Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

After tidying up the items on the table, Li Yuan's gaze returned to the bottle of dark gold pills.

Five pills, not all the same size.

Four of them were roughly the same size, about the size of a thumb, with fine cracks and impurities on the surface, and were in average condition.

The fifth one was noticeably larger, with a more even color, a deep, understated golden luster, and a smooth, flawless surface.

Li Yuan took out the one in the best condition and examined it in his palm.

The moment my finger touched it, translucent text appeared before my eyes.

[Equipable item detected: Blood Clotting Pill (Complete)]

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Spiritual and Blood Dual Cultivation (Green) - When cultivating spiritual power, blood energy can be circulated simultaneously; when cultivating blood energy, spiritual power can be circulated simultaneously.]

[Preview of Permanentization Requirements: One cultivation technique and one body-refining technique must be perfected]

[Equipped?]

Green entries.

Li Yuan stared at the effect of the entry twice.

When cultivating spiritual energy, it runs alongside your blood and qi; when cultivating blood and qi, it runs alongside your spiritual energy. In other words, no matter what you cultivate, the other aspect never stops.

The conditions for permanent attainment aren't outrageous, but they're not exactly close either. The Spirit Guiding Technique is already perfected, making it a cultivation method for immortals.

I've only just mastered the Iron Wall Body Refining Technique; I'm still far from perfecting it.

Li Yuan put the blood-clotting pill back into the bottle, but did not equip it immediately.

My equipment slots are currently full (all five are occupied). To equip new items, I need to unequip one first, but there's no rush.

First, figure out what this pill is actually used for.

He put the bottle away, got up, and went next door.

Old Sun was squatting in front of the alchemy furnace, watching the fire, and didn't even look up when he heard the door open.

"Old Sun, do you know about the Blood Clotting Pill?"

Old Sun paused on the stove lid for a moment, then looked up and glanced at Li Yuan.

"Why do you ask that?"

"I overheard someone mention it on the way, but I didn't hear it clearly. When I came back, the name sounded familiar."

Old Sun closed the stove lid, patted the ash off his hands, and stood up to stretch his knees.

"Blood Clotting Pill, used to assist in breakthroughs."

As Old Sun spoke, he reached out and rubbed his lower back.

"It's not exactly rare, but it's not cheap either. It's mainly for old cultivators whose qi and blood are declining. As they get older, their qi and blood decline, and their bodies can't withstand the impact when they break through. The Blood Coagulation Pill can temporarily boost their qi and blood to help their bodies get through it."

"So, young cultivators aren't very useful?"

"Eating it alone won't be very useful," Old Sun shook his head.

"But taking it together with a breakthrough pill can increase the success rate of the breakthrough."

Li Yuan nodded.

"Okay, got it."

Back in his room, Li Yuan closed the door.

Li Yuan sat on the bed and used the Spirit Guiding Technique to restore his spiritual power.

The daytime battles didn't take much to consume, but the Swift Step technique was used at full power for almost half an hour while running away, resulting in a depletion of both spiritual energy and physical strength.

The Spirit Gathering Pill's ability to condense spiritual energy made cultivation very fast; in about half an hour, spiritual energy was restored to full strength.

It was already dark.

The surrounding settlements quieted down, and most of the independent practitioners from the stall area returned to their homes.

Occasionally, someone would walk along the dirt road, their footsteps rustling on the gravel.

Li Yuan took out the bamboo scroll from the Jiexiu's storage bag, unfolded it, and placed it on his lap.

Earth Escape Technique.

The principles of this spell are the same as those of Fire Release: Earth Release: Earth Release: Earth Release: Earth Release: Earth Release: Earth Release: Earth Release: Earth Release - Earth Release: Earth Release. Fire Release: Earth Release: Earth Release.

With a foundation in Fire Release techniques, it's not difficult to understand. The difficulty lies in the conversion of spiritual energy attributes—Li Yuan's spiritual energy is primarily fire-based, and converting it to earth-based requires additional conversion steps, resulting in much greater energy loss than with Fire Release techniques.

Fortunately, with the comprehension boost, the speed at which one learns magic increases by 50%.

Following the incantation on the bamboo slip, Li Yuan guided the flow of spiritual energy, attempting to convert a small amount of spiritual energy from fire to earth.

The transformation process went more smoothly than expected.

The Hundred Meridians Returning to Origin Technique demonstrates its effectiveness in harmonizing different spiritual energies within the meridians.

When spiritual energy switches attributes in the meridians, the meridians do not show any rejection reaction, only the conversion speed is a little slower.

After trying more than ten times, Li Yuan condensed a ball of dark yellow spiritual energy in his palm. The density of the spiritual energy was not high, but the purity of its attributes was barely enough.

He pressed the ball of spiritual energy into the ground following the guidance of the incantation.

The spiritual energy seeped into the ground, creating a faint resonance with the soil beneath their feet.

I felt it. It was like the soil beneath my feet had turned into water, a sensation of being able to sink into it. Vague, unstable, it would break if I loosened my grip, but it was definitely there.

Semi-transparent text emerged.

Earth Escape Technique - Beginner (12/200)

I've entered the door.

Li Yuan withdrew his spiritual power, rolled up the bamboo slip, and set it aside.

Earth Escape Technique is not usable yet; the beginner stage only establishes a preliminary connection with earth-elemental spiritual power. To truly escape underground, one must at least reach a high level of proficiency. However, having more escape methods is always a good thing.

He closed his eyes, preparing to continue his cultivation, when suddenly the Qi Memory system reacted.

A familiar aura rapidly approached from the east.

Wang Lu.

They were moving very fast, much faster than usual, as if they were in a hurry to get here.

Li Yuan opened his eyes, got up, and walked to the door.

A moment later, the courtyard gate was pushed open.

Wang Lu stood at the door, his face grim. The lantern light shone on his face, his lips were tightly pressed together, and there was an barely suppressed panic in his eyes.

Something's happened.

Wang Lu entered the house and closed the door behind him.

Old Sun also heard the commotion and poked his head out from next door. Wang Lu beckoned him in.

The three people were standing in Li Yuan's room.

Wang Lu took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Qu Bo's spirit tablet is broken."

Old Sun's expression changed.

The Soul Card is a life-saving token created by the royal family for their core fighting force. It is forged with the essence of blood; as long as the person lives, the card exists; when the person dies, the card shatters. A shattered Soul Card means that the person is dead.

"When did this happen?" Old Sun asked.

"This afternoon, we received news from the family." Wang Lu looked at Li Yuan.

"Where did Uncle Qu go today? Did he tell you?"

"Uncle Qu took me out today and set up a formation on the hillside, intending to lure Jie Xiu here."

Li Yuan thought for a moment and then spoke.

"After the formation was set up, Uncle Qu asked me to pour spiritual energy into it to keep it running."

Wang Lu did not interrupt, signaling him to continue.

"After drinking for about half an hour, a person appeared in the northwest direction."

"Master Qu recognized the man's aura, said it was one of his targets, and gave chase. He told me to stay where I was and continue maintaining the formation."

"and then?"

"After Qu Bo chased after him, he never came back."

Li Yuan paused for a moment, "I waited on the hillside for a while, and then a few people came from the northeast, wearing Li family clothes. I didn't dare to stay and left."

Did Qu Bo say anything before he chased after him?

"No. They walked very fast, as if they were afraid the person would run away."

Wang Lu remained silent for a few moments.

"Lure the tiger away from the mountain," he said in a low voice.

"Send someone to lure Qu Bo away first, then attack from another direction—no, Qu Bo's strength is not something an ordinary person can handle... unless there's more than one person on the other side."

Wang Lu paced back and forth in the room, his steps hurried.

"The Li family. Those people wearing Li family clothes, did they only appear after Uncle Qu chased after them?"

"Yes, Qu Bo arrived about fifteen minutes after he left."

"How many people?"

"Four of them. I didn't check their cultivation levels closely, but the one in front has a strong aura."

Wang Lu gritted his teeth and didn't ask for any more details.

"You two stay here for now, don't go out, especially not north." Wang Lu looked at Li Yuan, then at Lao Sun. "I need to go back and report the situation here. Wait for news."

After saying that, Wang Lu pushed open the door and left.

The footsteps faded quickly along the dirt road, soon disappearing into the night.

Old Sun stood there silently for a while, then sighed: "With Qu Bo's strength... for him to be defeated, the other side must have gone all out."

Li Yuan did not respond.

Old Sun shook his head, turned around and went back to the next room to continue guarding his alchemy furnace.

Li Yuan closed the door and sat back on the bed.

Wang Lu never mentioned the Spirit Yuan Fruit from beginning to end.

They didn't ask where the Spirit Essence Fruit was, nor did they ask if Uncle Qu had taken it away, and they didn't even mention the words "Spirit Essence Fruit."

Li Yuan resumed using the Spirit Guiding Technique and immersed himself in cultivation.

The next morning, Li Yuan opened the shop as usual.

Making talismans, receiving independent cultivators, and selling talismans were no different from usual.

When Li Yuan went out to buy materials at noon, he noticed two more people beside the dirt road on the east side of the settlement.

Dressed in ordinary gray-brown cloth, like the attire of wandering monks, they sat on roadside stones, drinking water and resting. Although most of the tokens at their waists were wrapped in cloth, a faint pattern was visible on the exposed corner.

The patterns of the Li family.

Li Yuan walked past without looking to the side, bought the materials, and came back.

I went out again in the afternoon, taking a different route. Near the fork in the road north of the settlement, I saw another one. This one was squatting alone, leaning against a dead tree, its hat brim pulled low.

At least three Li family cultivators were scattered around the perimeter of the settlement.

Whether it's surveillance or deployment, it's uncertain, but there won't be any action in the short term.

Within thirty miles of the outer edge of the secret realm, the Yuan Yang Sect's rule prohibiting fighting still applies, so they dare not cause trouble here.

Li Yuan returned to the shop, closed the door, and continued his cultivation.

Li Yuan practiced his cultivation until late at night, then switched to practicing the Earth Escape Technique.

The conversion of earth-elemental spiritual energy was smoother than during the day, and a stable dark yellow ball of spiritual energy could now be condensed in my palm. Each time I pressed spiritual energy into the ground, the resonance with the soil was clearer than the last time.

The mastery of Earth Escape Technique increases slowly but steadily.
