This yin-yang spring was half white and half black. It was also hot and cold at the same time. It was a strange thing naturally formed by heaven and earth.
Even Bai Qiaomo had only seen the auction of the yin-yang spring water. It was the first time he had seen such a pool of yin-yang spring water.
Feng Ming had only seen descriptions in books. Since the yin-yang spring was so special, he dared to make a bold guess.
Feng Ming slowly turned his head to look at Bai Qiaomo. “Now I really believe that you are the protagonist. The protagonist can always find the best opportunity.”
Then he cheered again. “We did it, we did it, we actually found a yin-yang spring. Brother Bai, let’s go down and soak in the spring water. This time, I can advance to the qi gathering realm.”
Bai Qiaomo was also very happy. Yes, you can advance. The effect of using the yin-yang spring to advance is very good. In the future, it will be easier for you to advance to the essence dan realm than others.
As he walked down, Bai Qiaomo felt a bit sad. He thought about why he failed to overcome the tribulation in his previous life.
Perhaps it was just too difficult in the early stages. He might’ve repaired his dantian and practiced again, using the Yang Yuan Classic to regulate his body, but it still left hidden dangers in his advancement.
Seeing the spring water in front of him, he thought that if he had successfully broken through the formation in his previous life and taken a dip in this pool of water, he would’ve been able to eliminate the hidden dangers left by this body. Unfortunately, he missed this yin-yang spring water.
Then he smiled again and looked at Feng Ming, who wasn’t hiding his excitement at all. Feng Ming jumped up as he walked. Bai Qiaomo didn’t regret what he had experienced.
In his last life, he couldn’t believe in anyone and spent his whole life alone.
After he was reborn, he was lucky enough to meet Feng Ming. There was Feng Ming accompanying him on the road ahead, and he believed that the scenery along the way would be much more beautiful.
Bai Qiaomo seemed to be walking too slowly, so Feng Ming pulled him and ran quickly. Bai Qiaomo smiled again. It was so good now.
After coming to the yin-yang spring, they could feel the heat and cold emanating from the water. The overlap made them feel both hot and cold. It was a unique feeling.
“Brother Bai, which side of the pool do you want to soak in first?” Feng Ming didn’t know how to choose. He wanted to put his feet out to explore but then retracted them.
Bai Qiaomo pointed to the dividing line between the yin and yang sides. “Take a dip in the middle. The line in the middle is the intersection of the yin spring and yang spring. Once you go in, you will know what it feels like. By the way, Junior Brother Ming, do you remember the formula for advancing to the qi gathering realm?”
Feng Ming nodded. He had already memorized it in his heart and practiced it in his mind. He would never go wrong. “Then I’ll go in.”
“Okay.”
There was a plop and Feng Ming jumped into the middle of the spring where the yin spring and the yang spring met.
Originally, he thought it would be a world of fire and ice. He was prepared to suffer a lot. It would be fine as long as the result was good.
He didn’t expect that it was actually warm here. The two heavens of ice and fire were entirely his imagination.
Bai Qiaomo couldn’t help feeling happy when he saw Feng Ming’s dumbfounded look. He crouched down and touched the spring water in the middle, saying with a smile, “The temperature in the middle is like this. Once Junior Brother Ming advances to the qi gathering realm, you can use the yin spring and yang spring respectively. It is good to temper your body and your meridians.”
Feng Ming understood after seeing the smile on Bai Qiaomo’s face. “Okay, Brother Bai. You must be seeing my joke on purpose. Hmph, I won’t care about you any longer. I’m going to practice.”
Bai Qiaomo smiled as he watched Feng Ming sitting in the middle. Then he closed his eyes and started to cultivate.
He didn’t rush into the spring water but first waited to watch Feng Ming’s breakthrough.
At the peak of the late stage of the meridians opening realm, vital energy had accumulated in the meridians but there was no way to transfer it outside the body.
In order to achieve a breakthrough, they only needed to open up the connections between these meridians and the dantian. Then all the energy would have a home.
The cultivators could also actively absorb the vital energy from the outside world, refine it into their own vital energy and accumulate it in the dantian.
Feng Ming closed his eyes and immersed himself in cultivation. He couldn’t mobilize the energy in his meridians to attack outside, but he could control it in his own body.
Therefore, he was now controlling part of his vital energy to attack the barrier between his body and dantian.
Feng Ming seemed to hear a sound inside his body. It was the sound caused by the flow of vital energy in the meridians hitting the barrier.
He recited the formula silently and pinched the magic formula with his hand. This could help him mobilize more vital energy. In addition, the pure vital energy in the spring water entered his body along with the formula and joined the vital energy, hitting the barrier of his dantian.
The sound of crashing and rumbling became louder. It wasn’t known how long it took. Feng Ming, who was immersed in cultivation, felt a buzzing sound, and the barrier was broken.
The vital energy that had congested his meridians until it was a bit swollen and painful seemed to finally have a destination. It rushed into the wider dantian space.
Feng Ming knew that he had finally stepped into the threshold of the qi gathering realm and didn’t dare to relax. His consciousness controlled the vital energy entering his dantian not to run around, but instead tried his best to condense it into a rotating vortex of vital energy.
At first, these energies weren’t tamed. They always wanted to escape Feng Ming’s control and sneak out.
If it didn’t work once, try it twice. Feng Ming didn’t believe he couldn’t control it.
As expected, he only tried it a few times before a vortex of vital energy appeared in the middle of his dantian. The escaped vital energy obediently joined the group and rotated around the center of the vortex.
Gradually, he refined the vital energy into his own vital energy.
The moment Bai Qiaomo saw the energy rushing in from all around him and the spring water around Feng Ming surging, he knew that Feng Ming had succeeded in breaking through.
He hadn’t expected it to be so fast. It only took an hour, which was much faster than the time Bai Qiaomo took to advance before.
It took him half a day to advance when he was in the Kunyuan Sect. This was already considered a genius in the eyes of many people. Most people needed to spend a few days in retreat to break through.
Bai Qiaomo thought it should be related to the fact that Feng Ming had opened up 36 meridians. The more meridians that were opened, the more energy that could be mobilized in the meridians to collide with the dantian barrier. No matter how tough the barrier, it was easier for it to be broken.
This also explained why it took a longer time for cultivators with fewer meridians opened to advance to the qi gathering realm. Many cultivators also needed to take pills to assist in the breakthrough.
Feng Ming had also prepared some pills, but they weren’t used.
If Feng Ming’s situation was to be spread, who would say that he was a useless person in cultivation? Who wouldn’t praise him for his genius?
Bai Qiaomo also felt proud. Currently, he had only opened up 24 meridians in his body. His speed couldn’t be compared to Feng Ming at all.
But now, there was the yin-yang spring water. Perhaps this time, he could open up all the remaining meridians in one go.
After practicing for half a day, Feng Ming stopped absorbing the energy. The mass of energy in his dantian had swelled a lot, and he felt a bit stretched.
He opened his eyes. There was joy in his eyes as he saw Bai Qiaomo, who had been guarding beside the spring. He said happily, “Brother Bai, I have advanced.”
Even though he knew he could advance, Feng Ming was still very happy when he really advanced to the qi gathering realm.
He knew that his problem would be solved sooner or later, but he always heard others say privately that he was a useless person in cultivation. He had held his breath while wanting others to see if he was truly a useless person or not.
He was only 16 years old now. Was there a 16 year old qi gathering realm cultivator who was a waste? He was definitely a genius.
Bai Qiaomo nodded. “Yes, Junior Brother Ming has advanced to the qi gathering realm and your realm is very stable. It is more solid than other cultivators who have just entered the qi gathering realm.”
Feng Ming nodded repeatedly. “The yuan energy in my dantian is a big ball, and it is very pure. Haha, Brother Bai, come down and hang out. Don’t just protect me.”
“Okay.”
Bai Qiaomo jumped into the spring water on the white side. Suddenly, the heat became even more steamy and enveloped Bai Qiaomo’s whole body in steaming mist.
Feng Ming didn’t rush to cultivate this time. He returned to the shore to rest for a while, watching Bai Qiaomo practice. At the same time, he gnawed on the spiritual fruit and some dried meat.
There was no way to tell whether it was day or night here. He didn’t know how much time passed and it was a bit exhausting.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and half of the yin-yang spring in the pool was gone. Bai Qiaomo finally ended his training. He used the pure vital energy of the yin-yang spring water to open up all the remaining meridians in one breath. This greatly saved his training time.
Feng Ming finished earlier and stayed by the pool, refining pills and studying alchemy techniques while waiting for Bai Qiaomo to finish cultivation.
During this period of time, no one broke in to disturb them. This showed that the layout outside could really deceive people’s perception.
It was no wonder that after many explorations of the Xuanyue Secret Realm, all parties still attached great importance to this secret realm. Opportunities such as the yin-yang spring had never been discovered before.
Feng Ming also used the yang spring and yin spring to temper his body. However, his original physique was worse and his endurance was far less than Bai Qiaomo’s.
Therefore, he would also go in to practice for a while before coming out again. Once he felt that he could bear it, he went in and soaked for a while. This was repeated several times until he reached the limit of his practice.
He could clearly feel that his physique had improved by 20% compared to when he first entered the secret realm.
Of course, this was also related to advancing to the qi gathering realm. Every breakthrough would be a transformation and improvement of the body.
Feng Ming saw Bai Qiaomo coming out of the spring. He might be wearing clothes, but his clothes were completely soaked and exposed the lines of his body.
Feng Ming was envious in his heart. This figure was much stronger than his, and the muscle lines were also very beautiful. No wonder why the man who transmigrated to the book said that many beauties admired him.
Feng Ming took another look with envy and asked with concern, “Brother Bai, how is your training going?”
Bai Qiaomo took in everything with his eyes. He clenched his fists and replied, “It feels very good, even better than before. Once I go out, I can definitely fight with a desolate beast in the essence liquid realm.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll also practice with a desolate beast in the qi gathering realm when I go out,” Feng Ming said while looking at the remaining spring water. “Let’s bring some more yin-yang spring water out. After some time, there will be a pool of yin-yang spring water here again.”
Bai Qiaomo dried his clothes, looked back at the pool, and nodded. “Yes, the environment here is special since the yin-yang spring water could be created here. It is a pity to destroy it. It will accumulate again and be left to be discovered by later generations.”
A bunch of tools had naturally been prepared before entering the secret realm. Feng Ming used a bottle to get the spring water.
He was surprised to find that the spring water in the bottle was still divided into two colors and didn’t completely merge into one. It was really magical.
Feng Ming finished one bottle and then another. He handed the bottle to Bai Qiaomo, who took it with a flash of his eyes.
Sometimes, he wished that Feng Ming wouldn’t be so polite with him and tell the difference so clearly. Still, he would take his time. They had plenty of time to get along.
