Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises-Chapter 405 - 165: Limit

Inside Wuji Manor.

Lee Yanming exited the courtyard, taking a walk outside.

He observed for a while, and seeing that there was no one around, he slipped into an alley and disappeared.

When he reappeared, it was in the courtyard where the Tang Family resided.

"Zhao Hao has decided to participate in the arena challenge match, which starts this afternoon."

"If you’re planning to take action, arrange it quickly."

"Zhao Hao is very strong, but he is extremely cautious. If he senses something amiss, he is likely to back off immediately."

"Arrange your personnel, and aim to make a single effective strike. Don’t give him the chance to retreat."

Lee Yanming said lightly.

Through his recent observations of Zhao Hao, he found this person to be extremely cautious.

He couldn’t understand how someone who had condensed a Tyrant True Intent Seed could have such a cautious character.

Later, Lee Yanming indirectly learned from Lee Mengqi and Lee Mengxi’s conversations that this guy practiced the Turtle Breath True Skill.

Moreover, his cultivation progressed unusually fast, with a profound understanding of the Turtle Breath True Intent.

He directly suppressed the influence of the Tyrant True Intent Seed on his character.

"Thank you for informing us, my friend."

"As for what we promised your esteemed young miss, we will send it to your residence the day after we deal with Zhao Hao." Tang Weizhong cupped his hands and said.

Lee Yanming gave him a contemptuous smile, ignoring the subtleties in his words.

"This is Calamity Wood Vine Fragrance; it’s non-toxic, colorless, and odorless."

"Combined with the Red Dream Orchid, it will produce another kind of potent poison."

"Though the poison won’t kill a Martial Artist in the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, it can impede their Qi Blood circulation."

"Recently, Red Dream Orchid has been added to Zhao Hao’s daily food. You just need to carry the Calamity Wood Vine Fragrance on you to activate its properties."

"It takes about half an incense stick’s time for the properties to take effect, so you need to prepare in advance."

Lee Yanming tossed a leather pouch filled with poisonous powder and spoke lightly.

After speaking, he turned and left.

"Calamity Wood Vine Fragrance, this is something rare. That woman is truly generous."

Tang Weizhong held the poison pouch, a smile playing on his lips.

With this, things became much easier.

...

Golden light descended.

Illuminating Lin Zheyu’s excited face.

For an ordinary person to use the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill twice in succession would likely destroy their Martial Dao foundation.

Not to mention continuing their cultivation.

Only Lin Zheyu could rely on the powerful effects of Source Power to keep cultivating.

Once he entered the consciousness space, the damage caused to his Martial Dao foundation by the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill would be instantly restored.

Thus, allowing him the chance to continue cultivating.

After using the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill twice, most of the Life Essence within Lin Zheyu was sealed.

The total amount of Qi Blood is closely related to Life Essence and potential; after being sealed, his overall vitality plummeted repeatedly.

Now, the Qi Blood he cultivated is less than one-tenth of his peak.

[Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence]

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 32

Skills:

Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill (Perfection)

Turtle Breath True Skill (Sixth Layer 0%)

Golden Swan Skill (Tenth Layer 100%)

Purple Thunder Tyrant Fist (Seventh Layer 100%)

Spiritual Mysterious Body Skill (Fifth Layer 100%)

Purple Thunder Blood Coagulation Skill (First Layer 48%)

"Previously, when using Source Power to enhance, it averaged about a 5% progress increment per unit of Source Power."

"After stacking the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill twice, progress increased directly to about 9%, almost doubling!"

Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but marvel.

If it weren’t so exhausting to use the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill twice, making a third time impossible, he would have wanted to stack it once more.

The Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill is quite mysterious.

When fully activated, it locks a large amount of Life Essence, Vitality, Potential, and Qi Blood for future use, to be unleashed after the body ages or when facing a powerful enemy.

It essentially sacrifices current combat strength for future use.

While running the secret technique, it damages the potential of the Martial Dao foundation, causing the total amount of Qi Blood to significantly decrease even after recultivation.

But this also brings a benefit.

It’s much easier for a small amount of Qi Blood to undergo a qualitative change than for all of it to do so.

Once a small amount of Qi Blood undergoes qualitative change, its essence is upgraded and won’t degenerate by mixing with the lower-tier Qi Blood locked by the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill.

Otherwise, Martial Artists would need to completely exhaust their Qi Blood each time and then recultivate from scratch.

It’s called a qualitative change because once it occurs, the Qi Blood fundamentally transforms.

Even if the energy of the Qi Blood is sparse, it has gone through nine qualitative changes.

"No, I can’t stack the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill a third time."

Having attempted for a while, Lin Zheyu completely abandoned the idea of stacking it a third time.

Twice was already his limit.

A third time, he felt his body wouldn’t withstand it and would collapse unpredictably.

"Let’s see what happens when the effects of stacking the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill twice are lifted, and how it impacts the total Qi Blood."

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

He took a deep breath, quickly formed seals with his hands, and tapped onto various acupoints on his body.

As the cultivation technique operated, the vast Qi Blood and Life Energy within his acupoints made Lin Zheyu’s face become incredibly rosy.

"Again!"

After unlocking the first layer of the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill, he didn’t stop his seals, quickly forming them again, guiding the energy of life through all major acupoints.

Once the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill was lifted, the energy that had been sealed surged out instantly, but it was just a fleeting moment.

Since the Martial Dao foundation had been damaged, if he didn’t quickly repair it, the energy would eventually dissipate entirely.

Boom!

As the last layer was unlocked, even more vast life energy mixed with Qi Blood streamed out wildly, with a faint rumbling sound as the Qi Blood surged.
