Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Chapter 520 Tianyue Sect Contribution Exchange

After delivering the evidence for the Lingzhou mission, Li Yuan didn't rest and immediately took on the second mission.

The mission is to clear out the remaining stronghold of demonic cultivators in an abandoned mine in northwestern Liangzhou. After the Demonic Sect's influence around the Yuanyang Sect dwindled, some of the wandering demonic cultivators fled to remote mining areas to hide, and the Tianyue Sect needs someone to clean it up.

Li Yuan cleared out the stronghold in less than half a day, seizing all evidence of the demonic cultivators' activities and their remaining supplies.

The third task was to investigate a smuggling route for demonic cultivator supplies on the border of Yunzhou and mark hidden strongholds along the way. It involved more errands than actual combat.

During the mission, Li Yuan studied the three second-tier demonic cultivation spells he had purchased from the Lingzhou market one by one: an offensive demonic energy piercing spell, a defensive demonic shield condensation spell, and an auxiliary demonic energy guiding spell. The principles of these three spells posed little challenge to his mid-stage Golden Core cultivation after achieving spiritual and demonic unity. With the accelerated learning speed of the Myriad Laws Practice and the passive bonus of increased comprehension, he could master each spell in just half a day.

All three second-tier demonic cultivation techniques have been mastered.

The accumulated contribution points are enough to exchange for the Space Search Technique.

Li Yuan returned to Wulin Market and headed straight for the Tianyue Sect mission point.

The task handover was completed quickly. The Tianyue Sect disciple in charge of settlement calculated the contribution points for the three tasks and entered the total into Li Yuan's contribution voucher.

"Exchange Space Search Technique"

The Tianyue Sect disciple flipped through the exchange catalog, checked it, and after confirming that he had enough contribution points, took out a jade slip from the storage cabinet behind the counter.

The jade tablet is three inches long, pale blue in color, and covered with a layer of extremely fine spiritual patterns. These spiritual patterns are not records of the spells themselves, but rather patterns inherent to the material on which the jade tablet is made, used to protect the internal information from damage or alteration.

Li Yuan accepted the jade slip.

The moment the fingertips touched, a flash of white light appeared.

[Equipable item detected: Spatial Discovery Jade Slip (Complete)]

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Clear and Bright Pattern (White)]

[Effect: Information extraction speed from jade slips increased by 30%]

White text. Originates from the jade slip itself, not from the recorded spell content.

White entries are made permanent.

The "Book Pattern Qingming (White)" has become a permanent entry.

After it was put into his sleeve, a flash of white light appeared at his fingertips.

The entire content of the Spatial Search Technique had been completely transmitted to the divine sense before it shattered. The hidden information after the scroll's patterns became clear and permanent was a scene of a scribe inscribing information on a jade slip; it contained nothing of great value.

The spell is in hand.

Li Yuan returned to his secluded chamber and closed the stone door.

Li Yuan began studying spatial exploration techniques.

The core mechanism of spatial tracing is to release spiritual energy into the void, resonate with the residual fluctuations in the void at a specific frequency, and trace the source and location of the fluctuations.

The learning of Wanfa Xizhen accelerates, the spatial spell effects of Lingmo Kongna increase by 30%, the spatial perception of Youkong Canyun is enhanced, and the spatial perception is permanently increased. With these four superimposed effects, the speed of mastering spells is extremely fast.

Half a day later, Li Yuan opened his eyes.

Spatial exploration techniques, beginner's guide.

Next is the verification.

Li Yuan activated the Spatial Searching Technique, releasing spiritual energy from his fingertips at a specific frequency, which then spread into the void surrounding the secluded cultivation room.

First, check your storage bag.

No response.

The storage bag's interior is a closed, miniature spatial structure with a complete isolation layer between it and the outside void, preventing the spiritual energy fluctuations of spatial searching techniques from penetrating it.

Further explore the personal space of its own terminology system.

There was no response.

The last item.

Li Yuan raised his right hand, concentrating his spiritual power in his palm and circulating the spiritual power path of the Sky-Splitting Slash. However, he did not release the blade's light; instead, he tore open an extremely thin spatial rift in front of his palm. The rift closed on its own after only two breaths.

Then he activated the Space Searching Technique.

A very faint residual fluctuation appeared in my perception.

The location was precise, just three feet in front of the palm. Although the crack had closed, a faint crease remained in the void, like ripples left after a stone is thrown into water, slowly dissipating.

It can be sensed.

Spatial Seeking can track the traces of spatial spells. Cracks, teleportation, and solidification—anything that has caused a change in the void will leave a residue. These residues will gradually dissipate over time, but the shorter the time and the stronger the spell, the clearer and longer the residue will be.

Based on this calculation, if a storage space created by an ancient cultivator using a spatial shaping spell is left unclaimed after the caster's death, the spiritual energy seal of the sealed space will gradually weaken. During the weakening process, it will continuously release fluctuations into the void, becoming increasingly easier to detect with spatial searching techniques over time.

However, the contents stored inside will be continuously destroyed during this process.

The premise for finding the definite space is that it actually exists within the detection range.

The scope is limited, so we need to search slowly. But at least the path has been established.

Verification complete, Li Yuan finished his work.

He took out the main ingredient of Qingyuan Pill, which was a reward from the Lingzhou mission, as well as the auxiliary ingredients he had prepared beforehand, from his personal space.

The main ingredient is a pale golden spirit fruit pit, about the size of a fist, with a translucent spiritual energy membrane covering its surface. The spirit fruit pit is extremely rich in spiritual energy and of excellent quality.

The auxiliary materials have been gathered and are all placed on the stone platform.

Light the alchemy furnace.

The formula for Qingyuan Pill had already been refined once before. The gray-robed cultivator had gone through the entire process when he commissioned the refinement, and he knew every step of the formula by heart. At the level of proficiency in third-tier alchemy, coupled with the harmonious combination of medicinal ingredients and a thorough understanding of alchemical principles...

The combined bonuses from the three permanent attributes of the Elixir Fire Refinement made the refining process smoother than before.

During the initial stage of refining the medicinal properties of the spirit fruit kernel, the three temperature changes of the alchemical fire were completed in one smooth motion, without the slightest hesitation. The fusion efficiency of the medicinal liquid was extremely high during the middle stage of condensing the pill. The final stage of collecting the pill was clean and efficient.

The lid of the alchemy furnace was lifted.

A dark cyan pill lay at the bottom of the furnace, with a thin layer of spiritual patterns flowing on its surface. Its quality was even higher than the one that had been refined on behalf of someone else.

Made by myself.

Li Yuan took out the pill and placed it in his palm.

Blue light appeared.

A panel pops up.

[Equipable item detected: Qingyuan Pill (Complete)]

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Pure Essence (Blue)]

[Effect: Increases the efficiency of fusing various types of spiritual energy by 30%; increases the maximum spiritual energy by 30%]

[Preview of Permanentization Conditions: Successfully refine ten batches of the same type of Tier 3 pills consecutively without any failures (0/10)]

[Current equipment slot is full (5/5). Replace current equipment?]

Blue entries.

The effect is excellent.

The condition for permanent success is to successfully refine ten batches of the same type of Tier 3 pills without a single failure. With the current Tier 3 proficient alchemy level and attribute bonuses, the success rate is very high, but ten consecutive batches without failure require patience and stability.

Li Yuan got up and pushed open the stone door of the seclusion room.
