Chapter 52 Poisoning
Jiang Chuan was speechless at the new changes to the [Life Barrier].
All the initial anticipation vanished in an instant.
He had previously thought that with three acres of second-tier spirit fields, he could gain a lifespan of over a thousand years each year, and in just a few years, he would be able to attempt to break through to the Golden Core stage.
But now, reality has given him a rude awakening.
After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, the lifespan I gained was reduced to one-tenth of what it used to be.
This, this...
At this moment, a mechanical notification sounded from the system.
As the host's life level changes, the lifespan gained from absorbing spiritual plants will also change accordingly.
"I see."
Jiang Chuan thought about it carefully for a while and felt that it was normal for this mechanism to exist.
In this world of cultivation, cultivators at different levels have vastly different strengths and lifespans.
With each breakthrough in a major realm, a cultivator's life level undergoes a transformation.
The life level of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is definitely much higher than that of a Qi Refining cultivator.
In this situation, the lifespan increase from consuming the same spiritual object will naturally be different.
"...Sigh, although I understand in my heart, the possibility of a rapid transformation is gone!!!"
Jiang Chuan looked up at the sky and sighed, wanting to cry but having no tears.
He observed it more carefully.
A thought struck me.
"Even though they are both first-tier spiritual herbs, the first-tier high-grade Welcoming Immortal Grass clearly grants a much longer lifespan after being consumed compared to the first-tier low-grade Blood Ginseng..."
"Perhaps, after I break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, I should look for some second-tier spiritual plants to cultivate. I don't need to pay too much attention to the economic benefits these plants can generate, but it would be best if they were common, unassuming spiritual plants with short growth cycles and abundant life energy..."
Jiang Chuan is now a first-tier high-grade spiritual plant cultivator, alchemist, array master, and talisman master...
I am quite familiar with all kinds of medicinal herbs and plants.
The characteristics of various second-tier spiritual plants flashed through Jiang Chuan's mind, and he quickly selected six of them.
Second-tier low-grade Golden Ginseng, Violet, Jade Rice, Condensing Essence Grass, Vermilion Fruit, and Mysterious Essence Ganoderma.
These six spiritual plants are all relatively common second-tier low-grade spiritual plants on the market. They have a fast growth cycle and contain abundant life energy, making them suitable for refining second-tier pills that can enhance mana and heal injuries for Foundation Establishment cultivators.
"I now have three acres of spirit fields. Let's try it out first and see which spirit plant can increase lifespan the most. The best approach is to combine all the available resources."

The residential buildings配套的居物，是的大位灵田，是的大湖坊市，是的大位灵田，是的大湖坊市，是的大位灵田，是的大位灵田，是的大位灵田配套的居物，是的大湖坊市，是的大位灵田，是的大位灵田配套的居物 ...
It is a three-room house with a small courtyard, connected to three acres of fertile land. Nestled against the mountain and beside the water, the scenery is beautiful, and the view is refreshing and serene.
If it were in a previous life, it would definitely have been a 5A-level scenic spot.
Several days later,
Jiang Chuan changed his appearance again and arrived at Yunmeng Immortal City, where he bought some seeds of spiritual plants, as well as the spiritual fertilizer needed to cultivate second-tier spiritual plants.
Then they planted it in three acres of spiritual soil, watered and fertilized it, and waited patiently for it to bloom and bear fruit...
In the blink of an eye,
More than a month has passed.
Before the newly sown spiritual plants could bloom and bear fruit,
However, the clone on the Biyang Immortal Sect's side exhibited unusual behavior.
"...Huh, is the clone's lifespan coming to an end?"
He had previously sacrificed ten years of his lifespan to maintain the existence of his clone.
Two months have passed since then.
"The conversion ratio is approximately 60:1, meaning that investing 60 years of lifespan can sustain the clone for as long as one year?"
"Should we continue to expend our lifespan to maintain the existence of this clone?"
Jiang Chuan hesitated for a moment.
During the nearly two months that I was "guests" at the Biyang Immortal Sect,
At first, he lived an exceptionally carefree life.
His status was exalted, and he had access to all sorts of rare delicacies and beautiful women at his fingertips. Even places like the Daoist Hall and the Weapon Refining Hall were open to him.
Her status is now on par with, or even higher than, Tong Yan's in the Biyang Immortal Sect.
After enjoying the company of Song Yuyao, Liu Yu, and the other two women, he indulged in debauchery for another half month.
The higher-ups of the Biyang Immortal Sect seemed to think the time was ripe, and began to have Song Yuyao and the other girls whisper in his ear under various pretexts, trying to find out what kind of cultivation technique he was practicing.
If the Biyang Immortal Sect only wants the "Dou Zi Secret," "Huan Zi Secret," and "Xing Zi Secret" for the Qi Refining stage,
After receiving so many benefits from the Biyang Immortal Sect, he didn't mind passing them on to the sect, considering it a transaction with no karmic debt.
However, what the other party wanted was not the Qi Refining stage secret techniques he had created.
For the vast and established Biyang Immortal Sect, with its over a thousand-year-old heritage, there are countless Qi Refining stage secret techniques comparable to high-grade and top-grade ones.
What they coveted was that he could trigger extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth when he broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and then reverse the fundamental cultivation techniques of the late Foundation Establishment stage after breaking through.
What he coveted was the "Chaos Dao Scripture".
How can this be tolerated?
Although the Chaos Dao Scripture currently only contains the Qi Refining chapter, this is its foundation. How could it possibly pass on its fundamental cultivation method just because of these small favors?
He politely declined with a direct reason.
After that, the attitude of the Biyang Immortal Sect towards him also changed.
They began to have the disciples of the Biyang Sect provoke, ridicule, and criticize him in various ways, putting pressure on him through public opinion.
But perhaps because of his fictitious and mysterious master, he refrained from dealing with him severely...
"The Biyang Immortal Sect probably won't be able to hold out much longer. If they really make a move, I won't be able to escape at all."
"Forget it, there's no need to waste any more of my lifespan. I'll just dissipate on my own when the time is right. Anyway, I've basically emptied the Biyang Immortal Sect's Daoist scriptures in these two months, so I have no regrets..."
"...Sigh, what should we do with Song Yuyao, Liu Yu, and the other two women?"

Inside the Purple Bamboo Hall,
On the spacious and luxurious bed,
Jiang Chuan had Song Yuyao and Liu Yu on his left and right arms respectively, while Xi Chunya and Jiang Chenlu were massaging his legs and patting his shoulders...
They lived a carefree and comfortable life.
Song Yuyao buried her head in Jiang Chuan's arms, her slender hands drawing circles on his chest, and spoke in a plaintive tone:
"Young master, tell us, what is your master like? If he met us, would he dislike us?"
A sly glint flashed in Liu Yu's eyes, and she echoed:
"Sister Yao is right. We have such poor aptitude and little comprehension. What if our grandmaster doesn't like us?"
"Young master, you possess extraordinary abilities and countless divine skills and secret techniques. Could you please help us?"
Jiang Chenlu also pleaded coquettishly, "Young master, Lulu begs you, I'll do anything you ask, and you can even unlock more positions!"
Listening to the women's words, Jiang Chuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He had long known that the four women beside him were all spies planted by the Biyang Immortal Sect, and none of them were sincere towards him.
He was thinking about how to refuse.
Suddenly, I felt something was wrong. My head felt dizzy and my body felt out of control.
A sudden thought struck him, and a certain possibility came to mind.
"Oh no, I've been poisoned?"
