Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

In the marketplace outside the forest.

The place was bustling with people coming and going.

Lin Zheyu sold the hunted beasts and walked out from the crowd.

A middle-aged man quickly followed him.

"I am Luo Zhengtian from Purple Yu Manor. Why don't you listen to the offer first?"

The middle-aged man approached Lin Zheyu and said with a smile.

They had investigated Lin Zheyu, who seemed to be a loose cultivator.

He appeared and disappeared mysteriously, and no one knew his background, only that he was a powerful Martial Artist.

But since he often hunted beasts deep in the mountains and forests and sold them in the marketplace, it was apparent he needed silver taels.

If he could make a high enough offer, maybe he could recruit him.

"Do you have a manual capable of cultivating to the Qi Blood Dragon Realm?"

"If not, there's no need to talk."

Lin Zheyu said indifferently.

Luo Zhengtian's expression froze upon hearing this.

A cultivation technique manual that allows one to cultivate to the Qi Blood Dragon Realm?

Such a technique is extremely precious, valued higher than many common Huajin level techniques.

In the Qi Blood Realm, as the number of Qi Blood transformations increases, the difficulty of transformation becomes increasingly higher.

A technique that can cause six Qi Blood transformations is already a rare treasure among cultivation techniques.

One that allows for nine transformations, reaching the Qi Blood Dragon Realm, is not only priceless but unavailable on the market.

Only major powers or ancient families possess techniques of this level.

After the sixth Qi Blood transformation, the difficulty of transformation greatly increases.

Even with extraordinary talent, it's impossible to advance to the Qi Blood Dragon Realm through ordinary training methods.

One needs to cultivate a unique Secret Technique to continue transforming Qi Blood in a short period, reaching the Qi Blood Dragon Realm.

"Do you intend to use it yourself?"

Luo Zhengtian quickly caught up and asked in a deep voice.

Previously, he had speculated that the person before him might be an expert in the Bone Marrow Refining Realm.

Among the conditions they prepared was one meant for experts in the Bone Marrow Refining Realm—related to the opportunity for Martial Artists in this realm to advance to the Huajin level.

But unexpectedly, Lin Zheyu's condition was for a manual that could cultivate to the Qi Blood Dragon Realm.

This took him by surprise.

"No, I'm just interested. Do you have such a technique?" Lin Zheyu asked.

Luo Zhengtian scrutinized Lin Zheyu's expression, unable to discern the truth in his words.

But he felt it was possible that Lin Zheyu indeed wanted it for himself.

If that were the case, it would be astonishing.

Lin Zheyu's disguised appearance seemed to be about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, but in this world, Martial Artists in the Bone Marrow Refining Realm appeared younger.

Advancing to the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, after Bone Marrow Cleansing, results in significant transformation of one's physique and bone structure.

It not only extends one's lifespan but also makes one look younger.

Luo Zhengtian previously speculated that Lin Zheyu might be a fifty or sixty-year-old Bone Marrow Refining Realm veteran.

Upon hearing Lin Zheyu's request, he thought perhaps the reality was reversed, and Lin Zheyu might be younger than he appeared.

Even though he looked about thirty-seven or thirty-eight, his actual age might be less.

He just looked mature for his age.

If Martial Artists advance to the Bone Marrow Refining Realm without adequate medicinal assistance, overuse might make them look older than their age, which is quite normal.

"He wants to find a cultivation technique capable of reaching the Qi Blood Dragon Realm, likely for his own use."

"If so, he might actually be only about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old!"

The middle-aged man murmured, his eyes shining brightly.

Older Martial Artists would not continue wasting effort on Qi Blood transformations, as remaining in the Qi Blood Realm past forty without advancing to the Bone Marrow Refining Realm would ruin their prospects.

"Being able to kill Qi Blood Five Transformations beasts and capture Qi Blood Four Transformations beasts, without intense combat in the process."

"His strength must be at least at the Qi Blood Six Transformations, no, probably Qi Blood Seven Transformations level."

Luo Zhengtian whispered as he looked at Lin Zheyu's back.

They had purchased the beasts Lin Zheyu sold multiple times, and they were almost all killed in a single blow. Even the Qi Blood Four Transformations beasts did not have many fatal injuries.

Except for the Qi Blood Five Transformations beast that had been killed, probably because it was too strong to be captured and had to be killed instead.

The middle-aged man guessed that Lin Zheyu was likely a Qi Blood Seven Transformations expert.

"A twenty-seven or twenty-eight-year-old Qi Blood Seven Transformations expert?"

"Perhaps I've been overthinking."

Saying this, Luo Zhengtian couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

It seemed absurd.

A genius Martial Artist at twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old with Qi Blood Seven Transformations would hardly appear in a small place like Bafang City.

As usual, Lin Zheyu wandered around the marketplace, spending thirty silver taels to purchase a Cyan Frost Ghost Vine.

This herb could be used to create various poisons.

He had already stayed in Bafang City for a month and planned to leave for the Central Plains Region in two months.

The journey to the Central Plains is long and takes about three to four months. Along the way, he might encounter various dangers, so Lin Zheyu needed to prepare some poisons and intoxicants to be prepared for unexpected situations.

By the time he returned to the city, it was already dark.

"Mr. Lin, you're back, have you eaten yet?"

In front of the Han Family courtyard, a young girl excitedly asked when she saw Lin Zheyu.

She was Han Mo's eldest daughter, thirteen years old this year, with a round, adorable face.

Han Xuefan usually stayed at home learning embroidery from her mother and rarely went out to play.

"I have. Have you eaten?" Lin Zheyu replied with a smile.
