Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

"Cultivation: I Can Solidify Equipment Attributes" ranks highly in readers' poll for the best Xianxia novel!

A spiritual light flowed within the stone house, and a concealed array isolated all other auras from the outside.

Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the futon, and after circulating his energy for one full cycle, he slowly finished his practice.

The power of the late-stage Golden Core realm was now completely stable. The low-grade, grayish-purple Golden Core in his dantian rotated steadily, and twelve divine sense lines were neatly arranged in his sea of ​​consciousness. The efficiency of the circulation of spiritual energy and demonic energy in his meridians was more than one level higher than before the breakthrough.

The personal space also expanded along with the increase in cultivation level. The space, which was originally three zhang square, has now expanded to nearly four zhang. The silver patterns on the barrier are denser, and the stability of the space itself has also been significantly enhanced.

He focused his consciousness into his dantian, experiencing the comprehensive changes brought about by the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

The total amount of demonic energy, the strength of divine sense, and the reserves of vital energy have all increased to a new level.

The effect of permanently increasing the upper limit of vitality by 10% is superimposed on an already extremely strong foundation, and the actual feeling is far more intuitive than the numbers suggest.

Li Yuan calmed himself down, took out three items from his personal space, and placed them one by one on the stone ground in front of him.

Demonic Spirit Fusion Technique. Elixir Jade Token. Heavenly Elixir.

Li Yuan first picked up the Demon Spirit Fusion Technique.

A scroll of animal hide, glowing with an eerie light, has text written in ink that combines spiritual and demonic energy. The two distinct energies intertwine within the writing, yet do not clash.

[Equipable item detected: Demon Fusion Technique (Complete)]

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Magical Origin (Purple)]

[Effect: Spiritual power and demonic energy can be freely converted between each other; spiritual power and demonic energy can be moderately fused; the upper limit of both spiritual power and demonic energy is increased by 10%]

[Permanentization Requirements: Cultivation level reaches the late Golden Core stage]

Purple entry.

"Equipment. Permanentize."

[The phrase "Spiritual Origin (Purple)" has become a permanent entry.]

The phantom of the scroll of the cultivation technique flashed by and disappeared in an instant, turning into purple light spots that merged into the body.

The changes came drastically.

A layer of dark blue light suddenly appeared on the surface of the grayish-purple demonic golden core in the dantian.

The originally distinct spiritual and demonic energy within the meridians began to slowly converge under the pull of the halo. The boundary between the two energies became blurred, and it was no longer necessary to deliberately switch channels to access different attributes of power as before.

Spiritual energy can be directly converted into demonic energy, and demonic energy can be converted back into spiritual energy. The conversion process is smooth and unimpeded, with almost no loss.

More importantly, there is a moderate degree of fusion. Spiritual energy and demonic energy no longer simply operate in parallel, but can converge and mix in specific meridian pathways, forming a hybrid energy that combines the characteristics of both. This hybrid energy possesses both the purity and precision of spiritual energy and the fierce dominance of demonic energy.

The upper limits of spiritual power and demonic energy are each increased by 10%. Combined with the foundation of the late Golden Core stage, the total increase is extremely considerable.

After the panel is made permanent, another line pops up.

[Purple permanent attribute progress: 3/5 → 4/5]

Without much thought, Li Yuan picked up the Dan Yuan Jade Token.

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Core Formation Separated from Body (Blue)]

[Effect: Increases cultivation speed by 50% during the Golden Core stage; the Golden Core can leave the body; while outside the body, it can still maintain a connection with the physical body and soul]

[Permanentization Requirements: Cultivation level reaches the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm]

"Equipment. Permanentize."

【Dan Yuan Leaving the Body (Blue)】has become a permanent entry.

The jade pendant shattered into blue light spots that merged into the body.

His cultivation speed at the Golden Core stage increased by 50%. This means that within the same cultivation time, his efficiency in purifying spiritual energy and demonic energy increased by half. Combined with the automatic cultivation of spiritual veins and the automatic recovery of spiritual energy, his cultivation efficiency has reached an astonishing level.

Li Yuan will pick up the last item, the Heavenly Origin Pill.

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Consolidation of Vitality (Blue)]

[Effect: Golden Core solidification increases by 30%; Spiritual energy recovery speed increases by 50%]

[Permanentization Requirements: Cultivation level reaches the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm]

【"Strengthening Vitality and Prolonging Life (Blue)" has become a permanent term.

The Heavenly Origin Pill shattered into blue light spots that merged into the body.

The Golden Core's solidity has increased by 30%. This means that even if it's currently a low-grade Golden Core, under the continuous effect of the Qi-stabilizing and long-breathing technique, the Golden Core's internal density and structural strength will slowly increase. Although it cannot directly change the grade, the actual combat power and cultivation efficiency will steadily increase with the improvement in solidity.

All three entries have been made permanent.

Li Yuan then got up and walked to the stone table.

There were three storage bags piled on the table.

The spoils of war seized when three Yuan Sect demonic cultivators were ambushed and killed on the outskirts of Ghost Mist Forest.

I had been focused on cultivation and hadn't had time to take stock. After breaking through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, I immediately used the Breakthrough Refinement technique to jump to the late stage. After that, I was busy stabilizing my realm and permanentizing the attributes, and only now have I had the time to do so.

Li Yuan emptied the first storage bag.

The storage bag of a leading cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Thirty-seven mid-grade spirit stones. A second-tier, low-grade demonic blade, its body jet black, the edge gleaming with a dark red demonic aura. Two bottles of mana-restoring pills, one bottle of healing pills. A jade tablet engraved with the outer emblem of the Yuan Sect. Several common demonic talismans.

Li Yuan picked up the magic-patterned jade tablet.

The jade pendant is entirely black, with an intricate demonic pattern engraved on the front and an extremely fine demonic energy code on the back.

A panel pops up.

[Equipable item detected: Magic Rune Jade Token (Complete)]

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Magic Breath Detection (White)]

[Effect: Increases the range of demonic energy perception by 30%; demonic energy identification becomes clearer]

[Permanentization Requirements: Cultivation level reaches the late stage of Qi Refining]

White entries.

"equipment."

[The "Magic Breath Detection (White)" entry has been made permanent.]

The change was instantaneous. The coverage area of ​​Dark Insight's perception network remained unchanged, but its sensitivity to capturing demonic energy signals increased significantly.

Li Yuan continued to count the remaining storage bags.

The second and third ones belonged to two demonic cultivators at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

The harvest was largely the same. There were over forty mid-grade spirit stones, several high-grade first-tier to low-grade second-tier magical artifacts, and a number of pills and talismans. No items with special attributes.

Li Yuan stored all the spirit stones in his personal space, and neatly organized the magical artifacts and pills. The demonic artifacts were of average quality; he could have Xu Zhang dispose of them through clandestine channels later, or melt them down for use as refining materials.

After the inventory was completed, Li Yuan sat down cross-legged again.

He took out the Mysterious Nether Pearl from his personal space, an item that Chen Yi had given him to disguise his Golden Core aura.

The effect of the Mysterious Pearl is that it allows one to sense the rough abilities of the next realm in advance, but it cannot improve actual strength.

With a thought, Li Yuan equipped it.

The changes are completely different from when it was first equipped.

The next realm after the early and middle stages of the Golden Core realm is still within the Golden Core category, but the next realm after the late stage of the Golden Core realm is the Nascent Soul realm.

Li Yuan closed his eyes and tried to sense the perspective of the Nascent Soul.

space.

He could now sense the texture of the surrounding space. From the perspective of a Nascent Soul cultivator, the walls, floor, and ceiling of the stone house were no longer solid entities, but rather membranes formed by layers of extremely dense spatial structures. Between these membranes were extremely fine gaps, through which the residual waves of spatial power flowed.

It's much clearer than before.

This enhanced perception is of great significance for the training of Sky-Splitting Slash and Teleportation Technique.

Li Yuan withdrew the Nascent Soul perspective from the Mysterious Nether Pearl and opened his eyes.

In the days that followed, Li Yuan devoted all his energy to cultivation.

Now I can focus some of my attention on body-refining techniques.

[Mysterious Iron Bone Forging Technique: Proficient → Master]

[Golden Body Skill: Proficient → Minor Success]

On the fifth day, Ji Wenchuan came to report on the affairs of the market.

"All seven people from the Tianyue Sect have arrived at their posts."

Ji Wenchuan opened the ledger. "Two late-stage Foundation Establishment weapon refiners and one talisman maker have entered Yueqi Pavilion, and the other four have been arranged to live in the East District. As mentioned in the official letter from the stationed personnel, Yueqi Pavilion has already posted a new acquisition list."

He handed over a ledger.

Li Yuan took the list and glanced at it. The list of items to be purchased was extensive, ranging from second-tier combat talismans to various refining ores, covering most of the items sold in the market. The purchase price was 10% higher than the market price.

The ledger also shows the profits from the auction; they made quite a bit in total.

Li Yuan put down the account book and began to speak.

"Hold an auction every so often, make it a regular event."

The profit is secondary; the main thing is being able to collect keywords.

"In addition, the spirit fields around the market will no longer be planted with these herbs after this year's harvest."

Li Yuan casually mentioned the names of several herbs, which Ji Wenchuan wrote down one by one.

The reason for switching to cultivating spirit fields was to support their trade across the three continents.

Ji Wenchuan nodded to indicate that he understood, put away the account book, turned around and went out, but stopped at the door.

"By the way, Master, things have been getting increasingly turbulent at Dry Bone Ridge lately. The patrol team reported that the spiritual energy fluctuations in the northwest are becoming more frequent every day. This morning, two rogue cultivators even came to the market, saying they encountered unidentified cultivators on the outskirts of Ghost Mist Forest and were so frightened that they retreated overnight."

"Just keep an eye on it," Li Yuan said calmly.

"Increase the frequency of patrols, check the outer network of spirit detection talismans, and report any abnormalities to me immediately."

Ji Wenchuan nodded and left.

After the stone gate closed, the stone house returned to silence.

Li Yuan closed his eyes and focused his consciousness into his dantian.

The effect of the shared origin between spirit and demon continues to operate. Spiritual power and demonic energy flow alternately in the meridians, and the boundary of fusion becomes more natural with each cycle.
