Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

That morning, Li Yuan was drawing a fireball talisman.

The fourteenth image.

With the first stroke, six spiritual patterns unfolded. As the fire-gathering patterns reached the middle, the wrist rotation and the increase in spiritual power were perfectly synchronized. The spiritual patterns on the talisman paper became tighter and tighter with each circle, and the edges were so clean that they looked as if they had been cut with a knife.

The spiritual energy settled at the core of the talisman, and a layer of crimson luster rose from the inside out, making it deeper and more concentrated than the previous finished product.

The panel popped up.

Fireball Talisman: Minor Success (0/1600)

Li Yuan placed the fireball talisman on the corner of the table, stacking it together with the other finished products.

Xiao Cheng.

He picked up the talisman brush, dipped it in spirit ink, spread out the next sheet of talisman paper, and continued drawing.

The difference becomes apparent as soon as you put pen to paper.

The wrist no longer makes any adjustments; the transmission chain of spiritual energy from the fingertips to the pen tip to the paper becomes a completely fixed path. The force, angle, and density of spiritual energy in each stroke are solidified into muscle memory, requiring no conscious thought.

The drawn runes are more even, the edges are neater, and the core of the rune is more tightly bound than when the skill was mastered.

I drew eighteen fireball talismans in one morning, and wasted two of them.

The success rate has reached 90%.

It's not just about increased success rates. After achieving a minor level of mastery, the time required to draw each talisman is also shortened, spiritual energy consumption is more precise with less waste, and the same amount of spiritual energy can be used to draw several more talismans. In addition, with the continuous recovery of spiritual energy, the output has increased significantly.

In the evening, Li Yuan moved the finished product to the wooden shed in the yard.

He Shou was distributing the supplies brought back by the afternoon patrol when he saw Li Yuan carrying a talisman that was much thicker than usual, and his movements paused for a moment.

He took it, flipped through it, and counted it.

"Thirty sheets?"

"Um."

He Shou didn't say anything more and put the talisman into the wooden box.

For the next few days, Li Yuan's output remained at this level.

More than thirty fireball talismans, seven or eight heart-locking talismans, five or six energy-gathering talismans, interspersed with rejuvenating talismans and Vajra talismans every day.

The guard team's talisman inventory went from barely breaking even to slowly increasing.

He Shou began to transfer the extra talismans to the rear, sending some back to the Talisman Hall to complete the task and settle the contribution, and storing the rest in the warehouse of the Market Management Office as a strategic reserve.

The number of completed talisman-making tasks is also accumulating rapidly. The contributions previously overdrawn are being paid off little by little, and at this rate, it will be cleared in another half month.

Aside from making talismans, Li Yuan never stopped his daily body-refining cultivation.

Two to three Sha Yuan Pills are taken daily. After the affinity with Sha Qi is permanently established, the negative effects of Sha Qi are almost negligible. The medicinal refinement process ensures efficient absorption of the pill's effective components. Monster meat is consumed daily, and residual demonic power is converted into Sha Qi to replenish the body. The Soul Refining Talisman's Soul Tempering and the Soul Illumination Mirror's Soul Light Tempering are simultaneously activated, continuously strengthening the soul.

The Iron Ox Exercise is performed three to five times a day, which cleanses the internal organs with both vital energy and malevolent energy.

After achieving initial success, the accumulation of knowledge and experience has been steadily progressing.

In the latter half of the night, Li Yuan sat cross-legged in the stone house, practicing the Iron Ox Technique.

Qi and blood are drawn from the dantian and channeled into the internal organs along the path of the Iron Ox Technique. Simultaneously, malevolent energy seeps into the area surrounding the internal organs, exerting external pressure.

When I finished the fourth time, the feedback from my internal organs changed.

In the past, when Qi and blood rushed through the internal organs, the walls of the organs would passively withstand the impact, like a dam holding back water. As the flow increased, the dam would become thicker and stronger, but it would still be passive.

This time is different.

When the Qi and blood rush to the walls of the internal organs, the organs do not block them, but actively absorb them.

Just like dried soil meeting water, it is not washed away, but absorbed.

After the Qi and blood are injected into the walls of the internal organs, they permeate along the internal texture of the organs, seeping from the outer wall all the way to the inner wall.

The entire internal organs were permeated with qi and blood.

After the infiltration is complete, the texture of the visceral wall changes again. In the early stages, it changed from loose to dense; now it has changed from dense to flexible.

It's not that it's become soft, it's that it's become tough.

Li Yuan finished his practice and tapped his ribs twice with his fist.

The bones remained completely still. But this was different from the kind of brute force he had when he was in his early stages. The impact was not blocked, but rather partially absorbed by the walls of the internal organs, with the remainder reaching the skeleton.

It's like having an extra buffer between the ribs and internal organs.

【Technique: Iron Ox Technique - Mastery (0/3200)】

Great success.

Li Yuan stretched his shoulders and twisted his waist.

The range of motion in my torso is greater than when I was in my early stages of development. This isn't because my joints have become more flexible, but because my internal organs are no longer the bottleneck restricting my torso's movement. Before, when I twisted my body violently, I would occasionally feel a slight pulling sensation in my internal organs, but now that's completely gone.

The strength of the physical body has reached a new level.

The results of my physical training these past few days are not limited to the Iron Ox Technique.

The combination of several factors—tempering the body with malevolent energy, the malevolent essence pill, malevolent energy transformed from demonic beast flesh, continuous nourishment from self-generated blood and qi, and the protective iron membrane—creates a cumulative effect far greater than any single factor alone.

The total amount of Qi and blood has also increased significantly.

Li Yuan closed his eyes and sensed the total amount and density of Qi and blood within his body.

It's much thicker than it was half a month ago. In particular, the density of Qi and blood is much heavier than before, thanks to the mastery of the Iron Ox Technique and the combination of various body-refining techniques.

He rummaged through the depths of his storage bag and pulled out the bottle of Qi and Blood Pills.

There was only one dark red pill left in the bottle, which was specifically saved for equipment.

With a thought, he removed the Returning Origin Talisman.

The Rejuvenation Talisman emerged from within his body and landed back in his palm. The talisman, still bearing its spiritual runes, was stored in his storage bag.

Li Yuan poured the last Qi and Blood Pill from the bottle into his palm.

The dark red pill felt slightly warm in my palm.

equipment.

A second notification then popped up on the panel.

The conditions for permanent "abundant Qi and Blood (white)" have been met.

Is it permanent?

Yes.

[Permanentization successful]

[Abundant Qi and Blood (White) has become a permanent entry]

[Equipment consumed]

The dark red pill in his palm transformed into a deep red light and disappeared into his body.

The changes came suddenly and quickly.

A surge of scalding heat erupted from the sea of ​​qi and blood beside the dantian, flowing along the meridians to the limbs. It was not ordinary warmth, but a thick, scalding torrent of qi and blood, like magma, filling every inch of the body from the torso to the arms to the legs.

The capacity of the Qi and Blood Sea suddenly increased by 30%.

The Qi and blood, which were already close to saturation, seemed to have shrunk after the volume expanded. But then, the permanent Qi and blood self-generation system automatically accelerated its operation, and new Qi and blood were continuously generated from the depths of the body, surging towards the expanded sea of ​​Qi and blood.

The muscles in his forearm bulged slightly, and a fine blush appeared on the surface of his skin.

Li Yuan clenched his fist.

The force was significantly greater than before. Not just a tiny bit more, but a noticeable increase. The strength of the knuckles when the fist was clenched, the range of forearm muscle contraction, and the stability of the wrist had all improved.

The effect of Qi and blood on the body increases by 10%.

With the same total amount of Qi and Blood, the resulting strength, speed, and recovery ability are 10% higher than before permanent enhancement. Furthermore, since the maximum Qi and Blood limit increases by 30% and the total amount also increases, the actual improvement in physical attributes is far more than 10%.

Li Yuan stood up and paced back and forth in the stone house a few times.

My steps are lighter than before, almost making a sound when I land. It's not that I'm deliberately trying to be lighter; it's just that my body naturally makes the most efficient movements. With more energy and blood flowing through my body, my muscles and bones coordinate better, each step consumes less energy, and my movements are cleaner.

It was still dark outside the window.

Li Yuan returned to the table and sat down, taking out a piece of demon beast meat from his storage bag and roasting it to eat. A warm current spread out, nourishing his bones and muscles with his blood and energy, and the remaining demonic power was transformed into baleful energy.

After eating, sit cross-legged and practice qigong.

The spiritual energy surged into the body, and the pure spiritual power removed impurities, condensing and sinking into the dantian.
