Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

The deep sea is dark and the water pressure is like a mountain.

Following the route remembered by the orca, Li Yuan traversed the dark underwater canyons. After more than half an hour, Li Yuan stopped at the bottom of a rock formation riddled with massive trenches.

The seawater ahead faintly glowed with an extremely weak blue light, and the concentration of spiritual energy was much higher than that of the surrounding area.

The spiritual veins do indeed exist.

Li Yuan activated the "Pulse-Stripping" ability in his equipment inventory. A soft blue light shot out from his palm, precisely piercing the seabed rock layer and transforming into a net of light that firmly enveloped the main trunk of the underground spiritual vein.

The rock strata trembled.

A miniature water-based spiritual vein was completely extracted, instantly rolled into the personal space, and then integrated into the spiritual vein circulation within the body.

The process was executed with practiced ease. Li Yuan didn't linger, continuing forward along the earth's veins, and found the second miniature water-based spiritual vein a dozen miles away.

Following the prescribed method, two miniature spiritual veins entered the body, further strengthening the circulation of spiritual energy within.

After obtaining the spiritual vein, Li Yuan did not linger. His figure moved like lightning, rapidly traversing the upward ocean current, and half a day later, he emerged from the water, returning to the outer islands of Kunpeng.

The streets on the island were even busier than they had been a few days ago.

Li Yuan walked along the wide stone path, where a huge plaza ahead was crowded with cultivators. Several disciples dressed in the robes of the Tianyue Sect were standing on a high platform, loudly proclaiming something.

"Tianyue Sect is recruiting second- and third-tier or higher formation masters at high prices. The rewards are generous and paid daily."

"We urgently need a large quantity of spatial array materials such as Void Stones and Boundary Sand. If you have any, bring them directly. We will buy them at 20% above the market price."

Li Yuan stood on the periphery of the crowd, listening to the discussions among the scattered cultivators around him.

"The Tianyue Sect is really going all out this time, actually planning to build an ultra-long-distance teleportation array here." A middle-aged cultivator exclaimed in amazement.

"I heard it's built right up to the vicinity of the main branch of the Tianyue Sect, and it's been completed for a while," another person said in a low voice. "But it seems there's been a bit of a problem with their project."

"What went wrong?"

"The core array was mostly in place. But recently, there have been disturbances in the seabed strata, and the terrain of the island's spiritual veins has changed. This has resulted in the actual teleportation array needed being much larger than expected," the man explained.

"We're currently short on materials and manpower. However, the core formation has already been set up by Tianyue Sect's own people. We're just recruiting formation masters to set up the outer auxiliary formations."

Li Yuan's gaze flickered slightly after hearing this.

The patriarch of the Tianyue Sect is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and at this critical juncture, he has embarked on a massive construction project, spending a fortune to build an ultra-long-distance teleportation array that directly connects to the sect. This kind of array consumes a huge amount of spirit stones, and apart from transporting extremely critical strategic materials or mobilizing large numbers of people, it is impossible to recoup the costs.

Li Yuan had no immediate interest in joining the Tianyue Sect's array repair project. He turned and left the plaza, heading towards the area selling books and spells.

As Li Yuan passed a grocery stall, a yellowed old book caught his attention.

The Art of Water Transport.

Li Yuan picked it up and glanced at it. It was an extremely niche water-based auxiliary spell. After casting it, it could subtly adjust the direction of the surrounding water currents for a short period of time, thereby slightly increasing one's luck in aquatic environments.

No entries are flashing.

Li Yuan still took out a few spirit stones to buy it. Among the inheritance he had obtained in the Octopus Cave was a talisman-making technique called Water Transport Talisman.

Back at the inn, Li Yuan activated the defensive formation.

Li Yuan didn't rush to practice his magic. Instead, he took out his talisman-making tools. With the Cleansing Talisman Brush in hand, he dipped it in specially made talisman ink, and spiritual energy flowed slowly from the tip of the brush onto the blank talisman paper.

The beginner level three talisman-making technique is a smooth and effortless process.

A moment later, he stopped writing.

A talisman emitting a faint blue light lay quietly on the table. Water Transport Talisman, complete.

Within a three-foot radius, the entry perception is triggered.

[Effect: Increases luck by 10%; the deeper one's cultivation of water-based techniques, the better the effect, up to a maximum of 30%]

[Preview of Permanentization Conditions: Successfully create one hundred Water Transport Talismans using your own hand-drawn style and use them all.]

The luck-boosting entry, though only green, can be enough to change the situation at certain crucial moments.

Then, Li Yuan's gaze fell on the "Water Transport Techniques" he had just bought.

Talismans, in essence, solidify the spiritual energy of spells onto talisman paper. There must be an underlying correspondence between water-based talismans and water-based spells. Fireball talismans correspond to fireball spells, and ice cone talismans correspond to ice cone spells.

Since talismans and spells share the same origin, is it possible to deduce the corresponding spells from known talismans?

Once the thought crossed my mind, I couldn't suppress it any longer.

Li Yuan got up and left the inn, returning to the market.

Li Yuan spent half a day searching through various shops and stalls, buying more than a dozen low-level spell manuals. These included several spells, such as Fire Arrow Spell and Golden Knife Spell, which corresponded to the talismans he already knew.

Back at the inn, Li Yuan sat down cross-legged.

I read through all the spells I had previously purchased.

Li Yuan took out a talisman he had drawn himself and placed it in front of him. Li Yuan was already very familiar with the drawing techniques of talismans, but he did not have the cultivation method for the art of guiding people.

Li Yuan closed his eyes, and twelve powerful spiritual lines split off, simultaneously simulating the spiritual energy circulation of the guiding talisman in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The blue entry for "Wanfa Xizhen" is operating at full capacity.

His mind was clear. The complex cinnabar patterns on the talisman began to peel away and deconstruct in Li Yuan's eyes, transforming into pure spiritual energy circulation routes.

Li Yuan compared these routes with the samples of talismans and techniques he had just purchased.

By identifying patterns and eliminating the solidified nodes required for the talisman paper to act as a carrier, the original flow trajectory of the spell within the body's meridians can be restored.

This is an extremely mentally taxing and violent dismantling process. Without the powerful foundation of twelve divine sense lines and the high bonus of the terms, ordinary cultivators might not even be able to grasp the basics even after a hundred years.

Half a day later.

Li Yuan opened his eyes, his right hand forming a sword finger, and his spiritual energy rapidly circulated through his meridians along the newly deduced route.

A faint white light appeared at my fingertips.

The white light shot out, spun around in mid-air, and then steadily pointed towards the direction where the spiritual energy was most concentrated in the center of the island.

The derivation was successful.

[Mastering Spells: Guiding the Way (Beginner)]

A glint of light flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.

This path is viable. This means that as long as he has mastered the method of drawing a certain talisman, even without the corresponding spell manual, Li Yuan can forcibly restore it to a spell through his own deduction.

He forcefully smashed through the barrier between magic and talismans.

Of course, the Guiding Technique is of a lower grade; a higher-grade talisman would definitely take longer.

Li Yuan studied it carefully again and found that it was more difficult to deduce talismans from spells than to deduce spells from talismans.

Talismans have a fixed form, but spells vary slightly depending on how each person uses them.

Li Yuan didn't stop. Instead, he struck while the iron was hot, picked up the Fire Arrow Technique on the table, and prepared to learn the basics of it.

Recalling the structure of the Fire Arrow Talisman in his mind, and combining it with the incantation in the manual, a highly condensed and sharp flame took shape at his fingertips in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Fire Arrow Technique: Beginner

With the blessing of Wanfa Xizhen, the learning speed is terrifying.

Time flew by during the deduction and practice.

Li Yuan practiced the purchased spells one by one, rapidly expanding his magical reserves. He could feel that as the types of spells and talismans he mastered increased, the benefits of mastering all spells were also slowly but surely increasing.
