Greetings, fellow Daoists:

Based on feedback from fellow readers that the book title and content did not match, we have contacted the editor to change the title.

New book title: I loaded the Life-Saving Flow panel.

I earnestly request that you, fellow cultivators, take a moment from your busy schedules to click "follow up" on this post. Thank you so much!

...The following is the main text...

Time flies, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the three acres of spirit fields, the one acre of "Azure Jade Spirit Rice" planted last year has matured, and the other two types of second-tier spirit plants planted two years ago have finally matured as well.

Upon seeing the system notification, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but swear:

"Holy crap, this is a huge find!"

[600 plants of Tier 2 low-grade spiritual plant "Azure Jade Spirit Rice" have been discovered. Consuming them will grant an additional 60 years of lifespan.]

[500 low-grade Tier 2 spiritual plants, "Golden Ginseng," have been discovered. Consuming one will grant an additional 100 years of lifespan.]

[400 Tier 2 Low-Grade Spirit Plants "Violet" have been discovered. Consuming one will grant an additional 80 years of lifespan.]

[300 low-grade Tier 2 spiritual plants, "Vermilion Fruit," have been discovered. Consuming one will grant 90 years of lifespan.]

[300 low-grade Tier 2 spiritual plants, "Mysterious Origin Ganoderma," have been discovered. Consuming one will grant an additional 60 years of lifespan.]

Seeing the system's prompts, Jiang Chuan was overjoyed, his face beaming with excitement.

"Haha, it's definitely necessary to conduct a comparative experiment. This way, we can select the most suitable spiritual plants to grow."

He considered it in his mind.

Calculated based on half an acre

Planting "Azure Jade Spirit Rice" grants one a lifespan of 30 years each year.

If you cultivate "Golden Ginseng", it will mature in two years and you can harvest a 100-year lifespan, with an average of 50 years of lifespan harvested each year.

Planting violets can yield an average of 40 years of lifespan per year.

"Zhu Guo" takes 45 years, and "Xuan Yuan Zhi" takes 30 years.

These are all the maximum lifespan that can be obtained when the spirit plant itself is not retained and it is completely absorbed.

Of course, the value of different spiritual plants is also completely different.

For example, even though both are second-tier low-grade spiritual herbs, the value of a 'Mysterious Origin Ganoderma' is more than twice that of a 'Golden Ginseng'.

But for him, at this stage, the value of the spiritual plants themselves is not that important.

"All things considered, planting golden ginseng is the most cost-effective. Planting it on all three acres of spiritual land can yield an annual benefit equivalent to 300 years of lifespan, even surpassing the Qi Refining stage. If I can survive for another ten or eight years, I might be able to create the Foundation Establishment chapter of the Chaos Dao Scripture and attempt to break through to the Golden Core stage..."

Golden Ginseng is a second-tier low-grade spiritual plant similar to ginseng. It is easy to cultivate and maintain, and is mainly used as an auxiliary material for refining various foundation-building pills. It contains a large amount of vitality.

In the Yanhu Lingtian area, golden ginseng is widely cultivated and is not considered a rare medicinal herb.

"That's a happy decision. From now on, we'll plant golden ginseng."

"Devour them all!"

[Remaining lifespan: 423 years]

Looking at his remaining lifespan of 423 years, Jiang Chuan was overjoyed. He pondered whether to save it for creating a new cultivation technique or to improve a certain weakness first.

"Creating a cultivation technique is not urgent for now. A mere four hundred years of lifespan is far from enough. In any case, if we wait two more years, we can gain another 600 years of lifespan."

"The Cloud Dream Secret Realm is about to open. Since we are going to enter it, we must prepare in advance and try to obtain some cultivation techniques and treasures. I have escape and concealment techniques, but I still lack a powerful attack technique."

Jiang Chuan pondered for a moment and then made a decision.

Prioritize upgrading attack techniques.

"I previously created the 'Slaughtering Sword Technique' by combining various attack techniques, including sword control. Now I also have the superior Golden Core cultivation technique, the 'Void-Piercing Sword Technique,' which contains a powerful attack technique called 'Void-Piercing Sword Qi.' By combining it with other attack techniques, I think that should be enough..."

[You dedicate your lifespan to comprehending the "Sky-Piercing Sword Technique"]

[You have devoted yourself to studying the cultivation technique for forty years, and finally comprehended the "Breaking Void Sword Art" to the "Perfect" level, gaining a new understanding of the Golden Core Dao and comprehending the "Breaking Void Sword Qi".]

"...Phew, as expected of the Golden Core cultivation method. It took me 40 years to fully comprehend it."

After sensing it for a moment, Jiang Chuan had a sudden thought. A golden sword aura, about the thickness of a thumb, appeared before him, radiating terrifying power, like a super-powered laser beam, containing enough power to destroy the world.

"Is this the 'Sky-Piercing Sword Qi'? I wonder how powerful it is."

Jiang Chuan did not give it his all at Yanhu Courtyard.

Once one's cultivation reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, it can be described as "city-destroying level," with power so great that it can easily destroy a small city.

"This sword energy that pierces through the air contains a trace of spatial conception, and its killing power is extremely strong, no weaker than the [Azure Lake Sunset] that Tong Yan cultivates. If I were to activate it with my chaotic magic power, its power would probably be no weaker than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator, right?"

The "Sword Qi that Pierces the Void" at the fingertips constantly changes, sometimes long, sometimes short, sometimes thick, sometimes thin, sometimes soft, sometimes hard, its changes unpredictable and quite mysterious.

He unleashed a wisp of "air-piercing sword energy" as thin as a hair, then retrieved a piece of bone from a black-crowned golden eagle.

"~Illness~"

Click!

The beast skeleton, comparable to a low-grade spiritual weapon, was pierced through with a small hole by the sword energy.

Jiang Chuan's pupils contracted, his eyes showing shock, and he secretly thought it was a pity.

"Unfortunately, this 'Breaking the Void Sword Technique' is a technique of the Biyang Immortal Sect. Using it directly would easily expose our abilities. We still need to integrate it and make it our own."

Next,

Jiang Chuan spent another 20 years of his lifespan learning several other second-tier sword techniques before he began to refine and integrate the various classics in order to create a powerful attack technique.

[Based on the "Slaughtering Sword Technique," you have integrated various sword techniques such as the "Sky-Piercing Sword Qi," the "Gengjin Returning to Origin Sword," and the "Azure Lotus Sword Song," absorbing the essence of swordsmanship and pursuing ultimate speed, ultimate lethality, and ultimate endurance...]

[A myriad of ideas flood your mind as you strive to create your own unique killing sword technique. After eighty years of deep contemplation, a flash of inspiration strikes, and you begin to create your own sword technique... Thirty years later, the sword technique is successfully created.]

[Wielding the sword with despair, gathering death energy into armor, the killing sword aura destroys all things. It can absorb and devour the life force of living beings to replenish itself, growing stronger with each battle and possessing endurance. The "Killing Sword Technique" is initially formed.]

next moment,

His insights into the 2.0 version of "Slaughtering Sword Technique" were like a sudden awakening, flowing into his mind and becoming his resources for swordsmanship.

After comparing it with many other sword techniques such as "Breaking Through the Sky Sword Qi", Jiang Chuan was even more satisfied.

"Haha, not bad, not bad. In terms of power alone, it is even stronger than the 'Sword Qi of Breaking the Void,' and it also has the function of absorbing the enemy's life force to replenish itself. It can also absorb death energy and transform it into a killing armor to cover the whole body... No wonder it is a heaven-defying secret technique that took 170 years to create..."

"With the 2.0 version of the Killing Sword Technique, with my chaotic mana at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, killing Tong Yan, who is at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, will be as easy as killing a chicken."

"The journey to the secret realm is complete!"

I glanced at the panel; my remaining lifespan is 253 years.

Jiang Chuan thought about it and decided not to continue wasting his life.

Whether it's a body-refining technique or a divine sense cultivation technique, creating a heaven-defying technique comparable to the "Chaos Dao Scripture" requires more than a few hundred years of lifespan.

As for sects like Biyang Immortal Sect, they only have a few common cultivation techniques, which are completely beneath his notice.

Moreover, he also planned to prioritize the evolution of the Foundation Establishment chapter of the Chaos Dao Scripture.

"Now, everything is ready, we just need to wait for the secret realm to open."

…………

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

The Cloud Dream Secret Realm has officially opened.

Jiang Chuan used his innate divine ability to create a clone, which flew towards the entrance of the secret realm outside Yunmeng Immortal City...
