Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Chapter 721 Dragon Core Enters Marrow, Light Veins Achieve Great Success

Wulinfang Market, residence.

Li Yuan took out a Dragon Soul Condensation Pill and put it in his mouth.

The permanent "Nurturing Infant Spirit" attribute is activated, doubling the medicinal effect. The blue attribute of the Dragon Soul Pill also takes effect, increasing bloodline purification efficiency by another 50%.

The dark golden medicinal power spread along the blood vessels, bypassing the meridians and directly entering the dragon's blood circulation. The self-purification cycle of the Dragon Blood Condensation Technique, after its minor completion, automatically activated, stripping and absorbing the blood essence from the medicinal power, while pushing impurities to the extremities for excretion.

The purification speed is more than twice as fast as before.

After the effects of the medicine wore off, Li Yuan did not continue taking pills, but instead opened the entrance to his personal miniature world.

Six small spiritual veins are distributed throughout the small realm, with the Enlightenment Tree occupying the most concentrated confluence of spiritual energy. The spatial spirit-gathering array continues to operate, maintaining a stable spiritual energy concentration three times that of the outside world.

Li Yuan's gaze fell on three adjacent small spiritual veins in the southeast direction.

These three spiritual veins have the most abundant spiritual energy, are located close to each other, and have the smallest frequency difference among the six spiritual veins. Last time, the fusion of the spiritual veins within the body relied on the Qi Cultivation Technique to guide the frequency synchronization, and then the purple inscription "Myriad Spirits Returning to the Vein" coordinated the resonance. Although the minor realm spiritual veins are not within the body, their pathways are the same.

Li Yuan used spatial folding to pull the ends of the three spiritual veins to the same intersection point. It wasn't a physical movement, but rather the compression of the spatial distance between the two points, causing the ends of the three spiritual veins to overlap in spatial structure.

The Qi-Nourishing Spirit Technique is activated.

Spiritual energy transformed into fine threads that penetrated the three spiritual veins, acting as a resonance medium. The breathing frequencies of the three spiritual veins attracted each other, slowly drawing closer together.

An hour later, Li Yuan finished his practice.

The frequency difference between the three spiritual veins narrowed from 15% to just over 10%, and the spiritual energy at the confluence began to permeate each other, with signs of fusion appearing on the walls. At this rate, it would be completed in three to five attempts.

Li Yuan withdrew his spiritual power, closed the entrance to the small world, and re-established the alchemy furnace.

The Dragon Soul Condensation Pill continues to be refined.

The tenth furnace.

Dragon Soul Grass is placed in the furnace, and the alchemical fire rises. The medicinal power is extracted, the essence is injected, and auxiliary medicines are added in batches. After the elixir core is formed, the medicinal power is concentrated, and two exquisite pills are produced.

The Dragon Soul Condensing Pill began to dissipate in the equipment slot, and a stream of blue light flowed out of the equipment slot and into Li Yuan's body.

The scene unfolds in the sea of ​​consciousness.

A cultivator sat in a cave surrounded by the skeleton of a dragon, with the spiritual fire of a pill furnace flickering before him. Dragon Soul Grass melted in the furnace, its dark golden medicinal power mingling with the essence of the dragon's blood. Once the pill core was formed, it had a deep luster and a long-lasting medicinal effect.

The scene shifts to another cultivator taking the pill, its dark gold medicinal power surging into his bloodline. Under the catalysis of the medicinal power, the dragon's blood energy is rapidly purified, impurities are expelled in large quantities, and the concentration of the dragon's aura steadily increases.

The image fades away.

[Permanentization complete]

【Dragon Soul Elixir - Blue】

[Effect: Permanently increases the success rate of pill refining by 30%, and the effect of dragon-type pills is further increased by 30%; increases the efficacy of pills taken by 50%, and increases the effect of dragon-type cultivation techniques by 30%.]

The knowledge of the elixir formula was integrated into the sea of ​​consciousness, and subsequent refining was unaffected. Several bonuses were also solidified.

Li Yuan closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment. After the Dragon Soul Pill's essence became permanent, the purification efficiency of the undigested portion of the medicinal power in his body jumped even higher. The dragon blood energy circulated in his blood vessels, and its concentration slowly increased.

After the Dragon Soul Pill was made permanent, Li Yuan took out the Dark Marrow Ore from his storage bag and put it into his equipment slot.

The dark ore disappeared in his palm.

The demonic energy pathways within his body gained an additional layer of enhancement. Li Yuan activated the Dark Abyss Demonic Essence Technique, drawing out a wisp of demonic energy to probe into his spinal marrow.

The demonic energy seeped into the bone marrow at a speed nearly 20% faster.

The second stage of the ancient demonic body-refining secret technique: condensing bone marrow.

The demonic energy no longer merely expels impurities, but repeatedly compresses the cleansed bone marrow. Each round of compression increases the bone marrow density, thereby boosting spiritual energy production.

The demonic energy surged through all the long bones of the body simultaneously, from the finger bones to the femurs, each segment of bone marrow being repeatedly crushed by the demonic energy. The murky gray liquid had long since been drained away, and what was now being expelled was an extremely pale dark golden liquid, the low-quality spiritual energy extracted during the condensation of the bone marrow.

During a break from cultivation, Li Yuan took out the Spirit Essence Bone Tempering Pill from his storage bag.

The Spiritual Essence Bone Tempering Pill disappeared in his palm.

[Bone Tempering and Essence Nourishing - Blue has taken effect]

[Effect: Increases the efficiency of body-refining techniques by 50%; increases the cultivation limit of body-refining techniques by 50%.]

Two blue body-refining entries were operating simultaneously. Dark Marrow Bone Tempering enhanced demonic energy body refining, while Bone Tempering and Yuan Nourishing enhanced the overall body refining efficiency. The progress of both the Ancient Demonic Path Secret Technique and the Spiritual Light Body Tempering Technique was significantly accelerated.

Li Yuan took out the Spirit Essence Bone Tempering Pill and swallowed it.

The "Nurturing Infant Spirit" permanent inscription is activated, doubling the drug's effect. The drug's power surges into the light vein network, urging light-attribute spiritual energy to penetrate the bone marrow cavity wall.

The demonic energy of the ancient demonic arts condenses and compresses from the inside of the bone marrow outwards, while the light-attribute spiritual energy of the Spiritual Light Tempering Technique repairs and strengthens from the outside of the cavity wall inwards. The two forces converge at the bone marrow cavity wall, repairing and compressing in round after round, making the cavity wall increasingly dense.

One day, when Li Yuan finished his practice, he internally examined his bones.

At the junction of the bone marrow cavity walls, an extremely thin, special structure has already taken shape.

That structure was neither a pure light vein nor a pure demonic energy tempering layer, but a hybrid layer formed by the repeated interaction of the two. The repair fibers of light-attribute spiritual energy and the channels of demonic energy corrosion intertwined to form a grid.

Light and Magic Intertwined Layer.

The light veins no longer merely cover the surface of the bones and the spaces between the trabeculae, but rather integrate into the bones themselves through an interwoven layer. Light vein fibers run through every trabeculae, and light-attribute spiritual energy becomes part of the skeletal structure.

The accumulation of spiritual light tempering techniques has crossed the threshold.

Spiritual Light Body Tempering Technique, Minor Success.

The changes after achieving a minor success were immediately apparent. The self-healing speed of the light veins shortened from two breaths in the mastery stage to one and a half breaths, and the bones themselves became a defensive layer.

Li Yuan used his spiritual power to draw a line on his left forearm.

Light-elemental spiritual energy instantly gathered at the wound site, and the skin and flesh were restored to their original state within a breath and a half. If the bones were damaged, the light veins within the bones would also repair themselves, only half a breath slower than the skin and flesh.

For nearly a month afterward, Li Yuan took one Spirit Essence Bone Tempering Pill every day.

After the medicinal effects were doubled and infused into the light veins, and further enhanced by the blue "Bone Tempering and Essence Nourishing" inscription, the fusion between the light veins and the bones continued to deepen.

The fusion extends from the long bones to every bone in the body. Skull, ribs, phalanges, toes—no one is left out. The interwoven layers also spread from the walls of the long bone cavities to the periosteum throughout the body.

The moment the light veins of his entire skeleton were fully integrated, the Spiritual Light Tempering Technique broke through once again.

Spiritual Light Tempering Technique, perfected.

Upon reaching the Great Completion stage, the light veins completely merge with the physical body. Self-healing is reduced to less than one and a half breaths, and bone strength is significantly higher than during the Lesser Completion stage. The transmission loss of spiritual energy within the bones is almost zero, and the entire skeleton becomes a natural spiritual energy transmission network.

At the same moment, the conditions for making the Spirit Essence Bone Tempering Pill permanent have also been met.

The condition for making the blue "Bone Tempering and Essence Nourishing" entry permanent is: mastering the fourth-order body tempering technique.

The Spiritual Light Tempering Technique, a low-grade fourth-order body-refining technique, has reached its peak.

The conditions are met.

The Spiritual Essence Bone Tempering Pill disappeared from the equipment slot, and a stream of blue light surged out, flowing into the bones throughout the body.

The scene unfolded in the sea of ​​consciousness. A cultivator sat cross-legged at the confluence of spiritual veins, his bones gleaming with a warm luster. Spiritual energy surged from his bone marrow, spreading along the trabeculae of his bones throughout his body, tempering his muscles, meridians, and skin.

The image fades away.

[Permanentization complete]

【Refined Bones and Nourished Essence - Blue】

The tempering efficiency and cultivation limit are each increased by 50% as a permanent bonus. From then on, you will benefit from this bonus no matter which body-refining technique you cultivate.

Li Yuan withdrew his inner vision, sat cross-legged on the stone platform, and began to circulate his internal energy.

In the past month, Li Yuan's cultivation has also made further progress, and he is not far from the completion of the Nascent Soul stage.
