Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Two manuals, both entry-level knowledge, mainly serve to guide beginners and are highly systematic.

It’s not that Lin Zheyu doesn’t want to buy more advanced knowledge, it’s just that the prices are exorbitant.

Just these two tomes already cost him five mid-grade spirit stones, and he couldn’t afford any more.

"Alright, fellow daoist, please wait a moment."

Zhuo Wanfeng smiled faintly and turned to walk towards the Array.

The Array glowed brilliantly as Zhuo Wanfeng disappeared within it, only to reappear a few breaths later.

That Array must have been a Teleportation Array, connected to the Ten Thousand Miles Alliance’s vault for storing valuable items.

"By the way, do you have any Lingxi Balls here?"

Lin Zheyu handed over the spirit stones, took the two jade scrolls inscribed with knowledge, and asked.

He still had the child spheres of Lingxi Balls given by others, but without his own Lingxi Ball, Lin Zheyu couldn’t establish a connection with them.

"We do."

"Lingxi Balls are divided into top, middle, and lower grades. A top-grade Spirit Rhinoceros Ball requires a mid-grade spirit stone and offers the highest confidentiality, binding to the soul without risk of loss, as it can be reissued."

"Mid-grade Lingxi Ball..."

"Give me a top-grade Lingxi Ball."

Lin Zheyu interrupted Zhuo Wanfeng, stating directly.

Information security is extremely important, and there’s no need to skimp on expenses for that.

"A total of eight mid-grade spirit stones, all spent in one day..."

"Next time I see Tuyuan, I definitely have to get a good meal out of him."

Lin Zheyu muttered to himself.

The spirit stones in his pocket hadn’t even warmed up before they were gone; cultivation truly is money-burning.

"Alright."

Zhuo Wanfeng smiled in response, taking out a set of brand-new Lingxi Balls from her storage bag.

"This is a standard Lingxi Ball set, one parent ball with 30 child spheres, input your soul essence after losing it, and it can be reissued."

"Fellow daoist can integrate the jade token into the Lingxi Ball to establish a connection with the Ten Thousand Miles Alliance. Then you can directly query whatever you need through the Lingxi Ball."

Zhuo Wanfeng smiled as she introduced it.

"This jade token can integrate into the Lingxi Ball too?"

Lin Zheyu asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, it can."

"This feature is available only on top-grade Lingxi Balls."

"The Ten Thousand Miles Alliance jade token records unique ciphered restrictions. Once integrated into your own Lingxi Ball, you can query items, post tasks, and accept tasks."

"..."

Zhuo Wanfeng smiled as she explained in great detail.

After hearing this, Lin Zheyu was initially slightly stunned but quickly understood. With methods like Immortal Tao Array Restrictions, accomplishing such feats wasn’t difficult.

Cultivators aren’t all fools; with a little research, they could develop something like the internet from his previous life.

To Lin Zheyu, the Lingxi Ball already had the prototype of the internet.

Under Zhuo Wanfeng’s guidance, Lin Zheyu input his soul essence into the Lingxi Ball, which combined with the Array Restriction text to form a unique cipher.

Then, Lin Zheyu further integrated the jade token into the parent Lingxi Ball, and instantly, a small virtual eagle appeared inside the Lingxi Ball.

This was a unique mark of the Ten Thousand Miles Alliance.

"Fellow daoist, you can try using your Spiritual Sense to touch that virtual image, and you will be able to contact the Ten Thousand Miles Alliance."

Zhuo Wanfeng smiled and said.

Lin Zheyu tried it, his Spiritual Sense entered the eagle’s virtual image, and True Essence flowed into the Lingxi Ball. Instantly, a phantom interface appeared in his consciousness.

The interface included sections for item queries, task posts, task acceptance, and message notifications.

"This world of cultivation is getting more interesting..."

Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness, a hint of an amused smile on his lips.

With a single thought, the message notification section appeared, listing various auction notifications, significant events, and special incidents.

When Lin Zheyu clicked on these messages, he discovered they required payment to view.

Not only did viewing the messages cost money, but also posting tasks and accepting tasks required payment.

Only the item query feature was free.

"How do I recharge this money?"

Lin Zheyu asked Zhuo Wanfeng, a bit speechless.

"You can recharge at any Ten Thousand Miles Alliance shop." Zhuo Wanfeng smiled and said, "Would fellow daoist like to try it?"

Lin Zheyu: "..."

No, I’m poor, goodbye.

"Charge 50 low-grade spirit stones and see."

Lin Zheyu pondered for a moment and said.

He couldn’t resist his curiosity.

"I’m sorry, the minimum recharge is one mid-grade spirit stone."

Lin Zheyu: "..."
