Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Chapter 338: Chapter 144: The Will of the Strong

The breeze gently rustled.

In the mountain forest, the temperature was pleasant, without the heat of midsummer.

Lin Zheyu sat cross-legged on a thick tree branch, fully utilizing the Turtle Breath Skill to recover.

In his mind, he silently recited the Purifying Heart Spell, and his spirit was clear and pure.

Using Source Power to enhance the Qianyuan Skill·Modified took a considerable toll on the spirit.

But more so, it was the endless mental anguish from relentless cultivation, bearing astonishing cultivation pain without rest, that cast a huge shadow on his soul.

He must adjust his state well, to break free from the lingering mental pain.

Hiss—hiss hiss—

Under the large tree, Xiaohei waved its claws and roared, diligently practicing the Wild Bull Fist.

Under Lin Zheyu’s coercion, it had to start practicing human martial arts.

Though the effect wasn’t great, it was better than just eating and then sleeping all the time.

The blazing sun was high in the sky.

Lin Zheyu opened his eyes from cultivation.

He exhaled a long breath of stale air, feeling that his spirit had recovered a lot.

”The Purifying Heart Spell truly is extraordinary, if only it included the Visualization Map.”

Lin Zheyu felt a bit regretful in his heart.

Just by reciting the Purifying Heart Spell while operating the Turtle Breath Skill for recovery, he felt his soul become clear and bright.

Dispelling the lingering mental pain.

If there were a Visualization Map with true intent, allowing him to observe the charm of the Furious Vajra, the cultivation effect would surely be even greater.

This Soul Cultivation Skill is used to strengthen the soul and cultivate the will.

It is meant to help a Martial Artist train with the Seven Evils Ghost Canon without succumbing to the corruption of sinister forces, thus losing sanity.

If Lin Zheyu had access to a complete Soul Cultivation Skill, he could cultivate his spirit and soul to be even more resilient and powerful.

By then, the pain brought by using Source Power to enhance cultivation techniques would be nothing to him.

Unfortunately.

He didn’t have it.

The cultivation technique given by Liang Song lacked the true intent in the Visualization Map, devoid of its charm, with only the Purifying Heart Spell of some use.

He jumped down from the tree.

Xiaohei had already run out of sight.

When mealtime came, this little guy didn’t need Lin Zheyu’s prompting and was more proactive than anyone, going early to hunt fierce beasts.

From his bag, he took out Fiery Flame Blood-Burning Powder, poured it into a wooden basin, mixed it with the leftover herbs from the morning, and stirred it well.

”This morning’s batch of Fiery Flame Blood-Burning Powder probably still has more than half of its potency left.”

”I wonder if these remaining herbs are enough to raise my strength to the level of Qi Blood Seven Transformations.”

Lin Zheyu pondered secretly.

At the Qi Blood Realm level, each three optimal changes mark a threshold, and after crossing this threshold, one’s strength undergoes a terrifying leap.

If he were to face that expert from the Tang Family again now, he could presumably kill him outright without using the Blood Boiling Secret Skill.

Though it wouldn’t be as clean and swift as using the Blood Boiling Secret Skill.

Lin Zheyu felt that after reaching the Qi Blood Six Transformations, his strength increased by about twofold.

But this was only temporary. Over time, even if his realm didn’t advance, his strength would continue to grow stronger.

The power of Qi Blood Six Transformations lay in the enhancement of the physique.

It’s called the Qi Blood Melting Furnace Realm because the Qi Blood burns fiercely, continuously tempering and strengthening the physique.

Lin Zheyu had just advanced to the Qi Blood Realm, and his physique was still rapidly transforming.

As time went on, as his physique evolved stronger, his overall strength would also rise swiftly.

This is why geniuses vastly outperform ordinary martial artists, able to fight across levels.

”Hoo...”

”Let’s begin!”

Lin Zheyu took a deep breath and, preparing to endure the ceaseless cultivation pain, slowly closed his eyes, sending out the thought:

’Use one unit of Source Power to enhance Qianyuan Skill·Modified.’

In an instant, a vast and mysterious energy surged from the depths of his cells...

...

...

In Wuling City.

The dim yellow sunlight spilled over, dyeing the ground golden.

The sun was about to set, and the evening temperature had cooled considerably, with many more people out strolling on the street.

Jade Tea House.

”Mom, Mr. Zhao hasn’t returned yet. Could something have happened to him?” Liang Yunhui said, somewhat worried.

They had been waiting in the tea house all day.

Lin Zheyu had once promised them that after rescuing Xiaohei, he would meet them at Jade Tea House two days later.

But Liang Yunhui and her mother had been waiting in the tea house for a day, and Lin Zheyu still hadn’t shown up.

Liang Yuhan shook her head slightly and said nothing.

She gestured for silence, carefully listening to the conversation from the neighboring table.

...

”Recently, the Tang Family has been acting crazy, searching all over Celestial Blade Peak and Wuling City.

”Damn, I’ve been questioned three times for no reason.” A man grumbled.

”Do you want to die? Keep it down. If the Tang Family hears, watch out for getting skinned.” The man’s companion warned in a low voice.

”What’s to fear? The Tang Family only has some power in Wuling City. Worst-case scenario, I’ll move to another city, I have no ties here.” The man scoffed dismissively.

”I do know the reason why.”

”Let me tell you, but don’t spread it around.”

The man to his left said mysteriously, ”You’ve heard about the three young masters from the Tang Family, Lu Family, and Ji Family hunting the Ink Fox near Celestial Blade Peak, right?”

”Does it have to do with that Ink Fox?” Asked the man.

”Of course.”

”That Ink Fox is owned, and its owner has returned.”

”I was there, and that person’s strength was terrifying, especially his Lightweight Skill, it was simply divine. Facing many Bone Marrow Refining Realm experts, it was like he was in a land with no people...”
