Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Chapter 617: Kongmai Tongyuan

Tianyue Market.

A whole column of task bars has been added to the three walls of the contribution exchange area.

Li Yuan stood in front of the task list and scanned its contents with his divine sense.

All of them are alchemy tasks.

There are many types of items, ranging from mid-grade Tier 2 to high-grade Tier 3. Rewards are calculated based on contribution points, with higher grades yielding richer rewards.

The task issuer is uniformly labeled as Tianyue Sect, but some of the material supply information indicates that the main materials are provided by the Upper Realm.

The Tianyue Sect steward in charge of receiving Li Yuan noticed him standing in front of the task board and took the initiative to come over.

"Lord Li, this batch of alchemy tasks was issued by Elder Zhou Heng three days ago. The Mingyuan Sect has a great demand for pills, and the Tianyue Sect's own alchemists are not enough, so it has been opened to the public."

"The Upper Realm has no shortage of alchemists," Li Yuan said.

"It's not lacking."

The deacon lowered his voice, "But alchemists from the upper realm are expensive. Alchemists from the lower realm use spiritual materials from the lower realm to refine pills from the lower realm, and their rewards are settled with contribution points. For Mingyuan Sect, this is much more cost-effective than directly recruiting alchemists from the upper realm."

Li Yuan didn't ask any more questions and turned his attention back to the taskbar.

The reward for completing the third-tier pill task is not low, and with my alchemy skills at a minor level, I can easily complete it in batches.

Resources from the upper realm still have value to oneself. Fourth-tier pill formulas, fourth-tier spiritual materials, and fragments of special cultivation techniques all require contribution points to exchange for.

Li Yuan selected several third-tier pill refining tasks from the task list, and noticed a task with a special mark at the very bottom.

Name of the elixir: Kongmai Tongyuan Dan (空脉通元丹).

The recipe is provided directly by the Mingyuan Sect. The main ingredient is spiritual material from the upper realm, while the auxiliary ingredients can be obtained from the lower realm. The reward is three times that of a normal third-tier mission.

The description of the pill's effects in the mission instructions is very brief: After taking it, an unstable spatial attribute spiritual vein will be opened in the body, which will have a negative impact on the cultivator. The spiritual vein will last for about one to three months before it dissipates on its own.

To open up unstable spatial spiritual veins within the body.

Spatial attributes.

Li Yuan glanced at it a couple more times.

The teleportation process through spatial channels puts immense pressure on the human body, something we already knew from our previous experience setting up auxiliary teleportation arrays. The auxiliary teleportation arrays exist to buffer this pressure, preventing cultivators from being torn apart by spatial forces when passing through the channels.

If a cultivator has a spiritual vein with spatial attributes within their body, then when passing through a spatial channel, the spiritual vein can actively absorb and buffer spatial power, which is equivalent to having an additional pressure-reducing structure within the body.

This kind of elixir is most likely prepared for cultivators who travel through spatial channels.

Li Yuan accepted this special mission, along with several other regular third-tier alchemy missions.

The steward handed Li Yuan the jade slip containing the elixir recipe corresponding to the special mission and the main materials from the upper realm.

The formula in the jade slip is based on the condensation and release of spatial attribute spiritual power, which is different from all the pills Li Yuan has refined before.

The main material from the upper realm is a spiritual plant called the Void Vein Grass, which is semi-transparent and has roots that tremble slightly within a protective layer of spiritual energy. Its surface has extremely fine spatial spiritual patterns naturally distributed.

After collecting the materials, Li Yuan left Tianyue Market and transformed into a beam of light, flying towards Wulin Market.

The stone door to the seclusion chamber was closed.

The furnace platform was set up, and the fire of alchemy was lit.

With the Blazing Sun Bright Fire Technique activated, the Nascent Soul's spiritual power achieved extremely high precision in controlling the pill fire.

Let's start with the regular third-tier pills.

The first batch of Qingyuan Pills yielded three pills of superior quality.

The second batch of the Nourishing Essence and Strengthening Wood Pill yielded three pills of superior quality.

The Lesser Mastery of Alchemy allows for proactive quality control, ensuring that the quality of the produced pills remains consistently at a superior level. Material waste is extremely low, and efficiency far surpasses that of ordinary alchemists.

After refining several batches of regular pills, Li Yuan took out the formula for the Kongmai Tongyuan Pill.

He probed the jade slip containing the elixir formula with his divine sense.

The core of the compatibility logic is the medicinal properties of the Empty Vein and Root Grass. After the pill is finally formed, a microscopic spatial spiritual pattern pathway is formed inside the pill. The user's spiritual power can temporarily open up a spatial attribute spiritual vein in the body by circulating along this pathway.

Analysis complete.

Start the furnace.

The auxiliary materials are added to the alchemy furnace one by one, and blended in the order and at the time required by the formula.

Empty Veined Root Grass was added in the final stage of the fusion process.

The moment the grass came into contact with the auxiliary material fusion liquid, the spatial spirit patterns on the roots began to spontaneously light up and expand.

Compression, shaping, and extraction.

Two pills lay quietly at the bottom of the furnace. They were translucent, with a very fine silver-white line faintly visible running through them.

The Kongmai Tongyuan Dan is of medium to high quality.

The first batch was a success.

Li Yuan took out a pill.

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

Green grade.

Touch the surface of the pill with your finger.

[Equipable item detected: Void Meridian Opening Pill (Spatial Spirit Meridian Pill)]

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Void Channeling (Green)]

[Effect: Increases spiritual energy efficiency by 30% when casting spatial spells; greatly enhances the accuracy of spatial structure perception]

[Preview of the conditions for permanentization: Cultivating a technique with spatial attributes]

The first batch was of above-average quality, meeting the criteria for medium-grade or higher. Progress completed 1/5.

I don't plan to take this pill. Its effect is to open up unstable spatial veins within my body, which isn't of much value to me and could even have adverse effects.

The permanent spatial attribute stacking within oneself is already powerful enough; having an additional unstable temporary spiritual vein would only interfere with the circulation of spiritual energy within the body.

The income from elixirs can be carried along within the small world.

In the following days, Li Yuan focused on completing the alchemy task.

Regular Tier 3 pills are produced steadily at a rate of two to three batches per day, and the quality of all pills is maintained at the top grade.

An extra batch of Kongmai Tongyuan Pills was refined for the mission delivery, and its quality was also above average.

After completing the task, Li Yuan delivered the finished pills to the Tianyuefang Market Contribution Exchange Office for unified delivery.

After the deacon finished counting, the contribution points were credited to the account.

"The quality of the pills produced by Li Gongfeng is extremely high." The steward looked satisfied.

"A new batch of alchemy tasks will be released in the future. You can come and collect them whenever you have time."

Li Yuan nodded.

The balance of contribution points increased significantly within a few days.

After leaving Tianyue Market, Li Yuan returned to Wulin Market.

The cultivation continues.

The Dragon Breath Slowing Rune remains in effect.

Permanentization progress is approximately day 10.

One evening, Ji Wenyuan was waiting for a report in the main hall.

"Master, all the survivors of the Mo Zhou uprising have been settled."

Ji Wenyuan placed a roster on the table.

"There are eleven people in total: one in the late Foundation Establishment stage, two in the early Foundation Establishment stage, and eight in the Qi Refining stage. They are all relatively old and have relatively low cultivation levels, but they are all honest and hardworking."

"What arrangements have been made?"

"The old man in the late Foundation Establishment stage is literate and has a good foundation in mathematics, so he was assigned to the trading house to help with inventory and bookkeeping. The two early Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were assigned to the spirit material warehouse and the array maintenance group in the outer market area to do odd jobs. All eight Qi Refining stage cultivators were assigned to the spirit fields and the logistics group to do some physical labor."

Ji Wenyuan flipped through the roster.

"They've been in Mozhou for too long and lack experience, so they're not quite used to how the markets operate, but they learn very quickly. The spiritual energy concentration here is much better than in Mozhou, and the cultivation levels of several Qi Refining stage cultivators have improved significantly. They're very motivated."

Li Yuan glanced at the roster and nodded.

"Can."

Ji Wenyuan put away the roster and took his leave.

The stone door to the seclusion chamber was closed.

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

The nascent soul's spiritual power flows along the path of the fourth-tier cultivation technique, and the 80% acceleration effect of the permanent "Nourish Nascent Soul" attribute continues to accumulate.

The third-order spirit-gathering array within the body draws spiritual energy into the entire body.

Although the concentration of spiritual energy has decreased due to the converging effect of the new formation, the gradient structure of the permanent attribute of the Spirit Gathering Base continues to operate, and the concentration in the core area remains at a usable level.

The meditation room fell silent, and spiritual energy flowed silently.
