Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Chapter 751 The Core of the Heart and Body

Demon Dragon Domain, Stone City, Quiet Room.

Several days after the Talisman of Creation became permanent, Li Yuan did not rush to go out.

The stone door to the quiet room closed, and the spiritual energy of the three attributes circulated continuously. The Condensing Essence and Transforming Emptiness Technique activated the core spiritual energy pulse of the Divine Transformation stage, while the Netherworld Condensing Demon Technique refined the demonic energy and aligned it with the residual demonic energy from the outside world. The spiritual energy infusion into the Xuan Iron Condensing Essence Body continuously cleansed the bones.

The three fifth-tier cultivation techniques were operating in parallel, and the distribution of spiritual energy output from the core of the Nascent Soul stage became increasingly smooth. Spiritual energy flowed through the main meridians, demonic energy through the demonic energy pathways, and body-refining spiritual energy through the skeletal grid. The three paths did not interfere with each other, and the permanent "Azure Flow Nourishing Meridians" inscription at the nodes drew and merged the three together.

The physical body's operating rules in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm were thoroughly understood through daily cultivation.

The total amount of spiritual energy, the upper limit of output, the depth of resonance with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the control precision of the core leaving the body—each of these aspects is much more stable than at the beginning of the breakthrough.

Li Yuan opened his eyes.

This equipment is now complete.

He took out the dark red crystal from his storage bag.

The kernel, about the size of a walnut, lies in the palm of your hand, its surface finely textured and pulsating, like a miniature heart.

Li Yuan bit his index finger, and his blood dripped onto the surface of his heart core.

The dark golden essence blood was absorbed by the patterns, and the pulse of the heart core suddenly accelerated. Li Yuan then poured his Nascent Soul spiritual power into it. The spiritual power surged from his palm into the heart core, spreading along the patterns and merging with the essence blood.

The heart core began to heat up.

A dark red light emanated from within the crystal, and the temperature rose higher and higher. Li Yuan pressed the core against his chest, continuously infusing it with spiritual power and essence.

The core slowly melted into my chest.

There was no pain, only a burning sensation seeping into the body from the sternum. The core of the heart pierced through the skin and flesh, through the bones, and hovered beside the core of the divine transformation.

It did not merge with the core of the Nascent Soul, but instead hung beside the core like a seed, connected to the core by extremely fine spiritual energy threads.

Second Body - Red Affix Activated.

After his heart core stabilized, Li Yuan began to look inward.

The core of the Nascent Soul realm hovered above the sea of ​​consciousness, its dark gold color tinged with purple, and its spiritual energy pulsed normally. Three inches to the right of the core, the heart core had transformed into a dark red seed, its surface patterns still pulsating slowly.

A faint pulse of life emanates from the seed.

The second physical body began to develop. The process was extremely slow; for now, it only possessed a faint aura and was far from complete.

A wisp of spiritual energy separated from the core of the Nascent Soul and flowed to the seed core to supply it with the necessary nutrients for development. A very small amount of blood and qi also flowed from the blood vessels to the seed.

The consumption is not large, but it does exist.

Li Yuan withdrew his internal vision.

After the core was equipped, a portion of the spiritual power and blood energy was diverted to the cultivation of the second physical body. As a result, the spiritual power cultivation efficiency of the Condensing Yuan and Transforming Void Technique decreased slightly, but the demonic energy cultivation of the Nether Abyss Condensing Demon Technique became smoother.

The reason is simple. After the spiritual energy is diverted, the focus of cultivation inevitably shifts towards the demonic energy side. The demonic energy condensation of the Netherworld Demonic Condensation Technique is already close to the threshold of resonance with the external demonic energy. With the focus shifting, the density of demonic energy circulation in the body suddenly increases.

Li Yuan then activated the Netherworld Condensation Demon Technique.

The demonic energy surged from the meridians, completing a full cycle along the pathways. The condensation speed was significantly faster than before, and the resonance with the external demonic energy shifted from a shallow level to a deeper level of synchronization.

With each cycle of cultivation, the refinement of demonic energy increases. By the time the cultivation concludes on the third day, the refinement of demonic energy in the pathways has surpassed the upper limit of the proficient stage.

He is proficient in the Netherworld Condensation Demon Technique.

The changes after mastering this skill are very direct. The condensation of demonic energy no longer requires deliberate activation of resonance; external demonic energy flows into the body on its own to participate.

The cycle continues. The quality of demonic energy has also improved, with the demonic aspect of the primordial power becoming purer and more concentrated.

Li Yuan accepted the Netherworld Demon Condensation Technique and turned to body refinement.

There were still a few pieces of Dragon Essence Crystal ore left in the storage bag, which were found in the storage bag of the Nascent Soul Dragon Clan. The quality was not as good as Dragon Marrow Liquid, but it was enough to assist in the True Dragon Nine Forging Technique.

Li Yuan took out a piece of Dragon Essence Crystal and held it in his palm.

Dragon essence seeped from the crystal ore, flowing along the meridians into the bones. The blue "Dragon Marrow Body Nourishing" attribute doubled the efficiency of the Dragon Clan's body-refining techniques, and the speed at which the dragon essence cleansed the bones was significantly faster than before the attribute appeared.

The Dragon Essence seeped into the gaps between the trabeculae along the surface of the bones, spreading along the interwoven mesh of light and magic. Each trabeculae was repeatedly crushed by the Dragon Essence, and its density gradually increased.

Several days later, the first round of tempering of the trabeculae throughout the body was completed. The conduction pathway of the Dragon Essence in the trabeculae was completely opened, and the Dragon Essence could be injected from any point and spread throughout the body along the trabeculae.

He was proficient in the True Dragon Nine Forging Techniques.

At the same moment, the equipment slot vibrated.

Dragon marrow mineral crystals.

The blue entry "Dragon Marrow Body" requires the following conditions to be permanently obtained: mastery of a fifth-tier dragon race cultivation technique.

The conditions are met.

The dragon marrow ore crystals vanished from the equipment inventory. A stream of blue light surged forth, flowing into the bones throughout the body.

The scene unfolds in the sea of ​​consciousness.

A cultivator was immersed in a dark golden liquid, with dragon essence surging into his bones from all directions. A thin film of dragon essence condensed on the surface of his bones, and the tempering speed increased dramatically. Each bone in the cultivator's body shimmered with a dark golden luster, and its density and toughness continued to rise.

The image fades away.

[Permanentization complete]

【Dragon Marrow Body Essence - Blue】

[Effect: Permanently doubles the cultivation efficiency of the Dragon Clan's Body Refining Technique; permanently increases the body refining effect by 30%.]

Blue light flowed deep into the bones.

Another empty slot has appeared in the equipment inventory.

Li Yuan continued to circulate the Xuan Tie Condensing Yuan Body.

The efficiency of spiritual energy infusing the bones and meridians has soared under the combined boost of the Dragon Marrow Body Tempering Permanentization (50%) and the Bone Tempering Essence Tempering Permanentization (50%). The spiritual energy grid of the Proficient Stage of the Profound Iron Condensing Essence Body has already covered the surface of the entire skeleton and the trabeculae, and now the spiritual energy is beginning to penetrate towards the bone marrow cavity.

The walls of the bone marrow cavity already possessed a layer of interwoven light and demonic energy, perfected through the ancient demonic body-refining techniques. When the spiritual power of the Xuan Tie Condensed Yuan Body was infused into it, it resonated with this interwoven layer. The two structures interlocked, causing a sudden surge in the strength of the bone marrow cavity walls.

The spiritual energy infusion pathway extends from the surface of the bones to the wall of the bone marrow cavity, forming a complete closed loop of spiritual energy-bearing structure throughout the entire skeleton.

Proficient in Xuan Tie Condensed Yuan Body.

The changes after mastering the technique are obvious. The overall strength of the physical body has increased to another level, and the hardness and toughness of the bones are close to the level of a fourth-grade high-quality magic weapon.

Li Yuan did not stop.

The spiritual energy infusion after mastering the Xuan Tie Condensing Body and its integration with the Light Demon Interweaving Layer, in turn, promoted the light vein network of the Spirit Light Tempering Body Technique.

The light channels originate from the periosteum, covering the surface of all bones, and extending to the trabeculae and the walls of the medullary cavity. In the advanced stage, the light channels have become one with the physical body, but the coverage of the medullary cavity walls is always lacking the final layer.

Now, the spiritual energy infusion into the Xuan Tie Condensed Yuan Body has completely opened up the wall of the bone marrow cavity, and the last segment of the light vein network has been successfully connected.

Light-attribute spiritual energy flows from the periosteum into the trabeculae, passes through the walls of the medullary cavity, and forms a self-circulating system within the cavity. The network of light channels throughout the entire skeleton is interconnected, leaving no blind spots.

Spiritual Light Tempering Technique, perfected.

Once perfected, the light vein network is no longer just a repair tool. It becomes an independent spiritual energy circulation system, with light-attribute spiritual energy flowing automatically within the bones, continuously strengthening the physical body. The body's self-healing speed is reduced from one and a half breaths to less than one breath, and resistance to physical damage is also stronger.

With breakthroughs in both body-refining techniques, Li Yuan internally examined his entire skeletal system.

The bone surface is infused with a layer of spiritual energy from the Xuan Tie Condensed Yuan Body; the trabeculae contain a two-way array structure of interwoven light and magic; and the bone marrow cavity walls are covered by a triple layer of overlapping structures. These three systems interlock to form an extremely solid whole.

Li Yuan withdrew his inner vision and opened the entrance to his personal miniature world.

The spiritual energy concentration within the small realm is consistently more than four times that of the outside world. Three medium-sized spiritual veins form the core, while three small spiritual veins act as tributaries. The spatial spirit-gathering array is functioning normally.

Li Yuan focused his mind on the seed in his heart.

The second physical form is still developing slowly, currently only a clump of dark red flesh the size of a walnut, with extremely weak life pulsation.

He drew the core seed from his body. The seed floated in his palm, its spiritual energy threads still connected to the core of his Nascent Soul. Li Yuan sent the seed into the small world, placing it in the soil near the Enlightenment Tree.

The threads of spiritual energy passed through the walls of the small realm, remaining connected.

The moment the seed fell into the soil, the Enlightenment Tree reacted.

The cracks in the seed within the flower at the top of the tree crown suddenly widened, with several new cracks extending from the top to the bottom, and golden-green light bursting forth from all the fissures. The entire seed seemed about to split open, its light several times brighter than before.

The rice-grain-sized buds at the tips of the second buds have several cracks in the golden-green spiritual membrane covering them. A more intense golden-green light shines through the cracks.

The process of retrospection records all changes completely into the sea of ​​consciousness.

Li Yuan watched for a moment but did not intervene.

The Enlightenment Tree grows according to its own natural rhythm. Each change in the past has been triggered by specific conditions and proceeded on its own; forcibly catalyzing it may disrupt this rhythm.

The widening of seed cracks and the appearance of fissures in the bud's spiritual membrane are signs that it is about to enter the next stage. Let it develop on its own.

Li Yuan withdrew his divine sense and closed the entrance to the small world.

Inside the stone chamber, the Condensing Essence and Transforming into Emptiness Technique continued to operate. The core spiritual energy of the Nascent Soul stage pulsed steadily, its resonance with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth deepening continuously.
