Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Chapter 148: Chapter 83: Fusion Advancement, Unexpected Delight (Part 2)

The mysterious energy drew the medicinal power, surging into his limbs, bones, and muscles, further strengthening him.

After a dozen breaths.

Lin Zheyu opened his eyes, filled with deep exhaustion.

Using nine units of source power in one go almost overwhelmed him, causing strong drowsiness and fatigue to well up within his spirit.

”Whew...”

”Using nine units of source power at once was a bit much.” Lin Zheyu exhaled deeply.

He rubbed his brow, and only after resting for a while did he recover.

The medicinal power in the two wooden basins had been completely consumed, and the qi and blood in his body were stronger than ever before.

”Hmm?!”

Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness and couldn’t help but let out a surprised sound.

[Heavenly Dao Rewards the Diligent]

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 2

Skills:

Wild Bull Fist (Perfection)

Six Harmonies Blade (Minor Achievement 79%)

Golden Swan Skill (Seventh Layer 2%)

Ten Thousand Armies Step (Fourth Layer 23%)

Poison King Body (First Layer 0%)

Turtle Breath Skill (Third Layer 4%)

”Even the Ten Thousand Armies Step improved!”

Lin Zheyu’s face lit up with joy.

He had already cultivated the Golden Swan Skill to its peak, wanting to continue ascending required personal insight and creation.

After acquiring Ten Thousand Armies Step, he gained new inspiration, discovering another path to enhance his body technique.

Therefore, while training in the space of consciousness, he unconsciously advanced the Golden Swan Skill towards the direction of Ten Thousand Armies Step, increasing its agility and close-range evasion capability.

”If I continue to progress, I might be able to directly merge these two cultivation techniques into a new one,” Lin Zheyu contemplated privately.

Completely merging them is somewhat difficult, but incorporating Ten Thousand Armies Step into Golden Swan Skill, removing conflicting aspects, can still be achieved.

However, it requires a long period of research, practice, and improvement.

Time is something he is not lacking.

One unit of source power allows him to practice for about a year in that special space of consciousness.

Swoosh!

Lin Zheyu moved, disappearing from where he stood.

With the Golden Swan Skill executed, he moved rapidly in the courtyard, his form like a phantom, sprinting less than a meter before quickly changing direction to continue accelerating.

Sometimes, he would turn around mid-air, leaping forward and back, dodging left and right, more elusive and unpredictable than before.

Bang!

Lin Zheyu suddenly appeared in front of the wooden stake, and with the explosion of blood energy within, his fist swung with immense momentum.

His punch struck the wooden stake with a dull boom.

”Compared to the Qi Blood First Transformation, my power has nearly doubled,” Lin Zheyu mused to himself.

Every qualitative transformation of qi and blood enhances the energy contained in each unit and the power it can unleash.

After raising his strength, Lin Zheyu didn’t use the remaining two units of source power.

After reaching the seventh layer of the Golden Swan Skill, the difficulty of enhancement increased significantly.

He estimated he would require about twelve units of source power to break through to the Qi Blood Three Transformations, reaching a state where qi and blood are as fierce as a tiger.

Two units of source power don’t significantly boost his strength, so there’s no rush.

Having just broken through, his spirit was very tired, requiring sufficient rest.

After resting, Lin Zheyu went out on patrol.

With his position elevated, there were some tasks he needed to handle. However, Mr. Xu assigned him a deputy, leaving most tasks for the deputy to handle.

”Sir!”

Zhenbin saluted Lin Zheyu.

Over time, he was increasingly convinced by Lin Zheyu.

This Mr. Lin was humble. Zhenbin had challenged him several times, and Lin Zheyu easily defeated him, stopping just short of causing harm.

After each battle, he gave Zhenbin advice, allowing him to gain a lot.

”Nothing much happening recently?” Lin Zheyu asked.

”Not really, just that the warfare has resumed, with more merchant caravans passing through the city, causing a bit of chaos. Rumors say the chaotic army has captured another city, making some city residents anxious,” Zhenbin replied.

”Alright, you can go about your duties.” Lin Zheyu nodded.

He arrived at the Bidan Tea House, finding it much quieter than usual.

The warfare had eased for more than a month, but the lives of the people hadn’t improved, and now the chaotic army began to attack cities again, so business couldn’t flourish.

”Mr. Lin, over here!”

Xie Jiang waved to Lin Zheyu, inviting him over.

”Just call me Mr. Lin, calling me ’Sir’ feels too formal.”

Lin Zheyu said with a smile. He had reminded them many times, yet they still called him ’Sir’.

He found it quite unsettling.

”How could we do that? If we call you Mr. Lin, how would others view us, where’s the dignity?” Ning Hui said.

”Fine, call me whatever you want,” Lin Zheyu said helplessly.

After having some tea and chatting with them for a while, sharing some snacks, Lin Zheyu left.

That night marked the opening of the black market.

In the black market, Lin Zheyu sold the goods seized from bandits for a hundred and twenty taels of silver.

He initially wanted to set up a stall to sell the Ten Thousand Army Merits but was stopped as soon as he did. The black market prohibited the sale of cultivation techniques above the Qi Blood Realm.

Reluctantly, Lin Zheyu had to give up.

Currently holding over a thousand silver taels, he estimated it would suffice for a while, so he didn’t sell the Blood Elixir and gloves.

Both items were extremely valuable, potentially useful in the future.

Time passed, and three days went by.

In the courtyard.

Lin Zheyu practiced the Six Harmonies Saber Skill with a saber in hand.

His life returned to calm, as he stayed in the city, without leaving again during this period.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The saber light flickered as Lin Zheyu swiftly maneuvered within a small space, dodging and evading.
