Chapter 21

Xia Ning chang entered the Contribution Hall and secretly looked back. She found that Yang Kai had already left which made her quietly heave a sigh of relief. Probably because of what happened in the morning, she always had a feeling of being a thief with a guilty conscience.

Just when she was in a turmoil of heart, she heard Shopkeeper Meng standing behind the counter sighing continuously.

“What’s the matter, Master?” Xia Ning shang asked.

“I’m lamenting that kid just now.” Shopkeeper Meng laments: “He’s a good kid, willing to endure hardships and work hard, with a good character and a not bad temper…”

When Xia Ning shang heard her master praise Yang Kai so much, she suddenly became angry. She thought you don’t know what he did to your apprentice in the morning. He actually took off all his clothes, defiled your apprentice’s eyes and scared her.

Youdaoplaceholder0 Meng kept talking, and the more Xia Ning listened the angrier she became. She stretched out her hand and suddenly slapped the counter.

With a “pop” sound, there was the sound of something being smashed.

Shopkeeper Meng took a closer look, and her face suddenly distorted. She howled heartbreakingly： “My Earth-rank lower-grade Blood Ganoderma worth twenty contribution points…”

“is This Blood Ganoderma?” Xia Ning shang looked at the thing that had turned into powder on the table wondering if her master was getting old and had bad eyesight? How could this be Blood Ganoderma?

“No, no, my teacher was wrong.” Shopkeeper Meng blew a light breath, and the powder on the counter immediately flew out as if being pinched by an invisible hand and scattered outside the door without falling a single bit along the way.

By the way, what did you come to see as a teacher for today? Shopkeeper Meng adjusted his expression and became rarely serious.

“I broke through.”

Youdaoplaceholder0 Meng’s face twitched, and he carefully examined Xia Ning shang’s realm, couldn’t help but nod repeatedly: “Good, good. As expected, I wasn’t wrong. Only a physique like yours is truly suitable for this cultivation method. Here, take this pill and it can stabilize your realm.”

“Yes.” Xia Ning took it and hesitated for a moment before whispering: “Master, how is your injury?”

Youdaoplaceholder0 Meng smiled slightly: “Don’t worry about being a teacher. I’ve come through so many years and it’s nothing serious.”

Yang Kai rushed back to the small wooden house with a feeling of excitement and anticipation.

Now that the Three-leaf Residual Soul Flower and the Absolute Ground Dry Wood Grass have both been prepared, and the quantity is not small, it should be enough for a while.

Everything is ready and only the east wind is lacking. Yang Kai really wants to know if that incense burner can really assist him in his cultivation.

The wooden house was located in the most remote and desolate part of Lingxiao Pavilion basically ignored, so Yang Kai was not worried about exposing his secret. He walked into the house, summoned the wordless black book flipped to the third page, and then took out the incense burner and placed it beside the bed.

He then fetched the three-leaf withered spirit flower and the dead wood grass, stuffed the two kinds of herbs into it, and then covered the lid.

In an instant, a faint strange fragrance filled the wooden house. Yang Kai took a deep sniff and carefully felt it. He found that although this fragrance was a bit special, there was nothing particularly noteworthy about it. Moreover, after he took this breath, his body didn’t feel anything.

However, the fragrance continuously gushes out from the holes in the lid of the incense burner drilled into Yang Kai’s nostrils without any delay like slender little snakes, extremely strange, entering his body through Yang Kai’s mouth and nose.

It seemed that something had suddenly been added to his body. In his flesh and blood, in his meridians, and even in his bone marrow, a burst of numbness spread throughout his body.

Yang Kai didn’t dare to neglect. He quickly picked up the incense burner and ran out to prepare for cultivation.

With one step, Yang Kai was immediately surprised. His foot seemed to be filled with lead, extremely heavy. And as this step was taken, his physical strength was also rapidly draining away.

Taking another step, Yang Kai actually had the illusion of being completely exhausted. A cold sweat broke out all over his body, and all the muscles in his body tensed up. The qi sensation that had just been cultivated in his body was pounding in the meridians, and the bones all over his body were creaking.

When the third step was taken, Yang Kai’s legs went soft, and he directly knelt on the ground. The censer in his hand also rolled a long way.

Supporting the ground with both hands, Yang Kai remained motionless like a mountain, but his heavy breathing was like a twitching broken bellows. His chest rose and fell violently, and all the flesh and blood on his body was twitching. The meridians, internal organs, and bones were expanding, contracting, and the numb feeling was getting stronger and stronger. Yang Kai wanted to roar, but he suppressed it tightly.

His current situation was clearly a state of overwork. He had experienced it several times before, so Yang Kai was still quite familiar with it.

However, he had clearly only walked three steps just now. How could he have exhausted all his physical strength？ Not only was his physical strength exhausted, but his spirit was also extremely tired, as if he hadn’t slept for several days and nights. The tiredness hit, and his eyes were a little blurred.

It could be said that his dropped to the lowest point, and he didn’t even have the strength to move a finger.

At this moment, the medicinal effects of the Three-leaf Soul Remnant Flower and the Desolate Deadwood Grass emerged in Yang Kai’s mind.

Both herbs have a slight toxicity. The toxicity is not strong. Even if an ordinary person eats several plants, it doesn’t matter. However, the former damages the spirit, and the latter damages the body. Combining with his current physical condition, Yang Kai somewhat understands.

I’m afraid it’s precisely because he inhaled the strange fragrance in the incense burner that this happened. But neither the Three-Leaf Soul-Damaging Flower nor the Absolute-Desolation Deadwood Grass can have such a strong medicinal effect. The mystery must lie in the incense burner. It can infinitely magnify the medicinal effects of these two herbs.

He has obtained the Proud Bone Golden Body, and his recovery ability is extremely strong. He didn’t feel tired after cultivating for a long time that day, and naturally couldn’t reach the limit. Without reaching the limit, his potential couldn’t be forced out.

But now it’s different. He is already exhausted just by taking three steps. It’s so easy to reach the extreme state. In the future, why worry about not being able to cultivate？

Yang Kai has always firmly believed that a person’s potential is endless. The key lies in how to tap it. Although the qualification can affect a warrior’s growth, one’s own efforts are also an indispensable factor. Therefore, over the years, even though he knows that his qualification is not good, he has been tireless and never given up on cultivation.

Thinking of this, Yang Kai’s spirit is greatly boosted！

His hands gradually exerted strength, propping up his extremely tired body. His two thighs trembled violently. Yang Kai’s blue veins bulged, and his eyes were about to split. He propped himself up little by little, inch by inch.

Almost all the physical strength in the body has been drained, and the consciousness is about to be blurred, but a strong obsession in the heart suddenly bursts out. There has never been such a strong desire in his life, the desire to win！

Stand up！ Get up from where you fell！ Standing up is to break through the limit and win！

Time has never passed so slowly. It took the time of a cup of tea for Yang Kai to half straighten his body, and his feet also stepped on the ground. His legs were slightly bent and trembling like a pendulum, but the trend of straightening up was so firm that even though it was slow, it never changed.

Finally, accompanied by Yang Kai’s roar, his body stood up straight, with a slight stagger, and his feet firmly fixed in place.
