Longevity Begins with Eating Poisonous Mushrooms
Lin Zhuxuan died the way countless gamers do—alone, exhausted, and staring at a screen.
When he opens his eyes again, he finds himself in the body of a dying slave deep within Xuan Valley Mine, one of the cruelest places in a brutal cultivation world.
Bound by chains, surrounded by poisonous fog, and forced to dig ore until his body breaks, he quickly learns a harsh truth: here, human lives are worth less than the stones beneath his feet. Fail your quota, and you're whipped. Show weakness, and you're prey.
After being beaten half to death over a rare piece of ore, Lin Zhuxuan discovers something even worse than his circumstances.
His body cannot die easily.
No matter how severe the injury, it slowly regenerates. But every wound healed demands a terrible price. Hunger beyond reason. Agony that gnaws at his flesh and soul. What should have been a blessing becomes a curse that drags him deeper into despair.
With death closing in, Lin Zhuxuan swallows a deadly poisonous mushroom in a desperate gamble.
Poison and regeneration collide.
And something finally awakens.
[Ding!]
A mysterious system grants him the abilities of Appraisal and Salvage, allowing him to uncover hidden value in the world's treasures, corpses, and forgotten remnants.
For the first time since arriving in this world, he sees a path forward.
But survival is only the beginning.
The mine is filled with predators. Cultivators possess power beyond imagination. Every secret he carries could bring disaster upon him. To escape his fate, Lin Zhuxuan must grow stronger in the shadows, seize every opportunity, and turn the scraps discarded by others into the foundation of his rise.
In a world where the strong devour the weak, a slave with an undying body and a forbidden system begins his ascent.
