Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed and circulated the Soul Condensation Technique several more times.

The power of the soul repeatedly compressed and expanded at the point between the eyebrows, with each cycle slightly increasing its density.

After getting the hang of it, my feel is more stable than before, and I can grasp the limit of compression more accurately.

After completing the last cycle, Li Yuan opened his eyes.

With a thought, he dispelled the Hundred Meridians Return to Origin Technique.

He took out the bamboo scroll of the Soul Piercing Technique from his storage bag and equipped it.

The panel then popped up.

The conditions for making Soul Spike Backlash (White) permanent have been met.

Is it permanent?

Yes.

[Permanentization successful]

[Soul Piercing Backlash (White) has become a permanent descriptor]

[Equipment consumed]

The bamboo slip transformed into a beam of white light between his fingers and disappeared into his brow.

A very thin buffer layer was added deep within the soul, like a soft cushion between the outer wall and the core of the soul.

In the future, the recoil force when a soul attack fails will be absorbed by 30% by this buffer, greatly reducing the cost of trial and error.

Li Yuan got up and walked to the table.

The dark blue jade plate with spiritual energy on the table was still in its original place.

Green attribute. Increases the quality of the finished product by 20% when crafting the talisman.

The condition for permanentization is to use this item to assist in making 300 runes.

Li Yuan took the jade plate in his hand and flipped it over.

The gaunt cultivator said that after infusing spiritual energy into it, there was no noticeable reaction.

Li Yuan also tried it. He placed his palm against the back of the jade plate and poured in his spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy seeped into the spiritual patterns inside the jade plate, circulated within it, and then... nothing happened.

The spirit patterns did not light up, the dark red bead in the center remained unchanged, and the jade plate did not emit any spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy infused was absorbed by the spiritual rune circuit, but it did not trigger any function.

Li Yuan withdrew his spiritual power and placed the jade plate back on the table.

According to the panel, the condition for permanentization is to use this item to assist in making 300 runes.

It doesn't mean you can use the talisman 300 times after equipping it; it means you can use this item as an aid.

Li Yuan stared at the jade plate for two breaths.

The effect of this entry is to increase the quality of the finished product by 20% when crafting a talisman.

It is directly related to symbolic creation. The condition for permanence is also symbolic creation.

This thing is definitely an auxiliary tool used for making talismans.

The question is how to use it.

Li Yuan picked up the jade plate again, turned it over, and examined it carefully.

The surface of the plate is flat and smooth, with extremely fine spiritual patterns along the edges, extending from the outer ring all the way to the central bead. The spiritual patterns converge from the outside in, somewhat similar to the closed loop of a spirit-gathering array.

A convergent spirit pattern structure.

The spiritual energy is gathered from the edges to the center.

Li Yuan placed the jade plate flat on the table, with the plate facing upwards.

Then he took out a herbal talisman from his storage bag and placed it on the jade plate.

The talisman was larger than the jade plate, with its edges hanging over the rim. The talisman was pressed against the surface of the jade plate, and the dark red bead in the center could be felt to be slightly warm through the talisman.

Li Yuan placed his left palm on the back of the jade plate and infused it with spiritual energy.

Spiritual energy seeped into the spiritual runes, converging from the edges to the center.

This time, the dark red bead in the center lit up.

The light didn't come from above the plate—the light from the bead passed through the talisman paper, shining up from the bottom and casting a soft, dark red glow around the center of the paper.

Spiritual energy surged from the bead, but instead of shooting upwards, it slowly spread out along the bottom of the talisman paper.

It was as if a very thin layer of spiritual energy was placed under the talisman.

Li Yuan picked up the talisman brush with his right hand, dipped it in spiritual ink, and made the first stroke on the talisman paper.

The spiritual energy seeped from the tip of the pen into the talisman paper, but before it had traveled more than two inches, Li Yuan's hand paused slightly.

Different.

The stability of the talisman paper improved significantly after the spiritual energy seeped into it.

When drawing talismans, the spiritual energy seeps into the paper and diffuses in a very small amount.

This spread has now almost disappeared.

After the spiritual energy seeped into the paper, it was firmly locked within the path of the spiritual patterns, without leaking out in the slightest.

It was the spiritual energy infused into the bottom of the jade plate that was at work, which greatly improved the stability of the spiritual patterns.

Li Yuan continued drawing.

The six spiritual patterns were completed in one go and then came to a close.

The crimson glow rising from the surface of the talisman was deeper, more intense, and more even than that of a fireball talisman drawn normally.

The quality of the finished product is indeed higher.

Li Yuan peeled the fireball talisman off the jade plate and examined it in his hand.

The precision of the runes was a level higher than his usual high-level finished products.

The spiritual energy was distributed extremely evenly in every pattern, with almost no deviation. The leakage of spiritual energy during the convergence was also reduced to an unprecedentedly low level.

The panel pops up.

[Spiritual Essence Refinement (Green) Permanentization Progress: 1/300]

As expected. No equipment is needed; as long as you actually use the jade disc to assist in crafting talismans, you can accumulate progress.

Li Yuan set the fireball talisman aside and laid a new talisman paper on the jade plate.

Three hundred times.

At the current rate of talisman making, it takes about five or six days to accumulate enough talismans.

However, using a jade plate to make talismans requires continuously pouring spiritual energy into the jade plate with one hand, which means that you can only draw talismans with one hand.

Drawing talismans with one hand is not a major obstacle for a master talisman maker.

After mastering the art of talisman making, the coordination between the wrist and fingers has been ingrained in muscle memory, allowing one hand to complete all operations.

Although the spiritual energy consumption will be greater than usual, with the total spiritual energy of a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator, plus the various affixes that accelerate spiritual energy recovery and increase the total spiritual energy, it is not a problem.

Li Yuan put the jade plate into his storage bag and stood up to stretch his wrists.

The sky outside the window was already completely dark. The light from the lamp outside the courtyard wall seeped in through the cracks, casting a soft glow on the two newly drawn talismans on the table.

Li Yuan sat on the bed and began to practice his internal energy cross-legged.

Spiritual energy surges into the body, and spiritual power and blood flow alternately through the meridians.

The practice of the Soul Condensation Technique was also incorporated, with each cycle of several days focusing the consciousness on the center of the forehead, performing a cycle of soul compression and relaxation.

After mastering the Soul Condensation Technique, although the strengthening of the soul in each cycle is slight, when combined with the Soul Mirror, alchemy insights, and soul tempering, the cumulative effect is considerable over time.

The next morning, Han Qing arrived on time.

He still looked reserved, standing at the gate of the courtyard with his cloth bag in hand. When he saw Li Yuan open the door, he respectfully greeted him as "Master Li".

Li Yuan invited him in and had him sit down at the table.

"Did you practice the pen grip and starting angle I taught you yesterday?"

"I've practiced." Han Qing took out a stack of talisman paper from the cloth bag. "I drew more than twenty, and wasted eighteen of them."

He spread the stack of discarded talismans on the table.

Li Yuan glanced at it.

The quality of the discarded talismans is somewhat better than it was the day before yesterday.

"Look here." Li Yuan turned one of the discarded talismans over and pointed to a section in the middle of the Fire Gathering Pattern that was noticeably thicker.

"The increase in spiritual energy is not uniform. It increases slowly from the beginning to the middle, and accelerates from the middle to the end. If you suddenly speed it up here, the spiritual energy will pile up, and the lines will become thicker."

Han Qing leaned closer to take a closer look and nodded.

"Draw another one."

Han Qing spread out the talisman paper, dipped his brush in ink, and began to write.

Li Yuan watched from the side, occasionally offering reminders.

"Slow down... Yes, that's the rhythm... Start accelerating in the middle, but don't accelerate all at once, gradually increase the speed..."

Han Qing's wrist is much more flexible than it was the day before yesterday.

With Han Qing's final stroke, a very faint crimson glow appeared on the surface of the talisman, making it much better than the previous failed talismans, but it was not yet a finished product.

"Not a complete success, but the approach is right." Li Yuan set the half-finished paper aside. "Continue."

Han Qing drew five or six more. The success rate wasn't high, but each one was a little better than the last.

More than an hour later, Han Qing put down his brush and carefully stacked the finished product and the discarded talisman.

"The same time tomorrow," Li Yuan said.

Han Qing nodded, put the things into the cloth bag, bowed to Li Yuan, and turned to leave the courtyard.

After Han Qing left, Li Yuan closed the courtyard gate.

He took out the Spirit Jade Plate from his storage bag and placed it on the table.

Each time you draw a talisman, the progress increases by one point.

After an afternoon of work, Li Yuan had completed twenty-eight finished paintings, bringing the total progress to thirty-one.

I meditate cross-legged at night, fully activating the Spirit Guiding Technique. I also intersperse the Soul Condensation Technique, performing a set of soul-forging exercises every few cycles.

Spiritual energy and blood flowed alternately through the meridians, and cultivation progressed steadily.
