Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Chapter 463: Chapter 180: Eternal Night Slumber (Part 3)

Using various powerful secret medicines to forcibly alter one’s constitution will damage a Martial Artist’s physical foundation and bring terrible side effects.

It not only causes the Martial Artist’s strength to decrease but also shortens their lifespan.

Using the Eternal Night Sleep Secret Skill to achieve an extended lifespan effect through a form of suspended animation is indeed powerful.

But compared to the decrease in lifespan and strength due to cultivation techniques, it’s somewhat not worth the trade-off.

This is a completely obsolete cultivation technique.

”Truly a superb cultivation technique!”

”If cultivated using Source Power, it should be able to retain the constitution’s characteristics while recovering damage caused by cultivation.”

Lin Zheyu pondered to himself.

This cultivation technique is not something ordinary Martial Artists can practice, but he is different.

With Source Power, he can disregard any bodily damage caused by cultivation techniques.

The cultivation techniques on the first floor can be borrowed.

However, Lin Zheyu didn’t want anyone to know that he had borrowed this cultivation technique.

Such techniques with significant side effects or incompleteness are rarely borrowed; people generally read and comprehend them in place to understand the cultivation technique’s ideas and methods.

If borrowed, it would be too conspicuous.

Lin Zheyu spent about two hours memorizing the Eternal Night Sleep Secret Skill.

As his strength increased, his memory became much stronger; memorizing martial arts cultivation techniques no longer felt as difficult as before.

Upon leaving the Celestial Lu Pavilion, Lin Zheyu also borrowed the pre-Transforming Force cultivation manual of the Infinite Jade Waves True Skill.

This technique is the main cultivation skill of the Bitao Pavilion.

Once out of the Celestial Lu Pavilion, the sky was already dim.

Lin Zheyu returned to his residence to fetch some silver taels and left the sect, heading straight for the medicine shops in Wuling City.

The sect also has places to buy medicinal materials, but the materials needed for cultivating the Eternal Night Sleep Secret Skill are relatively rare.

Such materials are only used when cultivating certain special techniques or refining poisons.

Lin Zheyu didn’t want people to know that he could cultivate such a side-effect-laden technique, so he could only purchase them outside the sect.

The medicinal materials required for the Eternal Night Sleep Secret Skill are extremely hard to find.

Lin Zheyu visited all the major medicine shops in the city but couldn’t buy everything he needed until he finally found the remaining few herbs on the black market.

Nanming Street.

Yuanlai Inn.

Lin Zheyu, carrying a large bundle of medicinal materials, entered the inn and booked an upper room.

He planned to cultivate and enhance his skills directly outside the sect, not wanting to bring the cultivation materials for the Eternal Night Sleep Secret Skill into the sect.

Bringing so many materials into the sect would be too conspicuous.

Once in the room, it wasn’t long before a waiter came in according to Lin Zheyu’s instructions, bringing two basins of clear water.

”I hope everything goes smoothly and that Source Power can both retain the constitution created from cultivating the Eternal Night Sleep Secret Skill and repair the damage caused during cultivation.”

”Otherwise, all these materials would go to waste.” Lin Zheyu muttered quietly to himself.

He had purchased all the materials needed for cultivating this secret skill, spending a total of 230,000 silver taels.

The price was frightening.

He felt a bit of heartache when buying them.

He took out the medicinal materials from the package, based on internal and external applications, and crushed the herbs into powder, pouring them into two separate basins of water.

Just a third of the materials turned the water in the basins into a thick, sticky paste.

The rich fragrance of medicine filled the entire room.

”Let’s start like this, first try the effect with one unit of Source Power.” Lin Zheyu said to himself.

The difficulty of cultivating the Eternal Night Sleep Secret Skill is very high, requiring a strong control over one’s body.

Achieving Great Success in this secret skill requires nearly ten years.

The main reason it takes so long is that cultivating this technique brings significant harm to the body.

It requires enough time for the body to recover.

But even so, the side effects remain frighteningly large.

If Lin Zheyu enhances it using Source Power, leveraging the powerful recovery ability within the consciousness space, he can directly skip the recovery time.

The cultivation time will be greatly reduced.

”Enhancing with Source Power, continuously cultivating in the consciousness space, it’s estimated that only two units of Source Power would be needed to cultivate the Eternal Night Sleep Secret Skill to Perfection.”

”In that case, a third of the materials would be insufficient.”

Lin Zheyu pondered for a moment, called the waiter, and replaced the basins with larger ones.

If it weren’t for the limited range of Source Power’s effect around him, he would have considered using a bathtub directly.

Upon his request, the waiter brought two large wooden barrels used for leftovers, three to four times bigger than the original basins.

Lin Zheyu thought for a moment and simply poured all the remaining materials into them.

He then took out ten doses of Fiery Flame Blood-Burning Powder, five doses for each barrel.

Fiery Flame Blood-Burning Powder is used to provide the energy needed for altering the body.

”Let’s begin!”

Once ready, Lin Zheyu plunged his hands into the thick barrels, closed his eyes, and sent out his intention.

’Use two units of Source Power, cultivate the Eternal Night Sleep Secret Skill.’

In an instant, Lin Zheyu’s spirit became momentarily disoriented, transported to the mysterious consciousness space.

This time, within the consciousness space as he envisioned, appeared the herbal bathing barrels and internal secret medicines needed for cultivating the Eternal Night Sleep Secret Skill.

Lin Zheyu began the endless cycle of cultivation.

He consumed the secret medicine, soaked in the herbal bath barrel, circulated his Qi Blood, and followed the cultivation method of the Eternal Night Sleep Secret Skill, circulating within his body.

Each time he cultivated, he left the herbal bath barrel, and the significant side effects generated during cultivation would instantly recover to their original state under the unique rules of the consciousness space.
