Immortality Begins With Internal Breathing-Chapter 378: Exquisite (II)

Soon, Lin Zheyu and the others ascended to the eighth floor of the Wuji Tower. Guarding the Library Pavilion on the eighth floor was an old man with white hair and a youthful face, who was also a Grandmaster realm martial artist.

"Greetings, Grandmaster."

"Greetings, Master."

Lin Zheyu and the others bowed to the old man.

This old man was Shu Jiancen, the former Pavilion Master of the Azure Tide Pavilion, the master of Huang Baizhong and Wu Xuan, and the grandmaster of Lin Zheyu and Guo Wenzi. It so happened that today was his turn to guard the eighth floor of the Wuji Tower.

"What brings you here? Are you here to exchange for some technique?" Shu Jiancen asked with a genial smile.

"I brought Lin Zheyu to exchange for the subsequent techniques. He wants to cultivate the Primordial Wuji True Technique..." Huang Baizhong said.

Upon hearing this, Shu Jiancen reacted just like Elder Wang and Elder Liu. After some explanation, he still could not resist using true intent pressure to test Lin Zheyu's spiritual soul strength.

"I did not expect that the disciple you casually accepted back then would possess such monstrous natural talent," Shu Jiancen said with emotion.

"That is because I have a good eye," Huang Baizhong said with a grin.

"You? Elder Yang mentioned to me that Lin Zheyu was chosen by him. It had nothing to do with you," Shu Jiancen said, glancing at Huang Baizhong without giving him any face.

How could he not know his own disciple's character? When it came to judging people, Huang Baizhong wasn't talented in the slightest. Without Elder Yang, this genius disciple, Lin Zheyu, might have been snatched away by another sect.

Huang Baizhong merely smiled faintly and did not argue.

"Here is the Primordial Wuji True Technique. On the entire eighth floor, there is only this one copy. And here is the complete version of the Sacred Evolution Spirit Nurturing Art. Boy, I think highly of you. When will you reach the top of the Hidden Dragon List and let the Azure Tide Pavilion show off its might?" Shu Jiancen said with a smile as he handed the two technique manuals to Lin Zheyu.

True intent diagrams would gradually lose their effect over time. Since almost no one cultivated the Primordial Wuji True Technique, there were very few copies stored in the library. Once this manual was taken by Lin Zheyu, someone would need to be commissioned to recreate the true intent diagrams for the technique.

"Thank you, Grandmaster. The person at the top of the Hidden Dragon List is in the Fengchuan Region. When I have time to go there, I will defeat him along the way," Lin Zheyu said with a smile, as if speaking of something trivial.

"Haha! You're worthy of being my grand-disciple. That kind of boldness is impressive." Shu Jiancen laughed heartily.

Lin Zheyu stayed on the eighth floor for a while before leaving. Huang Baizhong and Wu Xuan remained behind to discuss some matters with their master. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

After leaving the Wuji Tower, under the guidance of a main sect disciple, Lin Zheyu selected a courtyard with a pleasant environment and settled in temporarily.

"Junior Brother, are you not going out for a walk?" Guo Wenzi asked.

"No, I do not really know anyone at the main sect. Senior Sister, you go ahead. No need to worry about me," Lin Zheyu replied with a smile.

Having obtained the technique, he was eager to begin cultivating. He had no mood for wandering around.

"Alright then. Before you fight Liang En, remember to notify me in advance. I cannot miss such a wonderful battle," Guo Wenzi reminded him before turning and leaving.

Lin Zheyu sat in the courtyard, took out the Primordial Wuji True Technique, and began flipping through it.

Rustle, rustle.

A gentle breeze passed through, and the branches in the courtyard swayed with a rustling sound. Time slowly flowed on.

Page after page of the Primordial Wuji True Technique was turned. The light in Lin Zheyu's eyes grew increasingly fervent.

What an exquisite design!

The Primordial Wuji True Technique did not crudely merge the eight primary cultivation techniques. Instead, it combined the eight true techniques in an extraordinarily refined manner, forming an even more powerful technique. No matter which primary true technique one began with, it would not affect the cultivation of the Primordial Wuji True Technique.

Even the true intent diagram of the Primordial Wuji True Technique consisted of only a single chart, named the Primordial true intent. When Lin Zheyu saw that there was only one true intent diagram, he was momentarily stunned and thought his grandmaster had given him an incomplete manual. But when he began meditating on the diagram, he realized that it was indeed complete. This was the true intent diagram of the Primordial Wuji True Technique.

"There's only one true intent diagram... This diagram has a similar ingenious effect to the visualization diagram of the Great Strength Vajra Fist. It can cleverly combine eight different true intents into one..."

After cultivating for more than an hour, Lin Zheyu could not help but marvel.

The Heaven Shattering Dominance Flash that Elder Yang had given him also contained three different true intents, along with three corresponding true intent diagrams. Besides those diagrams, there was also a special visualization diagram that helped a martial artist combine the three true intents. Lin Zheyu had assumed that the Primordial Wuji True Technique would be similar. He did not expect it to have only a single true intent diagram.

"This is truly worthy of being the Wuji Sect's foundational technique," Lin Zheyu murmured before continuing his cultivation.

The cultivation process of this technique was extremely complex. Even though the eight different true techniques were unified through an ingenious general framework, the difficulty of cultivating them remained astonishingly high. Without a solid foundation in martial cultivation, one could not even begin.

However, although this technique was difficult, it was not much of an obstacle for Lin Zheyu, whose spiritual soul was powerful and whose control over essence, qi, and spirit had reached an astonishing level. At most, the process was somewhat cumbersome.

***

Time slowly passed. A silver crescent moon appeared in the dim sky, casting a faint glow.

It was not until a main sect disciple came to invite him that Lin Zheyu returned to his senses from cultivation.

"Martial Uncle, the banquet is ready. Please come along," a young man said respectfully.

He secretly sized up this young martial uncle. The first time Lin Zheyu's name spread throughout the main sect was when he defeated Yue Chengzhi of the Shattered Star Pavilion and rose to fifty-third on the Hidden Dragon List. At that time, they merely thought the Azure Tide Pavilion had recruited a true disciple with decent talent. But only a few months later, news came again that Lin Zheyu had defeated Xiao Shi and reached the thirtieth rank on the Hidden Dragon List. This news shocked the inner sect and true disciples of the main sect. The speed was simply too fast.

That was the Hidden Dragon List, a ranking that gathered the outstanding youths of the Marrow Refining realm across the entirety of Great Wei. Others advanced one place at a time, often taking months or even years to rise by a single rank. Sometimes, with bad luck, they would even be surpassed and fall in ranking. But Lin Zheyu was different. Every time he advanced, he leapt upward in great strides.

Martial Uncle Lin is so young. I heard he is only fifty. I wonder who is stronger between him and Martial Uncle Liang En, the young man thought to himself.

Looking at Lin Zheyu's face, which appeared even younger than his own, he simply could not connect him with the genius ranked thirtieth on the Hidden Dragon List.

"Alright, I will go now," Lin Zheyu said as he stood up and smoothed out the creases in his clothes from cultivation.

"By the way, has Senior Brother Liang En returned?" Lin Zheyu asked.

When he first arrived at the main sect, Liang En had already accepted his challenge. At that time, Liang En was near Guanghua City and should have been able to return quickly.

"Martial Uncle Liang has already returned," the young man replied.

***

Upon arriving at the main hall, he saw that many young talents were already seated inside. At a glance, Lin Zheyu found them somewhat familiar, yet he could not recall their names. After all, he had joined the Wuji Sect less than two years ago and had spent most of his time cultivating within the sect, rarely interacting with martial artists from other branches or the main sect.

"Junior Brother, over here."

Seeing Lin Zheyu arrive, Guo Wenzi waved at him.

Beside her sat two beautiful women whose temperaments differed greatly from Guo Wenzi's. One appeared gentle and charming, while the other seemed lively and innocent.

"I am Lin Zheyu. Greetings, Senior Sisters," Lin Zheyu said with a smile as he took a seat beside Guo Wenzi.

"Let me introduce them. This is Junior Sister Qiu Baoyu, and this is Senior Sister Wang Shuxian. And this is my Junior Brother Lin Zheyu. Well, did I not say my junior brother is handsome and exceptionally strong? Have you thought about my earlier proposal?" Guo Wenzi said cheerfully.

Qiu Baoyu was the name of the gentle and charming woman. The lively and innocent-looking one was named Wang Shuxian.

"Senior Sister, what were you discussing just now?" Lin Zheyu asked curiously.

"I was matchmaking for you. Tell me which one you fancy, and I will persuade them for you," Guo Wenzi said, patting her chest.

Lin Zheyu was left speechless.

Qiu Baoyu merely smiled slightly, taking Guo Wenzi's words as a joke. Wang Shuxian, however, extended her fair hand and pinched Guo Wenzi at the waist, then shot her a fierce glare.

"Junior Brother, do not listen to Wenzi's nonsense. But if you fancy Baoyu, I can help arrange things for you. Baoyu is the number one beauty of the main sect, and many young talents are pursuing her. As long as you say the word, for Wenzi's sake, I will definitely help you," Wang Shuxian said with a sly smile.
