Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

"Cultivation: I Can Solidify Equipment Attributes" is causing a reading frenzy on Cola Novels. Haven't you read it yet?

It was very quiet inside the stone house.

Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the futon, having already completed several cycles of the cosmic orbit.

Although high-grade spirit stones are only temporary equipment, do not occupy equipment slots, and do not take effect immediately, the permanentization progress of the blue attribute in the panel continues to advance with each use of energy.

Halfway through his cultivation, Li Yuan suddenly opened his eyes. He did not project his divine sense outward, but his mind had already sunk down along the large spiritual vein.

Several auras appeared within the spiritual vein's range, which were the locations of the previous branch veins.

The flow of underground spiritual energy unfolded in my perception; the main vein, branches, old faults, and hidden loops were all clearly visible.

That's why Li Yuan noticed those foreign auras as soon as they approached.

More than one person.

Li Yuan followed the auras downwards, his brows furrowing slightly.

The group did not sit together, but rather staggered one after the other.

The person at the front was in charge of scouting the way. He walked slowly and was obviously carrying something like a spirit detector. He checked the stone layers with each step to make sure there were no obvious abnormalities before continuing forward.

The two behind them deliberately kept a distance, one watching the side and the other staying behind to cut off the tail, even suppressing the fluctuations of spiritual energy.

Their goal is also very clear.

Instead of exploring the outer layers, we continue to venture deeper.

Li Yuan remained seated in the stone house, noting down the number of people and their route.

The three demonic cultivators were still walking inside.

Step by step, they headed straight for the convergence zone of the trap formation.

Li Yuan did not notify anyone, nor did he intend to go there in person; instead, he continued to practice his internal energy.

The spiritual energy in the stone house flowed slowly along the meridians, and the spiritual power in the dantian remained clear and stable.

With the large spiritual vein listed in the special equipment slot, automatic cultivation and spiritual energy recovery have never stopped. Now, with the accumulation of day and night over this period, although the blue attribute corresponding to the high-grade spirit stone has not yet become truly permanent, its progress is already quietly piling up.

After one cycle of the sun's cycle ended, Li Yuan got up and headed to the southern mine.

The atmosphere in the mine tunnels was subdued yet orderly.

Upon reaching the center of the natural cavity, the Qi-nurturing array was still slowly operating. The spiritual patterns on several array nodes were more restrained than before, without the sluggishness that required constant manual reinforcement and adjustment that had existed recently. The array guided the flow of Qi from deep within the mine, its inflow and outflow perfectly integrated.

Li Yuan closed his eyes and sensed for a moment.

The changes in the vein are clearer than before.

The deepest main circulation routes have stabilized, and the mid-grade evil stones are no longer just occasionally forming one or two pieces, but have begun to be produced slowly according to the rhythm of the ore vein itself.

The evil materials, demonic beast energy, and external resources introduced by the nurturing formation, after circulating through the mine, can be received by the mine itself and then returned.

This is different from before.

Previously, they would pour resources into it and forcefully push through using the Pei Sha Formation.

Once the formation stops, the output of the ore vein will decrease, and many changes are only caused by external forces. But now it's different; the ore vein itself has already been crossed. Even without new high-grade evil materials being added immediately, the existing loops and the absorption and output of the evil cultivation formation can maintain this cycle on its own.

Li Yuan stood still, observed for a few moments, and for the first time, a very clear judgment arose in his mind.

This mine has moved from the investment phase to the return phase.

Li Yuan did not linger in the mine tunnel. He collected a portion of the newly formed mid-grade evil stones, checked the main patterns and array eyes of the evil cultivation array again, and confirmed that the array had not deviated before returning to the market.

The market was even more bustling than in the previous days.

As soon as they entered the outer street, Li Yuan noticed that there were even more people.

The shops that were originally empty on both sides of the main street have now been temporarily rented out, with shops selling pills, magical artifacts, and materials all crammed together.

There were even more people registering at the entrance and exit, many of whom were unfamiliar faces, dressed slightly differently from the local cultivators of Liangzhou, and spoke with a more diverse range of accents.

Most of them came from the direction of Yunzhou.

The battle between the Qishui Sect and the Shamo Sect is escalating, leading to a large outflow of cultivators. Previously, only the Yunyang Market had appeared, but now their own Wulin Market has also sprung up.

Li Yuan didn't look around the street for long and went straight to the management office.

There have been quite a few miscellaneous matters in the market these past few days. There's registration at the entrances and exits, temporary accommodation for visiting monks, disputes between shops, patrol schedules, and a few minor conflicts arising from disagreements over sales deals—all of which require someone to handle.

After Li Yuan sat down, he first flipped through the newly recorded pages of the album.

Among the cultivators from Yunzhou, some rented temporary courtyards, some only stayed for two or three days, and some even deposited half a month's worth of spirit stones, clearly intending to stay longer. Several small businesses also moved over with the flow of people, hoping to establish a foothold in the bustling market.

These are all everyday occurrences.

After finishing his work, Li Yuan returned to the stone house and casually took out the equipment corresponding to the Body Refining Pill he had obtained earlier. As soon as the item entered within three feet of him, the control panel popped up completely.

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Body Strengthening through Alchemy (Green)]

[Effect: Body-refining pills will not leave impurities in the body, increasing physical strength by up to 30%, with the increase depending on the number of pills consumed.]

[Preview of Permanentization Conditions: Achieve perfection in one second-tier body-refining technique (0/1)]

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

Li Yuan casually removed the entry for the fellow practitioner of the periosteum.

After equipping it, continue your training.

Li Yuan didn't think too much about it and began to regulate his breathing after putting away the panel.

As night fell completely, the activity on the spiritual vein finally changed.

Li Yuan's heart sank as he immediately saw that the three demonic cultivators who had penetrated deep into the branch had already entered the true convergence zone of the trap formation.

The person at the front was still testing the stone wall and the winding path, clearly unaware that the spiritual energy node he was standing on was different from when he first entered.

The formation was activated on its own the next moment.

It wasn't a sudden, explosive attack, but rather several array patterns that were originally hidden in the stone layers and remnants of old restrictions lit up simultaneously. Several spiritual energy circuits on the inner side of the branch instantly converged, first cutting off the retreat route, and then trapping the entire area where the three were active inside.

The three demonic cultivators reacted extremely quickly.

Some immediately retreated, some raised their hands and unleashed demonic light in an attempt to forcefully blast open the side wall, while others immediately took out magical artifacts to protect themselves. However, the Yuan Yang Sect's formation was waiting for them to step in. The outer channeling and inner constriction were already tightly connected. The moment the three moved, they stirred up all the spiritual energy fluctuations that were originally suppressed within the formation.

Sure enough, news spread rapidly from the outpost soon after. First, patrolling cultivators were running back and forth, and then an official transfer order was issued directly from the market area.

Chen Yi urgently mobilized manpower and rushed to the branch.

Li Yuan also received a transfer order, though it was not a mandatory one given his status as a Dharma Protector.

When Li Yuan received the transfer order, his face showed no unusual expression. He simply got up and left, just like the other cultivators who were being transferred.
