Chapter 641: Qian Jin Wants to Self-Destruct, Install Jin'ao Island, Transform Ox-Horse-Dragon!
......
He wanted to make achievements so badly, he was practically going insane.
Especially this operation in Xiankong Town, where he wasn't even called, and not many investigators from White Ridge were brought along.
This made Qian Jin feel extremely uneasy...
Watching Lu Ding's power gradually strengthen.
His improvement speed was ridiculously fast.
Qian Jin genuinely feared that once Lu Ding's strength was sufficient, he would abandon him, or settle accounts with him.
He hadn't even accomplished any meritorious deeds yet!!!
This absolutely wouldn't do!!
If he died just like that, he would be a sinner!!Thus, the formerly shrewd and cautious Qian Jin, who wouldn't act without seeing tangible benefits, could utter such direct and explosive statements today.
Even self-destruction came up.
Lu Ding felt somewhat puzzled.
Wasn't it just one operation where you were slightly marginalized?
Was it necessary to say something so outrageous?
"Your value isn't in self-destruction, Director Qian. Take a good look at yourself - after turning over a new leaf, how well you've managed White Ridge."
"If you died, who else could manage White Ridge properly?"
"Me? I don't have time. Hou Dehai? He's good at fighting, but that's it. Or Xinghe? He's too busy. So, the management candidate can only be you."
This was the first time Qian Jin had ever despised his director position so much.
What good was managing White Ridge well? That was his basic job responsibility. As a director, doing well brought no merit, while doing poorly brought blame.
Because of this damn director position, he didn't even have the opportunity to sacrifice himself for righteousness.
He wanted so badly to achieve merits and become a martyr!!!
"Grand Guardian, I..."
Lu Ding raised his hand to interrupt him: "Don't rush, there will be opportunities for you to prove yourself later."
"For now, put the things down, go out and brew some premium tea to savor properly, research how to manage White Ridge better, and how to sell the land left behind after the Luo family's extermination at high prices to enrich the bureau's finances."
"Go on, go on."
Lu Ding waved him away.
Watching Qian Jin's dejected retreating figure.
He smiled from sheer speechlessness.
Who would have thought that Qian Jin would be even more daring than Hou Dehai, actually eagerly applying for self-destruction.
Which of you is really the deputy director?
He chuckled briefly.
Setting aside other thoughts.
Taking out [Hate Child Surviving Alone] from the Red Coffin, paired with the rare treasures Qian Jin had just brought in.
Lu Ding took one bite of main course, one bite of side dish.
Eating with incomparable enjoyment.
Authentic!!!
The rare treasures transformed into the purest medicinal energy warm currents, flowing through his body.
While feeling his realm advancing toward the late stage of Third Restriction.
Lu Ding formed hand seals with his fingers.
Operating the Sin Dragon Bone Seal at full speed to accelerate the process.
The Spirit Marrow stored within his body continuously provided him with pure spiritual energy.
Supported by the massive medicinal energy, it didn't take long.
He directly broke through to the late stage of Third Restriction.
The scenery before his eyes shifted.
Still the familiar place, still the familiar gray haze.
Gloomy Energy gathered from all directions.
It probably had some PTSD by now.
If this thing had the ability for deep thinking and speech, it would definitely curse:
"Damn it, why is it you again!"
"Is there no end to this? It hasn't been long, and you're back again!"
Compared to the Gloomy Energy's previous defiance and resentment, this time it appeared more cautious, expanding its scale.
Enveloping Lu Ding from all directions.
Heaven-Man Fourth Restriction [Body Foul Filth]
It didn't sound pleasant.
But the unique hallmark of this realm was actually quite fragrant.
To enter this realm, one must expel all filthy substances from the body - of course, not excrement.
But impurities and similar things.
Finally cultivating a Stainless Body that could emit a delicate fragrance, only then would one qualify to enter Heaven-Man Fourth Restriction.
But this was merely qualification.
To truly set foot in Heaven-Man Fourth Restriction, one must also endure the baptism of external Gloomy Energy.
Only by enduring it could one break through to the Fourth Restriction.
After going through this process, no matter how talented you were, both spiritual energy and soul would retain some external impurities.
These needed to be continuously ground away during the Fourth Restriction process until completely purified, achieving internal and external perfection. At this point, one would enter the state where the full moon wanes and overflowing water spills.
Extremes beget opposites.
The Gloomy Energy of Fifth Restriction [Discontent with One's Station] would arrive with irritation, breeding inner demons that must be overcome.
These were all normal procedures.
But when it came to Lu Ding.
Well then.
The Fourth Restriction Gloomy Energy, after testing for a long time, discovered that not only had Lu Ding not awakened a Fourth Restriction Anomalous Phenomenon to attack it, but the spiritual energy within his body was rapidly depleting, gradually nearing emptiness.
It immediately hesitated no longer, directly staining toward Lu Ding.
But after much effort.
Completely useless, damn it, it couldn't stick to him!!
Could you believe this?
Every time it got close, it would be shaken off.
Seeing the delicate fragrance around Lu Ding gradually intensifying.
The Gloomy Energy no longer held back, covering Lu Ding from all directions.
[White Snake Shakes Scales] was ultimately just a spell. Although high-ranking, when facing Gloomy Energy - heaven and earth's tempering shackles for cultivators.
[White Snake Shakes Scales] still struggled to completely block it, especially since Lu Ding himself was rapidly consuming spiritual energy.
Just as Lu Ding's Stainless Body was about to be contaminated by Gloomy Energy residue, and his own spiritual energy was about to be completely depleted.
A roaring sound was heard.
"ROAR!!!!!!!!"
Fourth Restriction Anomalous Phenomenon [Golden Ao Island] installation completed!!!
Without even revealing its true form.
Just one angry roar.
Shook the entire Gloomy Energy space, instantly shattering it to pieces.
Gloomy Energy: My life is over, but I'll be back!!!
The shattering darkness from all directions brought lethal winds capable of dismembering deities, tearing apart the remaining Gloomy Energy.
But they were helpless against the seated Lu Ding.
Because a phantom image hovered overhead, drifting down wisps of fairy mist like gauze, accompanied by ethereal celestial music.
It was said:
The Ao carries immortal islands to meet the Supreme Purity, pine waves myriad zhang chant profound scriptures.
Purple energy from the east cleanses jade bodies, white rainbow piercing the sun transmits true scriptures.
Horizontal couplet: Teaching without discrimination, how much you comprehend is your own achievement.
The ethereal celestial music was filled with opportunities, secret teachings, and encyclopedic knowledge.
[Heaven-Man Unity] quietly exerted its power as Lu Ding listened to the celestial music by his ears.
"It seems like it's time for me to change cultivation methods too."
The Sin Dragon Bone Seal had accompanied him from weakness until now, and was already somewhat struggling. Lu Ding had also considered upgrading and modifying it himself.
After all, the Sin Dragon had been with him for so long, there were feelings involved.
It wasn't just an ordinary cultivation method either - its limited intelligence made it behave more like a living creature.
This workhorse dragon worked itself to death every day.
If Lu Ding casually abandoned it, he would feel guilty.
He wasn't a capitalist who would kill the donkey after it ground the grain, optimizing through layoffs.
As for [Flying Bear Pounce technique], its ceiling was simply too low, and it didn't have any intelligence to speak of.
Therefore, Lu Ding was saving money, saving his own contribution points, preparing to exchange for something major later, using [Heaven-Man Unity] to coordinate upgrading this workhorse dragon that put work badges and shackles on itself.
Who would have thought.
Money saved!
Hehe!!
"Truly worthy of being Spirit-Treasure Heavenly Lord, so generous!!"
Not only giving a daoist sanctuary as an anomalous phenomenon upfront, but after the sanctuary installation, there were even scripture lectures to listen to inside.
Generous, extravagant!!!
In the Inner Landscape, the Sin Dragon seemed to sense Lu Ding's thoughts, but its perception was inaccurate.
After all, its intelligence wasn't high - it was just a cultivation method.
It could only sense that Lu Ding wanted to change.
The saddened Sin Dragon stood its final watch properly. After circulating through the complete cycle, it silently returned to the Inner Landscape, coiling into a ball.
Looking at the perfect Inner Landscape it had helped Lu Ding create.
The Sin Dragon felt somewhat melancholic.
Like a veteran employee who accompanied the company from nothing to going public, only to be told the day before the bell ringing that you're no longer suitable for this position.
Forced to hold regrets, removing the work badge with reddened eyes, packing belongings, preparing to leave, taking one last look at the company.
At this moment, Lu Ding as the boss suddenly jumped out.
"Stop pretending to be dead, I'm not planning to replace you. Get up, it's promotion, raise, and becoming a shareholder."
These words made the Sin Dragon look up, the excitement and emotion in its eyes growing wildly like weeds.
So, it wasn't unsuitable for the position - rather, the boss was promoting it from employee status to shareholder, and one with substantial shares at that!!!
'ROAR!!!'
A dragon's cry resounded through the Inner Landscape space, shaking mountains and rivers.
The Sin Dragon soared into the sky, its body stretched perfectly straight.
Just two words: Show off!!!
Lu Ding also gathered his condition at this moment, turning [Heaven-Man Unity] to maximum.
The two deeply hidden Spirit Marrows within his body instantly felt a terrifying suction force.
Then continuous streams of pure spiritual energy were drawn away, transforming into Lu Ding's own spiritual energy for him to command.
Forming hand seals with both hands, Lu Ding declared: "Start working!!!!"
