Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Over the next few days, Li Yuan took one Iron Wall Pill every day, in conjunction with his Iron Wall Body Refining Technique.

After taking the second Iron Wall Pill, Li Yuan began to circulate the Iron Wall Body Refining Technique.

The medicinal power seeped outward from deep within the bones, and a burning sensation spread along the spine to the limbs. Spiritual energy flowed into the deep layers of the muscles along the path of the Iron Wall Body Refining Technique. The absorption channels opened by the Iron Wall Pill had not yet closed, and the spiritual energy rushed straight in, seeping from the surface of the muscle fibers all the way to the vicinity of the periosteum.

After completing the five repetitions, Li Yuan slowly finished his practice.

【Technique: Iron Wall Body Refining Technique - Proficient (0/400)】

I've gotten used to it.

Li Yuan clenched his fist. The muscles in his forearm were clearly defined when he contracted, and the skin beneath felt firmer. It wasn't a surface hardness, but a hardness that came from within the muscles stretching outwards.

The remaining two pills were to be used within four days, and the effects of each pill were amplified by the bone marrow tempering and the nourishment of spiritual liquid. The proficiency of the Iron Wall Body Refining Technique continued to rise.

While Li Yuan was practicing the Iron Wall Body Refining Technique, his focus remained on the Spirit Guiding Technique.

The meridian nodes on the eighth level have all been traversed smoothly, and no manual guidance is needed when spiritual energy flows through them. Progress on the ninth level is slower than on the eighth level, but by traversing it two or three times a day, the nodes are gradually becoming familiar one by one.

In the latter half of the night, Li Yuan sat cross-legged in the main room, circulating the Spirit Guiding Technique.

As time passed, spiritual energy flowed out from the last node of the ninth level, returning to the dantian along the meridians. The entire route of the Spirit Guiding Technique, from the starting point of the first level to the end point of the ninth level, saw the spiritual energy travel the entire distance without any pause.

【Technique: Spirit Guiding Technique - Perfected (3200/3200)】

It was perfected again.

The methods are the same, and the meridian nodes are connected. The foundation of the first to seventh levels is already at a perfect level of fluency. Although the eighth and ninth levels are new routes, the meridians have already been opened by the Micro-Element Guiding Meridian Technique. What needs to be honed is only the proficiency of the cultivation method itself.

The cultivation efficiency was significantly higher than when it was only at the seventh level. The coverage of spiritual energy circulating through the meridians in a full cycle was wider, and the density of spiritual energy sinking into the dantian was higher.

For the next few days, life on the outskirts continued as usual.

During the day, they made and sold talismans; at night, they cultivated. Fang Laosan helped greet customers every day, and fireball talismans and concealment talismans remained the best-selling items. Li Yuan spent two or three hours each day drawing and selling talismans, devoting the rest of his time to cultivation.

His cultivation level is getting closer and closer to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

That morning, there was a knock on the gate.

Wang Lu.

He stood at the door, holding a document in his hand.

"The mission has changed."

The two entered the main room.

Wang Lu placed the document on the table.

"The cleanup of the Fog Raven Gang is basically over. The prisoners have been interrogated, and the leads have been traced to the end."

"But that's not our main objective. We only have one clue about the leader of the cultivators who robbed the herb garden."

Wang Lu put his hands into his sleeves.

"According to the prisoners, they had contact with the leader of the Jiexiu sect. That man took the medicinal herbs he stole from the herb garden to the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm."

The Spirit Ruins Secret Realm. The secret realm ruins that the Yuan Yang Sect opened its entrance to, which the vendor mentioned earlier.

"What are we going to the secret realm for?"

"Uncertain. It could be that they're looking for the Spirit Essence Fruit, it could be that they're lying low, or it could be both."

Wang Lu's tone was calm. "The situation inside the secret realm is complex. Once inside, your location is unpredictable, and having too many people will only lead to being picked off one by one."

He looked at Li Yuan.

"For now, let Qu Bo pursue it alone."

"Your investigation here is now complete. You can return to the market town and depart in a few days."

Li Yuan nodded and put the document away.

Wang Lu didn't linger; he left after giving his instructions.

The next day, Li Yuan left the outer perimeter and entered Yunyangfang Market.

He planned to sell off all the talismans he had before setting off back home.

First, go and acquire the shops.

He took out almost all the talismans he had collected in his storage bag: Fireball Talisman, Heart-Locking Talisman, Qi-Gathering Talisman, Rejuvenation Talisman, Vajra Talisman, Golden Blade Talisman, Blood-Replenishing Talisman, Detection Talisman, Cleansing Talisman, Evil-Repelling Talisman, and Breath-Concealing Talisman. He kept only a few Heart-Locking Talismans and Fireball Talismans for self-defense, and used the rest.

After the shopkeeper finished checking each item, he started clicking away on the abacus.

"A total of one hundred and twenty-three spirit stones."

Li Yuan counted them once and put them into his storage bag.

After leaving the acquired shop, walk south along the main street.

The main street was bustling with people, much like the previous few days.

When Li Yuan reached the southern part of the middle section of the main street, he slowed down.

At a roadside stall, various odds and ends were laid out: a few pieces of ore, two bottles of medicine, a worn-out pair of iron shears, and a few crudely made accessories for magical implements.

On the far right of the stall, there was an alchemy furnace.

It was neither too big nor too small, about a foot tall, with a gray-black body, an iron furnace body, and three legs.

There are several signs of wear and black soot on the furnace wall, indicating that it has been used for many years.

The wooden sign next to it reads: Old Iron Alchemy Furnace, Grade 1, Low Rank, Twenty-Five Spirit Stones.

Li Yuan originally had no intention of stopping.

An old alchemy furnace was of little use to him. He didn't know how to refine pills, nor did he have any real need for it.

But as I passed by, I instinctively touched the stall with my finger.

The moment my fingertip touched the wall of the oven, the control panel popped up.

[Equipable item detected]

The latest chapter of "《" has been updated. Come and follow the updates on Cola Novels!

[Item Attribute Level: Green]

green.

Li Yuan stopped in his tracks.

His fingers lingered on the furnace wall for a moment longer.

Twenty-five spirit stones, green entry.

The alchemy furnace wasn't actually of much direct use to him. But the green entries were different.

He mentally reviewed his experience with permanent entries.

The reason why homemade talismans can become permanent is because the production process itself satisfies certain conditions of the system.

The pills you refine might also trigger the panel.

And it only costs twenty-five spirit stones.

Li Yuan turned the alchemy furnace over and examined its bottom. Several very faint spiritual patterns were engraved at the base of the three legs, now worn and blurred. A thick layer of medicinal stains remained on the inside of the furnace wall, left from years of alchemy refining.

"How much is this?" Li Yuan asked the stall owner, waving the alchemy furnace in his hand.

The stall owner was a thin, rogue cultivator in his fifties, who was dozing off with his head tilted to the side. Hearing the sound, he opened his eyes and glanced at the stall.

"Twenty-five spirit stones. Second-hand item, usable, just poorly made."

"twenty."

The stall owner smacked his lips and hesitated for a moment.

"Twenty-two."

"OK."

Li Yuan counted out twenty-two spirit stones and placed them on the cloth, then put the alchemy furnace into his storage bag.

Keep going.

I didn't check the detailed information of the entry on the spot. The stall area was bustling with people; it wasn't appropriate to stare blankly at a refining furnace in public. I'll look at it when I get back to my lodgings.

Turn off the main street towards the outside of the market area.

The outline of the shed area came into view ahead. Old Sun's shed was at the very back.

When Li Yuan walked over, Old Sun was squatting next to the medicine furnace, dispensing a batch of medicinal liquid into porcelain bottles.

Hearing footsteps, Old Sun looked up.

"They've arrived. Perfect timing, a new batch of Killing Essence Pills has just been refined."

He rummaged through a corner of the shed and found a few small bottles.

"Fifty pieces, the old price, ninety spirit stones."

Li Yuan counted out the spirit stones and placed them on the stone platform, then put the porcelain bottle into his storage bag.

Old Sun grunted in agreement and squatted back down next to the medicine furnace to continue his work.

Li Yuan left the outer perimeter of the Dan Hall and returned to his residence on the outskirts of the city along the same route.

The courtyard gate closed, and we entered the main house.

Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed.

He took out three Sha Yuan Pills from his storage bag, poured them out, and put them in his mouth.

As the pill entered the stomach, both the malevolent energy and the medicinal effects dispersed simultaneously. The spiritual liquid enhanced the pill's amplification effect on spiritual power by 30%, while the affinity with the malevolent energy minimized its negative impact.

The Iron Wall Body Refining Technique was activated. The malevolent energy seeped into the fascia and bones, while the blood and qi were flushed from within.

Then switch back to the Spirit Summoning Technique.

Spiritual energy surged into the body from all directions. After the Spirit Guiding Technique was perfected, all nine meridian pathways were opened, and spiritual energy circulated throughout the body, covering every meridian. The pure spiritual energy eliminated impurities and condensed, sinking into the dantian.

With the continuous enhancement of the spiritual essence gathered by the Na Ling Pill, his cultivation speed was more than twice as fast as that of ordinary people.

One cycle, two cycles, three cycles.

The spiritual energy in the dantian accumulates day by day, through one cycle after another.

By the latter half of the second night, the spiritual energy in his dantian was saturated.

It wasn't just close to saturation; it was truly full. Spiritual energy filled every corner of the dantian, and any more would overflow. The pressure on the dantian walls had reached their limit, and spiritual energy surged within.

The bottleneck of the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Without hesitation, Li Yuan accelerated the circulation of his cultivation technique.

The spiritual energy flowed naturally, and when it encountered a bottleneck, it only paused slightly before being broken through.

Spiritual energy surged from the breach into the deeper dantian space. The new space was a size larger than the original, and the spiritual energy quickly spread out after entering, filling every corner.

The meridians expanded simultaneously. Under the impact of spiritual energy, all the meridians in the body widened by one line at the same time, and the bearing capacity of the meridian walls was further enhanced. The speed of spiritual energy flow was more than 20% faster than before the breakthrough.

The meridian nodes unlocked at the eighth and ninth levels deep within the dantian became even more transparent under the surge of spiritual energy from the breakthrough.

Eight layers of Qi Refining.

Li Yuan raised his hand, clenched his fist, and then relaxed it.

The power was significantly stronger than when he reached the seventh level of Qi Refining. This wasn't just due to the increase in the total amount of spiritual energy, but also a comprehensive change resulting from the simultaneous increase in spiritual energy density and the capacity of his meridians.

With a thought, he increased the degree to which he concealed his aura.

The spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from his body were suppressed. His aura, originally at the eighth level of Qi Refining, gradually decreased to around the sixth level. The area covered by the 30% suppression range expanded significantly after his cultivation level increased.

The permanent attribute that conceals one's aura operates simultaneously, further reducing the already suppressed aura.

From the outside, he appears to be a talisman maker at the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining.

The sky outside the window was already turning white. The sounds of people moving about in the outer shantytowns began to emerge. From Fang Laosan's house came a clattering sound of things being rummaged through; after a while, the door opened, and the footsteps faded away along the dirt road.

Li Yuan stood up from the bed and stretched his limbs.

The body at the eighth level of Qi Refining is different from that at the seventh level. The range of motion in the joints is greater, the speed of muscle contraction is faster, and even the feeling of lung expansion when breathing is deeper than before.
