Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Cola Novels - Dedicated to providing the most comfortable reading experience.

The next day, inside the stone house, a fine, deep blue alchemy furnace stood in the center, its heat dissipation patterns gleaming coldly under the lamplight.

On the table, all the medicinal materials needed for Shangyuan Dan are arranged in a row according to the order in which they are added.

He Zongming stood in the corner of the stone house, his hands behind his back, staring nervously at the alchemy furnace.

Li Yuan invited him to observe the alchemy process, firstly to allow the client to witness the use of materials firsthand, and secondly to silence any potential disputes that might arise later.

"start."

Li Yuan sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace, all five lines of his divine sense converged, no longer being allocated to any matters outside the furnace.

The spiritual vein monitoring has been removed. The peripheral early warning system has been removed. The talisman-making line has been removed.

All his energy was focused on this batch of pills.

Spiritual energy surged from his dantian, transforming into crimson alchemical flames that condensed into a stable fireball at the bottom of the furnace. The temperature of the alchemical flames was precisely controlled within an extremely narrow range, neither too high nor too low, just enough to preheat the furnace to the basic temperature required for the medicinal liquid to fuse.

The first auxiliary ingredient is added, followed by the second and third.

The fusion of the first six auxiliary ingredients was the simplest stage of the entire process. Li Yuan performed it with extreme fluidity, without any hesitation in his movements.

Half an hour later, the base solution of the auxiliary medicine was completed.

Li Yuan's expression turned slightly serious.

Next is the first main ingredient.

He reached out and picked up a condensing mist grass, gently rubbing its stem with his fingers to infuse it with spiritual energy, and then threw it into the furnace.

The medicinal liquid inside the furnace churned violently, and a chilling aura rose from the bottom liquid, colliding head-on with the heat of the alchemical fire. Li Yuan immediately separated a wisp of his spiritual energy to suppress the spread of the chill, while simultaneously raising the temperature of the alchemical fire by two points.

An hour passed.

He Zongming stood in the corner, fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead. Not from the heat, but from tension. He watched as Li Yuan never opened his eyes once, his hands resting motionless on his knees, controlling everything in the furnace entirely with his spiritual energy. This level of precision and stability in controlling the fire far surpassed any alchemist he had ever seen.

The second main ingredient is the Earth Spirit Fruit.

The two fruit pits were put into the furnace one after the other.

The reaction of the medicinal liquid was more intense than that of the Mist Grass. The Earth Spirit Fruit's medicinal properties belong to Earth, which is heavy and stable, creating a strong attribute tension with the Mist Grass's clear and cold nature.

Two hours passed.

The remaining eleven auxiliary ingredients were added one by one, and each ingredient was fully integrated with the main medicinal liquid at the precise time and temperature.

The last main ingredient.

320-year-old chalcedony fungus.

The moment the last section of the chrysanthemum root was submerged in the medicinal liquid, the color of the liquid inside the furnace underwent its final change.

A faint glow floated on the milky white liquid, like moonlight reflected on a lake. Spiritual energy formed a perfect self-circulating loop within the liquid, locking in every trace of its medicinal properties without any leakage.

The elixir is about to be completed.

Half an hour later, Li Yuan's alchemical fire suddenly contracted, changing from a disc shape into a uniform ring of fire, simultaneously pressurizing the medicinal liquid in the furnace from all directions.

"Buzz".

The alchemy furnace trembled violently, emitting a deep hum.

Li Yuan slapped the furnace lid open with his right palm.

Two round pills shot out from the furnace opening, carrying a soft white light, and landed steadily in his outstretched palm.

The medicinal fragrance is delicate and lingering, neither strong nor overpowering, yet it has a warm and comforting quality that penetrates to the very core of one's being.

The two Shangyuan Pills were milky white, with a very thin halo around their surface, their luster subtle and persistent. The thickness and uniformity of the halo indicated that the medicinal power was perfectly sealed inside the pills, without any loss.

The quality is above average.

For the first time refining a second-grade high-quality pill formula, this result is already quite outstanding.

He Zongming stared blankly from the corner. It wasn't until Li Yuan turned to look at him that he snapped out of his daze, rushed to the table, and stared intently at the two pills in Li Yuan's palm.

"Did it work?"

"Done. Two." Li Yuan handed him one of them. "This one is yours."

He Zongming took the pill with both hands, examining it closely in his palms, his smile widening. He carefully placed the pill into a jade bottle close to his body, sealed it tightly, and tucked it into his robes.

"Thank you very much, Master Li." He Zongming bowed deeply.

Li Yuan nodded and saw him out of the stone house.

The doors and windows were resealed.

Li Yuan returned to the table and held up the remaining Shangyuan Pill in his palm.

The moment the fingertip touched the surface of the pill, a panel popped up.

[Equipable item detected: Shangyuan Pill (Complete)]

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Foundation Building and Stabilization (Blue)]

[Effect: When breaking through a realm, the stability of the dantian barrier is greatly improved; the risk of meridian damage due to a failed breakthrough is reduced by 50%; the maximum spiritual power is increased by 20%]

[Preview of conditions for permanentization: The total spiritual power during the Foundation Establishment stage reaches the late-stage limit]

Blue entries.

Li Yuan looked at the effect description.

The stability of the dantian barrier has been greatly improved, the risk of meridian damage from failed breakthroughs has been reduced by 50%, and the upper limit of spiritual power has been increased by 20%.

Each one directly serves the subsequent Core Formation stage.

The condition for permanent attainment is that the total amount of spiritual energy reaches the limit of the late Foundation Establishment stage. His current spiritual energy saturation is already extremely close to this limit, and the daily increase in cultivation is getting smaller and smaller. He is only one step away from reaching the ceiling.

Li Yuan brought up his equipment inventory and unequipped the Hidden Vein Concealment skill.

"equipment."

[Equipped: Shangyuan Pill (Complete)]

[Foundation Building and Vitality Strengthening (Blue) is in effect]

The moment the entry took effect, an extremely subtle tremor came from deep within the dantian.

The dantian barrier, which had been taut at its limit, expanded outwards as if injected with an invisible force. The dantian's capacity suddenly increased, and the spiritual energy, which had been nearly saturated, began to flow again within the expanded dantian, instantly reducing the feeling of saturation by more than half.

The increase of 20% in his spiritual power limit means that he still has considerable room for cultivation.

Li Yuan closed his eyes, sensing the changes within his dantian. The barrier was thicker and more condensed than before, and the smoothness of his spiritual energy flowing within it had subtly improved.

Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the futon, the resonance channel of the Spirit Vein Affinity Technique wide open. The rich spiritual energy in the underground spiritual veins was continuously drawn up, passing through rocks and soil, surging into the stone house, and flowing into his meridians.

After the spiritual energy enters the body, it is automatically filtered by the flawless spiritual power, and impurities are peeled away layer by layer, leaving only the purest spiritual power flowing into the dantian.

On the third night, the stone house was extremely quiet.

Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the futon and completed the last cycle of the day.

Spiritual energy surged into the dantian.

The spiritual energy within his dantian rose slightly.

Then, it stopped.

It wasn't that it was blocked by anything; rather, every inch of space inside the dantian barrier was already filled with spiritual energy. The density of spiritual energy had reached an extreme critical point, and not even a trace more could fit in.

It's like a water tank being filled to its highest rim, with the water level at the top; if even one more drop is added, it will overflow.

Li Yuan opened his eyes.

The feeling of saturation of spiritual energy in my dantian had never been so intense.

The ultimate stage of Foundation Building, also known as Foundation Building Perfection.

The total amount of spiritual energy has reached the ceiling of the Foundation Establishment stage.

The panel popped up at that moment.

The conditions for permanent Foundation Building (Blue) have been met.

[The total spiritual power during the Foundation Establishment stage has reached the late-stage limit (met)]

[Foundation Building and Vitality Strengthening (Blue) has become a permanent entry]

The phantom of the Shangyuan Pill solidified in the equipment slot for a moment before dissipating, freeing up the slot.

Li Yuan quietly sensed the changes within his body.

After the Foundation Establishment and Qi Consolidation are made permanent, the stability of the dantian barrier is greatly enhanced and becomes a permanent attribute. The 20% increase in the maximum spiritual power also becomes a permanent effect, which means that his dantian capacity is naturally 20% larger than that of other cultivators of the same level, and this advantage will be maintained until he reaches the Core Formation stage or even higher.

The spiritual energy in the dantian has reached its limit; the next step is to form the core.

Breaking through the Foundation provides a breakthrough probability bonus and protection against backlash; Dantai Creation provides perfect control during breakthrough and the ability to conceal the formation of the core; Foundation Building and Consolidation provide a stable dantian barrier and increased capacity; and the Three Elements Unity provides coordinated optimization of essence, qi, and spirit.

All four keywords directly related to the breakthrough are now in place.

Li Yuan closed his eyes and focused his mind deep into his dantian.

Spiritual energy is like a calm lake, full but not overflowing, stable but not agitated.

The opportunity to form the Golden Core is just around the corner.
