Chapter 48

Looking at this junior with a bitter face, Yang Kai smiled and said, “Don’t be nervous. I just want to earn a few contribution points. Don’t worry, I’ll be gentle and ensure that it doesn’t hurt you.”

Ten breaths later, this junior fell to the ground, and Yang Kai left with a swagger.

Xia Ning Chang stood on the treetop and saw everything clearly. Her eyes narrowed into crescents, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Witnessing the gradual rise and strengthening of a junior who had lost 147 consecutive battles made her feel a sense of accomplishment for no reason. Although Yang Kai’s had nothing to do with her, after more than two years, Xia Ning Chang had become accustomed to secretly observing this junior. It was like a silent guardianship. When Yang Kai became stronger, Xia Ning Chang also felt happy for no reason.

Beside the Trapped Dragon Ravine, Yang Kai was still cultivating. Five days had passed since he planted the seeds of the Three Yang Fruit. The sapling here had grown to a height of one zhang, and it changed greatly almost every day. At this time, the Three Yang Fruit Tree swayed in the wind, and three bright red flowers were in full bloom. I’m afraid it won’t be long before the fruits are formed.

At that time, Yang Kai will be able to enjoy a sumptuous meal.

Yang Kai’s cultivation in these few days has also achieved quite good results. A drop of Yang Liquid has been condensed in his dantian, and the True Yang Art has become more and more refined.

The task of sweeping the floor every day has been taken over by others, and Yang Kai has a lot more time for cultivation.

Yang Kai has also been inquiring about the movements of the Wind and Rain Building these days. After all, since he killed Cheng Shaofeng and Nu Tao, he can’t be sure that he won’t bring trouble to himself. But to Yang Kai’s relief, there is no movement on the side of the Wind and Rain Building. It seems that Hu Meier didn’t betray him.

This woman is still worthy of trust！

The eighth day of another month has arrived, and finally the contribution points can be settled.

On the eighth day of last month, he just obtained the Proud Bone Golden Body. At that time, he was only at the third level of the Body Tempering Realm. Just one month has passed, and he has actually reached the eighth level of the Body Tempering Realm. This kind of cultivation speed is unrivaled under the heavens. Even those so-called geniuses, with the assistance of elixirs and medicines, definitely don’t have this speed.

Walking into the Contribution Hall, the shopkeeper Meng sitting behind the counter suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Kai in surprise. He found that after not seeing him for many days, Yang Kai’s strength had increased a lot.

The surprise was only for a moment, and then shopkeeper Meng returned to normal. He is not a person without knowledge. On the contrary, his vision far exceeds that of anyone in the Lingxiao Pavilion. So although Yang Kai’s strength has increased a lot, it will not shock him. He has seen too many people who shone brightly in their youth but ultimately achieved nothing.

“Shopkeeper Meng.” Yang Kai greeted.

“Here to exchange for something？” Old Meng sized him up and down.

“Yes, I should have fifty-nine contribution points this month？”

Sweeping the floor could earn ten points, and defeating one person every day could get two points. Yang Kai was not in the sect for three days this month and fought a total of twenty-seven battles. But last time he was caught red-handed by the disciples of the Dark Hall for drinking with Su Mu in the sect, and five points were deducted. Calculated, it was fifty-nine contribution points.

“That’s right. What do you want to exchange？”

“Twenty-nine plants of Absolute Death Withered Wood Grass and thirty Three-leaf Residual Soul Flowers.” The incense burner hadn’t been used for quite a while because of the lack of materials. This thing was of no help in cultivating Yuan Qi, but it was of great benefit to the tempering of the physical body.

Old Meng looked at him meaningfully, walked into the back hall, and packed the things Yang Kai needed and brought them out.

Just as Yang Kai was about to reach out to take them, Shopkeeper Meng took them back and asked with a smile, “Little Yang Kai, can you tell me what you ate exactly last time on Blackwind Mountain？”

He was still somewhat interested in Yang Kai’s adventure.

Yang Kai made up nonsense： “I don’t know either. It was just a bright red fruit. I was hungry and ate it.”

“A bright red fruit… A bright red fruit…” Old Meng fell into deep thought but couldn’t think of the corresponding spiritual fruit no matter what.

After a while, Shopkeeper Meng shook his head： “Forget it. But aren’t you going to save contribution points to exchange for my Marrow Washing Pill anymore？”

The former Yang Kai would calculate carefully and be extremely stingy when spending even a little contribution point. But now he is full of heroic spirit. As soon as this month’s contribution points arrive, he spends them all, which is really not like him at all.

Yang Kai smiled and said, “No need to exchange anymore. Only by working hard oneself can one become stronger. Relying on a pill for hope was my previous short-sightedness.”

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Meng took a deep look at him and nodded with a smile. “Not bad, not bad. That you can see this point really surprises me. Little Yang Kai, I’ll give you a word of advice.”

“Shopkeeper Meng, please speak！”

“Work hard and don’t let your strange encounter down!”

“Disciple has received the teaching！”

After leaving the Contribution Hall, Yang Kai rushed all the way to the side of the Dragon Trapping Ravine.

Summoning the incense burner and throwing the herbal medicine into it, Yang Kai then began to practice fists and kicks beside the Dragon Trapping Ravine. The familiar pressure follows. This kind of pressure is definitely not something that Yang Kai’s current strength can bear. In less than a moment, he was already out of breath and exhausted. But he didn’t give up and kept insist. His slow fists and kicks were opened, and every movement was extremely difficult and obscure. His physical strength flows like the floodwaters of a sluice gate and his spirit was also drowsy and extremely tired.

After a while, Yang Kai could no longer hold on and fell headfirst to the ground.

Youdaoplaceholder0 himself to sit up, he works the True Yang Art to restore his physical strength and spirit.

Yang Kai originally thought that the incense burner had no effect on the cultivation of Yuan Qi, but now he realized that he was wrong. Under the influence of that strange fragrance, the circulation of Yang Qi in his meridians seemed to be confined, extremely slow, flowing little by little, inch by inch, which made people feel helpless.

The strange fragrance hindered the operation speed of the True Yang Yuan Qi, greatly reducing the efficiency of his current cultivation.

Yang Kai was not in a hurry to take back the incense burner, but decided to feel it more. He felt that the incense burner not only had the function of tempering the physical body, but also this thing was extremely wonderful and could not be spied on by him now.

With the help of the incense burner, Yang Kai’s body became stronger day by day, but the cultivation of the True Yang Art was left far behind. The speed of absorbing Yang Qi was greatly reduced. After two or three days of cultivation, the True Yang Yuan Qi in his body did not increase much.

Could this incense burner really only hinder the cultivation of Yuan Qi？ After testing for two or three days, Yang Kai also felt a little discouraged.

If this was really the case, then the value of the incense burner would be greatly reduced.

Helplessly, Yang Kai could only decide to put away the incense burner when recovering, so as not to affect the operation of the Yuan Qi in his body and increase the recovery time for no reason.

After another exhaustion, the incense burner was taken into the Nameless Black Book by Yang Kai.

Running the True Yang Art, Yang Kai’s expression suddenly moved, and he felt it carefully.

Moments later, a smile emerged on Yang Kai’s lips. He discovered that the speed at which the True Yang Yuan Qi in his body circulated was one point faster than the previous two days.

The faster the Yuan Qi circulates, the faster the absorption of Yang Qi. If it is in a battle, the explosive killing power will be stronger.

So that’s how it is！ The existence of the incense burner not only doesn’t hinder his Yuan Qi cultivation, but on the contrary, it has brought him great benefits to a certain extent.

The Yuan Qi in the body has adapted to the pressure brought by the strange fragrance. Suddenly, without the effect of the strange fragrance, it will naturally circulate faster than before. It’s like a person who has adapted to walking with a three-thousand-jin stone on his back. Suddenly, if the three-thousand-jin stone is replaced with a three-hundred-jin one, then he will definitely walk like flying.

This is the same principle.

Noticing this, Yang Kai laughed.

Perhaps in a short period of time, the incense burner will only hinder his cultivation of the True Yang Art, but looking at it in the long run, this little hindrance can bring back huge benefits and advantages. This is another worthwhile investment！
