Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises-Chapter 292 - 130: Treasure Map

Beside him, there was a burly middle-aged man.

The man was dressed in white, in a scholar's attire, but lacked the slightest scholarly air.

The robust muscles made the white clothes bulge, and the determination on his face seemed to declare, "I'm not someone to mess with."

He looked quite out of place.

However, the man was very strong.

He was a Martial Artist in the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, his aura somewhat weaker than that of the Ya Army from before.

He was probably a Martial Artist who had just entered the Bone Marrow Refining Realm.

Among the entire group, Lin Zheyu discovered only four Martial Artists in the Bone Marrow Refining Realm; three of them were from the Guangxuan Escort Agency.

The remaining one was the man beside Xi Shixin.

"This guy is quite mysterious!"

Lin Zheyu whispered as he watched Xi Shixin's back.

The feeling Xi Shixin gave him was very strange.

Clearly, he was only at the Refining Internal Organ Realm, yet he exuded an inexplicable sense of oddness.

Moreover, the palace examination required traveling to the Central Plains, but Xi Shixin returned to Bafang City after abandoning his literary path to pursue martial arts.

Having made the journey several times, he should logically know the way by heart.

With a Bone Marrow Refining Realm Martial Artist accompanying him and already knowing the routes, there was really no need for him to travel with the Guangxuan Escort Agency.

"Could he be one of those legendary Cultivators?"

Lin Zheyu murmured.

This air of mystery, this inscrutability — even if he wasn't one of those legendary Cultivators, he was likely connected to them.

Yet regrettably, despite his subtle probing, Lin Zheyu couldn't gather any desired information from Xi Shixin.

"Mr. Zhao, don't you find Mr. Xi handsome as well?"

"Do you like Mr. Xi too?"

Liang Yunhui stood beside Lin Zheyu and, seeing him lost in thought looking at Xi Shixin's back, teased with a giggle.

The little girl also had a favorable impression of Xi Shixin.

But she was still young and didn't understand what love or affection truly meant; it was just a simple feeling.

"Uh..."

Lin Zheyu was caught off guard by Liang Yunhui's remark.

He rolled his eyes and didn't reply.

Lin Zheyu walked to the side and picked up Xiaohei, which kept trying to get closer to the barbecue stand.

"Let's go, find an inn to rest for two nights, then head straight to Wuling City."

"By the way, do you want to spend a few days in Ruyang City?"

Lin Zheyu asked.

He didn't plan to enter Ruyang City.

Although Ruyang City was more developed than Bafang City, it didn't have any powerful Sects.

"No, let's rest for two days and then head to Wuling City."

Liang Yuhan replied bluntly.

Liang Yunhui looked at her expectantly, and upon hearing this, she immediately showed a disappointed expression.

Having endured the rough journey for so long, she really wanted a good long rest.

"Alright, that's settled then."

Lin Zheyu nodded.

The sky gradually darkened.

The marketplace lit up with numerous oil lamps.

Some shops, to look more appealing, hung lanterns outside.

This market was bustling.

The shouts and calls rose one after another.

There were many street vendors pushing carts, making this a large exchange center for goods.

The flow of people sometimes spread out, sometimes clustered together, as if from a high vantage, it resembled a continuously flowing river.

Lin Zheyu drove the ox and horse cart to the nearest inn.

Due to this marketplace, there were many traveling caravans, and nearly every inn had places to leave ox carts and horse carts.

"Welcome, how many rooms do you need?" the waiter greeted enthusiastically.

"Two upper rooms."

"Alright!"

Following the waiter's lead, they went upstairs to their rooms.

The rooms were nicely arranged, with a classical and elegant style, and were well cleaned.

Lin Zheyu didn't have much luggage, carried his valuables with him, and left only the heavy armor in the room.

The heavy armor weighed 500 kilograms, and people generally wouldn't steal such a thing.

...

On the first floor of the inn, the three of them ordered a sumptuous meal.

Having traveled and camped outdoors for months, they were tired of roasted meat, though it wasn't bad.

Sizzle~~

Xiaohei stood on a chair, looking displeased at the lavish spread before him.

It was a carnivorous beast and only liked roasted meat. These elaborately cooked dishes weren't to its taste.

"Xiaohei, here is some roasted meat that you like."

Liang Yunhui offered a piece of braised pork to Xiaohei. Xiaohei sniffed it and swallowed it in one bite, a look of disdain on its face.

"You don't like it? If not, try this."

Liang Yunhui picked up another dish.

"Don't mind it, Xiaohei only likes six-tenths cooked roasted meat. It's not used to this elaborately cooked food; it lacks the chewiness."

Lin Zheyu said.

He called the waiter and ordered three six-tenths cooked roasted meat for Xiaohei.

Xiaohei was a big eater, and Lin Zheyu didn't plan to let it eat freely at the inn as it would be too costly.

Later, during their nocturnal outing to push limits, he would give it roasted meat.

"Be careful tonight, the Lai Brothers are staying at the same inn with us."

"Do you need help?"

Liang Yuhan suddenly said softly.

Not far away, Lai Chang and Lai Mao were also having a feast, eating heartily.

Knowing Lin Zheyu's tendencies, she suspected he might fall into a weakened state again tonight.

"Yes, I know, it's fine."

Lin Zheyu nodded and continued eating.

He had already noticed the Lai Brothers.

Lin Zheyu didn't take them seriously; they were just two Qi Blood Realm Martial Artists, whom he could easily defeat with one punch.

...

"I'm full; I'm going for a walk."

Halfway through their meal, Lai Chang suddenly said.

"Mm, go ahead."

"Remember, don't mess around."

Lai Mao glanced at him, reminding him solemnly.

Staying at this inn was Lai Chang's decision, and Lai Mao knew exactly what he was thinking.

This wasn't inside the city, so management was more lax.
