Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Late at night, Li Yuan was circulating the Xuanming Sha Gong in the stone house, and the demonic golden core in his dantian was slowly rotating.

A violent tremor suddenly came from my sea of ​​consciousness.

The entire earth vein was trembling.

Li Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

The resonance of the earth's veins gave him a perception of the ground beneath his feet far beyond that of ordinary people. At this moment, he clearly felt that about thirty miles to the northwest, deep underground, an extremely violent energy was gushing out and spreading in all directions along the branches of the earth's veins.

Dry Bone Ridge.

Something went wrong with that top-grade third-tier restriction; it seems to be the result of a failed attempt to break it.

Such commotion cannot be kept secret.

Li Yuan got up, pushed open the door, and pretended to be startled, glancing outside.

Many cultivators in the market had already been awakened by the tremors of the earth's veins. In the distance, spiritual light emanated from several stone houses, and a few patrol team members were hurrying towards the north gate of the market.

"Ji Wenchuan, I'm leaving the market to you. I'm going out to check the situation." Li Yuan tossed these words to Ji Wenchuan, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, before transforming into a streak of light and disappearing in the northwest.

After leaving the workshop, Li Yuan did not head straight for the Dry Bone Ridge, but stopped on a ridge halfway there.

Dark Fiend's perception network was fully deployed.

In the sky towards the direction of the Dry Bone Ridge, three auras were rapidly approaching the ruins.

The aura at the very front was vast and imposing, made no attempt to conceal it. The pressure of spiritual power was like a moving mountain, forcing even the spiritual energy in the air to retreat to both sides wherever it passed.

Late stage of Golden Core.

Xuanpu Zhenren.

The aura of True Man Xuanpu was completely undisguised, like a flag planted between heaven and earth, demonstrating the attitude of Tianyue Sect towards the situation at Kugu Ridge—direct intervention.

However, what attracted Li Yuan's attention was not Xuanpu Zhenren, but the three clusters of aura approaching Kugu Ridge from two other directions.

Three Golden Core cultivators.

Demonic energy.

Three clusters of demonic energy signals approached simultaneously from the west and northwest, moving at extremely high speeds. Two of the clusters had a demonic energy concentration at the early Golden Core stage, while the third was much more condensed and profound, at least at the mid-Golden Core stage.

The frequency of the demonic energy fluctuations of the three individuals all exhibited a constant, unsegmented, continuous wave characteristic.

Yuanzong.

Li Yuan stood on the ridge, gazing at the night sky in the direction of Kugu Ridge.

The oppressive aura of the late-stage Golden Core cultivator, Xuanpu Zhenren, clashed with the demonic energy of the three Yuanzong Golden Core cultivators above the Dry Bone Ridge. The collision of their auras disrupted the spiritual energy within a radius of several miles.

Besides the four Golden Core cultivators, more than ten Foundation Establishment level auras were rapidly moving in various directions around the perimeter of the Dry Bone Ridge. Some were converging towards the ruins, while others were retreating. Righteous cultivators, demonic cultivators, and rogue cultivators of unknown origin were all mixed together.

The situation is escalating rapidly, and the region will only become more chaotic from now on.

Li Yuan did not approach any further.

He turned and retreated south, bypassing the area directly in the direction of Dry Bone Ridge, and stealthily moved along the outer edge of Ghost Mist Forest.

After walking for about ten miles, Dark Fiend's keen senses detected something unusual in the forest ahead.

Three clusters of demonic energy signals.

One was in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and two were in the mid Foundation Establishment stage. The three were moving extremely fast, heading southeast from the direction of Dry Bone Ridge, seemingly taking advantage of the chaos to escape.

The properties of demonic energy are different from the segmented pulses of the Demonic Fiend Sect; it is more like the continuous waves of the Abyss Sect.

The three did not notice Li Yuan—the permanent attribute of being elusive completely erased his presence, making him appear like a stone under the cover of night and fog.

Li Yuan did not hesitate.

The Mirror Binding Talisman was taken out of the storage bag.

He still had quite a few of the Mirror Binding Talismans he had made himself. The condition for making the Cold Vein Slowing effect permanent is to successfully bind targets above the Foundation Establishment level ten times.

I've just used up all my attempts.

Li Yuan raised his right hand, and the first Mirror Binding Talisman flew out of his hand.

The talisman activated silently in the air, and a layer of ice-blue mirror-like force field exploded from the surface of the talisman, precisely covering the mid-Foundation Establishment demon cultivator who was running at the back.

The moment the force field solidifies, the effect of slowing down the cold meridians is triggered simultaneously—ice-type spiritual energy seeps into the target's body along the contact surface of the force field, directly hitting the demonic energy flowing in the meridians and forcibly slowing down its circulation speed.

The demonic cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage suddenly froze.

"Who goes there!" The late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator in front suddenly turned around.

The second Mirror Binding Talisman has arrived.

The icy blue force field erupted once more, locking the second Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivator in place.

The third one was aimed at the leader, who was in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

The late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator reacted much faster, and a demonic energy shield suddenly opened up around his body. The force field of the Mirror Binding Talisman collided with the shield, and the icy blue and dark red lights clashed violently. The shield cracked rapidly under the pressure of the force field, but the leading cultivator had already used this brief buffer to desperately retreat several feet.

"Walk--"

Before the words were finished, the fourth Mirror Binding Talisman arrived.

This time, the force field's condensation range was wider, directly covering his retreat path. The leading cultivator's legs were enveloped by the icy blue force field, and his demonic energy was rapidly slowed down by the stagnation effect of the cold meridians.

...the eighth, ninth, and tenth time.

A panel pops up.

The conditions for permanent cold-blooded stagnation (green) have been met (10/10)

[The term "cold pulse stagnation (green)" has become a permanent entry.]

The illusory image of the Mirror Binding Talisman froze for a moment in the equipment record before turning into a green light spot and merging into the body.

However, the panel did not disappear.

[Term fusion detected]

[Slowed Cold Vein (Green) + Cold Armor Protection (Green) + Cold Current Amplification (White) → Cold Vein Seal (Green)]

【Frostbite Seal (Green) Effect: When ice spells and cold-attribute attacks hit a target, they can slow down the flow of spiritual energy in the target's meridians and apply a freezing effect; when attacked, it automatically releases a cold air backlash, slowing down the opponent's attack speed and freezing their meridians; the power of cold-attribute spells is permanently increased by 30%】

Li Yuan's consciousness stirred, confirming the fusion.

triple.

Li Yuan felt the increasingly solid and profound chill within his body, and his gaze fell on the three demonic cultivators in front of him who were bound by the Mirror Binding Talisman.

The three are still struggling.

The leading late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, with his superior cultivation level, had already cracked most of the icy blue force field on his legs and was about to break free.

Li Yuan raised his hand.

Freeze spell.

The Frostbite Sealing effect was fully triggered the instant it hit. The remaining demonic energy within the three bodies was completely frozen, their meridians as if filled with liquid ice, and all their functions came to an abrupt halt.

The three bodies stood frozen in place, their surfaces quickly covered with a thick layer of ice.

Li Yuan stepped forward, deftly collected the three people's storage bags, and then used the Flaming Flame to incinerate the corpses and traces at the scene.

In the distance, towards the direction of the Dry Bone Ridge, the confrontation between True Immortal Xuanpu and Golden Core cultivator Yuanzong continued. Occasionally, the sounds of violent collisions of spiritual energy could be heard from dozens of miles away, muffled like distant thunder.

Li Yuan didn't look any further and turned to rush towards the market.

When they returned to the stone house, the eastern sky was already showing a faint glimmer of dawn.

He closed the door, activated the concealment array, and sat down cross-legged.

The demonic golden core slowly rotated in the dantian, and the eerie patterns on its surface deepened.
