Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Chapter 743 The Anchor Array is Initially Complete

Deep mine shafts, ancient stone chambers.

The great demon dragon circled the array platform three times, patted the platform surface, looked at the spiritual patterns on the wall, and finally sighed.

"Empty."

He kicked the base of the array platform and turned to look at Li Yuan.

"There's nothing inside. The spirit runes are well preserved, but unfortunately I can't understand them."

Li Yuan's palm remained pressed against the wall.

The Myriad Manifestations Retrospection scanned the outer layer of spiritual patterns, nodes, spiritual energy pathways, and environmental absorption openings on the wall, recording them one by one into the sea of ​​consciousness. After entering the fifth-order array path, these patterns became much clearer.

After the scan was complete, Li Yuan withdrew his hand.

"Let's go."

The great demon dragon shrugged and turned to walk back.

The two returned to the deep cavern along the passage, then traversed the widened mine tunnels back to the surface mine. Along the way, they encountered a dragon...

The great demon grumbled about the wasted trip, but Li Yuan didn't respond.

There were no tangible treasures in the stone chamber. The array platform couldn't be moved, and the spiritual patterns on the walls were etched into the rock. But those spiritual patterns had already entered his sea of ​​consciousness.

Upon exiting the mine, the great demon dragon settled the payment. The cost of setting up the array, along with the individual fees for breaking the restrictions, spirit stones, and several pieces of spatial ore were handed over to Li Yuan.

"I'll contact you again if there's any more work to be done."

Li Yuan nodded and transformed into a dark golden light, leaving the mine.

Instead of returning to Shicheng Market, Dunguang landed in a valley fifty miles north of the mine.

The valley is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there is a vein in the earth at the bottom of the valley, from which spiritual energy seeps out.

Li Yuan selected a flat rock surface at the bottom of the valley and began to set up the spatial anchor point array.

The spatial anchor array loop in the mine's stone chamber has been memorized. The array structure, the core coordinate marking array, the outer teleportation loop, and the auxiliary spirit runes are all familiar to me.

Spiritual energy surged from his palm, outlining a closed loop on the rock surface. The core coordinate marker loop took shape first, with twelve nodes arranged sequentially. The outer teleportation loop was nested inside, and auxiliary spiritual runes spread out.

At three key points, Li Yuan left openings for environmental absorption based on the spiritual patterns on the wall.

The array's core stone is embedded in the center.

The formation is closed.

All twelve nodes lit up with a silvery-white light simultaneously, and their spatial coordinates were locked by the array. The three absorption openings began to draw in spiritual energy, and the closed loop operated on its own.

Within a three-foot perception range, blue text fluctuations emanated from the array's core.

Li Yuan placed his palm on the array eye spirit stone.

[Equipable item detected: Anchor Array Eye Stone]

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Anchored Teleport - Blue]

[Effect: Permanently doubles the effective range of spatial teleportation spells; permanently increases the accuracy and stability of spatial coordinate marking by 30%.]

[Preview of Permanentization Conditions: Successfully deployed three spatial anchor points (1/3)]

Li Yuan removed the array's core spirit stone and replaced it with a spirit stone of the same origin.

The formation fluctuated for a moment, then stabilized again.

The anchor point eye stone is sent to the equipment slot.

The spirit stone vanished from his palm. A teleportation-type enhancement was added to the spatial attribute spiritual energy pathway within his body.

Anchoring transmission is now effective; permanentization progress is 1/3.

Li Yuan glanced at the spatial anchor array beneath his feet, then his escape light rose, and he returned to Shicheng Market.

The stone door to the rented room was closed.

Li Yuan sat cross-legged, his three elemental spiritual energies circulating continuously. He activated the Condensing Essence and Transforming Emptiness Technique, causing the spiritual energy of his Divine Transformation Core to pulsate, while simultaneously circulating the Ancient Demonic Path Body Refining Secret Technique.

After mastering the ancient demonic body-refining secret technique, the repair fibers of light-attribute spiritual power and the channels for condensing demonic energy have fused into a light-demonic interwoven mesh throughout the entire body's bones.

Now, going further back, the spiritual energy and demonic energy within the grid begin to flow bidirectionally along the same path.

Demonic energy surged from the bone marrow, spreading along the trabeculae. Light-attribute spiritual energy followed behind, repairing the path. As the light-attribute spiritual energy seeped into the periosteum, the demonic energy cleared a path ahead, stripping away trace impurities from the bone.

The two forces operate in sync, and the gaps between the trabeculae gradually transform into a symmetrical, array-like structure.

One day, after finishing his practice, Li Yuan internally examined his entire skeletal structure.

From the skull to the toe bones, the internal structure of spiritual and demonic energy conduction within each bone has formed a two-way array. Spiritual energy injected from any point can spread throughout the body along the bones. The same applies to demonic energy.

The ancient demonic body-refining secret technique has been perfected.

Li Yuan raised his hand and pressed it onto the stone ground. He released his spiritual energy from his palm, and his entire arm bones simultaneously emitted a faint glow as demonic energy flowed into his finger joints.

The Jade Stream Pot vibrated in the equipment slot.

Since breaking through to the Divine Transformation stage, the Nascent Soul Returning to Origin Technique, the Dark Abyss Demonic Origin Technique, and the Void Condensation Guiding Meridian Technique have been operating simultaneously, and the circulation of the three-attribute spiritual energy has never been interrupted.

The condition for making the blue "Azure Flow Nourishes the Veins" attribute permanent is: continuously and simultaneously running the three-attribute spiritual energy cycle for thirty days.

Thirty days have passed.

The Jade Stream Pot disappeared from the equipment inventory.

The scene unfolds in the sea of ​​consciousness.

A cultivator sat cross-legged at the confluence of spiritual energy, three streams of spiritual power of different attributes flowing simultaneously within his body. The spiritual power traveled through the main meridians, the demonic energy through the demonic energy pathways, and the third stream of spiritual power through the auxiliary meridians. The three pathways pulled each other at their nodes, repeatedly eroding the walls of the meridians, making them increasingly resilient.

The image fades away.

[Permanentization complete]

【Azure Streams Nourish the Veins, Blue Skies】

[Effect: Permanently increases meridian resilience by 50%; when circulating two or more elemental spiritual energies simultaneously, they promote and fuse with each other, with a permanent effect.]

The blue light flowed into the depths of the meridians.

Li Yuan circulated his three elemental spiritual energies through a complete cycle. The pressure at the intersection point lessened considerably.

There is one empty slot in the equipment inventory.

A few days later, Li Yuan got up.

The mine mission replenished a batch of spirit stones, but it consumed a significant amount of fourth-tier talismans, spatial array materials, and sealing array materials, so we still need to...

repair.

He had already made many trips along the trading route between Cangxuan Realm and Mingyuan Immortal City.

Li Yuan left the stone chamber, transformed into a dark golden light, flew out of the stone city, restored his human appearance at the border of the Demon Dragon Domain, entered the Tianheng Domain, and headed straight for the ascension passage.

The lower realm, the Azure Profound Realm.

For Nascent Soul cultivators, traversing the ascension passage to the lower realm is far more difficult than for those in the Nascent Soul stage.

The channel was suppressed more severely, resulting in insufficient supply of spiritual energy. The circulation of spiritual energy within the body was reduced, and the resonance between the Nascent Soul core and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was largely severed.

Elder Xuan Ying could only exert 60% of his strength after descending to the mortal realm, and that was because of this.

Li Yuan is slightly better.

After the Azure Flow Nourishes the Meridians becomes permanent, the three elemental spiritual energies mutually reinforce each other. After the Void Condensation Meridian Guiding Technique is perfected, the auxiliary meridians can also draw spiritual energy from the spatial walls. Even with the blessing of multiple attributes, the spiritual energy circulation is still suppressed to about 70%.

The travel speed was slower than when I was in the Nascent Soul stage.

Shopping sprees continue as usual at the Cangxuan Realm Market. Spiritual materials and ores from the lower realm are cheap, while items scarce in the upper realm are readily available here.

Everywhere.

Li Yuan sold a batch of spiritual herbs and ores he had accumulated in his personal microcosm, exchanged them for spirit stones, and then made large-scale purchases.

After visiting both Cuiwei Market and Xuanshi Market, my storage bag was filled with specialties from the Cangxuan Realm.

After returning to the Upper Realm, he went straight to Mingyuan Immortal City.

The price of the Cangxuan Realm ore sold in Mingyuan Immortal City increased several times over. The fourth-tier talisman paper was replenished in the Dancai Street in the south of the city, and most of the space array materials and sealing array materials were collected in the eastern district of the market. The miscellaneous items were transferred to two more shops.

The round trip took quite a while, but the spirit stone reserves were replenished.

After completing his purchases, Li Yuan stood at the entrance of the Mingyuan Immortal City market street and took out the map of the Upper Realm.

Tianheng Domain borders Lingfu Domain to the south and Yaolong Domain to the west. The mining mission in Yaolong Domain has been completed, and the Tianlong Palace Trade Fair is still some time away.

The Spirit Talisman Domain is renowned for its talismanic arts, and its combination of array formations and talismans is said to be among the most advanced in all domains.

Li Yuan put away the map.

Let's go check out the Spirit Talisman Domain first, and come back just in time for the Heavenly Dragon Palace Trade Fair.

The light rose and flew towards the Spirit Talisman Domain.
