"Did you practice the method of body refining, fellow Daoist?"
When the shopkeeper heard that Chen Lin was looking for extreme environments and special energies, he immediately asked about it.
There was nothing to hide. Chen Lin nodded and said, "I have been practicing a method of body refining. Recently, my progress has stagnated. I want to find a suitable environment to strengthen my body."
The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "There are a few places like this. If you are not practicing here, you should have heard of them."
Chen Lin's eyes lit up, "Thank you for your advice, boss. I would like to hear more details."
"Haha, this is not a secret, let alone any advice. There is a cold pond in the eastern part of Qingyang Mountain. The water in the pond is icy all year round. Many body-refining monks go there to strengthen their muscles and bones. Although the effect is not very good, it is near Qingyang Sect after all, so it is very safe."
"Also, there is a lava land in the mountains hundreds of miles west of Qingyang City. It is extremely hot and is also a good place for body training. However, it is deep in the mountains and fire-attributed monsters may occasionally appear there. If you want to go there, it is best to go with a companion."
At this point, the shopkeeper paused and said with a smile: "If we talk about the place with the most of this kind of places, it is of course the Black Water Marsh. There are countless dangerous places in it, and even evil spirits exist."
"Evil spirit?"
Chen Lin's heart moved.
The jade slips of the technique introduced several special energies suitable for the Vajra Body Refining Technique, including evil spirit, which is very useful for breaking through the second level.
Seeing Chen Lin's look of doubt, the shopkeeper thought that he didn't know what evil spirit was, so he explained: "Evil spirit is a special gas condensed from some dangerous places. Different evil spirits have different characteristics. Once condensed in oneself, one can use the characteristics of the evil spirit for one's own benefit."
"Sha Qi also has a certain effect on breaking through the bottleneck of cultivation, and is very popular among cultivators. However, the process of condensing Sha Qi is very painful, and the soul and body of ordinary cultivators simply cannot bear it."
"Also, although this item is a good item for body refining, any place where there is evil spirit is extremely dangerous, so fellow Taoist, you must think carefully."
Chen Lin took a breath. This evil spirit was really a good thing, but it seemed to be quite dangerous.
After thinking for a while, he asked, "Since it is gas, it should be possible to store it. Can we buy it?"
He really didn't want to get involved in any dangerous places now. His experiences from the time he traveled through time to now had been thrilling enough. It would be better for him to practice peacefully for a while.
The shopkeeper glanced at Chen Lin and said with a smile: "As expected of a talisman master, you speak with confidence!"
After a little boasting, he continued, "Of course, evil energy can be stored, but it requires a special container, and it needs to be condensed. Otherwise, the gas is too thin to hold much. However, it is extremely dangerous for a Qi training cultivator to absorb a small amount of evil energy for cultivation. Only a foundation building cultivator can do it."
"so what?"
Chen Lin didn't listen to the unnecessary nonsense and went straight to the point.
“So it’s very expensive, and you need to order it in advance, because the evil spirit will not last long after leaving the place of production.”
Chen Lin nodded.
Such a scarce item still needs to be purchased by a cultivator who has established his foundation, so it is normal that the price is a bit high. The only problem is that it cannot be preserved for a long time, which is a bit difficult.
"Then, shopkeeper, do you have any way to buy it? I want to reserve some. Do you have an approximate price?"
Chen Lin decided to buy some first to try out the effect and then make further considerations.
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper shook his head and said, "There are ways to buy it, but it's not available recently. Most of the foundation-building cultivators in the sect are not in the sect, so you need to wait for a while. As for the price, there is no way to determine it. The price will naturally vary depending on the quality of the evil spirit. It also depends on the difficulty of obtaining it and the mood of the foundation-building cultivator, but at least one piece of it costs a high-quality spirit stone!"
"What!"
Chen Lin screamed in shock.
After noticing other customers looking over, he lowered his voice and asked, "How much is that one?"
"For a Qi training cultivator, one portion can be used for about seven days. The specific amount depends on the strength of the refining ability. However, this substance can only be kept in the container for ten days at most, so if you really want to buy it, you must confirm the date."
After listening to the other party's explanation, Chen Lin fell silent.
The specific value of this thing cannot be determined. It depends entirely on personal needs. Moreover, the effectiveness of one portion also depends on the actual results. After all, people are different and their cultivation methods are also different.
But he felt that his copy of the Vajra Body Tempering Technique would definitely not be useful.
Thinking of this, he stopped worrying about it. There was no rush for this matter. He had planned to stay here for a while anyway. The training environment and atmosphere here were good. He would break through the late stage of Qi training first.
"Okay, then I'll trouble the shopkeeper to keep an eye on it. I'll come here often."
The shopkeeper readily agreed, and then said: "I haven't asked for your name yet. If you have talismans in the future, you can come to me. I can buy or consign them. I guarantee that the price will satisfy you."
"No problem. I'm Lin Feiyu. I'll definitely send the goods to you first!"
Chen Lin clasped his fists and prepared to leave.
At this time, the shopkeeper took out a book and handed it to him, saying, "By the way, Fellow Daoist Lin, please take a look at this book. Our store purchases the items in the book at high prices all year round. If you encounter something that you cannot afford to obtain yourself, you can also notify our store and you can also receive a considerable information fee."
Chen Lin took the booklet with a surprised look on his face, thinking that the shops here were quite generous, he had never seen any shops doing these things in Guyuan Market before.
He flipped through the books casually and found that they were full of rare treasures. He nodded and walked out of the shop.
I visited a few more shops and the information I got was similar to that from the Treasure Pavilion.
So he stopped worrying about it and went straight back to his cave after leaving the market town.
Before going back, I renewed the rent for another six months.
His cultivation had just broken through, and it was impossible to make any major improvements in a short period of time. He needed to consolidate it, so in the following period of time, Chen Lin comprehended the sword techniques while training his body in the cold pond that the owner of the Treasure Pavilion had mentioned.
The sword technique is the one obtained from a woman disguised as a man. It is called the Mountain-Cutting Sword Technique, and it seems to be quite powerful.
If the practice is successful, the flying sword will be controlled with a power that can cut mountains and split the earth, hence the name.
Over the past few months, he has been trying to gain insights, and although the progress is slow, he has gained some insights.
Since I have decided not to use the Enlightenment Pill easily, I can only grind it slowly. There is no time anyway.
Comprehending the sword techniques was very boring, but strengthening the body in the cold pond was very interesting. Because in addition to these rough guys who practiced body training, there were also some female cultivators who practiced ice-attributed exercises and would go there to practice. Most of them were outer disciples who had just joined the sect of Qingyang Sect. They were all young and beautiful, and their figures were amazing.
Among all the women who practice Taoism, there are rarely those who are fat and strong, and their temperaments are incomparable to ordinary people. Unless they have practiced special skills, they are all beauties.
"Oh, Fellow Daoist Lin is going to the Cold Pond to train his body again!"
Just as Chen Lin closed the cave door, a figure flew past in the air, and after noticing him, turned back.
"Haha, isn't it the same for Fellow Daoist Qian?"
Chen Lin laughed out loud, with a teasing look on his face.
He was truly cultivating his body, but the other party was simply not interested in cultivating his body. Not only did he not have any body-cultivation skills, but he was also practicing fire-attributed techniques, yet he went to the cold pond every day. He was so afraid to go into the water that he was afraid that the other party would do something shameful in the water.
However, the other party had nothing to be embarrassed about. Not only did he do it every day, he also commented on those women, acting like an expert in the world of flowers.
"Hurry, hurry, my Fairy Zixia also needs to go to practice today. If you are late, you won't be able to get a good seat!"
Seeing Chen Lin procrastinating, the other party immediately urged him on.
A black line appeared on Chen Lin's forehead, but he still used the wind control technique and flew into the air with the opponent.
