Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Chapter 491: Chapter 188: Challenge (Part 2)

Martial Artists who haven’t undergone Bone Marrow Cleansing reach their peak around forty years old. After surpassing forty, they begin to decline.

If one solely cultivates Body Refining Techniques without embarking on the path of Bone Marrow Cleansing, their physique won’t reach Lin Zheyu’s level before their body starts to decline.

This is also why in Martial Dao cultivation, condensing Qi Blood is considered of utmost importance.

The greatest difference between the Bone Marrow Refining Realm and the Qi Blood Realm is the incredibly powerful physique.

If the physique’s strength is somewhat weaker, it might still be possible for a Qi Blood Realm Martial Artist to have cultivated it through Body Refining Techniques.

But the strength of Lin Zheyu’s physique is something ordinary Qi Blood Realm Martial Artists simply cannot achieve.

After witnessing Lin Zheyu’s physique strength, Mr. Yang, Sect Leader Huang Baizhong, and others had no doubt that he could possibly be a Qi Blood Realm Martial Artist.

Rumble~

The roaring sound of the waterfall echoed throughout the back mountain, and the splashing water droplets formed a beautiful rainbow in the sky.

Lin Zheyu changed into a dry set of clothes and prepared to leave.

After breaking through the limit, it’s important to rest well; it’s not suitable to continue cultivating in such a state.

”Master Uncle~ Master Uncle~”

Just as he walked out of the back mountain, he ran into Huang Youwei coming his way.

”Requesting my help again?”

Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

Helping Huang Youwei once offered a handsome reward, enough for him to exchange for a third-tier cultivation technique manual from the Celestial Lu Pavilion.

”No.”

”I don’t have extra contribution points to ask for your help now.”

Huang Youwei muttered.

After transferring five hundred contribution points to Lin Zheyu, his contribution points were almost exhausted.

Contribution points from the Infinite Sect are hard to come by. Someone like Xiao Shu, who guards Deshan Hall, only earns thirty points a month. To earn more contribution points, one needs to take on more difficult tasks.

”I thought you caused some trouble again.”

Lin Zheyu smiled and continued walking outside, ”I haven’t eaten yet, care to join me?”

”No, I have something to do later.”

”I just came to let you know that the contribution points have been transferred to your account,” Huang Youwei said.

”Thank you.”

”If there’s any more good deals like this in the future, remember to find me often.”

Lin Zheyu laughed heartily.

He agreed to help back then because he valued Huang Youwei’s sincerity.

”Definitely, definitely!”

Huang Youwei chuckled and bid farewell to Lin Zheyu.

Such an expensive cost for help, managing to enlist once is already quite a feat. If it weren’t for Heng Qiming’s excessive behavior, he wouldn’t have spent this money.

’Ah, without contribution points to squander, I’ll have to turn to my parents for them, and they’ll force me to cultivate like crazy again.’

Huang Youwei sighed slightly.

As a second-generation Martial Artist, he doesn’t have a strong need for contribution points, nor does he value them too much.

However, gaining cultivation resources from his parents isn’t easy, and he’ll once again fall into their clutches.

With the contribution points from Huang Youwei, Lin Zheyu went straight to the Celestial Lu Pavilion.

He had been eyeing a cultivation technique inside for a long time but couldn’t exchange it due to a lack of contribution points.

Master Huang Baizhong only provided resources for cultivating the Infinite Jade Waves True Skill, not wanting Lin Zheyu to be distracted by other things.

To exchange for cultivation techniques, he could only rely on himself.

”Greetings, Master Uncle.”

”Greetings, Master Uncle.”

Along the way, the guarding True Disciples respectfully greeted him.

Entering the Celestial Lu Pavilion, he effortlessly reached the third floor.

There are many interesting techniques on the second floor as well, but Lin Zheyu currently focuses entirely on the Infinite Jade Waves True Skill, Great Power Vajra Fist, and Qi Blood Condensation.

Although those techniques are interesting, they’re not worth Lin Zheyu’s divided attention.

However, the technique on the third floor is different.

It’s worth it.

”Greetings, Fifth Elder.”

Reaching the third floor, Lin Zheyu respectfully cupped his hands toward the Fifth Elder on duty today.

The Fifth Elder is named Xu Kuiyang, of the same generation as Master Huang Baizhong, and in terms of seniority, Lin Zheyu has to call him Master Uncle.

Judging by appearance, Xu Kuiyang looks much older than Huang Baizhong.

Lin Zheyu learned from Huang Youwei that Xu Kuiyang is a hundred seventy-two years old, while Master Huang Baizhong is only a hundred eighty.

Grandmasters who have cultivated Longevity Skills and taken Life-extending Pills have a maximum lifespan of three hundred years.

Huang Baizhong is just past his prime, and his physique is starting to show signs of decline.

Xu Kuiyang, however, began his decline much earlier.

Despite being younger than Huang Baizhong, due to the disparity in strength and his inadequate talent and comprehension, his Turtle Breath True Skill isn’t very advanced, resulting in a significantly shorter lifespan.

Even if he takes life-extending elixirs, he’d likely live just past two hundred and twenty.

Conversely, look at Mr. Yang, who at over two hundred thirty years old is still exceptionally strong, capable of holding his own against Demon Martial Artists at the peak of Transforming Force.

This partly stems from his former status as a grandmaster-level powerhouse.

It also owes to Mr. Yang having cultivated the Turtle Breath True Skill to perfection, in addition to other techniques that seal life energy.

”Ah, it’s Zheyu. Encountering difficulties in cultivation and looking for techniques?”

Seeing Lin Zheyu, Xu Kuiyang asked with a smile.

”My cultivation is going smoothly; I’m just very interested in a certain technique and came here to exchange for it. Thank you, Elder, for your concern,” Lin Zheyu replied respectfully.

”I heard you’ve made it to the Hidden Dragon List; recently joining the Infinite Sect and already showcasing such combat power, impressive.”

”Keep striving, see if you can break into the top thirty of the Hidden Dragon List, outclassing Xiao Shi from the War God Sect,” Xu Kuiyang said with a smile.

”Yes.”

”I will definitely give it my all,” Lin Zheyu replied.

It was no surprise to him that Xu Kuiyang found out so quickly.
