Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Chapter 760: Chapter 262: Words Become Law?

...

"What do you have?"

Lin Zheyu looked at Tu Yuan indifferently.

Tu Yuan’s storage bag had already been forcefully opened by him, and there were indeed quite a few good things inside.

The unknown bone magical artifact and the skull alone were quite valuable.

However, Lin Zheyu didn’t know how to use those two magical artifacts; holding them didn’t allow him to unleash much power.

Lin Zheyu was planning to go to the marketplace to sell those things as second-hand magical artifacts.

But now that Tu Yuan had come looking for him, Lin Zheyu didn’t mind selling them to him, as it would be far more profitable than selling them at the marketplace.

"You took my storage bag, so I don’t have many valuable items on me."

"How about this, let’s negotiate. This time, Mr. Xiao, please don’t sell the items in my storage bag right away."

"I will personally find you in the future and buy them back at a price you’re satisfied with."

"I wonder what you think of this proposal?"

Tu Yuan pondered for a while and offered his plan.

"Alright."

Lin Zheyu nodded.

"Thank you, my friend!"

"Here’s my Lingxi Ball; you can use it to contact me later."

Tu Yuan took out a new Lingxi Ball and said with a smile.

He seemed to have acquired a new storage bag, likely from friends or other cultivators over the last few days.

But this was none of Lin Zheyu’s business.

He glanced at Tu Yuan indifferently, not taking his words too seriously.

Tu Yuan’s reputation wasn’t great, and Lin Zheyu didn’t trust him much.

Anyway, he agreed for now, planning to visit the Cultivation Marketplace later to check prices; if Tu Yuan offered significantly more, he could still sell to him later.

...

"Trouble, it seems I’ve awakened some kind of spiritual divine technique."

"Is it perception-based..."

Tu Yuan discreetly glanced at Lin Zheyu, who was sitting cross-legged nearby, a barely noticeable cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"That secret treasure is definitely related to Mr. Xiao."

"Although I don’t know what kind of treasure it is, judging from the aura alone, it seems to be something that can restrain demonic energy."

"And that magical lake was artificially created."

"Perhaps the secret treasure possesses the power to extract demonic energy from the magical lake and convert it into spiritual energy!"

Tu Yuan’s mind raced.

This thought surely wasn’t his alone.

Others present at the time, such as Liao Xingfan and Yuan Qiu, likely had similar thoughts.

Even Tu Yuan doubted Ji Zitong lacked other motives.

"Heh heh..."

"If I were to spread this secret..."

A faint sneer appeared on Tu Yuan’s lips.

He was unwilling.

The item was clearly his, yet he had to spend money to buy it back from someone else.

This wasn’t in line with his character.

With a flick of his body, Tu Yuan vanished into the dark soil.

"Mr. Xiao, you need to be careful of Tu Yuan."

After Tu Yuan left, Bai Lin suddenly approached, speaking in a low voice.

Lin Zheyu looked at Bai Lin with some surprise.

This man seemed more kind-hearted than he had imagined?

"I’ve heard people say you defeated Tu Yuan and took his storage bag."

"Tu Yuan is vengeful, ruthless, and wicked; don’t be deceived by the goodwill he expresses."

Bai Lin advised.

He had just seen Lin Zheyu chatting with Tu Yuan, seemingly amiable.

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Bai."

Lin Zheyu cupped his hand and thanked Bai Lin.

Even without Bai Lin’s warning, he would remain cautious of Tu Yuan.

Not just Tu Yuan, Lin Zheyu didn’t trust these people much; he only believed in himself.

Woo woo woo—

The tide of demonic energy grew increasingly fierce, causing a storm and roaring in anger.

Tu Yuan and Lei Yongtao had vanished, leaving Bai Lin, Lin Zheyu, and Soi Mulan on the scene.

The three of them each found a spot to sit cross-legged.

Lin Zheyu curiously observed Bai Lin.

Bai Lin’s speed of demonic energy absorption was slow; an invisible layer of energy surrounded his Ren and Du Meridians, where the Bridge of Heaven and Earth is located.

Bai Lin lacked cultivation aptitude; he forcibly opened the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, his connection to the heavens and earth.

Thus, by sealing the bridge, the corrosive effect of demonic energy on Martial Artists would be greatly reduced.

And then there was Soi Mulan.

She was enveloped by a thin layer of energy.

Lin Zheyu could discern that the energy originated from the same source as the energy within a Divine Power crystal.

Even Bai Lin utilized the energy from the Divine Power crystal.

However, Martial Artists inherently had a higher resistance to demonic energy, so he used it sparingly, to an almost imperceptible extent.

Among the three, Lin Zheyu appeared somewhat peculiar.

"Curious, is he using some kind of secret treasure?"

Soi Mulan curiously studied Lin Zheyu.

From the first moment she saw Lin Zheyu, she noticed intriguing aspects of him.

Specifically, she couldn’t detect any fluctuations from a Divine Power crystal on Lin Zheyu, which was extremely unusual.

The energy contained in a Divine Power crystal was one of the most cost-effective means of dealing with demonic energy erosion in this era.

Almost every strong cultivator entering the Demon God Barrier carried a Divine Power crystal.

Even the Barbarian Race and Ancient Demon were no exception.

Though they didn’t call it a Divine Power crystal, the energy they used originated from a virtually identical source.

"Could it be that Mr. Xiao has cultivated to the extent that he can freely open and close the Bridge of Heaven and Earth?"

Unlike Soi Mulan, Bai Lin had this thought flash through his mind.
