If Gou Cheng becomes the Dao Ancestor, the monkey will come to become his disciple.

Moreover, the area of ​​spiritual field occupied by planting one blood ginseng or polygonatum is less than that of dragon blood rice, about two-thirds. If all the spiritual fields are planted with blood ginseng next year, a full 900 plants can be planted per mu of spiritual field.

If it were to devour everything, it would gain a lifespan of 180 years, more than three times its current lifespan.

It's exciting just thinking about it.

This result quietly dispelled most of the gloom that had been weighing on his mind for a year.

"Now, let's begin the harvest!"

Next, Jiang Chuan began to quietly devour everything when no one was around, thus gaining another 80 years of lifespan.

A surge of vitality flowed into his body, instantly turning his gray hair black and restoring his body to its youthful state.

Name: Jiang Chuan (23 years old)

[Remaining lifespan: 90 years]

【灵根：金3、木10、水2、火5、土2、风1、雷1、光1、时1、空1（可投入寿命进行演化）】

[Cultivation Level: Qi Refining Level 9 (Can be evolved using lifespan)]

[Taoist Techniques: Evergreen Skill: Mastery, True Flame Technique: Beginner, Thick Earth Skill: Beginner... Vajra Body: Mastery... Fireball Technique: Perfection, Healing Technique: Perfection, Concealing Qi Technique: Perfection, Lifting and Moving Technique: Perfection... Talisman Dao: First-Tier Mid-Grade, Alchemy: Beginner, Weapon Forging: Beginner, Array Formation: Beginner... (Can be evolved by investing lifespan)]

[Lifespan Barrier: 1 acre (Tier 1, Low Grade, can be evolved using lifespan)]

Seeing his ample lifespan, Jiang Chuan didn't need to think; he immediately began to evolve his cultivation technique by sacrificing his life force.

[You have diligently studied and comprehended the Thousand Illusions Technique for two years, and have mastered the technique to the "Proficient" level, which allows you to easily change your appearance.]

[You have devoted yourself to cultivating the Thousand Illusions Technique for ten years, and your mastery of the technique has reached the "Perfect" level. You can change your appearance at will, and it is difficult for cultivators of the same level to see through your disguise.]

Even after mastering the Thousand Illusions Technique, you were still unsatisfied. Combining it with the Concealing Qi Technique, you continued to study and cultivate, hoping to evolve a completely new technique, but progress was slow.

[After forty years of painstaking research, combined with memories from your past life, a flash of inspiration struck you, giving you a new idea for improving your cultivation technique. You attempted to create a new technique, and after five years, you created an advanced technique that can disguise your aura, conceal your cultivation level, and freely change your body and appearance. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators would find it difficult to see through.]

"Phew, after 45 years, I've finally created an advanced cultivation technique. That should be enough for now."

Jiang Chuan stopped injecting life force, the cultivation technique deduction stopped, and a large amount of insights immediately flooded into his brain, eventually forming a completely new cultivation technique.

"This brand-new cultivation technique is derived from the 'Thousand Illusions Technique' and the 'Concealing Qi Technique,' and it possesses the functions of concealing one's cultivation level and altering one's appearance and aura..."

This technique should be beyond the scope of a first-tier technique, right? I just don't know if it has reached the level of a second-tier technique.

Jiang Chuan's eyes shone brightly. With this brand-new cultivation technique, there should be few people in Taihu Market who could see through him.

"Let's see how it goes."

Jiang Chuan went to the mirror and began to practice his new cultivation technique. His body, limbs, and face began to change.

Soon, the reflection of a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old appeared in the mirror.

Tall and slender, with a curvaceous figure, full and rounded, with a playful and mischievous expression...

This is his ideal image of a "perfect girlfriend," who bears a striking resemblance to "Gongsun Li" from the TV series "Pesticide," as if she stepped out of a two-dimensional world.

Jiang Chuan circled the mirror with great interest, feeling the parts of her body that were so different from those of a man. Her pretty face flushed, and she looked slightly uncomfortable, yet also deeply moved.

"Tsk tsk, this cultivation technique is indeed powerful enough. After changing his appearance, there's absolutely no indication that anything is wrong. He looks just like a real person. Even the feel of his private parts is exceptionally delicate and soft..."

"If I had this ability in my past life, I would have become a global sensation as a cross-dresser!"

"As expected, women from the world of anime and manga are more attractive to me."

After admiring the stunning beauty of "A-Li, the most beautiful girl in the world",

Jiang Chuan circulated his cultivation technique again.

The figure of a young boy materialized; he was short, had a refined appearance, and fair skin...

It was exactly how he looked when he was around eighteen years old in his previous life.

Looking at the young Jiang Chuan in the mirror, a hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, which then became resolute.

Although I don't know why I was able to travel to this world after being hit by the car.

But he firmly believes that as long as he is strong enough, he can go against the flow of time, travel through all the worlds and across countless ages, find his previous life's Earth, and see his family and friends again.

No regrets on the sacrificial path...

"That day will come sooner or later," Jiang Chuan murmured to himself.

He used his magic again to transform his appearance into that of a middle-aged man in his forties, with graying temples, a scraggly beard, and an unkempt appearance—the look of a kind and honest spiritual plant grower.

Anyone who sees him will ignore him, look down on him, not see him as a threat, and there won't be any "femme fatale" situation.

It highlights the true meaning of "survival of the fittest".....

"By the way, we need to give this brand new cultivation technique a name. What should we call it?"

Jiang Chuan rested his chin on his hand, his gaze thoughtful, as the names of domineering martial arts techniques floated through his mind.

"The Myriad Transformations Sacred Technique?...No, it's too domineering, it doesn't suit my low-key nature of pursuing longevity."

"Illusionary God Technique? Forget it, that's probably not going to work either..."

"Let's keep it simple, like 'The Secret of Illusionary Characters'? Referring to the 'Nine Secrets' in the novel 'Covering the Sky,' I'll create my own unique 'Nine Secrets' in the future, which will be both low-key and profound, with unlimited potential, and can be used from the Qi Refining stage to the Nascent Soul stage... even the Mahayana stage, or even higher..."

Thinking about creating the "Nine Secrets" that would rival the scriptures of ancient emperors and great emperors in the future, Jiang Chuan's eyes brightened, and he felt an extraordinary sense of anticipation.

"It's decided happily that this new technique will be called 'Illusionary Word Secret' from now on. This is the most basic version 1.0 of Illusionary Word Secret, which is suitable for the Qi Refining stage. As it continues to evolve, we will release versions 2.0, 3.0, and so on..."

Having already created the basic version of "Illusory Word Secret," Jiang Chuan's mind was suddenly filled with inspiration. He thought of the other Taoist techniques he had mastered, and realized that he could give them similar names in the future.

The "Secret of Word Movement" can be deduced based on the "Art of Lifting and Releasing";

The "Fighting Secret" is deduced based on various offensive spells such as fireball and arrow-condensing techniques;

Based on weapon crafting techniques such as "Basic Notes on Weapon Crafting", the "Secret of the Military" is deduced;

Using knowledge of formations such as "Introduction to Basic Formations" to deduce the "Secret of Character Combination";

The "Secret of the Character 'Dan'" is deduced from alchemical knowledge such as "Understanding the Dao of Alchemy";

The "Secret of the Character 'Zhe'" is deduced using healing techniques such as "Healing Arts"...

"...Haha, I'm such a little genius."

Jiang Chuan quietly gave himself a thumbs up.

After deducing the basic version of the "Illusory Character Secret" with its hidden changes, Jiang Chuan, looking at his remaining 45 years of lifespan, focused his attention on the "Art of Lifting and Releasing."

Cultivating immortality is going against the will of heaven. Along the way, one must experience countless life-and-death battles. As long as one is alive, there is hope. And the first essential element of survival is learning to escape.

Even though he had kept a low profile and tried his best not to cause trouble since he transmigrated to this world, he was still coveted by thieves for no reason and went through two life-and-death battles.

He was quite lucky; both times he overwhelmed his opponents with his superior cultivation level and didn't encounter any cultivators of higher realms who dared to challenge him.

But will I always be this lucky?

Therefore, we must be prepared to flee at any time...
