As John and Pedro got closer to the shop, they counted the number of people waiting outside.

40 minutes later...

Pedro and John finally managed to get into the shop and that's when a sales assistant came up to them:

V- "Hello dear customers, how can I help you?

P- "Hello, we'd like some rank 3 pills! Please".

V- " So rank 3 ... I see which one of you it's for ".

P- " It's for him, I've come to assist "

V- "Right, gentlemen, please follow me".

John and Pedro both follow the sales assistant with interest.

They both arrive in a very sumptuous and elegant room.

The sales assistant returned with three boxes in her hand, each made from a combination of black and white wood, creating a beige colour.

V- "Let's get back to our main subject, here are three boxes, each containing pills to increase a certain capacity of the body".

While John and Pedro talked to the saleswoman about the various pills, the Shadow watched them from a distance to see if there was any problem.

After the discussion, about half an hour later, John left with two rank 3 pills.

One of the two pills is for the mind to strengthen his spirit

And the other is for the physical, to increase the body's muscular capacity.

P- "Thank you very much for your excellent work".

J- "Yes, thank you very much".

V- "Thank you for stopping by and we hope to see you again very soon".

John and Pedro continued on their way out of the sect and towards John's house, or rather his dilapidated shack.

Pedro saw the house and felt sick, so he asked John

"Is this really where you live?

John replied with a long, dismayed sigh

"Yes, it is... Why are you asking me this?

"So listen, I'll leave you here and wish you a good day".

"Have a nice day."

John felt relieved to see Pedro leave, as he could at last cultivate his crops and enjoy some peace and quiet.

John got into position, swallowed the pill for the mind and strengthened his spirit by doing one of the many techniques he had learnt during his time in the library, which was called "Pyramid steps".

He puts himself in position for more than 4 hours and increases his level of physical cultivation, becoming a Layer of Nature's Breath.

His body becomes harder than lead but is particularly heavy, and this also makes for good training.

After this day, he went home to rest...
