Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Even though Lin Zheyu was only patrolling near the defense line, he could hunt several magical constructs every day.

Roar!

Roar roar!

Roars echoed from the forest.

Lin Zheyu glanced far into the woods and continued his patrol.

With a light tap of his toe, he appeared over a dozen meters away in the blink of an eye.

He heightened his senses to the limit, confirming the concentration of the underworld power nearby. Finding no anomalies, he didn’t linger.

”Another little thing spotted.”

The corners of Lin Zheyu’s mouth lifted as he changed direction and dashed towards the southwest.

Whoosh!

The purple blade light streaked through the darkness like lightning, and a huge magical construct suddenly emerged from the bushes. After roaring and rushing out for over a dozen meters, its head and body separated, tumbling to the ground.

”These magical constructs lack intelligence, and those controlling them lack intelligence as well—each time they hide in identical places.”

Lin Zheyu murmured softly.

He had hunted two magical constructs at the underworld power source.

These constructs were manipulated from behind, suppressing their instincts to quietly infiltrate near Wuling City, hidden at the power source.

All Lin Zheyu needed was a daily stroll near the source to reap rewards.

The authorities of Great Wei had also noticed this.

The city garrison had stationed people to watch over the power source, regularly clearing the constructs lurking here.

Swish~

Swish swish~~

Lin Zheyu carried the construct’s head, swiftly moving through the forest.

After completing a patrol, Lin Zheyu changed his route.

”Hmm~”

”There’s another one here.”

”Seems there are far more constructs lurking nearby than I imagined!”

A construct’s head appeared in Lin Zheyu’s hand.

This head wasn’t hidden at the power source but in an ordinary place.

If not for his powerful senses and coincidentally passing near its hiding spot, he wouldn’t have discovered this concealed construct.

”This construct won’t do, it’s actually at the Huajin Level.”

After discerning the construct’s power, Lin Zheyu helplessly tossed the head back, hiding it anew.

”Even Huajin Level constructs appearing here means a change is imminent.”

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

[Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence]

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 65

Skills:

Sacred Inference Spirit Skill (Level 2, 0%)

Primordial Infinite True Skill (Level 3, 0%)

Looking at the data in his consciousness, Lin Zheyu had accumulated 65 units of Source Power over time.

Even though mastering the 42 true essences to break through the Huajin Level is challenging, 65 units of Source Power should be sufficient.

Besides Source Power, during this period, he had also accumulated 27 bottles of Spiritual Liquid and three Spirit Stones.

Lin Zheyu stored the Spiritual Liquid in a large jade bottle for easy carrying. The 27 bottles roughly amounted to just over a liter.

”In this world, there are Cultivators. I wonder if there are storage bags...” Lin Zheyu pondered.

He had long coveted the wondrous storage bags, but unfortunately, there was no way to purchase them.

However, if they were purchasable, they’d likely be expensive.

After patrolling, Lin Zheyu carried a construct’s head back to his usual spot for roasting beast meat.

”Mr. Lin, General Wei wants you to pay a visit.”

Lin Zheyu tossed the construct’s head aside and was about to resume grilling when a soldier ran over respectfully.

”Did the general mention anything?”

Lin Zheyu asked.

”A few high-ranking officials have arrived, gathering all Martial Artists—seems urgent.”

”Mr. Li and Mr. Guo have already gone.”

The soldier replied.

”Help me with registering this construct’s head.”

Lin Zheyu nudged the head towards the soldier with his right foot, instructing him.

Upon arriving at the military camp, Li Yin, Guo Yu, and Zheng Mountain were present.

Apart from them, several strangers sat atop the highest seats.

Even General Wei Yun stood quietly to the side, listening to their orders.

As Lin Zheyu stepped into the camp, he keenly felt a stranger’s gaze, a young man, directed at him.

”Who is this person?”

Lin Zheyu’s heart heightened in vigilance.

Although the man hid it well, Lin Zheyu clearly sensed a playful and faint hostility from him.

”Did something major happen?”

Lin Zheyu asked softly.

The strangers were discussing something with General Wei Yun and a Huajin Level commander, with no task for Lin Zheyu and his companions.

They seemingly came to await the deliberation and then follow orders once a decision was made.

”No idea, seems a change is afoot, a significant move is underway.” Li Yin also replied softly.
