Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Chapter 326: Chapter 140: Simple and Direct

The moonlight is like a wash.

The silver-white moonlight spills down, reflecting Lin Zheyu’s somewhat fierce expression.

Just like when he enhanced the Hundred Refinements Treasure Canon back then.

Even more so.

In the consciousness space, as the power of Qi Blood flowed through the major acupoints, the potential within Lin Zheyu’s body was being stimulated.

The acupoints of a person contain all sorts of wondrous mysteries.

However, such mysteries are difficult to explore for ordinary people.

Even Martial Artists of the Bone Marrow Refining Realm find it hard to touch.

Only after gathering true strength can one use it to open up the meridians, breaking through the acupoints, and thereby fully unlocking the various Divine Treasures within the body.

Qi Blood is a fusion of Essence, Qi, and Blood, refined under the mingling of Spirit, and due to its characteristics, it is not restricted by meridians.

Qi Blood can circulate throughout the body along the vast network of blood vessels.

Without the need to open up meridians or break through acupoints, it can flow through the major meridians via the network of blood vessels.

However, compared to using true strength to break through acupoints, using Qi Blood to flow through the body’s acupoints is just a crude method of utilizing acupoints.

And it has significant side effects.

Without the aid of a Heart Method and secret medicines, ordinary Martial Artists would cause severe injuries to their bodies every time they cultivate.

The Blood Boiling Secret Skill and Reversed Chaos Forbidden Skill, these Cultivation Techniques used only in desperate situations, harness the energy produced from burning Essence, Qi, and Spirit to protect the body’s acupoints, preventing severe bodily injuries.

But the price is the exhaustion of Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

This time, Lin Zheyu adopted the method of stimulating potential from the Blood Boiling Secret Skill and Reversed Chaos Forbidden Skill.

Because the part involving the burning of Essence, Qi, and Spirit was omitted, the integrated Cultivation Technique seemed somewhat unclassifiable.

Though rough, and frequent problems arose.

But, with some trial and error, it managed to function.

The price was that the pain during cultivation elevated to a higher level, similar to the pain endured when cultivating the Hundred Refinements Treasure Canon.

After a few breaths.

Lin Zheyu opened his eyes, with bloodshot eyes.

”Hiss——”

”Ever since promoting the Hundred Refinements Treasure Canon to Perfection level, I haven’t experienced such terrifying pain.”

Lin Zheyu took a deep breath, feeling the lingering echoes of pain in his spirit, which could not be dispelled.

After resting for a few minutes, he felt somewhat better.

Fortunately, this pain affected only the body, causing severe spiritual depletion, but it remained within bearable limits.

[Heavenly Dao rewards diligence]

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 60

Skills:

Blood Boiling Secret Skill (Perfection)

Reversed Chaos Forbidden Skill (Perfection)

Qianyuan Skill·Modified (Perfection)

Golden Swan Skill (Tenth Layer 100%)

Spiritual Mysterious Body Skill (Fifth Layer 100%)

Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness, and as expected, the Qianyuan Skill·Modified had already been elevated to the Perfection level.

Despite the frequent troubles and significant side effects during cultivation, one has to endure terrifying pain.

But, thanks to the characteristics of Source Power, cultivation is still possible.

This also counts as a Cultivation Technique.

”The method of improvement is too simple and crude. With my current Martial Arts Realm, experience, and knowledge, this is the best I can do.”

Lin Zheyu said to himself.

He closed his eyes, feeling the flow of Qi Blood within his body.

Compared to just now, the Qi Blood had grown much stronger, only a hair’s breadth away from undergoing a qualitative change.

”Just a little more, and I can break through to Qi Blood Five Transformations.”

”Almost there, just a step away.”

”In other words, with one unit of Source Power, about one-third of the remaining process has been completed.”

”If I had used Source Power to enhance Qianyuan Skill·Modified from the start, only three units would have been needed.”

”Its effect is double that of the Blood Boiling Secret Skill, and the efficiency is almost tripled compared to before the improvement.”

Lin Zheyu measured the intensity of his Qi Blood.

He felt the Qi Blood within his body was immensely powerful, as if it roared thunderously as it flowed.

Lin Zheyu had a vague feeling that once the Qi Blood grew stronger, a quantitative change would bring about a qualitative transformation, reaching the level of Qi Blood Five Transformations.

”I can’t continue to improve; I need to rest for a bit.”

Lin Zheyu muttered.

Even though he had some residual energy mentally, the pain was truly terrifying.

Ceaseless cultivation, ceaselessly enduring endless pain, unable to stop, unable to give up, could only keep cultivating and silently endure.

That feeling was akin to enduring torture in an inescapable hell.

Using too much Source Power to enhance in a short time, continuously plunging his spirit into boundless pain, Lin Zheyu felt his mind could become troubled.

He looked at the basin reflecting the bright moonlight.

It still emitted a rich medicinal fragrance.

The Qi Blood within his body had also recovered to its peak.

”The efficacy of this Fiery Flame Blood-Burning Powder is much stronger than what the shopkeeper at Jishi Hall mentioned.”

”To enhance from Qi Blood Four Transformations to Qi Blood Five Transformations, the Source Power required is definitely more than ten doses of Dust-Free Blood Coagulation Powder.”

”There’s still plenty of medicinal potency left in the herbs in the basin.”

Lin Zheyu sniffed the medicinal aroma emanating from the basin, feeling very satisfied with the Fiery Flame Blood-Burning Powder.

Even though one dose costs as much as five hundred taels of silver, it’s uncertain if ordinary Martial Artists of the Bone Marrow Refining Realm would be willing to purchase it.

But the effects were undoubtedly solid.

”Go for a walk, clear my mind, and continue enhancing in half an hour.”

”Though it is painful, by increasing the time intervals, and enhancing three times in the morning, noon, and evening, using three units of Source Power a day should pose no problem.”

Lin Zheyu contemplated.

...

...

The next morning.

After cultivating Turtle Breath Skill all night, Lin Zheyu’s spirit had recovered well.

He got up early and practiced a round of Wild Bull Fist.
