Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

After cleaning up the battlefield, Li Yuan first walked to the body of the tall, thin cultivator.

The body lay face down on the gravel ground, its back charred black, and it was already lifeless.

The narrow-bladed longsword hanging at his waist slipped to the side, and half of the leather strap on the scabbard was burned off.

Li Yuan squatted down and ran his fingers over the corpse's waist.

The storage bag was hanging slightly behind the left waist, pressed under the body. Li Yuan turned the corpse over halfway and took the storage bag off.

Li Yuan did not open it on the spot. He put the storage bag away and gathered the long knife and the remaining odds and ends on the corpse together.

Back under the wooden shed, he left the cultivator surnamed Lü to watch over the prisoners while he spread all the spoils of war on a coarse cloth.

First, they emptied out the items they had taken from the prisoners—a dozen or so spirit stones, several bottles of pills, parts of magical artifacts, ores, herbs, and miscellaneous items.

Then he opened the tall, thin monk's storage bag.

The bag was loosened, and it contained more stuff than the rest of the people in the bag combined.

Thirty-one spirit stones, neatly stacked. Two bottles of pills, the porcelain bottles being of a much better quality than the ones the prisoners had, the mouths sealed with wax with exquisite care.

A tightly rolled-up animal hide, tied with thin rope. A spare short blade, in good condition. Several pieces of decent quality ore and some loose cultivation materials.

As the leader of the sixth level of Qi Refining, his wealth was indeed much greater than that of his subordinates.

Li Yuan spread everything out on the coarse cloth, squatted down, and placed his fingers on it one by one from left to right.

The spirit stone reacted, but it's already equipped.

I touched each ore one by one, but there was no reaction.

Herbs, no effect.

The magical artifact parts and the spare short blade did not react at all.

The object is cluttered and there is no response.

The pills on the prisoners. First bottle, no effect. Second bottle, no effect. Third bottle, no effect.

The pills of the tall, thin monk.

The moment my fingertip touched the first bottle, the control panel popped up.

White entries.

Li Yuan set the bottle aside and touched the second one. No reaction.

After examining all the pills, only one bottle showed a reaction.

Li Yuan uncorked the bottle and took a look. Inside were seven dark red pills, not very big. When he got close, he could smell a faint bloody smell mixed with the smell of medicine.

Replace the cork and set it aside.

The remaining animal hide.

Li Yuan reached out and touched it.

white.

One battle, two white-label items. Both appeared in the tall, thin cultivator's storage bag.

Li Yuan placed the animal hide next to the Qi and Blood Pill, untied the thin rope binding it, and unfolded it to examine it.

The hide wasn't of fine quality, and the edges and burrs weren't properly trimmed, but the handwriting was neat.

Iron Wall Body Refinement Technique.

The front shows the general outline of the exercise and the operational route diagram, while the back shows the detailed cultivation steps.

Li Yuan scanned it from beginning to end.

The method is not complicated—spiritual energy and blood are poured into muscles, fascia, and bones along specific routes, repeatedly rinsing and tempering them to gradually strengthen the whole body.

This is a Taoist body-refining technique.

Unlike Yangyuan Gong, which focuses on the internal circulation of Qi and blood and emphasizes the self-generation and precise control of Qi and blood, Tiebi Lianti Gong focuses on the infusion of external force and emphasizes hardness and resistance.

But problems arose in the third step.

The manual's annotations clearly state: "This step requires the use of Bone Tempering Liquid; otherwise, progress will be extremely slow, and it will be difficult to make any progress at all."

Li Yuan glanced at the words and rolled up the animal hide.

Manager Liu was squatting at the other end of the shed, wiping his chipped short sword. Li Yuan walked over and handed him the animal hide.

"You know this technique?"

Book lovers are all in the discussion area, chatting about the charm of Xianxia novels.

Manager Liu took it, glanced at the words on the cover, and nodded.

"Iron Wall Body Refining Technique, used by the Li family's outer defenses."

He returned the animal hide. "Not surprising, this technique is quite widely circulated among cultivators on the outskirts of the Li family."

"It says on the label that bone-tempering fluid is needed."

"Yes." Steward Liu placed the short sword on his lap. "Only the Li family can make that stuff; the formula is unique to them. Some of the herbs inside are only produced in the Li family's secret medicinal garden and can't be bought outside."

He patted the pebbles off his short sword.

"Therefore, the Li family is not afraid of this technique leaking out at all. Even if you get your hands on it, without the Bone Tempering Liquid, you'll get stuck at the second step. At most, your skin and flesh will harden a little, but there won't be any changes inside your bones."

"Oh, right, they sell bone-tempering liquid at a high price."

Manager Liu glanced at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan took the animal hide back and didn't ask any further questions.

The distribution of the spoils took little effort.

In this battle, Li Yuan single-handedly overwhelmed the opposing leader and eventually chased down and killed him. The others encountered opponents at the third or fourth level of Qi Refining, whose difficulty was on a completely different level.

Those who put in the most effort received the most; no one objected.

The tall, thin cultivator had thirty-one spirit stones in his storage bag, plus about ten more found on the prisoners, totaling forty-three. Li Yuan took twenty-five, and distributed the remaining eighteen to the others.

Li Yuan took the bottle of Qi and Blood Pills directly. He also got the animal hide from the Iron Wall Body Refining Technique.

The other bottles of pills without any descriptions were distributed to the others. Li Yuan picked out a few pieces of miscellaneous items such as magic artifact parts, ores, and herbs, and let everyone share the rest.

After the distribution, everyone went their separate ways.

Li Yuan carried his spoils back to the low house, closed the door, and sat down on the bed.

First, take out the Qi and Blood Pill.

The porcelain bottle rested in his palm, and a thought struck him.

Qi and blood are abundant.

Increases maximum health by 30% - After equipping this item, the ceiling for health is directly raised by 30%.

The amplification effect of Qi and blood on the body increases by 10%—the same amount of Qi and blood brings 10% more strength, speed, and recovery ability than before.

The condition for permanentization is that the total amount of Qi and Blood exceeds the average Qi and Blood of a mid-grade first-tier monster.

First-tier mid-grade demonic beasts are large, muscular, and full of blood and energy, with a total amount of qi and blood far exceeding that of cultivators of the same tier. At my current level, I'm far inferior.

Li Yuan put the Qi and Blood Pill aside and picked up the rolled-up animal skin.

The medicinal properties are refined.

The effect of digestive medicine is increased by 20% - after taking pills or liquid medicine, the body absorbs 20% more effective ingredients.

Side effects reduced by 20% – negative effects such as drug toxicity, drug residue, and spiritual energy impact are reduced.

It makes it easier to remove impurities.

The condition for permanentization is to complete one full body tempering cycle using three different body tempering liquid formulas.

The bone-tempering liquid that accompanies the Iron Wall Body Refining Technique is one type, but only the Li family can prepare it. Other body-refining liquids are available on the market, but there aren't many varieties, and they require completing the full tempering process, not just a single soak.

Three types, and each type must be complete.

Li Yuan rolled up the animal hide and put it into his storage bag along with the Qi and Blood Pill.

Both white-label items have practical effects, but the conditions for making them permanent cannot be met in the short term.

Qi and blood elixir is cultivated through practice, while body-refining techniques are found through searching.

Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed board, closing his eyes and practicing his internal energy.

Spiritual energy surged into the body from within the range of the Spirit Gathering Array. The Hundred Meridians Returning to Origin Technique was activated, and spiritual power circulated through the meridians for a complete cycle before sinking into the dantian.
