Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

”Is your purpose this time to seek vengeance for Tuyuan?”

Lin Zheyu looked at Tu Mingzhen with interest.

He did not hold back and spoke directly.

Beside him, Ji Zitong smiled as she gazed out the window, seeming not to hear their conversation.

Her role this time was merely to bridge the connection for Tu Mingzhen and Xiao Yu; the specific matters required Tu Mingzhen to discuss with Xiao Yu herself.

”No.”

”Tuyuan brought it upon himself, lacking strength compared to others; there is no one to blame but himself.”

Tu Mingzhen said lightly.

Her right hand gently tapped her storage pouch, taking out three superior Spirit Stones.

Tu Mingzhen knew that Xiao Yu initially proposed to return the storage pouch to Tuyuan for three superior Spirit Stones.

”This is my compensation for the previous offense, please accept it.”

Tu Mingzhen lifted her hand gently, revealing the Spirit Stones and a round Elixir.

The Elixir was called the Profound Sun Elixir.

This Elixir is primarily used by Martial Artists for cultivation. It’s very precious and greatly aids in a Martial Artist’s practice.

Lin Zheyu smiled as he accepted the Spirit Stones and Elixir.

It seemed that the other party had a request; otherwise, they wouldn’t have personally asked Ji Zitong to bridge the connection and offer three superior Spirit Stones along with the Profound Sun Elixir to resolve past grievances.

”I wonder what is your purpose on this visit?”

Lin Zheyu accepted the gift, smiling as he inquired.

Tu Mingzhen’s Spirit Stones came just in time, as Lin Zheyu’s own supply was running low, insufficient for further cultivation of the Purple Sky Returning Storage Skill.

Tu Mingzhen turned her head to look at Ji Zitong by her side.

She conveyed a few words to Ji Zitong before waving her right hand to create an earth-yellow barrier that enveloped both her and Lin Zheyu.

Lin Zheyu observed this but did not stop it.

”I wish to invite you to join me in exploring the Witch Race’s ruins.”

Tu Mingzhen stated directly.

After Tuyuan died, she used some means to locate the Witch Race ruin that Tuyuan had hidden.

She secretly visited it once, only observing the outskirts and confirming the presence of Refining Nether Fire within before leaving.

The Witch Race’s ruins were indeed as Tuyuan said, extremely dangerous inside.

Without the help of those two special Magical Artifacts that Lin Zheyu possessed, acquiring the Refining Nether Fire would pose life-threatening risks.

’Witch Race ruins?’

’Witch cultivation heritage?’

Upon hearing this, Lin Zheyu’s mind lit up with understanding.

He finally grasped the whole story.

No wonder Tuyuan was unwilling to let go, even when the price reached three superior Spirit Stones.

No wonder Tuyuan seemingly accepted the three superior Spirit Stones, yet secretly sought others to hunt him down.

Everything was because Tuyuan suspected Lin Zheyu knew the secrets hidden within those two Magical Artifacts, and the three Spirit Stones were just a facade, never truly intending to let go.

Lin Zheyu found it somewhat amusing.

He had merely discovered the powerful Witch cultivation Tao Rhyme energy contained within a skull and a large bone Magical Artifact; he hadn’t connected it to any Witch cultivation ruins.

Lin Zheyu mentioned the Witch Race’s heritage just as a bluff to drive up the price.

He hadn’t expected it would lead to so many events.

Thankfully, they were all positive developments.

”I don’t trust you.”

Lin Zheyu considered for a moment and then said.

Despite Tu Mingzhen’s amicable demeanor and her compensation for the previous assassination attempt, Lin Zheyu remained somewhat skeptical of her.

”I can take a Heavenly Dao oath.”

Tu Mingzhen said calmly.

She had already prepared for this.

Xiao Yu’s strength exceeded Tuyuan’s, and as a Martial Artist, he possessed more advantages than a Cultivator within the Witch Race’s ruins.

Having successfully collaborated with Tuyuan before, working with Xiao Yu this time was not out of the question.

The chances of success were even higher.

”Oh?”

”I need more information.”

Lin Zheyu raised an eyebrow and spoke calmly.

A complete Witch cultivation heritage greatly enticed him.

Even if he did not pursue the path of Witch cultivation, Lin Zheyu wanted to refine his Martial Dao, and the Witch Race’s patterns could provide significant reference value.

Witch cultivation, although not purely a path of life evolution, was also a route of achieving Dao through the flesh.

This path bore many similarities to the Martial Artist’s path.

It was one of the cultivation paths most akin to the Martial Dao.

”Of course.”

”However, as it involves the ruins, I need you to first take an oath not to disclose it.”

Tu Mingzhen smiled slightly, retrieving a pre-prepared contract.

After signing the contract, the two began a deeper conversation.

Ji Zitong nonchalantly looked at the scenery outside the window, occasionally glancing at the conversing two.

Though she was interested in their discussion, Ji Zitong felt no need to pry.

Much time passed.

Over half an hour later.

Ji Zitong saw Lin Zheyu and Tu Mingzhen smile as they lifted the energy barrier.

It was clear they had enjoyed their talk.

”I apologize for any neglect just now.”

Lin Zheyu looked at Ji Zitong with a hint of apology.

He had been preoccupied with negotiating the Witch Race ruin matters with Tu Mingzhen and hadn’t paid attention to Ji Zitong.

Through his probing, Lin Zheyu finally understood why Tu Mingzhen, despite knowing the site of the ruins, invited him to collaborate.

The two Magical Artifacts he obtained from Tuyuan played a significant role within the Witch Race’s ruins.

Without these two Artifacts’ aid, the danger level would rise significantly.

”You’re too courteous; this visit was mainly for Mingzhen’s matter.”

Ji Zitong smiled gently.

”Where is Daoist Ziyang? Is he still in seclusion?”

Lin Zheyu sipped his wine and asked with curiosity.

The others from their previous team had all come out of seclusion, except for Ji Ziyang, who had yet to be heard from.
