Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises-Chapter 340 - 144: The Will of the Strong (Part 3)

Chapter 340: Chapter 144: The Will of the Strong (Part 3)

Lin Zheyu is currently lacking silver taels and medicinal herbs.

"I need to find a way to earn money, otherwise, even with enough Source Power, I can’t continue to enhance my strength."

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

This time’s improvement only restored about eighty percent of the Qi Blood power in his body.

Clearly, the few herb packages he brought out are insufficient to support him breaking through to Qi Blood Seven Transformations. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Fortunately, the gap isn’t large; it’s just that the Qi Blood couldn’t be restored to its Peak, rather than causing a Qi Blood deficit.

...

Chirp chirp~~~

Xiaohei prepared the firewood, holding flint stones in its two claws, imitating Lin Zheyu, and lit the firewood, jumping around excitedly.

Then, it happily tore a piece of beast meat with its claws and started roasting it.

This little guy is motivated to learn for the sake of eating and no longer needs Lin Zheyu to sprinkle chili powder for it.

It even searches for wild herbs and fruits, smearing their juices on the roasted meat to enhance the flavor.

Lin Zheyu marveled at its intelligence.

"In the future, if Xiaohei lives alone in the forest without me forcing it to practice martial arts, this little guy will probably live quite happily."

Lin Zheyu looked at the carefree Xiaohei and smiled wryly.

He was developing the idea of letting Xiaohei return to the forest.

Due to Xiaohei’s special breed, it easily attracts attention, making it impossible to let it help in hunting for money anymore.

Staying with him isn’t good for Xiaohei.

Releasing it back to the forest is the best choice for Xiaohei.

But there’s no rush on this matter.

Lin Zheyu didn’t plan to leave so soon.

He learned many ways to use poisons and medicines from the Poison Canon.

Among them, some tracking medicines will leave residues on the body for several days if not treated specially.

Some can remain for as long as seven or eight days.

To save Xiaohei, he ended up contaminated with many medicines during his encounter with martial artists at the Bone Marrow Refining Realm.

During the fight with the Tang Family martial artist, the opponent also spread some medicinal powder.

It’s very likely Lin Zheyu still has the Tang Family’s unique tracking medicine residue on his body.

Though over the past few days in the forest, he has tried different methods recorded in the Poison Canon to remove these tracking medicine residues from his body as much as possible.

It’s still not very safe.

Lin Zheyu plans to stay a few more days before leaving.

As for the blade intent on Celestial Blade Peak, he isn’t particularly concerned.

The blade intent appears every mid-June, so even if he misses this year, there’s still a chance next year.

After all, life is irreplaceable.

Lin Zheyu doesn’t want to accidentally lose his life while comprehending blade intent.

"Xiaohei, after you’re full, it’s time to head out, accompany me into the deep mountains to explore, and let’s see if we can find some treasure herbs."

Lin Zheyu patted Xiaohei’s head and said with a smile.

In the deep mountains where people rarely set foot, there are not only many beasts, filled with danger, but there are also numerous treasure herbs.

If lucky enough to harvest a grand herb, it could sell for a few thousand or even tens of thousands of silver taels.

At that time, there would be silver for increasing strength.

However, Lin Zheyu was just thinking as he didn’t believe his luck was that good.

On the contrary, he felt his luck was rather poor; otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought so many troubles for no reason.

Time slowly passed.

In the blink of an eye, eight days went by.

Lin Zheyu brought Xiaohei into the forest for hunting and exploring.

He dared not venture towards the direction where the terrifying beast roar initially appeared but chose another direction.

Along the way, he encountered many powerful beasts, some far stronger than himself.

Luckily, Lin Zheyu’s Lightweight Skill was impressive, allowing him to narrowly escape from the bloody mouths of beasts each time.

Roar!

From the forest, a huge beast roar was heard.

A giant crocodile with a mouthful of sharp teeth roared angrily, charging towards Lin Zheyu.

Its tail was covered with spikes, and swung with terrifying power.

Bang!

Bang bang bang!

Lin Zheyu stepped with the Golden Swan Skill, wandering around the giant crocodile.

A tyrannical fist force surged on his body as Wild Bull Fist blasted out continuously, each punch seemed to carry ten thousand pounds of force, crashing down heavily.

Even with the crocodile’s resilient skin and flesh, cracking sounds started emanating under Lin Zheyu’s relentless attacks.

Roar!

It bellowed, sensing a deadly threat, and immediately turned to flee.

However, Lin Zheyu’s speed was astonishing, the crocodile’s strength, though formidable, had explosive power comparable to Lin Zheyu’s strongest attack without using the Blood Boiling Secret Skill.

But its speed and agility were lacking, leaving it with no choice but to receive hits passively without being able to counterattack.

It couldn’t escape even though it wanted to.

Hiss hiss—chirp chirp—

Xiaohei watched, copying Lin Zheyu’s movements and swinging its own modified Wild Bull Claw energetically.

About half an hour later.

The disturbance in the forest subsided, leaving the surroundings in a mess.

Lin Zheyu breathed heavily, standing beside the giant crocodile, which lay on the ground like a pile of mud, critically injured.

"Xiaohei, go gather some firewood." Lin Zheyu instructed.

Chirp chirp!

Upon hearing this, Xiaohei chirped twice and darted away.

"After being out here for so many days, it’s time to head back."

"Staying in this perilous forest has not only failed to earn money but also hasn’t accumulated Source Power; it’s quite a loss."

Lin Zheyu murmured softly.

Over the eight days, although he didn’t use Source Power to enhance Qianyuan Skill·Modified, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit were restored to their Peak.

Yet, he still hadn’t broken through the limit to acquire Source Power.

The forest is too dangerous.

Lin Zheyu didn’t bring heavy armor, and each breakthrough of limits requires four or five hours, filled with unpredictability.

Besides, he left in a hurry this time, carrying few water bags filled with medicinal soup, and he had already used one previously.

The remaining ones weren’t sufficient to use Source Power for recovery in times of danger.

Yet, he didn’t come out completely empty-handed.

During these eight days, fighting powerful beasts daily, his fist force became increasingly refined.

Lin Zheyu is cultivating an overbearing, invincible force.

As long as he continues to fight, emerging victorious in battles, he will gather an undefeated belief, forming his own power of a strong will.

His force is likely not far from achieving Great Success.

However, this path is difficult; Lin Zheyu only has a vague idea.

Despite so many fights, challenging opponents beyond his rank, defeating many martial artists and beasts higher in realm than himself.

But Lin Zheyu still doesn’t quite understand true undefeated belief and power of a strong will.

"Without guidance, without senior experiences to reference, trying to figure out on my own is really hard."

Lin Zheyu shook his head, muttering to himself.
