Many toys and new items appeared in the shop. Xu Miao got excited as he read through the item description one by one.
Yin Essence could be used as a currency now. Many items required yin essence instead of yang essence, which delighted Xu Miao.
Volume 2 of old system skills were sold there. Basic pills had changed into low-grade pills, and their price got ten times more expensive. In the space, Xu Miao had bought a pill, a low-grade poison pill before he transferred it to Jiang Lan's inventory.
The new system's passive skills were also good. Though 5,000 essence for one 5% resistance ability was a ripoff, they were useful cheating skills. If he had these passive skills, he might be able to master the dual-flame technique faster.
The side-quest item, Succubus Menstrual Blood, was also sold in the shop. No matter how many times Xu Miao read the item's name, he couldn't believe that he drank a vial worth of that.
But the highlight of all new items was the Ring of Yin Slave and Rang of Slave Master.

It appears that Ring of Yin Slave and Ring of Slave Master came in a pair, but Xu Miao could buy more than one slave ring while he could only have one master ring.
The ring series were also expensive since it cost 10,000 Yin Essence. Even if Xu Miao could get the master ring for free, it would be useless without a slave ring.
'I see. That's why the system gives me an ability to collect yin essence. There are other uses other than activating qi techniques.'
Xu Miao realized now that he had to spend even more time dual-cultivating. Even if he could partner with Jiang Lan every night and spend 40 hours in the space every day, he wouldn't have enough essence or qi to practice his skills and buy all these goodies any time soon.
Now, Xu Miao had to make another important decision. He had 3 things that his 1,000 yang essence could buy.
One, volume 2 of a manual. Xu Miao had already mastered almost everything that the DBS volume one contained, so the second volume might have something useful.
However, the second volume of orc king sutras was unnecessary at the moment since Xu Miao hadn't memorized all 100,000 words from the first volume yet.
The second option was the aphrodisiac immunity. Xu Miao immediately crossed out this option since he wouldn't have a problem with this issue soon. This option, too, was unnecessary.
The third option was an interesting one, the Spirit of Xu Xiuying's Clone.

*********************************************
.
[Spirit of Xu Xiuying's Clone]
[Description] – You can summon a guardian spirit, Xu Xiuying's Clone, to protect you. The guardian spirit has 1% strength of the original, but you can upgrade her strength by spending yin essence.
[Abilities] - The guardian spirit has the following abilities;
(1) Can possess and take control of a dead body. Can only be used once a month.
(2) Guardian Spirit is a ghost being. She is immune to all physical attacks.
(3) Once upgraded to 100%, the guardian spirit can create a temporary physical body and dual cultivate with the master to increase her strength.
(4) Once upgraded to 200%, the guardian spirit can take over the body of Xu Xiuying permanently.
(5) Guardian Spirit shares qi and essence with the master until she has a permanent body.
(6) Guardian Spirit can use all master's skills, but her strength depends on her level. Currently, 1% efficiency.
(7) Guardian Spirit can use all her original's skills, but her strength depends on her level. Currently, 1% efficiency.

Having a ghost guardian spirit was like having a Jojo Stand. Xu Miao was tempted to buy it immediately.
Unfortunately, the last option had a more tempting perk. He could upgrade the Isolation Space from level 3 to level 4 and increase the time distortion ratio from 1:5 to 1:10.
One hour in the real world is equal to five hours in the isolation space. Therefore, 8 hours of sleep translated into 40 hours of free training time. By doubling the amount, Xu Miao would have 80 hours a night, which would give him more time to dual-cultivate and farm more essence.
Xu Miao gritted his teeth. He wanted to buy Xu Xiuying's clone right now, but increasing the isolation space time was more productive. He swallowed his greed and upgraded the space.
'It's fine! I'll summon Jiang Lan and do her again! I got roughly 20 - 24 yang essence an hour, so 80 hours should give me 1600 essence! I don't care if Jiang Lan won't be able to walk for a month after this, but I need it!'
By imagining the tasks, Xu Miao's hips, stomach, and legs became sore. 800 Rounds of sex was a lot of hard work for him since Jiang Lan was always passive in sex.
[[Ding]]
[[You have upgraded Isolation Space Training to level 4.]]

After upgrading the IST, Xu Miao turned his attention to Kang Yan.
The girl finally woke up, but her eyes were blank. She sat up and gazed at Xu Miao, waiting for his orders.
Currently, Kang Yan was semi-mind-broken. She could still act on her own. However, she had lost her cultivation base and regressed back to level 1 of the 2nd stage.
Xu Miao needed to find a replacement technique or a manual for Kang Yan to regain her strength and expand her dantian. She didn't have a cheating system like him. Therefore, without a proper cultivation technique, she couldn't get stronger.
Xu Miao gazed at his rainbow spatial ring. There were many technique manuals in there, so he scanned through all the books and scrolls, searching for a useful scripture or a technique for Kang Yan.
To his surprise, 99% of the loot was duplicated manuals and scrolls, which might have been prepared to distribute to their disciples or children.
Rakshasa Swordsmanship
Rakshasa Spearmanship
Yaksha Archery
Yaksha Fist Technique
Haunting Ghost Footwork
How to awaken oni bloodline for dummies
These were basic techniques that took 99% of the manuals. Xu Miao guessed that they were techniques that ancient onis commonly used. As for the bloodline awakening book, it was useless for Kang Yan since she wasn't an oni.
Still, it wasn't hard to find a unique scroll, which stood out from the rest of the books.
Moon Meridian Scripture
The title caught Xu Miao's eyes. When he took it out and browsed it, he was shocked.
It was a secret technique that could make practitioners adapt to demonic qi. Moreover, it included spiritual arts and essence gathering techniques. Just by practicing this scripture alone, one could reach the 4th stage within a few years.
[Ah, it has been a while. That's my ex-master's core cultivation technique. You should try it whenever you can. It's better than fucking random girls all the time.]
Killer Queen also woke up and noticed the scroll in Xu Miao's hands. She recognized it.
After being warned that he couldn't practice it, Xu Miao inspected the content in detail.
The technique required the practitioners to cultivate at night under the moonlight. Whenever the cultivators were meditating, they could convert yin essence from the moonlight into demonic power without the need of yang essence.
That was the first part of the technique. The second part was dantian conversion and adaptation to demon force. Also, it didn't restrict that only demons could cultivate this technique.
Shadow, darkness, coldness, and blood would also become the practitioners' source of demonic essence. Masters of this technique would be invincible as long as they fought under the moonlight, on bloody battlefields, or in dark cold places.
Still, Xu Miao doubted the description. If it was so good, the ex-master of KQ should have defeated all her foes and survived.
[I know what you're thinking. As I said, my ex-master sucks. She didn't master all techniques. Heck, she was a lazy slut that only know how to wiggle her hips to seduce men! She deserves to die!]
"…"
[Anyway, practice it. It will worth your time! Don't forget to bring me with you, so I can eat some of those delicious demon essences.]
Xu Miao agreed. However, there was only one scripture.
'Welp! It's not like I can't copy the texts. System, copy Moon Meridian Scripture's texts into PDF file, please.'
[[Ding]]
[[Moon Meridian Scripture.PDF has been added to miscellaneous files.]]
Seeing that the scripture was properly copied, Xu Miao passed the scroll to Kang Yan, "From now on, cultivate this instead. Forget about your previous cultivation technique."
Kang Yan stared blankly at the scroll. She picked it and scanned through the content. Although her eyes were lifeless, it fluctuated and showed a glimpse of hope.
"If you still have your old cultivation technique, give it to me. You don't need it anymore, right?"
Xu Miao didn't forget to extort the cultivation art from Kang Yan. Since he had his eyes on the rewards from the tutorial quest number 9, he started collecting techniques for future usage.
Kang Yan handed over a worn-out book to Xu Miao. It was Vital Yin Core Scripture, which was a common technique of Virgin Yin School disciples.
After the exchange, the issue of Kang Yan's cultivation life was solved. From now on, she would cultivate on her own.
But the only issue remained. Should the fact that Kang Yan lost her virginity were to be found, Xu Miao might be in trouble.
'Now, how am I going to explain to Qi Ning, Qi Hong, and Xu Xiuying?'
