Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises-Chapter 297 - 131: Barbarian Race

"He doesn't seem to recognize the Corpse Worm Elixir."

"Or maybe he did recognize it but pretended not to?"

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

Since he couldn't tell if Lai Mao was faking it, he decided to ignore it.

Lin Zheyu was just curious and wanted to test the effect of the Corpse Worm Elixir.

Even if Lai Mao neutralized the poison, there was no real loss.

The Corpse Worm Elixir isn't very significant to him now.

When he returned to the inn, Liang Yuhan and the others had already eaten their fill.

Liang Yunhui was teasing Xiaohei, who was immersed in food. They saw Xiaohei wasn't full earlier, so they ordered several large bowls of roasted meat.

"Need help?" Liang Yuhan asked.

"No, the problem is solved."

"I might stay here a few more days. If you're in a hurry, you can head to Wuling City first."

Lin Zheyu said.

He planned to obtain Lai Mao's cultivation technique before departing.

The journey was the perfect opportunity to study the newly acquired technique and expand his martial arts knowledge.

With more knowledge reserves, whether improving techniques or creating a new one, it would be immensely helpful.

"Then let's stay a few more days; we're not really in a rush."

Liang Yuhan said indifferently.

Coming from Bafang City to here had already taken several months, so a few days wouldn't matter.

"Alright."

"I'm heading out for a bit; you guys be wary of Lai Mao."

Lin Zheyu said.

With those words, he grabbed Xiaohei by the scruff and lifted him up.

Hiss—

Interrupted during his meal, Xiaohei bared his teeth displeased.

Upon seeing Lin Zheyu's gaze, his sound immediately quieted.

The inn's manager was quite efficient.

Lin Zheyu went upstairs and glanced at the original room.

Lai Chang's corpse was already gone, and the room was cleaned spick and span.

Returning to his room, he checked the items he had taken from Lai Mao.

The silver taels on Lai Mao were significantly more than Lai Chang's, totaling over five thousand taels.

Besides the silver taels, there were various poisons, powders, and hidden weapons.

"These two guys are rather wealthy; together they have nearly ten thousand taels of silver."

Lin Zheyu inventoried his belongings.

Previously he had less than five thousand taels, and now he suddenly had savings of over fourteen thousand taels.

These traveling Martial Artists carried all their possessions on them.

Robbing them really was a fast way to get money, no wonder so many were tempted to gamble their lives and become bandits in the mountains.

"This 'Barbaric Bear Demon Skill' is quite interesting; many of the medicines used are poisons recorded in the Poison Canon, and extremely rare."

"Trying the methods described to refine the body and strengthen the physique is something ordinary people couldn't endure."

Lin Zheyu briefly reviewed the Barbaric Bear Demon Skill.

This cultivation technique from the Barbarian Clan was rather straightforward and brutal.

Barbarians naturally have strong physiques and extraordinarily abundant life force. From a young age, they use methods similar to those on the Barbaric Bear Demon Skill to refine their bodies.

This approach is unfeasible for the Human Race.

Those from major families start with herbal baths from a young age to establish their foundation.

But they use milder medicines.

"Lai Mao probably gave attention to this Barbarian Clan Skill because he hit a bottleneck in his Martial Dao."

"Even if someone could increase their strength and physique using the method described, they would suffer severe side effects."

Lin Zheyu closed the manual and pondered silently.

After all, they are two different races.

This isn't just about being able to endure or not.

Many of the herbs and body refining methods that are beneficial to the Barbarian Race have intense toxicity to the Human Race.

That guy handed over the technique so readily, likely without good intentions.

"Once enough silver taels are gathered, and enough herbs are prepared, I'll test the effects of the 'Barbaric Bear Demon Skill'."

Lin Zheyu secretly thought.

He could use Source Power to enhance, without worrying about the side effects left by refining the body using methods recorded in the Barbaric Bear Demon Skill.

Moreover, unlike regular cultivation techniques, this type primarily uses herbs to refine the body and quickens the improvement significantly.

In the consciousness space, regardless of how severely the body is hurt, it can recover quickly.

In reality, using herbs to refine the body, after each refinement, requires adequate exercise and rest to let the body completely recover and strengthen.

But in the consciousness space, this isn't necessary.

As long as there are enough herbs, one unit of Source Power can achieve several years' worth of cultivation results in reality. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

And no need to worry about side effects.

"I'm not sure how fast the absorption of medicinal effects is in the consciousness space."

Lin Zheyu pondered.

He hadn't yet tried absorbing medicinal strength and entering the consciousness space to use the herbs as auxiliary resources during the cultivation process.

Medicinal energy is used to serve as the energy needed for strengthening the body after Source Power enhancement.

In the Poison Canon, the recorded 'Poison King Body' is similar to the 'Barbaric Bear Demon Skill', just without the training part of the 'Barbaric Bear Demon Skill'.

Lin Zheyu previously intended to try enhancing the 'Poison King Body' with Source Power to see the effect when medicinal energy entered the consciousness space as an aid in cultivation.

Unfortunately, he never managed to gather enough herbs.

If it's truly as he suspects, enhancing the 'Poison King Body' with one unit of Source Power requires preparing enough herbs for five or six years, even ten years in the real world.

It's too costly.

Lin Zheyu hadn't yet indulged in spending so many silver taels to enhance a technique with no significant impact on his strength.

When someday, the herbs needed for enhancement become inconsequential expenses for him, Lin Zheyu plans to try enhancing and see.
