Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Chapter 461: Chapter 180: Eternal Night Slumber

...

The library within the sect is named Celestial Lu Pavilion, located in the central area, where the security is exceptionally tight.

On the way there, Lin Zheyu, due to his unfamiliar face, was subjected to layer upon layer of scrutiny.

Fortunately, Liu Gang, who accompanied him, was well-acquainted with the procedures; he presented Mr. Yang’s token, the token from the beautiful woman at the registration desk, and his new Identity Token, thus they passed smoothly.

Along the way, Liu Gang continuously observed this young man who seemed even younger than him, filled with envy and awe in his heart.

Since he was young, he passed the selection to join Infinite Sect as an Outer Disciple of Bitao Pavilion.

Unfortunately, he later failed to exhibit enough strong potential and martial talent, failing to advance to Inner Sect Disciple, let alone True Disciple.

”This lord is actually Mr. Huang’s intended apprentice!”

”To be exceptionally admitted into Infinite Sect as a True Disciple, his talent must be truly astounding.”

Liu Gang felt intense envy.

He previously thought Lin Zheyu was just an ordinary Inner Sect Disciple.

But surprisingly, at the registration desk, he heard incredible news that this person actually called Lady Wo Xuan his martial aunt and was Mr. Huang’s intended True Disciple!

Inner Sect Disciples and True Disciples receive entirely different treatments.

True Disciples are the core of the sect.

Every True Disciple, barring any untimely death, inevitably grows into a terrifyingly powerful figure.

The two continued forward and arrived in front of Celestial Lu Pavilion.

”Halt, please show your Identity Token!”

Outside Celestial Lu Pavilion, the guarding Infinite Sect disciple stopped them.

He scrutinized Lin Zheyu for a moment, showing a look of suspicion.

Then he suddenly realized, ”I have seen you, you were the one entering the sect with Mr. Yang that day!”

”Indeed.”

”Here is my Identity Token.” Lin Zheyu nodded.

He handed over the Identity Token, the beautiful woman’s token, and Mr. Yang’s token together.

Having just entered the sect and not yet recognized by the disciples within makes things quite cumbersome, requiring the presentation of multiple tokens to enter some important locations.

”So it’s Mr. Lin, alright, you may enter.”

The man checked the tokens and said.

Upon hearing this, Liu Gang couldn’t help but silently complain, ’What Mr. Lin, this lord is not just a regular Inner Sect Disciple, his rank is terrifyingly high, he’s your martial uncle!’

Though he only dared to think this in his heart, not daring to say it out loud.

”Lord, I cannot accompany you into Celestial Lu Pavilion, I’ll wait outside.” Liu Gang said respectfully.

”No need, go about your business.”

Lin Zheyu waved Liu Gang off to leave first.

With that said, he turned and entered Celestial Lu Pavilion.

”Isn’t this the junior brother who just entered the Inner Sect? Why do you refer to him as ’lord’?” The man guarding Celestial Lu Pavilion asked in confusion.

He and Liu Gang had entered the sect three years apart, initially, Liu Gang was his senior brother.

Later, he exhibited strong willpower and remarkable martial talent, successfully advancing to Inner Sect Disciple, surpassing others.

Now, even Liu Gang had to call him senior brother.

In a few more years, when he receives a position upgrade, shedding the regular Inner Sect Disciple status, Liu Gang might even have to call him lord.

”Replying to senior brother, this lord is not a regular Inner Sect Disciple. Just at the registration desk, he called Lady Wo Xuan his martial aunt.” Liu Gang said.

”Martial Aunt!!”

”Ah?!” the man exclaimed.

......

The Celestial Lu Pavilion has a total of four layers, and the cultivation techniques on the first layer can be freely reviewed by any Inner Sect Disciple.

For the second layer’s techniques, Inner Sect Disciples need contributions for exchange.

Only True Disciples have the qualifications to access the third layer.

As for the fourth layer, it is said only Sect Elders and the Sect Leader can enter.

Lin Zheyu, now just a regular Inner Sect Disciple, could only look for cultivation techniques on the first layer.

The Celestial Lu Pavilion’s collection is exceptionally rich, the space is about twice the size of the Lee Family’s library.

There’s a wide range of cultivation techniques inside, a dazzling array.

The first floor is set up as a circular hall, with circular bookshelves forming concentric circles, each filled densely with books.

All the books are made from slightly yellowed paper, looking most worn due to frequent browsing.

Just as Lin Zheyu intended to walk over to search for cultivation techniques, an Infinite Sect disciple stationed inside called him.

Before browsing cultivation techniques, one must first wash their hands to prevent sweat from damaging the books.

Lin Zheyu nodded.

He went to the corner, used prepared clean water to wash, dried his hands with a towel, and then gently pressed them into a basin of a powder resembling white lime to absorb all the moisture.

Ready, he approached the section for cultivation manuals.

There were many readers, all wearing Inner Sect disciple attire, mostly men, with women comprising about thirty percent.

Lin Zheyu observed the arrangement of the cultivation manuals, approaching the shelf of the technique he sought.

Currently, he still resides at Qi Blood Realm level, not the assumed Peak of Marrow Refining Realm by Mr. Yang.

The most needed techniques at the moment are a more efficient Qi Blood Condensing Skill and a powerful Concealing Breath Skill.

Arriving at the Breath Concealment Skills shelf, he swept his gaze over, seeing many familiar technique names.

Almost all were technique names seen at the martial arts exchange fair, in the marketplace.

”No wonder they’re free for Inner Sect Disciples; truly powerful techniques probably require the second floor of Celestial Lu Pavilion.”

Lin Zheyu went through all the Breath Concealment Skills, somewhat disappointed.

He moved to a different section, arriving at the main cultivation technique shelf.

After reviewing all the techniques on the shelf, he felt even more disappointed.

The techniques on the first floor of Celestial Lu Pavilion were all ordinary techniques, purchasable in the Outer Sect with some silver taels.
