290: Refining Yang Lightning Bead

In his personal profile, the layers of Azure Origin Sword Art had increased to 13.

This meant that he could Cultivate Azure Origin Sword Art without worrying about his main Cultivation Technique until the Soul Transformation Stage.

If he didn't find the subsequent Cultivation Technique for Azure Origin Sword Art after Soul Transformation, then he would consider whether to switch to other Cultivation Techniques.

"Oh, right, it seems I can now Cultivate Lightning Body Induction, and also refine Yang Lightning Bead."

Previously, when he learned the Yu Lei Secret Method, the description for Lightning Body Induction stated that only a Core Formation Body Cultivator could Cultivate it.

Now he had met the requirements for the Secret Technique's Cultivation.

He could try Cultivating it.

This Secret Technique was quite good.

It drew lightning into the Physical Body, thereby enhancing one's speed and attack.

Paired with a Body Cultivator, it felt quite powerful when used.

If it could be used in conjunction with Transforming Dragon Divine Power, that would be even more incredible.

He had already learned the Yu Lei Secret Method earlier.

Therefore, comprehending the Secret Technique of Lightning Body Induction was not too difficult.

Soon, he mastered the usage of this Secret Technique.

System Reminder: You have comprehended the Secret Technique Lightning Body Induction!

As the red prompt appeared, a set of Lightning Body Induction Cultivation Technique appeared in Mu Feng's Sea of Consciousness.

This made him very excited.

In the future, when engaging in combat as a Body Cultivator, he could try out the power of this Secret Technique.

Having learned a new Secret Technique, Mu Feng then turned his attention to another Secret Skill within the Yu Lei Secret Method.

That was the Lightning Creation Method.

The Lightning Creation Method contained three types of Thunder Beads: Heaven Thunder Stone, whose power was comparable to a full-strength attack from a Foundation Establishment Cultivator; Yang Lightning Bead, whose power was comparable to a full-strength attack from a Core Formation Cultivator; and Wind Thunder Bead, whose power was comparable to a full-strength attack from a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

If he could refine some and carry them with him, it should allow him to advance further in the Trial Tournament.

"lightning-drawing wood, I wonder if the Transaction Channel here has any."

"Let's see."

Mu Feng had wanted to refine Yang Lightning Bead earlier, but he had never found lightning-drawing wood.

Now that he had arrived at a new map, he wanted to see if it was being sold on the Transaction Channel here.

Opening the Transaction Channel, Mu Feng typed in "lightning-drawing wood" and began to search.

Soon, a long list of lightning-drawing wood information appeared before him.

"There really is!"

Mu Feng was overjoyed and quickly checked their prices.

"It seems a bit expensive."

Looking through them, the cheapest lightning-drawing wood cost three hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

The price was frighteningly expensive.

His current net worth was only a little over three hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

One piece alone would account for one-tenth of his net worth.

"Forget it, I'll just buy three pieces."

Originally, Mu Feng wanted to prepare more to have on hand.

But with such an exorbitant price, he could only back down.

System Reminder: lightning-drawing wood x3

After spending ninety thousand Spirit Stones, Mu Feng held three sections of dark, hard, heavy black wood.

lightning-drawing wood: A mystical wood capable of attracting and storing lightning, with a hard and heavy texture, it is a top-grade Material for refining lightning-type Magic Treasure.

"So heavy."

"I wonder how many Yang Lightning Beads can be refined from one section?"

The lightning-drawing wood was not large, roughly the thickness and length of an adult's arm.

Mu Feng estimated that refining four or five Yang Lightning Beads from one section would be the maximum.

"But it should be worth it. If I make some, I can sell one or two to recover the cost."

This kind of treasure, where one bead was equivalent to a full-strength attack from a Core Formation Cultivator, if he was willing to trade it, he believed many people would be willing to buy it.

"Forget it, let's see how many I can refine first."

This stuff was only useful in large quantities.

The more, the stronger.

If he threw out dozens or hundreds at once, even a Nascent Soul Cultivator would likely be in trouble.

So if the quantity was too small, he would just use them himself.

The main reason was that the work of refining these Thunder Beads was not easy.

He needed to activate his own lightning power, and the Magic Power consumed was also enormous.

Entering the forging room, Mu Feng took out the Extreme Lightning Bottle and lightning-drawing wood.

With everything ready, Mu Feng immediately activated the Extreme Lightning Bottle, extracting the lightning power from it.

This process required great care, as lightning was inherently an extremely unstable thing, and any mishandling could cause an explosion.

"Not good!"

"Boom!"

Just as he extracted the lightning from the Extreme Lightning Bottle and before he could put it into the lightning-drawing wood, he accidentally let the lightning escape, which directly exploded in the forging room.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, instantly releasing the Azure Origin Sword Shield to block it as the lightning exploded.

Despite this, he was still affected by a good deal of the lightning power, and his entire body was scorched black.

"Phew, it really is dangerous enough."

Fortunately, he reacted in time, and coupled with the fact that his Physical Body had reached a strength close to that of a Magic Treasure after Cultivating the Heavenly Martial Body Tempering Art, otherwise, being hit by the Extreme Lightning Bottle's red lightning at such a close distance would have at least skinned him alive, if not killed him.

"Again!"

After a simple cleanup, Mu Feng reactivated the Extreme Lightning Bottle.

This time, Mu Feng became even more cautious.

Every step was taken slowly.

Soon, he reached the step where he had just failed.

Earlier, he had been too eager in extracting, causing the lightning to escape his control.

Learning from his previous failure, Mu Feng released his Divine Sense this time, constantly monitoring the changes in the lightning.

He peeled it off the Extreme Lightning Bottle bit by bit, then slowly moved it into the lightning-drawing wood, and finally slowly Sealed the incantation onto it.

When the last incantation was input, the entire lightning-drawing wood began to emit a golden glow!

System Reminder: Yang Lightning Bead refined successfully!

System Reminder: Yang Lightning Bead x5

After a series of prompts, Mu Feng had five more purple Thunder Beads in his hand.

Yang Lightning Bead: Made from lightning-drawing wood absorbing lightning power, when activated and thrown out, its power is comparable to a full-strength attack from a Core Formation Cultivator.

"Phew!"

"Finally!"

"Five, that's not bad!"

Looking at the extra Thunder Beads in his hand, Mu Feng's face was filled with excitement.

He was very satisfied with this yield.

After a simple rest to allow his depleted Magic Power to recover slightly, Mu Feng turned to continue refining the remaining Thunder Beads.

....

Half an hour later, Mu Feng walked out of the forging room, looking exhausted.

Refining these Thunder Beads was truly too draining on his mind and Magic Power.

In half an hour, he felt more tired than if he had gone through a major battle.

Fortunately, all his efforts were worth it.

Looking at the ten extra purple Thunder Beads and five golden Thunder Beads in his hand, Mu Feng's tired face could not hide his smile.
