Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 135 - 105: Completing the Turtle Breathing Technique

"Brother Chen, how can this be!"

Liu Huo expressed joy at first, but then his face showed some urgency:

"Brother Chen, in terms of strength, you're above me, in terms of strategy, I fall slightly behind you, and in terms of talent, you have a gift for alchemy,

So regardless, the identity of the Daoist Protector should go to you!"

Even though Liu Huo really wanted the status of Daoist Protector, he still had some self-awareness.

Even Zhao Chengyu was expecting Chen Yi to take the position of Daoist Protector, to him Liu Huo was merely an afterthought.

However, Chen Yi shook his head with a firm smile:

"Liu Huo, with your strength nearing the first layer of body refining, your cultivation talent, and your courageous demeanor in perilous situations, you carry some fate with you,

You shouldn't underestimate yourself, you can be a Daoist Protector."

"As for me, Brother Zhao," Chen Yi looked seriously at Zhao Chengyu and said,

"I do not like conflicts. The cultivation method that I practice is the 'Tortoise Breathing Calming Qi Skills,' which progresses exceedingly slowly, it provides little help in contests of skill,

And because of my personal interests, I lean towards studying some medicine theory,

So it's very likely I would hide in a corner being a research cultivator,

Therefore, this business of being a Daoist Protector in contests of skill, I really can't do it!

Besides, the Zhao family is willing to let me stay here for five years, I'm already content with that. I want to thank Brother Zhao!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chengyu looked dumbfounded:

"Tortoise Breathing Calming Qi Skills? That health cultivation method?"

Zhao Chengyu was taken aback.

Chen Yi smiled and replied, "Exactly."

Zhao Chengyu sighed, "Alright then. If you enjoy it, I won't force it. If you find any difficulties and want to change your cultivation method,

I can try to find a way within our family, you may not be able to learn the core methods of my Zhao family, but there are other methods in the family's collection you could learn, among which there are many that are stronger than this 'Turtle Breathing Technique.'"

Chen Yi thanked him again but refused,

Not to mention learning the Zhao family's cultivation methods and signing unequal treaties,

The detrimental aspects of the methods in this world are similar, and for Chen Yi, which one he learns doesn't matter,

The 'Turtle Breathing Technique' does have a lineage in the martial world.

Chen Yi decided to return to the martial world as soon as he got the chance, being at the third layer of body refining, in terms of physical defense and strength, he had already reached the level of a martial arts master,

It's time to go back and inquire about the 'Turtle Breath Technique' and "Vajra Kung Fu."

...

Afterward, Zhao Chengyu took Chen Yi and Liu Huo to a manor located several dozen miles deep into the island,

"Brother Chen, Brother Liu, this is the Moon Lake Manor, a subsidiary vein of our Zhao Family Island's spiritual veins is beneath it. Cultivating here will bring the effects of the first tier spiritual vein,

it's sufficient for cultivation up to the late-stage of Qi Cultivation.

You two will practice here in the future. Here are the methods to set up arrays for the two courtyards. Once you each pick a place, you can change the method to open the array.

Of course, the premise is that you can operate the basic Mana."

"Also, Brother Liu, here are ten Peiyuan Pills, enough for a year's worth of cultivation.

Since you've signed a contract with me to be a Daoist Protector, it's inevitable that you'll accompany me to dangerous places in the future, so your current priority should be to improve your strength."

"Yes, I won't let Brother Zhao down!" Liu Huo eagerly received the pills.

And though Chen Yi didn't receive any, he didn't feel discouraged, Liu Huo deserved it as he signed the Daoist Protector's contract.

His current priority is to begin Qi Cultivation, set up the array, and then find a chance to return to the martial world.

However, before Zhao Chengyu leaves, Chen Yi asked to borrow a few books about the Immortal Cultivation World from the Zhao family,

Zhao Chengyu agreed without hesitation for any knowledge that didn't involve cultivation methods.

.....

Chen Yi picked a courtyard close to the lake on the island,

The reason this manor is called Moon Lake Manor is that it's built around the crescent moon shaped lake on the island,

and the water vein of this lake is a branch of the second tier spiritual vein in the center of Zhao Family Island.

Chen Yi is good with water and familiar with things in it, so he naturally picked a place close to the lake when choosing his residence,

He was thinking about digging a tunnel in the yard that connects to the bottom of the lake for safety,

But that's a concern for later.

Right now, cultivation is the priority.

Everything was prepared in the small courtyard, Zhao Chengyu even thoughtfully prepared a month's supply of spiritual rice. It seemed that these were deducted from his own share,

Chen Yi silently took note of this.

When he returned to his room, Chen Yi closed his eyes and practiced the 'Turtle Breathing Technique' once. Even though the pace of his breathing was extremely slow,

in this first tier spiritual vein land, there was certainly a huge difference from the outside world,

In just two hours, Chen Yi felt a thread of Mana forming in his body and slowly flowing.

This was his second thread of Mana, but he didn't even reach the first layer of Qi refinement yet,

To reach the first layer, there's no specific limit to the quantity of internal mana, but it should be able to support a complete 'Great Heavenly Cycle' within his body.

Currently, these two threads of mana in Chen Yi can't even complete one-tenth of the 'Great Heavenly Cycle' before it's exhausted,

And this is when he intentionally controlled his vitality and blood power during Qi refining so it wouldn't devour this mana energy.

Chen Yi tried once before on the ship, he took three days to refine a thread of mana, but when he was practicing 'Vajra Sutra,' it couldn't resist the temptation,
