Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Chapter 615 Unsealing of the Abyss

Inside the room, Li Yuan removed the Thunder Marrow Stone from his equipment inventory and then took out the Dragon Breath Slowing Talisman from his storage bag.

The spiritual patterns on the talisman glowed slightly under the influence of the spiritual energy within the body, and the dragon pattern resonance bridge structure at the connecting node shone with a very faint golden luster.

A prompt then appeared on the panel, stating that the condition for making the Dragon Breath Slow Surge permanent was simple: just use this type of talisman to assist in cultivation for a cumulative total of thirty days.

Li Yuan casually patted the talisman onto his chest.

During the cultivation that day, the spiritual energy path of the Nascent Soul Returning to Origin Method flowed much more smoothly and effortlessly than in the previous days.

The next morning, Ji Wenyuan sent a message.

Li Yuan received him directly in the main hall.

"Master, the aftereffects of the joint auction are better than expected."

Ji Wenyuan placed a thick document on the table to report to his supervisor.

"Within half a month after the auction, the daily transaction volume in the market increased by 40% compared to before the auction. The frequency of visits from independent cultivators from outside the area also increased. Many of them did not come to buy anything, but simply to see what good stuff was available here."

Li Yuan glanced down at the numbers on the document.

The number of independent cultivators residing there is approaching 1,200, and the capacity of the outer district is almost at its limit.

"Is the plan for the expansion of the outer district ready?" he asked, looking up.

"It's all ready, but there's a new situation." Ji Wenyuan took out another document from his storage bag and handed it over.

"News has come from the Tianyue Sect that they plan to accelerate the merger of Wulin Market and Yunyang Market. The specific plan is to build a formal connecting road between the two markets, set up residences and supply points along the way, and attract independent cultivators to settle along the route."

Li Yuan glanced at the route marked in the document.

The connecting road runs in a straight line, and the known areas where the monsters were active had already been cleared away.

"Okay." Li Yuan put the file back on the desktop.

Ji Wenyuan reached out and put the document away, adding, "In addition, the capacity problem of the outer district can be solved in the short term by expansion. In the long term, after the roads are completed, some permanent residents and casual repairmen can be relocated from the residential areas along the roads, which will reduce the pressure."

After finishing these market affairs, Ji Wenyuan bowed and took his leave.

With only one person left in the room, Li Yuan then took out three items one by one from his personal miniature world.

The mysterious jade bead, the rubbing of the spiritual vein pattern, and the dark blue key artifact.

These are the three keys that Elder Shen mentioned for entering the Abyss Cave. Now, all three items have finally been gathered.

Half an hour later, Li Yuan arrived at the underground stone chamber in the Stone Wasteland of Mozhou through the teleportation array.

He didn't linger in the stone chamber, but immediately used earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to escape into the earth) to quickly advance deeper into the chamber along the main channel of the diversion system that he had already familiarized himself with.

The dual perception network of the earth vein spiritual pivot and the spiritual vein affinity spread out fully in the divine consciousness, and every fork in the road and every undercurrent along the way was clearly projected into the mind.

He quickly passed the previously explored flow chambers, traversed the abandoned mineral sorting areas, and continued towards the unknown areas deeper into the flow system.

Based on the inference, the entrance to the Abyss Cave is located nearby.

Li Yuan stopped and took out the Mysterious Jade Bead from his sleeve.

The spiritual energy sealed within the jade bead resonated immediately upon approaching the sealing layer in front, and a pale blue halo appeared on the surface of the bead.

The halo spread forward, and upon touching the sealing layer, a set of hidden array-like grooves slowly emerged on the originally lifeless rock wall.

The first key was successfully activated.

He then unfolded the rubbing of the spiritual vein pattern and fitted it perfectly into the blank area in the center of the groove.

The spiritual vein pattern on the rubbing and the array pattern in the groove are perfectly connected, like two small puzzle pieces that have been separated for many years being put back together.

The second key was successfully returned to its place.

Finally, Li Yuan took out the dark cyan key artifact.

The slender magical artifact glowed faintly as spiritual energy flowed into it, and the miniature array patterns at its tip began to synchronize with the frequency of the seal beneath its feet.

An embedding groove that perfectly matches the cross-section of the key artifact immediately appears at the edge of the groove.

Li Yuan raised his hand and forcefully embedded the key artifact into it.

Pure spiritual energy surged from the key artifact, spreading outwards along the array patterns in the groove.

The spiritual energy structure sealed on the rock wall began to loosen under the guidance of the common frequency of the three keys.

At this moment, the Netherworld Knowledge entry provided clear feedback during the process of assisting in opening the seal, and the effect of increasing spiritual power efficiency by 30% when breaking spatial seal-type restrictions was consistent throughout the entire opening process.

On the panel, the progress of making Netherworld Knowledge permanent has jumped to two-thirds.

The heavy seal unfolded completely from the center outwards.

The space beneath the sealing layer folded up, revealing the true entrance after the seal was broken.

A spatial rift about five feet wide floated silently in the cavity below the rock strata, its edges glowing with a pale blue light.

Without hesitation, Li Yuan leaped into the crevice.

After a brief spatial shift, an ancient stone palace came into view.

The hall was not large, about twenty feet square. The domed stone wall at the top was engraved with dense spatial spirit patterns, the style of which was exactly the same as that on the Xuan You Jade Bead and the key spirit artifact.

This is the interior of the Abyss Cave.

Directly in front of the hall is a tightly closed stone door, on which are engraved the three ancient characters "Xuanyou Outer Hall".

At this moment, the stone gate was still covered by a layer of defensive restrictions.

The Heavenly Pivot of the Array Formation in his mind operated automatically, rapidly analyzing the structure of the restriction.

This layer of restriction is of a mid-grade third rank. Its structure is messy but not complicated. This kind of spatial sealing restriction is more like a simple introductory test.

Li Yuan decisively used micro-control spirit technique to simultaneously release seven threads of spiritual energy, activating the restriction nodes one by one in the order given by the array dao tian shu.

As the last ray of light flashed, the restriction was completely lifted.

The heavy stone door groaned as it slowly slid open to the sides.

The outer hall is about ten zhang square inside, and the stone walls are also engraved with a large number of complex spiritual patterns.

In the center of the hall stood a stone platform with several items on it, but there was also a protective array of light in front of the platform.

A pale blue light enveloped the stone platform, and spiritual energy flowed slowly through its surface.

However, the light curtain was transparent, and all the items on the stone platform were exposed to the view.

On it were two main items: one was a jade pendant that was entirely dark white, with extremely fine spatial spirit patterns flowing on its surface; the other was a dark purple metal ring with spirit patterns of demonic energy engraved on its surface.

Beside the stone platform lay a storage bag, its opening open, revealing several jade slips inside.

Li Yuan stepped forward, passed through the light screen, and first reached out and picked up the dark white jade tablet.

As soon as it approached, a clear fluctuation of the abbreviation was immediately felt within a three-foot sensing range; it was a reaction unique to the purple grade.

He touched the surface of the jade plaque with his fingers.

[Equipable item detected: Mystic Ghost Talisman Jade (Spiritual Energy Inheritance Item)]

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Void Spirit Essence (Purple)]

[Effect: Permanently increases the quality of spiritual power by 50%, and allows the user to actively add spatial attributes when casting spells using spiritual power.]

[Preview of conditions for permanentization: Cultivation level reaches the mid-Nascent Soul stage, or a fourth-tier cultivation technique is cultivated to perfection]

This is a purple entry, but the conditions for making it permanent cannot be met yet.

He casually put down the jade pendant and turned to pick up the dark purple metal ring next to him.

He also sensed the fluctuations of a purple-grade inscription in his sea of ​​consciousness, and he reached out a finger to touch the ring.

[Equipable item detected: Mystic Demon Restriction Ring (Magic Path Inheritance Item)]

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Netherworld Demonic Essence (Purple)]

[Effect: Permanently increases the quality of demonic energy by 50%, and can actively add spatial attributes when casting spells with demonic energy.]

[Preview of conditions for permanentization: Kill a demonic cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, or cultivate a fourth-tier demonic cultivation technique to perfection]

These two inherited items, one spiritual and one demonic, are both top-tier purple-grade items.

However, the conditions for permanentization are very demanding and cannot be met in the short term.

Li Yuan simply put both inherited items into his personal microcosm without bothering to examine their specific effects.

Anyway, there's no rush to equip items with purple attributes. We can study them later when conditions are right.

He then opened the storage bag with the opening.

The bag contained fourteen jade slips of uniform material, all engraved with the Xuanyou Sect's logo.

Li Yuan quickly scanned the contents with his divine sense and found that they contained fourteen spells.

Four of them are third-tier spells, two are spiritual energy spells, two are demonic energy spells, and the remaining ten are all low-tier spells of first and second tier, covering various types of attacks, defenses, and support spells.

Among the third-tier spells, a spatial spiritual power spell caught Li Yuan's attention, but he knew that now was not the time to examine it closely.

After storing all the jade slips into his personal microcosm, the exploration of this outer hall was considered complete.

Li Yuan strode forward and continued walking inside, his gaze turning directly to the inner hall's stone door deep within.
