Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

After settling matters at his post, Li Yuan turned his attention to alchemy.

There are two pill formulas in the storage bag: Qi Condensation Pill and Yuan Cultivation Pill. The materials were already prepared during the last purchase.

Li Yuan moved the alchemy furnace into his stone house and sorted out the alchemy materials.

Let's start with the formula for the Qi Condensation Pill.

A first-grade, mid-level elixir requires three main ingredients and five auxiliary ingredients, necessitating three adjustments to the heat and two infusions of spiritual energy. The steps of the formula are not complicated, but the precise control of the heat is crucial; even a slight deviation can cause the medicinal properties to deviate.

Li Yuan put the main and auxiliary ingredients into the alchemy furnace in order, and used his spiritual power to start the furnace fire.

The alchemy experience after Foundation Establishment is completely different from that during the Qi Refining stage.

The biggest change is in the divine consciousness.

During the Qi Refining stage of alchemy, one's divine sense can only perceive the general temperature distribution inside the furnace and the overall state of the medicinal liquid; the details are unclear.

It's like looking at something through frosted glass. You know what's happening inside, but when it comes to the specific dissolution progress of each medicinal herb, the fusion points of the medicinal properties, and the distribution of impurities, you have to guess based on experience and intuition.

The liquid spiritual energy after Foundation Establishment raised the precision of divine sense to a new level.

As divine sense flowed into the alchemy furnace, every detail of the medicinal liquid became clearly visible.

Adjusting the heat has also changed from relying on intuition to precise control. Whether the temperature is too high or too low no longer needs to be judged by the color of the medicinal liquid; one's divine sense can directly perceive the temperature distribution in every area of ​​the inner wall of the alchemy furnace.

After several adjustments to the heat, the medicinal liquid completely condensed into a pill.

Li Yuan opened the stove lid, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out.

At the bottom of the furnace lay a round pill, its surface gleaming with a pale golden luster, and its patterns clear and even.

The Qi Condensation Pill has been successfully made.

Li Yuan took out the Qi Condensation Pill and placed his finger on it.

The panel popped up.

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Mastery (White) - When practicing spells or cultivation techniques, there is a 10% chance to trigger the Mastery effect. The proficiency of the spell and spells or cultivation techniques with similar principles will increase. The greater the similarity, the greater the increase.]

[Preview of Permanentization Conditions: Accumulate mastery of ten spells to the beginner level (10/10)]

White entry. Thorough understanding and application.

There is a 10% chance of triggering this when practicing spells. Once triggered, not only will the proficiency of the current spell increase, but similar spells will also increase at the same time.

The condition for permanent status is to accumulate ten spells and reach the entry level.

I have practiced more than twenty introductory techniques in total, far exceeding ten.

The conditions were met on the spot.

[Permanentization successful]

The phrase "integration and mastery (white)" has become a permanent entry.

The Qi Condensation Pill transformed into white light in the palm of the hand and entered the body, whereupon it became permanent.

Next, we will refine the Qi-Nourishing Pill.

The Peiyuan Pill is a mid-grade first-tier pill, simpler to make than the Ningqi Pill. It contains two main ingredients, three auxiliary ingredients, and requires two adjustments to the heat.

Having gained experience from refining the Qi Condensation Pill, the refining of the Qi Cultivation Pill went even more smoothly. From adding the ingredients to forming the pill, the entire process was completed in one go, without any mistakes.

The furnace lid was opened, and a pale green pill lay at the bottom of the furnace.

[Peiyuan Dan: Beginner (0/200)]

Li Yuan took out the Peiyuan Pill and placed his finger on it.

[Equipable item detected: Vitality Pill (Complete)]

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Sufficient Health (White) - Increases maximum health by 20%]

[Preview of Permanentization Conditions: Total HP comparable to a Tier 1 High-Grade Monster]

White label. Sufficient Qi and Blood.

The maximum amount of Qi and Blood increases by 20%.

The condition for permanent status is that the total amount of Qi and Blood is comparable to that of a first-tier high-grade demon beast.

Li Yuan's cultivation reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and he perfected the Iron Wall Body Refinement Technique. In addition, the long-term tempering of his body with evil energy through the Unification of Evil Essence, the transformation of his physical body by eating demonic beast meat to nourish his body with Flame Marrow, and the blood and qi restoration and nourishment effects of the Blood River all enhanced the transformation of his body by demonic energy.

Its total blood and qi have long surpassed the level of a first-tier high-grade demon beast; it's just unknown whether it has reached the Foundation Establishment level.

The conditions are met.

[Permanentization successful]

[Sufficient Qi and Blood (White) has become a permanent entry]

Two pills, two entries, all made permanent.

A prompt then popped up on the panel.

[A combination of terms that can be merged was detected]

[Sufficient Qi and Blood (White) + Nourishing Qi and Blood (Gray)]

Fusion.

[Integration Complete]

[Entry for Fusion: Vigorous Qi and Blood (White)]

【Vigorous Qi and Blood (White) - Increases maximum Qi and Blood by 30%, and increases Qi and Blood recovery speed by 20%; when Qi and Blood are at their peak, increases spiritual energy recovery speed by 20%, and increases the amplification of Qi and Blood to the body by 10%】

The two Qi and Blood related attributes have been merged, and their effects are now stacked and upgraded. The maximum Qi and Blood cap has been increased from 20% to 30%.

Li Yuan cleaned the alchemy furnace thoroughly and used the remaining materials to refine several more batches of pills.

By the sixth batch, the feel had changed.

The entire process of alchemy has been transformed from a series of steps into a coherent sequence of actions. Adding medicine, controlling the fire, infusing spiritual energy, adjusting the temperature, and condensing the elixir—each step is seamlessly connected to the next, eliminating the need to pause and think about the next step.

The panel popped up.

[Skill: First-tier Alchemy - Proficient (0/400)]

Li Yuan carefully put away the alchemy furnace and sorted the refined pills into his storage bag.

The materials are almost used up, and we need to go to the market to purchase another batch.

The next morning, Li Yuan flew to Yunyangfang City.

They landed outside the South Gate and walked into the city.

The flow of people on the main street was about the same as usual. Li Yuan first went to the materials store to replenish his alchemy and talisman-making materials, and then went to the spirit herb shop to buy a few spirit herbs needed for the pill formula.

As I left the herb shop, I passed a teahouse and heard the voices of several wandering cultivators chatting inside.

"...Have you heard about the new gathering place for rogue cultivators that's appeared in Ghost Mist Forest?"

"I've heard about it. A Foundation Establishment cultivator runs it there. The accommodation fee is only one spirit stone for two months. The main advantage is its proximity; Lingxi Valley is nearby. After hunting demonic beasts, you can go back and replenish your supplies."

"It's cheap, but that place is deep in the Ghost Mist Forest, with such heavy malevolent energy, who would dare to stay there?"

"It's said that the evil energy has been almost completely absorbed by that Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the concentration of evil energy nearby is even lower than in the outer areas. There's also a spirit-gathering array, so the concentration of spiritual energy is no worse than in the market."

"Really?"

"I heard it from the people in the mine. A few independent cultivators who worked in the mine moved there and said the conditions were indeed quite good. Except for the slight malevolent aura."

After discussing it for a while, the group of independent cultivators changed the subject.

Li Yuan walked past the tea shop without stopping.

News of the gathering place has already reached the market, but most independent cultivators are still observing. Their main concern is safety; Ghost Mist Forest has a bad reputation, with many demonic beasts and heavy malevolent energy, so most independent cultivators don't dare to stay in such a place for long.

However, people are already discussing it, which means its reputation is slowly spreading. As more and more independent cultivators live there and its reputation grows, the number of people willing to go will naturally increase.

After Li Yuan finished purchasing the supplies, he returned to his post.

Continue your cultivation in the days to come.

After practicing for several days, the rhythm of the Soul Condensation Technique changed again.

The compression and expansion of the soul changed from semi-automatic to fully automatic. There was no longer a need to fine-tune the direction at key points; the entire forging process was driven entirely by the inertia of the technique itself, and Li Yuan only needed to provide spiritual power and baleful energy as the energy source.

The panel popped up.

【Cultivation Technique: Soul Condensation Technique - Mastery (0/800)】

The Soul Condensation Technique has reached mastery.

The efficiency of forging the soul has reached a new level. Each compression and expansion is greater than in the proficiency stage, resulting in a more significant strengthening effect on the soul.

The mastery of the Soul Condensation Technique also brings an additional effect: the precision of soul control is greatly improved, and the range and clarity of divine sense perception have perceptibly increased. Combined with the enhancements of spiritual clarity and soul light tempering, Li Yuan's soul system has reached a level extremely rare among early Foundation Establishment cultivators.
