Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Inside the stone house, a talisman brush hangs in mid-air, its tip dipped in icy blue spiritual ink.

There was no finger touching the pen, and no visible force supporting it.

An invisible thread formed from divine soul power coiled around the middle of the pen, precisely controlling the angle and force of each stroke.

As the brush touches the paper, the ink spreads out along the predetermined lines and patterns.

This is a second-tier spirit water talisman.

The fifth line is dedicated to talisman making.

The brushstrokes traced a smooth arc on the talisman paper, pausing slightly at two overlapping spirit-gathering nodes, reducing the pressure of the spirit ink by three points, before sliding out the next section of the pattern.

The entire process was extremely smooth.

The high-quality Tier 2 talisman paper purchased at the trade fair had an excellent feel, and the spiritual ink permeated evenly with almost no bleeding. Combined with the precision of the master-level Divine Soul Manipulation Technique, every turn of the talisman brush landed precisely where it should.

Fifteen minutes later, the final stroke was completed.

The spiritual patterns on the talisman closed perfectly, and the icy blue light flashed and then disappeared.

It became.

Li Yuan picked up the spirit water talisman and placed it in the wooden box on the corner of the table. Inside the box was already a thick stack of talismans: spirit water talismans, Vajra talismans, rejuvenating talismans, heart-locking talismans, and many other kinds.

He had been practicing and making talismans at the same time for several days.

At first, the fifth line of consciousness branched out to draw talismans, occasionally causing rhythmic fluctuations when the main line cultivated the body-refining technique. However, as the number of practices increased, the coordination between the five lines became more and more tacit, and the interference between them decreased to an almost imperceptible level.

The rate of wasted runes is also visibly decreasing.

Li Yuan put away the talisman brush, withdrew his divine soul power from the fifth line, and briefly allowed all five lines to return to their positions and rest for a moment.

He then got up and walked out of the stone house.

The main street of the market was bustling with people in the afternoon.

Li Yuan walked half a street along the trading area and stopped in front of a stall run by a freelance cultivator.

Several bamboo slips and miscellaneous talisman-making materials were displayed on the stall. Li Yuan picked up one of the bamboo slips, which was inscribed with the method for making the Golden Sword Talisman, and scanned it with his divine sense.

First-order talisman.

The metal-elemental spirit pattern is offensive. The method of making it is not complicated. Judging from his mastery of the first-tier talisman-making technique, the direction of the pattern and the layout of the nodes are extremely intuitive.

How many bamboo slips are there?

"Twenty spirit stones." The stall owner, a young rogue cultivator, glanced up at him and quickly added, "If Mr. Li wants them, fifteen will do."

Li Yuan tossed down the spirit stone, put the bamboo slip into his sleeve, and turned back to the stone house.

He took out a first-tier talisman and laid it on the table. He then activated his Divine Soul Manipulation Technique, picked up the talisman brush, and dipped it into a spiritual ink with a faint golden luster.

The spiritual pattern structure of the Golden Sword Talisman unfolded in his mind.

With a stroke of the brush, less than thirty breaths later, the final stroke brought the work to a close.

The golden spiritual patterns on the talisman suddenly lit up, then the light subsided, and a golden sword talisman took shape.

The panel pops up simultaneously.

[Golden Sword Talisman: Minor Success]

With his second-tier minor success in talisman-making, Li Yuan achieved minor success in just one drawing.

Li Yuan glanced at the permanent requirements. Killing ten level 1 or higher monsters using metal-type magic requires equipping the item before progress can begin.

Keep the Golden Sword Talisman for now, we'll deal with it later when there's a suitable slot. There's no rush to make it permanent; there are plenty of opportunities to kill monsters with gold-based spells during daily clearing and patrols, so it should be completed quickly after equipping it.

Li Yuan put the golden sword talisman into his storage bag.

The next morning, Li Yuan left the stone house and went straight to the large shop in the center of the main street of the market.

This is the largest of his properties, with a wide storefront and an excellent location, easily visible to any passing cultivator.

He asked his assistant to bring him a smooth, polished bluestone slab, and then wrote a few lines on it.

The announcement was very brief.

We can accept orders to refine Shangyuan Pills.

The Shangyuan Pill is a second-tier, high-grade Foundation Establishment auxiliary pill. The client must gather the main ingredients themselves. The main ingredients are as follows: one Jade Marrow Ganoderma lucidum over 300 years old, three second-tier, high-grade Condensing Mist Grasses, and two second-tier, high-grade Earth Spirit Fruits. The auxiliary ingredients will be provided by Li Yuan himself; specific costs will be discussed in person.

Those interested can register inside the shop.

The announcement made no mention of the recipe itself, only listing the ingredients. Based solely on this list, no alchemist could possibly deduce the complete refining process.

The stone slab was erected in the most conspicuous position at the entrance of the shop.

The news spread extremely quickly.

In less than an hour, the first group of people poured into the shop.

"Master Li, is Shangyuan Pill a type of Foundation Establishment Pill?" A cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment squeezed to the front of the counter and asked in a low voice.

Li Yuan nodded.

The cultivator's eyes immediately lit up.

Nowadays, some people in the market have openly put up signs to accept orders for crafting pills, which means that as long as you can gather the materials, you have a chance to get a real Foundation Establishment aid pill.

In just one morning, more than thirty cultivators arrived.

It was expected that no one could gather all the main ingredients.

There isn't a second Jade Marrow Ganoderma that's over 300 years old in the entire market. Second-grade high-quality Condensing Mist Grass and Earth Spirit Fruit are also extremely rare; most cultivators only have one or two mid-to-low-grade auxiliary materials.

But it wasn't all for naught.

A cultivator from a family who fled from northern Yunzhou provided a clue about the Mist-Gathering Grass, saying that he had seen a spiritual plant resembling Mist-Gathering Grass on the outskirts of an abandoned cultivation family's medicinal garden, but he did not dare to go deeper at the time.

Another independent cultivator revealed that traces of the Earth Spirit Fruit had been discovered near a certain wild spiritual vein in southern Liangzhou.

Several other people, although they did not have the main medicine themselves, expressed their willingness to help inquire about it, on the condition that they would be given priority in ordering the order in the future.

Li Yuan noted down all these clues and connections.

The purpose of hanging up the sign for Shangyuan Pills wasn't just to wait for people to come and deliver the materials. The bigger purpose of this sign was to attract cultivators who held clues about rare resources but couldn't find a way out, thus forming an intelligence network centered around Shangyuan Pills.

If you cast your net wide enough, you'll eventually gather all the materials.

Moreover, Sun Tong has a 320-year-old jade marrow mushroom waiting for him to retrieve.

As evening approached, the crowd of people registering gradually dispersed. Li Yuan instructed his assistant to carefully collect the registration book and lock it in a hidden compartment under the counter. He then walked out of the shop and headed back along the main street.

Back in the stone house, the five lines of divine consciousness spread out once more.

The only sounds in the stone house were the crackling of the alchemical fire and the rustling of the talisman brush on paper.
