Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

In the underground canyon of the Land of Desolation, the corpses of two demonic cultivators lay silently beneath the cold rock wall.

Li Yuan put away the black token engraved with the word "dark" and turned to walk back to the teleportation array stone platform that had just been repaired.

Silver spatial array patterns flowed across the surface of the stone platform, emitting faint yet stable spatial fluctuations. Li Yuan's gaze fell upon the core array eye at its very center. Embedded there was a fist-sized, translucent gray, multifaceted crystal.

This is the original array eye left behind by the Xuanyou Sect. Despite the erosion of time and the depletion of spiritual energy, it still seals extremely pure spatial power within.

He reached out, and the moment his fingertips touched the surface of the crystal, an unprecedented burst of intense purple light erupted from the edge of his vision.

[Equipable item detected: Teleport Stone (Purple)]

Purple light flowed across the panel, exuding an extremely profound texture.

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Teleport Stone (Purple)]

[Effect: Reduces the effects of spatial teleportation by 50%; doubles spatial perception; increases the effectiveness of spatial spells by 30%]

[Preview of Permanentization Requirements: Master two spatial spells and achieve perfection]

Purple entry.

Li Yuan's gaze sharpened slightly as he carefully scanned the effect description.

The effects of spatial teleportation are reduced by 50%. Long-distance teleportation across states puts immense pressure on a cultivator's physical body and soul; those with weaker cultivation levels may even suffer severe injuries and fall into a coma. Reducing the impact by 50% means that the time spent in shock and dizziness after landing from teleportation will be greatly shortened, which is equivalent to a life-saving skill in wartime.

Spatial perception is doubled, and the effectiveness of spatial spells is increased by 30%. This is a genuine, hardcore boost. Spatial spells are already extremely rare and difficult to defend against; with this enhancement, their power will undergo a qualitative change.

It's a pity I don't have spatial magic yet.

As for the conditions for permanentization, it requires mastering two spatial spells and achieving perfection. Spatial spells are extremely rare, making this a goal that will inevitably require long-term preparation.

Without hesitation, Li Yuan took out a standard third-tier Void Stone from his storage bag.

He released spiritual energy from his fingertips, carefully severing the connection of the core circuit, prying out the teleportation stone with its purple light contained, and then quickly pressing the Void Stone into the array eye to reconnect the array patterns.

A flash of silver light appeared, but the array continued to operate smoothly. Replacing the array's core did not affect the basic function of this teleportation array.

Li Yuan brought up the equipment menu.

"equipment."

[Equipped: Teleport Stone (Purple)]

[Teleport Stone (Purple) in effect]

[Conditions for making the Teleportation Stone (Purple) permanent: Master two spatial spells and reach perfection (0/2)]

The moment the entry took effect, Li Yuan felt that the world before him had undergone an extremely subtle reconstruction.

What was once empty space ahead now appeared as layers of fine folds in his perception. He could even clearly feel the silver light emanating from the teleportation array beneath his feet extending along these spatial folds, like an invisible passage, towards the distant Yunyang Market.

Spatial perception is doubled.

The world gained another dimension in his eyes.

Li Yuan put aside his thoughts, stepped into the center of the teleportation array, embedded several mid-grade spirit stones, and cast an activation spell.

A blinding silver light shot into the sky, instantly engulfing his figure.

The familiar tearing and dizziness followed, but this time, the twisting force that seemed to be tearing his internal organs apart was weakened by an invisible force the moment it touched his body.

Just a few breaths later, the silver light dissipated.

Li Yuan stood steadily on the newly built teleportation array inside Yunyang Market.

He didn't vomit, didn't stagger, and was completely clear-headed. He only took a short breath before striding down from the stone platform.

After handing over the mission in Mozhou at the sect's outpost, Li Yuan received the remaining rewards and did not linger in Yunyang Market before returning directly to Wulin Market.

I haven't been back for several days, and the changes in Wulinfang Market are neither significant nor minor.

The term "not significant" refers to the fact that the overall layout of the market area has not undergone drastic changes. The main street remains the same, and the shantytowns and courtyards in the southern district have not continued their disorderly expansion. Everything is managed in an orderly manner by Ji Mingyuan and others.

The term "not small" refers to the fact that the overall output of the market has surged to an astonishing level.

Li Yuan entered the city from the south gate. Along the way, he saw cartloads of finished fire stones being transported out from the direction of the mine; the Ji family's weapon-refining shop was open day and night, with the sound of magic weapons being struck continuously; long queues had formed in front of the Sun family's talisman shop, and large quantities of first-tier talismans were being bought in bundles.

The output from the pill shop was even more astonishing, with the medicinal herbs produced in the spiritual field being completely transformed into a continuous supply of pills.

The Misty Forest Market is like a war machine running at full capacity, frantically consuming resources.

Li Yuan went straight to the management office, where Chen Yi was at his desk, flipping through a thick stack of intelligence jade slips, his brows furrowed.

"You're back?" Chen Yi looked up and saw Li Yuan, his tense expression easing slightly.

"The situation in Mexico has been resolved." Li Yuan sat down opposite him. "Judging from your expression, the situation has worsened again?"

"It's more than just worsening." Chen Yi pushed a red jade slip in front of Li Yuan, his voice low. "The demonic cultivators are gaining momentum. The Qishui Sect has backed down."

Li Yuan picked up the jade slip and probed it with his divine sense.

"It seems that the Qishui Sect and the Demonic Sect have reached some kind of shady agreement. The Qishui Sect has voluntarily abandoned several key resource points in central Yunzhou and completely withdrawn its defenses. In exchange, the Demonic Cultivators have ceased their full-scale attack on the Qishui Sect."

Chen Yi sneered, his tone revealing undisguised contempt.

"This is tantamount to selling off all the independent cultivators and small families in Yunzhou."

"The demonic cultivators have had their fill in Yunzhou; their next move is obvious." Li Yuan put down the jade slip.

"That's right." Chen Yi nodded emphatically. "They have already shifted their focus to Liangzhou. The pressure on the border will increase exponentially, and the Yuanyang Sect has already begun sending inner disciples to reinforce the front lines."

Li Yuan didn't say much. He, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, couldn't control the course of events. All he could do was hold onto the cards he had more tightly.

Back in the stone house, Li Yuan sealed the doors and windows and activated all the early warning arrays.

He walked to the table and took out the black token with hidden characters that he had seized from Mozhou, as well as the jade slip containing the demonic energy fluctuations recorded by the micro-node array in recent days.

Continue deciphering.

With this core token as a reference, and in conjunction with the subtle perception of [Dark Fiend Insight], Li Yuan's speed in deciphering the frequency of that demonic energy transmission made a qualitative leap.

An hour later, he translated the latest intercepted intelligence about the mole in its entirety.

The content is very brief.

"Tonight, the operation begins."

Objective: Collect... (specific material number)

The intelligence report vaguely mentioned a location, but the mole seemed to be using some kind of code name and did not specify the exact location.

Li Yuan frowned slightly as he looked at the deciphered information written on the paper.

The demonic cultivators are collecting a certain material, which matches the information Chen Yi mentioned earlier. But what exactly is this material that would warrant such a large-scale conflict between the Dark Abyss Society and the Demonic Fiend Sect?

Suddenly, a fragment of an internal resource allocation order from the Yuanyang Sect that he had inadvertently glimpsed during the handover of tasks in Yunyang Market flashed through his mind.

He had only glanced at it at the time and hadn't paid it any attention. But now, when he compared the types of spiritual materials on that allocation sheet with the incomplete code frequencies in the mole's intelligence, Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

The materials that Yuan Yang Sect has been frantically sending out missions to collect recently have a very high degree of overlap in attributes and uses with the materials that the Dark Abyss Society is collecting by any means necessary.

The trail ends here; the information from the mole was too brief to piece together the complete picture.

Li Yuan crumpled the paper containing the deciphered information into ashes in his palm.

Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the futon, his eyes slightly closed.

All five spiritual threads were withdrawn into his body, and he devoted himself entirely to cultivation.

The abundant spiritual energy surrounding them, along with the spiritual power generated by the [Spiritual Essence Strengthening], continuously cleansed their meridians.

He first activated the Green Wood Longevity Technique.

The wood-attribute spiritual energy flowed continuously within the body, forming a perfectly closed loop along the twelve regular meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians. As the last stream of spiritual energy was injected into the wood-attribute node of the liver, a soft sound, like spring thunder breaking through ice, suddenly emanated from within the body.

That wisp of cyan spiritual energy that was originally wandering in the meridians instantly became incredibly solid, as if it carried a trace of the life rhythm of real plants growing.

A panel pops up.

[Green Wood Longevity Technique: Perfected]

The practice has been completed.

Li Yuan did not stop; he instantly switched the cultivation route.

A frenzied, chilling demonic energy rose from the shadows at the bottom of his dantian. With the aid of [Dark Fiend Insight], he deduced the trajectory of the Demonic Yuan Technique to its ultimate limit.

The demonic energy was compressed wildly within the meridians, and the originally somewhat ethereal black mist gradually condensed into solid black droplets. These droplets flowed through the meridians without any sign of backlash; instead, they became as docile as an extension of one's own limbs.
