Chapter 22: The Second Layer
Steward Zhao was not transferred from the medicine garden very quickly, and it would be a month later at the earliest.
During this period, Ding Qi went up the mountain to collect medicine and practice innate skills as usual. At the same time, he also took the time to go to Liangcheng and sold the thirty anchovies in his hand.
The money from the sale of this batch of anchovies is naturally nothing to those big families, but for Ding Qi, it is undoubtedly a huge income.
After getting this income, Ding Qi thought about it again and again and decided to go to various pharmacies in Liangcheng to have a look.
Ding Qi's cultivation speed of innate skills, although it is much faster than that of the Iron Sand Palm and the like, but it is only at the level of medium qualification, if he wants to improve his cultivation speed, using medicine to assist is the only way he can find now.
Before he obtained the innate skill, Ding Qi had already made up the idea of using medicine to assist his cultivation. It's just that at that time, he really didn't have any money in his hands. It was precisely in order to get enough money to refine the medicine for cultivation that he would go up the mountain to pick anchovy grass and sell it.
Now, with the income from selling herbs in his hands, Ding Qi naturally wants to go to the pharmacy to have a look.
It took him nearly a day in Liangcheng to turn around the various pharmacies in Liangcheng, and he also asked the prices of all the herbs in all the pharmacies.
This kind of behavior of only asking and not buying made him eat a lot of blank eyes in various pharmacies. However, Ding Qi only pretended not to see it, and secretly wrote down the prices of herbs in various pharmacies and compared them in his heart.
Although Ding Qi had long expected the preciousness of the herbs needed to increase his cultivation speed, he was still shocked by the results he got after inquiring about it one day.
The price of these herbs used to refine the medicine was much higher than he had originally expected.
Originally, Ding Qi thought that the money he got from selling anchovies was not a small amount. However, compared to the price of these precious herbs, it is not enough at all.
Thinking of this, Ding Qi looked at a mountain ginseng in his hand and smiled bitterly: "In the end, I still bought this ginseng with a heart." ”
This ginseng has a 20 or 30-year-old vintage, and it is barely enough as a medicine in the Danfang recorded in the brocade silk.
On the brocade silk that records the innate skills, there are several different Dan prescriptions. The effect on increasing the speed of cultivation is different in strength. There are even pills recorded on some pills, which can only be taken if the innate skill is cultivated to an extremely high depth. Otherwise, not only will it not improve its strength, but it will even damage the meridians, causing people to go mad and die of madness.
This mountain ginseng is one of the less effective pills, and it is a medicinal herb that is needed.
"At the current speed of picking anchovies, it will take three or four months to get together this dose of medicine with the weakest effect!" Counting the prices of the various drugs he saw in Liangcheng in his heart, Ding Qi felt a headache and thought helplessly.
To prepare a medicine for increasing cultivation, it is obviously not just a strain of mountain ginseng. A variety of other kinds of medicinal herbs are also needed. Those medicinal herbs, each of them is a precious anomaly.
Even the weakest kind requires more than a dozen medicinal herbs to be able to make it. Among them were several herbs, much more precious than the ginseng in his hand.
The money he got from selling the anchovy grass at the beginning was just able to buy the mountain ginseng in his hand. It will take a few more months to gather the other medicinal herbs.
As for the fact that it will take a few months to be able to complete the medicine he needs, although Ding Qi regrets it in his heart, he can only sigh and forcibly suppress the helplessness in his heart.
He was able to obtain the cultivation method of innate gong by chance, and he was already very lucky. In addition, he can quickly find anchovy grass to make money by cultivating innate skills, so as to buy medicines for cultivation, which already has a great advantage over ordinary martial arts people.
However, every time he thought of the huge cost of refining the pill, Ding Qi could only smile bitterly and shake his head.
Next, in the days when Ding Qi was practicing the exercises and going up the mountain to collect medicine, Steward Zhao did not behave in any way because he was going to be transferred out of the medicine garden, and he still drank and had fun every day.
Steward Zhao's thoughts, Ding Qi can also guess some of them.
Steward Zhao is already old, and he has long lost the strength of young people to fight. At this age, unlike Second Uncle Ding Qi, he still has the opportunity to improve his status in the sect. Whether he worked hard or not, the result was the same.
In that case, he might as well let himself live a little more moisturized, drink wine, listen to music, and have fun.
Anyway, no matter where he is transferred, it will have no effect on him, and he naturally won't care, so he behaves so calmly.
As Ding Qi's days of cultivating innate skills became longer and longer, the innate true qi in his body was no longer as weak as before. The alien true qi brought by the original cultivation of exercises such as the Iron Sand Palm is also being assimilated by the more and more profound innate skills.
Ding Qi estimated that at this rate of assimilation, it would not take more than a month for the xenomorph true qi in his body to be completely assimilated.
Compared with the xenomorph true qi that will be assimilated sooner or later, Ding Qi has been more concerned about another thing in the past few days.
In the past few days, he has found that the innate power has faint signs of breaking through the first layer. This discovery surprised Ding Qi, and he naturally became more attentive to practicing innate skills every day.
On this day, Ding Qi, as usual, sat cross-legged on the bed, running the exercises of innate gong. His body did not move at all, like a wood carving, which was a manifestation of his introverted mind and devoting all his mind to cultivating the exercises.
Suddenly, Ding Qi's body, like a wood carving, trembled slightly. At the same time, a slight smile appeared on his originally expressionless face, and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Finally got to the second floor. Ding Qi let out a long sigh of relief and said with a sigh.
Just now, Ding Qi finally broke through the first layer of innate power and entered the second layer.
This innate skill has as many as thirteen layers, and although entering the second layer is not a great achievement, it is a new realm after all, and Ding Qi is extremely happy.
More importantly, Ding Qi felt that after the cultivation of innate skills entered the second layer, the speed of digging phoenix grass by himself should be improved.
"Hey. ”
Just when Ding Qi was thinking about whether he should go to the mountains now to see if his speed of searching for anchovy grass had really improved, he really wanted to find something, and he couldn't help frowning suspiciously.
He raised his hand in front of him and looked at him for a moment, a thoughtful look on his face. Then, with a strange look, Ding Qi got off the bed and pushed open the door, walked to the medicine garden outside, and kept looking around.
"I've only heard before that a very small number of advanced exercises can bring wonderful changes to a cultivator's body. I didn't expect this to happen to me. ”
After a long time, Ding Qi thought with an excited expression on his face.
After cultivating the first layer of innate skills, Ding Qi was extremely surprised to find out. The feeling of seeing things around you is very different from what it used to be.
Compared to before, he looked at everything around him now, as if he had removed a layer of dust and fog that had covered everything.
The whole world has an indescribable sense of clarity and clarity.
This change is not due to the fact that there is something wrong with Ding Qi's eyes. Like ordinary mountain children, his eyesight has always been quite good. The reason why this situation occurred was because after cultivating to the first layer of innate skills, his body got some unknown changes, and his eyesight was greatly improved, which brought about the effect.
"Just cultivating to the first layer of innate skills, it actually has such a wonderful effect. I don't know what would happen if I cultivated to a few more levels. This martial art is really even more amazing than I originally imagined. Looking at the new world in front of him again, Ding Qi thought in surprise.
Ding Qi, how did he know that the exercise he was cultivating now was not such a simple thing as martial arts.
For a long time, he regarded it as a lucky achievement, and this profound exercise called 'Innate Gong' was originally not a secular martial art, but an immortal cultivation technique that should not appear in the secular world at all.
It is precisely because this is a far superior immortal cultivation method that he has brought such wonderful changes to his body after he has just cultivated to the first level.
The current Ding Qi didn't know anything about this, he was just pleasantly surprised to feel the magical changes in his body, and he became more looking forward to the cultivation of innate skills in the future.
