step, repeating the previous cycle of cracking … repairing … cracking … repairing.
"Boom!"
At a certain moment, Ding Ning, who had entered a state of selflessness, heard a loud bang in his mind. An illusory and hazy door appeared in his perception, showing signs of gradually solidifying.
The door of the willpower space!
Ding Ning suddenly came to his senses, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face. He did not expect that tempering his willpower under such extreme pressure would be effective. It actually caused the illusory willpower space to materialize. It should be known that although he could sense the willpower space before, he could not grasp its location, let alone use its storage space.
However, at this moment, he had already grasped the location of the willpower space. It was actually in the Shenzang acupoint between the second rib of his chest.
Shenzang — Spirit, God; Zang, Zang, Zang. The acupoint was beside the heart, and it corresponded to the heart because the heart contained the spirit.
So that was it!
Ding Ning's face revealed a look of realization.
This spirit was not that spirit. In the Mud-pill Palace was a soul. It was ignorant and acted according to its instincts.
However, the spirit in the Shenzang Palace was the ruler of his own personality. It controlled intelligence and willpower. This was the spirit that Old Donkey had mentioned, and it was also what people often referred to as the mind.
Which was the ruler of a living being's willpower, the brain or the heart? This had always been a controversial topic in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.
Most people believed that the brain was the spirit of all living beings and the control center of a living being's consciousness, while the heart was only the driving core of a living being's machine.
Only an extremely small number of people firmly believed that the mind was the ruler of a living being's consciousness. However, it was a pity that they had never been able to produce concrete evidence to prove this theory.
Ding Ning had always agreed with the first theory. In his opinion, the brain was the main control center that controlled the human body's movement and expression of self-consciousness.
However, at this moment, he realized that he was wrong. The mind was the true control center of a living being. It represented the living being's self-intelligence and willpower. The brain was only an important network control center in the living being's machine. It was responsible for transmitting and issuing commands to control the living being's external behavior.
If a living being was compared to an intelligent computer, the "spirit" in the brain was equivalent to artificial intelligence, responsible for controlling the computer's operation. The brain was equivalent to a CPU, responsible for communicating data and transmitting commands. The bone marrow was equivalent to a self-contained generator, responsible for producing power and maintaining the computer's operation. The heart was equivalent to a power distribution chamber, responsible for transmitting energy. The blood, flesh, cells, bones, and hair were equivalent to the computer's hardware. The meridians and blood vessels were equivalent to the network, responsible for transmitting data and information. The actions of a living being were equivalent to a keyboard and mouse, used to faithfully communicate with the outside world and display oneself. Then, the mind was equivalent to the computer programmer, possessing the highest control and command authority of the entire computer.
What was interesting was that although the mind was the computer's owner and possessed the highest authority, it was limited by the computer's program and didn't possess the ability to directly give commands. It complemented the "spirit" in the brain and was indispensable.
