Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Follow the pen of this writing prodigy and embark on an adventure in "Cultivation: I Can Solidify Equipment Attributes" on the internet.

Large merchant ships cut through the waves, following the path of the seabed veins in the inland sea.

The spiritual veins beneath the sea surface are much denser than those along the outer sea edge. Every few days, merchant ships would anchor and rest near some small islands that served as transit points on their routes, and trade with the local island powers.

The voyage continued until the twentieth day.

The merchant ship, which had been stable, suddenly began to shake violently.

The defensive array surrounding the ship instantly shone at its brightest, emitting a humming sound as if it were about to collapse under the strain. The seawater suddenly turned as black as ink, and a suffocatingly immense pressure slowly rose from the seabed hundreds of feet deep.

Third-tier monster.

The monks on the deck turned deathly pale instantly, and even breathing became difficult.

Li Yuan stood by the cabin window, his Dark Insight Perception Network extending outwards, immediately retracting upon touching the edge of that aura.

It was a colossal deep-sea beast of immeasurable size, with an aura no less powerful than that of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, and it possessed the ferocity and bloodlust unique to marine monsters.

Inside the core cabin at the bottom level, three powerful divine senses at the early stage of the Golden Core realm soared into the sky and converged above the sea.

After a brief exchange, a deep voice resounded throughout the ship.

"Turn the rudder. Full sails. Head northeast for two hundred li."

No battle ensued. Faced with a third-tier sea monster, the three Golden Core cultivators exchanged words and chose to retreat.

Even the three early-stage Golden Core cultivators were unwilling to confront him head-on in the deep sea.

The merchant ship quickly adjusted its course and, with the defensive array operating at full capacity, sailed away from the dark sea without incident.

The night before the conference.

Li Yuan sat cross-legged in the quiet room of the top-class cabin.

A small water-gathering array was set up inside the room, and the air was filled with rich water-based spiritual energy. The blue inscription of "Tide Returning to Origin" silently circulated within the body, continuously drawing the surrounding water-based spiritual energy into the meridians.

Li Yuan closed his eyes and began to circulate the Cold Stream Spirit Fusion Technique.

The cultivation technique at the Great Perfection stage resonated within his body. Water-based spiritual energy, like a surging river, continuously eroded the barriers of his meridians under extremely high-purity compression.

As the final cycle of the Great Heavenly Circulation was completed, the spiritual energy vortex surrounding the dantian suddenly contracted inward, then erupted with an even longer and purer wave of energy.

[Cold Stream Spirit Fusion Technique: Great Success → Perfection]

The water-based martial arts technique has been completely perfected.

Li Yuan opened his eyes, and the flow of spiritual energy in his meridians was no longer sluggish. The water-based spiritual energy and demonic energy had perfectly blended under the harmony of the shared origin of demonic spirits, resulting in a substantial increase in his combat power once again.

The next morning.

The merchant ship finally slowly sailed into an extremely wide harbor.

Li Yuan stepped out of the cabin. Ahead lay a vast island stretching to the horizon, with towering peaks and countless magnificent buildings built against the mountains. Strange flying magical artifacts and spirit birds frequently soared through the sky.

The outer islands of the Kunpeng Alliance.

Li Yuan followed the flow of people onto the island. This was just one of the many outer islands of the Kunpeng Island Alliance, but its prosperity far surpassed any market town in Liangzhou.

Li Yuan walked to a secluded corner and formed a hand seal.

Tianyan Divination Technique.

A sliver of lifespan was extracted, and the remaining Heavenly Derivation Number instantly filled the gap.

Li Yuan silently wondered to himself, "Is there any treasure here?"

The sensory pulse merged into the void, and after a moment, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth returned as feedback.

Extremely blurry.

A huge fog seemed to appear in his sea of ​​consciousness, with countless powerful spiritual lights intertwining and colliding within it, making it impossible to discern the specific location or whether it was auspicious or inauspicious.

Li Yuan put away his magic spells and walked inward along the wide stone-paved main street.

From the conversation among the monks by the roadside, Li Yuan learned that the real large-scale auction would not be held for another two weeks, and that what was currently taking place on the island was the initial large-scale trade fair.

Li Yuan spent the entire day wandering among the stalls and small shops on the outer edge of the trade fair.

Even the outer ring of a trade fair of this caliber hides many good things.

After most of the day, he saw three ordinary objects with entries on them.

A roughly polished nautical compass, a piece of moisture-proof cloth emitting a faint mist, and a light, floating spirit stone.

After paying the spirit stones, he took the three items in his hands.

System notification sounds rang out one after another.

[Equipable item detected: Navigational Compass (Complete)]

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Compass Detection (White)]

[Effect: Enhances perception of the direction with the densest spiritual energy, aiding in the search for spiritual veins and resources]

The "Compass Detection (White)" entry has become a permanent entry.

[Equipable item detected: Moisture-proof cloth (complete)]

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Floating Spirit (White)]

[Effect: Grants temporary levitation ability; flight speed increases by 30% after Foundation Establishment]

[Floating Spirit (White) has become a permanent entry]

Three faint lights dissipated within the body.

My perception of high concentrations of spiritual energy has become more acute, my absorption rate of water-based spiritual energy has increased again, and my body has a faint sense of lightness as if I am free from gravity.

Just as Li Yuan was about to delve deeper into the trading area, an indescribable, terrifying pressure suddenly swept across the center of the island.

This aura was extremely brief, like a thunderclap flashing across the night sky.

There was no concealment whatsoever; it was utterly pure and utterly domineering.

The entire outer trading area fell into a deathly silence. All the Foundation Establishment cultivators and Qi Refining cultivators involuntarily stopped in their tracks, their faces filled with awe.

Nascent Soul.

This is not a warning, but a declaration. A declaration of absolute control over the island, deterring all those with ulterior motives.

Once the oppressive aura dissipated, the streets returned to their usual bustling state.

Li Yuan entered a teahouse that specialized in selling information, ordered a pot of spiritual tea, and quietly listened to the discussions of the cultivators around him.

This auction is of extremely high caliber. The inner venue at the center of the island is not only backed by the Kunpeng Alliance's resources, but will also offer genuine Nascent Soul level resources for sale.

Therefore, among the dominant forces in the outer seas, Coral Palace and Dragon Abyss Pavilion each dispatched a cultivator at the late Golden Core stage to guard against unforeseen circumstances.

The providers of those Nascent Soul level resources were none other than the Tianyue Sect.

Li Yuan held his teacup, lost in thought.

Why would Tianyue Sect sell Nascent Soul level resources overseas? Strategic resources of this caliber would normally be kept within the sect for internal consumption or reserved for its own Golden Core cultivators as a reserve.

Unless Tianyue Sect is currently in dire need of something specific, or needs an enormous amount of spirit stones and high-level currency to convert into cash.

Based on the information previously sent by the Demon Sect, the answer is obvious.

The Nascent Soul ancestor of the Tianyue Sect is really about to break through to the Divine Transformation stage.

After finishing the last sip of tea, Li Yuan got up and left the teahouse.

As Li Yuan continued to wander around the island, he noticed an interesting phenomenon.

On this island in the open sea, the boundaries between the various powers seem to have become very blurred.

He not only saw disciples dressed in Tianyue Sect attire setting up stalls, but also several Yuanyang Sect cultivators engaging in lively discussions in a restaurant. Even several streets away, he clearly sensed several pure fluctuations of demonic energy.

Those demonic cultivators, dressed in black robes, swaggered around the street selecting spiritual materials. The righteous cultivators and local island forces around them seemed to be used to it, showing no intention of rejecting or calling for their deaths.

As long as you abide by the island's trading rules, whether you're from the righteous path or the demonic path, you're a guest here.

Night falls.

Li Yuan stopped in a high-end inn area near the inner circle.

The architectural style in this area is extremely uniform, all carved from single pieces of jade, radiating a soft, ethereal glow.

Li Yuanhua rented a private cultivation room at a high price.

Pushing open the jade-carved door, a surge of pure spiritual energy, far surpassing that of the outside world, rushed out. The room's layout was extremely sophisticated, with interconnected arrays, providing defense and soundproofing comparable to the cave dwelling of a Golden Core cultivator.

The moment Li Yuan stepped into the room, his senses within a three-foot radius jolted, and a purple entry appeared.

The panel popped up automatically, and a completely different message appeared in view.

[Special item detected]

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

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment.

He looked around. This house was no ordinary building; it was part of some enormous magical artifact.

Lingtai Palace.

This is the name of the entire inn area. The inn itself is an incredibly amazing piece of equipment.

Containing his surprise, Li Yuan sat cross-legged in the spirit-gathering array in the center of the room.

Since I can't equip it, I'll stop thinking about it.

Li Yuan closed his eyes, stopped using magic, and focused his mind on his physical body.

The body's Qi and blood surge like a river.

The energy pathways of the Golden Body Technique and the Mysterious Iron Bone Forging Technique circulate wildly through the meridians and bones.

He forcibly extracted the spiritual energy from his six personal spiritual veins, turning it into fuel to temper his physical body.

Time slips away quietly during cultivation.

Ten days later.

A muffled rumble of thunder echoed from inside the room, the sound of bone marrow vibrating violently.

Li Yuan opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

[Mysterious Iron Bone Forging Technique: Minor Success → Major Success]

[Golden Body Skill: Great Success → Perfection]

The pale golden metallic luster on the surface of his body completely subsided, and his skin returned to its normal color, but the terrifying power contained in every inch of his muscles and bones had reached its limit.
