Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises-Chapter 424 - 170: Golden Qi Blood (Part 2)

’I wonder if a draw counts as undefeated in a hundred matches. It should, right?’

Lin Zheyu silently mused in his heart.

"Mr. Zhao, there’s no need to belittle yourself. To survive an assassination attempt by the Soul-Calling Tower assassins shows that your strength does not pale in comparison to those geniuses."

Lee Mengxi said with a smile.

On the road to Wuji Manor, he saw Zhao Hao not only survive the assassination attempt from the Soul-Calling Tower assassins but almost injure them.

To be honest, he was quite surprised.

"That’s right."

"Moreover, Mr. Zhao has yet to condense True Intent. Should he manage to do so, his strength would significantly improve."

Xu Zifan said with a smile.

Lin Zheyu lightly nodded, shifting the topic.

He took out the bottle of wine he had brought along, entrusted by Mr. Yang for him to taste once returned.

"I happened upon a bottle of Intoxicated Dream Nectar, and I specially brought it for you to taste."

Lin Zheyu opened the sealed cork, and the rich aroma of wine immediately spread.

This specially crafted wine, taking out the bottle given by Mr. Yang, he said with a smile.

Back at the pavilion, facing two powerful elders, Lin Zheyu didn’t much feel like savoring it.

But even taking it in gulps, he could discern the wine’s excellence.

Rich and fragrant, elegant and delicate, soft upon entry, full-bodied and ornate, with a lingering aftertaste.

A rare fine wine indeed.

"It’s Intoxicated Dream Nectar, something even I can’t get my hands on. Mr. Zhao, impressive!" Xu Zifan’s eyes lit up, unable to hold back his words.

"This is West Phoenix Palace’s top-tier wine. I only had a cup this morning. I didn’t expect to enjoy it again here."

"Mr. Zhao, where did you get this wine?"

Lee Mengxi asked curiously.

He knew Lin Zheyu’s background; apart from them, he recognized no one else here.

"It was given to me by a senior named Mr. Yang from the Infinite Sect," Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

"Mr. Yang?"

"I’ve never heard of a senior by that name in the Infinite Sect. Is he some hidden master?"

Xu Zifan pondered for a bit, confirming he hadn’t heard the name before.

"I’ve never heard it either. Even my father couldn’t obtain Intoxicated Dream Nectar. For him to gift such a large jar, he must wield great influence!"

"Mr. Zhao, you’re going to develop greatly this time!"

Xiong Yonghao said with some excitement.

As a symbol of identity, Intoxicated Dream Nectar is unavailable to most ordinary families.

For someone to gift such wine to Zhao Hao indicates their considerable regard for him.

"Mr. Zhao, has this person invited you to join the Infinite Sect?"

Lee Mengxi eagerly asked. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

He knew that with Mr. Zhao’s displayed talent, powerful sects would personally recruit him.

"Hmm."

"There’s something I’m curious about."

"Don’t top sects only recruit martial artists under thirteen? Why would they recruit someone my age?"

Lin Zheyu voiced his inner doubt.

What was once unattainable suddenly falling from the sky made him feel a surreal sense of disbelief.

"Amazing!"

"Mr. Zhao is indeed extraordinarily talented!"

Upon hearing Lin Zheyu’s confirmation, Xiong Yonghao, Xu Zifan, Lee Mengxi, and others all showed expressions of admiration and surprise.

After a while, Lee Mengxi spoke to clarify.

"That arena challenge is set up for martial artists from ordinary backgrounds to showcase their power and talent."

"Every year, talented martial artists emerge, attracting the attention of great forces and noble families, who offer them opportunities."

"But it’s been years since I’ve seen a top-tier sect like the Infinite Sect personally invite a martial artist to join."

"Mr. Zhao’s martial talent is even more incredible than imagined!"

Lee Mengxi said admiringly, feeling a bit conflicted inside.

He held a high opinion of Zhao Hao’s martial talent but had not anticipated it to be of such a level.

Only with extraordinarily remarkable martial talent would such a top-tier sect as the Infinite Sect offer an invitation; otherwise, they seldom recruit martial artists over thirteen.

Originally, he had a chance to recruit Zhao Hao to the Lee Family.

With several months before the Soul-Calling Tower assassination became dated, he might have persuaded Zhao Hao.

Unexpectedly, taking Zhao Hao to see the world on a whim, Zhao Hao soared, drawing the Infinite Sect’s attention.

"Whoa, to think I’m lucky enough to make such a friend."

"The last invitee of the four top-tier sects of the Guanghua Domain was Xiao Shi from the War God Sect, now ranked in the top thirty on the Hidden Dragon List."

Unable to restrain himself, Xiong Yonghao exclaimed.

Only with monstrous talent would the four top sects of the Guanghua Domain break tradition to recruit societal martial artists.

Martial artists recruited by them invariably ascend to the ranks of Great Wei’s Celestial Pride.

Hearing their exclamations, Lin Zheyu slightly relaxed his breath.

It seems normal; there should be no hidden tricks.

"No way, we must celebrate properly today."

"Let’s go, tonight I’m buying, let’s have fun at Yihong Flower Boat," Xu Zifan said, after downing a glass and patting his chest.

The group excitedly headed to Yihong Flower Boat after enjoying some drinks.

The women at Yihong Flower Boat are all beauties, trained with special Charm Skills that enchant deep to the bone.

When Lin Zheyu returned to the courtyard, it was already late.

Lee Mengxi satisfied, legs slightly weak.

Cruel moonlight spilled down, reflecting his face full of joy.

Although he felt regret for missing the opportunity to recruit Zhao Hao, this future Celestial Pride, joining the Infinite Sect proved still an excellent outcome.

With Zhao Hao’s connections, his and Lee Mengqi’s treatment in the Lee Family would improve considerably.
