Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Most of those who set out together were fathers or uncles, with Liang Yuhan being the only woman, and the rest were male martial artists.

Even in Bafang City, powerful female martial artists were extremely rare, with the majority of martial artists being male.

”Xiaohei, sit down!”

Liang Yunhui mimicked Lin Zheyu with a playful smile, instructing Xiaohei.

Xiaohei glanced at her, flicked its tail, and continued playing by itself.

”Uncle~~”

Liang Yunhui said coquettishly, gazing expectantly at Lin Zheyu.

”Haha~”

Lin Zheyu chuckled upon seeing this.

He called to Xiaohei, letting it sit obediently to accompany Liang Yunhui for a while.

After watching them play for a bit, Lin Zheyu entered the carriage, sat cross-legged, and quietly activated the Blood Boiling Secret Skill.

After more than a month of cultivation, the Blood Boiling Secret Skill was nearly perfect, and he had gained a deeper understanding of it.

Firstly, using it resulted in severe depletion of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, requiring various potent medicines for recovery, needing at least a month or two for nourishing.

However, Lin Zheyu had Source Power, and with sufficient medicinal potency, he could recover quickly.

He hadn’t tried it specifically, but the required medicinal potency was certainly immense.

Secondly, once the Blood Boiling Secret Skill was activated, it couldn’t be stopped, needing to run for at least three minutes, depleting Essence, Qi, and Spirit to the limit before it would stop automatically.

If unable to defeat the enemy after three minutes, each additional minute would equate to burning ten years of lifespan.

Exceeding six minutes would completely deplete Essence, Qi, and Spirit, leading to death from exhaustion.

Therefore, this secret skill was only suitable for use in life-and-death crises.

[Heavenly Dao Rewards the Diligent]

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 22

Skills:

Gale Slash (Perfection)

Blood Boiling Secret Skill (Great Success 98%)

Golden Swan Skill (Tenth Level 100%)

Hundred Refinements Treasure Canon (Third Level 100%)

Turtle Breath Skill (Third Level 100%)

Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness; over the past month, he had accumulated 22 units of Source Power.

Since reaching perfection in the Hundred Refinements Treasure Canon, his physique had enhanced, and he gained more Source Power each time he broke through his limits.

Now, two limit breakthroughs could yield three units of Source Power.

Therefore, the accumulation speed of Source Power had significantly increased.

Besides Source Power, there had also been a substantial improvement in the Blood Boiling Secret Skill, with only a two percent progress gap remaining to perfection.

However, Lin Zheyu had been stuck at ninety-eight percent Great Success for nearly twenty days.

”Still not enough.”

”Without actually running the Blood Boiling Secret Skill once, or even several times, it’s impossible to cultivate it to perfection.”

Lin Zheyu shook his head helplessly.

Because once truly activated, the Blood Boiling Secret Skill couldn’t be stopped prematurely, so he had never used it.

On the journey to Central Plains, encountering various dangers could leave him weak if he used the Blood Boiling Secret Skill, putting him in peril.

And Lin Zheyu did not want to waste Source Power on a cultivation technique that could be mastered in a short time.

”Could it be that I have to wait until reaching the Central Plains to cultivate it to perfection?”

Lin Zheyu muttered to himself.

During this time, he had been exploring ways to halt the Blood Boiling Secret Skill.

Relying on his powerful physique and ability to control Qi and Blood, he indeed made significant progress.

But he got stuck at the part concerning the body’s acupoints.

Regarding body acupoints, Lin Zheyu didn’t know much.

Before reaching the Huajin Level, martial cultivation involved very little about acupoints, mostly rough usages.

Only after reaching Huajin would further development of acupoints occur.

The Blood Boiling Secret Skill aimed to stimulate acupoints to unleash the body’s potential.

The creator of this secret skill had profound knowledge of acupoints, not something a novice like Lin Zheyu could modify at will.

Even if he tried a different approach, focusing on his strength in Qi and Blood, it was still fraught with difficulties.

”I’ll keep trying, the journey is not yet halfway, and I have time.”

Lin Zheyu said to himself.

If he could freely control the activation and halting of the Blood Boiling Secret Skill, he wouldn’t need to worry about depleting his Essence, Qi, and Spirit to the limit.

In this way, the Blood Boiling Secret Skill could be used in regular combat, not just in life-and-death crises.

By activating the Blood Boiling Secret Skill instantly before punching, his strength would increase fivefold in that moment.

Combining a sixfold Qi and Blood eruption with the Wild Bull Fist’s triple power, the punch’s force would reach an astonishing ninety times!

Ninety times is theoretical, with some loss in real use, but it could still achieve sixty to seventy times.

Such a terrifying punch could probably kill that powerful beast outside Bafang City instantly.

Then immediately halt the Blood Boiling Secret Skill, preventing depletion of Essence, Qi, and Spirit to the limit.

Unfortunately, being able to activate and halt the Blood Boiling Secret Skill at will was extremely difficult, and Lin Zheyu couldn’t achieve it yet.

Chirp chirp~~

Outside the carriage, Xiaohei chirped twice, pointing to its back with its paw.

Liang Yunhui, guided by Xiaohei, used a water pouch to help it clean off the mud.

This girl was just too bored, with nothing to do during the journey besides practicing martial arts and reading.

Now helping Xiaohei get cleaned was a pleasure.

Rumble rumble—

The wheels rolled.

This stretch of road was difficult, mostly mountainous, making the journey a bit bumpy.

As darkness approached, the team stopped.

They found a suitable clearing for camping overnight, as continuing might not find another suitable spot before nightfall.
