Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises-Chapter 462 - 180: Eternal Night Slumber

The truly powerful cultivation techniques probably require going up to the second floor of the Celestial Lu Pavilion.

These ordinary cultivation techniques are open for inner sect disciples to borrow for free, mainly to expand their martial dao knowledge, increase their insights, and learn by analogy.

This is the benefit of being a disciple of a top sect.

In the outside world, cultivation techniques that require a significant amount of silver taels to purchase are directly available for free here.

If Lin Zheyu had just arrived at Wuling City, he would have regarded these techniques as treasures.

Unfortunately, he is not the same as before, and to the current Lin Zheyu, these ordinary cultivation techniques have little value for further cultivation.

On the path of Qi Blood Realm, Lin Zheyu has cultivated to an astonishing level, with Qi Blood Transformation happening twelve times, far beyond the Qi Blood Dragon Realm.

Ordinary Qi Blood Condensing Skills and Breath Concealment Skills are of little use to him.

If not for the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill, his efficiency in condensing Qi Blood would be much lower.

The Turtle Breath True Skill alone cannot perfectly conceal the powerful Qi Blood force transformed twelve times.

Among the cultivation techniques on the first floor, there are a few similar to the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill, with effects not differing much, offering some reference value.

But they are not worth cultivating anew.

"Let’s see if I can find an existing technique in the Incomplete Cultivation Techniques section. If not, I can only try my luck at the black market with Huang Youwei."

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

While casually strolling, he discovered a shelf holding incomplete cultivation technique manuals.

These technique manuals are incomplete and thus not suitable for cultivation; some lack the essential auxiliary medicine formulas.

Some lack a heart method.

Some techniques are placed on the incomplete shelf due to enormous side effects.

Although there are many issues with these techniques, the martial dao knowledge contained within is extremely precious.

They have high reference value.

Thus, they are placed on the first floor for sect disciples to freely peruse.

...

A tall girl stood quietly before the incomplete techniques shelf, quietly flipping through the technique manuals.

The girl appeared very serene, with a hint of elegance, displaying the temperament of a lady from a distinguished family.

Seeing Lin Zheyu approach, she glanced at him briefly before nonchalantly lowering her head, continuing to peruse the technique she held.

Lin Zheyu initially intended to greet her, but seeing her lack of attention, he abandoned the thought.

The Incomplete Cultivation Techniques shelf was likewise well categorized.

There were all sorts of techniques: body refining, scattered energy, Poison Tao, saber skills, swordsmanship.

Lin Zheyu went directly to the area related to breath concealment techniques.

There were very few techniques on the shelf; the incomplete breath concealment techniques were rare, totaling only four.

Night Stealth Skill, Celestial Ascension Secret Record...

Lin Zheyu browsed them; the techniques’ concepts and ideas were highly creative, some were simply ingenious.

Unfortunately, the techniques were severely incomplete.

Some of these techniques lacked the main parts of their cultivation methods, offering only general ideas, while others required extinct precious herbs.

Though Lin Zheyu had source power assistance, he couldn’t conjure things from thin air.

Faced with techniques needing extinct herb assistance, he felt powerless.

"The ideas within Night Stealth Skill are promising; if complete, perhaps it would be effective. Alas, the techniques are so severely incomplete."

Lin Zheyu reluctantly placed the technique manual back in its place.

If breath concealment techniques won’t suffice, then let’s explore other techniques.

Some Life Extension Elixirs, special techniques akin to the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill, might bring surprises.

Time slowly passed.

Lin Zheyu resumed searching the shelf.

This time, he widened his search scope, specifically looking for those more unusual techniques.

After more than half an hour.

Lin Zheyu found an interesting technique.

"Hmm, Fake Death Skill..."

"Seems somewhat intriguing." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Lin Zheyu’s face showed a curious expression.

The technique was fully entitled Eternal Night Sleep Secret Skill, a magical technique enabling martial artists to enter a dormant state akin to fierce beasts, minimizing bodily metabolism and consumption.

It has a remarkable similarity to the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill.

He retrieved the manual and began to browse.

"...Animals hibernate, fierce beasts have fake death, some exotic beasts can slumber for centuries, while humans, who call themselves the spirit of all creations, are naturally without such abilities."

"...The wonder of martial dao lies in how different cultivation methods enable martial artists to possess a variety of powerful abilities."

"..."

Lin Zheyu read the Eternal Night Sleep Secret Skill attentively.

This technique was developed by a powerful martial arts senior, through researching various strong exotic and fierce beasts’ dormancy abilities, eventually leading to this secret technique.

"A very interesting technique, once mastered, also grants a potent breath concealment ability."

Lin Zheyu’s heart filled with joy upon finally finding a useful technique.

The Eternal Night Sleep Secret Skill was discovered in the incomplete techniques section. Cultivating this technique necessitates strong medicinal assistance.

During cultivation, various secret medicines are applied externally for physical refinement, and internally to alter body constitution.

Along with Eternal Night Sleep Secret Skill training, this imparts martial artists with strong dormant abilities akin to exotic beasts, allowing them to endure lengthy periods without dying.

According to the technique’s description, if cultivated to peak, theoretically, it could allow martial artists to sleep for decades, while consuming less than a tenth of their lifespan.

Mysteriously wondrous.

This peculiar, powerful secret skill was placed in the incomplete techniques section for good reason.

Although the secret medicine needed for Eternal Night Sleep Secret Skill cultivation could be purchased, the resulting side effects from cultivating this technique were terrifyingly severe.
