Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Chapter 740: Chapter 256: Rule Fragment 3

With Tu Yuan and his group causing a diversion, the attention of others shifted away from Lin Zheyu and the woman just now.

It was clear that the item was more likely to have fallen into Tu Yuan’s hands.

"Hehe, a bunch of useless fools!"

Tu Yuan sneered mockingly.

The corner of his mouth slightly curled up, and a trace of ferocity flashed in his eyes.

The cultivators who had gathered to watch and hoped to scoop something up quickly realized that something was wrong.

The spiritual power within everyone’s bodies surged quietly.

Boom!

Indeed, Tu Yuan suddenly slammed the skull head in his hand to the ground with force.

A deafening roar echoed.

Dense brown smoke billowed out from the skull head, and a powerful aura emanated from it.

"Not good!"

"Run!"

"Damn it!"

"..."

Exclamations of shock rang out as the crowd, having anticipated this moment, cursed and activated their escape light, retreating quickly.

"Hahaha!"

"I’m off too!"

Tu Yuan’s arrogant laughter echoed as Lin Zheyu turned to look, only to catch a glimpse of an earthen yellow escape light vanishing in an instant.

"Earth Demon Rat, Tu Yuan..."

"Not very strong, but incredibly bold with countless magical artifacts—an interesting fellow indeed."

Lin Zheyu glanced indifferently at the spot where Tu Yuan vanished.

The information about Tu Yuan was gathered from the murmurs of other cultivators.

This guy was notoriously infamous in the immortal realm.

Yet he still managed to be very much alive, which spoke to his exceptional abilities.

Without relying on those magical artifacts, Lin Zheyu was confident he could easily eliminate him in a short time. If those artifacts were used, however, hope would diminish considerably.

Tu Yuan possessed too many, too strong magical artifacts, all of which were extremely bizarre.

Not knowing the peculiarities of Tu Yuan’s magical artifacts, Lin Zheyu wasn’t fully confident.

"Huh!"

"Why is she here too?"

Suddenly, Lin Zheyu spotted a familiar figure, not expecting to encounter her here.

To his left stood a woman dressed in a light blue gown, her appearance charming.

The woman was none other than Lei Yunshu, whom he had met previously in the Demon God Barrier outside Wuling City.

Next to Lei Yunshu stood two women, tall and with an air of uniqueness.

Lin Zheyu pondered for a moment and walked towards Lei Yunshu.

"Miss Lei, long time no see. I didn’t expect to meet you here."

Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

Lei Yunshu left a good impression on him.

If he could, through Lei Yunshu, establish a connection with the Lei family and use their channels to get a deeper understanding of the immortal realm,

that would be ideal.

"You are?"

Lei Yunshu asked in confusion.

She sensed a familiar aura from Lin Zheyu.

Standing beside Lei Yunshu, the two companions curiously observed Lin Zheyu, a faint smile on their lips.

"It’s me, Xiao Yu."

Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

His muscles shifted, his facial features morphed back to the appearance they had when he first met Lei Yunshu.

"So it’s Mr. Xiao. Long time no see, and thank you so much for your help last time."

Upon seeing the familiar figure, a smile appeared on Lei Yunshu’s face.

Last time, she had deliberately given Lin Zheyu a token, yet didn’t expect him to never visit.

Lei Yunshu felt a bit disappointed.

Unexpectedly, after so much time, they met once again here.

It truly was fate.

"Mr. Xiao, these two are my cousins: on the left is Lei Yunhan, and on the right is Lei Yunzhi."

Lei Yunshu introduced with a smile.

The three of them, all peers from the Lei family, were together here on an adventure to hunt demons and gather rare resources.

"Cousins, this is the friend I mentioned last time, who helped me outside the Demon God Barrier at Wuling City."

"He is Xiao Yu, or Mr. Xiao."

Lei Yunshu introduced to Lei Yunhan and Lei Yunzhi with a smile.

"Nice to meet you both."

Lin Zheyu greeted them with a smile and a respectful nod.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Xiao. Thank you for helping Yunshu last time."

"Without Mr. Xiao’s help, Yunshu’s task would have failed." Lei Yunhan said with a smile.

"You’re too kind, Miss Yun Han. It was merely a small favor."

Lin Zheyu responded with generosity.

After Tu Yuan’s escape, many people chased after him, but Lin Zheyu and the others stayed behind, engaging in casual conversation.

"Mr. Xiao, have you also come for that item?"

Lei Yunshu asked with a smile.

"That item?"

"What item?"

Lin Zheyu asked in surprise.

He made no attempt to hide his ignorance, "I’ve just come here for exploration and self-improvement."

"Could it be that this Demon God Barrier holds some extraordinary treasure?" Lin Zheyu asked curiously.

"Of course."

"This Demon God Barrier has been around for some time now, and it’s not far from the condensation of rule fragments."

"Obtaining rule fragments mainly relies on luck; strength is secondary." Lei Yunshu explained with a smile, without hiding anything.

"Rule fragments?"

"There’s something like that?"

Lin Zheyu said in wonder.

It was his first time hearing about rule fragments, and just from the name, it felt extraordinary.

Upon hearing Lin Zheyu didn’t know about rule fragments, Lei Yunhan and Lei Yunzhi couldn’t help but show a look of surprise.

Anyone with some background would’ve surely heard of rule fragments.

On the contrary, Lei Yunshu wasn’t surprised at all.

During their previous interaction, although Lin Zheyu was very cautious,

Lei Yunshu still noticed from their conversation that this friend didn’t seem to know much about the common knowledge of the immortal realm.

Bringing up the topic of rule fragments was intentional by Lei Yunshu. She guessed Lin Zheyu might not know, aiming to offer him some insight.
