The arrival and departure of Feng Jinghuai and Gong Yuming had no impact on Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo. They still lived a fulfilling life.
In addition to practicing alchemy, Feng Ming liked to hold the notebook of Senior Xu Qi.
In his opinion, this was more like the diary of his senior that covered a very long period of time.
Xu Qi carried it with him, took it out, and wrote something down on it when he thought of it.
That day, Feng Ming opened a new page and studied the contents recorded on it.
The more he looked, the more serious Feng Ming’s expression became. He looked thoughtful.
The new content recorded by Senior Xu Qi happened to be somewhat related to Feng Ming. It was because the senior met a new patient.
The patient’s physical condition was very similar to Feng Ming’s. His meridians were also small and fragile. After seeking medical treatment in vain, he came to Senior Xu Qi.
The notes recorded that the senior spent a lot of time reading various classics in the sect. He also took the trouble to use pills and rare treasures to regulate the body of the patient.
There had been some improvement, but it was impossible to recover to the level of a normal cultivator. In other words, the degree of growth that could be achieved through cultivation was very limited. At most, he could reach the essence liquid realm but couldn’t be promoted to the essence dan realm.
Xu Qi didn’t give up and continued to study for a long time. Feng Ming could see that Senior Xu Qi’s record was intermittent, and it should’ve lasted for several years.
Feng Ming read until the end of this patient case and saw Xu Qi’s last words: Destroy and then rebuild.
Feng Ming murmured, “Destroy and then rebuild. Is this what I think? Did Senior finally solve the patient’s physical condition?”
It was a pity that there were no related records afterward. Feng Ming had no way of knowing the results.
Seeing the words now, Feng Ming thought more and more that Senior Xu Qi was someone who was immersed in medical skills and belonged to the technical research talent. How could such a talent become a rebel of the sect?
The more he looked, the more doubts he had and the more he wanted to clarify the situation with the senior.
There were the issues of his own cultivation. He originally wanted to wait until he could stimulate more soul power before solving it completely in one go. Now he found that the waiting time was too long and he couldn’t wait any longer.
If his physical condition didn’t improve, his cultivation would remain at the stage of just entering the meridians opening realm.
The strength of the meridians opening realm was related to how many meridians the cultivator had opened in his body.
The more meridians that were opened, the stronger the strength in the meridians opening realm and the greater the potential for the cultivator to advance in the future.
Different grades of techniques required different numbers of meridians to be opened.
The lower the grade of the technique, the fewer meridians that needed to be opened.
This would greatly shorten the time it took for cultivators to break through the meridians opening realm and enter the essence liquid realm.
However, even if such a cultivator entered the essence liquid realm, they might not be able to defeat a cultivator in the middle or late stage of the meridians opening realm who had opened up multiple meridians. The possibility of moving up further would also become smaller and smaller.
It was for this reason that Feng Ming was looked down upon and considered a waste in cultivation.
With his current physical condition, even with the highest grade technique, he couldn’t open up a single meridian. How could he improve his strength?
Since he awakened his soul power, Feng Ming had been using his soul power to nourish and improve the strength of the first meridian that needed to be opened. However, it took a lot of time to completely open up this meridian.
Now seeing the words ‘destroy and then rebuild’, Feng Ming suddenly realized.
He was still too cautious and used too gentle a technique. Why did he keep using his soul power to warm his meridians?
It was safe, but the progress was too slow and didn’t meet his needs.
Just do it. Feng Ming immediately put away the notebook, turned around and went to his room, closing the door. He wanted to try out the method that Senior Xu Qi mentioned.
This method was difficult for others because it required someone to protect him and natural treasures to nourish and reshape the meridians. But for him, his soul power was the best thing to reshape the meridians.
The moment Bai Qiaomo walked in from outside, he saw Feng Ming closing the door and didn’t even notice him coming in.
He and Feng Ming shared a room at night, but Bai Qiaomo felt that Feng Ming also needed private space. After thinking about it, he didn’t knock on the door to ask and just waited outside.
—
Feng Ming wasn’t a hesitant person. He sat cross-legged in the room, mobilized his soul power, and shattered the meridians that had been nurtured during this period very neatly and decisively.
At the moment of shattering, Feng Ming groaned, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
His soul power had strong healing power, but it wasn’t just healing.
In the end of the world, he figured out the difference between his ability and other healing abilities.
The vitality in his ability was stronger and he could also domineeringly plunder the vitality of the outside world. He just never revealed it to the public.
After rebirth, his soul power also inherited the characteristics of his previous life’s supernatural power. He could not only heal, but also destroy and plunder.
Therefore, he could destroy a meridian in his body by himself without any external help.
The severe pain in his body didn’t shake him at all. Then the soul power containing a huge vitality rushed into that meridian.
Feng Ming didn’t bother wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He focused his whole body and soul on reshaping the meridians in his body.
Very good. He really saw that in the place that was crushed to pieces, it was nourished by the soul power and a small section of new meridians appeared.
He felt that the newly formed meridians were wider than the previous thin meridians. The strength was also greatly enhanced. It was really effective, much better than the effect of the painstaking nurturing.
The overjoyed Feng Ming continued to infuse soul power, watching as his meridians continued to regrow. They were no longer so fragile that they couldn’t withstand the impact of vital energy.
The moment a meridian finished growing, Feng Ming gradually felt the strain. He still lacked some soul power. It was a bit short of what he needed to fully grow a meridian.
Feng Ming quickly took out the thousand year old spiritual milk, a wedding gift from the Feng family of Gaoyang County. He poured a drop into his mouth and used the remaining soul power to guide the spiritual milk to the place where the meridian grew.
The thousand year old spiritual milk really had miraculous effects. After being guided here, it quickly merged with it and caused the slowed down growth rate to increase again. The last section of the meridian finally came out and Feng Ming sighed with relief.
A drop of thousand year old spiritual milk contained spiritual energy. The remaining energy was also guided by Feng Ming to nourish the new meridian. Feng Ming could clearly feel that the new meridian had been strengthened a little bit.
Looking at this new meridian, Feng Ming relaxed in one breath and collapsed, but he laughed happily.
Great. He found a way to speed up his cultivation and improve himself faster.
The slight noise when his body fell down, as well as the weak laughter, made Bai Qiaomo’s heart tightened.
He immediately stood up and walked to the door, asking, “Junior Brother Ming, what are you doing in the room? What’s wrong with you? If you don’t say anything, I’ll come in.”
“Brother Bai, please come in.”
This voice was much less lively than before. Bai Qiaomo became even more worried. He quickly pushed open the door and stepped in. He saw Feng Ming lying on the ground with blood at the corner of his mouth.
This trace of blood was so unsightly that it made Bai Qiaomo’s heart beat wildly.
In a few seconds, Bai Qiaomo walked to Feng Ming’s side. He squatted down and wanted to carry Feng Ming to the bed, but he was worried about hurting Feng Ming. His tone became a bit anxious.
“What is going on? Why did you cough up blood? What were you doing in the room?”
Feng Ming smiled in a very good mood. “I’m fine. Not only am I fine, but I am really good. Really.”
Bai Qiaomo frowned. “You are coughing up blood, but you are very good?”
Seeing that Bai Qiaomo was really anxious, Feng Ming hurriedly explained, “It is really good. I found a way to solve my meridians. I was just testing it, and it worked.”
Bai Qiaomo’s heart tensed. “What method? Is it dangerous?”
Feng Ming sat up with Bai Qiaomo’s help and said nonchalantly, “How dangerous can it be? I have been reading the notes left by Senior Xu. You know this. His notes describe the same situation as mine. After research, Senior Xu proposed a solution, which is to destroy and then rebuild.”
Bai Qiaomo grabbed Feng Ming’s arm with too much force. Feng Ming patted his hand and comforted him. “Brother Bai, don’t worry. I have succeeded. However, I exhausted my soul power after solving only one meridian. I will solve it slowly later and do what I can.”
Bai Qiaomo examined Feng Ming’s face carefully. He looked a bit paler than before, but there was a gleam of excitement in his eyes. This meant he really succeeded.
Feng Ming’s soul power was so special? Bai Qiaomo knew that Feng Ming’s soul power was very unusual. Due to this, Feng Ming was able to easily produce the best-grade pills when refining pills.
But he never expected that such a special soul power could help reshape the meridians. Even in his previous life, he had traveled through so many worlds and never heard of this.
This was so special!
Bai Qiaomo was very sure that if any information was leaked, it would be extremely dangerous to Feng Ming. It must not be revealed.
Thinking of this, Bai Qiaomo loosened his grip on Feng Ming’s arm. The anxiety and worry in his eyes gradually faded away, replaced by a warm look.
All these abnormalities must be related to Feng Ming’s previous life. The special power from the previous life was brought to this life.
Bai Qiaomo didn’t ask what was so special about this soul power but still blamed him, “You should’ve told me before you acted. At the very least, someone would’ve protected you. If something went wrong, they would be able to help you in time. Junior Brother Ming, you were too impulsive this time. You didn’t even discuss it with anyone before you acted on your own. I wonder if my… Uncle, cough, would be worried if he knew about it.”
As he said these words of criticism, he carefully helped Feng Ming to the bed and let him lie down and rest for a while.
Feng Ming didn’t expect Bai Qiaomo to become so nagging. He found it quite interesting, and made him laugh. “My father will be worried. Brother Bai, aren’t you worried too?”
Bai Qiaomo glanced at the man calmly. “I’m worried, but does it make any difference to you?”
Feng Ming shut up. This question was really difficult to answer because he knew that no matter how worried Bai Qiaomo was and no matter how much it affected Bai Qiaomo, Feng Ming would still act like this.
Others might not know, but didn’t he know himself?
Bai Qiaomo had expected the result, but he was still a bit disappointed when Feng Ming only showed a flattering smile.
Feng Ming flattered him. “In fact, the Yang Yuan Classic that Brother Bai gave me also helped a lot. Without the effect of practicing it these days, I wouldn’t have dared to do such a ruthless experiment this time. Really, Brother Bai. Please believe me.”
“Okay, I believe you. Have a good rest. I’ll make you a cup of spiritual tea and ask the kitchen to make you nourishing soup.” These were all used to regulate Feng Ming’s body. They were good things and the medicinal power was very mild.
“I got it. Thank you, Brother Bai.” Feng Ming curled up on the bed, looking pitiful.
Seeing Feng Ming like this, Bai Qiaomo’s heart couldn’t help softening. He really couldn’t be angry with this ger.
He could only soften his tone. “You really need to rest. Tell me before you act next time.”
Feng Ming suddenly became happy. “Okay, I will.”
Feng Ming became full of energy again after only one night’s rest. Bai Qiaomo finally felt relieved and was truly happy for Feng Ming, who had found a way to completely solve his problem.
Feng Ming wasn’t in a hurry to rebuild his second meridian. Instead, he warmed up the first one again and again. Then he started after he was fully prepared.
During this period, the butterfly eggs soaked in the special liquid medicine also started to move. Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo moved toward it together and saw cracks appearing on the first butterfly egg.
Just like animal eggs, the larvae inside had to break through the outer shell themselves in order to become stronger.
After a lot of effort, the larva with a hint of blue on its body finally crawled out.
Just as it was about to fall into the medicine, Feng Ming quickly took it out and placed it on a specially arranged container that contained leaves collected from the valley. The larva immediately crawled onto the leaves and started to eat them.
Once the first larva was born, the second and third followed. Thus, Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo stayed at home even more.
Before, they used to occasionally go out to look for delicious food. Now they never left the house and the food was delivered by others.
Finally, all the larvae hatched. Not a single egg was dead.
30 larvae were fed together. Feng Ming fed them strictly according to the method left by Senior Xu Qi. He invested a lot of yuan crystals. Some things were purchased from outside and even the hundred year old spiritual milk was used.
In a few days, the larvae changed drastically because they were well-fed.
The time for the Jinyuan Hall auction was getting closer and closer. Feng Jinlin, who had been in seclusion, finally came out. His cultivation was smoothly pushed to the peak of the essence liquid realm.
This made Feng Ming extremely excited. He was even happier than when he had rebuilt his own meridians. This meant his father was closer to the essence dan realm.
Just as Feng Ming was preparing to have a good meal to celebrate with his father, Gong Yuming sent someone to deliver a letter.
Feng Ming was very surprised that Gong Yuming would send them a letter. He thought that his friendship with this young master hadn’t reached this point.
After reading the letter, he finally understood why Gong Yuming sent it. It was purely to see the excitement.
Feng Ming gritted his teeth and threw the letter to Bai Qiaomo, who was standing beside him. “These children from aristocratic families are too bad.”
Bai Qiaomo took it and glanced at it, feeling a bit of a headache. He hadn’t expected Gong Yuming to be such a person.
“Don’t worry. We’ll be able to leave here after the auction is over.”
Feng Ming wasn’t convinced. “It is as if we are afraid of them and want to avoid them.”
“Uh… then stay?”
Feng Ming waved his hand. “Forget it. I’m not afraid of them. According to you, Feng Linlang is a bit better, but based on the information I received, her brother Feng Hongrui isn’t a good person. That guy surnamed Wu will probably chase Feng Linlang here too.”
A cold look flashed in Bai Qiaomo’s eyes. He suspected that someone had deliberately passed the message to the man surnamed Wu in order to lure him to Gaoyang County to humiliate Bai Qiaomo.
At this time, Feng Jinlin finally received the final version of the auction list from Jinyuan Hall. There was finally the auction item of the Blue Spring Water on it. At this time, there were only two days left before the auction.

The destroy and rebuild reminded me of the butterflies. Essentially that’s what happens to caterpillars to become butterflies. I wonder if that was part of the thought process. I like the parallel.
