Cultivation: I Can Solidify Equipment Attributes

Chapter 314: Chapter 303: Divine Split Consummation

Late that night, during the latter half of his cultivation session, the panel popped up.

[Condition for making Divine Split Multitasking (Blue) permanent has been met]

[Simultaneously maintain three or more independent Divine Sense Lines for two hundred consecutive hours (Complete)]

[Make permanent?]

Li Yuan opened his eyes.

Ever since equipping the ancient Divine Sense Secret Technique, he had kept the three Divine Sense Lines active almost without interruption. He maintained them during the day while performing Alchemy, setting up arrays, and handling market affairs. At night, he kept them running while cultivating and monitoring the Spirit Vein. Even while he slept, the Spirit Vein Monitoring Line and his daily perception line continued to operate in the background.

The two hundred hours were up.

Li Yuan confirmed.

[Divine Split Multitasking (Blue) has become a permanent trait]

After making it permanent, Li Yuan rose and sat at his desk. He began flipping through market documents while simultaneously perceiving feedback from the Spirit Vein. The two tasks ran on completely different channels of information, never interfering with one another.

As he turned to the third page of the transaction records, a piece of information came from the Spirit Vein Monitoring Line. The concentration of Evil Qi in the direction of the ore vein had risen slightly—a normal fluctuation from the daily operation of the Cultivating Evil Array.

Li Yuan’s gaze never left the documents, but he had already processed the information in his mind. ’Normal fluctuation. No action required.’

Previously, doing this would have required him to either stop his work to check on the Spirit Vein, or forcibly divert a sliver of his mind to take a look before pulling it back. Now, with parallel processing, he didn’t need to switch focus at all. Information flowed automatically through its designated channel, with the final result delivered straight to his main consciousness.

The next morning, Li Yuan went to the market.

The large number of Yunzhou cultivators who had flooded in after the fall of the Qi Shui Sect’s stronghold had now settled in the market. The congestion on the main street had eased slightly compared to the past few days, but the foot traffic was still far greater than before.

Li Yuan noticed many new faces in the Loose Cultivator trading area on the east side of the market.

Among them were several cultivators wearing the standard robes of the Qi Shui Sect, who had set up a stall in a corner of the trading area. Instead of pills and materials, their stall was lined with rows of jade slips.

Technique manuals.

Li Yuan walked over to take a look.

There were quite a few jade slips, more than twenty of them, covering a wide variety of types. Cultivation Methods, combat Magic, support Magic, Alchemy recipes, talisman-crafting techniques—they had everything. Most were Tier One, but a few were labeled as Tier Two.

The stall owner was a young, Early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator with a weary face. Seeing Li Yuan approach, he perked up and called out a greeting.

"Fellow Daoist, take a look. These are internal manuals from the Qi Shui Sect, quality guaranteed."

Li Yuan crouched down and scanned the labels of the jade slips one by one.

His gaze stopped on a jade slip labeled "Strengthening Vein Pill."

Strengthening Vein Pill.

Li Yuan knew the name. It was a Tier Two pill whose main effect was to strengthen the toughness and tolerance of the meridian walls. After consuming it, the meridian walls would be reinforced layer by layer by the pill’s medicinal power, allowing them to withstand higher-intensity impacts of Spiritual Power without being damaged.

For a Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, this pill was very useful. When breaking through to the Golden Core realm, the impact of Spiritual Power on the meridians was extremely violent. The toughness of the meridian walls directly determined whether the meridians would be ruptured during the breakthrough process. Taking a Strengthening Vein Pill beforehand to reinforce the meridians was like adding another layer of insurance for the breakthrough.

"How many Spirit Stones for this one?" Li Yuan asked, pointing to the Strengthening Vein Pill’s jade slip.

The stall owner quoted a price.

It was thirty percent lower than the market price for similar pill recipes. The disciples of the Qi Shui Sect had fled for their lives, and the manuals they had were the easiest things to liquidate, so naturally, the prices were kept low.

Li Yuan paid the Spirit Stones and put away the jade slip.

After returning to his stone house, Li Yuan first read through the recipe for the Strengthening Vein Pill.

There were two main ingredients: one was a Spirit Medicine called Vein-lock Grass, and the other was a meridian-related mineral powder. Three supplementary ingredients were needed. Li Yuan had two of them on hand, but he needed to buy the third from a shop in the market.

The recipe’s approach was somewhat similar to the Vessel Continuation Pill, as both focused on affecting the meridians. However, the Vessel Continuation Pill was for repairing, while the Strengthening Vein Pill was for reinforcing. The medicinal properties of the two were perfectly complementary.

Li Yuan went to the market to buy the missing supplementary ingredient, then returned and fired up his cauldron.

Multiple Divine Sense Lines operated simultaneously.

His main line of consciousness controlled the Pill Fire. The first branch line monitored the internal temperature of the Pill Liquid and the flow of its medicinal properties. The second was linked to the Spirit Vein, and the third maintained his ambient awareness.

The Pill Liquid slowly solidified in the cauldron. The contracting force didn’t crush it into a dead lump but was instead evenly distributed throughout the entire mass of Pill Liquid, pressing the medicinal power layer by layer into the core of the pill.

A muffled thud sounded from the cauldron. The pill was formed.

Three grayish-white pills landed on the jade plate. Their surfaces were smooth and dense. Held between his fingers, he could feel the compressed force still contained within them, giving them a solid, heavy weight.

The Strengthening Vein Pill was a success.

The panel popped up.

[Equippable item detected: Strengthening Vein Pill (Complete)]

[Trait Preview: Meridians of Steel (White)]

[Effect: Greatly enhances the toughness of your meridian walls, allowing them to withstand higher-intensity Spiritual Power impacts without damage.]

[Permanence Condition Preview: Withstand an overload of Spiritual Power without meridian damage, thirty times total.]

The condition for making it permanent was for his meridians to withstand an overload of Spiritual Power without being damaged, a cumulative total of thirty times.

An overload of Spiritual Power meant pushing the intensity of his Spiritual Power circulation beyond his meridians’ limits. This wasn’t something one would do intentionally during daily cultivation, but it could happen when casting spells at full strength or during the Spiritual Power surge of a realm breakthrough. ’No need to intentionally make it permanent right now; the trait’s effect isn’t that useful on its own.’

Li Yuan returned his Spiritual Power circulation to a normal level and then continued with his Alchemy.

He still had some materials for the Strengthening Vein Pill left, just enough for one more batch.

The second batch was also a success, yielding two pills.

Next, he refined a batch of Vessel Continuation Pills and a batch of Gathering Essence Pills.

He refined four batches of pills consecutively without a break. After Divine Split Multitasking became permanent, the consumption of his Divine Soul during Alchemy was greatly reduced, mainly because his Divine Soul’s utilization rate was much higher.

After finishing the four batches, Li Yuan sorted the pills and stored them away. Just as he was about to get up, the panel popped up again.

[Skill: Tier Two Alchemy — Minor Achievement (0/1600)]

Li Yuan stared at the two words on the panel and sat back down on his meditation cushion.

From Proficient to Minor Achievement.

This leap was even more significant than the one from Skilled to Proficient.

At the Proficient level, many judgments during the Alchemy process had already started to become instinctual, not requiring conscious thought. After reaching Minor Achievement, this level of instinct deepened even further.

The flow of medicinal properties, the shifts in Pill Fire control, the rhythm of blending the main and supplementary ingredients—these were no longer individual steps to be handled in sequence. Instead, they materialized in his perception as an integrated whole the moment he began the refinement. It was like seeing a complete picture; he had a clear mental forecast of the entire process, from lighting the cauldron to the pill’s completion.

Li Yuan closed his eyes and savored the feeling for a moment, committing the state of Minor Achievement to memory.

Reaching Minor Achievement in Tier Two Alchemy meant that he would be much more at ease when refining more difficult Tier Two pills in the future. The success rate and quality would both be further improved, and his Alchemy speed would also increase.
