Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Outside the Lei Family City.

The maid smiled as she looked at Lin Zheyu, who was immersed in shock, her expression full of pride and self-satisfaction.

The first time cultivators visit the Lei Family City, they are almost always stunned by the calligraphy on the city gate plaque, overflowing with arrogant and dominating meaning.

Whoosh~

After a long time, Lin Zheyu exhaled deeply and snapped out of his reverie.

So terrifying.

The person who left these writings had a power that was unimaginable.

"Sir, this way please!"

Seeing Lin Zheyu recover from his shock, the maid spoke at just the right moment.

Lin Zheyu nodded slightly, returning to his calm demeanor.

The guards at the city gate were extremely strict, equipped not only with array restrictions but also with a team of cultivators led by Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed at the gate.

The maid presented her identity token, allowing the two to pass through the gate and enter the city.

As they crossed the threshold of the gate, Lin Zheyu sensed a barely detectable energy membrane, separating the outside from the inside like two different worlds.

’Hiss~’

’Such dense heaven and earth spiritual energy!’

Lin Zheyu drew in a sharp breath of surprise, feeling immensely astonished.

The heaven and earth spiritual energy outside the city was already ten times more concentrated than outside of the Cyan Dragon Realm.

And within the Lei Family City, the spiritual energy’s concentration was ten times stronger than outside the city.

In such a dense spiritual energy environment, Lin Zheyu felt incredibly comfortable, his pores involuntarily relaxing and opening.

Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but begin actively absorbing the heaven and earth spiritual energy.

His lackluster cultivation talent, within such rich spiritual energy, displayed unexpectedly decent breathing effects.

’If one grew up in such a favorable spiritual environment, how could they worry about failing in cultivation?’

Lin Zheyu muttered to himself.

He carefully observed the maid beside him.

The efficiency with which the maid exchanged spiritual particles with the outside world was much slower than his.

Which meant, in terms of cultivation talent, the maid was even less gifted than Lin Zheyu.

But thanks to living in such a dense spiritual energy environment, constantly nurtured by it, the maid still managed to cultivate to the Qi Cultivation Third Layer.

"Does everyone living in the Lei Family City belong to the Lei Family?"

Lin Zheyu asked.

He curiously scrutinized this so-called cultivation city, noting the architecture which exuded an air of elegant opulence amidst ancient simplicity.

From above, the Lei Family City was vast, nearly comparable to Bafang City in the Southern Barbarians.

If everyone in the city were from the Lei Family.

The number of Lei Family members would be terrifyingly large.

"You could say that, but it’s not entirely accurate."

"The residents of the Lei Family City not only include members of the main and branch lines of the Lei Family, but also cultivation families and sect forces that are attached to the Lei Family."

"These forces together form this vast Lei Family City."

The maid straightened her chest, her expression carrying a hint of proud satisfaction.

As if the strength of the Lei Family was somehow her own pride.

"There don’t seem to be many people."

"In such a large city, why aren’t there many people visible?"

Lin Zheyu curiously scanned the surrounding streets and buildings, asking with some confusion.

"This is the Outer City District, where ordinary people live. It’s work time now, so most are out in the fields working."

"Once we enter the Inner City District, it’ll be much livelier."

"In the Inner City District, you will not only find members of the Lei Family and families under their banner, but also cultivators from other cities; it’s bustling with activity."

The maid’s face radiated with pride as she spoke sweetly.

Lin Zheyu nodded in understanding.

"Mr. Xiao, the Yuanfeng Tower is still a distance away, and since we can’t fly, we’ll have to use Light Body Talismans for aid."

From her storage pouch, the maid took out two Light Body Talismans, handing one over with a gentle explanation.

"I don’t need it; you can save it for later."

Lin Zheyu gently shook his head.

"Yes, sir."

The maid replied respectfully, putting away one of the Light Body Talismans.

She couldn’t discern Lin Zheyu’s true power, but since he could become a distinguished guest of Miss Lei Yunshu, his strength must certainly be similar to hers.

Miss Yun Shu had recently advanced to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Even within the Lei Family, the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment was a formidable pillar.

And being a guest of Miss Yun Shu, one’s power is at least at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment or above.

The maid affixed the Light Body Talisman to herself, spoke a word to Lin Zheyu, then moved at nearly twice the speed of sound, swiftly heading toward the Inner City District.

"This Light Body Talisman is fascinating, allowing a Qi Cultivation Third Layer cultivator to achieve such speed," Lin Zheyu remarked with interest.

Qi Cultivation Third Layer’s strength isn’t very high; it’s comparable to Martial Artists just entering the Qi Blood Realm.

Allowing a cultivator at this level to burst with twice the speed of sound truly speaks to the extraordinary quality of the Light Body Talisman the maid used just now.

It was far superior to the inferior talismans sold outside.

Lin Zheyu curiously observed the energy flow around the maid, noting some subtle intricacies.

Though he hadn’t studied talismans, with Lin Zheyu’s current level, strength, and vision, deciphering the workings of a low-level talisman like the Light Body Talisman was quite straightforward.

However, understanding doesn’t mean he could create talismans.

Lin Zheyu could only borrow the principle of energy flow in the Light Body Talisman and see if he could adapt it for his own use.

"Interesting, its energy utilization efficiency is much higher than the cultivation technique I’ve optimized many times over, ’Shrinking the Ground Into an Inch’."

"It seems I should consider buying some low-level classic talismans to study."

"Not just talismans, arrays, and restrictions could work too."
