Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Chapter 460: Chapter 179: Entry-Level Part 3

Mr. Yang speculates, probably under fifty.

He didn’t continue to dwell on the age issue and asked further: ”Have you ever betrayed your sect?”

”Never.”

”Have you ever done anything cruel, repaying good with evil, causing harm unjustly, or committed heinous crimes?”

”Never.”

”When you stepped forward to save Lee Mengqi of the Lee family, were you instructed by anyone, and what was your purpose?”

Mr. Yang continued to ask.

Obviously, they had investigated Lin Zheyu’s deeds very thoroughly.

”I wasn’t instructed by anyone.”

”Saving Lee Mengqi, the disciple indeed had ulterior motives.”

”Martial arts resources are controlled and monopolized by the noble families and sects. The disciple heard of Lee Mengqi’s background in the Lee family and wanted to connect with the noble family’s circle through her to obtain further cultivation techniques.”

Lin Zheyu said.

He indeed thought this way at that time.

”Why not join other sects?” Mr. Yang asked curiously.

”Because I haven’t found a suitable one yet, I originally planned to go to Wu’an City to participate in the assessment when Bull Demon Sect recruits disciples.”

Lin Zheyu explained.

’Luckily, you didn’t go; otherwise, this time that stupid cow would have benefited.’ Mr. Yang muttered quietly upon hearing this.

He nodded, satisfied.

So far, Lin Zheyu’s answers matched his judgment of Lin Zheyu’s character.

”Twice, you ran into conflicts with the Pei and Tang families due to your Ink Fox, putting yourself in danger. Tell me your considerations at the time.”

Mr. Yang continued to ask.

”That Ink Fox is called Xiaohei. It was brought by the disciple from my hometown...”

”...”

Time slowly passed, and Mr. Yang asked many questions.

In front of the ancestral statue, Lin Zheyu was influenced by that mysterious power and couldn’t make answers that go against facts or his heart.

”Not bad.”

”You passed the Heart Inquiry Pass.”

”As long as you sign this contract, you will be an entry disciple of the Infinite Sect.” Mr. Yang said with a smile.

He was very satisfied with Lin Zheyu’s answers during the Heart Inquiry Pass.

Lin Zheyu was indeed a person of integrity and had no connections with opposing forces or those lurking in the darkness of Great Wei.

Lin Zheyu picked up the parchment. No one knew what kind of skin it was made of. It felt nice, softer and more delicate than silk.

It recorded the content of the contract in the official language of Great Wei.

The constraints weren’t much, mainly restricting disciples from betraying the sect, fighting against fellow disciples, leaking sect secrets, cultivation techniques, etc.

”Good.”

”But how do I sign this?” Lin Zheyu asked.

”Just drop a drop of fresh blood on it.” Mr. Yang said, handing over a dagger.

Taking the dagger, he forcefully made a small cut on his index finger and let the blood drip onto the parchment contract.

In an instant, Lin Zheyu felt a shake in his spirit, as a mysterious force surged into his body and vanished.

”It’s done.”

”Do you have any other questions?” Mr. Yang collected the contract and asked with a smile.

”Yes, the disciple has some questions.”

”The Heart Inquiry just now and this contract, they don’t seem to belong to the realm of martial arts, right?” Lin Zheyu asked his doubts.

”Indeed, they don’t.”

”This world has immortals. Surely, you have had suspicions before?” Mr. Yang said with a smile.

Lin Zheyu nodded heavily.

Secret cultivation techniques, demons, living corpses, and the array nurturing living corpses in the secret chamber of Dabashan all indicate the extraordinary nature of this world.

Yet, so far, he hasn’t encountered the legendary cultivators.

”The Heart Inquiry just now and the signed contract involved celestial means.”

”Right now, your strength makes it too early to touch upon these secrets. When you step into the Grandmaster Realm someday, you will be able to grasp the hidden truths of this world.”

Mr. Yang said with a smile.

Disregarding Lin Zheyu’s eager-to-know gaze, he waved his hand and summoned a disciple of Infinite Sect.

”Liu Gang, take Lin Zheyu for registration.” Mr. Yang said.

He handed the written letter to Lin Zheyu and waved them off.

Lin Zheyu: ”...”

Lin Zheyu felt a bit speechless holding the letter, wondering why these people always liked to speak in halves.

”Mr. Lin, this way, please.”

Liu Gang said respectfully.

He was an Outer Disciple and had to address all Inner Sect Disciples as ’Senior Brother’ and call those big figures ’Sir.’

”Alright.”

Lin Zheyu nodded and followed him to Guangming Hall, which was responsible for registering sect disciples.

Outside Guangming Hall, there were sect disciples guarding.

Lin Zheyu handed over the letter, and after verification, he entered the hall.

”Senior Brother, please wait here for a moment. I will go ask who’s on duty today.” Liu Gang said.

After about ten minutes, he came back running and led Lin Zheyu into a side hall.

Inside the hall, a middle-aged woman sat behind a desk; despite some traces of time, she still carried herself gracefully.

”Sir, this Senior Brother is an Inner Sect Disciple recruited by Mr. Yang, and I’m here to register him.” Liu Gang said respectfully.

The beautiful woman was intrigued upon hearing this, and she looked at Lin Zheyu with curiosity.

She’d heard that the Infinite Sect had recruited a talented martial artist. Seeing him for the first time today, she didn’t expect him to be so young.

”Senior, here is the letter from Mr. Yang.”

Lin Zheyu stepped forward and handed the letter from Mr. Yang.

”Don’t call me senior; you haven’t formally apprenticed yet, but you are currently under Bai Zhong, our Senior Brother. You should call me Aunt.” The beautiful woman looked up at Lin Zheyu and said with a smile.

”Yes, greetings, Aunt.” Lin Zheyu immediately changed how he addressed her.

”Lin Zheyu, aged fifty, from Northern Beirong City, martial artist at the Peak of Marrow Refining Realm, has comprehended Tyrannical True Intent...”

”Hmm, interesting.”

The beautiful woman murmured with a smile as she read the letter.

Lin Zheyu was a bit surprised upon hearing her murmur.

He didn’t expect Mr. Yang to record his previous falsely reported details into the archives, although the age was written smaller, as fifty years old.

”Young man, how do you keep your appearance so well maintained? Give me the method, and you’ll be well rewarded.” The beautiful woman said with a smile.

Even powerful martial artists, women are still very concerned about their appearance.

”This is natural; the disciple does not know any methods to maintain appearance.” Lin Zheyu shook his head.

”Then forget it.”

”This is your identity token.”

”On the first of every month is the sect assembly day, remember to attend next month’s first assembly.”

”Your status as an Inner Sect Disciple will be announced to all disciples within the sect on that day, and your duties will also be arranged then.” The beautiful woman tossed over an identity token.

”Yes, thank you, Aunt.”

”May I ask if I can now enter the sect’s library to borrow cultivation technique texts?” Lin Zheyu asked eagerly.

Originally, he planned to visit the black market with Huang Youwei to see if he could find a suitable Concealing Breath Skill.

Unexpectedly, before that could happen, Mr. Yang arranged for him to become an Inner Sect Disciple.

As for formally apprenticing, it would have to wait for Huang Baizhong to return.

”Of course you can.”

”But you currently have no contribution points, so you can only borrow some cultivation technique texts.”

”Once you officially become a disciple of our senior brother, even without contribution points, you can access most cultivation technique texts.”

”By the way, Bai Zhong hasn’t returned yet, but you can first go to the library to borrow the Infinite Jade Waves True Skill cultivation techniques for the Transforming Force Realm and start practicing.”

”When Bai Zhong returns, then you will be taught the complete true skill.” The beautiful woman said.

”Yes, the disciple understands.”

”Thank you, Aunt, for your guidance. The disciple shall take his leave.” Lin Zheyu bowed and took his leave from the registration office.

The beautiful woman watched Lin Zheyu’s retreating figure with a curious expression on her face: ”Seems like a promising young man.”

”Being favored by both Mr. Yang and Senior Brother Bai Zhong, his aptitude and talent must be extraordinary.”

”I just wonder how he compares to the genius disciple from the War God Sect’s Wuling City branch.”
