Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Chapter 633 Dragon Scale Golden Body

Leaving the sea, Li Yuan used his escape light to pass through the near-shore area, skimming over the desolate spiritual zone on the western edge of Shuizhou, and flying towards Liangzhou.

Wulin Market.

The stone door to the seclusion chamber was closed.

Li Yuan took out the dragon bone slip from his personal miniature world and placed it flat on the stone platform.

Li Yuan activated the Dragon Transformation Technique, drawing a wisp of dragon blood energy from the bone marrow layer and injecting it into the surface of the bone marrow.

The moment the blood energy came into contact with the bone slip, the dragon-patterned characters lit up line by line. Dark golden light seeped out from within the characters, slowly flowing along the strokes, and within a few breaths, the entire bone slip was completely covered by a dark golden halo.

The dragon-patterned characters were fully awakened by the activation of the dragon's blood energy, and the cultivation technique information carried by the characters flooded into the sea of ​​consciousness in a way that was far more complete than direct reading by divine sense.

Dragon Scale Golden Body Technique.

A complete system of dragon-based body-refining techniques.

The overall framework of the practice unfolded in the sea of ​​consciousness.

It is divided into three realms: Scaled Life, Golden Body, and Dragon Transformation.

Li Yuantong read it through and compared its level with his own proficiency level on his panel.

The beginner and advanced levels correspond to the Scaled Realm. The core is to condense the illusory scales on the body surface with the blood energy of the dragon, and the coverage area and hardness of the illusory scales increase with the level of proficiency.

Mastery corresponds to the Golden Body Realm. The core is to penetrate the illusory scales from the body surface into the body, forming an embedded scale structure in the various layers of muscles, fascia, and bones.

The Great Completion and Perfection correspond to the Dragon Transformation Realm. The core is the complete transformation of the physical body, either partially or entirely, into a dragon's physique. The ultimate goal of the Dragon Transformation Realm is to achieve physical strength comparable to that of a true dragon while maintaining human form.

This technique doesn't seem to be designed for dragons; rather, it has a human-like style.

The spiritual energy paths of the three realms unfolded layer by layer in the sea of ​​consciousness.

The analysis speed of Wanfa Xizhen is doubled and operating at full capacity.

Li Yuan circulated the spiritual energy path of the first level of the Dragon Scale Golden Body Technique, the Scale Life Realm.

The dragon's blood energy surged from the bone marrow layer, advancing towards the body surface along the path of the cultivation technique. The blood energy passed through the muscle layer and fascia layer, and began to condense upon reaching the skin surface.

A very thin layer of dark blue film appeared on the surface of the forearm skin.

The light film has a vaguely scale-like shape, but its density is extremely low, covering less than 30% of the forearm, and its hardness is only slightly higher than that of the skin itself.

This is the level of the Scale Armor Illusion in the beginner stage.

Dragon Scale Golden Body Technique, Beginner Level.

The moment the introductory stage was completed, the spiritual energy pathways of the Dragon Transformation Technique within the body spontaneously responded.

Within the bone marrow layer, the semi-automatic circulation path of the Dragon Transformation Technique and the spiritual energy guidance path of the Dragon Scale Golden Body Technique connected at a common starting point. The flow of dragon blood energy from the two paths was automatically distributed at the connection point, with a portion supplying the Dragon Transformation Technique inward and the portion supplying the Dragon Scale Golden Body Technique outward.

During subsequent cultivation, you only need to activate any one of the techniques, and the other will automatically follow suit. The cultivation efficiency is much higher than cultivating either technique alone.

Li Yuan finished his work and put the bone slip back into his personal microcosm.

Leave the seclusion room and head to the main hall.

Ji Wenyuan was already waiting in the main hall. A thick stack of documents was placed on the table.

"Master, the second section of the connecting road is now complete."

Ji Wenyuan opened the document to the first page, which contained the updated roadmap.

The thick line extends southeast from the first supply station, passing through the second and third supply stations, and finally connecting to the west gate of Yunyang Market. The three supply stations are evenly distributed along the line, each equipped with a simple stone house, a small spirit-gathering array, and basic defensive barriers.

"All three supply stations are now operational. The areas where monsters were active along the way have been cleared, and there are currently no signs of new monsters returning. The number of resident independent cultivators has exceeded 1,700 and continues to grow."

Ji Wenyuan turned to the next page.

"In addition, the Mingyuan Chamber of Commerce has expanded to three branch stations along the road, located in three different supply stations. The monthly revenue is already quite substantial, more than double what it was before the road was completed."

Li Yuan glanced at the numbers and nodded.

"What about the survivors?"

"Everything is arranged." Ji Wenyuan pulled a page from the bottom of the document.

"The eight Qi Refining stage cultivators were divided into two groups. Four were responsible for the daily management and harvesting in the spirit fields, two were doing preliminary processing of materials in the water, and the remaining two were doing regular patrols in the low-level array inspection group in the outer market area. It was all physical work, which did not require too high a cultivation level, and they did it very diligently."

"One of the two early Foundation Establishment stage cultivators is in the spirit material warehouse, and the other has been transferred to the formation maintenance team to do miscellaneous tasks. They are both adapting well."

Manager Zhou was still in charge of bookkeeping at the trading house. He had a good foundation in mathematics, and he never made any mistakes in inventory counting and account reconciliation.

Ji Wenyuan closed the book.

"Overall, the survivors have exceeded expectations. Having spent so many years underground in Mozhou, they adapted to the new environment much faster than anticipated. With abundant spiritual energy, their cultivation levels have rebounded significantly after several Qi Refining stages, and their work efficiency has also increased."

Li Yuan nodded without asking any further questions.

Ji Wenyuan put away the documents and took his leave.

The stone door to the seclusion chamber was closed.

Li Yuan took out the blueprints for a third-order lightning-attribute defensive formation from the Four Symbols Thunder Sect's underwater stronghold from his personal miniature world.

He probed the jade slip with his divine sense.

The formation is designed with lightning-attribute spiritual power as its core driving force. When an external attack touches the defensive wall, the wall will release a counterattack in the form of pulses of lightning-attribute spiritual power, inflicting lightning-attribute damage on the attacker while defending itself.

The formation has eight core nodes and twenty auxiliary nodes, with three nested spiritual energy loops.

The structure is not extremely complex, but the high-frequency pulses of lightning-attribute spiritual energy place high demands on the durability of the node materials. Ordinary spirit stones used as array nodes will have their lifespan significantly shortened under lightning-attribute pulses.

Li Yuan took out three pieces of second-grade high-quality lightning ore he had brought back from the underwater stronghold, as well as the lightning pattern ore he had previously collected, from his personal miniature world.

Thunder-attribute ore serves as the core array element, while thunder-patterned ore acts as a spiritual energy buffer material for auxiliary nodes.

The formation was chosen to be located in the center of the town, and its deployment would protect the entire town.

The formation begins.

Eight core nodes are evenly spaced on the open ground, with thunder ore embedded in their core positions. Twenty auxiliary nodes are positioned sequentially, with thunder ore filling the buffer slots. Three nested loops are then connected in sequence.

The node coordination efficiency of the array symbol fusion entry operates throughout the array deployment process, and the positioning accuracy of each node reaches an extremely high level.

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

A third-tier lightning-attribute defensive formation appeared.

Pulses of lightning-attribute spiritual energy spread outward from the array's core, forming a high-frequency cycle between the twenty auxiliary nodes. Driven by the pulse cycle, the defensive wall condensed and took shape, with faint purple arcs of electricity visible jumping across its surface.

A fluctuation of the text was felt at the core of the formation.

[Equipable item detected: Thunder Array Eye Stone]

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Thunderous Guardian (Blue)]

[Effect: Increases the power of lightning spells by 30%. When damaged, a lightning barrier can be generated on the body as a defense.]

[Preview of Permanentization Requirements: Master one lightning-based spell to perfection]

The moment the formation was activated, a reaction occurred within the personal miniature world.

Kunpeng Array Pearl.

The condition for making the "Kunpeng Guardian of Breath" entry permanent is: Deploy a Tier 3 defensive formation.

The third-tier lightning-attribute defensive formation has been set up, and the conditions have been met.

The Kunpeng Array Bead dissipated within the personal miniature world. A stream of blue light penetrated the walls of the miniature world and surged into the body, spreading along the meridians and nascent soul simultaneously.

The screen filled with images.

It is a scene of a cultivator practicing a technique related to the recovery of spiritual energy, with a large amount of experience about the circulation of spiritual energy flowing in.

The image disappeared.

Kunpeng guards its breath, and permanence is complete.

Spiritual energy recovery speed is permanently increased by 50%. Self-defense is permanently increased by 30%, and can be further increased by consuming spiritual energy.

Li Yuan closed his eyes to perceive the changes after the process became permanent.

The most noticeable improvement is in the speed of spiritual energy recovery. The efficiency with which the Nascent Soul absorbs and converts spiritual energy from the outside world is nearly 50% faster than before. This means that the endurance of spiritual energy reserves has seen a significant leap during continuous combat or high-intensity cultivation.

The 30% increase in defense is integrated into both the physical body and the spiritual energy protection. Even without actively casting any defensive spells, the protective effect of the spiritual energy spontaneously condensing on the body's surface is significantly stronger than before. When actively consuming spiritual energy, the defense can continue to stack on top of the 30% increase, with the maximum increase depending on the total amount of spiritual energy invested.

The cyclical principle of the Kunpeng Guardian Formation had also settled into his sea of ​​consciousness. The defensive philosophy of using defense as offense and integrating offense and defense had reference value for his own formation principles and combat style.

Li Yuan opened his eyes and sat cross-legged on the stone platform.

The method of returning to the origin of the infant is activated.

The nascent soul's spiritual energy circulated within the body along the path of the fourth-tier cultivation technique. The permanent enhancement of the Kunpeng Guardian Breath, increasing spiritual energy recovery speed by 50%, combined with previous multiple buffs, caused the speed of spiritual energy circulation to surge once again.

It is constantly approaching the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

The Dragon Transformation Technique and the Dragon Scale Golden Body Technique operated silently and in tandem during breaks in cultivation, with the dragon's blood energy circulating between the bone marrow and the body surface. The ancient dragon's fangs remained active in the equipment slot, and the timer for the infusion of dragon blood energy steadily progressed.

The secluded room fell silent.
