Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

On the third night in the talisman hall, Li Yuan sat cross-legged in the low house, his body's evil energy slowly flowing along his meridians.

He consumed four Sha Yuan Pills, and the Sha Qi Tempering Body technique drew the Sha Qi into his fascia. Meanwhile, the permanent detoxification talisman continued to work. Sha Qi itself is a form of contamination; as long as Sha Qi circulates within the body, the process will not stop.

These past few days, I've been in the talisman hall, making talismans during the day and taking evil pills to cultivate at night. The detoxification talismans are almost always hanging there.

The panel appeared.

The conditions for permanent slow-release detoxification (white) have been met.

Is it permanent?

Li Yuan had a sudden thought.

Yes.

[Permanentization successful]

[Slow-release detoxifier (white) has become a permanent entry]

[Equipment consumed]

The detoxification talisman transformed into a pale blue light between his fingers and entered his body.

The changes are very subtle.

The remaining residue of the Fiend Yuan Pill in the body is being expelled onto the skin membrane at an extremely slow rate.

It's not like drug refining that accelerates absorption the moment you take the medicine, but rather a continuous cleansing process.

Any toxins, drug residues, or negative energy remaining in the body will be gradually eliminated.

There is an empty slot in the equipment inventory.

Without hesitation, Li Yuan took out the booklet of the Condensation Technique from the depths of his storage bag and equipped it.

[Equipment Successfully]

[Acquired entry: Spiritual Energy Condensation (Green)]

The moment the spiritual energy condensed and returned, the density of spiritual energy in the dantian suddenly increased.

Li Yuan closed his eyes and began to circulate the Spirit Guiding Technique.

The purification of spiritual energy and the refinement of spiritual energy work simultaneously. After entering the body, the spiritual energy is first filtered and purified, and then compressed and sunk into the dantian by the Condensation Technique. With this double blessing, the quality of spiritual energy accumulated in each cycle is significantly higher than before.

His cultivation level is very close to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

After practicing for two consecutive days, on the morning of the third day, there was a knock on the door of the stone house.

Li Yuan got up and opened the door.

The assistant to the head of the talisman hall stood at the door, holding a document and a roll of animal hide.

"Li Yuan, we have a mission."

The assistant handed over the documents.

"You have been assigned to Qinghe Market and placed in the guard team. Your main responsibility is to provide the guard team with talismans, and you will also have a large number of talisman-making tasks to complete at the base. You will also need to participate in combat when necessary."

Li Yuan took the document and glanced at it.

The task details are written very clearly.

The guard team is currently severely lacking in combat and healing talismans, and needs a talisman master who can make talismans on the spot to stay with the team to ensure the supply of talismans.

The assistant then handed over the rolled-up animal hide.

"This is an extra Heart-Locking Talisman recipe given to you by the Talisman Hall."

Li Yuan took the animal hide and unfolded it.

Heart-Locking Talisman. A low-grade, first-tier talisman. When used, it temporarily suppresses the user's injuries, sealing existing wounds in their current state and preventing them from worsening. The duration is approximately one hour.

It's not about healing, it's about stopping the bleeding. Applying it after an injury won't cause the wound to worsen or internal injuries to spread further, but it also won't improve the condition. It's like buying the injured person some buffer time.

The assistant added a sentence.

"The guard team specifically requested this. People often get injured during patrols and battles, and there's no time to treat them when they're out fighting, but with the Heart-Locking Talisman, they can at least hold out until they're back at the rear before being treated."

Li Yuan rolled up the animal hide and put it away.

"When are you leaving?"

"I'm leaving today."

Li Yuan went back to his room to pack his things. He stuffed all the materials for making talismans, pills, evil stones, and copies of cultivation techniques into his storage bag.

After leaving the talisman hall, walk along the stone-paved road towards Qinghefang Market.

After walking for most of the day, the outline of the walls of Qinghefang Market came into view.

The market had changed somewhat since he left. A ring of newly erected makeshift sheds had appeared outside the walls, with various supplies piled up underneath. There were many more people entering and leaving the market than before, including cultivators dressed in royal robes, as well as independent cultivators, and several mortals pushing carts to carry herbs inside.

Li Yuan entered the market through the west gate.

The stalls on both sides of East Street were still bustling, and the shops belonging to the Yuanyang Sect were still there, with shop assistants in pale yellow robes standing at the door.

As I walked along East Street toward North Alley, two people came towards me.

He was dressed in patrol uniform, with a patrol officer's badge hanging from his waist.

Zhao Hu and Zheng Xiaoman.

Zhao Hu first saw Li Yuan, paused in his steps, and then grinned.

"Deputy Captain Li?"

Zheng Xiaoman also raised her head and blinked twice.

"Why are you back?"

Li Yuan nodded to the two of them.

"Come back to work."

Zhao Hu looked him up and down, his gaze finally settling on the new waist tag with the talisman engraved on it.

"You've entered the Talisman Hall?"

"Um."

Zhao Hu and Zheng Xiaoman exchanged a glance, and Zhao Hu chuckled.

"Wow, that's impressive. We're still running errands for the patrol team, and you've already switched departments."

Li Yuan didn't talk much about this topic.

"How's the patrol team doing now?"

"Same as always," Zhao Hu waved his hand. "A few people have changed, and there are a few more missions than before, but nothing major has happened. You knew Sun Liang was transferred to the mine, right?"

"I know, I was with him before."

Zhao Hu nodded, exchanged a few more casual words, and then the two went their separate ways.

Li Yuan continued walking along the road towards the guard team's camp.

The monks guarding the entrance checked Li Yuan's documents and identification badge and let him in.

There were about ten people walking around in the courtyard, most of them wearing the standard uniform of the guards, and their auras ranged from the third to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Li Yuan glanced around and spotted two familiar figures under a wooden shed on the east side.

He Shou squatted next to a wooden box, rummaging through something, while Fang He leaned against a shed pillar, munching on dried meat.

He Shouxian looked up, saw Li Yuan walking over, and stood up.

"You've arrived?"

"It was sent by Fu Tang." Li Yuan handed over the document.

He Shou took it and glanced at it, his eyebrows twitching slightly.

He returned the documents and pointed to the stone house opposite He Shouchao's courtyard.

"Your spot is over there; the table and tools are all set. Just hand the talismans to me once they're made; I'll be in charge of the distribution for now."

"It's all thanks to you that I wouldn't have had the chance to be replaced by a stranger."

After finishing the jerky in his mouth, Fang He nodded to Li Yuan.

"We're severely lacking in talismans. Especially fireball talismans and healing talismans; a patrol team uses up most of them after just one trip, and we can't replenish them when we come back."

He Shou added a sentence.

"Now the guard team sends out two to three squads to patrol every day, covering a much wider area than before. Although there are fewer monsters around the market, the Li family has been very active lately, and we occasionally run into them during patrols."

He glanced towards the courtyard gate.

"Last month, two teams encountered the Li family outside and fought a battle. Three of our teams were injured, while the other side escaped. One of the injured had two broken ribs. If we had had a Heart-Locking Talisman to suppress the injuries at the time, at least they wouldn't have worsened on the retreat."

Li Yuan nodded.

"You've given me the recipe for the Heart-Locking Talisman; I'll make a batch later."

He Shou's expression relaxed a little.

Fang He straightened up from the shed pillar and took two steps closer to Li Yuan.

"There's something else."

He lowered his voice.

"You're now a member of the Talisman Hall, not directly under the guard team, but you'll be working here, and your meals and lodging will be at the base. The talismans produced will be prioritized for the guard team; you can handle the rest yourself."

He paused.

"But to be honest, the guard team is consuming a lot of talismans right now, and your output alone probably won't be enough. Make as many as you can, and if you really don't have enough, prioritize fireball talismans and heart-locking talismans."

Li Yuan hummed in agreement.

"Are there enough materials?"

"The materials are being sourced from the Talisman Hall, and they're being replenished every two weeks," He Shou continued. "The first batch of materials has already arrived and is in your room."

Li Yuan walked towards the stone house that He Shou pointed to.

Pushing open the door, the room was much more spacious than the low huts in the mine. Against the wall was a large stone table, with enough surface to spread out five or six talisman papers. At the corner of the table were several bundles of blue-patterned paper and several bottles of spirit ink, along with auxiliary materials such as cinnabar and mineral powder.

The bed was on the other side, simple but clean.

Li Yuan tidied up the items in the storage bag and sat down at the table.

The method for making the Heart-Locking Talisman was laid out on the table in animal hide, with the arrangement of spirit patterns and the key points of making it clearly visible.

The Heart-Locking Talisman uses a combination of sealing and solidification patterns. The spiritual energy flows from the outside in, tightening layer by layer, temporarily freezing the flow of blood and spiritual energy in a specific area.

It's somewhat similar to the Vajra Talisman, both using the method of absorption, but the Vajra Talisman absorbs defense, while the Heart-Locking Talisman absorbs injuries.

Li Yuan read the entire recipe from beginning to end and memorized it.

Then spread out the talisman paper, dip it in ink, and begin to draw the fireball talisman.

Provide the most urgently needed supplies first.

One, two, three. Proficient techniques result in consistent output, with a success rate exceeding 70%.

After drawing about ten fireball talismans, Li Yuan switched to drawing a few rejuvenating talismans, and then switched to the Vajra talisman.

Before nightfall, a thick stack of finished products had already piled up on the corner of the table.

Li Yuan sorted the finished products by type and placed them on the table. He would hand them over to He Shou first thing tomorrow morning.

Then he took out two Sha Yuan Pills from his storage bag, swallowed them, and sat cross-legged to circulate his internal energy.

The sound of footsteps changing shifts among the night guards could be heard outside the window, interspersed with occasional hushed conversations.

In the distance, from the direction of the market, there was a faint glow of spirit lamps, much like the one I remembered.
