Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Chapter 531 Primordial Spirit Pool

That afternoon, Li Yuan took a stroll around the main street of the market.

The number of shops in Misty Forest Market has nearly doubled compared to six months ago, with most of the newly opened shops concentrated in the eastern side alleys and the expanded southern area. One of them is run by a newly moved-in talisman master from out of town, whose stall displays various second-tier talismans.

Li Yuan paused in front of the shop.

A talisman in the corner of the stall caught his attention. The talisman paper was of average quality, but the spiritual patterns on it were quite interesting. It was an auxiliary talisman, its function being to temporarily stabilize the furnace temperature during weapon forging. The core structure of the spiritual patterns was to seal fire-type spiritual energy into the talisman paper and then continuously output it in a slow-release manner, maintaining a constant temperature range.

It is called the Fire-Igniting and Furnace-Stabilizing Talisman.

Li Yuan bought it, returned to his secluded room, took out the talisman paper and spirit ink, and began to study it.

The core spirit rune adopts the spirit power path framework of the Blazing Sun Bright Fire Technique, extracting the core frequency control layer from the multi-layered nested structure and simplifying it into a planar spirit rune suitable for the talisman paper. The outer spirit rune is responsible for outputting the fire-type spirit power sealed in the talisman paper towards the alchemy furnace at a constant frequency, resonating with the alchemy fire to lock the temperature range.

The instinctive precision gained from permanent Ink Spirit Control makes drawing spirit patterns extremely smooth. The passive bonuses of "Skillful Brushstrokes" and "Enhanced Spirit Ink" work together, ensuring that the thickness and direction of each ink line are perfected in one go.

The permanent attributes of the array symbols play a role in this cross-domain talisman design, and the intersection of array thinking and talisman thinking makes the arrangement of spirit patterns more reasonable.

The first sample piece is complete.

The spiritual runes on the talisman turned slightly red after the spiritual power was injected, and the fire-type spiritual power began to be slowly released along the spiritual rune circuits. The frequency of the output was extremely stable, and the fluctuation range was controlled within a very small range.

Li Yuan placed the talisman next to the alchemy furnace to test it.

A slight resonance occurred between the fire-elemental spiritual energy in the talisman and the pill fire, smoothing out the temperature fluctuations of the pill fire.

Available.

A talisman for igniting and stabilizing the furnace.

A slight warmth came from my fingertips, and a green light appeared.

[Equipable item detected: Ignite and Stabilize Furnace Charm (Complete)]

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Fiery Ink Traction (Green)]

[Effect: Increases the stability of the connection between fire-type runes and alchemical fire by 30%]

[Preview of Permanentization Conditions: Use this talisman to assist in completing five batches of Tier 3 pills (0/5)]

Green entries.

The conditions for permanent enhancement can be accumulated without equipment, progressing naturally as a physical aid in the alchemy process. Equipping items would cause the talisman paper to disappear, rendering it unusable.

Do not equip for now; retain the physical item.

Over the next two weeks, the main materials for Qingyuan Dan, acquired through the three acquisitions, arrived one after another.

The Tianyue Sect exchanged five spirit fruit cores, all of consistent quality. The Mingyuan Chamber of Commerce purchased five more, one of which was slightly below expectations but still within acceptable limits.

A total of ten spirit fruit cores were collected before even reaching the sea, and with the auxiliary materials already prepared, it was enough to support ten consecutive batches of refining.

Li Yuan handed over the details of the material exchange in the three markets to Ji Wenyuan and Xu Zhang one by one. The first batch of materials for the northern new market had arrived, the construction of the central and southern districts was in its final stages, and the site selection for the western market was temporarily suspended.

After everything was arranged, Li Yuan closed the stone door of the seclusion room.

He took out the cloth bag containing the Enlightenment Tree tea leaves from his personal space, took out a tea leaf and put it into a cup, then poured in water.

Li Yuan picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

The frequency of enlightenment resonance spread throughout his consciousness, and the clarity of his thinking suddenly increased to a new level. His perception of the circulation of spiritual energy, his understanding of the principles of magic, and his grasp of the logic behind each step of the alchemy formula all became much more acute.

Enter the alchemy chamber.

The spiritual energy circulation of the three-part formation operated smoothly, and the blessing of the Array Dao Heavenly Pivot made the operation status of the entire formation clear.

The talisman for igniting and stabilizing the furnace was affixed to the side wall of the alchemy furnace. After spiritual power was injected, the fire-type spiritual patterns began to slowly release their output.

The first spiritual fruit pit was placed into the alchemy furnace.

As the alchemical fire rose, the spiritual energy path of the Blazing Sun Bright Fire Technique connected with it. The fire-based spiritual energy of the Ignition and Stabilization Furnace Talisman resonated with the alchemical fire, locking the temperature range within an extremely narrow fluctuation range.

Refining the medicinal properties of the spirit fruit kernel.

The temperature of the alchemical fire changed three times in one smooth motion. The medicinal properties of the spirit fruit kernel were fully extracted, and the golden liquid surged within the furnace. The auxiliary ingredients were added one by one, and the fusion process was extremely smooth thanks to the permanent blessing of the alchemical principles. The fusion rhythm of each auxiliary ingredient with the main ingredient was perfectly controlled.

Condensing the Pill. The spherical spiritual energy field of the Pill Essence Stabilization Array takes shape above the pill furnace, enveloping the condensing pill within it, with spiritual energy applying even pressure from all directions.

Collect the elixir.

The lid of the alchemy furnace was lifted, revealing a dark blue pill lying at the bottom, its patterns clear and of excellent quality.

The first batch was a success.

Without pausing, they immediately began the second batch.

The second spirit fruit core was placed into the alchemy furnace, and the process was repeated. The fire-type spiritual energy output of the ignition and furnace-stabilizing talisman remained stable, and the energy consumption for controlling the temperature of the alchemical fire was much lower than when the talisman was not used, allowing more attention to be focused on the crucial steps of fusion of medicinal liquids and condensation of the pill.

The second batch was a success.

The third batch was a success.

The fourth batch was a success.

During the ninth furnace, Li Yuan noticed a change in himself.

The experience gained from refining nine batches of third-tier pills was rapidly transformed under the comprehension speed boost from Wudao Qingming and the doubled learning speed from Wanfa Xizhen. His understanding of the principles of pill formulas transitioned from knowing what to do to knowing why, his control of the pill fire transitioned from precise manipulation to instinctive reaction, and his prediction of changes in medicinal properties during the fusion of medicinal liquids transitioned from passive perception to active guidance.

The moment the ninth batch of pills was collected, the art of alchemy reached a breakthrough.

Mastery of third-order alchemy.

The tenth furnace.

The last spiritual fruit pit was thrown into the alchemy furnace.

The entire refining process flowed smoothly. The masterful alchemy, combined with the cumulative bonuses from all the attributes, resulted in a perfect blend of alchemical fire, medicinal liquid, and...

The three stages of condensing the elixir are seamlessly connected.

Collect the elixir.

The furnace lid was lifted, and the tenth dark blue pill lay quietly at the bottom. The patterns on the pill were clearer and finer than the previous nine, making it the highest quality among the ten batches.

A panel pops up.

The conditions for permanent Qingyuan Condensation (Blue) have been met.

【Condition: Successfully refine ten batches of the same type of Tier 3 pills consecutively without any failures √ (10/10)】

【Qingyuan Ninghua (Blue) has become a permanent entry】

The last Qingyuan Pill shattered and dissipated in his palm.

A scene flashed into my mind.

In a grand alchemy chamber, an old man with white eyebrows sat in front of the alchemy furnace.

The alchemy furnace was enormous, its surface covered with densely packed alchemical patterns. The fire within was a pale gold color, unlike the fiery, pulsating fire of ordinary alchemy, but rather as calm as the surface of water.

Seven kinds of spiritual materials were laid out in front of the old man. The properties of the seven materials clashed with each other, and according to common sense, they could not be put into one furnace at the same time for refining.

But the old man raised his hand, and all seven spiritual materials were simultaneously thrown into the alchemy furnace.

The medicinal properties exploded within the alchemy furnace. Seven distinctly different elemental energies collided and churned, causing the medicinal liquid to boil.

The old man closed his eyes, his hands hovering above the alchemy furnace. Spiritual energy surged from his ten fingers, weaving an extremely complex network of spiritual energy isolation within the furnace, separating the seven medicinal properties while guiding them to gradually fuse in a specific order and proportion.

The timing of each fusion step was precise to the extreme.

The moment the two most incompatible medicinal properties were forcibly fused, a ring of pale golden spiritual patterns condensed in the air above the alchemy furnace. These patterns weren't engraved; rather, they were a product of the perfect fusion of medicinal properties at the instant the pill was formed, spontaneously condensing in the void.

A flood of insights into the interaction of medicinal properties in alchemy entered Li Yuan's mind.

The image disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, a second panel popped up.

The conditions for permanent implementation of the Fire Ink Traction (Green) system have been met.

[Fire and Ink Traction (Green) has become a permanent entry]

The talisman for igniting and stabilizing the furnace on the side wall of the alchemy furnace shattered and dissipated.

A scene flashed into my mind. A talisman master was affixing a self-made fire-elemental auxiliary talisman next to an alchemy furnace. The flow of spiritual energy between the fire-elemental runes on the talisman and the alchemical fire was extremely smooth, and the temperature fluctuations of the alchemical fire were compressed to almost zero. The talisman master had a smile on his face, clearly very skilled in this method of combining talismans and alchemy.

The image disappeared.

After completing the two permanent transformations, Li Yuan finished his training and emerged from seclusion.

Subsequently, several permanent entries in the sea of ​​consciousness began to tremble simultaneously.

Pure Source Condensation, Spiritual Essence Expansion, Spiritual Essence Expansion, Spiritual Essence Condensation, Spiritual Essence Refinement, Spiritual Power Condensation, Demonic Qi Condensation.

The spiritual energy fluctuations of the seven terms intertwined, and the frequency of their resonance increased.

Entry fusion.

A moment later, a purple light condensed and took shape in his sea of ​​consciousness.

[Entry merging complete]

[Pure Source Essence (Blue) + Spiritual Essence Expansion (White) + Spiritual Essence Replenishment (Green) + Spiritual Essence Condensation (Green) + Spiritual Essence Refinement (Green) + Spiritual Power Condensation (Green) + Demonic Energy Condensation (Green) → Primordial Spirit Pool (Purple)]

[Effects: After the Spirit-Demon Fusion Pill is combined, the total spiritual power capacity is greatly increased; the output of the Spirit-Demon Fusion is extremely stable; the spiritual power consumption for casting is reduced by 30%; and the quality of spiritual power is further purified.]

The purple light sank into the dantian.

A faint purple halo appeared on the surface of the dark golden core, which slowly faded after a few breaths and merged into the spiral patterns inside the core.

Change is instantaneous.

The spiritual energy capacity in the dantian suddenly expanded dramatically the moment the purple light merged in. The spiritual energy reserves, which were already extremely abundant due to the breakthrough to the late stage of the Golden Core realm, surged again under the blessing of the Primordial Spirit Pool. The feeling of spiritual energy flowing through the meridians changed from solid to bottomless, like a wide river with an additional dark lake beneath it.

The output stability of the spirit-demon fusion has also undergone a qualitative change. Previously, the spiral structure of the late Golden Core stage had already eliminated the slight deviation during output, and the Primordial Spirit Pool has pushed the stability to a new level on this basis. When spiritual power surges out of the Golden Core, the ratio of spirit to demon no longer fluctuates, and the output is like a straight line.

Li Yuan circulated his spiritual energy for a complete cycle.

The spiritual energy consumption during prolonged operation is much lower than before. Previously, after completing 108 cycles, about 20% of the spiritual energy in the dantian would be consumed, but now, for the same number of cycles, less than 15% is consumed.

The purification of spiritual energy quality is more subtle yet equally precise. The trace amounts of impurities remaining in the spiritual energy are automatically filtered out under the continuous operation of the Primordial Spirit Pool, and the quality slowly but steadily improves.

With the blessing of the Primordial Spirit Pool, the foundation of the late-stage Golden Core cultivator suddenly thickened. The spiritual energy reserves were extremely abundant, which could support high-intensity spellcasting for a longer period of time and large-scale spiritual energy consumption.

Li Yuan slowly finished his practice and opened his eyes.
