Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

The next morning, Li Yuan sat at the table and took out the two new talismans he had made the night before.

Place the Ice Spike Rune on the left and the Wind Rune on the right.

First, look at the icicle symbol.

Fingertips touch the surface of the talisman.

White text. Increases the casting speed and power of water-attribute spells by 10%.

The condition for permanent use is to accumulate two hundred uses of water-based spells.

Li Yuan currently knows the Ice Spike spell, which is at a beginner level.

Two hundred uses is not a small amount, but it's not impossible. If you really want to spend the time, you can finish it in a day.

However, making it permanent would require a trip, and since this entry isn't very useful to me right now, I'm not in a hurry to make it permanent.

Move your finger to the Wind Rune on the right.

[Preview of Permanentization Requirements: Wind Walk skill proficiency reaches max level (0/1)]

[Current equipment slots are full (5/5). Replace current equipment?]

White text. Wind spells consume 10% less mana.

The condition for permanentization is that the Wind Walk skill is perfected.

Li Yuan has not yet learned the Wind Walk technique.

To make this entry permanent, you first need to find the spell training method for Wind Walk and then master it.

Perfection is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time.

In the days that followed, Li Yuan devoted most of his energy to making talismans.

The newly learned Ice Spike and Wind Walk runes require repeated practice to improve proficiency, and the feel of the Breaking Barrier rune also needs further refinement.

In addition to the existing dozen or so types of talismans that are produced in rotation, the daily production volume of talismans is very large.

Switching between different types remains the most effective way to boost overall proficiency in talisman-making.

The more talismans you master, the faster your overall proficiency will increase.

The success rate of breaking the restriction talisman has increased from 60% to 70%, and the quality of the talisman is also continuously improving.

The existing talismans are also being developed in parallel.

The Golden Armor Talisman's solidified and solidified armor patterns were among the earliest spiritual patterns that Li Yuan mastered, giving him a profound foundation.

Previously, I had been stuck at the proficiency stage without much deliberate effort, but in the past few days, during the rotation of production, the progress has been very fast.

The panel jumped.

[Talisman: Golden Armor Talisman - Proficiency (0/800)]

The Rejuvenation Talisman arrived shortly after.

[Talisman: Rejuvenation Talisman - Mastery (0/800)]

Two days later, the Qi-gathering talisman arrived.

[Talisman: Qi Gathering Talisman - Proficient (0/800)]

The proficiency with Ice Spike Talisman, Wind Walk Talisman, and Barrier Breaking Talisman is also steadily increasing, and they have all passed the beginner stage.

【Talisman: Ice Cone Talisman - Beginner (127/200)】

【Talisman: Windwalking Talisman - Beginner (101/200)】

【Talisman: Barrier-Breaking Talisman - Beginner (112/200)】

The overall proficiency of first-order talisman making has been pushed forward significantly by the intensive rotation of production these past few days.

That evening, just as Li Yuan finished drawing a Qi-gathering talisman, there was a knock on the courtyard gate.

The knocking was done politely, with even intervals.

Li Yuan put down the talisman brush and walked to the door.

Manager Han stood outside the courtyard gate, wearing a dark gray robe, which was more formal than his usual attire in the shop.

"Fellow Daoist Li, I apologize for disturbing you."

"Manager Han," Li Yuan said, opening the courtyard gate. "Come in and sit down."

After Manager Han entered, he rubbed his hands together and began to speak.

There's something I'd like to discuss with you.

He glanced towards the courtyard gate, made sure no one was outside, and then lowered his voice.

"My son, the one you saw in the shop, the one who squats next to the counter every day drawing useless talismans."

Li Yuan nodded. Manager Han's son, sixteen or seventeen years old, could be seen practicing making talismans at a low table every time he delivered goods to Ziyuan Trading Company. The bamboo basket always contained more discarded talismans than finished ones.

"He wants to learn how to make talismans, but I can't teach him," Shopkeeper Han said, shrugging.

Li Yuan glanced at him. "You don't know how to make talismans?"

"Won't."

Manager Han smiled, his tone frank.

"I've been selling talismans and spiritual herbs at Ziyuan Trading Company for over twenty years. I've handled tens of thousands of talismans, so my eye for quality is pretty good."

"But appreciating is one thing, making is another. I've never drawn talismans before, I don't have that skill."

He tapped his fingers twice on his knee.

"The kid is interested in making talismans. He's been studying from books for over half a year, but he hasn't even gotten close to the basics."

He looked at Li Yuan.

"I know your skills. I want my son to learn from you."

After finishing speaking, Manager Han paused for a moment.

"But it's not suitable these days. We have a big order to ship right now, and the boy needs to help out at the shop. How about we have him come over after we're done?"

Li Yuan thought about it.

Teaching people how to make talismans is not impossible, but it depends on the conditions.

"And the payment?"

"Spirit stones will be given at market price."

Manager Han stated frankly, "As long as it's not too outrageous, it's fine. Also, Ziyuan Trading Company will increase your purchase price by 50% in the future."

The conditions aren't bad. Teaching someone the basic techniques of talisman making doesn't take too much time; one or two hours a day is enough, and the rest of the time can be spent on talisman making and cultivation as usual.

Li Yuan had no shortage of extra spirit stone income; the real benefit was the 50% increase in the purchase price.

Li Yuan had no shortage of extra spirit stone income; the real benefit was the 50% increase in the purchase price.

"Okay," Li Yuan nodded. "Have him come over in a few days."

Shopkeeper Han's smile relaxed a little.

Thank you.

He stood up to leave, but paused at the courtyard gate and turned around.

"By the way, is there anything you need? Ziyuan Trading Company has a fairly wide network of channels, and I'll keep an eye out for some hard-to-find items for you."

Li Yuan thought about it.

"Any spells that attack the soul or spirit?"

The condition for making the Divine Refining Talisman permanent is to kill a mid-grade first-tier Yin Spirit with a pure divine soul attack, and I am currently lacking a divine soul attack spell.

This also allows me to have more diverse methods.

Manager Han raised his eyebrows slightly.

"A soul attack?"

He tilted his head and thought for a few moments.

"This kind of spell isn't very common, but I remember one or two of my regular clients having it. I'll go ask them."

"OK."

Manager Han nodded, pushed open the door, and went out.

Li Yuan closed the courtyard gate and returned to his table to continue making talismans.

About an hour later, there was another knock on the courtyard gate.

When I opened the door, I saw that Manager Han had returned.

He now held a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand.

"Found it."

Shopkeeper Han handed over the bamboo slip. "This is from an old customer. It's called Soul Piercing Technique. It's a low-grade first-tier soul attack spell that uses soul power to condense into a spiritual needle and pierce the target's soul."

"Its power isn't great, but its speed makes it difficult to defend against."

He quoted a price: "Forty-five spirit stones."

Li Yuan took the bamboo slip, and the moment his finger touched the surface of the bamboo slip, a panel popped out.

[Equipable item detected]

[Item Attribute Level: White]

White entries.

Li Yuan counted out the spirit stones and placed them in Manager Han's hand, then put the bamboo slip into his storage bag.

Thank you.

Shopkeeper Han tucked the spirit stones into his sleeve and waved with a smile.

"Of course. Just let me know if you need anything in the future."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Li Yuan closed the door, sat down at the table, and unfolded the bamboo slips.

The method of cultivating the Soul Needle Technique is not complicated. The core is to separate a small portion of the soul power from the consciousness, condense it into an extremely thin spiritual needle, and shoot it out through the soul node between the eyebrows.

Li Yuan tried it out according to the incantation on the bamboo slip.

A wisp of divine soul power surged from the depths of consciousness, converging along a specific path to the center of the forehead.

The long-term strengthening of the soul through the Soul-Illuminating Mirror's soul-light tempering and alchemy insights is evident here. The speed at which the soul's power condenses is much faster than described in the manual, and the density of the condensed spiritual needles is also higher.

A fine, spiritual needle formed between Li Yuan's brows. He did not release it, but slowly withdrew it.

After practicing a few more times, my feel for the game gradually stabilized.

[Spell: Soul Pierce - Beginner (0/200)]

I've gotten the hang of it.

Li Yuan closed the bamboo slip.

Fingertips touched the surface of the bamboo slips.

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Soul Piercing Backlash (White) - Reduces the backlash suffered after a failed Soul Attack by 30%]

[Preview of Permanentization Conditions: Cultivate a soul cultivation technique and reach the entry level (0/1)]

[Current equipment slots are full (5/5). Replace current equipment?]

White text entry. Soul Spike backlash.

The backlash from a failed soul attack is reduced by 30%.

Most soul attacks are a double-edged sword. The Soul Piercing Technique is no exception; if it hits the target, the target's soul is damaged.

If the opponent resists, the spiritual energy of the attack will rebound and damage one's soul.

A 30% reduction in backlash means it's safer to use and the cost of trial and error is lower.

Of course, there are also soul-attacking spells that do not have backlash, but they are few.

The condition for permanentization is to cultivate a spiritual technique and reach the entry level.

Divine Soul Cultivation Technique.

It's not a spell that attacks the soul, but a technique that cultivates and strengthens the soul.

Li Yuan does not currently possess such a thing.

The Soul-Illuminating Mirror and Alchemy Insights are passive ways to strengthen the soul, the Divine Refining Talisman is a one-time use talisman, and the Soul Piercing Technique is an offensive spell. None of them are systematic methods for cultivating the soul.

Li Yuan put the bamboo slips into his storage bag and sat down on the bed.

Now that we have the Soul Piercing Technique, as long as we find a mid-grade first-tier Yin Soul and kill it with the Soul Piercing Technique, the Divine Refining Talisman can be made permanent.

Not urgent.

Li Yuan sat cross-legged and began circulating the Spirit Guiding Technique.

As spiritual energy surges into the body, spiritual power and blood flow alternately through the meridians, circulating more and more smoothly.
