It's been almost a year since I entered the Yin City. This year, I have made a lot of progress in my vision, martial arts, cooking, and even savings. However, I just encountered a big problem in the cultivation of Yin Gong!

If you count from the time I secretly practiced the nameless exercises I bought from the ghosts, it has been three years since I practiced the third level of Yin Gong, and even since the master corrected my cultivation methods later, it has been two years. But my current cultivation is still at the middle level of the third level, and I can't break through the upper level of the third level for a long time.

Am I having encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation?

But the master was not around, so I couldn't ask him for advice, so I had to ask Wei Dahu.

As a result, Wei Dahu didn't have a good way. Because he was also stuck at the peak of the upper level of the third level, he was never able to break through to the fourth level.

"How long have you been cultivating the third weight?" I asked him.

"Seven...... Eight ......, no, it's been nine years! He told me as he counted his fingers.

"Nine years?" I was taken aback.

"Well, nine years is normal!" Wei Dahu didn't think so, "I'm five years old Chinese New Year's Eve today, I entered the ghost theater class at the age of five and began to practice martial arts, and I started practicing Yin Gong at the age of fifteen, counting up, I am just the twentieth year this year!" ”

"Twenty years ......" I was even more surprised.

"That's right! The Yin Gong techniques inherited from the ghost troupe are not pure enough, and I don't dare to steal the exercises of other sects indiscriminately, and it is already fast to be able to cultivate at this level in the door for twenty years. No, it should be said that it is talented! He triumphantly boasted.

I'm speechless......

I never started practicing Yin Gong at the age of 18, and now it's only been seven years, and I'm already in the third intermediate level. Wei Dahu said that he was talented, so what am I? Monsters?

I didn't dare to tell him that I didn't start practicing Yin Gong until I was eighteen years old, so I asked him if there were any other good ways to improve his cultivation.

Wei Dahu shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you don't plan to re-cultivate a more powerful technique, you can only take medicine!" ”

"Take medicine? What medicine to take? ”

"Eat Yin Dan!"

"What the hell is Yin Dan?"

"You haven't heard of Yin Dan?" Wei Dahu looked disdainful.

I smiled wryly. I have always been a dull cultivator of the Yin Gong techniques that my master taught me, and I have never thought about what medicine to take, let alone any Yin pill!

"I occasionally see some pharmacies in Zuoshi, and the signboards outside say 'Enhance cultivation, panacea'. Is it referring to the medicine Yin Dan? ”

"That's right!" Wei Dahu said, "The Yin Pill is actually made by using Yin Yuan and a lot of auxiliary medicinal materials, and then refining it with a special refining method, which is specially taken for Yin cultivation to increase cultivation. Isn't Yin Yuan just money? Therefore, the Yin Pill is also a panacea piled up with money! ”

"That'...... How much is Yin Dan a pill? ”

Wei Dahu shook his head and spread his hands: "I never buy that thing to eat, it's too expensive!" However, I heard that the price of Yin Dan often fluctuates, so you have to go to the pharmacy to find out. ”

"Okay......"

In desperation, I decided to give it a try, asked the boss Teng Shuli for a short period of leave, and went to the fourth street of Zuoshi to buy Yin Dan. The shops there are all small storefronts, many of which are exclusive, and they are the go-to places for Yin cultivators to buy equipment, weapons, talismans, and medicines.

The pharmacies in Zuoshi are also basically concentrated on Fourth Street, which is the small alley where I got lost and was in distress last time. But I've walked a lot now, and I'm not going to get lost for a long time.

I randomly found a slightly larger pharmacy and went in. Well, it doesn't taste good!

The pungent smell of this strange potion mixed with the original herbs reminded me of Xiao Jiuhe's ghost refining shop. Do all such shops have to smell like this, and how can the people inside stand it every day?

It is said that the façade is big, but in fact, this pharmacy is not much bigger, there is only a shopkeeper lying on the counter to keep accounts, and a guy who is grinding medicinal powder in the corner.

"What do you want to buy?" The shopkeeper looked up, glanced at me, and asked casually.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell the Yin Pill here?"

"You want to buy Yin Dan?"

"Yes!"

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy finally paid attention to me, put down his pen, stood up and looked at me seriously again. Maybe he thinks that I'm so young, and I don't have armor and a sword, I really don't look like the kind of person who usually needs to buy Yin Dan.

"How much are you going to buy?"

"How much does it cost?"

"If you buy by the grain, today's market price is twenty-one yin yuan per grain."

Twenty-one? Well, the price isn't that exaggerated, at least it's a little lower than I expected when I came. After all, in the yang world, some imported special drugs cost tens of thousands of yuan a box!

"Then get me three first!" I reached for my money bag. I haven't taken this kind of thing yet, and I don't know if the effect is good or not, so I will buy a few pills and try them first.

"Three? Hehe! The shopkeeper laughed dryly.

I think it's weird, what's so funny?

"Young man, it's the first time you've come to buy Yin Dan, right?" He asked me directly.

"Hmm...... "I don't know why."

"Yin Dan can't be eaten like this! What is the use of a triple grain tube? ”

"That'...... How many grains do you need to be effective? And how to eat it? "I have to admit that I'm still a novice at this point.

The shopkeeper smiled again, and opened his palms to show me: "The taking of Yin Pill must be in line with your daily Yin Gong cultivation, taking one pill will run for a big week, but you can only take one pill a day at most, and if you absorb too much, there will be side effects." Ten days in a row is a phase, and ten phases are a cycle. If you can stick to a full cycle, the effect will be noticeable! ”

I couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and stammered, "Ten times ten, wouldn't that mean you have to take a hundred grains?" And it takes a hundred days to have a noticeable effect? ”

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy directly spread his hand and said with a smile: "That's it!" ”

I scratched my head. This kind of thing really won't be as simple as I imagined, otherwise anyone can improve their cultivation by eating Yin Dan wildly, and there are still people who can cultivate in a down-to-earth manner?

"That'...... If I want to move from the third intermediate to the upper level now, how many cycles will I take? I gritted my teeth and decided to ask things clearly before buying, so as not to be wronged.

"Young man, your Yin skills are doing well!" The pharmacy manager gave me a thumbs up first, and then said, "However, the effect of this medicine also varies from person to person, generally speaking, you should take at least five cycles!" ”

"Five ......," I almost rolled my eyes, "five cycles are five hundred days, and it's almost a year and a half!" And it costs more than 10,000 Yin Yuan! ”

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy was good-tempered, spread his hands again, and said, "A year and a half is not a long time, this is already much faster than your own cultivation by absorbing yin qi, right?" As for the price, the pharmacies that sell Yin Dan on our street are uniformly purchased every day, and the price is uniform, so I can't decide by myself! ”

I hung my head and shook my head in thought. Should I buy it or not?

Alas, there may not be any shortcuts to cultivation in the first place, or maybe I think this kind of thing is too simple!

"Boss, can you get a discount?" I finally asked cheekily.

"There is a discount for wholesale, and you can get an 8% discount if you buy 100 capsules at a time!" The pharmacy shopkeeper looked at me with a smile.

"It's too expensive! I don't have that much money right now......"

"And how much are you going to buy?"

"Well, let's buy ten pills and try it out!"

"Ten is too little to give you a discount!" The shopkeeper put on an apologetic expression.

“......”

In the end, I still paid 210 Yin Yuan to buy back 10 Yin Pills. Since they're all here, why don't you try the effect?

That night, after the restaurant closed, I sat alone in the courtyard and began to practice Yin Gong. The pool in the backyard is a pretty good place to practice. The Yin City is different from the Yang World, Yin Qi is everywhere, and it is very strong, and it can be cultivated almost anywhere. However, the guys in the Longevity Hotel have long been slack off on cultivation, that is, Wei Dahu and I are still often working hard.

Practicing Yin Gong has considerable benefits for the body, but the biggest side effect is that the body is too shaded and too cold, which will affect some normal functions of the living, such as the hypothermia I once suffered. It can even lead to fertility problems, especially for women.

Wei Dahu was very glad that he got married early and gave birth to a son, so now he has no worries about cultivation. But the other guys still have some concerns if they are not married and have children. For them, cultivating Yin Gong is just a means of making a living, and if they can't pass on the lineage because of this, the gains outweigh the losses!

Although I am still young, I am also a person who has been emotionally hit twice. For me, getting married and marrying a wife has long been disheartened and broken. On the contrary, it is the advancement in cultivation that is the driving force for me to move forward now.

I swallowed a pill of Yin Dan into my stomach according to the way the pharmacy owner told me, and suddenly felt a cool air of extreme yin fall on the dantian. So I hurriedly transported the Yin Gong, guided the Yin Qi into the body according to the Heart Method, and after running for a great week, it converged to the dantian and stored it as Yin power.

When I finished the work, I seemed to feel that the yin power absorbed into the dantian today was indeed purer than usual, maybe this was the credit of the yin pill. However, then I created a ghost fire in my hand to check the changes, and found that the difference was not particularly large, and the increase was less than 10% of the usual amount. It may take and absorb over time to have obvious results.
