Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Chapter 530 Preparations for Qingyuan

While waiting for the main materials to arrive, Li Yuan didn't idle around.

In the alchemy chamber behind the secluded cultivation room, the spiritual energy circulation of the three arrays operated smoothly. The alchemy fire temperature control array maintained a stable temperature field in the center of the chamber, the spiritual energy purification array raised the quality of the spiritual energy in the room to a higher level, and the spherical spiritual energy field of the danyuan stabilization array floated quietly in the preset position.

Li Yuan set up the alchemy furnace and took out the materials for the Heavenly Origin Pill.

The main ingredients for Qingyuan Pill haven't arrived yet, but the coordination between the formation and the pill refining needs to be practiced beforehand. Tianyuan Pill is a third-tier low-grade pill with a well-developed formula, making it perfect for testing and verifying the formation.

The fire in the furnace rose.

After mastering the Blazing Sun Bright Fire Technique, the connection between the spiritual energy path and the alchemical fire was smoother than expected. The multi-layered nested structure of the Blazing Sun Bright Fire Technique is naturally suitable for controlling fire in alchemy. The core layer regulates the output frequency of fire-type spiritual energy, while the open interface of the outer layer can be embedded with the spiritual energy circuit of the Fire Control Technique. With the two spells operating simultaneously, the temperature precision of the alchemical fire has been improved by more than one level.

The blessing of the Array Dao Heavenly Pivot makes the coordination between the spiritual energy circulation of the alchemy array and the alchemy furnace extremely precise. There is no conflict between the array fire, the alchemy fire, and the supply of spiritual energy. The flow of spiritual energy between the array and the alchemy furnace is like a set of meshing gears, with each link fitting together perfectly.

A batch of Heavenly Origin Pills was successfully produced.

The quality is stable and the grain is clear.

He took out the Core of the Fire Array from his personal space and held it in his palm.

The condition for making the Danhuo Array Eye permanent is to complete the refining of fifteen batches of third-tier pills, and the first batch has now been completed.

After collecting the pills, he did not leave the stone chamber, but continued to circulate the Blazing Sun Bright Fire Technique.

The continuous use of fire-type spiritual energy during alchemy is itself the best way to cultivate the Blazing Sun Bright Fire Technique. Controlling the temperature of the alchemical fire requires extremely precise regulation of the frequency of fire-type spiritual energy output. The precision required for this regulation is far higher than the rough output in combat. It is equivalent to repeatedly refining the spiritual energy path of the Blazing Sun Bright Fire Technique under high intensity.

The doubling of proficiency improvement speed after permanentizing the practice of all methods is extremely evident here.

The spiritual energy path of the Blazing Sun Bright Fire Technique transitioned from being clumsy to smooth, and then from smooth to being able to be used at will during alchemy without needing to devote extra energy.

Mastered the Blazing Sun and Bright Fire Technique.

During his time refining pills and cultivating, Li Yuan also completed several tasks assigned by the Tianyue Sect.

These are mostly low- to medium-risk administrative tasks, primarily reconnaissance and surveying. The investigation of the remaining demonic cultivator sentries in northern Liangzhou...

Supplementary surveys of the terrain surrounding the newly built market town, and tracking of smuggling routes along the Yunzhou border.

During the mission, Li Yuan noticed a change.

The frequency of Yuan Yang Sect disciples appearing has increased significantly.

After the two Golden Core elders of Yuan Yang Sect led their disciples to merge with Tian Yue Sect, their movement restrictions were lifted, and a large number of disciples who had previously been trapped inside the sect poured into various markets and wilderness areas. Most of them were young disciples in the Qi Refining and early Foundation Establishment stages, with low cultivation levels and limited resources. Their purpose in wandering around was clear: to find work and earn spirit stones.

Some set up stalls in the market selling homemade low-level pills and talismans, some took on low-level quests, and others went directly to the wild to hunt monsters and sell materials. The destruction of the Yuan Yang Sect deprived these disciples of the sect's resources, leaving them with no choice but to fend for themselves.

Li Yuan didn't pay much attention, but he did make a note of the trend.

The final task was to track a small smuggling route that stretched from western Liangzhou to Yunzhou. The smuggled goods were mainly unregistered magical cultivation supplies; the scale was small, but the route was well-hidden.

Li Yuan checked the marked points along the smuggling route one by one and found the smuggling base in a mountain pass at the border of Liangzhou and Yunzhou.

Only one late-stage Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator remained to guard the stronghold.

When Li Yuan landed at the entrance of the mountain pass, the demonic cultivator was dozing against the stone wall. Sensing the fluctuation of spiritual energy, he suddenly opened his eyes. After seeing that there was only one person, his first reaction was not to run away, but to draw the short sword from his waist.

"Where did this rogue cultivator come from, courting death?"

The demonic energy of the late Foundation Establishment stage condensed on the short sword and slashed towards Li Yuan.

Li Yuan dodged to the side, extending his right hand and condensing a fine, dark golden thread of spiritual energy. The thread wrapped around the demonic cultivator's wrist, and with a tightening of spiritual energy, the short sword slipped from his grasp.

He then slapped the demonic cultivator in the chest.

His spiritual power was controlled at the late Foundation Establishment stage, just enough to send his opponent flying and crashing into the stone wall, without causing a fatal injury.

The demonic cultivator scrambled to his feet, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth, his arrogance completely gone. Just as he was about to speak, Li Yuan's second palm struck.

The palm strike landed squarely on the demonic cultivator's chest. The late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator didn't even have time to struggle before his spiritual energy shield was eroded and disintegrated, leaving him limp on the ground.

Severe damage.

A panel pops up.

The conditions for permanentization of the Bone-Eating Cold Front (Green) have been met.

【Condition: Kill or severely injure three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators √ (3/3)】

【The term "Corrosive Cold Edge (Green)" has become a permanent entry.】

The Shadowy Dagger in the personal space shattered and dissipated.

A scene flashed into my mind.

In the dimly lit basement, a gaunt-faced demonic cultivator immersed a short dagger in a vat of black liquid. The liquid churned and bubbled, emitting a pungent, corrosive odor. The dagger remained submerged for seven days and seven nights; when it was removed, a thin layer of dark patterns had formed on the blade.

The demonic cultivator made a cut on his arm with a short dagger. The edges of the wound immediately turned black, and demonic energy spread rapidly along the blood vessels. The demonic cultivator remained calm, and with a press of spiritual power in his left hand, the erosion was suppressed.

The image disappeared.

Permanent effect of Bone-Corroding Cold Edge: Magic attacks are permanently inflicted with demonic energy erosion, with the erosion effect doubled on cultivators below the Golden Core stage.

Li Yuan cleaned up the demonic cultivator who was sprawled on the ground, searched the storage bag for the smuggled goods list, and then marked the location of the stronghold on the mission document.

Return to Fogwood Town after completing the mission.

The number of people in the market was significantly higher than half a month ago. After news of the Tianyue Sect's expansion in Liangzhou spread, independent cultivators and small merchant caravans from the surrounding areas began to gather in the markets within the Tianyue Sect's sphere of influence. As Li Yuan's base, the Misty Forest Market had a good location, excellent defensive formations, and a wide variety of goods, making it quite attractive.

Xu Zhang's daily patrols and Ji Wenyuan's business negotiations were both operating smoothly.

Li Yuan returned to his secluded room and sat down cross-legged.

Activate the Soul Condensation and Consciousness Control Technique.

The cultivation of the third-tier mid-grade Divine Soul Technique has progressed significantly under the doubling effect of the permanent "Ten Thousand Laws Practice True" effect. With each cultivation session after entering the initial stage, one can feel the strength of the Divine Soul slowly but steadily increasing, and the precision of controlling the Divine Sense Threads is also improving. The passive bonuses from the fusion attributes "Soul Essence Return to Truth" and "Iron Wall of Divine Soul" make the foundation of Divine Soul cultivation extremely solid. The Soul Condensation and Consciousness Control Technique continues to advance on this basis, with efficiency far exceeding that of ordinary cultivators starting from scratch.

Practicing the Soul Condensation and Consciousness Control Technique for two hours every day has become a fixed daily routine.

The essence and blood of one's natal magical artifact continue to nourish it. With one drop of essence and blood added daily, the fusion between the artifact's internal patterns and the essence and blood deepens, and the process of permanent assimilation of its origin advances day by day.
