Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Chapter 350: Chapter 148: Reward

...

”I almost got wiped out this time...”

Lin Zheyu was still feeling uneasy.

If it weren’t for that strong figure from the Lee Family intervening in time, he might really have fallen to that terrifying expert just now.

”That martial artist from the Tang Family is a bit strange. Although his body technique isn’t particularly advanced, his speed is incredibly fast.”

”And that slash he made, it silently approached, extremely bizarre.”

Lin Zheyu looked at the grotesque wound on his arm, contemplating inwardly.

The wound on his arm had already scabbed over, but it still hurt tremendously. A continuous flow of Qi and blood was aiding the recovery of the injury on his arm.

The bones in his arm were severely damaged; Lin Zheyu felt they were almost split into two.

Currently, his body’s defenses were incredibly strong, but even with the black-silver gloves, he was nearly split into two by the opponent’s slash.

If he hadn’t worn the black-silver gloves, his hand would likely be useless.

That slash gave him an extremely strange feeling.

”Was it the influence of ’intent’ or has that person already entered the Transforming Force stage?”

Lin Zheyu muttered softly.

He would ask Lee Mengqi about this when he had the chance; she might know that martial artist from the Tang Family.

Time slowly passed.

About two hours later.

The door was knocked.

”Mr. Yu, I’m here to deliver soup and medicine for you.”

Outside, Yalan’s voice, as clear as a lark, could be heard.

”Come in.”

Lin Zheyu opened his eyes and said calmly.

The door opened, and a strong herbal aroma hit him.

It wasn’t the usual Blood-Nourishing and Bone-Strengthening Soup Lin Zheyu used, but judging by the scent, the medicinal effect didn’t seem weak.

”Sir, this is the soup you requested.” Yalan placed the soup on the table and said.

”Thank you,” Lin Zheyu replied gratefully.

He picked up the soup, sniffed it carefully, and found nothing wrong with the scent.

To be safe, he used a method from the Poison Canon to test the soup. Only after confirming there were no issues did he consume it.

As the soup entered his stomach, its effect was excellent, spreading a warm current throughout his body.

Even with Lin Zheyu’s current physical strength, he could feel a slight heat.

”Such strong medicinal power!”

”This soup is probably for martial artists at the Bone Marrow Refining Realm; its potency is fierce, and ordinary martial artists at the Qi Blood Realm would find it very difficult to withstand its forceful power.”

Lin Zheyu muttered to himself.

After consuming the soup, the speed at which his Qi and blood condensed increased significantly, the medicinal effect being six or seven times stronger than the Blood-Nourishing and Bone-Strengthening Soup he usually took.

”Mr. Yu, could you please come with me to another room for a medicinal bath?”

”The young lady mentioned that you are tainted with the Soul-Seeking Incense from the Tang Family.”

”Once stained with such a scent, it lingers for a long time, detectable only by special beetles, undetectable by ordinary people.”

”To remove the scent of the Soul-Seeking Incense, if you don’t have the unique powder from the Tang Family, it can be troublesome.”

”You’ll need to soak in a special medicinal liquid, twice a day, and the scent can be removed after two days.”

Finishing the soup, Yalan continued speaking.

”Alright, please thank your young lady for me, she’s very considerate.”

Lin Zheyu nodded and said with a smile.

The Soul-Seeking Incense scent on his body needed to be removed as soon as possible; otherwise, as soon as he left the Lee Family stronghold, he would be targeted by the Tang Family.

By then, no matter how much he changed his appearance, it wouldn’t help.

Following Yalan out of the wooden cabin, Lin Zheyu didn’t see many of the Lee Family members.

Yalan explained that most of them had gone to climb the Celestial Blade Peak to comprehend the blade intent.

Upon arriving at another room, there was a large wooden barrel inside, filled with steaming purple-black medicinal liquid.

The scent was somewhat fishy, quite pungent.

...

...

Time passed quickly, and two days went by.

During these two days, Lin Zheyu stayed within the Lee Family stronghold and did not leave.

Since Lee Mengqi arrived at the Lee Family stronghold, she was nowhere to be seen again; according to Yalan, she had returned to Wuling City.

As for Li Guoyao, Lin Zheyu met him occasionally.

However, most of the time, Li Guoyao simply nodded and smiled at him, engaging in polite, superficial conversations, with seemingly no intention of forming a deeper connection.

Regarding this, Lin Zheyu didn’t have any additional thoughts.

As a powerful martial artist, Li Guoyao showing him a friendly side and being willing to engage in superficial conversations was already quite respectful.

If not for being Lee Mengqi’s savior, he probably wouldn’t have even acknowledged him in passing.

During these two days, Lin Zheyu’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit recovered by seventy to eighty percent.

However, the wound on his arm took longer to heal due to bone damage.

On the surface, it seemed almost healed, but to fully recover, it was estimated to take over a month.

If he used Source Power, it would only take a few breaths to completely heal.

Unfortunately, he had already used up the Fiery Flame Blood-Burning Powder, and it wasn’t convenient to trouble the Lee Family to help him purchase more here.

With the scent of the Soul-Seeking Incense still on his body and unable to leave, he had no choice but to let his arm heal slowly.

After ridding himself of the Soul-Seeking Incense scent and leaving the Lee Family stronghold, he would head to Wuling City to purchase the Fiery Flame Blood-Burning Powder and then use Source Power to accelerate the healing.

During these two days.

He focused on practicing the Turtle Breath Skill.

As his Qi Blood transformed more times, the energy contained within it grew increasingly formidable, and Lin Zheyu felt the Turtle Breath Skill’s concealment effect on his Qi Blood gradually weakening.

Currently, it was no longer possible to perfectly conceal his Qi and blood as before.

Occasionally, a slight overflow of Qi and blood would occur.

When the Qi Blood transforms nine times and he enters the Qi Blood Dragon Realm, the concealment effect is expected to worsen.

But this is easily addressed.

The Turtle Breath Skill had long since reached Perfection, back when his Qi Blood wasn’t this strong, hence the effective concealment.
