Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises-Chapter 372 - 155: Seizing the Initiative

...

"Mr. Zhao, not far ahead is the Cangshu Pavilion."

"The Cangshu Pavilion is divided into the inner and outer pavilion. The cultivation techniques in the inner pavilion cannot be passed outside. I can only take you to select from the outer pavilion."

Lee Mengqi pointed to the pavilion ahead and explained.

"Hmm, I understand."

"Obtaining a real technique is satisfying enough for me. If I had to find it myself, it would take a lot of effort."

Lin Zheyu laughed as he spoke.

He originally planned to hide in Wuling City and gradually increase his power to the Qi Blood limit relying on the Qianyuan Skill·Modified.

After breaking through the Marrow Refining Realm, he would then head to Wu’an City to join the Bull Demon Sect or select another suitable sect.

Unexpectedly, fate had other plans, leading him to encounter Lee Mengqi and experience this current happening.

"Mr. Zhao, you’re too kind."

"With Mr. Zhao’s martial arts talent, joining another sect is a very easy feat."

Lee Mengqi shook her head and said with a smile.

The two arrived at the Cangshu Pavilion.

Outside the pavilion, an ordinary elderly man sat in the shade, sipping tea leisurely while looking at his book.

Clearly, he was the expert guarding the Cangshu Pavilion.

Lin Zheyu curiously glanced at the book the old man was reading and coincidentally saw some content on its pages, his expression turned peculiar.

The old man’s book unexpectedly contained illustrations.

Though uncolored, they were depicted with meticulous realism.

Instantly, the image of the elderly expert in his mind collapsed completely.

"Greetings, Mr. Wang."

"I wish to take Mr. Zhao to the outer pavilion to choose a real technique, hoping for your permission." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Lee Mengqi greeted the old man respectfully.

"Mengqi, long time no see. You often neglect to visit an old man like me even when you have leisure time."

Mr. Wang closed his book and said with his eyes narrowed in a smile.

This old man seemed unremarkable, with no presence or aura emanating from him, resembling an ordinary old man who maintained good health and did not practice martial arts.

If he weren’t sitting outside the Cangshu Pavilion in the shade, leisurely sipping tea and reading, Lin Zheyu would have certainly regarded him as a regular person upon encountering him.

"Mengqi has visited several times, it’s just that Mr. Wang wasn’t here."" Lee Mengqi said.

Several elderly men take turns guarding the Cangshu Pavilion, and Mr. Wang is only one of them.

On Lee Mengqi’s previous visits, Mr. Wang happened to be absent.

"That’s quite unfortunate."

"Haven’t seen you in a while, little girl, you’ve made significant progress in strength. Keep up the hard work and aim to advance to the Transforming Force soon."" Mr. Wang laughed heartily.

"Yes, Mr. Wang."

Lee Mengqi responded.

It’s evident she respects Mr. Wang highly.

"Greetings, senior, I am Zhao Hao."

Seeing Mr. Wang looking over, Lin Zheyu stepped forward to greet him.

He didn’t elaborate further, only revealing his alias.

"Is this little fellow the martial artist you recruited?""

"Let me have a look."""

Mr. Wang chuckled, looking at Lin Zheyu with a shrewd gaze.

His eyes were exceedingly sharp, and Lin Zheyu felt uncomfortable, as if he was being seen through.

"What is this old man’s true strength?""

"Can he see through the disguise of my Turtle Breath Skill?""

Lin Zheyu felt a bit tense at heart.

He was utilizing the Turtle Breath Skill to hide his Qi Blood presence fully.

So far, masters at the peak of Marrow Refining Realm, who had even condensed a hint of true force, couldn’t discern his disguise achieved by the Perfection Turtle Breath Skill.

Yet, the elderly figure before him, though indistinguishable, gave Lin Zheyu a feeling of unfathomable depth.

He suspected Mr. Wang to be a Huajin level expert.

Regarding a Grandmaster, there’s a slight possibility, but it’s unlikely.

Though the Lee Family is strong, they aren’t powerful enough to send a Grandmaster to guard the Cangshu Pavilion.

Therefore, Lin Zheyu felt the old man should be at a Huajin level.

"Oh?!"

"Seven Qi Blood transformations, quite a martial talent, not inferior to the little girl Mengqi.""

"Young man, you’ve altered your appearance, haven’t you, would you mind reverting it to your original look for me?""

Mr. Wang’s eyes were extremely keen, though he emitted neither presence nor aura, it was hard for Lin Zheyu to refuse.

Lin Zheyu was startled; he indeed had been discovered.

Mr. Wang not only discerned his appearance disguise but also detected his seven Qi Blood transformations.

But Mr. Wang seemed unable to see through his martial realm.

The difference between the Marrow Refining and Qi Blood realms lay in the abundance of vitality and robust physique, traits Lin Zheyu possessed.

Although Mr. Wang had sharp eyes, he couldn’t merely discern whether he was a Marrow Refining realm martial artist through observation.

"Apologies.""

Lin Zheyu remained silent for a moment, shook his head, and replied.

Exposing his true appearance, given the Lee Family’s influence, might allow them to trace back to his original identity.

Once they discover Lin Zheyu’s real age and martial experience, it would be troublesome.

"The Lee Family’s Cangshu Pavilion isn’t accessible to just anyone. Hiding your head while exposing the tail won’t allow you to enter the Cangshu Pavilion.""

Mr. Wang said indifferently.

Lin Zheyu looked towards Lee Mengqi, surprised by the unexpected situation.

He was certain Lee Mengqi and Lee Mengxi, the siblings, had suspected his disguised identity.

Bringing him to the Cangshu Pavilion indicated it wasn’t an issue.

Unless the Mengqi siblings intended to use this opportunity to uncover Lin Zheyu’s true background.

"Mr. Wang, please stop joking."""

"This Mr. Zhao is my savior, not a martial artist I recruited, and this true cultivation technique is my promised reward to him."""

Lee Mengqi explained with helpless eyes.
