Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Chapter 546 Sea Alliance Mining Branch

Li Yuan did not leave the sea area, but instead arrived at the Sea Alliance stronghold according to the token message.

Complete the routine tasks first.

The first phase of mining yielded good profits, and the quality met expectations. The profit distribution was carried out according to the previously agreed proportions, with those who contributed more receiving the lion's share, and Li Yuan's share was among the top. After confirming that there were no objections, several documents were signed and sealed, and the profits were settled.

As the routine business concluded and the chairman was about to adjourn the meeting, Li Yuan spoke up.

"There's something I need to say while everyone's here."

The president glanced at him, signaling him to continue.

"During the last attack on the monster stronghold, I patrolled the perimeter. In the deep sea area southeast of the stronghold, I discovered a large-scale monster gathering point."

There was a moment of silence in the council chamber.

"What scale?" asked the cultivator surnamed Zhao, who was in the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

"There are suspected fourth-tier auras, more than ten third-tier demonic beasts, dozens of second-tier beasts, and even more first-tier beasts. They are distributed in an organized manner, not scattered wild, more like an alliance." Li Yuan's tone was calm, as if he were talking about something ordinary. "I won't reveal the specific location for now, just to let everyone know."

Several Golden Core cultivators looked at each other in bewilderment.

The guild leader frowned: "Fourth-tier aura, and over ten third-tier beasts?"

"At least."

The atmosphere in the council chamber changed, and many people looked tense.

"We need to report this to the Kunpeng Alliance," the guild leader concluded. "A gathering point of demonic beasts of this size is a death sentence for anyone who goes there."

"The problem is that the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Kunpeng Alliance is currently not here," the cultivator surnamed Zhao added. "The Nascent Soul Ceremony of the Tianyue Sect is still underway, and the Nascent Soul senior from the Kunpeng Alliance has gone to the Tianyue Mountains to protect the Dharma, so he won't be back for a while."

The president made the decision: "Let's settle on this for now and wait for the Kunpeng Alliance's reply before proceeding to the next step."

The meeting adjourned.

The cultivators left the council hall in twos and threes, some returning to their secluded meditation rooms, and others wandering around the trading area near the stronghold.

Although the alliance's stronghold is not large, it is always occupied by rogue cultivators who have reached the Golden Core stage. The small-scale trading needs have created a small area of ​​temporary stalls.

Li Yuan walked out of the council hall and headed towards the trading area along the coral reef passage of the stronghold.

The trading area was located in a spacious cave on the east side of the stronghold, with seven or eight stalls lined up along the cave wall, displaying various spiritual materials, elixirs, and miscellaneous items.

An unfamiliar rogue cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core realm squatted behind a stall in the corner. There weren't many items on the stall; a few old objects of indeterminate age were scattered haphazardly on an oilcloth.

As Li Yuan passed by, his gaze swept over the stall.

A talisman.

The material is bone, and its surface has turned grayish-white due to long-term immersion in seawater, with severely worn edges. The front of the talisman is engraved with a set of blurred communication runes, while the back is smooth and blank.

Old-fashioned communication tokens.

"How much is this?"

The stall owner looked up at him: "A mid-grade spirit stone. An old thing, fished out of an underwater ruin a few years ago."

The spirit runes still work, but the encryption system is outdated and can't be connected to the current communication network. It's okay to keep it as a collector's item.

"Two hundred low-grade spirit stones."

"become."

Li Yuan paid with spirit stones and put the talisman into his palm.

After returning to his temporary seclusion room within the stronghold, he closed the stone door.

He took out a communication talisman stone from his personal space and placed the old-fashioned communication talisman on the table.

When the communication talisman is equipped in the equipment slot, the green text attribute effect of the message translation takes effect. Press your finger on the communication runes on the surface of the talisman to infuse it with spiritual power.

The core logic of the encryption structure is deciphered and broken down layer by layer through message decoding, ultimately revealing its complete form in consciousness. This is the third encryption system.

A panel pops up.

[Message Translation (Green) Permanentization Progress Update: 3/5]

There are three different encryption systems, but two more are still missing.

Li Yuan carefully put away the talisman and the sound transmission stone.

The following day, Li Yuan handled several miscellaneous matters at the Alliance base.

One of the items was a complete blueprint for a mineral enhancement array, which was obtained from the Alliance's database. This array is specifically designed for spirit ore mining, and its core function is to stimulate the condensation speed of spirit ore in the vein through the array's spiritual energy circulation, thereby increasing the mining output per unit time.

The blueprints aren't top-tier in quality, but they're highly practical and perfect for use on the mines the Alliance has recently captured.

By accepting the task, you can receive a contribution reward.

Li Yuan spent half a day studying the blueprints.

With the purple affixation of the Array Dao Heavenly Pivot, the core structure of the array and the design logic of the spiritual energy circulation were immediately clear. Several nodes in the blueprints were not optimally arranged, so Li Yuan made minor adjustments in his mind.

They then set off for the mine.

The entrance to the mine is located at the bottom of the underwater rift valley cleared after the last attack on the monster stronghold. The monsters in the rift valley have been wiped out, and the alliance has arranged for two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators to take turns guarding it. Initial mining of the mine has already begun.

Li Yuan landed at the bottom of the rift valley and walked into the depths of the rock crevice along the entrance to the mineral vein.

The innate perception of the pulse core spread throughout the vein. The distribution, grade, and density of the spirit ore were all clearly revealed. The main vein extended southeast, with two small branch veins forking in the middle section, the grade of which was slightly lower but easier to mine.

Li Yuan selected the key point of the array at the core location of the main ore vein.

The formation begins.

About two hours later, the outer spiritual energy loop was laid out, and finally the core material of the array eye was embedded into the reserved position.

Li Yuan embedded the spirit stone into the array's core slot and injected spiritual power to activate it.

The spiritual energy circulation of the array was fully connected, and spiritual energy was guided from the ore vein into the array's circulation. After being amplified and frequency-tuned by the array's core, it was fed back to the ore vein, resulting in a perceptible increase in the condensation speed of spiritual ore in the vein.

The formation is functioning normally.

Li Yuan looked down at the core of the formation.

The green-grade fluctuations emanated from the spirit stone embedded in the slot.

[Equipable item detected: Gathering Ore Spirit Core Stone]

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Ore Vein Attraction (Green)]

[Effect: When within a self-deployed mining array, spirit ore mining efficiency is increased by 20%; the accuracy of sensing the branching direction of spirit ore veins is slightly enhanced.]

[Preview of Permanentization Conditions: Accumulate sixty days of spirit ore mining while the formation with this core as its center continues to operate (0/60)]

]

The attribute attached to the array eye is not an attribute of the spirit stone itself, but rather a value generated at the array eye after the array is set up.

This aligns with the pattern of array formation entries: the entry is bound to the array formation, the array core is the carrier, but its essence is a product of the array formation.

The condition for permanentization is continuous operation for sixty days. No equipment is required; the formation will accumulate progress as it operates on its own.

Li Yuan had no equipment, so he left the array's core in place to continue operating.

I got up and walked out of the mine along the rift valley passage.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator on duty saw him come out and went up to ask what was going on.

"Once the formation is set up, the efficiency of mining the vein will be improved. Don't move the core of the formation; let it operate on its own."

"clear.

They transformed into streaks of light and left the sea, flying back towards Liangzhou.
