Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

...

"300 medium-grade Spirit Stones, this is really my limit."

"If that’s not acceptable to you, then forget it, I..."

Lin Zheyu checked the information on the Lingxi Ball, smiled slightly, and casually replied with a message: "Okay."

Tu Yuan: "..."

Seeing this reply, Tu Yuan was so angry he felt like cursing.

"This guy, could it be that he really discovered the hidden secret within that thing?"

Tu Yuan’s expression fluctuated, his brow furrowing slightly.

He decided to let Lin Zheyu wait for a bit longer, perhaps the other party was bluffing him.

"Two high-grade Spirit Stones, really daring to think."

"Damn it, if not for this thing being extremely important for me to validate my Golden Core, I, I..."

Tu Yuan’s expression was extremely unsightly.

Had he known earlier, he wouldn’t have brought that Magical Artifact into the Demon God Barrier back then.

Tu Yuan initially thought that the artifact was strong, not inferior to his Lifebound Magical Artifact, bringing it in could help him massively slay demons, accumulating demonic blood aura.

Who would have thought, feeling the thrill of the hunt, he planned to resume his old profession, planning to seize the treasure.

He never expected not to get the treasure, but instead almost lost it.

He actually fell at the hands of a Martial Artist.

And one who hadn’t even reached the Shackled Realm.

This was something Tu Yuan never expected.

"Ji Zitong..."

Tu Yuan gritted his teeth. If it weren’t for Ji Zitong making a move back then, he might not have been caught by Lin Zheyu.

Martial Realm.

Lin Zheyu saw that Tu Yuan hadn’t replied again, smiled slightly, and didn’t pay any more attention.

Lin Zheyu confirmed that Tu Yuan’s storage bag certainly had something extremely important to him, otherwise he wouldn’t have raised the price to 300 medium-grade Spirit Stones.

Such a high price could buy a top-quality Foundation Establishment Magical Artifact in the Cultivation Marketplace.

"Senior, this is your Identity Token."

In the great hall, a Martial Artist in the Grandmaster Realm respectfully handed over the finished token.

"Thank you."

Lin Zheyu accepted the token with a smile and thanked him.

"You’re welcome, senior, it’s my duty." The Grandmaster Martial Artist quickly responded.

"Now, you are officially a member of the Martial Alliance."

"After joining the Martial Alliance, each member must pay 100 lower-grade Spirit Stones annually, and if you want to exchange resources, secret manuals, or cultivation techniques, aside from Spirit Stones, you’ll also need contribution points."

"For some of the more precious secret manuals and resources, besides contribution points, you also need a certain status and position."

Bai Lin explained some of the rules within the Martial Alliance to Lin Zheyu.

Although the Martial Alliance is loose, it still has many rules and constraints, otherwise it wouldn’t be able to grow into a force equal to the three major Ancient Martial Families and break free from their control and become independent.

"So what do I need to do?"

Lin Zheyu inquired.

"For now, you don’t need to do anything, let’s first decide your position."

"Within the Martial Alliance, there is the Alliance Leader, the Elder Council, and thirteen halls, beneath the thirteen halls are various organizational departments, but given your strength, you won’t have to concern yourself with those."

"Currently, the vice leader positions in Cyan Wood Hall and Martial Hall are vacant; you might consider running for election." Bai Lin suggested.

"I just joined the Martial Alliance, and I can run for vice leader?"

Lin Zheyu was surprised, this seemed a bit casual?

"Of course, not right away."

"But with Mr. Xiao’s strength, it would be easy to qualify for election in a short time."

"To run for vice leader, the main criteria are strength and contributions, strength being the toughest requirement, and your strength already meets that."

"As for contributions, with your strength, after a few months of effort, you’ll have enough. The contribution needed for vice leader isn’t high, just 1000 points."

Bai Lin explained with a smile.

He himself held the position of vice leader, and after advancing to the Shackled Realm, could run for Hall Master.

"That seems quite good."

"But what are the benefits of becoming a vice leader?"

Lin Zheyu pondered for a moment and asked, not being swayed by Bai Lin’s few words.

"Benefits huh..."

"After becoming a vice leader, every month you can receive contribution points and Spirit Stones, as well as have many privileges for exchanging books and resources."

"If you’re just an ordinary Martial Alliance member, even if you have many Spirit Stones, you can only exchange for some ordinary resources, and the prices are just slightly cheaper than the Cultivation Marketplace."

Bai Lin explained.

"Then I indeed need to strive for it."

After understanding clearly, Lin Zheyu realized the importance of the position.

Even if the Martial Alliance is loose, without enough contributions and the corresponding identity, one cannot freely exchange those precious resources and secret manuals.

"Haha, congratulations Mr. Bai, soon we’ll have to address you as Mr. Bai."

As the two headed towards Lin Zheyu’s residence, a burly and bearded man approached, laughing heartily towards Bai Lin.

He glanced at Lin Zheyu beside Bai Lin, sized him up, and curiously asked: "This friend seems unfamiliar, is he new?"

"This is Mr. Xiao, who just joined the Martial Alliance, his strength is very strong, much stronger than mine, perhaps you guys can spar when you have time."

"Mr. Xiao, this is Mr. Qiu, one of the three vice leaders of Martial Hall I mentioned before."

Bai Lin introduced with a smile.

"Hello Mr. Qiu!"

"Hello Mr. Xiao!"

Lin Zheyu and Qiu Kun greeted each other.

Qiu Kun curiously scrutinized Lin Zheyu, itching to try, if Bai Lin recognized him, his strength must be remarkable.

"The time is still early, Mr. Xiao, are you interested in a duel?"

Qiu Kun grinned, filled with battle intent, looking at Lin Zheyu.

"Mr. Xiao just joined the Martial Alliance, he should first get familiar, find a place to stay, let’s leave the duel for another day."

Bai Lin said somewhat helplessly.
