Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Chapter 566 The Return of the Dragon Core

The stone door to the secluded meditation room was tightly shut, and the spiritual energy isolation array was in operation.

Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the stone platform, and the spiritual energy path of the demon-transformation-to-human-form technique unfolded in his sea of ​​consciousness.

With the blessing of the entry, Li Yuan was able to practice this technique in reverse.

The spiritual energy cycle changed from positive to negative.

Reversing the cycle requires cultivators to actively change the direction of spiritual energy flow in their meridians, and the direction of spiritual energy at some nodes contradicts the natural meridian flow of human cultivators.

Forcing circulation will increase the pressure on the inner walls of the meridians. The higher the cultivation level and the more abundant the spiritual power, the stronger the impact when the meridians are reversed.

Fortunately, after mastering the dual-track body tempering technique, Li Yuan's meridian resilience far exceeded that of his peers. The Dragon Blood Tempering Technique was originally centered on the bloodline of dragons, and the residual dragon blood energy in his meridians was naturally compatible with the technique's path.

He took out the dragon's inner core from his personal space.

The dark blue inner core felt slightly warm in my palm, and the dragon patterns flowed slowly under the reflection of spiritual energy. The dragon spiritual energy contained in the inner core was completely of the same origin as the path of the demon-humanoid cultivation technique. Using it to guide the meridians for cultivation was much smoother than simply pushing it with one's own spiritual energy.

Li Yuan suspended the inner elixir three inches in front of his dantian, using spiritual energy to guide and fix it in place.

He activated the demon-transformation-into-human-form technique.

Spiritual energy surged from the golden core, flowing into the first meridian along the reverse path specified in the cultivation technique. Simultaneously, a wisp of the dragon's spiritual energy from the inner core seeped out, acting as a guide to pave the way in the meridian, softening the obstructions along the reverse path one by one.

His own spiritual power followed closely behind and poured in.

The spiritual energy within the dragon's inner core was highly compatible with the cultivation path, and the reversal of each meridian was smoother than expected.

Several hours later, Li Yuan finished his practice.

The technique of transforming a demon into human form, beginner level.

The changes become immediately apparent after you get started.

Li Yuan looked down at his forearm.

A very faint layer of dark blue scales appeared on the surface of the skin.

The texture is so subtle that it's almost imperceptible unless you look closely, but when you touch it, you can feel a subtle change in the texture of the skin's surface. It's a little rougher than usual, and the firmness is also slightly increased.

As the spiritual energy was withdrawn, the scales faded away.

The level of demon transformation is extremely low; at the beginner stage, only a few characteristics of demon beasts are displayed. However, this already proves that the effect of the "Reverse Scale Transformation" attribute is working, and human cultivators can indeed gain the ability to transform into demon beasts through this technique.

His subsequent cultivation shifted to the Dragon Blood Tempering Technique.

He retrieved the sealed bottle containing the dragon's blood from his personal space.

The dragon blood in the bottle was dark red, much thicker than the blood of ordinary demonic beasts, and had a faint metallic sheen on its surface when left to stand. This was the heart blood of a third-tier superior-grade dragon, and the purity and concentration of the dragon bloodline far exceeded any body-refining auxiliary material used before.

The Dragon Blood Tempering Technique was activated.

A wisp of blood was drawn from the bottle opening by spiritual power and slowly flowed into the body along the meridians. The moment the dragon blood energy entered the body, the spiritual energy pathway of the Dragon Blood Tempering Technique automatically responded, and the frequency of blood circulation suddenly increased.

Several days later, the spiritual energy path of the Dragon Blood Tempering Technique underwent a qualitative change.

In the mastery stage, the circulation of Qi and blood is passively covered by a network. Spiritual energy drives the flow of Qi and blood within the network, and the tempering efficiency depends on the amount of spiritual energy injected.

In the minor completion stage, the blood circulation becomes a semi-autonomous pulsating tempering. The dragon blood energy in the muscle fibers begins to generate rhythmic pulsations on its own, and can maintain low-intensity tempering without the need for continuous spiritual power.

The Blood Tempering Technique of the Flood Dragon has reached a minor completion stage.

Li Yuan finished his practice and stretched his limbs.

Both muscle power output and response speed have significantly improved. The semi-autonomous pulsation at the minor completion stage means that even when not in a training state, the physical body is slowly strengthening itself.

After completing his training, Li Yuan shifted his focus to the Shadow Escape Technique.

In the beginner stage, only preliminary deflection processing of light refraction can be performed; sound wave absorption and airflow guidance are not yet possible.

The lesson learned from being exposed by sonic detection during the last pursuit of demonic cultivators is still fresh in our minds; we must quickly improve our physical concealment capabilities.

The secluded training room was not large, about three zhang square, which was just right for honing concealment techniques in a small area.

The Shadow Escape Technique is activated.

Spiritual energy seeps out from the body surface and condenses into an extremely thin film on the outer side of the skin.

The film is less than a line thick, thinner than a dragon scale, but its structure is extremely precise. The inner layer of the film adheres to the body surface, while the outer layer faces the environment, with a spiritual energy refraction layer sandwiched between the two layers.

When light shines on the surface of the thin film, the refractive layer makes slight adjustments to the angles of incidence and emission of the light, allowing the light to bypass the body's surface and continue propagating in its original direction. The effect is similar to making the body translucent to light.

Li Yuan used four of the sixteen lines of divine sense to simulate the incident paths of light at different angles, and to verify the offset accuracy of the refraction layer in real time.

The other two lines of consciousness simulate sound wave signals.

Inside the secluded cultivation room, Li Yuan repeatedly practiced the Shadow Escape Technique, adjusting the spiritual energy distribution density within the refraction layer. The doubled learning speed of the Myriad Techniques Practice made the optimization efficiency of the cultivation path extremely high, correcting previous deviations with each practice.

The simulation verification of the consciousness line provides accurate feedback data.

Over time, the structure of the spiritual energy membrane of the Shadow Illusion Technique changed.

In the beginner stage, it's a single-layer refraction, where light enters from the outer layer, is deflected by the refractive layer, and exits from the other side of the inner layer. In the advanced stage, the thin film becomes a double-layer structure. The outer layer still handles light refraction, while the inner layer adds an extremely thin buffer layer. The function of the buffer layer is to absorb the residual weak spiritual energy fluctuations generated during refraction, preventing the refractive layer itself from becoming a new source of detection signals.

The dual-layer structure fundamentally changes the concealment effect of the Shadow Step technique. The precision of light refraction is further improved, maintaining stable deflection compensation even at medium speeds.

Proficient in Shadow Escape Technique.

Sound absorption and airflow guidance are still not achievable and require a mastery stage.

However, it's sufficient for the proficiency stage. The combination of light refraction, the compression of elusive spiritual energy, and the concealment of demonic energy by dark demons creates three layers of concealment, covering both spiritual energy detection and optical detection. The weakness in the sound wave dimension requires a different approach.

Li Yuan finished his practice, and at that moment, the communication token lit up.

President.

"Fellow Daoist Li, the Kunpeng Alliance has issued a request to all Golden Core cultivators in the sea areas."

Li Yuan took out the token and infused it with spiritual power.

The guild leader's message was concise: the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Kunpeng Alliance have not yet returned, and the defensive pressure on the main island continues to increase. He requests that Golden Core cultivators from all sides go to the Kunpeng Alliance's main island to assist in its defense.

Participants only need to guard the main island and rely on the fourth-order grand formation for defense; they do not need to take the initiative to attack.

The rewards are generous. Spirit stones, spiritual materials, and pills are paid daily, and the amount far exceeds the recruitment standards of the Loose Cultivator Alliance.

Furthermore, as long as you participate, you can choose treasures from the Kunpeng Alliance Treasure Pavilion and receive a Nascent Soul cultivator's Nascent Soul experience manual from the Kunpeng Alliance.

Classic texts on infant formation techniques.

The value of this reward far exceeds that of ordinary spirit stones and materials.

Li Yuan put away the communication token and returned to his secluded room.
