Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

The bustling atmosphere of Wulin Market arrives earlier than usual in the early morning.

Li Yuan stood in front of the stone house, watching the flow of people coming and going on the main street, feeling the rhythm of the entire market.

The influx of outside cultivators, while putting pressure on the market, also facilitated the flow of resources.

Wulinfang has completely transformed from a refuge that relied solely on Li Yuan into a self-sustaining border transit hub with multiple industries.

In order to maintain the full-speed operation of various industries in the market, a large amount of auxiliary materials and basic supplies are consumed very quickly.

Li Yuan gave Chen Yi a few instructions on daily tasks, then left Wulin Market and headed to Yunyang Market for a large-scale purchase.

Yunyang Market was even more crowded than the last time I visited.

The expanded city walls were not yet fully completed, and the open space outside the city was already filled with temporary tents. Li Yuan did not linger in the commercial area, but went straight into the bulk material trading area. With his abundant spirit stone reserves, he swept up all kinds of low-level array materials, alchemy auxiliary medicines, and cinnabar and talisman paper for making talismans.

After half a day, the storage bag was completely full.

After finishing his shopping, Li Yuanshun went to the unlicensed vendor area of ​​Yunyangfang Market.

This place is a mixed bag, and occasionally you can find something of value. His eyes quickly swept across the stalls on both sides.

Li Yuan stopped in his tracks as he passed a stall selling low-level animal hides and broken talismans.

The stall owner was a young man in his early twenties, wearing a slightly worn gray robe, who was tidying up several badly drawn talismans.

"Zhang Qiu," Li Yuan said.

The young man's hand trembled, and he suddenly looked up. The moment he saw Li Yuan, a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.

It seems they know each other.

"I am Inspector Li," Li Yuan said with a smile as he looked at Zhang Qiu.

"Senior Li... Senior Li!" Zhang Qiu hurriedly stood up and awkwardly wiped his hands on his clothes.

He is Old Zhang's grandson.

"Why are you setting up a stall in Yunyang Market?" Li Yuan asked, looking at the lower-quality goods on his stall. "Where's Lao Zhang?"

Zhang Qiu gave a bitter smile and sighed.

"After the Li family left, the Li Family Market changed. The Wang family and an elder from the Yuan Yang Sect jointly controlled the market." Zhang Qiu lowered his voice. "Later, business there became increasingly difficult, and with the growing suspicion of demonic cultivators, the situation became unfavorable. So my grandfather gritted his teeth and moved us to the Yunyang Market."

"We were lucky. Although it was crowded in Yunyang, we managed to get a foothold."

Li Yuan nodded; this was the norm among independent cultivators during wartime.

"How is Old Zhang's cultivation level now?"

"My grandfather has broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining." Zhang Qiu's face darkened as he said this. "But he's old, and his Qi and blood have long since declined. This breakthrough was achieved by swallowing a Breaking Fiend Pill and forcibly opening up his meridians with the help of the medicine."

Breaking Evil Pill, I never expected Old Sun's pills to be sold here.

"He's still recovering at home," Zhang Qiu said, her head bowed.

"Take me to see him," Li Yuan said.

Zhang Qiu nodded, casually rolled up the gray cloth and stuffed it into his pocket, then led the way.

The two wandered around a dense shantytown on the outskirts of Yunyangfang for half an incense stick's time before finally stopping in front of a cramped wooden house.

The room was dimly lit and filled with a strong, bitter smell of medicine and an atmosphere of decay.

Old Zhang lay on a dilapidated wooden bed, his face sallow, his eyes slightly closed, practicing internal energy to heal his injuries.

He opened his eyes when he heard the noise.

When he saw the figure standing behind Zhang Qiu, his cloudy eyes widened suddenly.

He felt the oppressive spiritual power emanating from Li Yuan, which, even when deliberately restrained, was still as imposing as a deep abyss and a towering mountain.

That was the spiritual pressure of someone in the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Senior Li, you've arrived."

Old Zhang tried to sit up, but Li Yuan stepped forward, pressed down on his shoulder, and prevented him from getting up.

"No need for such formalities."

Old Zhang leaned back against the bed, took a few breaths, and said with a wry smile, "I heard that a Master Li came from Wulin Market, but I never expected it to be you."

He truly didn't know before that the Li Yuan in front of him, who had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, was the current Master Li of Wulin Market.

Li Yuan didn't respond to that. After thinking for a moment, he took out three jade bottles from his storage bag and placed them on the wooden table by his bedside.

"This is a longevity pill," Li Yuan said, pointing to the jade bottle sealed with a spirit-sealing talisman. "There's also a healing pill and some first-tier cultivation pills."

These pills are expensive, but if you really calculate it, it's only equivalent to Li Yuan's income for two or three days.

Old Zhang stared at the jade bottle on the table, his expression silent, but his lips trembling.

"This... is too precious. I feel unworthy to accept it."

"Your knowledge of talisman making helped me a lot back then, and you deserve it."

Old Zhang did not refuse again, and solemnly clasped his hands in a fist and bowed deeply on the bed.

Li Yuan did not stay in the wooden house for long. After instructing Zhang Qiu to take good care of Old Zhang, he turned around and left Yunyang Market.

It was still early when we returned to Wulin Market.

Li Yuan didn't rush back to the stone house to refine pills. Instead, he took a walk around the scattered cultivator stalls on the main street of the market, just to check on the daily order.

As he walked to an inconspicuous stall in the south area, his gaze suddenly fell on a stone placed on the edge of a rag.

The stone was only the size of a fist, with a translucent, jade-like surface, but inside it seemed to contain a slowly flowing cloud of milky white mist.

Items with green tags.

Li Yuan squatted down and touched the surface of the stone with his fingers.

[Equipable item detected]

[Item Attribute Level: Green]

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

Li Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he looked up at the stall owner.

"How much is this jade?"

The stall owner, a middle-aged man at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, immediately perked up when someone inquired about the price: "Master Li has excellent taste! I dug this out of an abandoned spirit mine in Yunzhou. The quality is superb; it's absolutely top-notch material for making array foundations or carving magic artifacts. Ten low-grade spirit stones for you."

Without wasting any words, Li Yuan threw down ten low-grade spirit stones and took them in his hand.

The moment the transaction is completed, the ownership of the item changes, and a complete notification panel immediately pops up.

[Equipable item detected: Spirit Jadeite Ore (Complete)]

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Spiritual Essence Strengthening (Green)]

[Effect: Spiritual energy will slowly and spontaneously generate within the body]

[Preview of Permanentization Conditions: Immerse it in a leyline node for thirty days]

A glint of light flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.

Spiritual energy slowly and spontaneously generates itself within the body.

This is completely different from the "Earth Vein Resonance" which allows you to "restore spiritual power while standing on the ground" or the "Spirit Beast Essence Blood" which increases the speed of spiritual power recovery.

This is fabricated out of thin air.

No need for deliberate meditation or absorbing external spiritual energy; as long as the incantation is present, spiritual power will spontaneously arise within the body. In harsh environments where spiritual energy is scarce or even nonexistent, this ability is almost equivalent to an inexhaustible trump card.

As for the conditions for permanentization, immersing himself in the spiritual vein node for thirty days was no challenge for him.

The spiritual vein nodes beneath the Misty Forest City are all under his control.

Li Yuan calmly put away the Spirit Jade Marrow ore, turned around and strode towards the stone house.
