Li Yuan returned to the outskirts of Ghost Mist Forest and sorted through the monster materials in his storage bag.

The dark blue scales, spine, ribs, fangs, and tail spikes of the Jiaolin Lizard, along with the fur and bones of the first-tier demonic beasts killed in the past few days, filled a storage bag to the brim.

The scales and bones are of good quality; they could be used to forge decent defensive magical artifacts.

The Ji family is skilled in crafting magical artifacts, and they even possess a crafting token. Once we return to the market, we can ask Ji Huaiyuan if we have enough materials to craft a magical artifact.

But there's no rush.

Li Yuan put away the materials and focused his attention on the dark blue second-tier inner core.

The inner core of the Jiaolin Lizard, a second-tier demon beast.

At the trade fair, Li Ze'an sold a second-tier divine soul-type demon beast inner core—exchanging the core for another core, plus 500 spirit stones.

Now that he has a second-tier inner core, although he doesn't have a lot of spirit stones, he can still scrape together five hundred.

The condition for permanent Soul Light Tempering is: consuming a second-tier or higher Divine Soul-type Demonic Beast Inner Core.

This condition has been a long-standing problem. The inner cores of spirit-type demonic beasts are extremely rare, almost never seen on the market. The one Li Ze'an brought out at the trade fair is currently the only known source.

Li Yuan walked along the official road towards Lijiafang Market.

Li Ze'an said that we could go to the Li family in Lijiafang Market to find him.

Lijiafang Market is located southeast of Yunyang Market, not too far away. Li Yuan used his Divine Speed ​​Step to travel, and arrived at the outskirts of Lijiafang Market in about half a day.

Li Yuan entered the city and found the location based on the information he obtained at the trade fair.

A greyish-white stone building stood with the Li family's insignia hanging at the entrance. Two Qi Refining stage guards stood at the door, their eyes filled with vigilance as Li Yuan approached.

Li Yuan displayed the Yuan Yang Sect's guardian token.

The two guards immediately became respectful.

"I am Li Yuan, a protector of the Yuanyang Sect, and I am looking for fellow Daoist Li Ze'an."

The guard on duty immediately went in to report.

Less than fifteen minutes later, Li Ze'an came out of the stone building.

He looked exactly the same as he did at the trade fair, with a handsome face, wearing an exquisitely crafted gray-blue robe, and a jade pendant at his waist engraved with the character "Li".

Upon seeing Li Yuan, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Li," he cupped his hands in greeting to Li Yuan, "please come in."

The two sat down in a reception room on the second floor of the stone building.

Li Ze'an had tea served, took a sip himself, and waited for Li Yuan to speak.

"Do you still have that second-tier divine soul-type demon beast inner core that you sold at the trade fair?" Li Yuan cut straight to the point.

Li Ze'an put down his teacup and nodded.

"Yes. No one has come to replace it."

Li Yuan took out the inner core of the Flood Dragon Lizard from his storage bag and placed it on the table.

The dark blue inner core gleamed with a calm luster, and its spiritual energy fluctuations were profound.

Li Ze'an picked up the inner core, pressed his finger on the surface, and sensed the density and attributes of the spiritual energy.

"The inner core of the Scaled Lizard." He nodded. "The quality is quite good."

He put the inner elixir back on the table and looked at Li Yuan.

"Inner cores are acceptable. But the condition I stated at the trade fair is to exchange cores for cores plus 500 spirit stones."

He paused for a moment.

"However, I'll change the terms. I don't need the spirit stones; just give me the Flood Dragon Lizard meat and some of the other materials."

Li Yuan glanced at him. "What do you need meat for?"

"Feed for the blue clam."

Li Ze'an's tone was casual. "The meat of second-tier demonic beasts is excellent spirit beast feed, and the jade beads produced by the Azure Cloud Clam after eating it will be of even better quality. The meat of the Flood Dragon Lizard has a high concentration of spiritual energy, which is just right."

The Li family has acquired control of a second-tier demonic beast, the Azure Cloud Clam, which requires high-quality feed. The meat of the Flood Dragon Lizard comes in handy.

"All the meat of the Flood Dragon Lizard is yours," Li Yuan said. "Also, I'll add a batch of first-tier demon beast bones and hides."

Li Zean thought about it.

"All the meat of the Flood Dragon Lizard, plus the bones of a first-tier demon beast—I don't want the fur, just give me some fangs and a few scales from the Flood Dragon Lizard."

"Give me three scales," Li Yuan said.

Li Ze'an nodded.

"make a deal."

He took out a black jade box from his storage bag, placed it on the table, and opened the lid.

The dark purple inner core lay quietly on the velvet cushion, its surface shimmering with extremely fine silver patterns. A concentrated spiritual energy emanated from the inner core, far clearer than anything perceived from a distance at the trade fair.

The inner core of a second-tier divine soul-type demon beast.

Li Yuan took out the inner core of the Jiaolinlizard, all the Jiaolinlizard meat, the bones and fangs of the first-tier demon beast, and three Jiaolinlizard scales one by one and placed them on the table.

Li Zean checked each item one by one, and after confirming that the quality and quantity were correct, he nodded.

The two exchanged items.

Li Yuan put the black jade box into his storage bag and got up to take his leave.

Li Ze'an escorted him to the entrance of the stone building and bowed slightly.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

Li Yuan nodded, left the stone building, and walked along the street toward the city gate.

After leaving Lijiafang Market, we found a quiet hillside to sit down.

Li Yuan put the inner elixir into his mouth.

The moment the inner elixir entered the abdomen, an extremely condensed spiritual power exploded from within.

It was neither scorching nor icy, but a purely spiritual impact.

The power of his soul rushed straight to his brow along a special path, colliding violently with Li Yuan's own soul.

The four layers of spiritual enhancement—soul light tempering from the Soul-Illuminating Mirror, alchemy insights, spiritual condensation, and the Soul-Condensing Technique—all came into play at this moment. When the spiritual power within the inner core impacted the outer wall of the spiritual soul, the outer wall remained as stable as a rock, without the slightest tremor.

The force of the impact was caught by the outer wall of the soul and then slowly absorbed.

The power of the divine soul seeped into the divine soul layer by layer, penetrating from the outer wall into the core, and permeating every corner of the divine soul.

The density is increasing.

The level of refinement is improving.

The clarity of perception is expanding.

This process lasted about fifteen minutes.

After the divine soul power within the inner core was completely absorbed, Li Yuan opened his eyes.

His divine sense expanded outwards, covering an area even larger than before. The location and condition of every blade of grass, every stone, and every insect within a hundred feet were revealed in exquisite detail.

The panel popped up.

The conditions for making Soul Light Tempering (Blue) permanent have been met.

Is it permanent?

Yes.

[Permanentization successful]

[Soul Light Tempering (Blue) has become a permanent entry]

[Equipment consumed]

Blue entries are made permanent.

Soul Light Tempering - Enhances the strength and precision of the soul, starting at 10% and increasing to 50% at the maximum.

This skill was previously active as an equipped item, and its effect was already in effect. After becoming permanent, the effect is permanently locked and no longer needs to occupy an equipment slot.

At the same time, the small print at the bottom of the panel flickered.

[Condition met: Permanently acquire two blue-grade or higher affixes (2/2)]

The conditions have been met.

[New feature being rolled out...]

[New feature unlocked: Enhanced keyword awareness]

With a thought, Li Yuan displayed a detailed explanation on the panel.

Enhanced term awareness

[Original function: When touching an item, it can detect whether the item has any special attributes, and the grade of those attributes.]

[Enhanced: Perception range expanded; direct contact is no longer required; it is possible to detect whether an item has a specific attribute and grade at close range (within three feet).]

No need to touch it anymore.

It can be sensed within three feet.

Li Yuan reached into the storage bag and, with a thought, sensed the items inside.

The information about the items in the storage bag is much clearer than before. Items that previously required touching to detect can now be vaguely sensed even through the space of the storage bag—items with entries emit a very faint, special fluctuation, unlike ordinary items.

Although the perception through the storage bag is not as clear as the perception within three feet, it can at least roughly determine which items have entries and which do not.

In the future, when browsing stalls or attending trade fairs, you won't need to touch every single item. You'll naturally be able to identify what's worth paying attention to by getting closer.

Li Yuan put the panel away and stood up.

The conditions for the two blue entries to become permanent have been met. Breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage and Soul Light Tempering—one became permanent during Foundation Establishment, and the other just became permanent.

New features unlocked.

Enhanced term awareness.
