Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

After returning from the depths of the Ghost Mist Forest, Li Yuan first sorted out the affairs of the market town.

Outposts, shops, supplies, and manpower mobilization—all of these had to pass through his eyes.

After sorting through them, Li Yuan closed the stone house door and took out all the fragments of divine souls he had obtained.

These things are incomplete.

Some of these were found in the storeroom next to the alchemy area, used to record short notes on controlling fire with one's divine sense and distributing medicine during alchemy. Some contained records of how to gather and compress the divine soul when it was projected outwards. The content was scattered and unsystematic, but when viewed together, it was enough to fill in many details.

Li Yuan didn't do a lengthy analysis of each point; he only extracted the parts that were useful for the Soul Condensation Technique.

Which section discusses the gathering of consciousness?

Which section discusses differentiation control?

Which section discusses how to stabilize one's consciousness after a shock to the soul?

Only after clarifying things can one truly begin cultivation.

When the Soul Condensation Technique is activated, the first thing to change in the sea of ​​consciousness is not the quantity, but the form.

Originally, the outward-flowing divine sense resembled a vast expanse of water, but now, through repeated cycles, it is gradually being drawn in tighter. After drawing in, it is released again, and after releasing, it is drawn in again, repeating this process time and time again. At the end of each cycle, the divine soul power deep within the sea of ​​consciousness becomes a little more condensed than before.

This kind of cultivation is the most mentally taxing and requires the most foundation.

Fortunately, Li Yuan has always been good at this.

As time went by, the changes in his soul became clearer and clearer.

Previously, when he extended his divine sense to probe the area, he would feel a slight swelling upon retracting it. Now, with the same range and precision, the process of extending and retracting was much smoother. Looking at the fragments of divine souls again, many parts that he could only vaguely understand before were gradually becoming easier to grasp.

The panel popped up at this point.

【Cultivation Technique: Soul Condensation Technique - Great Success (0/3200)】

Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes, but did not get up immediately. Instead, he released his divine sense and scanned the inside and outside of the stone house.

The range hasn't increased outrageously, but the texture is completely different.

If the divine sense before was like a spread-out net, now it's more like a thin, evenly pressed blade. When it sweeps across the stone wall, it can feel the subtle differences in the texture within the stone layers. When it lands on the jade slips on the table, even the flow of residual spiritual energy within them becomes clearer. If truly used to break restrictions and identify formations, its value will only be higher than before.

More importantly, it is resistant to shocks.

Li Yuan closed his eyes and tried to let his divine sense vibrate on its own. His sea of ​​consciousness only fluctuated slightly, much more stable than before. If he were to encounter an impact or backlash from the soul again, the probability of suffering losses would naturally be much smaller.

Just as the task was completed, another notification popped up on the panel.

The conditions for permanent invisibility masking (white) have been met.

[Achieving mastery in a spiritual cultivation technique (1/1)]

Is it permanent?

Li Yuan confirmed without hesitation.

[Invisibility (white) has become a permanent entry]

A very light coolness spread from between my eyebrows, and then quickly subsided.

Li Yuan stood up and tried to activate the newly permanent white inscription. The next moment, he was still standing in the same spot, but his presence was noticeably weaker. If one didn't use spiritual power and divine sense to examine him closely, one would subconsciously overlook the location where he was standing.

After resolving this matter, Li Yuan resumed his daily cultivation routine.

He focused on the Soul Condensation Technique as his main attack method, while also continuing with the Green Wood Longevity Technique

This wood-attribute cultivation method is inherently slow, unlike fire-based methods and body refinement which have direct effects. However, it is the most time-consuming and requires patience. During this period, after each time he finished practicing the Soul Condensation Technique, he would set aside some time to circulate the Azure Wood Longevity Technique, allowing the gentle wood spirit to slowly travel through his meridians and internal organs.

Over time, progress, though not dramatic, has been made steadily.

The market area is even more lively than it was a few days ago.

Once the reputation of the frontline supply depot was established, many merchants began to flock to it.

Several shops that were previously hesitant have now been rented out. The four main lines of business on the main street—pharmaceuticals, talismans, magical artifact repair, and the buying and selling of monster materials—are becoming increasingly established, and even the residential areas for independent cultivators on the edge of the market are much denser than before.

With more people, it's naturally easier for things with keywords to pop up.

That afternoon, Li Yuan was patrolling the main street as usual when he paused slightly as he passed a newly opened pharmacy.

The shop was small, and the shelves were mostly filled with common pills and a few kinds of spiritual liquids.

As the entry sensor scanned the area, a small bluish-white bottle in the corner of the counter emitted a faint white light.

Li Yuan walked over and bought it for ten spirit stones.

After making the purchase, a touch of the palm brought up the control panel.

[Equipable item detected: Spirit Nourishing Elixir (Complete)]

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Divine Elixir Transformation (White)]

[Effect: Enhances the nourishing effect of the medicine on the spirit and soul]

[Preview of Permanentization Conditions: Achieving Mastery of a Divine Soul Cultivation Technique (1/1)]

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

Li Yuan removed one of the attributes and made it permanent.

The phrase "miracle drug (white)" has become a permanent entry.

Immediately afterwards, another new panel notification popped up.

[Mergeable terms detected]

【Spiritual Elixir Transformation (Green)】

【Bone Marrow Tempering (White)】

[Divine Medicine Transformation (White)]

[Mergeable terms detected]

【Spiritual Elixir Transformation (Green)】

【Bone Marrow Tempering (White)】

[Divine Medicine Transformation (White)]

[Should we merge?]

Li Yuan's expression shifted slightly as he looked at the three prompts.

The spiritual liquid enhances the amplification effect of medicine on spiritual power, the bone marrow tempering strengthens the effect of medicine on body refining techniques, and now we add another effect to enhance the nourishment of the soul by medicine. These three lines correspond perfectly to spiritual power, physical body, and soul.

Without much thought, he confirmed it immediately.

The panel vibrated slightly.

【Successful integration】

[Obtained the green integration term: Drug Element Integration]

[Effect: The medicine comprehensively enhances the nourishing and promoting effects on spiritual power, physical body, and soul. The enhancement is 50%]

The previously dispersed effects of the medicine in three directions have been completely combined into one, and the increase has reached 50%.

This entry came at just the right time.
