Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Chapter 614: Initial Refining of Thunder Bones

The beam of light passed through the outer perimeter of the Tianyue Mountains and headed towards Liangzhou.

The effects of the new formation after activation are already readily apparent.

The flow of spiritual energy coming from the direction of the spatial channel has decreased by nearly 30% compared to before the formation was set up, and the spiritual energy no longer overflows and spreads over a large area as before.

Instead, they were confined to a limited area near the entrance of the passage by the new formation.

The spiritual energy has decreased, but the spatial ripples at the entrance of the passage have also narrowed, indicating that stability has indeed improved.

The beam of light descended into the Misty Forest Market.

The stone door to the seclusion chamber was closed.

Li Yuan closed his eyes to sense his overall condition and then turned his attention to cultivation.

The spiritual energy path of the Nascent Soul Returning to Origin Method unfolds within the sea of ​​consciousness.

The initial awkwardness of spiritual energy circulation in the beginner stage has passed. The spiritual energy of the nascent soul no longer needs to deliberately simulate the meridian conduction method of the golden core stage, and begins to flow naturally according to the path designed by the fourth-level cultivation method.

The 80% acceleration effect of the permanent "Nurturing the Nascent Soul" skill was clearly perceptible with each use. The circulation frequency of spiritual energy between the Nascent Soul and the whole body was nearly twice as fast as normal. Every node in the cultivation path was repeatedly refreshed under the accelerated operation, and the accumulation speed of proficiency far exceeded the norm.

The spiritual energy path of the Nascent Soul Returning to Origin Method gradually became more harmonious and integrated.

The cultivation lasted for several days.

The proficiency of the Nascent Soul Returning to Origin Method improves relatively slowly because the technique is incomplete and fragmented.

After finishing his cultivation, Li Yuan took out the Four Symbols Thunder Sect disciple token from his personal miniature world.

The dark purple token lay in his palm, the four ancient characters on the front glowing faintly.

The array array celestial pivot performs a detailed scan of the token's surface.

Beneath the surface material of the token lies a hidden spiritual rune. The rune is extremely fine and blends seamlessly with the decorative inscriptions on the token's surface, making it almost undetectable without a deep scan using the Array Dao Heavenly Pivot.

Li Yuan used micro-controlling spirit techniques to inject a wisp of spiritual power into the starting point of the hidden spirit pattern.

The spirit runes lit up.

A new line of text has emerged beneath the previously blurred name and number on the back of the token.

Testimony of a disciple of the Lei Sect.

The text is followed by a set of directional labels.

The format of the annotation is consistent with the ancient script style on the front of the token, which is the directional recording method commonly used within the Four Symbols Thunder Sect.

The ability of the Array Dao Heavenly Pivot to analyze ancient scripts and directional spiritual patterns came in handy at this moment, and the meaning of the markings was completely translated within a few breaths.

Two outposts.

One location is deep in the sea, and the orientation is not very precise, only indicating a general area. The other location is in Baihe Prefecture, and the orientation is more precise, pointing to a mountain range deep in the southwest of Baihe Prefecture.

The scattered strongholds of the Four Symbols Thunder Sect.

Li Yuan memorized the location information into his mind and retrieved the token into his personal microcosm.

He then rose and transformed into a beam of light, leaving the Misty Forest Market.

The goal is an isolated space within the canyons and rifts of the Tianyue Mountains.

After landing in a deserted mountain valley, the second coordinate point for anchoring in the airspace was retrieved from the mind's eye. Spiritual energy extended along the coordinate direction, tearing open a directional channel.

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

Create an independent space, lock the wall with the Space-Fixing Technique, and draw spiritual energy towards the spatial passage using the Spiritual Energy Storage Scripture.

Spiritual energy seeped into the wall.

The concentration began to rise, but the rate of increase was significantly slower than before.

The effects of the new formation are already evident.

After the spiritual energy overflowing from the spatial passage was significantly contained, the total amount of free spiritual energy available for attraction near the passage decreased.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the independent space is still far higher than that in the outside world, but the peak value is lower than eight times that at the time of Nascent Soul formation, and it is stable at about three or four times.

Li Yuan took out the jade slips of the Thunderous Bone Refining Technique and the basic circulation method of thunder-attribute spiritual power from his personal microcosm and placed the two jade slips side by side on the stone platform.

He simultaneously probed the two jade slips with his divine sense.

The spiritual energy path of the Thunderous Bone Refining Technique unfolds in the sea of ​​consciousness, dissecting and analyzing the spiritual energy circulation structure within the technique.

The core mechanism of the Thunderous Bone Refining Technique is to use high-frequency pulses of thunderous spiritual power to impact the microstructure inside the bones, utilizing the penetrability of thunderous power to seep spiritual power into the deep layers of the bones, refining them from the inside out.

It is completely different from the path of the Xuan Tie Forging Technique.

The Xuan Tie Forging Technique is about compaction, using spiritual power to repeatedly wash and compress the bone density, advancing layer by layer from the outside in.

The Thunderous Bone Refining Technique penetrates directly into the bone marrow layer, transforming the bones from their deepest depths.

They have a low degree of overlap, but are extremely complementary.

After mastering the Xuan Tie Forging Technique, the bones become completely solid, and the transmission of spiritual energy is almost unimpeded.

This means that the path of lightning-attribute spiritual power through the bones is unobstructed and will not be blocked or backfired due to excessive bone density.

In other words, mastering the Xuan Tie Forging Technique provides the perfect foundation for cultivating the Thunderous Bone Refining Technique.

Li Yuan took out the newly purchased Thunder Marrow Stone again.

The fist-sized, grayish-black spirit stone has pale purple lightning veins inside, which meander like blood vessels.

Unlike the similar material obtained from the underwater cave, this one was newly purchased from the Mingyuan Chamber of Commerce in our own market, and its condition is even better.

That spiritual energy has been worn away by the passage of time.

Within a three-foot perception range, the words rippled.

Green grade.

Fingers touch the stone surface.

[Equipable item detected: Thunderstone]

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Thunder Marrow Condensation (Green)]

[Effect: Increases the physical body's tolerance to lightning-attribute spiritual power by 30%; increases the penetration depth of lightning-attribute spiritual power when tempering bones by 20%]

[Preview of Permanentization Conditions: Mastery of a lightning-based cultivation technique]

Li Yuan put the Thunder Marrow Stone into his equipment slot.

The entry for "Thunder Marrow Condensation Bone" takes effect immediately.

A faint warmth emanated from his bones, and his tolerance threshold for lightning-attribute spiritual power was increased by 30%.

Next comes the actual quenching.

The Thunderous Bone Refining Technique was activated.

The first pulse of lightning penetrated into the surface of the bone.

Thunderous Bone Refining Technique, Beginner Level.

This body-refining technique is only at the third level, and given Li Yuan's existing expertise, he can easily master it.

The sign of mastering this skill is when the bones shift from passively resonating with lightning pulses to actively accepting them. Spiritual energy no longer needs to force its way through; the microstructure of the bones spontaneously makes way for the lightning pulses.

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

After entering the market area, proceed directly to the outer market area.

On the outskirts of the outer district, the concentration of spiritual energy has noticeably decreased compared to last month. The free spiritual energy that previously diffused from the direction of the spatial passage has been significantly reduced under the control of the new formation.

The core area of ​​the market relies on the gradient structure of the permanent spirit gathering base and the original spirit gathering array to maintain its concentration, so the concentration changes little. However, the outer market areas are farther away from the core, so the impact is more obvious.

A new large-scale spirit-gathering array is needed to compensate for the loss of spiritual energy in the outer district.

Li Yuan took out the Crimson Pattern Array Plate from his personal miniature world.

The circular stone disc, with its crimson base array pattern frame, glowed faintly after being infused with spiritual energy.

Add to equipment slot.

The array pattern evolution entry takes effect immediately.

When setting up an array, the adaptive adjustment ability between spiritual energy nodes is increased by 50%, and the mastery of array formation can in turn enhance the mastery of talisman formation.

He took out the complete set of materials for the third-order spirit gathering array from his personal miniature world.

Spirit Gathering Stone, Auxiliary Spirit Stone, Spirit Silver Thread, Array Pattern Carving Knife.

The formation was set up in an open space on the west side of the outer district, which is the area with the lowest concentration of spiritual energy in the outer district and is also the area farthest from the core area.

Setting up a large-scale third-order spirit-gathering array here can draw the surrounding spiritual energy to the outer area, forming a double array superimposed and covering the original spirit-gathering array in the core area.

The formation begins.

The seven core nodes are evenly spaced on the open ground.

Fifteen auxiliary nodes and three nested loops were then in place.

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

A large-scale Tier 3 Spirit Gathering Array has been launched.

Spiritual energy was drawn from the surrounding outer area and poured into the area covered by the new array. The array and the original spirit-gathering array in the core area complemented each other in terms of spiritual energy gradient, and the spiritual energy concentration in the outer area began to rise within a few dozen breaths after the array was activated.

Progress of permanent evolution of array patterns: 1/3.

The first third-order formation has been set up. Two more third-order formations of different types are needed to meet the requirements for permanent deployment.

The stone door to the seclusion chamber was closed.

Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the stone platform, continuing to practice the Nascent Soul Returning to Origin Technique.

The nascent soul's spiritual energy circulates within the body along the path of the fourth-tier cultivation technique. The 80% acceleration effect of nurturing the nascent soul continues to accumulate, making the spiritual energy path of the cultivation technique smoother in each cycle.
