Time flies when you're cultivating; another year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the outer courtyard of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Qin Changsheng sat cross-legged, a faint, shimmering white spiritual energy surrounding him. As this energy flowed, it drew in surrounding spiritual energy, creating a visible vortex around him.
His eyes were closed, his brows slightly furrowed, his expression focused and serene. His aura was steady and restrained, yet it exuded an increasingly powerful pressure.
Since returning to the Heavenly Sword Sect, Qin Changsheng had never slacked off.
Every day before dawn, he cultivated, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, refining his own magical power, and streamlining his spiritual energy channels, practicing diligently day and night without ceasing.
Whether in the dead of winter or the sweltering heat of summer, he steadfastly remained in his cultivation place, abandoning all distractions and focusing solely on the Dao.
This extreme dedication to cultivation finally yielded rich rewards.
Yesterday, he finally broke through the third level of Foundation Establishment and entered the fourth level.
His internal magical power also received a significant boost, becoming richer and purer, flowing smoothly through his meridians like a rushing river without any stagnation.

In the past year, besides raising his cultivation to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment,
Qin Changsheng also raised his Fire Serpent Technique to Perfected.
The power of the Fire Serpent Technique also increased significantly.
However, these weren't what made Qin Changsheng happiest.
What made Qin Changsheng happiest was that his affix draw count had been refreshed.
He could draw new affixes again.
Qin Changsheng took a deep breath, and his aura gradually calmed down.
The selection of an attribute depends entirely on chance, allowing no room for impatience or anxiety. Only with a clear mind and focused concentration can one maximize their chances of obtaining their desired attribute.
He slowly closed his eyes, clearing his mind of all distractions, concentrating all his attention on his body, focusing his inner vision, and fixing his gaze firmly on the golden attribute selection node that had lit up again.
"Select," Qin Changsheng murmured to himself.
As the selection began, countless golden dots appeared on the attribute panel.
Time slowly passed, and in just a few breaths, the gathered golden dots gradually solidified, forming a refined and substantial golden attribute that slowly emerged from the halo, hovering within Qin Changsheng's consciousness, radiating an ancient yet powerful aura. The characters were neat and clear—[Repair].

Qin Changsheng focused his senses on the information of this new attribute, [Repair]. Countless subtle insights instantly flooded his mind, imprinting the attribute's effects and characteristics entirely into his consciousness.
This gold-level attribute, "Repair," has an extremely powerful core effect.
This attribute can repair all treasures in the world, regardless of their degree of damage. Whether it's a magical artifact, elixir, spiritual material, or even a broken secret realm formation, as long as there are enough spirit stones, it can restore them to their original state. It can even restore the damaged spiritual essence of the treasure, allowing it to regain its former power, or even improve upon it.
The only limitation is the extremely large number of spirit stones required for repair. The higher the level of the treasure and the more severe the damage, the more spirit stones are needed.
Minor damage to ordinary low-level magical artifacts might only require a few dozen low-grade spirit stones to repair. However, for Xuan-level, Di-level, or even higher-level treasures, or supreme treasures that are severely damaged and have lost all their spiritual essence, the required spirit stones are astronomical, far beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.
In addition, this golden attribute, [Repair], comes with three additional characteristics, each with its own unique use. Combined with its core function, it is like adding wings to a tiger.
[Repair: Gold-level entry, [Non-destructive Repair]: Repairing a treasure will not cause any additional damage to the treasure itself. On the contrary, it can slightly nourish the treasure's material, repair its hidden damage, make the treasure's texture more resilient, and its spiritual energy more refined. Compared to its original state, it can even have a slight improvement.]
[Rapid Repair]: No tedious repair procedures are required. Simply activate the power of the entry and inject enough spirit stones to quickly complete the repair. Compared to the manual repair of ordinary cultivators, the speed is several times or even dozens of times faster. Even severely damaged treasures can be repaired in a short time, saving a lot of time.
[Single Use Repair]: Spirit stones can be spent to increase the number of times the treasure can be used.
Qin Changsheng slowly digested all the information of the [Repair] entry, his eyes filled with joy and relief.
He never expected to draw such an extremely useful entry. This was undoubtedly an incredible opportunity for him.
Qin Changsheng raised his hand and gently waved it, a wisp of gentle spiritual energy emanating from his palm. A stream of light flew out from his storage space and landed steadily in his palm.
It was a dark, round bead, about an inch in diameter, its surface covered with fine cracks. Its original spiritual light was completely hidden, with only occasional faint glimmers indicating that it was no ordinary object.
This was the Spirit Suppressing Bead, a high-grade Earth-level magic artifact.
The Spirit Suppressing Bead was the prize Qin Changsheng received after winning the championship in the Heavenly Sword Sect's grand competition.
High-grade Earth-level magic artifacts were extremely rare throughout the entire Heavenly Sword Sect; even Golden Core cultivators might not possess one.
The core function of this bead was to suppress demonic beasts, reducing their strength by one level.
Unfortunately, this Spirit-Suppressing Pearl was severely damaged before it fell into Qin Changsheng's hands, its spiritual essence greatly diminished. It could only be activated once, after which it would become a completely inanimate object.
Qin Changsheng had always treasured it in his storage space, never using it.
Today, having drawn the [Repair] attribute, this Spirit-Suppressing Pearl became the best choice for testing its power.
Qin Changsheng focused his mind on the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl in his palm, slowly activating the [Repair] attribute within his divine sense.
As the power of the attribute was activated, a wisp of condensed golden spiritual light surged from his hand, slowly enveloping the dull Spirit-Suppressing Pearl.
Golden spiritual light swirled around the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl, and the fine cracks on its surface trembled slightly. The previously hidden spirituality, nourished by the [Repair] attribute, showed a faint sign of revival, and the dull pearl began to glow with a soft sheen.
Qin Changsheng could clearly feel the power of the [Repair] attribute slowly permeating the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl, probing its extent of damage, and simultaneously sending back a clear message, imprinted on his divine sense.
After a moment, Qin Changsheng slowly withdrew the attribute's power, the golden spiritual light gradually fading and merging back into his body.
He looked down at the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl in his palm, still bearing cracks, a look of understanding flashing in his eyes. The information from the [Repair] attribute was now clearly imprinted in his mind.
To completely repair this high-grade Earth-level Spirit-Suppressing Pearl, restoring it to its peak state and regaining its full power, would require a full one million low-grade spirit stones!
Even for Qin Changsheng, who was now at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, this number was enormous.
He currently only had tens of thousands of spirit stones in his storage bag, far less than a million.
However, to Qin Changsheng's slight surprise, the [Repair] attribute wasn't limited to a one-time complete repair.
The information clearly indicated that he could also choose a single-use repair mode. Instead of spending a million spirit stones all at once, he only needed to spend ten thousand low-grade spirit stones to repair the Spirit Suppressing Pearl for one full use. After that, if he wanted to use it again, he only needed to spend another ten thousand spirit stones for a single repair.
While the one million spirit stones required for a complete one-time repair was difficult to gather in the short term, the ten thousand spirit stones for a single repair was within his budget.
In this way, he could first spend ten thousand spirit stones to unlock one use of the Spirit Suppressing Pearl, allowing this high-grade Earth-level magic artifact to function, and then slowly accumulate spirit stones until he had enough to completely repair it and restore its peak power.
