Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Chapter 149: Chapter 83: Fusion Advancement, Unexpected Delight (Part 3)

The Ten Thousand Armies Step emphasizes agility in movement techniques, suitable for short-distance dodging and evasion, making it ideal for use in group battles.

Once the Ten Thousand Armies Step is fully integrated into the Golden Swan Skill and combined with the Six Harmonies Saber Skill, Lin Zheyu will be able to kill ten people in one step and travel a thousand miles without a trace.

After cultivating for two hours, Lin Zheyu stopped to rest.

After finishing his meal and changing clothes, he headed straight to the Han Mansion.

Mr. Han returned to Songyi City yesterday afternoon; Lin Zheyu sent a visiting card, and today he came to pay a visit.

”Mr. Lin, you have arrived. Please come in,” the guard at the Han Mansion said respectfully.

”Hmm.”

Lin Zheyu nodded and, under the guard’s escort, arrived at the backyard of the Han Mansion.

Mr. Han was practicing the Six Harmonies Saber Skill shirtless in the courtyard, covered in sweat.

His saber skill was extremely advanced, having cultivated the Six Harmonies Saber to a masterful level.

”Is Brother Han about to break through to the Qi Blood Realm?” Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

He sensed that the fluctuations of Qi and blood in Mr. Han had grown much stronger, just a step away from the Qi Blood Realm.

Lin Zheyu did not disturb Han Mo’s cultivation.

He sat by a stone table, enjoying snacks served by a maid, leisurely appreciating the scenery in the courtyard.

Winter had already passed, and it was now spring, with many vibrant flowers in bloom in the courtyard.

After waiting for about half an hour, Han Mo finally sheathed his saber and stopped.

”Why didn’t you let me know when you arrived?” Han Mo said with a smile upon seeing Lin Zheyu.

He had been completely engrossed in his martial arts practice and hadn’t noticed Lin Zheyu’s arrival.

”No rush, Brother Han was at a critical point in his practice; how could I disturb you lightly?”

”Brother Han, are you about to break through to the Qi Blood Realm?” Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

”Almost there, I’ve already touched the threshold.”

Han Mo chuckled, feeling very pleased.

After practicing martial arts for so many years, he was finally about to break through to the Qi Blood Realm.

”Brother Han, you might want to try breaking through with the Golden Swan Skill; it might be faster than the Six Harmonies Saber,” Lin Zheyu suggested.

After all, the Golden Swan Skill is a cultivation technique that can directly be practiced to reach the Qi Blood Four Transformations, and its efficiency in training far exceeds that of the Six Harmonies Saber.

”No, I’ve tried the Golden Swan Skill as well, but for me, it’s very difficult to master and I’ve struggled to grasp it.” Han Mo shook his head.

Previously, Liang Song had also taught him the Golden Swan Skill, but unfortunately, he never got the hang of it.

Instead, he had a good talent for the Six Harmonies Saber Skill and made rapid progress, now almost breaking through to the Qi Blood Realm.

”Recently, I picked up a cultivation technique from bandits; it’s also a leg skill that can be directly practiced to the Qi Blood Realm Three Transformations, and it’s much easier to train than the Golden Swan Skill. Does Brother Han want to try it?”

Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

He took out a manual from his pocket and handed it over.

Nowadays, Lin Zheyu would carry a manual with him when going out, hoping to find the opportunity to sell it if he encounters someone interested.

Selling manuals was much faster than robbing bandits for earning money.

Lin Zheyu planned to try selling it to Qiu Gaoxuan once he recovered from his illness, curious if he needed any Qi Blood Realm Skills.

Han Mo took the manual and started to browse through it.

The more he read, the brighter his eyes became.

The Ten Thousand Armies Step focuses on movement agility, and the training difficulty of the initial layers is much less than that of the Golden Swan Skill. Only upon reaching the Fifth and Sixth Layers does the difficulty drastically increase.

”Junior Brother, I’ll buy this manual. Name your price!” Han Mo said excitedly.

The training difficulty of this technique is indeed much lower than that of the Golden Swan Skill, and he was quite confident he could master it.

”No need to be so formal, Brother Han. After all, this manual was also picked up from the bandits; there’s no harm in letting you have a look,”

Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

Mr. Han had always been very good to him, always looking to help him and had given him considerable assistance at the start.

Just as he said, it’s just a manual taken from bandits, there’s no harm in letting Mr. Han have a look.

”How can that be? If you don’t accept the money, I won’t take the manual,” Han Mo said, shaking his head.

He had his principles and didn’t want to take advantage of his junior brother over such a trivial matter.

”Alright, how about you give four hundred taels?” Lin Zheyu said helplessly.

”Where can you find such a cheap Qi Blood Realm Skill, those sold within the military start at five hundred taels of silver or more, and require sufficient military achievements to purchase.”

Han Mo shook his head.

The City Guard also sold Qi Blood Realm Skills, but they required military achievements. He didn’t have enough military achievements, otherwise, he would have purchased one long ago.

It’s challenging to accumulate military achievements, especially within the City Guard.

It was only this past year, after disturbances appeared, that the number of bandits increased. Through suppressing them, he accumulated some military achievements, but it was still not enough.

”Li Fei, bring eighty taels of gold,” Han Mo instructed.

”That’s too much, too much. It’s not worth that much. If you really want to pay, sixty taels of gold should suffice. Otherwise, I won’t accept it,” Lin Zheyu interrupted.

”Alright, sixty taels of gold it is.”

Han Mo nodded and asked a servant to bring sixty taels of gold.

A Qi Blood Realm Skill might not mean much to those aristocratic families, but to him, it was extremely valuable.

”Brother Han, you may try cultivating it. If you don’t understand something, this younger brother can offer some guidance.”

Lin Zheyu said with a smile, ”I recently broke through to the Peak of Bone Forging and have some insights on leg skills.”

”Alright... hmm?”

”You’ve broken through to the Peak of Bone Forging?”

Han Mo’s eyes widened in disbelief.

How long has this junior brother been cultivating, and he has already reached the Peak of Bone Forging!

Han Mo took a while to process this news, his face filled with emotions.

”If the master knew about this, he’d be delighted,” Han Mo said.

”Indeed, and I wonder where the master is right now,” Lin Zheyu said.

He was immensely grateful to Liang Song. Without him, he couldn’t have progressed so smoothly.

Selling a Qi Blood Realm Skill for eight hundred taels of silver, if not for Liang Song, he would have had to save for a long time to afford such a high-level technique.

Additionally, even with money, he might not have been able to buy it.

The black market in Songyi City is tightly controlled by aristocratic families, forbidding the sale of skills above the Qi Blood Realm.

He had attempted to sell the Ten Thousand Armies Step there, but was soon stopped by someone.

After a bit of conversation, Han Mo eagerly began cultivating the Ten Thousand Armies Step.

Lin Zheyu guided him from the side, having already practiced the Ten Thousand Armies Step to the Fourth Layer, instructing Mr. Han in its cultivation effortlessly.

Time passed.

It wasn’t until after dinner that Lin Zheyu, at his sister-in-law’s encouragement, left, by which time the sky was already darkening.

With the new year gone and war resumed, the streets of Songyi City were quite deserted, lacking their former vitality.

After crossing several streets, a servant dressed as an attendant appeared in front of Lin Zheyu.

The attendant bowed from afar and walked up to Lin Zheyu respectfully, saying, ”Mr. Lin, our master invites you.”

”Who might your master be?”

Lin Zheyu asked, somewhat surprised.

Among those close to him were Xu Qin Yi, Ren Qingfeng, and Chen Xihong, and typically they’d be the ones or Mr. Xu who’d invite him.

He recognized those they sent to invite him, but he didn’t know this person before him.

”Our master is an Elder of the Xing Family and wishes to have a word with you,” the attendant said.

”The Xing Family... I’m not going.”

Lin Zheyu flatly refused.

Ignoring the attendant, he continued on his way.

Ever since the deaths of Xing Jinglong and his father, he had been living in peace for some time and didn’t want any further entanglements with the Xing Family.

The people of the Xing Family were all no good.

”Mr. Lin, perhaps you shouldn’t refuse so readily. The Elder mentioned that if you don’t come, your friends might suffer some unpleasant consequences.”

”Though Mr. Lin’s relatives are not in Songyi City, during your time here, you’ve made close friends with people like Wo Yinghe, Jia Yanrong, and Xie Jiang.”

”Mr. Lin wouldn’t want any trouble to come their way, right?”

The attendant said with a smile, as if discussing a trivial matter.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zheyu’s eyes narrowed, coldly gazed at the attendant.
