Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

"Compared to the Immortal Dao, the Martial Dao is indeed too difficult, and being abandoned is quite normal."

Lin Zheyu smiled wryly and shook his head slightly.

This journey to the Lei Family City gave him more understanding of the cultivation world.

Although the Immortal Dao has declined, it is not as weak as Lin Zheyu imagined; it remains incredibly powerful.

Moreover, the cultivation of Immortals is much easier than he imagined.

At least before the Foundation Establishment, this is the case.

As long as the Spiritual Energy is dense and one has above-average cultivation potential, it’s extremely easy to cultivate to the Qi Cultivation Third Layer.

Lei Yunshu’s maid already possessed the strength of the Qi Cultivation Third Layer.

And the Qi Cultivation Third Layer, when placed in the context of the Martial Dao, is equivalent to the level of a Transforming Force Martial Artist.

To advance in Martial Dao to the level of Transforming Force, one must pass through the thresholds of Qi Blood, Bone Marrow Cultivation, and comprehending the true meaning of Martial Dao, which eliminates many people, layer by layer.

Not to mention the subsequent Grandmaster, Innate, and even the Divine Treasure levels.

Even if many practice martial arts, once truly screened, it’s estimated that at the Grandmaster level, the number of people is fewer than those with average cultivation talent.

"By the way."

"Not long ago, I saw cultivators entering relics to seek out deceased Golden Core cultivators and seize the Golden Cores from their bodies."

"According to them, these Golden Cores can help bypass qualification restrictions and achieve the Golden Core certification."

"I am on the Immortal Martial path and know very little about Immortals. Yun Shu, is there such a saying in the Immortal Dao?"

Lin Zheyu asked.

He had long wanted to inquire about this issue but was wary of being too abrupt and couldn’t find the right opportunity.

Lin Zheyu had no money, but he had two Golden Cores!

Once he verifies that selling the Golden Cores won’t cause trouble, Lin Zheyu plans to sell them for Spirit Stones instead.

The greatest use of the Golden Core, for him, is to perceive the Sword Intent contained within it, and secondly, as energy when increasing his Source Power.

However, as energy, it’s the least cost-effective choice.

And now, having comprehended the Sword Intent left by Mu Jianli and created the Seven Extremes Blade, the Sword Intent contained within is no longer of much value to him.

Therefore, selling these two Golden Cores for Spirit Stones is the most profitable choice.

"Well, there is indeed such a saying."

"However, this is not the orthodox Golden Core path; it’s considered a side path, and what is cultivated cannot be called a true Golden Core, but only a False Core."

"Once you take the path of the False Core, your future is completely cut off, with no chance of achieving the true Golden Core."

"But those who choose this path do so because they recognize reality, knowing they lack the talent to advance to the Golden Core, so they choose this road."

"Perhaps I might walk this path in the future."

Lei Yunshu said a bit forlornly.

Given the strength of the Lei family, as long as the level is reached and there is enough talent, obtaining qualification for the true Golden Core is extremely easy.

Lei Yunshu was just a bit lacking in self-confidence and was somewhat lost about the future.

"Why belittle yourself, Daoyou Yunshu? In times of chaos, heroes arise; now that chaos is stirring, it’s a time of great change, with opportunities emerging one after another."

"With your fortune, what the future holds is still unknown."

Lin Zheyu said softly.

These were his heartfelt words. The times create heroes; although chaotic and filled with crises, they also breed opportunities and contain potential.

"Thank you for your kind words."

Lei Yunshu said with a light smile.

"By the way, is there anywhere in the Lei Family City that buys back Golden Cores?"

"Xiao here stumbled upon a Golden Core by chance and can’t find a suitable opportunity to sell it."

Lin Zheyu turned to the main topic.

After accompanying Lei Yunshu through the market of the Lei Family City, Lin Zheyu had not seen anyone selling or buying Golden Cores.

According to Lei Yunshu, taking the path of the False Core isn’t something that’s universally denounced.

But he only mentioned having one, not two.

The value of a Golden Core is incredibly high, just its ability to help one achieve a False Core, is extraordinary.

Wealth can arouse desired. Although he had some understanding of Lei Yunshu’s character, knowing her disposition, one can never be too cautious with others.

"A Golden Core!"

Lei Yunshu exclaimed softly, her eyes full of surprise.

Golden Cores aren’t easy to obtain; they must be either seized from a Golden Core cultivator or found on the corpse of a Golden Core cultivator in ancient relics.

In ancient times, when the world changed drastically, many sects and forces were obliterated in an instant, and most of the cultivators couldn’t escape in time.

The numbers of deceased Golden Cores and Nascent Souls are countless.

But finding the corpse of a Golden Core expert in relics is not an easy task.

Those relics still undiscovered, or those discovered but with untaken treasures inside, are all extremely dangerous relics.

Few who enter them survive.

That group relied on Tu Xihao’s innate strong sense of danger to successfully emerge alive from the perilous relics.

However, they were also lucky to find the corpse of a Golden Core cultivator on the outskirts of the relic without venturing too deep.

Otherwise, even with Tu Xihao’s strong perception of danger, it would be difficult to come out alive.

"Was it obtained from relics?"

Lei Yunshu pondered for a moment, then cautiously looked around, and asked cautiously.

It seems that Golden Cores obtained from relics and those not obtained from relics are two different concepts.

"It should be."

Lin Zheyu replied, somewhat uncertainly.
