Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Chapter 628 Nourishing Meridians in a Small Realm

The beam of light descended into the Misty Forest Market.

The stone door to the seclusion chamber was closed.

Li Yuan took out all the materials he had brought back from the Four Symbols Thunder Sect stronghold from his personal miniature world and laid them out on the stone platform.

Three pieces of thunder-type ore, two jade slip fragments, and a fragment of a pill formula.

The fragments of the prescription were unfolded first.

The text on the tattered page was preserved by a seal of lightning-attribute spiritual power, and the handwriting was clear. It recorded the core ingredients and the final three steps of a lightning-based body-refining elixir.

The contents of the two jade slip fragments complement the remaining pages. The fragments record the first half of the same elixir recipe, including a list of auxiliary materials, the order of addition, and the temperature control requirements for the first four steps.

The three are combined.

The complete formula took shape in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Thunderous Marrow Cleansing Pill. Third-tier, high-grade. Thunder-based body-refining pill.

The Four Symbols Thunder Sect's own elixir formula was specifically designed for the Thunderous Bone Refining Technique.

The main ingredient is powdered Thunder Marrow Stone, and the auxiliary ingredients include Thunder Dragon Tendon Extract and several common Tier 3 spiritual herbs.

I already have the main materials and some of the auxiliary materials on hand. I brought back three pieces of Thunder Marrow Stone from the stronghold, and the Thunder Dragon Tendon was also obtained from the stronghold. The rest of the spiritual herbs are stored in my personal small world.

All materials are complete.

The alchemical furnace was set up, and the alchemical fire was lit.

The mastery of the third-order alchemy technique at its peak allows for unparalleled control over third-order pills. The changing trends of the medicinal properties at each step of the formula are fully unfolded in the mind's eye before the pill is even added, eliminating the need for on-the-spot judgment; execution simply requires following the pre-determined plan.

The auxiliary materials were added one by one. The powdered thunder marrow stone was added in the final stage, which produced a violent thunder resonance with the thunder dragon tendon leachate.

Compression, shaping, and extraction.

Three pills lay quietly at the bottom of the alchemy furnace. They were pale purple in color, with extremely fine lightning-like veins faintly visible on their surface, distributed like capillaries.

Three pieces. All are of superior quality.

With the Perfected Alchemy Technique, there is no longer any doubt about the yield and quality control of third-tier pill formulas.

Li Yuan took out a pill.

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

Blue grade.

Touch the surface of the pill with your finger.

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Thunderous Qi Continuation (Blue)]

[Effect: Reduces the loss of lightning-attribute spiritual energy during conduction between bones and meridians by 30%; increases the power of lightning spells by 30%; increases the refinement of lightning-attribute spiritual energy by 30%]

[Preview of Permanentization Conditions: Master the Thunderous Bone Refining Technique]

Blue entry. Some effects complement the permanent "Thunderous Bone Tempering" entry.

Thunderous Bone Tempering improves tempering efficiency and bone conductivity, while Thunderous Meridian Continuation reduces conduction loss, further enhancing the efficiency of Thunderous Body Refinement.

When the two are combined, the overall cultivation speed of the Thunderous Bone Refining Technique will experience a significant leap.

However, the condition for permanent attainment is that the Thunderous Bone Refining Technique must be mastered to its highest level. Currently, the Thunderous Bone Refining Technique is only at the beginner level, and there are three stages—proficiency, mastery, and minor mastery—to reach mastery.

It took quite a while.

The pills are stored in my personal world and will not be equipped for now. I will add them to my equipment slot later when needed.

Li Yuan then sorted out a batch of supplies.

Several batches of top-grade third-tier pills were produced, mainly Qingyuan Pills and Peiyuan Gumu Pills. In addition, three exquisite-grade Stabilizing Domain Talismans were selected.

After the supplies were prepared, they transformed into streaks of light and left the Misty Forest City, flying towards the sea.

The light passed through the desolate area on the western edge of Shuizhou and entered the sea area.

As it approached the old main island, the massive fourth-order divine sense swept over, paused for a moment, and then withdrew.

The short, stout man walked out from the direction of the council hall.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you're here again."

Li Yuan handed over the storage bag.

"Fifth batch. Eight batches of Tier 3 pills, all of superior quality. In addition, three high-quality spatial talismans were added."

The short, stout man took the storage bag, opened it, glanced at it, and narrowed his large eyes.

"The quality of the pills is even better than last time."

He stuffed the storage bag into his robe and patted his bulging belly.

"Senior, there's something I'd like to ask you," Li Yuan said.

"explain."

"Do you have a map of the deep sea, senior?"

The short, stout man paused for a moment as he poured the wine.

How deep?

"About 1,500 li to the southeast."

The short, stout man's vertical pupils contracted slightly before returning to normal.

"Fifteen hundred li—that's quite far." He took a swig of wine. "I don't have a map, but I can draw one for you on the spot. The accuracy won't be great, but the general directions and the distribution of monsters along the way will be fairly accurate."

After speaking, the short, stout man took out a leather scroll from his storage bag. The scroll slowly began to glow with spiritual light, recording a map.

After the burning was completed, the animal hide spool was thrown over.

"Take it and use it."

Li Yuan took the scroll and put it away.

"Thank you, senior."

The short, stout man waved his hand, then looked at Li Yuan with his excessively large eyes.

"You always send too much stuff. Whether it's pills, spiritual herbs, or ores, in exchange for the information and maps I provide, you're always losing out."

He patted his stomach.

"What else do we need?"

Li Yuan thought about it.

"Not at the moment. I'll owe you for now, and I'll contact you again if I need anything later."

The short, stout man laughed heartily.

"Okay. Fine, I'll leave it at that."

He bid farewell and left the Demon Toad Palace.

The escape light turned towards Liangzhou, detouring to the headquarters of the Loose Cultivator Alliance.

Li Yuan found his target under the category of spiritual veins.

Small-scale spiritual vein. The lowest grade, about three zhang in length, with extremely limited spiritual energy output, but the price is relatively acceptable.

Exchange for two.

The spiritual veins are sealed in two narrow jade boxes with a special protective layer of spiritual energy. After being taken out, they need to be activated in an environment with sufficient spiritual energy to resume operation.

Two small spiritual veins were collected into the personal miniature world.

Arriving at the residence provided for him on the main island, he probed his consciousness into the inner world of the smaller realm.

Within a space approximately ten zhang square, spirit fields and water bodies lined either side, with spirit plant growth-promoting arrays continuously operating. The concentration of spiritual energy was slightly higher than the outside environment.

Li Yuan selected the blank area between the spiritual field and the water area, took out two small spiritual veins from the jade box, and embedded them into the spatial structure at the bottom of the small realm.

The spiritual veins slowly resumed operation under the activation of spiritual energy, and extremely fine threads of spiritual energy seeped out from the spiritual veins and spread to the surrounding area.

The output is very low. The combined spiritual energy output of the two miniature spiritual veins is less than the concentration of spiritual energy in the environment outside the small realm.

But the goal is not production, but cultivation.

The Spirit Vein Cultivation Technique is then continuously used to gradually upgrade the Spirit Vein's grade. As the grade increases, the output of spiritual energy will also increase, and the conditions for permanentizing the Vein Source Nourishment attribute will also be advanced.

Deployment complete.

Li Yuan withdrew his attention from Xiao Jie and walked out of the house.

"Have you heard? Some rogue cultivators claim to have encountered a Nascent Soul cultivator in the middle of the sea. The cultivator left without revealing his identity."

"I heard they went to loot the historical sites."

Two Foundation Establishment cultivators were strolling around the main island, chatting about something.

"Could it be a cultivator from the upper realm? In our sea area, there's only one Nascent Soul cultivator from the Kunpeng Alliance."

"Are these cultivators from the upper realm just bored? Coming to rob us?"

Nascent Soul cultivator.

It seems, or probably, to be myself.

After listening, Li Yuan transformed into a beam of light and flew towards the depths of the sea.

After the escape light passed through the desolate spiritual zone on the western edge of Shuizhou and entered the sea area, Li Yuan activated the Dragon Transformation Technique.

The dragon's blood energy was drawn from the bone marrow layer by the cultivation technique, and after mixing with the nascent soul's spiritual power, it slowly circulated within the body along the path of the cultivation technique.

The marine environment provides a natural advantage for cultivating the Dragon Transformation Technique.

The spiritual energy pathway of the Dragon Transformation Technique showed significantly stronger feedback in the bone marrow layer compared to when cultivating in the secluded chamber.

The dragon blood energy in the bone marrow layer became more active under the stimulation of the dragon aura, and the mixing with the nascent soul spiritual power became smoother, with the efficiency of forming the composite driving force being about 20% higher than before.

The Dragon Transformation Technique is still in its introductory stage, but the spiritual energy pathways for beginners have been honed more rapidly by the marine environment, bringing it very close to mastery.

The escape beam continued to fly in a southeasterly direction, gradually moving away from the near-shore area and entering the deep sea.

There are two objectives in the sea area we are visiting.

The ancient dragon's lair, marked by the dragon-patterned map on the wall, lies deeper and furthest away. Another remaining sea stronghold from the Four Symbols Thunder Sect token is located on the outer seabed ridge, roughly coinciding with the route to the dragon's lair.

After a brief deduction, Li Yuan decided to first explore the Four Symbols Thunder Sect's stronghold in the sea area. If he could find thunder techniques, pill formulas, or old sect artifacts there, it would be helpful for further exploration of the sea area.
