Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

The broken Dongtian World.

This is the Cultivation Marketplace managed by Lingyun Pavilion.

Inside the great hall.

Two elders sat opposite each other, smiling as they sipped spirit tea.

One had white hair and a beard, looking otherworldly, like an Immortal. The other wore a green robe, smiling warmly, seemingly like an ordinary old man.

"This Illusory Sea Spirit Tea is good, get me some later."

The elder in green robes said with a smile.

"No."

Fan Hongwei rolled his eyes and said irritably.

This Illusory Sea Spirit Tea was something he intercepted from the unsold items of Lingyun Pavilion by taking advantage of his position.

It’s a rare treasure, something hard to come by.

"Such a miser."

"So old yet still so stingy." The elder in green robes pursed his lips and said.

"Heh heh."

Fan Hongwei chuckled lightly, not wanting to argue.

The elder in green robes was named Ling Feng. Fan Hongwei and he had been friends for over a hundred years, and Fan Hongwei knew exactly what kind of person he was dealing with.

"Your Magical Artifact has been refined, hasn’t it? Why aren’t you setting off?"

Ling Feng chuckled, changing the topic.

"I’m still waiting for one more person."

"A year ago, I discovered a promising young man, with strong spiritual perception, possibly awakened some special spiritual divine technique."

"If we have his help this time, the chances of success will be much higher."

Fan Hongwei said leisurely, sipping his tea.

"Spiritual divine technique?"

"The suppression on the Divine Soul is severe there, ordinary spiritual divine techniques wouldn’t be of use, right?" Ling Feng said doubtfully.

Last time, it was he and Fan Hongwei, along with several others, who ventured in together, so Ling Feng was very familiar with that Secret Realm.

"That depends on what kind of spiritual divine technique it is."

"That young man is a Martial Artist, most likely awakened a special ability after accessing his Spiritual Treasure."

"I tested, even when I blocked spiritual sense detection, he still sensed me."

"The spiritual and soul-warding Magical Treasures on him weren’t triggered, he obviously awakened a physical divine technique."

Fan Hongwei said leisurely.

This kind of person is rare among Martial Artists.

Had it not been for a fortunate coincidence that led him to discover Lin Zheyu, Fan Hongwei was ready to give up altogether.

"Oh?"

"If that’s the case, that hurdle shouldn’t be too much of an issue then."

Ling Feng was slightly taken aback, then smiled.

Under Fan Hongwei’s discontent glare, he poured more of the new Illusory Sea Spirit Tea, using rootless water for a fresh brew.

"What are you glaring at? The previous pot of tea had no flavor left, you stingy old man, too tight-fisted to switch it out."

Ling Feng said displeased.

Pouring himself a cup, he continued, "Since you found the guy, knowing your style, you must’ve already marked him, why not just grab him directly?"

"He hid in Flame Martial City and won’t come out."

Fan Hongwei said helplessly.

He had been using Secret Techniques these past few days to locate Lin Zheyu’s position, only to find that this young guy was hiding in Flame Martial City and not coming out.

Although the Martial Alliance is just an insignificant force, as the headquarters, Flame Martial City isn’t somewhere a mere Golden Core cultivator like him can act recklessly.

"If he’s hiding in Flame Martial City, that indeed complicates things."

"I do have some connections in the Martial Realm, I’ll have someone keep an eye on him for you for now." Ling Feng said with a smile.

After saying so, he took out the Lingxi Ball and sent a few messages to friends in the Martial Alliance.

"All sorted!"

"I’ve got someone watching him. As soon as he leaves Flame Martial City, news will come, and you can just use your tracking mark to locate him immediately."

Ling Feng smiled slightly, extending his right hand, "I’ve given you such a big help, you should at least give me a pound of Illusory Sea Spirit Tea, right?"

"Get lost."

"It’s not like that Secret Realm has nothing to do with you."

"You old rascal, if you voluntarily give up everything in the Secret Realm, I’d get you ten pounds, not just one."

Fan Hongwei said irritably.

"Ha... Haha... just kidding."

"Take out the Magical Artifact from the Sacrificial Refining and let me have a look to see if there are any oversights." Ling Feng laughed it off.

"Hmph."

Fan Hongwei snorted in irritation, taking out the Magical Artifact that was recently completed from refining.

Old man Ling Feng had profound knowledge in restrictions, just right to give him some advice on his Magical Artifact.

...

"Greetings, Vice Hall Master."

Arriving at the teleportation area, the responsible Martial Artist respectfully greeted.

Many of the patrolling Martial Artists here were members of the Martial Hall.

"Mm."

Lin Zheyu nodded gently in response.

He walked through the square and headed inside.

The location of the Demon Cavern was very far from here, and if he relied solely on his feet to get there, it would take quite a bit of time.

Firstly, Lin Zheyu was worried that any delay could attract that old guy Fan Hongwei.

Secondly, he didn’t want to waste too much time on the road.

Therefore, he planned to use the Long-distance Teleportation Array directly, to teleport to the city closest to the Demon Cavern.

In this age, differing from the ancient times, using the Long-distance Teleportation Array consumed a lot of energy.

Lin Zheyu had inquired; directly teleporting to the city closest to the Demon Cavern was very expensive.

It required five medium-grade Spirit Stones to use once.

At such a high price, except for emergencies or rich cultivators with nowhere to spend their Spirit Stones, very few would choose to use the Long-distance Teleportation Array.

"Prepare, I wish to use the teleportation array to Demon Suppression City."

Lin Zheyu told the guarding Martial Artist.

"Yes, sir."

The guarding Martial Artist responded respectfully.

Demon Suppression City was the Great Wei’s westernmost city, adjacent to the Demon Cavern, and named so because it was garrisoned by one of the Great Wei’s strongest armies, the Demon Suppression Army.
