Immortality Begins With Internal Breathing

Lin Zheyu read through the Evernight Slumber Secret Art with great interest. This technique was a secret art developed by a powerful senior martial artist through studying the slumbering abilities of various powerful exotic beasts and ferocious beasts.

"This is a very interesting technique. Once mastered, it would also grant powerful concealment abilities." Lin Zheyu felt a surge of joy, having finally found a useful technique.

The Evernight Slumber Secret Art was discovered in the incomplete technique section. Cultivating this technique required the assistance of powerful secret medicines. They would be applied externally to temper the body and taken internally to alter bodily constitution. Supplemented by the practice of the Evernight Slumber Secret Art, this allowed a martial artist to gain beast-like slumbering abilities, enabling them to endure long years through slumber without dying.

According to the technique's description, if cultivated to its peak, it could theoretically allow a martial artist to slumber for decades while consuming less than one-tenth of their lifespan. It was exceedingly profound. Such a peculiar and powerful secret art being placed in the incomplete technique section naturally had its reasons. Although the secret medicines required to cultivate the Evernight Slumber Secret Art could all be purchased, the side effects caused by cultivating this secret art were far too terrifying.

Using various powerful secret medicines to forcibly alter one's constitution would damage a martial artist's innate physique, harm their martial cultivation foundation, and bring about terrifying side effects. It would not only cause a decline in strength but also shorten a martial artist's lifespan. Although the lifespan extension gained indirectly through slumber by using the Evernight Slumber Secret Art was powerful, when compared to the reduced lifespan and greatly diminished strength caused by cultivating the technique, it was not worth the cost. This made it an extremely impractical technique.

This truly is a fine technique. If cultivated and enhanced using Origin Force, it should be possible to preserve the constitutional traits while restoring the damage caused during cultivation.

This technique was something ordinary martial artists could not cultivate, but he was different. With Origin Force, he could ignore all bodily damage brought about by techniques. Techniques on the first floor could be borrowed, but Lin Zheyu did not want others to know that he had borrowed this technique. Techniques with severe side effects or that were incomplete were rarely borrowed. Most people simply read them inside to understand their concepts and cultivation methods. Borrowing such a technique would be far too conspicuous.

Lin Zheyu spent roughly two hours committing the Evernight Slumber Secret Art to memory. As his strength increased, his memory had grown much stronger, and memorizing martial cultivation techniques was no longer as difficult as before. When leaving Tianlu Pavilion, he also borrowed the pre-Force Transformation realm technique manual of Azure Tide Boundless True Technique. This technique was the primary cultivation technique of the Azure Tide Pavilion.

After leaving Tianlu Pavilion, the sky had already grown somewhat dim. Lin Zheyu returned to his residence to retrieve silver, left the sect, and headed straight for the apothecaries in Wuling City. The sect also had places to purchase medicinal herbs, but the herbs required to cultivate the Evernight Slumber Secret Art were all relatively rare. They were only used when cultivating certain special techniques or refining poisons.

Lin Zheyu did not want others to know that he could cultivate such a technique with massive side effects, so he could only purchase the herbs outside the sect. The herbs required for the Evernight Slumber Secret Art were extremely difficult to find. He visited all the major apothecaries in the city but still could not obtain everything, finally finding the remaining few herbs at the black market.
