Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

During the training process, various special tools are needed to help temper the physique, and the force of Qi Blood in the body must coordinate simultaneously with the tempering.

From this, Lin Zheyu learned a new way to use the force of Qi Blood.

”I didn’t expect Qi Blood could be used this way.”

Lin Zheyu marveled.

Following the techniques in the secret manual, he stirred the Qi Blood force within his body and felt as if his muscles and skin were struck heavily.

With the goal achieved, Lin Zheyu didn’t linger.

In the courtyard.

The bright moonlight poured down.

Lin Zheyu took out three sets of Dust-Free Blood Coagulation Powder material, pouring them into a wooden basin and mixing them thoroughly.

The drug power of one set of Dust-Free Blood Coagulation Powder is equivalent to fourteen sets of Blood-Nourishing and Bone-Strengthening Soup.

To temper the physique and enhance bodily strength requires a lot of energy. Lin Zheyu planned to try using two units of Source Power, along with the drug power of three sets of Dust-Free Blood Coagulation Powder, to see if it suffices.

Preparation complete, he sent out a thought.

’Use two units of Source Power to enhance the Hundred Refinements Treasure Canon.’

In an instant, a huge mysterious energy surged from the depths of his cells, drawing the drug power from the wooden basin and flowing through his whole body.

Lin Zheyu’s spirit wavered as he entered the mysterious consciousness space.

In this space, all the tools needed to practice the Hundred Refinements Treasure Canon for tempering the physique are present.

The cultivation of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Canon is highly challenging and the process is extremely painful.

Using a wolf-tooth rod to relentlessly pound the body is necessary, and within the body, Qi Blood must be circulated with special techniques to deeply temper muscles, skin, and bones.

After training, a herbal bath is used for cleansing, the entire body smeared with a special ointment to aid recovery and strengthen the physique.

The most precious aspects of this secret manual are the formulas for the herbal bath and ointment, and the unique Qi Blood manipulation techniques.

Next are the methods to temper various body parts.

Lin Zheyu chose not to use the herbal bath and ointment since his body could infinitely recover within the consciousness space.

Although not using the herbal bath and ointment might lessen the pharmaceutical enhancement effect on the physique, it does not impact significantly.

In the consciousness space.

Dozens of half-meter thick columns of wolf-tooth rods forged from black iron hung from above, with the spikes replaced by rounded protrusions.

Lin Zheyu’s figure darted around, colliding into them, the large forces from the rounded protrusions and circular black iron struck his body.

Each heavy blow brought about huge tempering effects.

Coordinated with the outburst of Qi Blood force within the body, there wasn’t a single place on him that didn’t hurt.

Lin Zheyu’s spirit twisted from the pain; he realized he might have overdone it. Infinite recovery doesn’t mean there is no pain.

Relying on the trait of infinite recovery, he ramped up the training difficulty, and while the effect was improved, the pain was also doubled.

As time passed by second by second.

Lin Zheyu continued training endlessly. As he improved, the scene in the consciousness space also shifted, changing the modes of training.

A few breaths later.

Lin Zheyu opened his eyes; bloodshot lines suddenly filled his eyes, his gaze exuding deep fatigue.

”Whew...”

He exhaled deeply.

”Cultivating the Body Refining Technique is truly painful!”

Lin Zheyu shuddered, not daring to continue enhancing; he needed to rest for an hour to recover.

Even though he broke through limits multiple times, his spirit was exceptionally resilient, yet the increased difficulty, as if endless cultivation in the consciousness space, was almost unbearable.

He glanced at the data in his consciousness; thankfully, the progress did not disappoint him.

[Heavenly Rewards for Diligence]

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 5

Skills:

Gale Slash (Perfection)

Golden Swan Skill (Ninth Layer 100%)

Hundred Refinements Treasure Canon (First Layer 97%)

Turtle Breath Skill (Third-Layer Perfection)

He had previously accumulated seven units of Source Power, used up two units, leaving five units remaining.

The two units of Source Power, conceivably nearly brought the first layer to Perfection.

The Hundred Refinements Treasure Canon has three layers in total; cultivating it to Perfection is expected not to exhaust a lot of Source Power.

The remaining five units of Source Power, even if unable to be cultivated to Perfection, could be enhanced to the Third Layer.

Lin Zheyu sensed his own state, feeling a slight change in his body.

A membrane resembling Qi Blood Gauze has formed under the skin, while the muscles and skin became more resilient.

He tested his physical strength, which hadn’t obviously improved, around seven to eight percent.

After testing the strength, he took out a small knife and lightly scratched the back of his hand.

The blade glided over the skin without cutting it.

Exerting a bit more force, nearly two-tenths of his strength, the skin’s defense was finally breached.

”Not bad, this skin is like wearing leather armor.”

Lin Zheyu was very satisfied with the effect of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Canon.

This was just shy of reaching the first layer Perfection and already had such effects; once enhanced to the Third-Layer Perfection, it will have a fur effect similar to that terrifying beast he once encountered.

Blocking a full-force blade solely with fur is incredibly strong.
