The Mineral Vein Dao mission lasted for more than half a month.
Li Yuan maintains a low-damage environment in the depth of Mine Cave, and the progress of the excavation team is much faster than expected. A new Spirit Iron Ore Vein was discovered in the Deep Layer area, with a grade 20% higher than that of the shallow layer and a larger reserve.
Dig the gap, Li Yuan practices in Ghost Mist Forest Talisman Making.
The success rate of Spirit Water Talisman has stabilized at about 50%, and the drawing of First-Order Talisman is even easier. With the blessing of Liquid Spirit Qi after Foundation Establishment, Fireball Talisman has reached the ultimate appearance of First-Order.
This afternoon, Li Yuan finished drawing Fireball Talisman, and a rich red luster appeared on the surface.
Panel jumped out.
[Talisman: Fireball Talisman--Perfection(3200/3200)]
Fireball Talisman Perfection.
Fireball Technique Perfection plus Fireball Talisman Perfection, Fireball This series from Law Technique to Talisman is all at the top.
Panel The second prompt popped up immediately.
Skillful Stroke. White Trait. The permanent condition is that any Talisman Making skill and the corresponding Law Technique both reach Perfection.
Fireball Technique Perfection, Fireball Talisman Perfection. The conditions are met.
Li Yuan equips Green Spirit Talisman Brush.
[Skillful Stroke (white) permanent conditions have been met]
[Is it permanent?]
Yes.
[Permanent success]
[Skillful Stroke (white) has become Permanent Affix]
[Equipment has been consumed]
Talisman Making speed is increased by 10%, and spiritual power consumption is reduced by 10%. The effect is not great, but the advantage is that it is a permanent passive bonus, and the benefits accumulated over time are considerable.
Li Yuan put Equipment Slot in order and continue practicing.
A few days later, the excavation team advanced to the deepest part of Mineral Vein Dao.
This morning, a Yuanyang Sect Disciple hurriedly ran out of Mine Cave and found Li Yuan who was practicing in the open space.
"Senior, Mine Cave dug some strange ores in the deepest part. The senior brother who led the team asked me to invite you to come and have a look."
Li Yuan followed him into Mine Cave and walked along the main Mine Tunnel to the deepest point.
The excavation team stopped in front of a newly dug rock wall. A never-before-seen ore was exposed on the section of the rock wall, which was dark purple with a very light black luster on the surface.
Li Yuan walked to the rock wall and penetrated the inside of the ore with his spiritual consciousness.
A familiar scent seeped out of the ore.
Demonic energy.
It's not Fiend Qi, it's demonic energy.
Li Yuan has become very familiar with the characteristics of demonic energy in the process of practicing Demonic Origin Technique. Fiend Qi is cold and heavy, while demonic energy has a unique corrosiveness and permeability. The textures of the two are completely different.
This dark purple ore contains a considerable concentration of demonic energy.
"What is this thing?" asked Yuanyang Sect Disciple next to him.
"Not sure. Don't touch it yet, wait until I notify Chen Elder."
Li Yuan communicated the situation to Chen Yi through Dharma Protector Token.
In less than half a day, Chen Yi arrived at Mine Cave with several Yuanyang Sect monks.
Chen Yi looked serious after examining the dark purple ore.
"Demonic Spirit Stone, Demonic Qi Stone and so on." His voice was very low.
He turned around and looked deep into Mine Cave.
"There may be more underneath this Mineral Vein Dao."
Chen Yi ordered the excavation to stop on the spot and sealed off the area deep in Mine Cave.
Several Yuanyang Sect monks placed prohibitions and Warning Array laws at the Mine Tunnel entrance, prohibiting anyone from entering.
"These ores cannot flow out." Chen Yi said to Li Yuan. "If this thing falls into the hands of Devil Cultivator, it will be Cultivation Resources. If it falls into the hands of ordinary monks, it will be poison. Yuanyang Sect will send people to deal with it. No one is allowed to approach this area before that."
Li Yuan nodded.
Mineral Vein Dao The mission ends here.
Chen Yi settled the final Contribution Point reward of the mission, and Li Yuan added thousands more Contribution Point to Dharma Protector Token.
Li Yuan put away Token and came out Mine Cave.
The next thing is Artifact Refining Dao.
There are two pieces of materials from Second-Order Monster Beast stored in the storage bag. Although some of the scales and bones of Flood Dragon Scale Lizard were given away during the transaction, there is still a lot left. The carapace and bones of Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle are completely preserved.
Ji Family is good at Artifact Refining Dao, and he still has a Crafting Token in his hand.
Li Yuan returned to Yunyang Marketplace to pack up, and set off early the next morning in the direction of the Ji Family.
Station of the Ji Family is on the edge of Liang Province, about three hundred miles away from Yunyang Marketplace.
After Wind Escape Technique Entry Level, the speed on the road was more than twice as fast as Godly Movement Step. The spiritual power condensed on the soles of the feet to form a support body, the body rose to a height of ten feet, and flew southwest along the direction of the mountains.
The wind blew past my ears, and the woods and hills on the ground quickly receded beneath my feet.
After flying for about half a day, the terrain ahead began to change.
The mountains gradually become gentle, the trees become sparse, and sporadic farmland and villages appear in the field of view. The further you go southwest, the sparser the population, and the concentration of Spiritual Qi gradually decreases.
Ji Family's Fortified Manor appeared at the foot of a low mountain.
It is not large in scale, smaller than the Fortified Manor of the Wang Family. Gray stone walls surround a courtyard with a radius of 60 feet, and several Stone Towers are arranged at random in the courtyard. There are two cave abode entrances on the low hill behind the Fortified Manor, and simple Spirit Pattern lanterns are hung at the entrances.
The surroundings are indeed remote. There are no other monk settlements within a dozen miles, and the nearest market is a hundred miles away.
Li Yuan dropped down and walked to the gate of the Fortified Manor.
The monk on duty recognized him and quickly went in to report.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Ji Huaiyuan walked out of the Fortified Manor.
The old man's complexion was better than when we last met, and his steps were a bit more steady. When he saw Li Yuan, a smile appeared on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Li, please come in quickly."
The two of them sat down in the main hall.
Li Yuan cuts right to the point, taking out Monster Material from the storage bag and placing it on the table.
Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle's carapace, bones, antennae, mouthparts horny valves, and Flood Dragon Scale Lizard's remaining scales and ribs were arranged one by one, forming half a table.
Ji Huaiyuan Pick up each piece of material and look at it carefully, press your fingers to feel the texture and Spiritual Qi Density, and occasionally put it in front of your nose to smell the smell.
After checking for about a quarter of an hour, Ji Huaiyuan put the materials down and nodded.
"The quality of Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle's carapace is excellent. The hardness of the carapace soaked in Fiend Qi is far higher than that of ordinary Second-Order materials. It is the best choice for refining Law Artifact for defense. The scales and bones of Flood Dragon Scale Lizard are also good and can be used as auxiliary materials."
He turned over several pieces of carapace and looked at the cross-section of the bones.
"The materials are enough to make one Second-Tier Low-Grade Dharma Artifact, the quality should not be bad."
He paused and looked at Li Yuan.
"However, if fellow Daoists are willing to add Monster Beast Core to refine it together, the effect will be better. The spiritual power contained in Inner Core can penetrate into the Law Artifact skeleton during the refining process, increasing the spiritual power affinity and upper limit of Law Artifact."
"Inner Core?"
"Inner Core of Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle." Ji Huaiyuan said. "This kind of Demon Beast, Inner Core feeds on Fiend Qi The spiritual power in has the characteristics of Fiend Qi. If you use it to refine Law Artifact, Law Artifact itself will be naturally compatible with Fiend Qi, which should be very suitable for you."
Li Yuan thought for a while.
Inner Core of Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle does not have Affix. If you keep it, you can only sell it and exchange it for Spirit Stone. But if you put it into refining, you can improve the quality of Law Artifact to a higher level, and it will be of much greater use than exchanging it for Spirit Stone.
"Inner Core is for you."
Ji Huaiyuan nodded and put Inner Core away carefully.
"What type of Law Artifact do you want to refine?"
Before Li Yuan could speak, Ji Huaiyuan expressed his thoughts first.
"I have a suggestion."
He picked up a piece of Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle's carapace and tapped it twice on the table.
"Fellow Daoist practices Fiend Qi Cultivation Method, and stores a large amount of Fiend Qi in the body. If you practice a Law Artifact that can collect and use Fiend Qi, you will have an extremely flexible attack method in battle."
He lowered the carapace.
"Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle's carapace itself is compatible with Fiend Qi, plus the Fiend Qi characteristics of Inner Core, the resulting Law Artifact naturally has the ability to absorb and release Fiend Qi. It can passively collect and store the Fiend Qi around it at ordinary times, and concentrate the stored Fiend Qi on the enemy during battle."
Collect and ship Law Artifact from Fiend Qi.
It is equivalent to turning some of the passive effects of Fiend Origin Unification into a weapon that can be actively controlled.
"Okay." Li Yuan said.
Ji Huaiyuan's eyes lit up, as if he had encountered a topic that interested him.
"Okay. The materials and Inner Core are all here. I will start the furnace in the next two days. It will take about seven to ten days. Fellow Daoist just need to stay at the Ji Family."
"Although it is made of Second-Order Middle Grade material, what I plan to build is Law Artifact of Lower Second-Order. This will almost guarantee success, if fellow Daoists have no objections."
Li Yuan nodded, and then Ji Huaiyuan arranged for a Ji Family disciple to take Li Yuan to the guest room to settle down.
The guest room is small but clean and tidy. You can see the low mountain behind the Fortified Manor from the window. The concentration of Spiritual Qi is average, a little worse than Yunyang Marketplace, but much better than the ordinary place.
After settling in, disciple Ji Family took Li Yuan around the Fortified Manor.
The scale of the Ji Family is small. There are less than thirty monks in the clan, most of them are Qi Refining Stage. The core industry is Artifact Refining Dao. There is a Artifact Refining Dao room in the low mountain behind the Fortified Manor, where the fire is always burning.
In addition to Artifact Refining Dao, Ji Family also runs some small businesses of spiritual mineral mining and Spirit Herb planting, maintaining the daily operation of Lineage.
When walking to the east side of the Fortified Manor, disciple Ji Family pointed to a side hall.
"This is where the finished product of Law Artifact is stored at home. Senior Li, you can take a look if you need it."
Li Yuan walked into the side hall.
There are various Law Artifact on several rows of wooden shelves, most of which are First-Order, and a small amount of Lower Second-Order. Swords, knives, shields, armor, rings, beads, all types are complete.
Li Yuan walked around the wooden frame, and Entry Perception did not capture any fluctuations.
There is no Law Artifact with Affix.
However, the purpose of Li Yuan is not to find Affix, but to supplement combat methods.
At present, there is no official Law Artifact on hand, and it depends entirely on the output of Law Technique.
Although the power of Law Technique is not bad, it is also good to have supplementary means.
Anyway, now the efficiency of earning Spirit Stone after Foundation Establishment is far higher than before.
Li Yuan picked a set First-Tier Superior-Grade Law Artifact.
One Spirit Fire Sword, with a fire attribute, a red sword body, three feet and two inches long, which matches the Fire Element bonus of Flame Marrow Body Nourishment. One Black Iron Shield, defensive Law Artifact, can be activated by spiritual power to form a shield, which complements the Three Elements Body Protection's defense system.
The two pieces Law Artifact cost eight hundred Spirit Stone in total.
Li Yuan put Law Artifact away and returned to the guest room to continue practicing.
