Chapter 4 Gathering the Yin to extend life, doing business with paper figures(1/2)
Seven days later.
The wooden house is dark.
A man in white sits cross-legged.
His complexion is blue-grey, his soul is transparent, and his body is filled with dark yin energy.
After a long time, the man in white opened his eyes, and the cyan Yin Qi in the ghost eyes flashed away.
Tang Ping stood up, and in the dark wooden house, his eyes flickered with an inexplicable light.
I saw him stretching out his right hand, with his index and middle fingers together.
Wow!
A wisp of green will-o'-the-wisp suddenly rose from the fingertips.
The will-o'-the-wisp is not hot, but has an astonishing coldness.
Tang Ping had a thought in his mind.
Wow!
Will-o'-the-wisps floated out, circled in the air, and then disappeared.
Tang Ping put away his spell and the panel appeared in front of him again.
Gathering Yin (7/100) Will-O-Wisp (21/100)
"The Yin Gathering Technique can increase one point a day, and the will-o'-the-wisp technique can increase three points a day. Now the yin power in the body is a little larger than a hair, and the will-o'-the-wisp technique can be released about three times."
Tang Ping thought.
The power of the will-o'-the-wisp technique is not too great. Even if it hurts vital parts, it is only at the level of injury.
But it doesn’t matter much, it’s only been seven days since I woke up and informed the local government.
What if it’s a month? What about a hundred days?
If you continue to practice it, the power of the will-o'-the-wisp technique will definitely become stronger.
Having such a panel where he could face the results of his efforts made Tang Ping full of energy.
After testing some spells, Tang Ping returned to his ordinary appearance again.
He walked out the door.
Through the shade of the trees overhead, the sky is gray and the sun is dark.
The weather in the underworld remains unchanged for millions of years.
There is some darkness under the banyan tree, with thousands of dark brown tree whiskers hanging down, and the knotted trunks covered with red blood.
This is the ghost blood vine, a vine that parasitizes large trees and absorbs nutrients.
Wow!
At this time, it started to rain lightly.
The rain beats the leaves and flows down the tree whiskers, nourishing the grass and trees.
At this time, some small blood-red spores sprouted from some tree whiskers, as if some fruits were growing.
Tang Ping sighed, stepped forward, and used his nails to pick off the excess spores on each tree beard.
The beards are about the thickness of a thumb, and each beard must not exceed five spores, otherwise the spores will not be able to thrive.
These spores are the fruits of ghost cotton.
The ghosts under the banyan tree and three identical banyan trees not far away all make a living from this.
If you water it about once every five days, cotton will grow in three months.
When the cotton matures, Changdao Liu will come to buy it with the ghost merchant, usually in exchange for food, and rarely in exchange for ghost money.
After all, their labor income is just enough for them to survive.
"How can I pick cotton if my skin color is not correct?"
Tang Ping laughed at himself.
No, isn’t blue-gray skin also a kind of black? You deserve to pick cotton.
Many ghosts nearby also took advantage of the rain to do the same job.
Tang Ping had no intention of talking to them.
Ghosts are not easy to form. They either have resentment in their hearts or are different from ordinary people in some aspects.
All in all, they are not easy to mess with.
Especially when you have a big secret.
Squeak.
At this time, the wooden house of the decapitated old man opened.
A strange-looking ghost walked out.
He has a money rat tail, a mustache, and a big eye on the back of his neck.
Back-eyed ghost?
It seems that his name is Hachi, and he is also a resident under this banyan tree.
He was holding Lao Zhang’s jar, chair, clothes and other items.
Seeing Tang Ping looking over, Ha Chi hugged the thing tightly and muttered: "The old guys are dead, I don't think anyone wants them."
After that, he ignored Tang Ping and walked straight to his home.
Before leaving, I took a look at Lao Zhang’s home, and it seems that I will come again next time.
Tang Ping did not argue with him.
Hachi looks strange, but he is also an ordinary ghost.
According to the memory of the predecessor, there is no unified dynasty in the world of Yang, but a state of numerous countries, including many foreign countries.
People with back eyes are also strangers. The big-headed ghost who came to collect cotton some time ago is a stranger from the Big Head Country.
They can also become ghosts after death.
In the next few days, Tang Ping concentrated on practicing.
One day.
Tang Ping woke up, restrained his Yin Qi, and said in surprise:
"Life span has actually increased!"
The proficiency level of Yin Gathering Technique breaks through ten, and the life span changes from twelve years to thirteen years.
In other words, if you continue to practice the Yin Gathering Technique, your life span will continue to increase.
You don’t have to worry about lifespan anymore.
After his calculations, he finally found the key points of cultivation.
The Yin Gathering Technique can only be used once a day, and the will-o'-the-wisp technique cannot be used more than three times a day.
Otherwise, you will feel hungry and dizzy.
Tang Ping concluded that the consumption was too great.
Inside the wooden house, Tang Ping took out a charcoal pen and wrote his experience on the ground.
"Limiting the number of times may be due to insufficient food intake to support cultivation."
Tang Ping wrote two lines of methods on the ground.
The first is to work hard to grow cotton and exchange more food with merchants.
The second is to visit the ghost market in the mountain stream mentioned by the decapitated old man.
According to Lao Zhang, the Shanjian Ghost Market may have more spiritual materials than ordinary ghost markets.
But in this dank and dark place, danger is definitely inevitable.
Tang Ping still doesn't want to take risks.
It takes three months to practice the Yin Gathering Technique to one hundred, and more than thirty days to practice the Will-O-Wisp Technique to one hundred.
Qualitative changes may occur after you reach consummation in cultivation.
Just a few months?
I still have plenty of time, so I don’t need to take risks.
It’s not like we’re desperate.
And if you are not strong enough, it is not suitable to go out. In the future, if you are strong enough, you may want to take a look if you are short of food.
It’s definitely not possible now.
