Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Chapter 651 The Perfection of Thunder Technique

The third level of the Dark Abyss Mine Valley.

The confluence of three spiritual veins.

Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the rock platform, circulating the Nascent Soul Returning to Origin Technique. The Spirit Ore Nourishing Equipment's attributes remained active, increasing the absorption efficiency of spiritual energy in the spiritual vein environment by 50% compared to normal.

The permanent timing process is ongoing.

Besides Li Yuan, there were two other guards on the third level of the mining valley.

One is in the early stage of Nascent Soul, and the other is in the late stage of Golden Core.

One day during a break from cultivation, Li Yuan encountered the early Nascent Soul stage cultivator guarding the entrance to the third-level passage.

The male cultivator appeared to be in his fifties, dressed in a long robe in the style of the Mingyuan Sect, with a calm and composed expression.

"Fellow Daoist, are you also cultivating in the mining valley?" the male cultivator greeted.

"I accepted the patrol mission and will also spend some time cultivating at the confluence of spiritual veins," Li Yuan said.

The male cultivator nodded and casually said, "Recently, the sect's mission hall has seen a significant increase in high-level missions, while the mining valley has become relatively quiet."

I heard that the higher-ups are preparing something big.

"What big move?"

The male cultivator answered casually.

"Netherworld Wars"

Li Yuan's gaze narrowed slightly.

"There's not much specific information, but rumors have been circulating for a while," the male cultivator said casually, leaning against the wall of the passage. "It's said they're preparing to wage war against other sects in the lower realm."

"It happens every now and then; no matter how fierce the fighting is in the lower realm, it doesn't affect the upper realm."

"Can't a Nascent Soul cultivator go down and resolve the issue directly?"

"It's not that simple." The male cultivator shook his head.

"It's relatively easy for Nascent Soul cultivators who ascend from their native realm to return to the lower realm they were in before their ascension, but even then, the losses are heavy. It's almost impossible for Nascent Soul cultivators from the upper realm to forcibly descend to a lower realm they've never been to before. Spatial passages have extremely strong resistance to the spiritual power of Nascent Soul level cultivators, and even if they could force their way through, the losses would be enormous, making it a losing proposition."

He paused.

"The same applies to other Nascent Soul cultivators who ascended from the lower realms."

"So the wars in the lower realms are basically fought by those at the Nascent Soul stage and the Golden Core stage?"

"That's right. The cost for Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators to travel through the passage is much lower; they can travel back and forth with the protection of pills and talismans. Therefore, once a war breaks out, sects will recruit a large number of Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators to carry out missions."

The male cultivator glanced at Li Yuan.

"Fellow Daoist, you're a retainer from the lower realm, right? If a real fight breaks out, you'll probably be the first to be conscripted."

Li Yuan didn't reply, but nodded.

They returned to the confluence of spiritual veins to continue their cultivation.

Li Yuan took out the Thunder Essence Convergence Pearl from his personal miniature world and put it into his equipment slot.

The triple bonuses stack up simultaneously.

Lightning pulses surged from the nascent soul and flowed into the skeletal conduction network.

In the early stages of development, the skeletal microstructure has completely integrated with the lightning conduction network, becoming indistinguishable from each other. After each pulse completes its full-body circulation within the bones, the bones' ability to withstand lightning increases slightly.

The seclusion lasted for several days.

The microstructure of the skeleton underwent a slow but continuous qualitative change during high-intensity tempering.

Thunderous Bone Refining Technique, perfected.

Li Yuan clenched his fist, sensing the changes inside his bones.

A very subtle tingling sensation spread through my entire body's bones; it was a sensory feedback from the spontaneous generation of lightning energy within them. The tingling sensation persisted, though not intensely, and did not subside.

The bone strength at the Great Completion stage is a level higher than that at the Lesser Completion stage.

The spontaneous lightning force inside the skeleton continuously circulates in the conduction network, like an inner layer of protection that never fades.

The Thunder Essence Orb shimmered faintly in the equipment slot.

The condition for permanent Thunder Essence Condensation Meridian: Mastering a third-tier Thunder-type cultivation technique.

The Thunderous Bone Refining Technique has just reached its peak. The conditions are met.

The Thunder Essence Orb vanished from the equipment slot. A stream of blue light surged into the body, spreading along the Thunder-attribute auxiliary meridians.

The images flooded into my mind.

The auxiliary meridians of the lightning element within the body are clearly presented in the image, and the capacity of the meridians is permanently expanded under the infusion of light.

An influx of experience regarding the maintenance and expansion of the Thunder-related auxiliary meridians.

The image disappeared.

The Thunder Essence Vein Condensation has been permanently completed.

The spiritual energy capacity of the lightning-attribute auxiliary meridians within the body is permanently increased by 50%. When cultivating two or more lightning-attribute techniques simultaneously, the synergistic effect is permanently enhanced by 30%.

At the same time, a reaction occurred in the personal miniature world.

Thunderous Marrow Cleansing Pill.

The condition for making the Lei Gang Meridian Continuation entry permanent is: mastering the Lei Gang Bone Refining Technique.

The conditions are met.

With a thought, blue light surged into Li Yuan's body, spreading simultaneously along his meridians and skeletal system.

The images flooded into my mind.

It was a cultivator practicing a lightning-based technique, and a wealth of detailed experience regarding the transmission of lightning-attribute spiritual power between bones and meridians was flowing into him.

The image disappeared.

The Thunderous Qi Continuation Meridian has been permanently completed.

Lightning-elemental spiritual energy transmission loss between bones and meridians is permanently reduced by 30%. The power of lightning spells is permanently increased by 30%. The refinement of lightning-elemental spiritual energy is permanently increased by 30%.

Two consecutive blue entries are made permanent.

Li Yuan closed his eyes to perceive the overall changes after the two entries were made permanent.

The lightning-attribute spiritual power system has undergone a complete qualitative change.

The conduction loss is permanently reduced by 30%, and the condensation is permanently increased by 30% (Thunderous Meridian Continuation). Combined with the previous 30% increase in the condensation of Thunderous Essence, the quality of Thunderous Spiritual Power is already extremely high after the two are combined.

The permanent 50% increase in the capacity of the auxiliary meridians means a significant increase in the total amount of lightning-attribute spiritual power that can be stored in the body. The permanent 30% enhancement of the dual-line mutual promotion further improves the mutual promotion efficiency between the fully automatic condensation of the Thunder Tempering Yuan Technique at the mastery stage and the spontaneous generation of lightning power at the great completion stage of the Thunder Gang Bone Refining Technique.

A permanent 30% increase in the power of lightning spells directly boosts combat strength.

With the superposition of multiple permanent attributes, the cultivation speed of the Thunder Crack Technique has undergone a leap.

With the support of his Nascent Soul cultivation, he reached the mastery level on the second day.

Thunder Cleave Technique, mastered.

The training in thunder magic has come to an end.

Li Yuan turned his attention back to alchemy.

The fourth-tier alchemy furnace was taken out of his personal miniature world and set up on the rocky platform on the third level of the mining valley. The concentration of spiritual energy at the confluence of spiritual veins was extremely high, and the furnace's passive absorption efficiency of the surrounding spiritual energy was better than that in his dwelling when refining pills.

The quality of the pills steadily improved with each continuous refining process. The eighth batch broke through the high-grade threshold for the first time, with the spiritual light on the surface of the pills becoming more concentrated and the distribution of medicinal power being a level higher than that of the mid-grade pills.

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

The other two guards each had their own cultivation area in the valley, far away from Li Yuan's location, and were not disturbed at all.

The permanent timer for the Spirit Ore's essence continued to advance during the training in the mining valley.

They regularly traveled between their residence and the mining valley, alternating between alchemy, cultivation, and guard duty.
