Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Chapter 398: Chapter 162: Blood-colored Dragon (Part 3)

Even the powerful physique cultivated will be influenced, the effect is extremely formidable.

After a few breaths, Lin Zheyu slowly opened his eyes.

A look of admiration appeared in his eyes.

[Heavenly Dao Rewards the Diligent]

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 44

Skills:

Purple Thunder Blood Coagulation Skill (Perfection)

Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill (Perfection)

Turtle Breath True Skill (Sixth Layer 0%)

Golden Swan Skill (Tenth Layer 100%)

Purple Thunder Tyrant Fist (Seventh Layer 100%)

Spiritual Mysterious Body Skill (Fifth Layer 100%)

”Such a magical effect, even the powerful physique cultivated will be influenced by the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill.”

Lin Zheyu was astonished.

This secret technique, through special means, firmly locks and preserves life vitality, essence, and blood energy.

Not only can qi and blood not be utilized, but even the powerful physique cultivated is greatly impacted.

In the consciousness space, when circulating to the ninth revolution, his physique strength dropped to about half of its original level.

”Let’s see how the effect works.”

Lin Zheyu spoke to himself, unable to resist trying the magical effects of the cultivation technique in reality.

Exhaling deeply, as the cultivation technique operated, the vast qi and blood energy in his body, the life vitality in his cells, and essence were continuously extracted.

Then locked within the acupoints all over his body.

Lin Zheyu could feel his body becoming weak at an astonishing speed.

This weakness was different from operating Turtle Breath True Skill; it was genuine weakness, whereas Turtle Breath True Skill was merely a facade with almost no impact on strength.

After a few breaths.

Lin Zheyu did not operate Turtle Breath True Skill, but the aura on his body was extremely faint, like a normal person, with no trace of qi and blood aura emitted.

”The locked energy can’t be utilized.”

”If the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill is not released, my body will remain in this weak state.”

Lin Zheyu assessed his own condition, extremely satisfied with this cultivation technique.

With this technique that locks powerful energy, and combined with Turtle Breath True Skill, even a Grandmaster-level expert might not see through his reality.

”This cultivation technique is interesting.”

”As the cultivation technique operates and locks the body’s energy, the body seems to truly lose that much energy.”

”Even if essence qi elixir is supplemented, the body cannot restore the lost portion.”

”It can only be slowly cultivated back through training.”

Lin Zheyu swallowed an essence qi elixir, saying with some surprise.

The bodily energy locked by the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill was truly completely severed, and the body permanently lost that energy.

The lost portion cannot be recovered through tonics or essence qi elixirs.

It must be cultivated back slowly according to a Martial Artist’s method.

This characteristic, even relying on the formidable effect of Source Power, has no effect alike.

When training in the consciousness space, every time Lin Zheyu operated the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill to lock the bodily energy, the consciousness space couldn’t help the body recover either.

Only when the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill is released does that portion of energy return to the body.

The powerful recovery effect of the consciousness space then begins to take effect, quickly restoring the damage and consumption of the foundation brought by using the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill.

”Interesting~”

”If all energy were locked by the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill, and then the locked energy cultivated back.

”After cultivating back, if the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill is released, what effect would be produced?”

”Would it become stronger?”

Lin Zheyu fantasized wildly.

Other Martial Artists cannot achieve this method, only he can try it with the help of Source Power.

”Could it thereby break the shackles of total qi and blood?”

Lin Zheyu murmured, his eyes exceptionally bright.

Today, while wandering the market, he saw a magical secret technique that could increase the total amount of qi and blood.

That secret technique was frightfully expensive.

The vendor initially quoted one million silver taels, even if bargaining, with Lin Zheyu’s bargaining ability, reducing it to five hundred thousand was the limit.

Even if it is a true skill, only true skills written by Grandmaster-level experts can sell for such a price.

This shows the preciousness of such a secret technique.

The Qi Blood Realm stage is when a Martial Artist lays their foundation.

The number of Qi Blood transformations, the total amount, and the body’s strength all affect the bone structure and potential transformed in the Bone Marrow Cultivation realm.

It also impacts the total amount and strength of true power after advancing to the Transforming Force.

It even affects advancement to the Grandmaster and Innate stages.

It can be said that the Qi Blood Realm is crucially important.

This is the knowledge Lin Zheyu learned while chatting with the Lee siblings, Lee Mengqi and Lee Mengxi, at the Lee Mansion.

Through their siblings, Lin Zheyu gained a deeper understanding of the Martial Arts Realm beyond the Bone Marrow Refining Realm.

According to Lee Mengxi, many Martial Artists, when unable to further increase the number of Qi Blood transformations, turn to increasing the total amount of Qi Blood.

Increasing the total amount of Qi Blood is also a way to solidify the martial arts foundation and enhance the Martial Artist’s potential and bone structure.

Both Lee Mengxi and Lee Mengqi have practiced related secret techniques.

This secret technique is an undisclosed secret of the Lee family, and although Lin Zheyu was curious, he could not borrow it to see.

Now, with the appearance of the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill, he sees a glimmer of hope to increase the total amount of Qi Blood.

”Whether it works or not will be verified shortly.”

Lin Zheyu took a deep breath and immersed his hand into a basin of water mixed with Fiery Flame Blood-Burning Powder.

He did not unlock the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill and planned to practice the Purple Thunder Blood Coagulation Skill directly in this state.

Although the vast Qi Blood within his body was locked, his Qi Blood essence was still at the Eight Transformations, close to the Nine Transformations level.

However, the quantity of Qi Blood had permanently decreased, leaving only a few wisps dissipating within his body.

Due to the dispersion, the strength of the Qi Blood at the Eight Transformations level and the energy became extremely thin.

In this state, Lin Zheyu’s practice was essentially retracing the path from the Refining Internal Organ Realm to the Qi Blood Gauze Realm level.

With the efficient Qi Blood condensing effect of the Purple Thunder Blood Coagulation Skill, it’s estimated he could practice back with less than two units of Source Power.

’Use five units of Source Power to practice the Purple Thunder Blood Coagulation Skill.’

The thought transmitted out, and Lin Zheyu fell into a familiar state of cultivation.

The medicinal power of the six portions of Fiery Flame Blood-Burning Powder soaking in the basin surged into his body under the guidance of mysterious energy.

Locked by the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill, the weak body began to gather strands of Qi Blood strength.

These strands of Qi Blood, once gathered, had the quality of the Eight Transformations of Qi and Blood.

Soon, the total amount of Qi Blood reached its limit, and a layer of Qi Blood gauze formed beneath the surface of his skin.

After practicing the Qi Blood back, it still didn’t stop.

The Qi Blood, already close to the Nine Transformations level, constantly purified under the mysterious energy’s effects.

The energy contained within grew increasingly terrifying.

Roar~~~~

Vaguely, the powerful Qi Blood strength seemed to transform into a Qi Blood Dragon, rampaging wildly within his body.

Even Lin Zheyu’s body exuded a faint bloody aura.

This bloody aura resonated with the surging Qi Blood power within him, manifesting as a blood-colored dragon roaring around him.

The scene was extremely astonishing.

The incredibly powerful Qi Blood energy permeated through the room, emitting a faint bloody aura.

Fortunately, nobody was in the courtyard right now since everyone went out on the first day of the martial arts exchange conference, otherwise, such powerful Qi Blood energy would have certainly been perceived by others.

A few breaths later.

Lin Zheyu slowly opened his eyes, revealing a hint of crimson in his gaze.

This was caused by the inadvertent spillage of Qi Blood energy once it reached an incredibly terrifying level.

Feeling the leakage of Qi Blood energy, Lin Zheyu was startled and quickly employed the Turtle Breath True Skill to retrieve the spilled Qi Blood energy.

The blood-colored dragon encompassing him faded and vanished without a trace with the fluctuation of Qi Blood.

”Fortunately, no one else is in the courtyard now, otherwise such powerful Qi Blood fluctuations would definitely be noticed by others.”

Lin Zheyu said to himself.

He specifically checked that no one was around the courtyard before enhancing his power.

This was to prevent the uncontrollable power of the Qi Blood after advancing to the Qi Blood Dragon Realm from causing unnecessary incidents.

”The name Qi Blood Dragon Realm is truly fitting.”

”Upon advancing to the Qi Blood Dragon Realm, the energy within the Qi Blood becomes so potent it spontaneously forms into a mythical dragon-like shape.”

Lin Zheyu marveled at the immensely powerful Qi Blood within his body.

He controlled the strands of Qi Blood, letting the bloody aura seep from his body.

If he did not actively control it, the bloody aura would spontaneously condense into a blood-colored dragon form around him.
