Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Chapter 397: Chapter 162: Blood-Red Dragon (Part 2)

”This Secret Technique has a concealing breath effect that is unmatched by other Breath Concealment Skills.”

”After the Nine Revolutions Seal, even a Grandmaster Martial Artist cannot sense the powerful life essence, essence, and Qi that are sealed away.”

”However, it also has a significant side effect; it cannot be used many times in one’s lifetime.”

”Each time the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill is used, sealing away the peak life essence, essence, and Qi, it causes massive damage to the foundation.”

”Generally, Martial Artists only resort to this Secret Technique when feeling their life is declining, and their family has no successors, to lock in their peak state.”

The man explained in detail.

Lin Zheyu listened to the introduction and compared it to the Cultivation Technique manual summary; his eyes grew brighter.

This Secret Technique isn’t a True Skill; it can’t be cultivated to attain the true meaning like the Turtle Breath True Skill.

But its effect is astonishing.

If it truly can lock in the peak state of life essence, essence, and Qi, as the technique describes, he wouldn’t have to worry about his Qi Blood breaking through the Qi Blood Dragon Realm being discovered.

As for the side effects, Lin Zheyu wasn’t overly concerned.

With the existence of Source Power, even if the foundation is damaged, with enough energy replenishment, he can return to peak status upon exiting the consciousness space.

”It indirectly conceals the breath effect, yet the side effect is excessively strong.”

”Every time it locks the life essence, essence, and Qi, then unseals the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill, it causes massive wear to the body, damaging the foundation.”

”Never mind, let’s buy it as a backup option.”

Lin Zheyu softly muttered, feigning a slightly disappointed look.

He glanced at the stall owner and casually asked, ”What’s the price for this technique?”

”Friend, you have a keen eye. This technique can be used to keep the peak battle state as Martial Artists weaken with age.”

”This Secret Technique is extremely valuable. I’ll give you a deal; it’s fifty thousand silver taels.”

The stall owner said with a bright smile and enthusiasm.

”Too expensive.”

”But it only maintains battle power for one fight, and after the combat, the person is practically useless.”

”Ten thousand silver taels, if you’re willing, I’ll buy it. If not, never mind; I’ll look for a suitable Breath Concealment Skill elsewhere.”

Lin Zheyu shook his head and said.

”Friend, your bargaining is ruthless.”

”This rare Secret Technique isn’t easy to come by; if you miss this chance, it will be difficult to buy later.”

”Plus, even if not cultivated, it holds high reference value.”

The stall owner showed a difficult expression, observing Lin Zheyu’s reaction while speaking.

Seeing Lin Zheyu indifferent and about to leave with disappointment, he bit his tongue and said, ”Twenty thousand, no less, any less would break the rules.”

”Alright.”

Seeing as the other seemed genuinely unwilling to sell, Lin Zheyu nodded in agreement.

Twenty thousand silver taels, much less than his initial budget of silver.

After paying the silver and confirming the manual was correct, he turned to leave.

Finding this Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Not only was its effect stronger than those Breath Concealment True Skills, but importantly, the price was very reasonable.

Purchasing two technique manuals cost just over twenty thousand silver taels, which he hadn’t anticipated.

Initially worried about not having enough silver.

Unexpectedly, he still had over forty thousand silver taels left.

”The sky is getting dark; let’s head back first.”

”This Martial Dao exchange will last a full fifteen days, no need to rush.”

”In the coming days, I’ll take some time to browse the market and see if I can find more interesting technique manuals.”

Lin Zheyu mused quietly.

The newly acquired two techniques were enough to cultivate for a while.

Once mastering the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill, he can continue enhancing Qi Blood, increasing the number of Qi Blood Transformations.

When leaving the market, Lin Zheyu casually purchased six sets of Fiery Flame Blood-Burning Powder materials.

The Essence Qi Elixir he used left him with only 31 pills.

Now, with the opportunity to use Fiery Flame Blood-Burning Powder, a cost-effective resource, he decided not to keep using Essence Qi Elixir for enhancement.

Returning home, Lee Mengxi and the others hadn’t returned.

Lee Yanming was also still absent.

Lin Zheyu filled a basin with water and entered the room.

He took out the Fiery Flame Blood-Burning Powder, rubbed it between his hands into powder, and scattered it into the water basin.

”Though the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill is challenging to cultivate, the main difficulty lies in controlling the body, essence, qi, and spirit.”

”As for me, the problem is minor; it likely won’t require more than two units of Source Power.”

”Let’s first use one unit of Source Power to enhance it.”

Lin Zheyu spoke to himself.

Taking out the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill manual, memorizing its contents, he closed his eyes, sent out his thoughts.

’Use one unit of Source Power to enhance the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill.’

In that instant, an immense, mysterious energy surged from the depths of his cells, purifying his being.

After cultivation of the Turtle Breath True Skill, Lin Zheyu’s body had transformed and improved; what needed improvement wasn’t much.

His spirit faltered, entering consciousness space, and began endless cultivation.

The Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill emphasizes control over the body, essence, qi, and spirit.

Lin Zheyu’s mastery over the body, essence, qi, and spirit is stronger than many Transforming Force Martial Artists.

In the training time with one unit of Source Power, he fully mastered the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill in less than half the time.

The rest was spent continuously applying and unsealing the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill, repeatedly cycling.

The Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill is termed ”Nine Revolutions” because this technique essentially possesses nine levels.

With each additional level, the amount of life essence, essence, and Qi locked increases.

If increased to nine revolutions, nearly all life essence, essence, and Qi would be firmly locked.
