Chapter 10: The Method of Cultivation _1

After parting ways with Xu Lele, Ye Ming went straight home to begin researching the production of herbal pills.

After two hours of effort, he finally managed to concoct the Bones and Tendons Sculpting Pill.

Carrying the pill, which was only the size of a fingernail, Ye Ming hurried to the hospital and fed it to his mother.

This type of pill had only one side effect, which was to induce deep sleep in the person who ingested it. While asleep, the medicinal properties could exert their greatest effect, helping the user to rebuild their bones and tendons.

Ye Ming checked his mother's pulse and found that everything was progressing as he had anticipated, causing a smile to spread across his face.

Taking advantage of the time while his mother was sleeping, Ye Ming began to absorb the knowledge his grandfather had left for him.

He discovered that what he had acquired was not only medical knowledge but also methods of cultivation hidden within it.

He had consumed too much True Qi while treating Xu Lele today, and it was a good opportunity to replenish it.

Thus, he went to a mountain not far from the back of the hospital and was amazed to find that the place was abundant with Spiritual Energy, making it ideal for him to regulate his breathing and gather his qi.

Ye Ming found a suitable spot, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and regulated his breath.

In no time, a vortex of True Qi formed around him, wildly surging into his body.

Within a hundred meters, the flowers, plants, and trees gradually began to lose their luster.

The influx of a large amount of True Qi brought Ye Ming immense pleasure, sending him into an involuntary state of self-forgetfulness.

Before he knew it, an entire night had passed, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already the early morning of the next day.

Ye Ming stretched his body and exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling extremely refreshed and full of unreleasable energy.

Unable to help himself, he jogged around the mountain, yet still did not feel the slightest fatigue.

In the methods of cultivation, there are also different ranks. Now that he had just stepped over the threshold, reaching the Lower Yellow Rank, his body had already undergone earth-shaking changes.

As time went on, he would become even stronger; he resolved never to let himself be humiliated by others again.

Just as he was feeling happy about his own growth, the urgent ringtone of his cell phone interrupted his thoughts.

He pulled out the phone; the incoming call display showed it was his ex-girlfriend, Xu Ling.

Without a second thought, Ye Ming immediately hung up the call. He did not want to have any further contact with this despicable woman.

But the more he hung up, the more persistent the other party seemed, relentlessly calling him.

Originally thinking of blocking the number, Ye Ming grew curious. He waited for the phone to ring again and then answered the call.

"What is it?" Ye Ming asked indifferently, without much warmth in his tone.

On the other end of the phone, it was not Xu Ling's voice but that of her father, Xu Daqiang.

"Is that Ye Ming? This is Xu Daqiang, Xu Ling's father."

Ye Ming's tone softened slightly, but still without much emotional fluctuation, he asked, "Uncle, do you have something you need me for?"

Though Xu Ling was a terrible person, her father was fairly reasonable and had always been polite to Ye Ming.

"Ye Ming, it's like this..."

Xu Daqiang spoke with some hesitation: "We've heard about what happened between you and Xu Ling."

"And we've already scolded her harshly; it was she who did wrong by you."

"Today, Xu Ling's mother specially made a table full of dishes to sincerely apologize to you, and we hope you won't refuse."

As the saying goes, it's hard to slap a smiling face.

Xu Daqiang's sincere attitude and gentle tone left Ye Ming unsure how to refuse and reluctant to directly dismiss his face.

Feeling compelled, Ye Ming could only agree to come over, but he knew there was no turning back, just curious about the Xu Family's intentions.

Throughout the many years he had known Xu Ling, her family had never been so courteous to him—it must mean there was something more going on.

After checking on his mother's condition, Ye Ming made his way to the Xu Family's house at noon.

Upon entering, the delicious aroma of food hit him.

The table was laden with large dishes of fish and meat, looking like a feast meant to entertain Ye Ming.

The Xu Family had been waiting for some time, and Xu Daqiang, with a smile on his face, came forward to greet Ye Ming as he arrived.

"Little Ye, you've finally made it, come and sit down!"

"My daughter has done some wrong things before, and I want to apologize to you for that. You are a good kid, and she was just blinded for a moment, so please don't take it to heart."

As Xu Daqiang spoke, Zhang Xueping, Xu Ling's mother, quickly added from the side, "That's right, Little Ye, please forgive her. Everyone makes mistakes when they're young. You have to be magnanimous."

Ye Ming didn't say a word the entire time, simply watching the performance unfold before him.

After the parents had their say, Xu Ling, dressed in her pajamas, also came over.

She had made an effort to dress up that day, her face adorned with playful makeup, her hair tied back in a ponytail, and her subtly revealing pajamas added to her allure for men.

She sat beside Ye Ming, and a faint scent wafted over from her.

She whispered into Ye Ming's ear, "Ye Ming, I'm really sorry; I was wrong before."

"Will you forgive me? I want to have a good life with you."

If these words had been spoken in the past, Ye Ming would have been overjoyed and couldn't have asked for more.

But now, his face was expressionless, and his heart completely undisturbed, giving no response.

He would never give a second chance to someone who had betrayed him.

"Ye Ming... please forgive me, won't you?"

Seeing Ye Ming silent, Xu Ling directly deployed her coquettish tactics, shaking Ye Ming's arm.

Zhang Xueping, watching from the side, grew anxious and quickly said with a smile, "Little Ye, you and she have so many years of feelings; you can't just let that go. Besides, who hasn't made mistakes when they were young? You have to give her a chance, right?"

As Ye Ming considered the family's behavior, numerous thoughts emerged in his mind.

Could they possibly know about his newfound wealth?

Ye Ming had been looked down upon by them more than once. Such a change in attitude definitely pointed to other reasons.

However, Ye Ming was still resolute about this matter, "Some things, once done, can never be undone."

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now!"

With an indifferent expression, Ye Ming stood up and was about to leave after dropping that line.

Seeing this, Xu Daqiang panicked, picked up a glass of alcohol, and held it up in front of Ye Ming, saying, "My good son-in-law, your father-in-law here is toasting you right now!"

"If you promise to lead a good life with my daughter, whatever you want, I'll give it to you. You've always liked Xiao Feng's luxury car, haven't you? How about I give it to you?"
