Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Lin Zheyu’s spirit not only felt no fatigue but instead seemed incredibly powerful.

"My perception has become clearer..."

Lin Zheyu experienced the changes in his spirit.

He couldn’t precisely gauge the enhancement of his spiritual soul but could only observe the changes in his perception and reaction to reverse-engineer the improvement of his spiritual soul.

At the moment he opened his eyes, Lin Zheyu felt like someone with three or four diopters of nearsightedness, regaining their vision through laser surgery and seeing the world with newfound clarity.

His perception became sharper!

"Just as I anticipated, the enhancement of the spiritual soul can indirectly improve perception and reaction abilities."

"If one could enhance their spiritual soul to an extremely terrifying degree, perhaps even without forming a Grandmaster domain, the potent perception might still achieve effects similar to that domain."

Such thoughts flashed through Lin Zheyu’s mind.

Battle experience is difficult to accumulate quickly, and developing strong combat awareness and skills within a short period is challenging.

But the spiritual soul is different.

With the aid of Source Power, Lin Zheyu could completely elevate his spiritual soul within a short time.

Once the spiritual soul becomes powerful, perception and reaction abilities will also improve.

"Continuing to enhance like this, could I possess strength rivaling a Martial Arts Grandmaster at the Bone Marrow Refining Realm?" Lin Zheyu wondered.

His current strength was comparable to a Martial Artist with Transforming Force.

The most notable difference between a Martial Arts Grandmaster and a Martial Artist with Transforming Force is that the Grandmaster possesses a domain.

In terms of pure strength of true force, physique, and power, the Grandmaster isn’t significantly stronger than a Transforming Force Martial Artist.

Their strength lies in their extensive Martial Dao knowledge, battle experience, and their formation of a domain after refining their martial arts.

In the eyes of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, a Transforming Force Martial Artist exposes countless flaws upon making a move.

Upon identifying those flaws, the Grandmaster can easily defeat or even kill them.

This is the strength of a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

And this ability, through enhancing the spiritual soul and relying on exceedingly potent perception, might yield similar effects.

It’s akin to a stripped-down version of the grandmaster domain.

"Ha..."

"I’ve thought too far ahead, not yet advancing to Transforming Force, yet dreaming of matching a Martial Arts Grandmaster." Lin Zheyu chuckled softly, speaking self-mockingly.

After experiencing the effects of the Sacred Inference Spirit Skill, Lin Zheyu didn’t continue the enhancement.

The enhancement of the spiritual soul couldn’t provide significant combat power or effective survival skills in the short term.

Lin Zheyu planned to first cultivate the Melting Furnace Body Tempering Skill to enhance his physique.

Once the physique is enhanced, it could significantly boost strength, survival capability, and even enhance the cultivation effects of the Sacred Inference Spirit Skill.

The stronger the physique, the better the cultivation effects of the Sacred Inference Spirit Skill.

Once the physique is enhanced, using Source Power to elevate the Sacred Inference Spirit Skill yields even greater advancements.

"Only consumed less than a third of the Spiritual Liquid, not bad, the remainder should suffice for three units of Source Power needed for cultivating the Melting Furnace Body Tempering Skill."

Lin Zheyu examined the remaining droplets of Spiritual Liquid in the wooden basin.

Since Spiritual Liquid doesn’t blend with water, he could roughly estimate the amount used by the leftover droplets.

’Using three units of Source Power to cultivate the Melting Furnace Body Tempering Skill.’

He reached into the wooden basin, sending forth his thoughts.

In an instant, Lin Zheyu’s consciousness wavered momentarily as he began endless cultivation in his mental space.

In the mental space, there’s no worry about the violent operation of Qi Blood harming the body or damaging the martial foundation.

Lin Zheyu manipulated the Qi Blood forcefully. The immense golden Qi Blood surged through his body, and as it flowed through the acupoints all over the body, the terrifying impact brought intense pain.

Lin Zheyu felt as if his body was being torn apart.

Though somewhat crude, the effect was significant.

His body was intensely hot, akin to a furnace burning with flames, with body temperature exceeding that during real-world cultivation by two to three times.

Due to this rough approach, Lin Zheyu entirely released his control over the Qi Blood.

The massive Qi Blood permeated outward, condensing into a roaring five-clawed golden dragon surrounding him.

In the room.

Lin Zheyu’s body was scorching hot.

The rolling Qi Blood surged through the body, and under the influence of mysterious energy, muscles, skin, bones strengthened at an astounding rate.

Several breaths later.

Lin Zheyu slowly opened his eyes.

Different from when he practiced the Sacred Inference Spirit Skill, his eyes were bloodshot this time.

The crude operation of the Melting Furnace Body Tempering Skill made him relive the pain from using the revamped Qi Blood Condensation Technique before.

"Huh..."

Lin Zheyu exhaled a long, fiery breath.

Upon completion, his body remained extremely hot, skin reddened, resembling a boiled lobster.

"The cultivation of the Melting Furnace Body Tempering Skill is incredibly energy-consuming."

"If more Source Power were used, the body might indeed be drained dry, right?"

Lin Zheyu sensed the void of Qi Blood energy within his body, muttering inwardly.

Not only was the Qi Blood energy depleted, but a faint sense of weakness permeated throughout his body.

Despite the excessive resource consumption, the effect was apparent.

Lin Zheyu felt that the strength of his physique had increased by nearly fifty percent compared to before.

This is quite remarkable.

Reaching his level of strength and achieving such great enhancement is extremely rare.

This largely attributed to Lin Zheyu’s enormous golden Qi Blood energy.

The Melting Furnace Body Tempering Skill, albeit a solid Body Refining Technique, has effects intertwined with the strength of the Qi Blood.
