Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises-Chapter 500 - 190: Immortal Techniques (Part 3)

"Thank you for letting me win."

Lin Zheyu stepped back to create some distance, cupped his fists, and said with a smile.

"Mr. Lin is truly skilled. Given time, you’ll surely enter the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List."

Fan Qingxue said calmly.

Her chest rose and fell, her breath slightly rapid. The recent battle had consumed a lot of her energy.

In contrast, Lin Zheyu seemed unaffected.

"A guest at the door, I wonder if Mr. Lin would do me the honor of having a cup of tea before leaving."

Fan Qingxue said with a smile.

After the battle, she quickly adjusted her mood. Without this composure, she wouldn’t have achieved her current success.

"How could I refuse the lady’s invitation?"

Lin Zheyu replied with a smile.

He let Huang Youwei and the others go back on their own and followed Fan Qingxue to a serene courtyard.

On the way, Lin Zheyu took out the Hidden Dragon Order from his chest, curiously playing with it.

The moment he defeated Fan Qingxue, he sensed a reaction from the Hidden Dragon Order, a faint glow flickered briefly.

This was unlike the situation when he defeated Heng Qiming.

"The ranking on the Hidden Dragon List holds significant meaning for those of us in the Bone Marrow Refining Realm."

"With Mr. Lin’s capabilities, it’s best to strive for a higher ranking." Fan Qingxue said with a smile upon seeing Lin Zheyu playing with the Hidden Dragon Order.

"Indeed, that’s my intention."

"It’s just that currently in Wuling City, only Miss Fan is here, so I came to challenge you. I hope you don’t mind."

Lin Zheyu put away the Hidden Dragon Order and said.

"It seems Mr. Lin is not very familiar with this Hidden Dragon Order."

"In Wuling City, I’m not the only one on the Hidden Dragon List. Ahead of me is Monk Puji."

Fan Qingxue continued.

With that, she took out her own Hidden Dragon Order and held it in her hand.

"The Hidden Dragon Order can sense the area where martial artists on the Hidden Dragon List are located. You just need to hold it and silently recite..."

Fan Qingxue instructed.

Lin Zheyu followed Fan Qingxue’s direction, holding the Hidden Dragon Order and silently reciting the incantation.

In an instant, a map dotted with light appeared in his consciousness.

As long as Lin Zheyu focused on one of the light points, the name and location of the corresponding martial artist would appear in his mind.

Lin Zheyu looked and saw that there were only three people in Wuling City. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Himself, Fan Qingxue, and Monk Puji.

Only one person was outside the city, Xiao Shi from the War God Sect.

Lin Zheyu focused on Puji’s light point, and his consciousness revealed: Puji, Rank 71.

There was very little information, only the name and ranking.

Even the location information was quite vague.

One could only roughly determine that Puji was in Wuling City; his precise location couldn’t be sensed at all.

However, Lin Zheyu discovered that as long as he wished to challenge someone, the other party would sense it.

They must accept the challenge within a month; otherwise, the Hidden Dragon Order’s effect would directly disable until they accepted the challenge.

This kind of challenge has a distance limit, only possible within the same city, or within 500 kilometers.

"Interesting, the Hidden Dragon List is this intelligent."

Lin Zheyu was amazed in his heart.

This thing’s intelligence was as sophisticated as the legendary Spiritual Artifacts with Artifact Spirits, and not just any ordinary Spiritual Artifact.

"Isn’t it miraculous?"

"The first time I used this feature of the Hidden Dragon Order, I was also startled."

"Such an extraordinary capability doesn’t seem achievable by Martial Dao means, but more like Immortal Techniques!"

Fan Qingxue said with a smile upon seeing the surprised look on Lin Zheyu’s face.

Being a True Disciple of the Cyan Rainbow Sect and a talent on the Hidden Dragon List, Fan Qingxue knew many secrets.

She had long become accustomed to various traces left by suspected cultivators in this world.

"It truly is miraculous. Thank you, Miss Fan, for your guidance."

Lin Zheyu put away the Hidden Dragon Order and said with a smile.

He had met Senior Sister Guo Wenzi yesterday and after asking about the Sacred Inference Spirit Skill, he plunged into cultivation, forgetting to inquire about the Hidden Dragon List and its features.

"Mr. Lin, you’re too kind."

"Next month there will be a Hidden Dragon List martial artists’ gathering in Guanghua City. I wonder if Mr. Lin is interested in attending with me?"

Fan Qingxue poured a cup of wine for Lin Zheyu and said with a smile.

Almost every year, there is a gathering for martial artists on the Hidden Dragon List, where they could challenge each other to determine the final rankings.

After the challenges, they would often form groups to visit other domains and challenge the talents on the Hidden Dragon List there.

"I won’t be going."

"As Miss Qingxue is likely aware, I just joined the Infinite Sect and need to practice its cultivation techniques, leaving me with little time."

"Ranking 78th on the Hidden Dragon List is sufficient for me. If I am fortunate enough to meet higher-ranking martial artists in Wuling City, I could challenge them then."

Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

Traveling to other cities takes too much time, leaving him less time to break through the limits and acquire Source Power on the road.

Compared to the training effects brought by the Hidden Dragon Order, Source Power holds greater value for Lin Zheyu.

"That is truly a pity. With Mr. Lin’s current abilities, entering the top sixty of the Hidden Dragon List is completely achievable." Fan Qingxue said with a smile.

"There must be gains and losses; it’s merely a matter of choice." Lin Zheyu said.

"Mr. Lin is truly open-minded, vastly different from the domineering image displayed during battle." Fan Qingxue laughed.

The two chatted a bit more before Lin Zheyu took his leave.

Returning to the Infinite Sect, Lin Zheyu resumed his previous life routine.

The battle with Fan Qingxue did not deplete him significantly.

Back at the Infinite Sect, Lin Zheyu went directly to a deep pool near a waterfall to begin his training.
