Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Chapter 585 Kunpeng Guards the Breath

Before leaving Baihe Prefecture, Lu Yang called out to Li Yuan at the entrance of the stone building.

"Fellow Daoist Li, there is another matter I would like to ask for your help with."

Li Yuan stopped in his tracks.

Lu Yang's tone was more serious than usual.

"The Lu family's mining operations in Baihe Prefecture are already quite large, but their sales channels have always been limited to the prefecture and surrounding independent cultivators. After the Tianyue Sect expanded, they purchased a large amount of spiritual materials, but we don't have a direct channel with the Tianyue Sect. The middlemen have passed through two or three hands, and most of our profits have been eaten up."

He looked at Li Yuan.

"Fellow Daoist is an official retainer of the Tianyue Sect. Could you help us make a connection? Even just opening a direct supply channel would benefit both of us by eliminating intermediaries."

Regarding compensation after the matter is completed.

Lu Yang took out a list from his storage bag and handed it over. "The price of raw ore can be reduced by another 10%, and an extra batch of scarce minerals will be provided every quarter. The categories are on the list."

Li Yuan took the list and glanced at it.

Several types of rare minerals are high-quality auxiliary materials for refining weapons, and are highly sought after but unavailable on the market. The fact that the Lu family can offer them as payment indicates that there are indeed valuable items hidden deep within the mine.

"I'll mention it next time I go to Tianyue Sect," Li Yuan said, putting the list away.

"I can't guarantee whether it will work out. Tianyue Sect has its own procurement procedures, but as a disciple, I can easily make an introduction."

"That's enough." Lu Yang cupped his hands in greeting. "Having a fellow Daoist's introduction is ten times better than us knocking on doors ourselves."

Goodbye.

The light rose into the sky and flew towards Liangzhou.

During the flight, the two permanent entries, spatial micro-sensing and spatial perception, continue to operate.

As the light streaked across the border between Baihe Prefecture and Liang Prefecture, spatial perception detected several faint spatial fluctuations.

The intensity of the fluctuations is low, but their distribution is more dense than before. Previously, when flying along this route, the background frequency of spatial fluctuations could only be detected occasionally, in one or two places. Now, they can be detected almost every tens of miles.

The prolonged opening of the spatial passage does indeed affect the spatial stability of the lower realm.

The impact is global, not limited to the vicinity of the Tianyue Mountains.

Li Yuan slightly deflected the direction of his escape light, moving it closer to the ruins of the Xuanyou Sect in eastern Liangzhou.

As one approaches the site, spatial awareness feedback increases dramatically.

Li Yuan's escape light circled once in the sky above that area.

The Spatial Search Technique operates, and the increased detection accuracy at the mastery stage, combined with the permanent entries of spatial perception, gradually narrows down the location of the source of the fluctuation.

The approximate location is about 50 feet underground.

However, the exact location remains unclear. The direction of the fluctuations continues to drift, as if the source itself is slowly moving in space, or being pulled and displaced by some force.

It's not a fixed location, but something that exists within a spatial rift.

It could be leftover items, or it could be a hidden space.

It requires a longer positioning time.

Li Yuan noted down the current fluctuation range and drift direction, then withdrew his magic and used his escape light to head towards Tianyue Market.

On the way to Tianyue Market, the communication token lit up.

Simplicity and simplicity.

"Fellow Daoist Li, there are two things."

"First, Yunyang Market and Wulin Market are geographically close. Tianyue Sect is considering a preliminary merger of the two markets, and the specific revenue management will be discussed later. What are your thoughts?"

"Secondly, the Nascent Soul Grandmaster Uncle of Mingyuan Sect is expected to officially descend from the spatial passage within half a month. Tianyue Sect is accelerating the expansion of its reception facilities, and at that time, it may require the cooperation of various parties to handle some matters."

Li Yuan replied.

"The direction of the merger is correct, but it can't be done all at once. The two markets have different management systems, merchant structures, and defensive formations. Forcing a merger will only lead to chaos. First, we should establish channels for the exchange of goods, unify the procurement and pricing standards for some spiritual materials, and keep the personnel and management separate for the time being."

"Tell me in advance what you need me to do for your Nascent Soul senior uncle."

Xuanpu replied quickly.

"The merger will proceed at your pace; Tianyue Sect will not force it. Just establish the supply exchange channels first."

"You don't need to help with the matter of the Nascent Soul Martial Uncle for now; we'll discuss it when he arrives."

The message has ended.

Li Yuan put the token away and continued on to Tianyue Market.

The merger of Yunyang Market and Wulin Market is only a matter of time.

The two markets are only forty miles apart. After the Tianyue Sect expanded its territory, the gap in the middle area has been filled.

The scale and resource allocation efficiency will be significantly improved after the merger.

But mergers are not something that can be done overnight.

Channels for exchanging supplies, connecting with merchants, ensuring compatibility of formations, and defining management authority—each of these requires time to work out. Let's get the most basic supply flow sorted out first, and then work on the rest gradually.

Tianyue Market, Contribution Exchange Point.

Li Yuan stood in front of the counter, flipping through the redemption list.

The Tianyue Sect is expanding, so they have set up an exchange office in Tianyue Market.

The variety of third-order formations has increased significantly compared to the last visit. After its expansion, Tianyue Sect obtained a large amount of upper-realm inheritance data from Mingyuan Sect, some of which has been compiled into books and made available for worship.

Li Yuan's gaze lingered on a formation.

Spirit Plant Growth-Promoting Array. Tier 3, Low Grade.

Its core function is to construct a spiritual energy circulation system using array formations, which transforms the spiritual energy in the environment into special frequency spiritual energy suitable for spiritual plants to absorb, shortening the growth cycle of spiritual plants within the coverage area by about 30%.

This is exactly what the portable mini-world needs.

Contribution points deducted, jade slip obtained.

As divine sense probed in, the array structure unfolded in the sea of ​​consciousness.

From the perspective of a master of array formations, the structure of the Spirit Plant Growth Array is not particularly complex. Its core is a spiritual energy conversion circuit that modifies the frequency of regular spiritual energy to a lower frequency that is more easily absorbed by spiritual plants. The auxiliary circuits are responsible for evenly distributing the converted spiritual energy across the covered area. The array's core requires a spirit stone with high affinity for wood.

Li Yuan also found a document on planting techniques related to terrestrial spiritual plants in the list.

The Spirit Field Cultivation Technique covers the entire process of sowing, applying spirit energy, soil preparation, and harvesting third-tier terrestrial spirit herbs, reaching a higher level of depth than the basic cultivation technique previously exchanged in the Loose Cultivator Alliance.

Contribution points are deducted again.

After obtaining the two jade slips, Li Yuan left the exchange point.

After replenishing the spiritual materials in Tianyue Market with a few terrestrial spiritual herb seedlings and two wood-type spiritual stones, he transformed into a beam of light and returned to Wulin Market.

The stone door to the seclusion chamber was closed.

Li Yuan's consciousness sank into his personal miniature world.

The environment inside the small realm hadn't changed much since the last time I entered. The water lilies in the water had unfurled their leaves, and the algae were thicker than when they were planted. The Azure Heart Grass in the Spirit Field area was growing steadily, and the three seedlings had already sprouted new leaves.

The effect of increasing the growth rate of spiritual plants by 50% is still active.

However, if the 30% shortening effect of the Spirit Plant Growth Array can be combined, the overall production cycle will be further compressed.

Li Yuanxian took action in the water area first.

At the bottom of the spirit sand in the water, there was a depression suitable for embedding the array eye. Li Yuan embedded a piece of wood-type spirit stone into the depression and used an array pattern carving knife to carve the core array pattern on the surface of the spirit sand.

The water area was not large, about three zhang square, which was more than enough to cover the area of ​​the spirit plant growth-promoting array. The spiritual energy conversion loop radiated outwards from the array's core, and the auxiliary loops formed a ring-shaped distribution network along the edge of the water.

The spiritual energy circulation within the inner walls of the small realm automatically connects with the spiritual energy circulation of the array, and the blessing of the array's Heavenly Pivot makes this connection seem as if it were made by nature.

The setup took about two hours.

Spiritual energy is injected into the array's core, activating it.

The transformed low-frequency spiritual energy diffused from the array's core into the water. The surface of the duckweed in the water trembled slightly the moment it came into contact with the low-frequency spiritual energy, and the absorption speed underwent a perceptible change.

At the heart of the formation, a fluctuation emanated from the text.

Green grade.

[Equipable item detected: Water Spirit Growth Stone]

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Spirit Plant Nourishment (Green)]

[Effect: The quality of aquatic spiritual plants within the coverage area of ​​this formation is slightly improved; the purity of the medicinal properties of mature spiritual plants is increased by 10%]

[Preview of Permanentization Conditions: Accumulate ten batches of spirit plants under continuous operation of the formation (0/10)]

Green attribute. Effects relate to the quality of spiritual plants and the purity of medicinal properties, directly improving the quality of raw materials for alchemy. Permanence is a passive, cumulative condition; the formation will activate automatically.

The core of the formation remains in its original position.
