Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Chapter 597 Mastery of Spiritual Body Forging Technique

Li Yuan sat cross-legged in the stone chamber on the side of the canyon, his consciousness sinking into his body.

The seven core nodes of the third-order spirit gathering array operated stably around the dantian, and the spiritual energy flowed smoothly and unimpeded through the fifteen auxiliary nodes and the three-layer nested circuits.

However, when this formation was re-examined at the level of a perfected third-order formation, two previously unnoticed minor flaws emerged.

Neither of the two flaws will affect the normal operation of the formation, but they will cause a very small loss of spiritual energy.

Li Yuan used micro-controlling spiritual techniques to fine-tune the two flaws.

The phase deviation at the first connection point is corrected by adjusting the spiritual energy output angle at the end node of the second layer, and the spiritual energy exchange changes from turbulent to laminar flow.

The capacity mismatch at the second auxiliary node was corrected by adjusting the thickness of the spiritual energy coating on the inner wall of the meridian at the fine adjustment point, and the spiritual energy flow rate was restored to the design value.

After the fine-tuning, the overall efficiency of the spirit-gathering array within the body increased by about 10%.

The improvement is not significant, but any optimization in efficiency can make cultivation more relaxed.

Li Yuan opened his eyes and withdrew his senses from his body.

The message token lit up that afternoon.

Zhou Heng.

"The deployment of the branch spirit-guiding arrays is progressing normally and is expected to be completed within five days. In addition, the Mingyuan Sect has sent down a third mission."

Li Yuan headed to the rock platform below the entrance to the passage.

Zhou Heng stood on the edge of the rock platform, with a new jade slip beside him.

"What is the content of the third task?"

"A Spirit Guiding Array." Zhou Heng handed over the jade slip. "Unlike the previous Spirit Guiding Arrays, this time we need to set up several large Spirit Guiding Arrays near the spatial passage. Their function is to transport the spiritual energy flowing out of the passage to a more distant area. The previous Spirit Guiding Arrays only covered the spiritual veins inside the Tianyue Mountains. This time, we need to extend the coverage area to dozens of miles around the outer edge of the mountains."

Li Yuan took the jade slip and probed it with his divine sense.

The scale of the large-scale spirit guiding array is several times larger than that of the previous ones. The length of the spirit energy guiding channel extends from tens of feet to several miles or even more than ten miles, and the spirit energy attenuation compensation mechanism is also more complex.

However, the core principle is the same as the previous spirit guiding array, and it is not too difficult for a third-order array master to achieve perfection.

"Fellow Daoist only needs to be responsible for the overall planning and personally set up a main formation," Zhou Heng said.

"The remaining branches are handled by Zhao Lin and other formation masters."

"OK."

The overall plan was completed on the same day.

The main formation was set up in a mountain valley on the north side of the Tianyue Mountains, located between the spatial passage and the outer edge of the mountains, a key node on the natural diffusion path of spiritual energy.

The deployment process went more smoothly than expected.

The experience of setting up an array at will after mastering the third-order array path also applies to large-scale arrays. The direction of spiritual energy circulation does not need to be deduced segment by segment; the array pattern carving knife moves across the rock surface as smoothly and naturally as a pen writing on paper.

Several days later, the main formation was completed.

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

The spiritual energy guiding channels of the large-scale spirit-guiding array extend outward from the array's core, covering an area of ​​about ten miles north of the mountain range. The spiritual energy flow within the channels is uniform, and the attenuation compensation mechanism is functioning normally.

The "array eye" is a single term and cannot be stacked.

The setup of the spirit guiding array has now come to an end.

The remaining branch formations were to be advanced by Zhao Lin and others, without requiring Li Yuan's personal involvement.

Li Yuan returned to the stone chamber on the side of the canyon and continued his cultivation.

The cultivation of the Spirit Body Forging Technique is continuously advanced with the assistance of the Meridian Protecting and Spirit Warming Pill.

After the skin renewal is completed in the proficiency stage, the skill progress has fully covered the muscle layer and penetrated into the bone layer.

The details of skeletal structure are far more complex than those of skin and muscles. The high density of bones makes it difficult for spiritual energy to penetrate, thus making cultivation much more challenging.

The third-order spirit-gathering array within the body continuously supplied the extremely high-purity spiritual energy near the passage, pushing the frequency of the cultivation technique's operation to an extremely high level.

The restructuring plan for the skeletal layer by the cultivation technique gradually took shape in the sea of ​​consciousness.

One day during cultivation, the circulation mode of the spiritual energy lines suddenly switched.

Switch from scan mode to refactoring mode.

The skeleton begins to change.

The first change appears in the left little finger.

The hardness of the finger bones decreased dramatically within a few breaths, and the bone changed from hard to soft, like wax softened by high temperature.

The softened bone slowly seeps out of the body along the surface of the finger bones, precipitating out from the fingertips and joints, forming small grayish-white particles.

Old bones are being expelled.

At the same time, new bones begin to grow where the old bones have been expelled.

New bone tissue expands outward from the bone marrow region at the center of the bone, growing at an extremely rapid rate, filling the space left by the expelled old bone within a few breaths.

The bone renewal of the left little finger was completed in about 15 minutes.

Then come the ring finger, middle finger, index finger, and thumb.

After the bones of the five fingers are replaced in sequence, the metacarpals and carpal bones follow.

After the left hand is updated, the right hand will begin.

Then comes the forearm, upper arm, and scapula.

Then come the feet, calves, thighs, and hips.

Finally, there's the spine, ribs, and skull.

The whole process lasted for nearly two hours.

All two hundred-plus bones in his body underwent a complete replacement.

Old bone tissue precipitates out from various parts of the body in the form of grayish-white granules, forming a thin layer beneath the body. New bone growth extends outward from the bone marrow region, each piece being denser and harder than the old bone.

He is proficient in the Spiritual Body Forging Technique.

From the outside in. Beginner level is like hair, proficiency is like skin, and mastery is like bones.

Li Yuan used a cleansing technique to remove the old bone particles beneath him and slowly stood up.

I stretched my limbs a bit.

The texture of the new bone is completely different from that of the old bone. The sound produced when tapping the back of the hand is dull and deep, no longer the crisp sound of ordinary bone. The toughness of the bone has also been significantly improved, with a much greater range of flexibility when bent than the old bone, making it less prone to breakage.

The efficiency of spiritual energy conduction after being injected into the bones has undergone a qualitative leap.

Old bones significantly impede the transmission of spiritual energy, while new bones almost do not, allowing spiritual energy to flow rapidly along the skeletal structure.

The skeletal system transformed from a bottleneck in the transmission of spiritual energy into a high-speed channel for its transmission.

The combined effects of the Great Perfection of the Dragon Blood Tempering Technique and the new bones developed during the Mastery stage resulted in another leap in the overall strength of the physical body. The near-solid bone structure achieved after the Minor Perfection of the Mysterious Iron Forging Technique was further amplified on the new bones, bringing their density and hardness close to that of a magic weapon of the same rank.

Li Yuan withdrew his senses and sat down cross-legged.

The focus of subsequent training in the mastery stage is on optimizing the coordination between bones, muscles, and skin. After each of the three layers of tissues has been renewed, it is necessary to re-establish their cooperative relationship so that the flow of spiritual energy between the three layers can be seamless.

This process takes time, but it doesn't need to be deliberately pushed forward; it can be completed naturally during daily practice.
