Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

This isn't a no-go, it's a recommendation for the treasure book "Cultivation: I Can Solidify Equipment Attributes":

The Rejuvenation Talisman was something I made myself at the market, and I haven't had a chance to use it in my equipment slots. The Azure Spirit Talisman Brush is an old brush I bought from Talisman Master Lu, and it's also been sitting there for a long time.

There are two empty slots in my equipment inventory now, so I can equip them both at the same time.

Li Yuan first picked up the Rejuvenation Talisman and touched its surface with his fingertips.

With a thought, the equipment was activated.

The Rejuvenation Talisman transformed into a pale white light and entered the body.

The spiritual energy in his dantian didn't increase, but Li Yuan could feel that the underlying rhythm of the spiritual energy's circulation had changed. It was as if there was a subtle pulling force deep within his meridians, constantly drawing the surrounding spiritual energy into his body.

The recovery speed increased by 20%, which is not particularly exaggerated, but its advantage lies in its sustainability.

The condition for permanent status is to maintain a state of abundant spiritual energy for forty-eight hours.

This condition looks simple, but it's actually quite complicated.

A full supply of spiritual energy means that the spiritual energy in the dantian must always be at its maximum, and no amount of consumption is acceptable.

Making talismans consumes spiritual energy, casting spells consumes spiritual energy, and even brief fluctuations in spiritual energy during certain techniques may be judged as insufficient.

For forty-eight hours, he neither made talismans nor cast spells, nor did anything that consumed spiritual energy; he simply cultivated to maintain his full potential.

My daily talisman-making tasks are completely booked up, and I simply can't find a continuous 48-hour break.

tell you later.

Li Yuan turned his attention to the Azure Spirit Talisman Brush.

The dark wood pen barrel feels solid and stable in my hand.

Fingertips touched the pen.

equipment.

The Azure Spirit Brush transformed into a soft white light and entered the body.

Li Yuan raised his right hand, his fingers moved slightly, and a trace of spiritual energy overflowed from his fingertips.

It definitely feels different.

When the spiritual energy flows to the fingertips, there is an extra layer of extremely subtle calibration, as if an invisible hand is secretly adjusting the direction of the spiritual energy, so that every bit of spiritual energy reaches the place it should be more precisely.

This isn't an improvement in your ability to control spiritual energy; rather, it helps you reduce the error by another 20% based on your current level of control.

Li Yuan walked to the table, took out a new talisman brush, spread out the talisman paper, dipped it in spiritual ink, and began to write.

Fireball talisman.

The difference is evident from the very first stroke.

It's not that my technique has improved, but that the margin for error has increased. Before, when drawing the Fire Gathering Pattern, the edges of the spreading spiritual energy would occasionally be slightly uneven, which didn't affect the finished product but was noticeable. Now, with the added advantage of skillful brushstrokes, that slight unevenness is automatically corrected, and the edges of the spiritual pattern are cleaner than before.

The six spiritual patterns were formed in one go, and the talisman's core was brought together.

It became.

Li Yuan put the talisman aside and continued drawing.

Five finished products were produced, and not a single one was wasted.

Moreover, the change in recovery speed is also evident.

Previously, drawing five fireball talismans in a row would consume about 20-30% of the spiritual energy in my dantian. Now, after drawing five, the spiritual energy consumption is still 20%, but some spiritual energy is restored during the intervals between drawing the talismans.

After finishing the five paintings, the spiritual energy in my dantian did not decrease by 20%, but only by 15%.

Li Yuan didn't stop and continued drawing.

By the end of the morning, the finished products on the corner of the table had piled up into a thick stack.

In the afternoon, Li Yuan finished drawing a batch of fireball talismans and heart-locking talismans and handed them over to He Shou. He then spent the rest of his time rotating other talismans.

Cleansing charms, talismans for warding off evil spirits, and warning charms.

He hadn't focused on drawing these three basic talismans for a long time. His previous focus had been on fireball talismans and combat talismans. Although his proficiency in basic talismans was slowly accumulating, he was still far from reaching the next threshold.

It's different now.

The skill of drawing not only increases the success rate, but also slightly increases the proficiency gained when a talisman is successfully drawn. Each completed talisman grants slightly more proficiency than before.

Li Yuan drew the three basic talismans in turn.

With each finished product obtained, the proficiency value on the panel jumps upwards.

That night, when Li Yuan finished drawing the last cleaning talisman, the panel popped up.

[Cleansing Charm: Mastery (0/800)]

The next day, Li Yuan continued to rotate shifts.

[Exorcism Talisman: Proficient (0/800)]

[Warning symbol: Proficiency (0/800)]

He is proficient in all three basic talismans.

With the Cleansing Talisman, Exorcism Talisman, Warning Talisman, and the Fireball Talisman (which I had already mastered), all four types of talismans have reached the Proficiency level. While other talismans like the Rejuvenation Talisman and Vajra Talisman haven't advanced, their progress has also increased significantly.

The overall proficiency in first-order talisman-making also increased significantly.

After finishing making the talisman, Li Yuan took out a piece of hind leg meat from his storage bag, cut off a pound of it, and roasted it using the fire control technique.

The meat is firm and chewy. After swallowing, a warm feeling rises in the abdomen and slowly spreads along the meridians.

The effects of the Flame Marrow Body Nourishment took hold, transforming the remaining demonic power within the beast's flesh into qi and blood, which then seeped into its muscles and bones.

But this time, Li Yuan noticed a change he hadn't paid attention to before.

After the demonic power was transformed into qi and blood by the Flame Marrow Body, it wasn't all absorbed by the body. A small portion of the demonic power didn't become qi and blood during the transformation process; instead, it transformed into something else entirely.

A malevolent aura.

It was an extremely faint wisp, mixed in with the flow of qi and blood, and almost imperceptible.

If it weren't for the "Affinity with Killing Aura" attribute hanging on his body, making his perception of killing aura several times more acute than that of ordinary people, Li Yuan would never have noticed it at all.

He closed his eyes and carefully sensed it for a moment.

When the Flame Marrow Body transforms demonic power into blood and qi, the conversion rate is not 100%. The residual demonic power that cannot be completely converted is either directly expelled by the body or captured by the affinities of malevolent energy and transformed into malevolent energy itself.

The quantity is extremely small. The amount of malevolent energy produced by one pound of demon beast meat is less than one-twentieth of that produced by one Malevolent Essence Pill.

But it does exist.

Li Yuan cut another piece of meat, grilled it, and ate it.

The same process happened again. The demonic power was transformed into blood and qi, and the remainder was transformed into malevolent energy, which flowed into the thin mist of malevolent energy that covered the entire body.

The entry for "Qi Tempering the Body with Malevolent Energy" automatically responds, drawing newly added malevolent energy into the fascia.

Although the quantity was small, he ate demon beast meat every day. In the past, he ate meat only for the nourishing effect of the Flame Marrow Body's Qi and Blood, but now he also had an additional source of malevolent energy.

Little by little, it adds up.

Li Yuan put the remaining monster meat back into his storage bag, sat down cross-legged, and began to circulate the Iron Ox Technique.

The progress of the Iron Ox Kung Fu has been steadily increasing these days.

Two Sha Yuan Pills are taken daily. The Sha Qi affinity reduces the negative effects of Sha Qi, and the Sha Qi tempering transforms Sha Qi into an aid to tempering muscles and bones. The refined medicinal power improves the absorption efficiency of the pills.

With the added malevolent energy from the monster meat, the combined power of the Iron Ox Technique made its advancement more than twice as fast as it had been in the mine.

Qi and blood are drawn from the dantian and infused into the internal organs along the path of the Iron Ox Exercise.

At the same time, the evil energy accumulated in the body seeps into the surrounding organs and exerts pressure from the outside.

Double flushing.

Once, twice, three times.

By the second half of the fourth reading, Li Yuan sensed a change.

The resilience of the internal organs experienced a leap in this process.

It's not a gradual increase; a certain critical point has been breached.

The five internal organs tensed up simultaneously under the dual impact of qi and blood and malevolent energy, and then relaxed almost at the same moment. After relaxing, the texture of the organ walls changed, becoming denser and more elastic.

Like an iron block that has been repeatedly hammered, after countless blows, its internal structure finally changes from loose to dense.

Li Yuan slowly finished his practice.

【Technique: Iron Ox Skill - Minor Success (0/1600)】

Xiao Cheng.

Li Yuan clenched his fist, then relaxed it.

Compared to when he was proficient, the most noticeable change is not in strength, but in his ability to withstand blows.

He raised his hand and tapped his ribs twice. Before, tapping with the same force would cause a dull ache in the bone. Now, the bones didn't budge; the fascia beneath the skin seemed to be wrapped in a soft armor, dispersing the impact.

The physical body is continuously strengthening.

After completing the Iron Ox Technique, Li Yuan closed his eyes and activated the Spirit Guiding Technique.

Spiritual energy surged into the body, and the pure spiritual power eliminated impurities, condensing and sinking into the dantian. The spiritual energy reflux continued to operate in the dark, restoring the spiritual power consumed during the day's talisman-making.

His cultivation level is steadily advancing.
