Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Besides the increased efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy, the most noticeable change after mastering the Green Wood Longevity Technique is improved recovery ability.

The permanent attribute of Wood Spirit Nourishment had already increased the speed of injury recovery by 50%. After mastering the Green Wood Longevity Technique, the technique itself also has a passive recovery effect. With the two combined, the body's self-repair ability has reached a very high level.

After completing his cultivation, Li Yuan bought a batch of second-tier talisman-making materials from the materials store in the market.

The second-tier talisman paper, water-based spirit ink, and water-condensing sand cost nearly eighty spirit stones in total. They were several times more expensive than first-tier materials, but the quality was also completely different.

The fibers of the second-tier talisman paper are extremely dense, and its spiritual energy permeability is more than twice that of the first-tier talisman paper. The water-based spiritual ink is light blue and has a slightly thinner texture than ordinary spiritual ink. It flows better when dipped into the tip of the brush, making it suitable for drawing the soft and continuous flow of water-based spiritual patterns.

Back in the courtyard, he spread out the first sheet of second-tier talisman paper, dipped it in water-based spiritual ink, and began to write.

Water droplet pattern.

The spiritual energy seeped from the tip of the pen into the talisman paper, following the route marked on the production instructions.

The first spiritual rune encountered a problem after only one-third of its travel.

The precision requirements for second-tier spirit runes are significantly higher than those for first-tier runes. First-tier spirit runes mostly follow straight lines or simple curves, while second-tier runes feature complex combinations of curves.

The water ripples resemble a spiral of water, and spiritual energy needs to be evenly distributed within the spiral, neither accumulating nor becoming sparse.

When the spiritual energy reached the second circle of the spiral, the density was not uniform enough, and leakage appeared at the edge of the pattern.

obsolete.

Li Yuan lifted the discarded talisman and set it aside, then spread out the second one.

The second one was better; the water condensation pattern was complete, but a problem arose at the junction with the spirit storage pattern. The junction between the two spirit patterns requires the spirit energy to flow in two directions simultaneously, and the proportion of the flow must be precise to an extremely small margin of error.

The distribution ratio was off, the spiritual energy density of the spirit storage pattern was insufficient, and the pattern broke in the middle.

It's ruined again.

The third, the fourth, and the fifth.

After practicing repeatedly and wasting more than a dozen talismans, Li Yuan gradually stabilized his skills.

Li Yuan took a short break.

Then redraw the complete Spirit Water Talisman.

The first one, the Water Condensation Pattern was completed, the Spirit Storage Pattern was also completed, but it failed again when it came to the third Spirit Pattern. The spiritual power of the Rain Gathering Pattern is divergent, which is completely opposite to the convergence of the Water Condensation Pattern. When switching, the inertia of the spiritual power was not controlled.

The second one had reached the ninth of the twelve spiritual runes and was almost complete, but too much spiritual energy leaked out during the consolidation phase, making it unqualified.

The third one.

Li Yuan focused all his attention on his fingertips, and spiritual energy seeped into the talisman paper from the tip of the pen.

The water ripples spiral in direction, with spiritual energy evenly distributed.

Spirit storage pattern, connecting node, six-four split.

The rain-gathering pattern spreads outwards, indicating that spiritual energy is shifting from gathering to dispersing.

We walked through each path, each one more stable than the last.

The tenth, the eleventh, and the twelfth.

pack.

A very faint, light blue sheen floated on the surface of the talisman, soft and clear, like a thin film of water covering the talisman paper.

It became.

The panel popped up.

Introduction to Second-Order Talisman Making

The leap from the first-tier perfection to the second-tier entry level represents a significant leap. The difference between the first and second tiers is not merely an increase in the number and precision of spirit patterns, but a qualitative change in the way spirit power is manipulated.

The control system has evolved from linear control in one direction to three-dimensional control in multiple directions.

Li Yuan placed the spirit water talisman on the corner of the table and drew two more first-tier talismans to regain his feel for it.

Refining Spirit Talisman. First-tier, high-grade.

After perfecting the first-tier talisman-making technique, the creation of the Divine Refining Talisman became a purely instinctive operation, reaching the pinnacle of the first tier.

Over the next few days, Li Yuan alternated between making talismans and cultivating.

During the day, he draws talismans, alternating between spirit water talismans and various first-tier talismans. His proficiency in second-tier talisman-making techniques is slowly accumulating, while his proficiency in first-tier talismans is also progressing in tandem.

During evening cultivation, the Green Wood Longevity Technique was used to advance cultivation, the Evil Spirit Transformation Method was used to digest evil energy, the Soul Condensation Technique was used to forge the soul, and although the Iron Wall Body Refining Technique had been perfected, the coexistence of evil energy continued.

The success rate of the Spirit Water Talisman gradually increased from zero at the beginning, and by the fourth day it had stabilized at around 30%.

That afternoon, Li Yuan finished drawing a spirit water talisman and put down his brush.

A light blue sheen appeared on the surface of the talisman, indicating that its quality was much better than a few days ago.

Li Yuan picked up the talisman and placed his fingers on its surface.

The panel popped up.

Green entry. Water Essence.

The quality of water-based spiritual energy has increased by 30%.

The condition for permanent attainment is to cultivate a water-attribute technique and reach perfection.

Li Yuan currently does not possess any water-attribute cultivation techniques. The Ice Cone Technique is a water-based spell but not a cultivation technique, and his proficiency is far from perfect.

This entry can't be made permanent for now, just remember it for now.

Li Yuan put the spirit water talisman into his storage bag.

Just as I was about to continue drawing the next picture, there was a knock on the gate.

Indeed, quite a few people came to visit after I reached the Foundation Establishment stage. First it was Ji Huaiyuan, then Wang De, and now they've come again.

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

A female cultivator in her forties stood outside the door.

Her face was aloof, and she wore a dark blue dress with a short sword at her waist.

Li Yuan recognized her.

I've seen her at the Foundation Establishment trade fair. She's the female cultivator who traded 500 acres of spirit fields for a defensive formation set from Chen Yi.

She cupped her hands in a respectful gesture towards Li Yuan.

"Fellow Daoist Li, I apologize for the intrusion. I am Qin Ruoshuang, the president of the Ziyuan Trading Company."

Ziyuan Trading Company.

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment.

Ziyuan Trading Company. Manager Han's shop.

Manager Han's shop is called Ziyuan Trading Company, but it is only a branch in Yunyang Market.

"Come in."

Qin Ruoshuang walked into the courtyard, sat down on the stone bench, glanced at the talisman paper and spirit ink on the table, and nodded.

Li Yuan sat down opposite him. "What is it?"

Qin Ruoshuang didn't beat around the bush.

"Two things. First, let's get to know each other. I didn't have a chance to speak at the trade fair, so I came here specifically today."

She placed her fingers on the table.

"Second, cooperation."

She looked at Li Yuan.

"Ziyuan Trading Company has seven branches in this area, and the one in Yunyang Market is just one of them. The company's main business is the sale of talismans and spiritual herbs, but the supply of first-grade high-quality talismans has always been a weakness."

She held up one finger.

"Manager Han told me that your talismans are top-notch in the entire Yunyang Market. I would like to ask you to supply more first-tier high-grade talismans to Ziyuan Trading Company."

First-grade superior talisman.

"I currently only know how to refine one type of first-grade high-level divine talisman," Li Yuan said.

Qin Ruoshuang's expression showed no surprise, as if she had already expected it.

She took two animal hide scrolls from her storage bag and placed them on the table.

"These two are the recipes for high-grade first-tier talismans. One is a Spirit Gathering Talisman, used to assist cultivation, which can greatly increase the efficiency of spiritual energy absorption in a short period of time. The other is a Demon-Slaying Talisman, specifically designed to counter evil spirits, and has a strong restraining effect on the spiritual power of yin spirits and demonic cultivators."

She pushed the two booklets in front of Li Yuan.

"I'll give you the recipe. Once you learn it, supply Ziyuan Trading Company with the goods, and the purchase price will be calculated at the highest grade of Tier 1 superior products."

Li Yuan picked up the two booklets and flipped through them. The Gathering Yuan Talisman and the Demon-Slaying Talisman were both highly practical types of talismans, and their sales wouldn't be bad.

"Can."

Qin Ruoshuang nodded, and was about to say the next sentence when Li Yuan spoke first.

Do you need a talisman for healing water?

Qin Ruoshuang paused for a moment.

Qin Ruoshuang was silent for a moment, then the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

"need."

Her tone was more enthusiastic than before.

"I still have thousands of acres of spirit fields, but I'm short of spirit water talismans. Relying on the weather for the output of spirit fields is too slow. If I have spirit water talismans to bring rain and cultivate the land, the yield can be increased by at least 50%."

"I currently have two finished spirit water talismans in my possession, and their condition is decent." Li Yuan took two spirit water talismans from his storage bag and placed them on the table. "To ensure a stable supply in the future, we need to further improve the success rate."

Qin Ruoshuang picked up the two spirit water talismans and examined them, pressing her fingers on the talisman to sense the density of spiritual energy.

"They're in good condition." She nodded. "I'll take these two. You set the price."

The two discussed the price: the spirit water talisman would be settled at 120 spirit stones per talisman, and a long-term price could be negotiated if the supply remained stable.

Both parties were very satisfied with the two first-tier superior crafting recipes and the long-term supply agreement for the Spirit Water Talisman.

Qin Ruoshuang carefully put away the spirit stones and two spirit water talismans, then stood up.

"It's a pleasure doing business with you. If you need anything in the future, just ask Manager Han to pass it on."

She cupped her hands in a respectful gesture to Li Yuan, then turned and left the courtyard.

Li Yuan closed the door and returned to the table.

I opened the two new first-tier superior crafting manuals and read them through. The spirit pattern structures of the Gathering Yuan Talisman and the Demon-Slaying Talisman are more complex than those of the Refining Spirit Talisman, but with a foundation of perfect first-tier talisman crafting skills, they shouldn't be too difficult to learn.

Two hundred and forty spirit stones were deposited into the account, along with two new recipes and a long-term supply channel.

Li Yuan put the booklet away and sat on the bed to continue his cultivation.
