Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

It might also be because the Soul Secret Skill only acts on the spirit and soul, having no effect on the physical body.

After all, so far, the cultivation techniques appearing in the consciousness data all pertain to physical training methods.

Of course, these are merely Lin Zheyu’s speculations.

The specifics still need more data collection in the future to ascertain the real reasons.

...

...

Time slowly flowed by as the team continued progressing.

More and more snakes appeared along the way.

Suddenly, the melodious sound of a flute rose abruptly in the forest.

Immediately after, a huge commotion followed.

Bang!

A roaring sound exploded.

A giant python, nearly twenty meters long and as thick as a barrel, burst out from the forest, crashing into the middle of the road, emitting a tremendous roaring sound.

An astonishing aura exuded from the giant python’s body.

Its lantern-sized eyes coldly scanned everyone.

An intangible, terrifying aura spread, leaving the weaker ones suffocating.

Roar~ Roar——

Cows and horses, frightened, some struggled to escape, while others directly knelt to the ground.

”Bone Marrow Refining Realm beast!”

Lin Zheyu opened his eyes, looking at the distant beast, with a slight sharpness in his gaze.

To his surprise, Giant Python Village could command such a powerful giant python of Bone Marrow Refining Realm strength, no wonder it carried such a fierce reputation.

He stood up, gripping the handle of the Golden Scale Blade with his right hand, an invisible aura rising from his body, pressing towards the cows and horses in front of him.

Under the pressure of two auras, the cows and horses struggling to escape directly knelt to the ground, their heads hanging low, wishing they could bury themselves in the earth.

”Yunhui, Mrs. Liang, don’t stray too far from me.”

Lin Zheyu said aloud.

Liang Yunhui and Mrs. Liang’s daughter, along the way, had assisted him greatly, avoiding much trouble.

Liang Yuhan’s strength had reached the Qi Blood Realm Three Transformations level, decent among ordinary people, but facing a Bone Marrow Refining Realm beast was utterly inadequate.

One strike from the opponent could severely injure or even kill her.

Under the circumstances, he didn’t mind lending a hand.

Liang Yuhan said nothing, her right hand gripping her sword’s hilt, left hand holding her daughter’s hand, leaping from the cart to Lin Zheyu’s side.

At this moment, Xiaohei, also frightened, awoke with a start and hid swiftly behind Lin Zheyu.

Xiaohei stuck out its plump head, staring at the distant massive python, feeling little fear internally.

Having followed Lin Zheyu and fought fierce beasts stronger than it multiple times, Xiaohei felt little awe towards these Bone Marrow Refining Realm beasts that were stronger than it.

The giant python before it was not even as scary as the beast in the forests of Bafang City.

Hiss— Hiss hiss——

Xiaohei roared ferociously, waving its paw at the distant giant python from behind Lin Zheyu.

”Xiaohei, protect Yunhui well.”

Lin Zheyu patted Xiaohei, who was hiding behind him, and said.

This little guy had become a bit cowardly since it started following him.

Except during mealtime, when it took the initiative to hunt, it mostly hid behind Lin Zheyu watching the scene.

Chirp chirp——

Xiaohei barked twice, a little puzzled.

Lin Zheyu gestured a few times before it somewhat understood his meaning.

”Mother, will we be in trouble?”

Liang Yunhui asked worriedly, clutching Liang Yuhan’s hand tightly.

The terrifying aura of that beast made her heart involuntarily fill with fear.

Even from such a distance, the python’s cold and vicious aura still left her feeling suffocated.

”No, we won’t.”

Liang Yuhan pulled Liang Yunhui closer, situating her between herself and Lin Zheyu.

During their more than a month of journey together, although she couldn’t discern Lin Zheyu’s true nature, with her talent for judging people, she believed Lin Zheyu wasn’t a bad person.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have joined forces with Lin Zheyu to mutually assist each other.

Moreover, in her speculation, the elusive Zhao Hao, eyeing him, likely possessed a strength superior to her own.

It’s estimated to have reached the Qi Blood Four Transformations level.

In Liang Yuhan’s view, Lin Zheyu’s journey to the Central Plains was to seek the opportunity to break through to the Bone Marrow Refining Realm.

In Bafang City, many martial artists who had reached the Qi Blood Four Transformations found it challenging to breakthrough to the Bone Marrow Refining Realm and would choose to head to the Central Plains in search of breakthrough opportunities.

Liang Yuhan was indeed correct.

Lin Zheyu, in fact, possesses the Qi Blood Four Transformations strength.

However, his trip wasn’t for seeking the breakthrough opportunity to the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, but to find an opportunity to cultivate to Qi Blood Nine Transformations and the Qi Blood Dragon Realm.

Moreover, although Lin Zheyu was merely at the Qi Blood Four Transformations, a single punch from him could directly demolish a martial artist with relatively weak strength in the Bone Marrow Refining Realm.

”They’re coming!”

”What a terrifying giant python.”

”It’s starting to fight, it’s starting to fight.”

Lai Chang, calming the restless cattle and horses, observed the giant python with a spectator’s heart.

If it indeed erupts into conflict, the chaos will be perfect for fishing in troubled waters.

It appeared that Zhao Hao from last night really encountered a cultivation technique problem, just the right moment to test him.

Meanwhile, Lei Chuangcheng, Liu Chengmian, and Yanbo stood nonchalantly beside the carriage, showing no signs of worry.

The four of them wielded considerable strength, all uniformly at the Qi Blood Four Transformations level.

Furthermore, the eight of them were merely insignificant fringe members; if indeed a conflict ensued, Giant Python Village’s elite would primarily target Guangxuan Escort Agency’s people.

After all, all eight wield reasonable strength, carrying on them fairly worthless items, making it not worth the hassle of targeting them.

Hiss~

Hiss hiss~~

One giant python after another appeared in the forest on both sides, emitting hissing sounds.

These giant pythons weren’t particularly strong; the powerful ones were at the forefront, in a standoff with Guangxuan Escort Agency.
