Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Lin Zheyu shook his head.

Executing a task is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and who knows how much time will be wasted.

Lin Zheyu was worried about the threat from that old guy, Fan Hongwei, and he didn’t want to waste time on tasks.

"But all the other Deputy Hall Masters are already assigned tasks, only you can take this one," the young Martial Artist said with some difficulty.

"Ask the Hall Master to borrow some manpower from another hall, I truly am at a crucial point right now and can’t leave."

"If the Hall Master blames anyone, tell him to come to me."

Lin Zheyu shook his head and firmly refused.

At his current stage, retreating into seclusion for cultivation for half a year or even several years is very common.

Therefore, according to the Martial Alliance’s regulations, one only needs to complete a certain number of tasks within a specific time and earn the corresponding points.

There’s no strict rule that one must accept a specific task.

"Yes, sir."

The young Martial Artist had no choice but to respond and turned to leave.

Lin Zheyu glanced at the departing figure but didn’t think much of it.

However, he pondered for a moment, then turned to continue cultivating.

Having just mentioned cultivation being at a critical period, how awkward would it be to be seen outside wandering by the Hall Master?

Time flew by, and several days passed.

Since refusing the Hall Master’s task, they didn’t send someone to seek him again.

Having almost exhausted his stock of Spirit Stones, Lin Zheyu stopped cultivating the Purple Sky Returning Storage Skill.

During these days, Lin Zheyu was fully immersed in Array Dao and Martial Dao, reaching the point of neglecting sleep and meals.

One afternoon.

Lin Zheyu came back to himself from his insights and found new messages on the Lingxi Ball.

They were from Ji Zitong.

Lin Zheyu replied to a few messages and agreed to meet Ji Zitong at the Profound Light Tower the next day.

The second day.

Profound Light Tower.

Lin Zheyu booked a private room early, waiting for Ji Zitong’s arrival.

He didn’t have to wait long.

Knock knock knock~~

There was the sound of knocking at the door.

His Spiritual Sense moved slightly, and the room door opened automatically.

"Long time no see, Mr. Ji."

"And who might this be?"

Lin Zheyu greeted with a smile, looking at the woman next to Ji Zitong.

She was a very beautiful woman, standing quietly beside Ji Zitong, with a slight faint smile on her face.

She wore a bright red long dress, slightly tight-fitting, accentuating her fiery figure.

"I am Tu Mingzhen, nice to meet you, Mr. Xiao."

The woman stepped forward voluntarily, smiling and introducing herself.

Tu Mingzhen?

The Tu Family?

Lin Zheyu heard this name and his expression showed a slight change.

"So it’s Fellow Daoist Tu Mingzhen, please come in."

Lin Zheyu quickly reacted, smilingly inviting Ji Zitong and Tu Mingzhen into the private room.

"It has been several months since our last meeting, Mr. Ji’s strength is increasingly unfathomable."

Lin Zheyu looked at Ji Zitong, smilingly saying.

"Fortuitously attained the Six-Stripe Golden Elixir, I’m sorry if it’s lacking,"

Ji Zitong smiled gently, shaking his head.

The Six-Stripe Golden Elixir, seen by other cultivators as high and unreachable, seemed somewhat unsatisfactory in Ji Zitong’s eyes.

Though Lei Yongtao is still in seclusion, he has a very high chance of attaining the Seven-Thunder Pattern Golden Elixir successfully.

While her talent is no less than Lei Yongtao’s, she only attained the Six-Stripe Golden Elixir.

Upon breaking seclusion, Ji Zitong felt somewhat disappointed.

"The Golden Elixir Inscription only stands for past efforts. What achievements can be accomplished in the future isn’t merely determined by a Golden Elixir Inscription."

"Cultivation is about seeking immortality, defying is immortal, yielding is mortal."

"This itself is an act against the heavens, focusing too much on the Golden Elixir Inscription is a bit short-sighted."

Lin Zheyu noticed the trace of melancholy and disappointment hidden behind Ji Zitong’s smile, thus spoke with a smile.

Words spoken unintentionally, yet the listener took them to heart.

Ji Zitong’s expression briefly froze, the smile at the corner of her mouth stiffening, a complex feeling surged in her heart.

She exhaled deeply, revealing a look of relief.

"Indeed, I’ve been too attached to appearances."

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for enlightening me. I owe you a favor."

Ji Zitong suddenly beamed with a radiant smile, her whole being like a blooming flower, beautiful and charming.

"Haha, you’re too kind, Mr. Ji."

"Everyone understands this principle, you just hadn’t seen through it temporarily," Lin Zheyu waved his hand, said with a smile.

Quietly sitting aside, Tu Mingzhen heard Lin Zheyu’s previous words, and internally felt quite touched.

She is also a genius.

For the sake of attaining the Eight-Stripe Golden Elixir, and even higher Nine-Striped Golden Elixir, she had been hesitant to advance.

"Mr. Xiao, haven’t we met before?"

After chatting with Ji Zitong for a bit, Lin Zheyu turned to look at Tu Mingzhen, asking with a seemingly unsmiling expression.

Tu Mingzhen, the Tu Family.

Lin Zheyu couldn’t help recalling the time with a mysterious cultivator linked with Tu Yuan.

"That cultivator last time was me."

Tu Mingzhen nodded, directly and frankly admitting.

Lin Zheyu was quite surprised.

Is this person so straightforward?
