Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

The next morning, Li Yuan went to the outpost.

Nowadays, the development of the ruins has become the most important line of the sect in Ghost Mist Forest. More and more people are working on the ruins, and the flow of contributions is faster than before.

Li Yuan has accumulated a large amount of contributions by participating in breaking through formations, clearing out strongholds, and assisting in the dismantling of the outer seal of the ruins in the recent period.

Li Yuan redeemed two items this time.

Bone-Refining Elixir.

Basic talismanic tradition.

After obtaining the two items, Li Yuan first rummaged through the outpost.

Bone-Refining Elixir is used for body refining. The elixir is grayish-white and has a very faint medicinal smell when opened. It is specifically designed to be used in conjunction with bone-refining techniques.

The basic talismanic tradition is the most practical, containing a very well-organized set of information, from talisman ink, talisman paper, and the structure of spiritual patterns to the common strokes and patterns of talismans.

It's even more detailed than what's taught in the Wang Family's talisman hall, and the level is also higher.

Li Yuan currently relies more on his existing foundation and talismans to build up his skills in the mid-to-high-grade first tier. Now that he has obtained this item, it is equivalent to filling in the gaps in his basic skills.

……

Inside the stone house, Li Yuan evenly applied the Bone Refining Ointment to several key areas on his arms, back, chest, and abdomen. As soon as the ointment touched his body, a slow, sinking medicinal power penetrated it, not strong, but very steady, specifically targeting the outer layer of bones.

Li Yuan then activated the magic method.

The method of this nameless body-refining technique remains the same as before: not a sudden rush, but a gradual grinding process. Spiritual energy is brushed along the outer layer of the bones again and again, pressing the medicinal power in little by little, and then letting the bones slowly absorb it on their own.

There were no fancy changes during the process, only increasingly noticeable soreness and heat deep in the bones.

When Li Yuan finished circulating the energy once and stopped, a thin layer of sweat had formed on his back.

The Bone-Refining Ointment is quite effective.

At least the first time, it was much smoother than when I relied solely on spiritual energy to grind it out. The sluggishness on the outer layer of my bones lessened, and even the connection between the techniques was more stable.

Next, Li Yuan laid out the basic talismanic inheritance and began to look at it little by little.

Looking back at these fundamentals now, many things that I already knew how to use have become clearer in my understanding.

Why can't the first two strokes of some talismans be broken?

Why does the same water-drawing pattern appear in different lengths when it falls on different talismans?

Why is it that if the starting stroke of a certain spiritual pattern is slightly off, the flow of spiritual energy in the entire talisman will become unstable?

These things are not difficult to take apart individually, but once the system is sorted out, connecting them to other parts will be much faster.

After reviewing the talismanic teachings, Li Yuan didn't waste time thinking and immediately began to put them into practice.

On the talisman-making table, sheets of talisman paper were laid out one by one.

By evening, when Li Yuan drew the spirit water talisman again, his brushstrokes had become noticeably steady. The ink flowed smoothly across the paper, and the spirit patterns connected much more seamlessly than before.

Several days later, the panel finally gave a slight jolt.

[Talisman: Spirit Water Talisman - Proficient (0/800)]

He had mastered the Spirit Water Talisman.

I could draw this second-tier low-grade talisman before, but I was always a little unstable. Now, thanks to the system's guidance and continuous practice, I've finally taken a significant step forward.

The enhancement of the Spirit Water Talisman affects more than just this one talisman.

Li Yuan drew several more second-tier talismans, and his grasp of the direction of the spiritual patterns and the landing point of the spiritual power became clearer than before.

Not long after, another notification popped up.

[Skill: Second-tier Runecrafting - Proficient (0/800)]

The second-order talisman-making technique has officially reached mastery.

Li Yuan put down his talisman brush, glanced at the few talismans that had just been made on the table, and without any extra expression, simply put them away neatly.

Over the next two weeks, Li Yuan's life stabilized again.

Fall in love with reading, starting with Cola Novels.

During the day, people go about their daily routines, visiting both the market and the historical sites.

When I have free time, I practice the Nameless Body Refining Technique, grinding it down little by little with the Bone Refining Elixir.

In the evenings, I would study the talismanic tradition or draw a few spirit water talismans, further solidifying my newly acquired second-tier talisman-making skills.

This pace wasn't easy, but with the support of the spiritual veins, the spiritual energy within the body remained well maintained. Many recovery processes that originally required dedicated time were now quietly filled by automatic cultivation and automatic spiritual regeneration.

With several lines of training progressing simultaneously, Li Yuan found himself getting better and better at it.

A few days later, Li Yuan left the market and once again ventured alone into the Ghost Mist Forest.

The purpose of this trip is to continue searching for resources to support the mineral vein.

The Fiend Mine already has several medium-grade Fiend Stones, and the entire vein is moving upwards, but it's still one step away from truly reaching the point where it can produce medium-grade Fiend Stones.

Li Yuan walked deeper into the Ghost Mist Forest, simultaneously unleashing his divine sense and perception of malevolent energy.

He did not encounter any new evil demons along the way.

The forest still harbored the aura of demonic beasts, and in some places, the malevolent energy was heavy, but there were no strong traces of the second-tier malevolent demons that had occupied the area before.

Li Yuan did not stop because of this.

I can now identify malevolent energy more accurately than before. As long as the item is still there, I don't necessarily need to encounter a malevolent spirit to gain anything.

Behind a low stone slope ahead, there was an ominous aura.

It's not a dispersing evil spirit that simply emerges from the ground, but rather a scent that slowly seeps out from a pile of high-quality evil spirit materials. The quantity isn't particularly large, but it's very concentrated.

Li Yuan quietly circled around and glanced at the edge of the stone slope.

Behind it was a den of monsters.

The place wasn't deep, but it looked like something had dug it open, revealing several broken animal bones and clumps of blackened old flesh scattered inside. The most conspicuous items in the den were several kinds of deadly firewood.

A piece of evil bone.

Two clumps of hardened, mushy flesh.

There were also several pieces of dark, ominous gravel, clearly not ordinary stones.

Li Yuan glanced at them and immediately formed a judgment in his mind.

Most of these things are related to the second-tier demon he killed earlier.

That creature dwells deep within, and its range of activity is already quite large. The high-quality evil materials in this monster's lair are likely things it collected beforehand, or perhaps simply leftovers piled up here after it ate them.

Now that it is dead, these things remain.

Without delay, Li Yuan first scanned the surrounding area to confirm that there were no other demonic beasts lying in ambush, and then began to collect them.

There aren't many things in the nest, but the quality is all good.

Especially those few pebbles, although they are not formed evil stones, they have been immersed in high concentrations of evil energy for a long time. Taking them to nourish the mineral vein will not have a bad effect.

After finishing, Li Yuan immediately returned home.

It was already late when we returned to the mine.

Within the natural cavity, the Qi-cultivating array continued to operate stably. The spiritual patterns between the array's key points had long been smoothed out, and the Qi-returning flow throughout the entire mine vein was much deeper than before.

Li Yuan took out the high-quality materials he had brought back one by one and put them into the protective array in order.

Once the last wisp of malevolent energy was drawn away by the formation, the cavity fell silent once more.

Li Yuan closed his eyes and, using the sense of malevolent energy and the connection to the existing mineral vein, probed inside. The changes immediately became clear.

The throughput of the ore vein is much faster than before.

For the next few days, Li Yuan continued to maintain the original pace.

The scene shifts back and forth between market towns, historical sites, stone houses, and mineral veins.

With the help of the Bone Refining Elixir, the Nameless Body Refining Technique has progressed steadily and has reached the entry level.
