Chapter 55 The Secret of the Golden Core, Harvest from a Tier 2 Spirit Field
In the following period, Jiang Chuan once again entered a period of seclusion (health preservation).
Every day, apart from occasionally tending to the three acres of spiritual fields, I spend the rest of my time reading, fishing, and barbecuing. I live a very happy life.
Originally, he planned to sell the corpse of the black-crowned golden eagle he killed and Yao Dan for spirit stones, but after his clone self-destructed, he suddenly felt that this was not a good idea.
The Black-crowned Golden Eagle is a ferocious beast from the edge of the Yunmeng Mountains. More than ten years ago, it attacked Taihu Market, and many disciples of the Biyang Immortal Sect fought against it.
And when he killed the black-crowned golden eagle on the edge of Taihu Market, it seems someone noticed.
If I were to sell the Black-crowned Golden Eagle's carcass in Yunmeng Immortal City, wouldn't that be an admission of guilt?
Who knows what trouble this might cause?
I'll just keep it for myself and make a plan after things calm down...
After the cultivation technique completed a full cycle, watching the wisps of liquid mana increase within his dantian,
Jiang Chuan shook his head with a wry smile.
"...Sigh, after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, my cultivation speed has become incredibly slow. Even with my current cultivation speed using a superior-grade wood spiritual root, it would take forever to reach the peak of the first level of Foundation Establishment. Without the aid of pills, spiritual materials, or other external resources, it would take at least a hundred years..."
"Although this immortal-grade Dao foundation is extremely powerful, it is clearly not something that a high-grade spiritual root can possess. I still need to cultivate desperately."
"I wonder, if I also raise my other elemental roots to the level of high-grade elemental roots, will my cultivation speed increase?"
He didn't know much about the secrets of spiritual roots, and he had only raised his wood spiritual root to 61 points, which was roughly equivalent to a high-grade spiritual root.
"Perhaps we can give it a try. If improving other spiritual roots can also increase cultivation efficiency, it would be more worthwhile to improve spiritual roots first."
He put cultivation aside.
Jiang Chuan began studying the "Sky-Piercing Sword Technique" again.
This is the only high-grade Golden Core stage cultivation technique he obtained from the Biyang Immortal Sect. It is mainly based on swordsmanship and has some spatial attribute elements. It can condense extremely powerful "Void-Piercing Sword Qi" and can be cultivated up to the early Golden Core stage...
He has learned quite a bit about the secrets of Foundation Establishment cultivation in recent days.
However, they knew nothing about Golden Core stage cultivation.
With this "Breaking the Void Sword Technique," he was finally able to glimpse some of the secrets of the Golden Core.
This research took more than half a year.
He finally gained a general understanding of the secrets of the Golden Elixir.
For human cultivators
After one's "Dao Foundation" is perfected, one undergoes a final essential transformation to face the baptism of the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. If one successfully transcends the tribulation, the Dao Foundation can be transformed into a "Dao Seed," also known as the "Immortal Golden Elixir."
Golden Cores are also divided into nine grades. A Grade 1 Golden Core has one line on it, a Grade 2 Golden Core has two lines on it, and so on until a Grade 9 Golden Core has nine lines.
Dao patterns represent the growth potential of a "Dao Seed," and can be fused into magical artifacts to create natal magical artifacts. These artifacts grow alongside the artifact itself, possessing limitless potential. The more Dao patterns one has, the more natal magical artifacts one can create…
The Golden Core undergoes nine transformations, each transforming into a new realm. Only after the transformation is complete and integrated with one's own profound understanding can the Dao Seed be nurtured, allowing it to sprout and eventually give birth to the Nascent Soul...
A sudden realization flashed through Jiang Chuan's mind:
"So that's how it is. The Golden Core cultivation path in this world is just as I thought—quite extraordinary. Interesting, very interesting..."
…………
Time flies by, and the years slip by unnoticed in the practice.
In the blink of an eye, another six months have passed.
Of the six second-grade low-level spiritual plants planted previously, one annual spiritual plant, "Azure Jade Spirit Rice," has already matured.
Jade Spirit Rice is a second-tier spiritual plant. Its grains are amber in color and contain abundant spiritual energy. It tastes exceptionally delicious and is very popular in Yunmeng Immortal City, serving as a staple food for many cultivators.
Although after completing the "Qi Induction" process, cultivators have already transcended their mortal bodies and no longer need to eat; they can maintain this state for a long time by consuming fasting pills.
However, there are many restaurants in the cultivation world. In addition to their delicious taste, some spiritual foods and dishes are also very beneficial to cultivation and can improve one's cultivation level.
Among the myriad arts of cultivation, there is one called "Spirit Chef," which ranks among the top ten, second only to professions such as alchemy, weapon crafting, formation making, and talisman making...
Jiang Chuan arrived at the half-acre spirit field where "Azure Jade Spirit Rice" was planted. Looking at the golden rice paddy, he felt a little uneasy.
I don't know how much lifespan a second-tier spiritual plant can grant him. If it's too little, it will be impossible for him to break through quickly in the future.
[300 low-grade Tier 2 spiritual plants "Azure Jade Spirit Rice" have been discovered. Consuming one will grant 30 years of lifespan.]
Upon seeing the system notification, Jiang Chuan's anxious heart finally relaxed.
"...Haha, not bad at all, much more than I expected. On average, each tree can increase its lifespan by 0.1 years, so half an acre can increase its lifespan by 30 years."
He calculated that if he planted all three acres of second-tier spirit fields with jade spirit rice now, he could gain 180 years of lifespan per year.
The harvest is the same as that of planting blood ginseng during the Qi Refining stage.
Jiang Chuan did not harvest immediately, but looked at the other spiritual plants in the spiritual field, his heart filled with anticipation.
According to his observations and experiments,
Under the same conditions, the lifespan contained in spiritual herbs is much longer than that of spiritual plants.
"I hope it will surprise me!"
Jiang Chuan's lips curled up slightly as he silently chanted "Devour!"
[By consuming 300 low-grade second-tier spiritual plants, "Azure Jade Spirit Rice," I have gained 30 years of lifespan.]
"His remaining lifespan has reached 320 years."
Jiang Chuan was overjoyed. After testing the effects of the second-tier spirit field, he could continue his arduous cultivation.
The various secret techniques he currently knows are all only at the Qi Refining stage and are no longer sufficient to keep up with his current strength.
For example, his battle with Tong Yan, who was in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, was purely a matter of brute force and miracles, without any skill involved.
"The Condensing Essence Grass will mature in a few days, and then it can be consumed."
Jiang Chuan glanced around and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
Unlike Taihu Fangshi,
In the second-tier spirit fields of Yunmeng Immortal City, each one is separate and separated by arrays, so there is no need to worry about being spied on.
A year ago, after he moved into this spiritual field, he also set up a first-grade high-level "early warning array" as a warning.
Jiang Chuan did not immediately devote his life to cultivation, but waited for another four days, and the "Condensing Essence Grass" matured.
[500 Tier 2 Low-Grade Spirit Plants "Condensing Essence Grass" have been discovered. Consuming them will grant 25 years of lifespan.]
"The lifespan gained from consuming Condensing Essence Grass is slightly less than that gained from Azure Jade Spirit Rice."
Jiang Chuan frowned.
Condensing Essence Grass is one of the main ingredients for refining the second-grade low-level Condensing Essence Pill, which can enhance the cultivation of Foundation Establishment cultivators. In terms of value, it is much higher than Jade Spirit Rice. Half an acre of Condensing Essence Grass seeds cost him 100 low-grade spirit stones, while Jade Spirit Rice only cost him 60 low-grade spirit stones.
"The intrinsic value of the spiritual plants isn't that important to me. Anyway, I don't expect to earn spirit stones from them."
"From now on, we will no longer plant this Condensing Essence Grass."
"Devour!"
[By consuming 500 low-grade Tier 2 spiritual plants, "Condensing Essence Grass", I gained a lifespan of 25 years.]
Jiang Chuan looked at the system panel...
