Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Chapter 608 Cultivation Advancement and Market Expansion

The spiritual energy concentration in the Misty Forest Market is insufficient to support efficient cultivation at the Nascent Soul stage.

Although there is no fourth-tier cultivation technique yet, Li Yuan can absorb spiritual energy on his own.

At the same time, body-refining techniques also require spiritual energy to assist them.

Li Yuan didn't waste any time in the secluded cultivation room. He transformed into a beam of light and left the market, landing in a deserted mountain valley on the outskirts.

The second coordinate point of the airspace anchor record is retrieved from the sea of ​​consciousness.

A pale blue light illuminated, precisely pointing to the marked location in the canyon rift of the Tianyue Mountains.

Spiritual energy surged from within, extending along the coordinate direction and tearing a directional channel through the spatial structure.

Half an hour later, Li Yuan arrived at the rift valley.

The Linghui Chuyuan entry draws spiritual energy towards the spatial channel.

The spiritual energy seeped into the wall, and its concentration rapidly increased.

The three-tiered spirit-gathering array within the body operates synchronously, pressurizing and purifying the incoming spiritual energy before infusing it into the entire body.

The cultivation begins.

The first breakthrough was in the Mysterious Iron Body Forging Technique.

In the early stages of development, the bones are almost solid, and the skeletal system becomes a high-speed channel for the circulation of spiritual energy.

The quality and control precision of the Nascent Soul spiritual power far surpass that of the Golden Core stage, and the refinement of the internal microstructure of the bones has reached a level of detail that was previously impossible.

Every microscopic layer of the skeleton was further compacted under the repeated erosion of the Nascent Soul's spiritual power. The bone density progressed from near solid to completely solid, and the speed of spiritual power conduction within the skeleton increased once again.

The Mysterious Iron Body Forging Technique has been mastered.

The hardness of bones at the Great Completion stage surpasses that of ordinary magical artifacts of the same level. The conduction resistance after spiritual energy is injected into the bones is almost zero, and the skeletal system is upgraded from a high-speed channel for spiritual energy to a superconductor of spiritual energy.

The focus of cultivation then shifted to the Spiritual Body Forging Technique.

The minor stage completes the comprehensive renewal of internal organs, with four layers of tissue: skin, muscles, bones, and internal organs.

Each member performs their respective duties, forming a cohesive unit.

The external-to-inward renewal is complete. The next stage is the meridians.

Driven by the spiritual energy of the nascent soul, the spiritual energy lines scan the meridians throughout the body.

The structure of the meridians is clearly visible under the scanning of the spiritual energy lines.

Under the guidance of spiritual energy, the old meridian walls slowly decompose, and the decomposition products are excreted along the blood vessels.

New meridian walls grow from the inside out, filling the space left after decomposition.

The process is slower than the renewal of internal organs.

Meridians are distributed throughout the body, and their number far exceeds that of internal organs.

From the extremities to the main meridians, from the limbs to the trunk, from the body surface to the area around the dantian.

Finally, there are the core meridians in the dantian area.

This section is the most crucial. The core meridians directly connect to the dantian area where the nascent soul resides, serving as the main channel for the flow of spiritual energy throughout the body.

Any deviation during the update process will directly affect the spiritual energy supply of the Nascent Soul.

Li Yuan devoted all twenty-four divine sense lines to the renewal process of the core meridians, controlling the precision to the limit.

New meridian walls grow outward from the core area, while the old walls decompose simultaneously.

Connection complete.

The speed of spiritual energy conduction underwent a qualitative change the moment it flowed through the new meridians.

The Spiritual Body Forging Technique has been perfected.

The meridians at the Great Completion stage are completely different from those before.

The smoothness of the inner wall of the new meridian has reached the theoretical upper limit, with no traces of repair or microscopic flaws.

The resilience of the meridians has increased significantly compared to the old meridians, and the speed of spiritual energy transmission and the upper limit of their capacity have been comprehensively improved.

The effects of the permanent "Warm Spirit Tempering Meridian" attribute are more fully realized on the new meridians.

The five layers of tissue—skin, muscles, bones, internal organs, and meridians—have all been completely renewed.

The overall quality of the physical body has once again undergone a perceptible leap.

The effects of ascension extend beyond the physical body.

After completing the Spirit Body Forging Technique and fully renewing his meridians, Li Yuan sensed subtle changes in the nascent soul within his dantian.

The brightness of the halo on the surface of the dark golden nascent soul increased slightly, and the frequency of the spiritual energy self-circulation increased slightly.

The improvement in physical quality has a converse effect on the nascent soul.

The nascent soul is the condensation of essence, energy, and spirit, which are distributed throughout the body.

The quality of the physical body determines the capacity and efficiency of the flow of essence, energy, and spirit. After all five layers of tissue are renewed, the environment for the flow of essence, energy, and spirit is optimized. This optimization is transmitted to the nascent soul, causing the quality of the nascent soul to increase slightly in tandem.

The physical body and the nascent soul are mirror images of each other, promoting each other's development.

Upon achieving mastery of the Spirit Body Forging Technique, the entry for Spirit Bone Reshaping on the Spirit Body Forging Technique jade slip also met the conditions for permanence.

The Spirit Body Forging Technique is cultivated to its highest level, and a complete fine-tuning of the physical body's meridians is completed during this period.

Both conditions have been met.

The jade slip for the Spiritual Body Forging Technique dissipated within the personal miniature world. A stream of blue light penetrated the walls of the miniature world and flowed into the body.

The screen filled with images.

A cultivator sat cross-legged in a secret chamber, his meridians appearing as an intricate network under the scan of spiritual energy lines. Every microscopic structure within the meridian walls was slowly reshaping under the guidance of spiritual energy. Throughout the process, the cultivator's bones continuously generated a faint resonance, the frequency of which was perfectly synchronized with the progress of the meridian reshaping.

The image also reveals the complete theoretical framework by which the creator of the Spiritual Body Forging Technique coordinated the operation of the five layers of the physical body.

The image disappeared.

The reshaping of the bone has been completed and is now permanent.

Meridian resilience permanently increased by 30%. Physical body's spiritual energy carrying capacity permanently increased by 30%. Physical body's tolerance to spiritual energy impact permanently and significantly enhanced upon breaking through a major realm.

The cultivation has come to an end.

Li Yuan withdrew from the independent space and transformed into a beam of light, flying towards the direction of the Misty Forest Market.

As the light swept across the eastern part of Liangzhou, a thought surfaced in his mind.

Soaring.

Nascent Soul cultivators are qualified to travel to the Upper Realm via spatial channels. The Mingyuan Sect has already opened these channels.

If one ascends to the upper boundary, can one use the spatial coordinates recorded by the airspace anchor to locate and return to the lower boundary?

There is a spatial passage between the upper and lower realms.

The coordinate recording of airspace anchoring is based on precise positioning of spatial features. In theory, as long as the coordinate record is intact, the orientation and distance of the coordinates can be locked at any location.

However, there is no precedent to follow regarding whether the spatial structures at both ends of the space passage are continuous, or whether coordinate positioning can penetrate the passage wall.

Intelligence is difficult to obtain.

I'll jot this down and verify it later.

Another issue is more practical.

The speed at which I formed my nascent soul was too fast.

The time from the late Golden Core stage to the early Nascent Soul stage is much shorter than the normal Nascent Soul formation cycle for cultivators.

Revealing one's Nascent Soul identity rashly will inevitably attract attention.

You can't stay hidden in the Nether forever, but you also can't expose yourself too early.

Once exposed, with the added benefits of his numerous attributes, he might not be afraid of other Nascent Soul cultivators, or even Deity Transformation cultivators whose strength has been greatly diminished after their arrival, but the path to ascension would become difficult.

I can only play the Ten Mile Slope Sword God in the lower realm.

The "Disguise" attribute can alter one's appearance and some of their aura characteristics.

If he appeared in public under a different identity, presenting himself as a Nascent Soul cultivator, it might be possible to distinguish Li Yuan's late-stage Golden Core status from the newly emerged Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, since the Disguise Mask is a green-grade attribute, whether the disguise effect is effective against Nascent Soul cultivators of the same level still needs to be verified in practice.

The beam of light descended into the Misty Forest Market.

The changes in the market were more noticeable than before I left.

The number of people on the main street had increased again. Li Yuan quickly scanned the area with his divine sense and found that the number of resident independent cultivators had exceeded one thousand.

A thousand people.

A few years ago, Wulinfang Market was just a small outpost with a little over a hundred people.

Ji Wenyuan waited in the main hall, where a hand-drawn market plan was spread out on the table.

"Master, there are too many people."

Ji Wenyuan's tone carried a hint of cheerful complaint.

"In addition, independent cultivators from the surrounding areas have also been moving here recently. The advantage in spiritual energy concentration is too obvious; their area is far inferior to ours. At this rate, the number of permanent residents may exceed two thousand by the end of the year."

The market has evolved from a simple trading point to a regional resource circulation hub.

After finishing his business in the market, Li Yuan went to the core of the market's formation system.

The basement where the array's core is located in the Misty Forest Market.

The Spirit Gathering Stone is embedded in the core of the array, where spiritual energy flows continuously, ensuring the stable operation of the array system.

The conditions for making the Lingjufang base entry permanent are: the formation must operate continuously for 180 days without being destroyed during that period.

Although the time for infant formation seems to pass in an instant, nearly two months have actually passed, and the conditions have been met.

Li Yuan took out a spare array eye stone from his personal miniature world and replaced the spirit gathering stone.

After the replacement was completed, the Spirit Gathering Stone dissipated in his palm. A stream of green light flowed into his body.

The screen filled with images.

The entire formation system of a market town is presented from a bird's-eye view.

Within the area covered by the array, the distribution of spiritual energy exhibits an orderly gradient structure.

The concentration is highest in the core area and decreases layer by layer towards the periphery. The concentration difference between each layer is maintained at a threshold that allows spiritual energy to flow inward naturally.

The spiritual energy is not forcibly drawn together, but rather spontaneously converges towards the core area under the guidance of the gradient structure. The longer the formation operates, the more stable the gradient structure becomes, and the faster the concentration of spiritual energy increases.

The image disappeared.

The Spirit Gathering Grounds have been permanently completed.

Cultivation efficiency is permanently increased by 10% when within the coverage area of ​​this formation. The effect of continuously increasing spiritual energy concentration is permanently solidified.

Li Yuan left the basement and returned to his secluded room.

The stone gate was closed.

The spiritual power of the nascent soul within the body circulated under the permanent array covering the Spirit Gathering Workshop, resulting in a slight increase in cultivation efficiency.

This is indeed just a drop in the ocean for those in the Nascent Soul stage.

But little by little, it adds up.
