Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

The Wood Spirit Pill is a first-tier pill, and its improvement on Li Yuan at this point is negligible. After taking ten pills in a row, the panel popped up.

The conditions for permanent drug property identification (white) have been met.

Is it permanent?

Li Yuan raised his hand to confirm.

[Pharmacological Identification (White) has become a permanent entry]

A very light coolness spread from between my eyebrows and then settled into my senses.

Li Yuan casually picked up a packet of medicinal herbs that had not yet been put into the furnace from the table, and when he examined them again, he immediately felt that they were different.

In the past, when examining medicinal herbs, we relied more on their appearance, color, and characteristics recorded in classical texts. Now, by simply holding them in our hands, many details that previously required multiple glances to determine their quality become much clearer.

This term, when applied to Daoist alchemy, is indeed quite practical.

Li Yuan carefully put away the medicinal herbs on the table, refraining from further refining them. He had consumed enough Wood Spirit Pills and obtained the necessary entries; for future refining, he would need to use something else.

Meanwhile, the handling plan for the ruins has also changed.

The deep entrance remains closed.

Some time ago, the sect and a few array masters would occasionally go over to try and see if they could dismantle the main barriers on the outer layer of the entrance faster. Now, this approach has been completely stopped.

During this period, Li Yuan continued to shuttle between the market and the historical sites.

If there's something to do in the market, stay in Wulin Market.

When he had free time, he would go to the ruins every two or three days to help break the formation.

The next day, Li Yuan and two other array cultivators cleaned the guiding array patterns together.

The location was to the left of the deep entrance, where three old loops were buried beneath the ground, covered by a half-ruined layer of concealing patterns. Others spent two quarters of an hour trying to dismantle it, but still couldn't find the exact spot where the main pattern was actually engaged.

After Li Yuan went over, he first pressed the spiritual pattern onto the surface, and then touched it little by little along the flow of spiritual energy on the ground.

A moment later, Li Yuan bent down and pressed down on an inconspicuous edge pattern.

"Don't touch the middle."

"Break off here first."

The array cultivator next to him was taken aback. He looked down again, and his expression immediately changed.

"This area actually has a zigzag pattern."

"The one in the middle is fake," Li Yuan said. "You have to break down the folds first, then the main pattern inside will be revealed."

The group followed this path and soon cleared the entire flow-guiding array.

At the same time, the first-order array in Li Yuan's mind, which had always been half a step away, also seemed to loosen.

The panel then pops up.

[Skill: First-tier Array Dao - Perfected (0/5000)]

First-order array formation, perfected.

Li Yuan stood still, trying to calm himself down from that momentary feeling.

Compared to Dacheng, the biggest change in Yuanman is not that he knows more, but that he can see the structure of many things at a glance.

Previously, it was necessary to break down the spirit runes into segments, first determining their primary and secondary importance, and then finding the key nodes.

Now, as soon as many array patterns enter one's perception, one knows where to break them, where not to touch them, and where to connect to the spiritual flow if it changes course.

Several days later, Li Yuan visited the ruins as usual.

This time, the task wasn't to deal with complex restrictions, but rather to check on several newly arrived pulse-detecting magical artifacts. These artifacts were borrowed from elsewhere, and several array cultivators were going to use them to assist in measuring the changes in spiritual flow between the outer perimeter of the ruins and the deep entrance. After they arrived, someone had to inspect them first.

When Li Yuan arrived, several magical artifacts were already laid out on the table.

When one of them saw Li Yuan arrive, he handed him a magical artifact.

"Fellow Daoist Li, could you take a look? Is the node on this thing off-center?"

It was a pulse-detecting artifact, shaped like a short staff, with a gray-white spirit crystal embedded at the top, and extremely fine flow patterns engraved on both sides of the staff.

Li Yuan could sense the white text.

As soon as Li Yuan took it, the panel popped up.

[Equipable item detected]

[Item Attribute Level: White]

[Note: Items not belonging to the user cannot be equipped, and detailed information cannot be viewed.]

"The nodes are not off," Li Yuan said. "It's just that this flow pattern is a bit weak. We can add a stabilizing pattern later."

"Are you going to replace this magical artifact or not?"

The man nodded.

"I'm not very good at this. If you need it, you can just trade me something."

Li Yuan glanced at him and nodded.

"Change."

Both of them worked at the ruins and interacted frequently, so a pulse-detecting artifact wasn't particularly expensive.

Li Yuan took a commonly used magic tool he had acquired earlier, along with a few talismans, and then exchanged it for the pulse-detecting magic tool.

This time, the artifact was his, and upon touching it again, the panel immediately popped up completely.

[Equipable item detected: Pulse-Detecting Short Staff (Complete)]

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Vein Guardian Rune (White)]

[Effect: Improves the efficiency of identifying restrictions and enables precise judgment of nodes in the flow of external spiritual energy]

[Preview of Permanentization Conditions: Completely explore the spiritual veins (0/1)]

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

White entries.

The effect wasn't exaggerated, but it worked very well.

What Li Yuan has in abundance right now is the conditions to fully explore the spiritual vein.

I already know the general structure of that large spiritual vein, and I'm familiar with the route. All I need to do is put on this equipment and walk through it again.

Li Yuan didn't delay and set off immediately after returning to the market.

Li Yuan didn't delay and set off immediately after returning to the market.

At night, Li Yuan once again entered the underground route leading to the main vein.

After traversing the key areas of the entire spiritual vein, the panel finally popped up.

[Conditions for permanent activation of the Vein Guardian Pattern (White) have been met]

Is it permanent?

Li Yuan confirmed it directly.

[The "Pulse Protection and Pattern Recognition (White)" entry has become permanent.]

A slight cool sensation swept across my eyes and between my mind and consciousness, then sank away.

Standing at the edge of the main vein, Li Yuan looked at the surrounding layers of restrictions with even greater accuracy than before. It wasn't that he saw more, but rather that many of the spiritual energy nodes were more firmly anchored. Even a single glance was enough to quickly determine where they were connected.
