After returning to the shop, Li Yuan closed the door, temporarily unloaded Blood Coagulation Pill, took out the animal hide and equipped it.
The moment Affix took effect, Li Yuan's perception changed.
Everything around me becomes more layered.
The previous Spirit Sense Amplification and Aura Imprinting allowed him to perceive the existence and characteristics of the breath, but after the addition of Breath Concealment and Keen Perception, the dimension of perception increased.
He can tell which scents are neutral, which ones are wary, and which ones are hostile.
The auras of Rogue Cultivator in the settlement are densely packed, and most of them are neutral. There are two auras in the distance that are slightly alert, but they are not directed at him, more like they are alert to the surrounding environment.
The effect of reducing the sense of presence is also working. Li Yuan tried adjusting the intensity. When it was turned to the maximum, his presence on the perceptual level was reduced a lot. When it was turned to the minimum, it returned to normal.
Li Yuan Adjust the intensity to a medium-low setting. It is enough to maintain this level for daily use.
Permanent conditions, nine types of Demon Beast eyes.
Li Yuan rummaged through the storage bag.
There are a lot of eyeballs in the materials left behind by the previous hunt for Demon Beast.
Monster Hunting Squad's old rule is to take the valuable parts first. Eyeballs are generally not valuable, but Li Yuan habitually kept some.
After rummaging through it, six kinds were found in the storage bag.
There are still three more to go.
Li Yuan went out to the stall area.
Monster Material There is everything on the stall, but the eyeballs are the least valuable part, only one or two yuan per pair Spirit Stone.
Li Yuan spent five Spirit Stone to buy three different Demon Beast eyeballs: Black-Horned Toad's, Stone-Armor Turtle's, and Wind Hedgehog's.
Go back to the shop and close the door.
Nine kinds of Demon Beast eyeballs were placed on the table, and Li Yuan put the first eyeball into his mouth.
[Permanent progress:1/9]
The second one, the third one, the fourth one, the fifth one.
Swallow the last one.
[Permanent progress:9/9]
[Permanent success]
[Breath Concealment and Keen Perception (white) has become Permanent Affix]
[Equipment has been consumed]
Equipment Slot leaves one space empty.
Li Yuan was preparing to continue practicing when there was a knock on the courtyard door.
When I opened the door, I saw it was Wang Lu.
This time Wang Lu's face looked normal, not as panicked as last time, but it was not relaxed either.
"There's something." Wang Lu entered the room and stood up without sitting down and said, "Alchemist He is here Secret Realm Perimeter."
"Alchemist He?"
"Yes, it's Yunyang Marketplace that Foundation Establishment refines Alchemist."
Wang Lu said.
"I don't know what he's doing here. He might be collecting medicine or something else. But since he's here, Wang Family hopes that you will continue to supply him with Spirit-Refining Talisman."
"I won't take Wang Family's account this time."
Wang Lu said.
"Alchemist He will provide the materials himself, and the reward will be given directly to you by Alchemist He. Wang Family will not interfere here. All we need is that you maintain the relationship with Alchemist He."
Li Yuan thought for a while and nodded.
The cooperation with Alchemist He has always been profitable, and the remuneration given by the other party has never been low. Moreover, with Li Yuan's current Talisman Making level, Spirit-Refining Talisman's success rate is higher than before.
"Where does he live?"
"To the west of the settlement, near the Secret Realm entrance, there is a separate courtyard. Take this with you."
Wang Lu took out a small wooden sign from his sleeve and handed it over. There was a simple rune engraved on it, "There are restrictions outside his yard. You can only enter with this."
Li Yuan took the wooden sign and put it into his sleeve.
Wang Lu didn't stay long, explained a few more words and left.
In the afternoon of that day, Li Yuan went to the west side of the settlement.
The courtyard of Alchemist He is not difficult to find. Two hundred steps west of the Secret Realm entrance, there is a single-family courtyard with a gray stone wall that is higher than the wooden shed and stone house next to it.
There are faint spiritual fluctuations on the wall, which is a layer of restriction that is not too strong but is enough to block the Qi Refining Stage monks.
Li Yuan raised the wooden sign in front of the door. The restricted spiritual power fluctuated slightly, and then a gap opened.
The courtyard door is ajar, open it and go in.
The yard is not big, with a stone table and two stone benches in the middle, and a few sealed wooden boxes stacked in the corner. The door of the main room is open, and the aroma of medicine wafts out from inside, rich and complex.
Alchemist He is sitting on a bamboo chair inside the main door, holding a white porcelain teacup in his hand and drinking tea.
He has a face in his sixties, with gray hair but good energy, and a pair of small but bright eyes.
Here, Alchemist He restrains the aura of monk Foundation Establishment Realm to the extreme.
If Li Yuan hadn't known his identity, it would have been almost impossible to detect the difference between him and an ordinary old man based on perception alone.
When Alchemist He saw Li Yuan coming in, he didn't get up. He took out something from his sleeve and threw it towards Li Yuan.
Li Yuan reached out and caught it.
One Medicinal Pill.
It is about the size of the belly of your thumb, the whole body is light cyan, and there is a very fine layer of Spirit Pattern flowing on the surface. It is in excellent condition.
Translucent text emerges.
[Equipable item detected: Jade Breakthrough Pill (complete)]
[Equipment Affix preview: Spiritual Power Advancement (green)--Spiritual power operation speed increased by 20%, spiritual power recovery speed increased by 20%, spiritual power improvement speed increased by 20%]
[Preview of permanent conditions: Try to break through a major realm once, or practice for ten years cumulatively]
[Equip or not?]
Green Trait. The three spiritual power-related improvements are each increased by 20%, and the effect is solid.
The speed of spiritual power operation affects the efficiency of spell casting and Cultivation Method practice. The speed of spiritual power recovery affects the endurance after battle and practice. The speed of spiritual power improvement is directly related to the speed of cultivation growth.
Each of the three items is 20%, which is not amazing when viewed individually, but when stacked together, the effect is very real.
There are two ways to make the conditions permanent. Breaking through Foundation Establishment counts once, and whether it succeeds or not, it counts as an attempt. Or if you practice honestly for ten years, the conditions will be automatically met.
The former depends on when Foundation Establishment is impacted, the latter is too long and the cost is too high in ten years.
Li Yuan put away Medicinal Pill and looked up at Alchemist He.
"The effect is not very good Breakthrough Pill, but I feel that your aura is stable, so I think it will work."
Alchemist He took a sip of tea. "Calculate the advance payment for you. It can help you break through to Qi Refining Late Stage."
"If you are lucky and succeed in breaking through, it will be more convenient if your cultivation reaches Qi Refining Late Stage or Talisman Making."
He put down the teacup and pointed to the wooden box in the corner.
"The materials are in the box, for Talisman Making. This time I want Spirit-Refining Talisman, thirty-five pieces in ten days."
Thirty-five pictures in ten days, an average of three and a half pictures a day. With the current level of Li Yuan Talisman Crafting Art Minor Accomplishment and the success rate of Spirit-Refining Talisman, this amount is not easy but it is not impossible to catch up.
"After finishing this batch, there will be three more batches to come, the quantities will be similar to this time."
Alchemist He's tone was flat, as if he was explaining a trivial matter that was not worth spending any time on.
"After completing the four batches, Breakthrough Pill's account will be cleared."
"Okay." Li Yuan nodded.
He walked to the corner, opened the wooden box and looked at the materials.
The materials required for Talisman Paper, Spirit Ink, Spirit Guiding Sand, Soul-Stabilizing Powder, and Spirit-Refining Talisman are all available, and the quality is half a step better than what Wang Family Talisman Hall provides.
The amount of materials is also generous. According to the current success rate of Li Yuan, there will still be some left after completing thirty-five pictures.
Li Yuan lifted the wooden box, nodded to Alchemist He, turned and left the yard.
