With just one breath, Lin Jin could feel the effects. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the effects were instantaneous. Putting aside the question of whether this breathing technique could raise his blood contract level, just the fact that he could calm himself down, sharpen his vision, and clear his mind after breathing was already impressive enough. It would be good to practice more on a daily basis.
This breathing technique had a name, 'Taoist Taiyi Breathing Technique'. Just the name itself was impressive enough.
Lin Jin was curious where the Museum of Deadly Beasts got its hands on these things. However, the museum's origins were shrouded in mystery so Lin Jin couldn't find the answer for now.
After three breaths, the surrounding spirit energy was completely stirred.
Humans had weaker senses so they didn't notice it, but the pet beasts in the room were startled and looked around.
Xiao Huo, who was lying beside Lin Jin, merely looked up before going back to napping.
After cultivating Beast Energy Formation Part Two, Xiao Huo felt a little drowsy. Whenever he had the chance, he would lie down and doze off.
Lin Jin felt the spirit energy being inhaled and the murky air being exhaled. Encouraged, he continued breathing.
This was spirit devouring.
To increase the efficiency, Lin Jin even used the pulse-seeking technique to prick a few of his acupoints to increase the rate of breathing.
Ten breaths.
In just ten breaths, Lin Jin had 'devoured' all the spirit energy in the Spirit Library.
There was no more spirit energy.
The spirit energy here was thin to begin with. If it were anywhere else, it wouldn't even be one-tenth of the spirit energy here.
Lin Jin could feel that spirit devouring was no longer effective.
It was like fishing. All the big and small fishes in this area had been fished out. No matter how amazing this spirit devouring technique was, there were no more fish left to catch.
Lin Jin had no choice but to stop.
The Spirit Devouring Breathing Technique was very powerful. Perhaps in ancient times, it was an incredible cultivation technique. But now, this cultivation technique had no effect.
The spirit energy in the library was so thin that he couldn't even take ten breaths. There wasn't even enough spirit energy outside. Hence, it wasn't a wise choice to rely on this technique to improve his strength at this stage.
However, even if he only took ten breaths, the effects were obvious. Lin Jin could feel his physical strength improving, but by how much, he had no idea. He could imagine that in ancient times, when spirit energy was abundant, if he used this spirit devouring technique, he might be able to raise his blood contract level to the ninth realm in just one night.
If spirit devouring didn't work, he would change.
Vein Forging Method.
When Lin Jin said this was the most suitable cultivation method, he wasn't being baseless. This vein strengthening method used pills and the pulse-seeking technique to continuously tear and repair the body's veins. Breaking down and rebuilding the body's veins was the only way to improve.
If one did not know the Pulse Seeking Acupuncture Technique, there was no way to cultivate this technique.
Lin Jin looked up and noticed that there seemed to be more people in this room on the west side. It was getting a little crowded.
He planned to change places.
He brought Xiaohuo out and went to the second room on the west side.
Although there were people here, there were also many empty spaces.
After finding a book and holding it in his hands, Lin Jin took out a small needle and began cultivating the vein strengthening method.
Within the human body, there were hundreds of acupoints and 108 major acupoints. The meridians were the blood vessels that connected the five viscera and six bowels to the various acupoints. The Forging Meridian Technique required one to reforge the meridians bit by bit.
It was time-consuming, strenuous, and painful.
Lin Jin had just attempted to reforge one of the veins in his Sea of Breath when the pain made his forehead sweat profusely and he almost cried out in pain.
But once Meridian Forging began, it had to be completed, otherwise it would only harm the body.
Hence, no matter how painful it was, Lin Jin had to endure it. He even had to use the pulse-seeking technique to mend the veins himself.
By the time the veins were reforged, Lin Jin looked like he was on the verge of collapse. His face was pale and his back was drenched in sweat.
He had obviously overlooked an important matter.
This vein strengthening technique didn't require one to be the main needle. Even in the ancient era of immortals, someone else was required to hold the needle while the practitioner only had to focus on cultivating.
After all, it was difficult enough to endure the pain. Requiring one to perform the acupuncture technique on top of that was torture.
However, the Forging Meridian Technique in the museum didn't mention this so Lin Jin had no idea that he was doing the splits.
Noticing that Lin Jin was in pain, Xiaohuo could only wander around anxiously, unable to offer any help at all.
At the same time, outside the Spirit Library.
Chen Cheng stood at a far corner with a few of his trusted aides beside him.
"Did you guys see it clearly? Was it Lin Jin who went in just now?" Chen Cheng asked.
One of the aides nodded. "It's true. We've seen him before so there's no way we're mistaken."
Chen Cheng nodded.
He had fabricated this rumor to make Lin Jin and Yang Jie fight. But for some reason, Yang Jie went into seclusion with their mentor, Ye Yuzhou, yesterday.
Yet, they didn't fight.
Chen Cheng was infuriated. He was jealous that Yang Jie was able to receive a private lesson from his mentor.
This was something that Chen Chen had never experienced before.
He was jealous.
However, he didn't dare to provoke Yang Jie. Since he was in a bad mood, he decided to find trouble with Lin Jin to vent his anger.
"This Lin Jin doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He even spoke rudely to Senior Yang Jie. As members of Master Ye's faction, we're all on the same side. How can we let a newbie bully us? Zhao Pi, you're full of ideas. Can you think of a way to trick him? At least make him embarrass himself."
Chen Cheng was full of tricks. He deliberately used the rumor to incite conflict between Lin Jin and Ye Yuzhou's faction.
This way, he wouldn't have to do anything himself to stir up trouble. Everyone would think that he was doing this for Senior Yang Jie's and Master Ye's faction.
Moreover, Lin Jin was recommended by Huangfu Ming. Huangfu Ming's faction had always been at odds with Master Ye's faction.
The man named Zhao Pi, who had a protruding mouth and cheeks like a monkey's, often came up with strategies for others. He let out a hearty laugh. "That's easy. I guarantee that we won't even need to use a single soldier or tribe to embarrass Lin Jin."
Chen Cheng believed him.
Among Ye Yuzhou's disciples, Zhao Pi's talent and cultivation weren't the highest. Even now, he was only on the second realm of his blood contract. But in terms of resourcefulness, Zhao Pi was second to none.
"Junior Zhao, I'll leave this to you. As you know, I've met Lin Jin before …" Chen Cheng said.
"I understand. Senior Brother Chen, just wait and see."
Having said that, a confident Zhao Pi led the group into the Spirit Library.
Meanwhile, Lin Jin was still contemplating whether he should continue cultivating the 'vein strengthening method'.
It wasn't that Lin Jin wasn't strong-willed, but cultivating this method was simply too painful. It was as if he was stabbing himself with a knife. It was too torturous.
As for the effect, Lin Jin had no idea. The meridian he had chosen was considered a very important one. Now that his meridians had been strengthened, it was noticeably more resilient. Just like the road, it could only accommodate two carriages at a time but now, it could accommodate six carriages. There must be some effect.
He still hadn't recovered from the shock. Just then, Zhao Pi brought his men to Lin Jin.
