Cultivation: I Can Solidify Equipment Attributes

Chapter 324: Chapter 313: War Provisions

On his way back from Yunyang Market, a crowd was gathered in front of the notice board on the main street.

Li Yuan walked closer to take a look.

Two new notices were posted on the notice board, both stamped with the great seal of the Primordial Yang Sect.

The first was a recruitment order. The Primordial Yang Sect was openly recruiting all Foundation Establishment Cultivators in Liangzhou to reinforce the front lines against the Evil Slaying Sect. The compensation was similar to the previous order issued by the Qi Shui Sect, complete with Spirit Stones, medicinal pills, and Magical Artifacts. There was also an additional reward of Sect Contribution Points, calculated based on mission completion.

The second was a procurement list. The Primordial Yang Sect was offering Sect Contribution Points in exchange for wartime materials, and the list was quite detailed.

The list was long, covering almost all common combat consumables.

Li Yuan mentally went over the numbers on the list.

’The profits aren’t bad. More importantly, Contribution Points can be exchanged for a lot of good things.’

Li Yuan did not delay after returning to his stone house, beginning mass production that very day.

All four of his Divine Sense Lines were deployed.

His primary line controlled the Pill Fire for alchemy, the second line simultaneously crafted talismans, the third was tasked with monitoring the Spirit Vein, and the fourth covered his external senses.

Alchemy and talisman crafting were carried out simultaneously.

Now that his multi-purpose Divine Split was permanent, two independent operational lines could each execute completely different, delicate tasks without mutual interference. While his primary line controlled the fire and added ingredients in front of the Pill Furnace, his second line was at the adjacent talisman table, wielding a brush to draw patterns. The two processes moved to their own distinct rhythms, like two people working on separate jobs in the same room.

His Divine Soul Condensation ability reduced Divine Soul consumption by twenty percent, making the four-line parallel operation completely sustainable.

After three consecutive days of high-intensity production, Li Yuan cultivated for another two days before delivering the finished products in batches to the management office for registration and submission.

When Chen Yi saw the quantity of supplies in this batch, he raised an eyebrow slightly.

"This much in just five days?"

"Rushed work." Li Yuan replied with just two words.

Chen Yi didn’t press the issue. After the items were registered, the full amount of Sect Contribution Points was credited to Li Yuan’s account as per the list’s rates.

The amount of Contribution Points accumulated over those three days was quite substantial.

Back in his stone house, Li Yuan opened the Sect’s Contribution Point exchange catalog and began to browse for items to redeem.

There were many items in the catalog, ranging from Cultivation Techniques to materials and Magical Artifacts. Li Yuan examined them one by one.

’I still have a few Contribution Points left from before, so it’s not like I’m in desperate need of anything.’

So Li Yuan redeemed a large batch of materials, primarily Array Materials.

A second item, however, caught most of his attention.

Spirit Vein Affinity Technique.

It was an internal auxiliary Cultivation Technique of the Primordial Yang Sect, designed to deepen a cultivator’s sensory connection with a Spirit Vein and improve Spiritual Qi absorption efficiency.

As soon as he had the jade slip for the Spirit Vein Affinity Technique in hand, the panel appeared.

[Equippable Item Detected: Spirit Vein Affinity Technique (Complete)]

[Trait Preview: Vein-Spirit Convergence (Green)]

[Effect: Increases Spiritual Qi absorption efficiency by 50% during cultivation, increases Spiritual Qi perception accuracy by 20%]

[Permanence Condition Preview: Cultivate on a Spirit Vein for a cumulative 500 hours]

’A green-tier trait. A fifty percent increase in Spiritual Qi absorption efficiency, and a twenty percent increase in perception accuracy.’

’The effect is very straightforward.’

He already spent his years cultivating within a large Spirit Vein, and the effect from his "Spirit Vein Nurturing Spirit" special equipment slot already provided automatic cultivation and Spiritual Power recovery. Now, on top of that, he was stacking the 50% absorption efficiency bonus from "Vein-Spirit Convergence," the 50% cultivation speed bonus from "Gathering Origin into One," the doubled cultivation speed from his Flawless Spiritual Power, and the 50% boost from his Pure Spiritual Power...

Li Yuan didn’t bother calculating further; the numbers had become meaningless. With this many buffs stacked, the increase in his cultivation efficiency was no longer a matter of simple addition, but a multiplicative effect where each trait amplified the others.

Li Yuan sent his Divine Sense directly into the jade slip. The pathways of the Cultivation Technique were roughly what he had expected. When activated, Spiritual Power would seep along specific channels into the surface layer of the Spirit Vein, establishing a resonance channel between the cultivator and the vein. Once this channel was formed, the Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Vein would actively converge on the cultivator, dramatically improving absorption efficiency.

The condition for making it permanent was to cultivate on a Spirit Vein for a cumulative 500 hours.

’I cultivate within range of the Spirit Vein for at least ten hours a day, so five hundred hours should take about fifty days.’

’Not a short time, but not difficult either.’

Li Yuan equipped it.

[Equipped: Spirit Vein Affinity Technique (Complete)]

[Vein-Spirit Convergence (Green) is now active]

The instant the trait activated, the fundamental rhythm of the Spiritual Power circulating within his body changed.

The Spiritual Qi in the Spirit Vein seemed to have gained an exclusive channel. It was no longer merely being passively absorbed by his Dantian; instead, it actively surged toward him along an invisible line of resonance. After every full circulation cycle, the increase in Spiritual Power within his Dantian was a great deal larger than before.

Li Yuan closed his eyes and began circulating his technique.

The improvement in his cultivation efficiency was made abundantly clear after the very first cycle.

The speed at which Spiritual Qi flooded in was almost unreal.

Previously, he had to sense carefully just to perceive the increase in Spiritual Power in his Dantian after a full cycle. Now, the increase was so large he could notice it without even trying.

Li Yuan maintained his four-line parallel cultivation state, circulating his technique while simultaneously using his Spirit Vein Monitoring Line to scan the situation over at the mineral veins.

’The output has indeed increased since connecting the three mines.’

With the new mining point connected, the supply of Fire Spiritual Power was even more plentiful. The confluence zone had expanded, and the formation speed of Fire Evil Stones was nearly thirty percent faster than when only two mines were linked. Meanwhile, the output of Purple Evil Stones had not dropped, and the Cultivating Evil Array was operating as stably as ever.

’Three production lines, all running simultaneously.’

That evening, after finishing his cultivation, Li Yuan made a trip to the management office to handle a few matters concerning the market.

The last document he came to was an internal announcement.

A Core Formation slot.

The announcement was brief: the Primordial Yang Sect would be making one slot available for use of the Core Formation Platform, open to all Foundation Establishment Cultivators who had a cooperative relationship with the Sect. The specific allocation method and conditions had not yet been announced and would be communicated in a later notice.

Li Yuan set the announcement aside.

This news had already been circulating around the market for a few days; today was just the first time it had been formally put on paper.

The reaction in the market was split.

One group of cultivators was extremely excited. A slot to use the Core Formation Platform was something that couldn’t be bought for any amount of Spirit Stones. For those cultivators at the peak of late-stage Foundation Establishment, just one step away from breaking through to the Golden Core realm, this slot was a direct path to the heavens.

Another group, however, harbored doubts. While news of the Core Formation Platform’s previous malfunction hadn’t spread widely, quite a few people were in the know. There were private discussions about how the last cultivator to use it had failed their Core Formation, suffering ruptured meridians and a regression in their cultivation, leading people to wonder if there was something wrong with the platform itself.

But doubts were just doubts; the majority of cultivators still flocked to the opportunity. The chance for Core Formation was simply too rare. A flawed chance was better than no chance at all.

Li Yuan put the announcement away. ’Right now, the most practical course of action is to keep accumulating Contribution Points and maintain a low profile.’

’I don’t have to redeem it, but I must have enough Contribution Points just in case.’

’The Sect’s contribution rankings are probably tied to the slot’s allocation. My own Contribution Point total should already be near the top.’

After leaving the management office, Li Yuan returned to his stone house and resumed his cultivation.

Spiritual Qi continuously surged into his Dantian through the resonance channel established by Vein-Spirit Convergence, his cultivation efficiency absurdly high.

’The clock on those five hundred hours starts now.’
