Yin Ning slept for a long time this time, and he didn't know the time at all, even if he already had the homemade hourglass, but this shoddy hourglass could only be timed for three days, and if it was more than three days, it would be difficult to time accurately.

As soon as Yin Ning woke up and saw that the sand on the top pot had already leaked, and he was lying down at the bottom of the pot, he laughed at himself.

"It seems that we have to get a new timekeeper, otherwise we really have to live a muddy life, I don't know the years, no, it seems that living a muddy life, not knowing the years, is the sign of a true ascetic. ”

Yin Ning, who has always been diligent, was lax and slept a long time for this time, but he didn't have much self-annoyance and self-blame.

Although it seems that this hunting trip to Cangwu Mountain is thrilling, but Yin Ning, who participated for the first time, has been nervous, although it has not reached the point where the grass and trees are soldiers, but Yin Ning's inner fear and panic have never been broken, and now out of Cangwu Mountain, back to the safe area, his mind is instantly relaxed, he sleeps for a while, and enjoys a rare comfort, even in the eyes of Yin Ning, who is more strict with his own practice, it can be regarded as excusable.

But soon Yin Ning abandoned the desire to be comfortable in his heart, held the storage bag, and did not wait for me to enter the practice secret room.

Yin Ning sat on the futon in the center of the "Spirit Gathering Array", ready to carry out the cultivation method he had already thought of, took out the bottle of green jade vial containing twelve Qi Gathering Pills from the storage bag, and kept rubbing it in the palm of his hand, feeling the delicate texture of the beautiful jade, Yin Ning's heart was also calm, and he began to think alone.

In the world of cultivating immortals, the reason why the elixir is expensive is that it ranks first among all the items for cultivating immortals, and some high-grade pills even reach the point where they have no price, in addition to the fact that the elixir can improve mana and greatly reduce the time for monks to meditate, the miraculous effect of the elixir is the key to the cultivators who are so eager for it.

There are many miraculous effects of elixirs, some can prolong life, some can wash the essence and remove the essence, some can help monks break through the bottleneck and advance to a higher level, some can help monks calm their minds and drive away demons, some can bring people back to life, white bones and flesh, and even those legendary elixirs, once swallowed, mortals can feather and soar.

In short, as long as it is a high-grade elixir, it has a large or small medicinal effect.

Although the Qi Gathering Pill in Yin Ning's hand was only the lowest-grade first-grade Qi Pill, it also had a unique medicinal effect, that is, it could strengthen the monk's ability to absorb and refine spiritual energy.

Although this medicinal effect is relatively inconspicuous, almost all Qi Pills above the third grade can more or less strengthen the monk's own ability to absorb and refine spiritual energy, and they will not shamelessly regard this ability as their own unique medicinal effect and write it on their own introduction.

Although the number of spirit stones in Yin Ning's hands at that time was limited, he was completely able to buy pills with stronger medicinal power and better medicinal effects, and the reason why Yin Ning chose the ordinary Qi Gathering Pill was that in addition to its relative cheapness, its medicinal effect could be used by Yin Ning.

As soon as Yin Ning saw the introduction of the Qi Gathering Pill at that time, and after understanding its medicinal effects, he immediately had a flash of inspiration that this kind of pill was used together with the "Spirit Gathering Array", wouldn't it complement each other and get twice the result with half the effort!

Yin Ning had used the "Gathering Spirit Array" and knew that this kind of magic circle could gather spiritual energy, which could greatly improve the monk's ability to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but at that time, because Yin Ning's spiritual root qualification was too bad, and the cultivation method was not too advanced, resulting in insufficient ability to absorb the spiritual energy gathered by the refining magic array, which could be absorbed into Yin Ning's tendons, and then refined into spiritual power, and the spiritual energy stored in the dantian and turned into his own mana, less than one-tenth, was a big waste.

Yin Ning had actually already considered borrowing foreign objects to improve his ability to absorb and refine spiritual energy, and as soon as he saw that the inconspicuous Qi Gathering Pill actually had this ability, he immediately bought it in large quantities.

"Now is the time to test if my vision works. ”

After inserting a piece of spirit stone into the hole groove of the magic circle, letting the magic circle operate, and began to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and when the light mist began to rise, Yin Ning also stopped the action of rubbing the green jade bottle in a timely manner, and after muttering to himself, he poured out a black pill the size of a bean, and after smelling a refreshing medicinal fragrance, he immediately threw the pill into his mouth without hesitation, and swallowed the pill into his stomach with a tilt of his neck.

Yin Ning immediately got rid of all the selfish distractions in his heart, and began to enter the concentration of the heart like stopping water, and at this time, the pill in the abdomen also began to attack, and a warm feeling began to expand the whole body from the lower abdomen, which made Yin Ning can't help but moan, and almost lost his mind. Yin Ning, who was terrified, quickly adjusted his mentality, became cautious, formed complex and wonderful handprints with his hands, and began to run the exercises to absorb the medicinal power.

Yin Ning, who was guarding his mind, quickly refined the pure aura in the pill after running the exercises, and then began to use the aura conferred by the effect of the Qi Gathering Pill to temporarily improve his ability to absorb and refine the spiritual energy, and began to absorb the aura gathered by the "Spirit Gathering Array".

Yin Ning gradually entered deep meditation, no longer caring about external things, like a puppet statue, keeping his knees sitting motionless, the bright practice room was extremely silent, only the sound of people exhaling and exhaling came from time to time.

In this way, Yin Ning began to enter the extremely boring and boring meditation cultivation.

One day passed, two days passed, three days passed...... It wasn't until the eighth day that the prohibition on the stone door of the practice secret room suddenly began to flicker, and then in the rumbling sound of the boulders, the stone door slowly opened, and Yin Ning, who was full of tiredness on his face but his eyes were full of excitement, finally walked out of the practice secret room.

"The idea is successful, under the medicinal effect of the Qi Gathering Pill, I can now refine three percent of the spiritual energy that the 'Spirit Gathering Array' can gather, a full three times higher, the pill is really a miraculous thing, I am now swallowing the Qi Gathering Pill, and after cultivating in the 'Spirit Gathering Array', even if the cultivation speed cannot be compared with those Xuanling Root cultivators, it should be comparable or surpassed compared with the top-grade Yellow Spirit Root. ”

Yin Ning sat on a stone bench, leaning back against the stone table, stretched his waist greatly, and after stretching his body that was a little stiff because he had been sitting cross-legged, he whispered to himself with some joy, and it was difficult to hide the satisfaction and smugness on his face.

Yin Ning's idea of combining the Qi Gathering Pill with the phalanx is extremely successful, although more than seven days of cultivation has not allowed Yin Ning to break through and enter the fifth layer of Qi refining, but it has also allowed Yin Ning's mana to increase a lot, if he continues to cultivate under the same conditions like this, Yin Ning believes that entering the fifth layer of Qi refining is just around the corner, and it does not need to be used at all like the last time he entered the fourth layer, it will take more than two years, and it may only take about half a year to achieve.

But Yin Ning's good mood because of the great progress of mana only lasted for a moment, and soon seemed to remember something, the joy in Yin Ning's eyes instantly faded, slapped his head with his hand, and laughed at himself in annoyance: "What am I thinking, Gathering Qi Pill and ' The Gathering Spirit Array' is not a rare thing, as long as the outer disciples are diligent, almost everyone can have it, after I have and can use this elixir and the magic circle, I can start to imagine that my cultivation speed is on a par with the high-grade Huang Linggen monks, so under the same conditions, the high-grade Huang Linggen monks will also imagine whether their cultivation speed can catch up with the Xuanlinggen monks, it is obviously impossible, after all, those Xuanlinggen disciples also have the same cultivation conditions, and it is likely that they will be treated preferentially because of their slightly better immortal cultivation qualifications, and they must have better cultivation conditions than our Huang Linggen disciples。 ”

Thinking of the above, Yin Ning no longer felt sorry for himself because he was inferior to others and had the idea of giving up on himself like before. Instead, he took out the seven spirit stones left from the storage bag and the pill bottle that only contained the last two Qi Gathering Pills, and muttered to himself: "Using the spirit stones to urge the 'Spirit Gathering Array' to cultivate for one day can probably withstand ten days of meditation and penance, taking pills plus ' Gathering Spirit Array's cultivation for one day, it is about as good as my meditation and penance in January, even if I just hold the lower grade spirit stone in my hand to cultivate, the cultivation speed is two or three times that of ordinary meditation and penance, in the final analysis, it is still a spirit stone, as long as there are enough spirit stones, my cultivation can progress by leaps and bounds, and the avenue can be expected. ”

Yin Ning held up a blue and water-attribute spirit stone in front of his eyes, his eyes rippling, and he whispered to himself.

"Hunting demon beasts, although it is a good business to earn spirit stones, but no one can guarantee that they will have a big harvest every time, listening to Senior Brother Lu Xingcai, their hunting team can earn about two thousand spirit stones per hunt on average, but six people are one point, this seems to be a lot of two thousand spirit stones, which is a little insignificant for a single person, and this time I can make a lot of money because I have the 'Melting Armor Talisman', and I don't have the ability to earn another eight hundred spirit stones in the next hunt." If you want to ensure a stable income from spirit stones, it may be the best way to learn a certain cultivation skill, but now that I am poor, even if I really have some talent in a certain cultivation skill, I don't have the financial and material resources to let me learn any cultivation skill. By the way, and ......"

Just when Yin Ning was thinking wildly, racking his brains for how to earn spirit stones, he suddenly felt that he was blessed, and remembered an item that he had always felt was hiding an amazing secret and had always wanted to explore, but had been delayed for various reasons, the black crystal skeleton that hung on his neck and was attached to his chest.

Yin Ning took off the black crystal skeleton, his eyes were no longer confused, but extremely clear, staring at the black crystal skeleton, and said with anticipation: "I hope you can give me a big surprise." ”

After that, Yin Ning began to study the black crystal skeleton, first gently knocked and rubbed, injected mana, after seeing that it was ineffective, Yin Ning's technique gradually began to be rough, began to soak in water, barbecued with fire, and even hurriedly made a stone hammer to beat, but it was ineffective, the black crystal skeleton was still unchanged, but Yin Ning did not lose patience and inquiry, after seeing the black crystal skeleton after being treated so rudely, the appearance was still smooth as new, not to mention that it was damaged, that is, after not even leaving a trace, I thought that this skeleton was a great treasure。

In order to be able to solve the mystery of this black crystal skeleton, Yin Ning was patient in the next three days, locked himself in the practice room, and began to learn several sacrificial magic weapon techniques recorded in the "Basic Spell Encyclopedia".
