My Augmented Statuses Have Unlimited Duration

This black light was none other than the ghost that Jiang Li had captured.

At the late-stage Qi Refinement realm, Jiang Li could already use the Ghost Wood Art to summon a few ghosts to serve him.

The green line was the Ghost Wood Art\'s binding on the ghost, preventing it from escaping even if it left Jiang Li\'s consciousness. It could only obediently work for him.

This ghost had a certain ability to read minds. Although it was not strong, it could still be used.

Jiang Li sent it into the brain of the disciple in front of him to see if he could read any useful memories.

After pulling the ghost back into his Sea of Consciousness, some fragmented memories were quickly transmitted.

There were not many memory fragments captured by the ghost, and it was far from reaching the level of the skill, Mayfly\'s Dream.

This ghost\'s ability was quite similar to telephone scams. It could only make up stories and bluff people.

Circulating the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra that could even take over a person\'s life, Jiang Li quickly went through the memory fragments of the disciple in front of him.

All the meaningless content was abandoned, leaving only some content that Jiang Li was interested in.

"Green-Robed Immortal… What a nice name, but is there such a forbidden drug in the cultivation world?"

Jiang Li held the two small porcelain bottles in his hand and recalled the few memory fragments stolen by the ghost.

When taking this drug, one would feel as if they were floating in the air. After stopping, they would feel muddle-headed.

This was an extremely addictive and vicious forbidden drug.

It was fine for cultivators above the Foundation Establishment realm. Their powerful bodies could help them resist the addiction and dependence on the drug. As long as their wills were a little stronger, they could at most get rid of their headache for a week.

However, for Qi Refinement realm disciples, touching this thing could cause them to be trapped forever. That kind of reliance on drugs that could make people\'s minds go crazy was not easily overcome.

After Jiang Li finished reading the memory fragment, he looked at a thin and tall figure lying on the ground.

After thinking for a moment, he did not choose to slap him to death. Instead, he waved his hand and used his spiritual qi to open the disciple\'s mouth. He took out seven or eight waste pills from his bosom and stuffed them in.

This disciple\'s body twitched and trembled while unconscious, and his originally pale face became even darker and darker. His body already began to emit a disgusting aura, as if he was beyond cure and was about to die at any moment.

This was the leader of the group that was snorting the spore powder called \'Green-Robed Immortal\'.

This thin and tall man had met a few rogue cultivators in a market when he was out on a mission. Then, he got addicted to \'Green-Robed Immortal\'.

How many spirit stones could an outer sect disciple have?

After he became addicted, it was just like what Jiang Li had heard in his previous life. He exhausted his spirit stones and was at his wit\'s end. In the end, he started to drag people down and used them to get more drugs.

The other seven people lying on the ground had been tricked by him through some methods before they were finally tainted by this \'Green-Robed Immortal\'.

People like him deserved to die.

After consuming these few waste pills, the amount of this pill poison was enough to cause irreversible damage to this guy\'s cultivation and spiritual root. Moreover, the pill poison would be stubborn for at least a hundred years.

He would never be able to make a comeback in this life until he died painfully under the torture of the pill poisoning.

After taking away all the "green spore powder" on them, Jiang Li ignored them and continued to walk towards the center of the graveyard.

However, today, this godforsaken place seemed especially lively.

From afar, Jiang Li saw a tall figure standing in front of him. No one knew what he was doing.

Could it be that one of the brothers in the graveyard had turned into a zombie?

Jiang Li quickly rejected this thought, because the other party\'s clothes were neat and tidy. Clearly, he was not a dirty zombie.

However, he did not have any fear and directly walked over. This was his target location after all. He could not just retreat when he saw someone he did not know.

The more he walked in, the more familiar Jiang Li felt.

Wasn\'t the place where the figure stood where Jiang Li had cultivated the Ghost Wood Art back then?

This figure was indeed not a zombie. From the back, it looked to be a middle-aged man of medium build.

The edges of his Daoist robe were faded and had turned white.

Jiang Li had never seen a cultivator dressed like this, but from the oppressive feeling coming from his body, Jiang Li was certain that he was at least a Core Formation cultivator.

Since the other party could enter the sect easily, he was most likely an elder of the Scripture Storage Valley.

"This disciple has passed by this place and disturbed you. Elder, I seek forgiveness."

Jiang Li cupped his hands and took a few steps forward. He finally saw the other party\'s face from the side.

His facial features looked ordinary and even a little old. He did not look like a very powerful person. Only his sharp and straight eyebrows were facing the sky, making him look very heroic.

"Yes, this graveyard is not a good place. Don\'t stay here any longer. Leave."

The elder glanced at Jiang Li and reminded him to leave quickly.

Jiang Li did not mind the other party\'s reminder. To other disciples, this graveyard might not be beneficial to their bodies because of the Yin qi, but to Jiang Li, it was simply like he had returned home.

"Elder, what are you looking at?"

Following the other party\'s gaze, the outer sect graveyard was corroded by the Yin qi to the point that not a single blade of grass grew. 15 tree saplings had grown out at some point in time.

In Jiang Li\'s eyes, these sprouts were even more familiar. Every day, he cultivated Qi Refinement and visualized the same thing.

"These are… ghostwood trees."

"Elder, is there something wrong with these ghostwood trees?"

Jiang Li immediately felt a little embarrassed. He knew what this elder was looking at. At this moment, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

It was just like when he was young and hid his paper after he scored a zero.

The elder glanced at Jiang Li once more. Perhaps it was because of the inner sect disciple uniform he wore, but he opened his mouth and explained to Jiang Li.

"The Yin qi in this outer sect graveyard is very heavy. I wonder who planted 15 ghostwood trees here and set up a Feng Shui Wood-Yin Array."

"Recently, there have been frequent zombie transformations and ghosts causing trouble in this graveyard, disturbing the outer sect. I wonder who did this and what their intentions are."

This elder spoke with a slight accent as he looked at the ghostwood tree array in front of him with a serious expression.

In the sect, Elder Lin was originally in seclusion all year round to cultivate. However, recently, there were frequent accidents in the outer sect graveyard and many disciples had been injured.

It was naturally not difficult for sect elders and inner sect disciples to deal with these new ghosts.

However, it was as if the graveyard had been on stimulants recently, producing ghosts frequently.

The others did not find the reason and could not really let Foundation Establishment cultivators camp all year round for a graveyard. Therefore, they invited Elder Lin, a professional, to help solve the problem of the graveyard.

This Elder Lin was really capable. He was the one who designed and improved the layout of the outer sect graveyard. The rule of stuffing copper coins into the mouths of the dead to suppress the zombie transformation was also his suggestion to the sect.

As an expert, he quickly found the problem. These ghostwood trees that had been planted were the culprits.

However, he was still a little puzzled. Although these 15 sprouts had set up a Feng Shui Wood-Yin Array, based on his experience, they should still be far from reaching the extent of gathering such dense Yin qi.

To reach this state, one would need at least 15 ghostwood trees over fifty years old.

"Could there be another secret in this graveyard?"

When Jiang Li heard this, he could not help but break out in a cold sweat. If he did not guess wrong, this matter was probably related to him.

"Cough cough, Elder, this disciple might be able to answer you."

Jiang Li scolded himself for having a bad memory. He thought for a moment and summoned up his courage to speak to the other party awkwardly.

With a wave of his hand, he sent out Wood-Yin spiritual qi.

Under his spiritual qi, cracking sounds of roots breaking could be heard from the ground.

Jiang Li was stunned, and then he increased the output of his spiritual qi.

Then, the soil beneath the 15 ghostwood trees suddenly flipped up. One after another, a total of 15 thick ghostwood trees were pulled out from the ground.

However, the ghostwood tree wooden stakes were already very different from when Jiang Li had buried them in the ground.

Many thin roots grew out of the tree bark, and the 15 ghostwood tree saplings grew from these tree trunks.

These ghostwood tree wooden stakes that had no roots were actually revived under the nourishment of the Yin qi in the graveyard.

"Wood-Yin spiritual qi… did you bury these ghostwood trees?"

When Elder Lin saw this scene, how could he not know the problem? It turned out that the secret was buried under the ground.

"Elder, these ghostwood trees were buried for my cultivation training previously. It\'s just that after I entered the inner sect, I was busy cultivating and accidentally… forgot about them."

Elder Lin was speechless after hearing Jiang Li\'s explanation. He had wasted his time thinking there was an enemy attack.

There was no such thing as a hidden plot. It was just a disciple who had forgotten to clean up the mess after cultivating, resulting in this mess.

If Jiang Li was still an outer sect disciple at this moment, this matter would be a huge issue. Any punishment from the sect would be able to make him suffer from the consequences.

Fortunately, he was now the disciple of the Head Elder of the Demon Vanquishing Hall, Elder He. Thus, this matter would only be a misunderstanding that was not worth mentioning.

"These Yin attribute ghostwood trees are very dangerous if left in the graveyard. Don\'t be so reckless in the future. You can deal with them yourself."

Sure enough, this elder did not say much, and he only gave Jiang Li a few words of advice.

"This disciple knows his mistake. Thank you, Elder."

Jiang Li released the Dragon Imprisoning Lock on his body and coiled it around the 15 ghostwood trees that had been reborn, binding them together.

After the 15 ghostwood trees were tied together, they were almost the size of a small mountain. In his previous life, large trucks were needed to transport them.

However, the Dragon Imprisoning Lock glowed slightly. Under Jiang Li\'s immense strength, it pulled back the ghostwood trees and carried them on his shoulder.

The soil beneath his feet caved in, but Jiang Li acted exceptionally calm and collected. It was as if this bit of weight was nothing at all.

"Are you a body cultivator?"

Elder Lin looked at Jiang Li\'s actions and his expression could not help but change slightly. It was rare for a body cultivator in the Body Refinement realm to have such strength.

After Jiang Li gave an affirmative answer, he could not help but reveal a slightly regretful expression. However, it was not pity for Jiang Li, but for himself.

Elder Lin had been living with corpses all year round and knew nothing about female cultivators. Therefore, he had no clue about matters like Dao Companions and children.

Furthermore, in recent years, although he had been cultivating bitterly in seclusion, he had no hope of breaking through in his cultivation. Therefore, he gradually had the thought of taking in a disciple to pass on all that he had learned.

After he came out of seclusion, the Valley Master had told him that there was a disciple with a dual-attribute Wood-Yin spiritual root who was very suitable for him. It was just that he had unfortunately missed out on it because he was in seclusion and had already lost to the Head of the Demon Vanquishing Hall.

How could he not guess Jiang Li\'s identity at this point?

"I saw that your spiritual qi is the dual-attribute Wood-Yin. What cultivation method did you learn? What is your current realm?"

Although it was already impossible to take him in as a disciple, Elder Lin still asked Jiang Li out of concern. After all, there were very few cultivators with a Wood-Yin spiritual root. It was rare to meet one and it could be considered fate. He had to give Jiang Li some pointers.

"I cultivate the Ghost Wood Art and am currently only at the late-stage Qi Refinement realm."

Jiang Li answered truthfully. His voice was calm and the heavy burden on his shoulders did not affect him much.

"Ghost Wood Art? It\'s quite a good cultivation method."

"Then the one you released was your ghost servant?"

How could Jiang Li not know that the elder had witnessed the scene at the edge of the graveyard with unknown methods earlier?

"Don\'t worry, they deserved to die. I won\'t blame you for this."

When he saw Jiang Li\'s expression change, the elder hurriedly consoled Jiang Li and told him not to worry because of this.

Jiang Li was naturally not worried, but the other party seemed to understand his cultivation method very well. This made him feel a little puzzled.

"Elder, forgive me for being presumptuous. May I know your name?"

"My name is Lin Fengying. You can call me Elder Lin."

At this moment, Jiang Li understood that this was the inheritor of the corpse manipulation clan who had once been most suitable to be his master, Elder Lin.

As they both had a Wood-Yin attribute spiritual root, it was natural for the other party to study the other two Wood-Yin attribute cultivation methods in the valley.

Jiang Li hurriedly put down the ghostwood trees and bowed once more before calling out, "Elder Lin, I have something to ask."

Jiang Li\'s master was only good at body refinement. It was really difficult for him to be of help in Qi Refinement cultivation.

Now that he met Elder Lin, how could he let this chance slip by? He asked all the difficult questions he encountered regarding cultivation methods and techniques.

Elder Lin Fengying was indeed skilled in this aspect. A few words of advice could enlighten Jiang Li greatly.

Moreover, as they conversed, Jiang Li noticed that the other party was actually an array formation master.

Elder Lin also praised the Wood-Yin Feng Shui Array that Jiang Li set up back then. He said that Jiang Li was absolutely talented in array formations.

Back then, relying on the superficial teachings of the Outer Sect Cultivation Hall, he could use 15 ghostwood trees to set up that kind of Feng Shui Array. His talent was definitely not ordinary.

At this moment, he truly got what he needed the most.

Jiang Li had been learning how to draw runes for several months already. His foundation was quite good, but he had been suffering from the fact that no one was teaching him the secrets of array formations, so he had been stagnating and not making any progress.

This time, he happened to bump into Elder Lin and quickly grabbed the opportunity to get close to the other party, obtaining the promise of imparting array formation knowledge to him.
