Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises-Chapter 457 - 178: Confucian Sect (Part 4)

No wonder with Mr. Yang’s sharp eyes at his age, even though Lin Zheyu used the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill and Turtle Breath True Skill, his opponent still saw through quite a bit of his reality.

Soon, the two arrived at the Forging Workshop.

Along the way, Huang Youwei was very cordial, proactively introducing Lin Zheyu to some people and things within the sect.

His attitude was a hundred times better than when they met in the morning.

"Is Lee Sheng available, have him forge... Mr. Lin, what is it you wanted to forge?" Huang Youwei turned his head and asked.

"Heavy armor for training, to wear while carrying weights."

"It needs to be designed to be detachable, with the full set of heavy armor weighing three thousand kilograms..."

Lin Zheyu roughly described his requirements.

"Hmm, do it as Mr. Lin said."

Huang Youwei took out his Identity Token and let the person in charge register the information.

"Sir, it’s been registered. You can come to pick it up at this time, three days from now." The person in charge said respectfully, returning the token.

"Thank you," Lin Zheyu expressed his gratitude.

"Hey, don’t mention it."

"Let’s go, I’ll introduce you to some friends from the Infinite Sect..."

"Uh, never mind, you’re going to become my grandfather’s student in the future; getting acquainted with them now might be awkward."

Huang Youwei stopped mid-sentence, deciding not to introduce Lin Zheyu to his friends.

He felt a bit strange facing Lin Zheyu at this moment.

He looked so young, yet hadn’t joined the sect. Calling him uncle didn’t seem right, and addressing him as Mr. Lin seemed off in terms of hierarchy.

In the end, he could only deliberate and call Lin Zheyu "Mr. Lin."

Once Lin Zheyu passed the self-reflection and aptitude examination, confirming no issues, he would formally join under Huang Baizhong, and Huang Youwei would then can call him uncle without haste.

...

Time flew by, and three days had passed, with Sect Leader Huang Baizhong yet to return.

Lin Zheyu had been living quite comfortably within the Infinite Sect.

Here, life was peaceful and stable; the sect had everything necessary. After practicing martial arts each day, Lin Zheyu would stroll around with Huang Youwei’s company.

In the afternoon.

He collected the forged heavy armor from the Forging Workshop. The craftsmanship of the Infinite Sect’s artisans was excellent, making it very comfortable to wear.

Unfortunately, he hadn’t joined the Infinite Sect, and hadn’t learned powerful Concealing Breath Skills.

In a sect teeming with experts, unlocking the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill could easily lead to others discovering secrets about him.

"Mr. Huang, do you know of any places in Wuling City selling strange cultivation techniques?" Lin Zheyu asked.

Huang Youwei had recently been visiting often to build a good rapport with him, dropping by whenever possible.

Lin Zheyu suspected that this youngster appreciated his strength and was trying to build a good relationship for future help.

But having him around indeed saved Lin Zheyu a lot of trouble.

"Didn’t you just acquire the Great Power Vajra Fist? This technique is extraordinary and can be used alongside Infinite Jade Waves True Skill as a complementary technique."

"A Martial Artist’s energy is limited. Once initiated, it is best to focus on the main cultivation skill and not waste too much attention on other skills."

Huang Youwei suggested.

This was something his father had taught him since childhood.

A Martial Artist’s energy is limited, and if distracted too much, there is a great possibility of accomplishing nothing in the end.

That is also why, at the Bone Marrow Refining Realm level, there are very few talented martial artists who spend too much effort on lightweight skills.

Only those whose power has plateaued, with no hope for advancement, or those past their growth spurt, turn to other directions.

"I’m not planning to buy them for cultivation; I’m just curious about those techniques."

"Studying different techniques, especially some of the stranger ones, can increase insight and enhance the understanding of Martial Dao, the body, and Essence, Qi, and Spirit, enriching martial arts knowledge."

"It seems Mr. Huang won’t be back for a while."

"I’m planning to see if there are interesting techniques to buy, to study during my free time."

Lin Zheyu explained.

"I see."

"As for techniques, there are plenty of strange ones to be found in Wuling City’s black market," Huang Youwei said.

"The black market?"

"Is it a black market that ordinary people can’t enter?"

Lin Zheyu asked.

Since he arrived in Wuling City, he had learned about the black market there, but the items inside were only useful up to martial artists below the Qi Blood Four Transformations.

"Of course."

"The black market has levels too; only those with certain status and position can enter."

"The threshold is very high, but the level of confidentiality is also very high, making it convenient for selling some taboo items."

Huang Youwei laughed and said, "In two days, the black market will be open, and I’ll take you to see it then."
