Chapter 47: Immortal Breathing Method and Derived Sword Technique—Water Breathing!

Chapter 47: Immortal Breathing Method and Derived Sword Technique—Water Breathing!

Ye Family Courtyard.

Ye Xi was gazing up at the skylight, and a famous saying came to mind:

"There are only exhausted oxen and no unplowed fields."

If it weren't for the body-strengthening bonus given to him by the system earlier, he would probably be exhausted to death. There was truly no comparison to the physical strength of the daughter of the desert.

Just as he was lost in thought, a crisp notification sound echoed in his mind.

*[Ding~]*

*[Mission [Branching Out] complete!]*

*[Physical Strengthening +14]*

*[Hint: Physical strength has reached the threshold for cultivating immortality!]*

*[Congratulations on unlocking the Fairy Art column]*

*[Obtained the Immortal Breathing Method!]*

Hearing the term "Fairy Art," Ye Xi suddenly became alert.

In this world, immortality was possible, just like the immortal beings in Liyue. And there were those who practiced immortality, like Shen He. She had trained with a human body and later lifted a thousand-pound stone effortlessly. At that level, it was impossible to imagine what physical strength might be achieved.

Now that the system had unlocked "Fairy Art," he wondered if the rewards he received from here on would also include major abilities.

*[Hint: Immortal arts are divided into three aspects: Qi Refining, Body Refining, and God Refining.]*

*[Immortal Breathing Method (Qi Refining)—Regulate breathing rhythm, absorb aura from the air, solidify the foundation, cultivate energy, rejuvenate energy, and quickly recover strength! Can also prolong life!]*

Immortal Breathing Method?

Before Ye Xi could fully grasp it, some extra memories seemed to flow into his mind—methods and secrets of the Immortal Breathing Method.

He immediately tried it out, following the memories. As soon as he began to breathe, he felt tightness in his chest, as if he would run out of air. But this feeling lasted only a moment, and soon his entire body felt extremely comfortable. With each breath, it felt as though he could absorb some energy from the air. After a short while, he felt his body filled with renewed strength!

This led him to wonder: could the breathing technique be taught to others?

He wanted to test it with Jeht, who was beside him.

"Jeht?"

"Yes, my lord…"

The girl, looking dazed and thoroughly content, was at his side. It was as though her spirit had transcended Teyvat's sky and roamed the real stars.

"I'm about to conduct an important experiment. Try to breathe as I instruct."

Ye Xi briefly explained the technique's fundamentals. Seeing Ye Xi's serious expression, Jeht took it seriously and followed the method he described. Though it was confusing at first, after a few tries, she suddenly understood.

"Amazing!"

"It feels like my sense of smell has become sharper! I can pick up more scents in the air!"

"And I feel my lost strength is gradually returning!"

Ye Xi nodded in approval; it seemed that it could indeed be taught to others. Perhaps other cultivation techniques in the future might work as well. Even if the effects varied, at the very least, it could prolong life and increase physical strength.

Just as he was pondering this, Jeht suddenly stood up, exclaiming, "Master, I feel like I can go again!"

Ye Xi: "???"

"Wait..."

*[Forced to calm down]*

After a long while, Jeht curled up into a ball. This time, it felt like she saw stars emitting brilliant light in the sky it was magnificent. At that moment, she felt as if a radiant light was shining right before her eyes.

A glowing God's Eye appeared out of thin air, descending upon her.

"This... is the Eye of the Water Element God!?"

Jeht held up the Eye of God in awe, rubbing her eyes, thinking it was a hallucination.

At the same time, a notification sounded in Ye Xi's mind.

*[Ding~]*

*[Branch [Jeht] obtained the Eye of the Water Element God!]*

*[Learned the Immortal Breathing Method!]*

*[Mastered the basics of [Water Breathing] Sword Technique!]*

*[Unlocked the first three forms]*

*[Water Breathing First Form: Water Surface Slash]*

*[Water Breathing Second Form: Water Wheel]*

*[Water Breathing Third Form: Flowing Dance]*

*[Reward distribution complete, please continue to fulfill the follow-up task [Scattered Leaves]!]*

Hearing the rewards, Ye Xi's face was filled with question marks.

???

What was going on here?

Why was the Immortal Breathing Method related to Water Breathing? They weren't even similar!

The system's rewards left Ye Xi completely bewildered.

But he discovered that not only had Jeht learned Water Breathing, but he also had relevant memories in his mind.

In other words, he had learned it too.

But the problem is, in Teyvat, this swordsmanship feels like a gimmick and doesn't seem very useful to him.

"My lord! This!"

"This swordsmanship memory that suddenly appeared! Did you give it to me?"

Jeht eyes widened as she sensed the techniques that had suddenly surfaced in her mind. She was astonished.

"Master! I want to try it right now!"

With that, Jeht could hardly wait to get up.

Ye Xi's gaze darkened: "You might want to put on some clothes first."

He truly admired this woman.

It was their first night together, after such a long and intense encounter, yet she was immediately eager to practice swordsmanship on the ground.

Doesn't it hurt?

Sure enough, Jeht lost her footing and collapsed on top of him.

Jeht was captivated by her newfound power.

It was the Eye of God! She had obtained her own God's Eye! Not only that, but she had also inherited a swordsmanship technique! These powers could all determine her future strength and allow her to exact revenge!

Even if it was a little uncomfortable to walk right now, so what?

She changed into simpler clothes and stepped to the center of the room. The moonlight streaming down through the skylight fell on her slender form, like a thin veil draping over her.

Slowly, she drew her twin blades and began using the Immortal Breathing Method that Ye Xi had just taught her. Jeht lips parted slightly, and she inhaled deeply.

*[Water Breathing First Form: Water Surface Slash!]*

Although her memory depicted a long sword for the slash, she was more skilled with twin blades.

At that moment, Ye Xi seemed to hear the sound of rushing water. The Eye of the Water Element God glowed with a faint light.

Swish—

The gleam of the blade flashed, and flowing water enveloped the twin blades.

Jeht was awestruck.

This swordsmanship actually harnessed elemental power so well!

Not everyone who obtains the Eye of God can immediately wield it freely. It often requires time and practice before the power of the elements can be fully utilized. Yet, using this sword technique, she was able to instantly control and direct the water element with ease.

"So powerful!"

"Master! It's so powerful!"

Though Ye Xi had heard this praise earlier, he didn't mind hearing it again.

Jeht practiced a few times but soon grew tired. After all, today had been exhausting.

She returned to the bed and asked hesitantly, "Master, I want to go back to the desert tomorrow. Is that alright?"

"With the power of the Eye of God, I want to go back and take my revenge!"

"Besides, if [The Legacy of the God King] isn't dealt with, it will eventually cause trouble for you."

This piqued Ye Xi's curiosity: "What kind of trouble?"

"Master, judging by your skills, you must be the one who appeared in Sumeru City!"

Seeing Ye Xi's puzzled look, Jeht explained, "Yesterday, in Sumeru City, a team from [Legacy of the God King] was annihilated by a powerful figure, leaving only one newcomer to escape and spread the word."

"I heard that the assailant's methods were incredibly efficient, and everyone was taken down in an instant."

"According to information from Sumeru City insiders, someone left a Mora at the scene, so the disciplinary officer, Cyno, has dubbed you Mora Man!"

"It's all over the city now; even children are calling you Mora Man!"

After listening to Jeht story, Ye Xi's expression darkened.

What a ridiculous nickname!

Typical of Cyno to be so abstract! He'd casually tossed that Mora on the ground; if he'd known this would happen, he wouldn't have done it.

Ye Xi sighed and said, "Though I don't want to admit it, I did kill a few Gilded Brigade mercenaries before."

Jeht had already guessed it.

After witnessing Ye Xi's strength in the afternoon, she realized that Ye Xi was indeed the powerful figure the organization had been discussing.

"Master, you'll need to be careful then."

"The orders Hamzah received were not just to rob you, but also to exact revenge on those who had come before."

"They don't know it's you, but now that Hamzah has lost contact, Mishal will definitely send more people."

"And the Legacy of the God King's tactics will only become more vicious and frequent."

These words made Ye Xi thoughtful.

The Festival of the Flower Goddess would be here in just a few days. If the Legacy of the God King caused trouble then, it might disrupt his plans.

In that case, why not go to the desert and test the power of [Railgun] and [Black Flame] along the way?

It would only take a day, so nothing would be delayed.

With that in mind, he nodded and said, "Jeht, I'll help you fulfill your wish for revenge."

"Tomorrow, we'll set out with Dehya."

At that moment, Jeht was touched.

If she were alone, facing the entire [Legacy of the God King] would mean braving countless dangers. But with Ye Xi by her side, she feared nothing!

"Thank you, Master!"

"It's wonderful that Master isn't some old monster! I'm so lucky to be blessed by Master..."

Jeht closed her eyes and drifted into a sweet dream.
