Chapter 36: Breath Suppression Technique

The night wind passed through the small courtyard, lifting a few withered leaves that spun in circles on the ground.

Su Ming sat cross-legged on the smooth, worn bluestone in the yard, his eyes closed, his breathing steady, yet his mind was like a pot of boiling water, difficult to calm.

His master was going to teach him real immortal techniques.

"Disciple, concentrate your spirit, calm your energy."

Lin Yu's voice echoed in his mind, carrying a hint of hoarseness from having just woken up, yet it rang like a massive bell, instantly suppressing Su Ming's chaotic thoughts.

"Yes, Master." Su Ming took a deep breath, striving to sink his excitement and anticipation deep into his heart.

"What I will teach you today is called the 'Aura Concealment Art'. This method is not for offense, not for slaughter, but solely for the concept of 'concealment'," Lin Yu's voice was matter-of-fact, devoid of any discernible emotion. "You must remember, when walking in the world, the enemies you can see are never as terrifying as the enemies you cannot see. Making yourself disappear among the masses, like a drop of water merging into the ocean, is the path to self-preservation and longevity."

Lin Yu thought to himself: "Lesson one: On the Self-Cultivation of an Actor. How to disguise a dazzling protagonist as an utterly ordinary extra. Master this lesson, and living until the grand finale isn't just a dream!"

Su Ming felt a chill in his heart, etching the principle of 'concealment' firmly into his mind.

"The essence of the 'Aura Concealment Art' is not to have you cultivate some sinister, evil energy. That is not the righteous path and would also taint your foundation," Lin Yu continued to explain. "Its core is to have you learn to control yourself. Your yang energy, or rather, your 'vitality', is currently like an oil lamp without a lampshade, blazing fiercely in the dark night. To those hungry ghosts and evil spirits, you are more tempting than the sweetest flesh and blood."Lin Yu thought to himself: "It's like being the biggest, reddest cherry on a Black Forest cake, complete with a flashing neon sign that says 'Come eat me!' This master's heart is weary."

"What you need to do is learn to put a lampshade on this lamp, or even learn to temporarily retract the flame back into the wick, making it look like an extinguished lamp."

Su Ming nodded, somewhat understanding. The analogy was vivid, and he could grasp it.

"Then, the first step: perception." Lin Yu's voice became ethereal. "Forget the spiritual energy you perceive during your usual meditation, and forget the flow of blood in your body. Go and feel something more fundamental... your 'warmth'."

"Warmth?" Su Ming was taken aback.

"Yes, warmth. You are alive, so your body is warm. This warmth is the most superficial manifestation of your yang energy. Now, close your eyes, sink your heart, and go feel it. It envelops your internal organs, flows through your limbs and bones, emanates from every pore of your body, forming an invisible halo. Go find it, feel it."
