Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises-Chapter 336 - 143: Qi and Blood Melting Furnace (Part 2)
In the silent mountain forest, there was a rustling sound.
The bright moonlight spilled down, and from time to time a deep beastly roar echoed through the forest.
Lin Zheyu, accompanied by Xiaohei, strolled through the forest.
They had been advancing for several hours, entering deep into the mountains.
"Xiaohei, don’t run around, the beasts here seem extremely terrifying."
Lin Zheyu caught the playful Xiaohei and reminded it sternly.
He fully activated the Turtle Breath Skill, suppressing his aura to the minimum and sprinkled medicinal powder to drive away any living scent.
To prevent drawing the attention of the fierce beasts.
This unknown forest had a high density of fierce beasts, no less than when outside Songyi City at Beast Roar Mountain.
This place was very far from Wuling City, and even a martial artist took several hours to come and go.
Ordinary people would probably take a whole day.
No martial artist would choose to hunt here.
Even Lin Zheyu would not choose to hunt far from the market at the foot of the mountain.
Otherwise, it would take great effort to carry the hunted beasts out, back and forth, too unprofitable.
Chirp chirp~~
Xiaohei patted its belly and pointed to its mouth, indicating it was hungry and wanted to eat.
Lin Zheyu glanced at it speechlessly and knocked on its head hard.
"Eat, eat, eat, that’s all you know."
"The danger here is unknown. At night, no lighting fires, go practice your fist skills." Lin Zheyu scolded.
Seeing Xiaohei unmoved, he couldn’t help kicking it away.
Hiss!!
Xiaohei let out a dissatisfied cry.
Seeing Lin Zheyu staring intently at it, Xiaohei suddenly felt intimidated.
Unwillingly, it stood up and began practicing the Wild Bull Fist stance Lin Zheyu had taught it.
Lin Zheyu wasn’t sure if practicing this was effective for Xiaohei.
Still, it was better than doing nothing.
This lazy little guy, other than eating and sleeping, would be better off practicing a fist skill that might be useless.
Lin Zheyu sat cross-legged to activate the Turtle Breath Skill for recovery, though he dared not enter deep sleep mode.
Although he had already checked the surroundings with no powerful beasts, in an unfamiliar forest, it was necessary to maintain enough vigilance.
Time slowly passed.
The bright moonlight shone through the gaps in the leaves.
Xiaohei practiced for more than an hour, then stopped and lay down beside Lin Zheyu, beginning to snore into sleep.
Deep into the night.
Roar!
Suddenly, from the distant depths of the mountains, came the angry roar of a fierce beast.
The sound was so loud that it awoke Lin Zheyu from his rest instantly.
Hiss!!
Xiaohei also awoke, letting out a low, fearful growl, its fur standing on end, ready to attack.
If Lin Zheyu weren’t beside it, it might have bolted away straight away.
"What terrifying might!"
Lin Zheyu’s eyes narrowed slightly.
The beastly roar came from a distance, estimated to be several kilometers away.
Yet, even from such a distance, he could still feel the terrifying will within the sound.
If close, just this single beastly roar could stun a weak-willed Qi Blood Realm martial artist.
"Such a powerful beast hidden in this mountain range, what kind of strength does it have!"
Lin Zheyu was slightly astonished.
He knew that the deep mountains and forests harbored terrifying beasts, but not to this extent.
Even if he used the Blood Boiling Secret Skill, Lin Zheyu wasn’t confident he could escape from the beast that made that sound.
Whoosh——
A gentle breeze blew, bringing a slight chill.
Lin Zheyu calmed himself, staying vigilant to the surroundings.
After that terrifying beastly roar, the forest once again returned to peace, with no signs of fighting or more roars.
Lin Zheyu found it strange.
He was curious about the roar’s origin, but he had no intention of investigating it.
Curiosity not only killed the cat but also gets people hurt.
Lin Zheyu waited for twenty more minutes silently, confirming no danger, then continued to sit cross-legged to activate the Turtle Breath Skill for recovery.
Come morning.
The forest was shrouded in mist.
A dew drop fell from the tree, landing on Lin Zheyu’s forehead.
He slowly got up and stretched his muscles.
After a night’s recovery, his spirit was quite restored, though still far from peak, but he could use Source Power to enhance the Qianyuan Skill·Modified without any problem.
"Xiaohei, go gather some firewood."
Lin Zheyu patted the sleeping Xiaohei, instructing it.
Around them lay the corpses of two fierce beasts. These two beasts had been passing by last night when he killed them.
He pondered for a moment, feeling the meat from beasts dead for several hours would be unappetizing, so he instructed again, "Catch another beast."
Hearing it could have roast meat, Xiaohei’s sleepy eyes suddenly lit up, quickly darting off out of sight.
"Once we finish eating the roast meat, let’s look for a cave nearby that’s suitable for living."
Lin Zheyu said to himself.
He didn’t plan to advance further; the sudden beastly roar last night made him feel the threat.
This place was far from Wuling City, desolate, and with Xiaohei here, the sprawling mountains offered low chances of being discovered.
Lin Zheyu planned to stay in the forest for three to four days, use the three sets of medicinal herbs to boost his strength, then return.
He took out a small knife from his pack.
This was obtained from a martial artist of the Tang Family.
Lin Zheyu held the small knife, forcefully striking a nearby large tree.
The knife sunk into the tree trunk with a thud.
"What a blunt knife..."
Lin Zheyu felt strong resistance as if wielding a dull knife against the tree.
He toyed with it for a long time, unable to figure out what was special about this black iron knife that the martial artist from the Tang Family had kept so closely.
