Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

The world created by the writing prodigy is all in "Cultivation: I Can Solidify Equipment Attributes".

Kunpeng is out at sea, and night has fallen.

Li Yuan stood on a secluded reef and threw the newly bought black wooden boat into the sea.

After entering the water, the small boat quickly grew larger, reaching a size of ten feet, and floated steadily on the sea surface.

Li Yuan stepped into the boat, and the array patterns on its hull lit up. The water-avoiding boat transformed into a black streak of light, cutting through the waves and speeding towards the depths of the unclaimed outer sea.

After getting away from the island, he maneuvered the water-avoiding boat to begin diving.

The surrounding light was quickly swallowed up by the seawater, and soon only darkness remained. As the depth increased, the defensive array patterns on the surface of the water-repelling boat began to emit a faint hum, and the water pressure it was enduring also increased.

This is truly the deep sea. Few cultivators usually come to such places, not only because a large number of high-level demonic beasts lurk in the darkness, but also because the spiritual veins of this sea area are buried deep within the seabed rock layers, making them inaccessible by ordinary means.

When it descended to a depth of fifty zhang, the array patterns on the water-avoiding boat emitted a laborious creaking sound.

Li Yuan put the water-avoiding boat back into his equipment inventory. Without the water-avoiding boat, diving alone in the deep sea, he could be attacked by sea monsters at any time.

The effect of [Intent to Control Water] remains in effect.

The moment the equipment activated, he clearly felt the surrounding seawater become exceptionally welcoming. He didn't even need to use spiritual power to cast water-based spells; with just a thought, the seawater around him would flow according to his will.

The seawater parted automatically just inches away from Li Yuan's body, dissipating most of the impact of the current. However, the water pressure itself did not disappear; the pressure of the deep sea relentlessly squeezed his body from all directions.

He didn't activate his protective aura, but instead allowed the pressure to fall directly on him.

The perception abilities of the Nascent Soul stage came in handy at this moment. With the help of this perception, which far surpassed that of the Golden Core stage, Li Yuan had a clear grasp of every flow of his internal energy and blood under high pressure.

This place is practically a natural training ground for the body.

His blood and qi surged wildly through his meridians, producing a dull rumbling sound. The Xuan Tie Forging Bone Technique's energy flowed frantically within his body, the pressure of the deep sea acting like a giant hammer, repeatedly pounding and compressing every inch of his bones and every muscle.

Time passes little by little.

A series of soft popping sounds emanated from deep within the bones. The already fully formed physical body underwent another transformation, with a dark golden luster emanating from its skin, almost blending into the surrounding dark seawater.

[Mysterious Iron Bone Forging Technique: Mastery → Perfection]

Li Yuan opened his eyes, and the dark golden luster on his skin slowly receded.

The pressure of the deep sea water on my body no longer aroused any sense of stuffiness, just like wearing a slightly heavy coat.

Warm-up is over, now it's time to get down to business.

He focused his mind on the system panel and placed the spindle-shaped magic weapon he had previously acquired into his equipment slot.

[Equipped: Vein-Stripping Shuttle (Complete)]

[Spirit Transformation from Meridians (Blue)] is now in effect.

Compass detection and array core sensing unfolded simultaneously in the darkness, the two senses intertwining into a net. Before long, Li Yuan locked onto a miniature water-based spiritual vein buried deep beneath the seabed rock strata.

He continued to descend like a fish, landing lightly on the uneven seabed.

He raised his right hand, bringing two fingers together to form a knife shape.

The Sky-Splitting Slash at its perfect state.

There was no dazzling light, only a smooth, mirror-like gray crack extending from his fingertips. Following the direction of the spiritual vein he sensed, Li Yuan meticulously cut along the hard seabed rock layer, bit by bit.

The rock was silently sliced ​​open like tofu, and seawater poured in, revealing a miniature spiritual vein trunk beneath, radiating a ghostly blue light.

The effect of the "Drawing Spirit from the Meridian" attribute is activated.

The seabed rock strata trembled slightly, and the entire miniature spiritual vein, like a long snake with its tendons pulled out, was completely peeled out of the ground by the spiritual shuttle.

The miniature spiritual vein, tens of feet long, vanished from its original location in an instant, being swept into his personal space and then quickly incorporated into the spiritual vein circulation network within Li Yuan's body.

[Spirit Transformation (Blue) Progress: 0/5 → 1/5]

The whole process went much more smoothly than expected. The Sky-Splitting Slash cleared the way, while the Spirit Shuttle uprooted the spirits. The whole process was very smooth and did not cause any violent disturbances in the spiritual energy of the seabed.

Li Yuan did not stop, but continued searching forward following the direction of the earth's veins.

Just as he was preparing to search for the second spiritual vein.

Suddenly, a powerful aura of a demonic beast intruded into the edge of my senses.

A third-tier demonic beast. Equivalent to the Golden Core stage of a human cultivator.

Not only that, but this demonic aura also contained a very subtle yet pure demonic energy.

Li Yuan stopped what he was doing. His figure blended into the dark seawater, and with the Shadow Step combined with the Invisibility Technique, he minimized his spiritual energy fluctuations and quietly approached the direction from which the aura was coming.

After rounding a massive underwater cliff, a colossal monster, over ten zhang in size, floated in the sea ahead.

It was a black and white orca.

Unlike ordinary sea monsters that roam aimlessly, it hovered quietly in the water, its scarlet vertical pupils revealing a cunning and rationality completely different from that of ordinary beasts.

That wisp of demonic energy emanated from its body.

Li Yuan slowly emerged from behind the cliff, without deliberately concealing his aura.

The demonic energy fluctuations of the late-stage Golden Core cultivator were particularly conspicuous in the deep sea.

The orca suddenly turned its body, its scarlet eyes fixed on Li Yuan. The surrounding seawater was stirred up by its massive body, forming a strong undercurrent.

Unexpectedly, the third-tier demon beast did not immediately launch an attack.

A low rumble came from the orca's belly, followed by a slightly awkward yet strange divine sense transmission in Li Yuan's mind.

"Is there a token?"

The monster spoke human language.

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes.

It's not unusual for a third-tier demon beast to develop intelligence, but it's abnormal for a demon beast to directly ask a human cultivator for a token.

Based on the demonic energy emanating from it, Li Yuan instantly made a deduction.

"What is the token?"

Li Yuan remained calm, but the demonic core within his body had already begun to operate wildly.

"If you don't talk, I'll kill you."

The oppressive aura of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, imbued with pure demonic energy, slammed into the orca without reservation.

The currents in the deep sea stopped instantly.

The orca's scarlet eyes widened suddenly, and its pupils contracted sharply.

Its massive body trembled violently under this oppressive force, instinctively shrinking back and emitting a low, terrified groan.

The orca's telepathic communication became frantic, "It's a deal! A demonic cultivator wants to make a deal with us!"

Li Yuan toned down his imposing aura slightly. "What kind of deal?"

"We're looking for ley lines!" The orca dared not hide anything. "A few months ago, a demonic cultivation group found us, a few sea monsters who had awakened their intelligence, and gave us something imbued with demonic energy as a token."

"They told us to find the location of the seabed veins in the deep sea. Once we found them, we could notify them with a token and exchange it for special elixirs for demonic beasts and various precious herbs."

Li Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Searching for seabed veins.

Earth veins and spiritual veins are different; they are the foundation of a land.

As for which of the three unknown demonic forces it was, the orca clearly didn't know. It was just a beast that did things for a benefit.

"Do you know where there are spiritual veins?" Li Yuan asked casually, looking at it.

"I know! I know!" The orca nodded repeatedly, its massive body swaying restlessly in the current.
