Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Chapter 471: Chapter 182: Waterfall and Deep Pool (Part 3)

This transformation begins slowly, but accelerates with each Qi Blood Transformation, especially after reaching the Twelve Transformations of Qi and Blood.

Every three transformations in the Qi Blood Realm result in a substantial leap in strength. After reaching Twelve Transformations, the amount of golden Qi Blood in the body has increased considerably.

Currently, the total amount of golden Qi Blood accounts for about one-tenth of the body’s Qi Blood.

The more golden Qi Blood there is, the faster the transformation occurs.

The effect is that the cultivation technique becomes faster to practice, appetite increases, absorption of medicine strengthens, and recovery ability improves.

”Really!”

”No wonder Mr. Lin, without any background or powerful cultivation technique, could cultivate such formidable strength with an ordinary cultivation technique.”

Huang Youwei had no doubt about what Lin Zheyu said.

He knew deeply that achieving eight Qi Blood Transformations was exceedingly difficult.

After the fourth Qi Blood Transformation, each subsequent transformation became exponentially harder.

Especially after the sixth Qi Blood Transformation.

At this level, no matter how potent the elixirs or abundant the resources, it’s rare to cultivate a genius with eight Qi Blood Transformations.

His talent wasn’t considered extraordinarily strong, just slightly better than the average person.

Only with the use of a substantial amount of resources by his father, and even taking a powerful elixir, did he manage to advance to eight Qi Blood Transformations.

But as for the ninth Qi Blood Transformation, there was no way.

If Huang Youwei wanted to force another breakthrough using elixirs, he would need something far more powerful, and even Sect Leader Huang Baizhong might not afford such a thing despite spending all his savings.

Huang Youwei found out that Lin Zheyu surprisingly broke through to the Bone Marrow Refining Realm at eight Qi Blood Transformations.

This was incredible.

Without a fortunate encounter, talent, or a good foundation, it seemed impossible for a martial artist without background to reach this level.

After eating, Lin Zheyu returned to the deep pool of the waterfall for cultivation, while Huang Youwei left on his own.

He had been cultivating Infinite Jade Waves True Skill since childhood, his physique already fully transformed, so he didn’t need to train there any longer.

At the waterfall’s deep pool, the surrounding martial artists watched Lin Zheyu from afar, but no one approached to greet him.

They all joined the Infinite Sect from a young age and had good relationships with one another.

But faced with Lin Zheyu, a newcomer, they were somewhat distant.

Lin Zheyu stepped through the crowd and walked into the deep pool.

There was a difference in the energy materials contained under the waterfall and in the deep pool. Various unique creatures raised in the deep pool secreted substances absent in the waterfall.

Lin Zheyu usually cultivated under the waterfall for about three hours before entering the deep pool to train.

Training at the bottom of the deep pool, the omnipresent, overwhelming pressure made the experience distinctly different from training under the waterfall.

This greatly aided his understanding of Infinite Jade Waves True Skill.

For now, he didn’t plan to use Source Power to enhance Infinite Jade Waves True Skill.

Firstly, because starting from the beginning, the progress was very rapid, so it wasn’t necessary.

Secondly, the cultivation process of Infinite Jade Waves True Skill offered a valuable experience that greatly benefited his martial arts training.

Thirdly, Lin Zheyu didn’t have enough Source Power.

All his Source Power was spent on refining Qi Blood.

Lin Zheyu had a hunch that when all of his Qi Blood transformed into golden Qi Blood, his body would undergo some monumental change.

Whoosh~~

Lin Zheyu took a deep breath, the powerful airflow stirred the pool, creating ripples.

So far in his training, having practiced various Breathing Skills, his organs were exceptionally strong, and coupled with a robust physique, he could inhale large amounts of air in one breath.

With his chest inflated, Lin Zheyu suddenly dived into the water.

His body shot towards the depths of the pool like a cannonball.

The fish in the pond, glowing blue with bioluminescence, sensed the disturbance and scattered rapidly.

Reaching the pool’s bottom, Lin Zheyu used his hands to stir the water, stabilizing his body while beginning to operate Infinite Jade Waves True Skill.

As he cultivated, the water at the bottom started to churn.

The martial artists training around him paddled with their arms to distance themselves.

Their control wasn’t strong enough; training in the depths of the pool, maintaining body stability, enduring constant pressure while focusing on Infinite Jade Waves True Skill was a significant challenge for them.

The intense commotion from Lin Zheyu’s cultivation disrupted their own training.

Blub, blub, blub——

Not far away, a short-haired young man suddenly exhaled a string of bubbles, kicked his feet, and propelled himself upwards.

Whoosh~~

Bursting out of the water’s surface, he greedily gasped for air.

”What a monstrous guy, able to cause such turmoil deep in the pool,” he remarked in astonishment.

As he emerged, several other figures followed, breaking the surface and gasping for air.

They exchanged looks, their faces showing a mix of awe and helplessness.

Sharing a rueful smile, they nodded to each other and swam away.

Once about 30 to 40 meters away from Lin Zheyu’s spot, they plunged back underwater.

The moon shone faint against the sparse stars.

Upon returning to the courtyard, night had deepened.

”Master, you’ve returned.”

”The medicinal bath and clothes are ready for you, and I am here to assist you in changing,” Yuqing said respectfully.

She had now become Lin Zheyu’s personal maid, responsible for his everyday needs.

...

...

Morning.

Dawn’s light barely brightened the day.

Lin Zheyu woke from a deep sleep.

Using Turtle Breath True Skill for deep rest allowed his Essence, Qi, and Spirit to recover better and faster.

Within Infinite Sect, he had no concerns for his safety, allowing him to fully relax and enter a deep slumber.

However, his perception was now extremely keen; even in deep sleep, any danger would instantly rouse him.

Ding~

Ding, ding-ding~~

The sound of the bell rang out.

Usually silent, it’s only rung for the monthly sect gathering.

”Finally, I’m going to become a True Disciple...”

With a smile, Lin Zheyu felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation.

To him, becoming a True Disciple wouldn’t make a substantial immediate difference.

There would be changes, but not significant ones.

The practice location at the waterfall’s deep pool had offset his deficiency in cultivation resources.

Of course, if he had ample cultivation resources to aid his training, combined with the waterfall deep pool practice, his cultivation speed would greatly increase.

”Master, here is your sect attire.”

”Today is the sect gathering, and every disciple must wear their sect garb,” Yuqing said respectfully, holding the Infinite Sect uniform.

Lin Zheyu was still an Inner Sect Disciple, and this was the attire for an Inner Sect Disciple.

Both the main sect and the eight divisions of Infinite Sect had their own distinct uniforms.

Overall, the attire was the same, but the chest emblems differed between divisions.

The emblem on Bitao Pavilion’s chest was a blue wave.
