As the saying goes, when reading a book, one should vote; when drinking, one shouldn't urinate. I am shamefully asking for votes again.

But the True Yang Technique is different. When one reaches the limit, the True Yang Essence will transform into a liquid and immerse into the dantian, effectively clearing the meridians, allowing one to continue cultivation. In other words, cultivating this technique will not lead to a limit; as long as there is yang energy, one can cultivate without limit.
This is the second difference, which further highlights the extraordinary nature of the True Yang Technique.
Once the yang liquid is cultivated, it can be used for attacks during battles.
After a moment of deep thought, Yang Kai decided to cultivate this True Yang Technique.
Firstly, he had no choice; without contribution points, he naturally couldn't obtain martial techniques from the sect. Secondly, he believed that anything produced by the wordless black book would definitely not be bad. The techniques in the sect might not necessarily be better than the True Yang Technique.
As for the cultivation environment, it wasn't really something to worry about. The sun is yang, and as long as there is the sun, one can cultivate the True Yang Technique, although the efficiency would be very low.
After all, the sun shines upon the earth, and how much can one person absorb?
With his mind made up, Yang Kai immediately walked outside, placing himself under the sunlight, sitting cross-legged on the ground, closing his eyes, and focusing on the circulation route of the True Yang Technique, trying to control the only thread of essence energy in his dantian to circulate according to the route of the True Yang Technique.
The saying "all things are difficult at the beginning" is not false. Although Yang Kai could communicate with that thread of essence energy, it was extremely difficult to make it circulate.
After a full day of cultivation under the scorching sun, the essence energy in his body only increased by a tiny bit, and the flow of essence energy was as slow as a turtle's crawl. But since it was his first time cultivating, Yang Kai was already very satisfied with this result.
This is a process of gradual accumulation, not something that can be accomplished in a day or two. Yang Kai was never short of patience.
After three days of effort, Yang Kai finally managed to guide the essence energy in his dantian to his chest. With a mental command, he controlled this not-so-powerful thread of essence energy to shuttle through several key acupoints near his chest.
He needed to form the Yang Source Seal in his body according to the information obtained from the wordless black book, which was the first step in cultivating the True Yang Technique.
The Yang Source Seal had no other use except to sense the presence of yang energy. Since Yang Kai was still a novice and his strength was too weak, he had not yet formed his own divine sense and could not detect where there was a dense concentration of yang energy on a large scale.
But with the Yang Source Seal, it was highly sensitive to yang energy. As long as there was yang energy within a certain range, the Yang Source Seal would react.
The thread of essence energy in his body continuously shuttled through his chest, and Yang Kai's expression was solemn, not daring to be the slightest bit careless. Forming the Yang Source Seal was a complex and tedious process, and any mistake in the middle could lead to failure.
An hour passed, two hours passed, and Yang Kai, sitting under the sun, was already drenched in sweat. The prolonged sweating even caused his body to show signs of dehydration, his lips turning white. However, Yang Kai's expression was resolute, and he continued to move the thread of essence energy through the acupoints in his chest, without any signs of frustration or discouragement.
After an unknown amount of time, Yang Kai suddenly felt a strange sensation in his chest, followed by a sharp pain, as if a red-hot iron brand had been pressed onto his flesh.
Yang Kai suddenly opened his eyes, gritting his teeth and enduring the pain.
The pain came and went quickly, and in the blink of an eye, his chest had returned to normal, even feeling a bit cool. However, the intense pain still lingered in his mind, making him feel uneasy.
Subtly, Yang Kai felt that something had been added to his chest, but when he looked down, he saw nothing.
Has the Yang Source Seal formed? Yang Kai frowned, thinking deeply. The Yang Source Seal should have formed successfully; it existed in the center of his chest, just that he couldn't see it.
But since the Yang Source Seal has formed, it should react to yang energy. Why can't I sense it?
Could it be that there is no dense concentration of yang energy nearby?
With a trial mindset, Yang Kai stood up and walked into the Lingxiao Pavilion, paying attention to the movements in his chest as he walked.
After a short while, a warm sensation suddenly came from his chest, and Yang Kai's expression changed!
Indeed, the Yang Source Seal had formed in his body. The lack of reaction earlier was because there was no significant yang energy nearby. Now that it was reacting, it meant that there was yang energy nearby.
Yang Kai's expression was excited. Cultivating the True Yang Technique had very strict requirements for the cultivation environment. The denser the yang energy, the faster the cultivation speed. Relying solely on the sun's power, as Yang Kai did, was undoubtedly the slowest method.
Following the direction of the yang energy sensed by the Yang Source Seal, Yang Kai ran all the way. In just a moment, he rushed into a room.
As soon as he entered, a familiar voice reached his ears: "Eh, little Yang Kai, why are you here at this time?"
Looking up, Yang Kai saw that Shopkeeper Meng was strangely looking at him from behind the counter.
It turned out that this was the Contribution Hall!
Looking at Shopkeeper Meng, then at the back of the Contribution Hall, Yang Kai couldn't help but roll his eyes! The source of the yang energy was clearly the warehouse of the Contribution Hall, which must contain something with yang properties.
But... this is the Contribution Hall. If he wanted it, he would have to exchange contribution points. Yang Kai's contribution points in the ledger were zero; all his contribution points had been exchanged for the Three-Leaf Residual Soul Flower and the Desolate Land Withered Wood Grass!
Realizing this, Yang Kai was extremely disappointed and didn't even bother to respond to Shopkeeper Meng's question, turning around and leaving with a dejected look.
"What do you mean?" Old Meng was instantly depressed.
Wandering aimlessly within the Lingxiao Pavilion, the Yang Source Seal in his chest occasionally played a role, guiding Yang Kai to the source of yang energy. However, these sources were either the residences of the sect's leaders or were already in someone else's possession.
Yang Kai even had the thought of robbing someone in disguise, but looking at his small frame and the strength of others, he had to abandon this idea.
Although he couldn't obtain these yang-attribute treasures, Yang Kai was not entirely without gains. Through multiple experiments and sensations, he found that the Yang Source Seal in his body could clearly sense the presence of yang energy within fifty zhang.
Beyond fifty zhang, the Yang Source Seal could not sense it. This was probably related to his strength. In the future, as his strength increased, the range of the Yang Source Seal's sensing ability would likely expand.
After walking around the Lingxiao Pavilion for two to three hours, except for some restricted areas, he had almost covered the entire Lingxiao Pavilion, but he still found nothing. It made sense; if these things could be sensed by the Yang Source Seal, they would definitely be valuable and wouldn't be left lying around for him to pick up. His thoughts seemed naive and ridiculous.
Should he go to Blackwind Mountain again? There must be something with yang properties in that mountain range, right?
While considering this idea, the Yang Source Seal in his chest suddenly heated up again, and Yang Kai instinctively followed the direction indicated by the Yang Source Seal.
