Chapter 50 Synthetic Entries: Devouring Spirits and Extending Life, Inspiration
Within the dictionary, another Level 1 entry was suddenly drawn in, and the two, along with the Level 1 entry "Swallowing Qi," moved closer together.
[Level 1 affix: Absorption] + [Level 1 affix: Longevity] can be combined to create two Level 2 affix advancement paths.
Synthesis Method 1: [Level 2 Attribute: Spirit Devouring and Life Extension], which allows the user to consume items containing spiritual energy to extend their lifespan.
Synthesis Method Two: [Level 2 Attribute: Slay Spirits and Devour Lifespan], which can slay demons and other alien spiritual beings, steal their lifespan, and replenish one's own.
...
An entry that can extend lifespan!
When Lin Zhou saw the synthesis methods for these two terms, his eyes lit up.
Nowadays, in the later stages of martial arts cultivation, each breakthrough to a major realm generally extends one's lifespan, unless one cultivates demonic arts that cause significant damage to oneself, in which case lifespan will not be extended.
Generally, martial arts masters who have embarked on the right path can live to be 150 or 160 years old when they reach the Core Formation stage.
The Gang Jin (罡劲) is a lifespan that allows one to live up to two hundred years. Breaking through from the Dan (抱丹) stage to the Gang Jin stage can extend one's lifespan by several decades, which is why many martial artists strive to break through to the Gang Jin stage.
A lifespan of two hundred years is enough to extend to about three generations.
Its lifespan has largely deviated from the common concept of lifespan.
But if the term Lin Zhou has synthesized can really extend lifespan as it does, wouldn't that mean that with the blessing of this term, if he were to consume something containing spiritual energy in the future, his lifespan limit might exceed that of the Gang Jin realm?
If one has enough lifespan, combined with these attributes, reaching the Gang Jin level in the future will not be difficult.
then,
After considering it for a while, Lin Zhou chose the first synthesis method: [Level 2 Attribute: Spirit Devouring and Life Extension].
[Entry Position 1: Level 2 Phantom Silverwing Flying Leopard]
[Entry Position 2: Level 2 Spirit Devouring for Life Extension]
The previous Fire Scale Armor has been temporarily replaced.
"Could the 'miracle substance' mentioned in this entry be some kind of precious medicine?"
Lin Zhou got up from the armchair and walked to the gate outside the courtyard, to the side of the Dragon Soaring Grass.
The Dragon Vine Grass herb field was surrounded by an iron fence, which was also wrapped with many iron bars and thorns. It could be said that if an ordinary wild animal were to charge into it with brute force, it would suffer some backlash.
"This dragon vine grass must not be touched."
"But could the grass here also contain some kind of spiritual potential?"
Lin Zhou took a few steps and saw a Purple Heart Orchid. This herb was growing next to the medicinal field. It seemed that because the spiritual energy in this place was abundant, this Purple Heart Orchid was much larger than the ones he had seen in other places.
This purple orchid has few side effects; even if swallowed raw, it can help improve one's qi and blood circulation.
"Try it."
He then swallowed the purple orchid whole.
"Um?"
Lin Zhou waited for a while, but there was no response, and no prompts appeared in front of him.
"Does one really need to take such a precious medicine to have this so-called spiritual power?"
Lin Zhou glanced at the dragon vine grass in the medicinal field and shook his head. This is definitely not edible!
Each and every Dragon Vine Grass is counted. Even if a wild beast comes and damages one or two of them, it must be carefully recorded, and the beast that caused the damage must be caught and killed.
Then, Lin Zhou remembered that when he was searching the room in the courtyard, he found half a dried branch of dragon vine grass. The branch was left by Wang Dalong, whether intentionally or forgotten.
Lin Zhou returned to the east wing and took out the dried dragon vine grass.
This dragon vine grass can also be eaten raw, but it doesn't taste very good.
Lin Zhou took a bite, like eating dried beef jerky, and tore off a small piece with his teeth before tilting his head back and swallowing it.
Gudong!

Note: 1 Spirit Point can be exchanged for 1 day of lifespan.
"Is the conversion rate really that low?"
Lin Zhou's face darkened when he saw the panel notification.
It's likely that consuming a whole Dragon Vine Grass would only add one day to one's lifespan. In the medicinal field he's guarding, it wouldn't add many days to one's lifespan in total. Moreover, precious medicinal herbs are all very expensive.
Based on my own contribution points over a year, I probably wouldn't be able to exchange them for more than a few.
"If this level 2 entry is upgraded to level 3, the conversion effect should be even better!"
Lin Zhou pondered this in his heart.
"The next step is to raise my cultivation level to Ming Jin as soon as possible."
Lin Zhou's eyes were firm.
Just as his senior brother Wang Dalong had told him, there weren't many disciples in the medicinal field where he was, and it was a sparsely populated area.
The mountain range behind the mountain is a good place to look, and the precious medicinal herb, Dragon Vine Grass, is very likely to attract wild animals from the mountains.
Without the cultivation of Ming Jin, attracting a strange beast could easily destroy the medicinal field.
Lin Zhou wouldn't easily use his trump card, the Silver-Winged Flying Leopard Illusion, within the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect.
There are experts at both the Core Formation and the罡劲 (Gang Jin) levels in this mountain. If they sense the aura of some Core Formation level demon here, they might seal off this place tomorrow and conduct a thorough investigation.
At that time, I would likely be suspected.
Once suspected of being a spy for demons, one would no longer be able to stay in the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect.
One must cultivate one's own realm step by step, and only when one's cultivation reaches the Ming Jin level can one be considered to have taken the first step steadily. Only when one's cultivation reaches the Bao Dan realm or above can one be considered to have gained a firm foothold in this sect.
"Cultivation!"
Lin Zhou began practicing the Tiger-Crane Double Fist in the martial arts training ground within the courtyard.
There are several branches for further advancement in this boxing style.
The two fist techniques, Tiger and Crane, can be broken through to the Ming Jin level, and one can even cultivate the Tiger and Crane Profound Sword Scripture.
However, the contribution points for this sword manual are quite valuable and need to be accumulated.
The only thing Lin Zhou could think of was becoming an alchemist within the sect and accumulating contribution points by refining more pills.
It was evening.
Chen Erxiong, a kitchen handyman, brought Lin Zhou a meal, along with plenty of wine and dishes, making it quite a lavish affair.
"Senior brother!"
"My name is Chen Erxiong, and I'm here to deliver meals from the kitchen."
"Our chef Yan from kitchen C said that this is my senior's first time here, so this is a welcome dinner for him!"
"Master Yan specially prepared a bowl of black chicken soup; I hope my fellow apprentice will be satisfied!"
"Junior brother, I'll wait outside the door. Senior brother, if you've finished eating, just let me know and I'll come in and take it away."
Chen Erxiong said with a big smile.
Although Chen Erxiong was only at the Ming Jin level, he knew that this young man was likely a member of a powerful family in the city, as he was able to become an outer disciple of the Feng Lei Sword Sect in such an easy position.
If you can build a relationship with them, you won't lose out no matter what. They even gave you a lot of money when they brought you food.
Nowadays, the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect takes in quite a few disciples every year. If one cannot stand out, one will probably have to spend one's entire life among menial disciples.
Chen Erxiong was naturally unwilling.
"Junior Brother Chen, please thank Master Yan for me!"
Lin Zhou politely bowed and thanked him.
They then began to feast.
The dishes prepared by the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect's kitchen were indeed delicious. After Lin Zhou finished drinking the black chicken soup in big gulps...
[Inspiration +0.1]
"Master Yan, wow!"
"A brilliant idea!"
Looking at the prompt that appeared before him, Lin Zhou immediately knew the amount of black chicken soup.
