  23. Even more expensive dan medicine

  "What's up? Got some good stuff to show off again?" Old Wang and Yi Tian were very familiar with each other, so their tone was very casual, but all of this was based on not touching sensitive topics.

  Yi Tian shook his head and said, "Why haven't I made any progress in my cultivation over the past few days?"

  "No progress?" Old Wang chuckled and said, "Cultivation isn't that fast, and it's absolutely not just about bitter practice."

  "Can't just be bitter practice? Is there a quicker way?" Yitian's brain reacted quickly.

  "There isn't a shortcut, but there are some pretty good auxiliary methods."

  "What auxiliary means? Hurry up and tell me!" Yi Tian said somewhat impatiently, enduring hardships and pains was not what he feared, what he feared was that kind of stagnation with no signs of progress.

  "Haha," Old Wang burst out laughing and said, "Having auxiliary means is indeed not false, but generally speaking, they are all things that consume a lot of spirit stones. For a cultivator like you who is in the Qi Refining stage, the best auxiliary means is undoubtedly taking elixirs."

  "Take Dan medicine?" Yi Tian asked.

  "That's right!" Old Wang said firmly, "But the price of Dan medicine is not low at all, and some high-quality Dan medicine are secret things that are not spread outside. The spiritual grass materials we deal with every day are basically prepared for refining Dan medicine."

  "Oh." Yi Tian responded with a thoughtful expression, lost in thought, unsure what he was thinking about.

  "Kid, I know you're not one to give up easily. In this Shallow Brook City, there are some shops that specialize in selling elixirs. However, I advise you to bring enough spirit stones before going, as these elixirs are far more expensive than cultivation techniques." Old Wang concluded with a summarizing tone.

  Yi Tian returned from Old Wang's place with his mind almost entirely preoccupied with dan medicine and spiritual stones, to the point where he didn't even notice Boss Liu Haifeng's cold smile or Madame's schadenfreude.

  "It's really 'a thief in one's own home is hardest to guard against'!" Liu Haifeng slammed his hand on the table and bellowed.

  It was at this time that Yi Tiancai noticed the ill-tempered boss and his wife.

  "What do you mean?" Yi Tian asked with great puzzlement.

  "Hmph, you still dare to be stubborn!" The boss's wife almost pointed at Yi Tian's nose and said, "I'm asking you, where did you go just now?"

  "This...go to Old Wang's place, has always been something that Yi Tian least wants these two people in front of him to know."

  "How dare you!" the boss's wife shouted, "I think you're stealing our shop's spiritual grass to give to someone else?!"

  "Nonsense!" Yi Tian had something difficult to say, but he would absolutely never do that kind of thing. "I don't have any, if you don't believe me, you can randomly check the spiritual grass materials here!"

  "What's going on?" Liu Haifeng, who was initially skeptical, became even more convinced of the boss's wife's accusations when he saw Yi Tian's current state. "I said, how come you're always so lucky? It turns out that behind my back, you've been doing those shady things and keeping the benefits for yourself!"
