Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises-Chapter 321 - 138: Unconventional Methods (2)

The second stage begins by circulating Qi Blood through the acupoints all over the body, using their power to purify the force of Qi Blood.

From the second stage to the sixth stage, each corresponds to a Qi Blood Transformation, progressing gradually.

As the body’s strength and the number of Qi Blood Transformations increase, the number of acupoints through which Qi Blood circulates begins to grow.

Upon completing the sixth stage of cultivation, one can directly reach the Qi Blood Dragon Realm.

Lin Zheyu is already a Martial Artist at the Qi Blood Four Transformations stage, so there’s no need to start cultivating from the first stage.

He omitted the first stage, retaining only the other five stages, and divided the Qianyuan Skill into five layers.

"No, I can be even more ruthless."

"The process from the first stage to the fifth stage is a gradual progression, intended to prevent the body from becoming overwhelmed and sustaining fundamental damage during cultivation."

"But by using Source Power for enhancement, I don’t have to worry about severe damage to my body at all."

"As long as it doesn’t involve burning Spirit like the Blood Boiling Secret Skill does."

Lin Zheyu mused silently.

In his consciousness space, he had run the Blood Boiling Secret Skill tens of thousands of times; the Qianyuan Skill is much gentler than the Blood Boiling Secret Skill.

He didn’t need to go through the adaptation process of the first four stages and could start cultivating directly from the fifth stage.

The moment the thought was transmitted, the data in his consciousness became blurry, then instantly clear again.

[Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence]

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 66

Skills:

Blood Boiling Secret Skill (Perfection)

Reversed Chaos Forbidden Skill (Perfection)

Qianyuan Skill (Uninitiated 0%)

Golden Swan Skill (Tenth Layer 100%)

Spiritual Mysterious Body Skill (Fifth Layer 100%)

Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness.

The content of the Qianyuan Skill retained only the cultivation content of the last stage.

It was divided into Uninitiated, Initiated, Proficient, Minor Achievement, Great Success, and Perfection.

"The problem with the Cultivation Technique is solved; now I need to purchase some herbs."

"The medicinal power needed for Qi Blood Transformation is much greater than for enhancing other Cultivation Techniques; this amount of silver taels isn’t sufficient."

"I will first visit the major pharmacies in the city to see if there’s anything more cost-effective than Dust-Free Blood Coagulation Powder."

Lin Zheyu mused silently.

He stood up.

His appearance began to subtly change, transforming into that of a plain-looking middle-aged man.

Lin Zheyu gently leaped, jumping onto the courtyard wall, observing in secret for a while. Once he confirmed no one was watching, he darted into the alleyway.

He took a tour of major pharmacies in Wuling City.

Eventually, he arrived at Jishi Hall.

Jishi Hall is the largest pharmacy in Wuling City, established as a chain.

Its pharmacies are present in almost every bustling neighborhood.

Lin Zheyu arrived at the Jishi Hall in the city center, which is the largest of all the pharmacies, with the most complete selection of medicinal herbs.

"Shopkeeper, are there any prescriptions here for cultivating fierce beasts and enhancing their Qi Blood Essence?"

"The stronger the medicinal effect, the better; I don’t care about side effects. As long as the price is low and the effect strong, even if the side effects are as severe as poison, it’s fine."

Lin Zheyu asked directly and straightforwardly.

When enhancing with Source Power, there’s no need to consume the medicinal soup physically; no matter how strong the side effects, there’s no need to worry.

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper revealed a knowing smile, which made Lin Zheyu feel somewhat puzzled.

’Could there be some special function to this prescription?’ Lin Zheyu wondered but did not ask.

"You’ve come to the right place, dear customer."

"This shop has a prescription with potent medicine, so powerful that even a fierce beast in the Bone Marrow Refining Realm can’t bear it."

"This prescription came from a certain village."

"It’s said that that village captured demons, trying to study the secrets of their power."

"Later, the imprisoned demons went berserk, escaped their control, and slaughtered the entire village."

"This prescription came from that village and was used to cultivate and enhance the demons."

"As for the specific effects, I am not aware. Secretly raising demons is a serious crime, punishable by death."

The shopkeeper laughed, ceasing his speech.

He looked up and down at Lin Zheyu, silently smiling without speaking.

Lin Zheyu sensibly took out one ounce of gold from his pocket, handed it over, and said with a smile, "Interesting...."

"But I’m only interested in cultivating fierce beasts, not demons."

"Can this prescription enhance the Qi Blood of fierce beasts, making them stronger in a short time?" Lin Zheyu asked.

He had a rough understanding of demons.

These creatures have extremely strong Life Force, and they differ from ordinary creatures that rely on blood and Life Essence as energy.

Demons rely on the Yin Evil Force within their bodies.

The energies are entirely different.

For Lin Zheyu, prescriptions useful to demons, especially those meant to enhance the Yin Evil Force, had unknown effects.

Enhancing with Source Power consumes Qi Blood.

If there’s no medicinal power to replenish Qi Blood, it can lead to insufficient energy and depleted Qi Blood.

Lin Zheyu had tried other types of herbs, but the effects were unsatisfactory. Only prescriptions similar to Blood-Nourishing and Bone-Strengthening Soup, which target Qi Blood, were most effective.

As for whether the Yin Evil Force would work, he hadn’t had the chance to test it.

The Yin Evil Force was too hard to obtain.

"Hehe, of course."

"The foundation of a Martial Artist is Qi Blood. Without Qi Blood and Life Essence, if the body is entirely converted into Yin Evil Force, it’s a path to self-destruction."

The shopkeeper said, speaking slower towards the end, as if he was about to refuse further discussion.

Seeing this, Lin Zheyu took out another ounce of gold and handed it over.

The shopkeeper accepted the gold with a slight smile.
