Three months later, in the backyard of Juxing Square, Yi Tian took out jars of wine from the cellar and put them in the yard to count.
Now Duan Yugang basically didn't come back to live. He fiddled with something in front of the stove all day long.
Yi Tian didn't care about him. He cultivated on his own and brewed wine when he was free.
Today, he took out the first batch of wine. With the monkey wine as the head, Yi Tian reduced the amount of medicine according to the wine recipe.
He only used half of the amount for each serving. He first brewed a jar and tasted it and felt that something was wrong.
The wine was too strong. It was not something his body could bear now. It was estimated that Yi Tian would not be able to drink it until he reached the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm.
Therefore, the second experiment used 25% of the ingredients and monkey wine as the head to control the medicinal properties within a safe range.
Finally, he tasted it and found that it was not bad. After drinking one or two grams, he could restore nearly 50% of his spiritual power when his spiritual power was almost exhausted. The effect was twice as strong as the original monkey wine.
After that, he brewed 16 catties in one breath and used up the remaining monkey wine.
Yi Tian thought it was worth it, but he didn't dare to talk about it. If the backer of Dexing Restaurant came directly to him, he would be in trouble.
After dealing with all the wine and putting away the first batch, Yi Tian continued to cultivate in the room.
Now Yi Tian could practice concentration and the wood and fire spirit arts for a long time. If he didn't have enough spirit energy, he would drink some wine to replenish it.
Over time, he found that the spirit energy in his dantian was gathering faster and the color was getting darker.
Pu Siyuan received Cai Wenbin's reply more than four months later. He also received the inscription diagram that Yi Tian had asked to be copied in the restaurant last time.
Anyway, it was all elementary inscriptions, so he didn't care. After he got it, he took the time to send it to Yi Tian. He also wanted to see how Yi Tian's recent cultivation was going.
There was only one year left for the three sects to choose disciples. The last time he saw Yi Tian come to Deren Hall to buy medicine, he had reached the fourth level of Qi Refining Realm. At this speed, there was still hope for him to reach the fifth level next year.
Although many so-called Cultivators practiced quickly in the early stages, it didn't mean that they would always do so.
Sometimes, one could wait for ten years without seeing any signs of a breakthrough.
Hopefully, this wouldn't happen to Yi Tian. Although everyone had their own obstacles, it still depended on one's character.
As soon as they entered the Juxing Village, the shopkeeper, Duan Yugang, welcomed them. When he heard that Pu Siyuan was here to deliver the inscriptions to Yi Tian, he led them to the refining room to look for him.
Yi Tian had been cultivating too fiercely recently. He had to adjust himself, and only by alternating between tension and relaxation would he be able to advance quickly.
When he saw Pu Siyuan come in, he put down the bull meat that he was teasing the little fox and stood up to cup his hands.
Seeing the Ice Glass Fox with the bull tendon around its neck, Pu Siyuan couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that Yi Tian had gained a lot in the Blackpool Swamp.
Now that he had brought such a small thing back, he didn't know what to do with it.
Looking at the inscription diagrams sent by Pu Siyuan, Yi Tian's heart sank. He thought that there were two diagrams for weapons.
He didn't expect that one of the diagrams for inscription cultivation would be used to make a spirit beast bag, and the other was for enchantment on shoes.
It could increase the effect of the wearer's movement by 30%. Cai Wenbin had spent a lot of effort to get this.
According to Cai Wenbin's original words, how could a refiner only refine weapons? Many auxiliary equipment were also very popular.
Yi Tian was so angry that he gritted his teeth. In the end, he still had to thank Cai Wenbin.
Seeing the dejected Yi Tian, Pu Siyuan comforted him. Wasn't there an Ice Soul Fox? It was a ready-made spirit beast.
As long as Yi Tian could afford the materials, he could learn the inscription diagrams and make a spirit beast bag.
As for the spirit beast cultivation technique, he could buy it at the Beast Taming School's shop in Pushan Square. The price was only a hundred spirit stones. After saying that, he glanced at Yi Tian.
He only saw that Yi Tian's face was gloomy. He was calculating whether it was worth it or not. Pu Siyuan could only sit aside and wait for his reply.
After a quarter of an hour, Yi Tian clapped his hands and looked at Pu Siyuan with a sincere face. He said, "Stay tonight. We'll eat a braised Ice Glass Fox. By the way, you can bring two jars of monkey wine. We won't go home until we're drunk."
The neighbors next to Juxing Village saw Pu Siyuan hurriedly rush out of the door. He jumped on the bull carriage and shouted for the coachman to leave immediately. Then he fell asleep in the carriage.
Yi Tian chased after him and shouted for the coachman to stop. Pu Siyuan hadn't eaten yet. The coachman whipped the bull, and the bull pulled the carriage away.
After the crowd dispersed, Yi Tian went out alone and walked towards the Beast Taming School's shop.
This Beast Taming School wasn't a local school. It was said that they came from Tiannan and opened a shop here.
The higher-ups also gave a greeting, so Pushan Square directly recognized them.
Yi Tian's original intention was to directly buy a spirit beast bag and then buy the Beast Taming Art.
He didn't expect that the Beast Taming Art would only sell the first half of the book. The rest was a secret of the school and couldn't be spread outside.
However, half of the book was enough to raise a spirit beast to the fourth rank. If he wanted to raise a spirit beast to the fifth rank or higher, he would have to ask the Beast Taming School if they agreed.
The spirit beast bag was even more expensive. It was 100 spirit stones. Yi Tian almost quarreled with the shopkeeper of the shop.
This two feet storage bag didn't have this price. A foot long storage bracelet also had this price. His three foot long spirit beast bag didn't have this price.
In the end, the shopkeeper just insisted that the spirit beast bag could store living things. His storage bag couldn't. Moreover, if he continued to argue, the Beast Taming Art wouldn't be sold.
Yi Tian put down 100 spirit stones, bought the materials for the Beast Taming Art and spirit beast bag, and angrily left.
After returning to Juxing Square, he didn't say goodbye to Duan Yugang. He picked up the Ice Soul Fox, took the materials and inscription diagrams he bought, and went back to his room.
The neighbors heard Yi Tian sighing in the yard for three days. On the fourth day, he finally stopped.
Duan Yugang saw a small Beast Taming Bag on Yi Tian's waist. It was as small as a money bag. He asked Yi Tian where the Ice Soul Fox was.
Yi Tian proudly patted the Beast Taming Pouch that he was about to use and laughed loudly as he left. Duan Yugang could only look at the bright moon and drink his wine that night.
Jiang Lei was a cultivator at the fifth rank of Qi Refining. He usually took some small tasks to eat.
The main reason was that he didn't have any decent magic tools, and other people wouldn't bring him along when they formed a team.
When he passed by Juxing Square today, he saw that there weren't many people inside, so he wanted to see if there was anything he could buy.
Duan Yugang hadn't opened for business for a long time. Seeing that there was a rare customer, he had to stop him.
Anyway, he was killing everyone he saw. In recent years, there were fewer and fewer returning customers. If he didn't get some spirit stones, he would run out.
Looking at the magic tools around him that were worth tens to hundreds of spirit stones, Jiang Lei was discouraged.
He only had 10 spirit stones and could only spend 5 on magic tools. He had to save some for emergencies. After looking at them, he shook his head and was about to leave.
Shopkeeper Duan saw that today's business was going to fail again and hurriedly asked him to stay. After asking, he found out that the other party thought it was too expensive and couldn't afford it.
He had no choice. He couldn't make a bad deal. However, there was still a magic tool on the shelf. Seeing it every day made him anxious. He might as well sell it and give it to this person. When Yi Tian came back, it would be easier to explain.
After thinking about it, he took an iron staff from the weapon shelf and gave it to Jiang Lei. This thing looked inconspicuous, but it was still quite heavy in his hand.
When he poured spirit qi into it, the staff buzzed. It didn't look bad, but the craftsmanship was really terrible.
Was it really made by this Second Rank Weapon Refiner? The inscription enchantment on it was done very well. The dark golden lines looked beautiful, gentle and pleasing to the eye. It should be at least at the level of a Third Rank Weapon Refiner.
Looking at it, Jiang Lei's heart itched. When he asked for the price, Jiang Lei's face fell. Shopkeeper Duan saw that something was wrong and immediately lowered the price.
Jiang Lei saw that there was a door and continued to bargain. From 50 spirit stones to 8 spirit stones, this was already his limit.
The two sides reached a deal of 7 spirit stones. In the end, Duan Yugang even pretended to be reluctant to accept the spirit stones. In the end, he even reminded him not to forget to introduce some business next time.
Two days later, when Yi Tian came out of the room, Duan Yugang excitedly ran over and said that the staff sword he refined last time had been sold.
The cost was two and a half spirit stones. After selling seven pieces, the profit was four spirit stones. Everyone split the profit, two spirit stones per person.
Yi Tian didn't know how this shopkeeper Duan learned arithmetic. His brain must have been damaged by forging iron all day. Wasn't the profit four and a half spirit stones?
Duan Yugang despised him. That half spirit stones was the loss of the furnace and the rental fee of the venue. Yi Tian was so angry that he said, "I'll give it all to you." After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room to continue cultivating.
In Yi Tian's view, this Duan Yugang was stupid but sometimes he was very meticulous.
No matter what, Yi Tian's progress had obviously slowed down after he reached the fourth level of Qi Refining Stage.
Because he was cultivating two elements at the same time, the amount of spirit qi he needed had doubled. Now, every time he cultivated, he had to use spirit stones.
If he were to meditate without using any spirit stones, the effect would be extremely poor. Because of this, Yi Tian had to hold a spirit stone in his hand every time to absorb spirit energy. Only then could he circulate a full cycle of spirit energy into his dantian.
The consumption of spirit stones had suddenly increased. A few months ago, when he spent money on the Beast Taming Art and materials, he didn't foresee this. Thinking about it, he regretted it.
This Ice Soul Fox was a bull meat grinder. It ate more than half a kilogram of bull meat every day.
Although it didn't cost much spirit stones, it was a terrifying number in the long run. But now, he had officially formed a blood contract with this Ice Soul Fox through the Beast Taming Art.
He originally wanted to change to another one, but it was clearly written in the Beast Taming Art that a person could only form a blood contract with two spirit beasts in their lifetime.
If the next spirit beast he formed a blood contract with couldn't even compare to the Ice Soul Fox, Yi Tian would really cry.
In the end, Yi Tian could only endure feeding the Ice Soul Fox with bull meat every day. He hoped that one day, a miracle would happen and he would be able to get back his capital and interest.
Under Yi Tian's desperate feeding, the Ice Soul Fox's fur slowly returned to its original white state.
After being locked in the furnace room by Yi Tian and hearing the sound of Duan Yugang's forging every day, the Ice Soul Fox's fur was a little red with a hint of black.
And every time it saw Duan Yugang pick up the hammer, it would be so scared that it would cover its ears.
Now, it was living in Yi Tian's spirit beast bag and being served good food and drinks. After eating, it would sleep and eat. It had grown into a cylindrical body.
Yi Tian slipped away after showing off the Ice Soul Fox in front of Duan Yugang once. He only heard Duan Yugang say, "Isn't it a fox? Why does it look like a fat dog?"
