Chapter 389 Refining Treasures
Having obtained the Xuan Gang Thunderwood, Zhang Lingyu rushed back to Qingya Mountain without stopping. After giving Wang Menghan a few instructions, she went straight into the secret chamber.
On the table are three jade boxes, corresponding to Thunder Soul Crystal, Heavenly Thunder Crystal and Profound Gang Thunder Wood respectively, plus two pieces of Yi Wood Thunder Bamboo.
We can begin.
Only after adjusting one's own magical power and condition to their peak can the true beginning of refining one's natal magic weapon truly begin.
He first took out six Xuan Ting flying swords and suspended them in mid-air, then spat out a mouthful of blazing purple flames.
Purple Yang Fire.
This fire was only obtained when the family's original fourth-grade cultivation technique, "Purple Sun Secret Scripture," was mastered. As the direct descendants gradually switched to cultivating "Burning Yuan Fire Scripture," this method became the mainstream cultivation method for the collateral descendants.
Don't underestimate it just because it's only a fourth-grade cultivator; it can still be cultivated to the Golden Core stage.
The Purple Sun Flame cannot be compared to the Burning Yuan Heart Flame. However, the latter is too domineering and skilled in attack. If it is used for alchemy or weapon forging, it will most likely destroy the magic weapon.
On the contrary, the former has the wonderful use of alchemy and weapon crafting. Combined with the alchemical fire that comes with breaking through to the Golden Core stage, it is also suitable for crafting one's natal magic weapon.
The Purple Sun Fire tightly enveloped the Xuan Ting Flying Sword, and in no time, the flying sword turned into a pool of silvery lightning liquid.
The action just now was not just smelting, but also purification.
To forge this set of flying swords, the entire family at the Foundation Establishment stage mobilized. Even though it took a year to complete, it still falls short by today's standards.
With a casual gesture, Zhang Lingyu sent the lightning liquid flying into the lightning storage pool beside him to be nurtured.
"Now comes the main event!"
Even though the Xuan Ting Flying Sword has become a top-grade Foundation Establishment magic weapon, it is still only at the Foundation Establishment level. To a Golden Core cultivator, it is nothing more than something that can be easily broken.
The real challenge lies in the Golden Core materials, such as Thunder Soul Crystal.
It would take him at least a year to refine these spiritual materials on his own, during which time he could not relax his magic power or his mind even slightly.
He had already prepared the elixirs and other items to restore his mana, and he had plenty of time.
If I don't go into seclusion for the next three to five years, I'll really be embarrassed to come out of seclusion.
Let's start with the easiest one!
Zhang Lingyu grabbed the Thunder Soul Crystal in his palm and casually tossed it into the Purple Sun Fire. Unlike the Xuan Ting Flying Sword, the Thunder Soul Crystal was not defenseless and trembled violently after being stimulated.
Thousands of lightning bolts streaked back and forth within the cave, while the muffled rumble of thunder created a very oppressive atmosphere.
The scorching flames continued to burn the crystal, and the lightning inside became extremely unstable, as if it could explode at any moment.
Seeing this, Zhang Lingyu did not hesitate to increase the output of her magic power, and her divine sense was also carefully controlling the flames to prevent accidentally destroying the Thunder Soul Crystal.
Failure would be a minor matter; accidentally blowing up the entire Qingya Mountain would be the greatest sin.
Time flowed slowly, and it took him nearly a month and a half to completely refine the Thunder Soul Crystal. Looking at the slowly flowing silver light in front of him, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As mentioned before, once you start refining, you absolutely cannot stop halfway without the help of others.
In a month and a half, his magical power was depleted five or six times, and his mind was exhausted. Fortunately, he managed to get through it with the help of pills.
And this is just the beginning.
The difficulty of the Heavenly Thunder Essence is at least one level higher.
After resting for nearly five days, Zhang Lingyu finally recovered to his peak condition and his gaze fell upon the Qiantian Thunder Essence.
"Finally, all of them have been refined!"
Looking at the four streams of silver lightning liquid and a large stream of bluish-purple lightning liquid in front of him, Zhang Lingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This refining process took nearly two years, which is not much different from the initial calculation.
Although it seems like a happy occasion that all the spiritual materials have been refined, he was well aware of the dangers involved.
Especially when refining the Xuan Gang Thunderwood, the excessive consumption of magical power prevented timely replenishment, almost destroying this hard-won treasure.
Even now, my back is still covered in cold sweat.
In the end, it was only through his powerful divine sense that he was able to stabilize it.
"The most dangerous moment is yet to come!"
Despite the extreme danger, the previous steps involved refining spiritual materials, which were child's play compared to the final shaping process. If there were only one material to work with, it would be easier, but the trouble was with four.
Although they are all of the lightning attribute, each one corresponds to a different branch, and there will be considerable repulsion when they are combined.
What Zhang Lingyu had to do was stabilize it, ensuring that it would perfectly merge together under the dual pressure of magical power and divine consciousness.
That's not all; the real problem is that he has to deal with a total of thirty-six portions!
If he hadn't cultivated the "Spiritual Profound Soul Nourishing Scripture" and made his spiritual sense far surpass that of other cultivators of the same level, he would never have dared to be so arrogant!
After regaining his composure, he waved his long sleeves, and the four streams of lightning liquid in front of him were precisely divided into thirty-six equal portions, which were then suddenly merged together.
In an instant, the entire cave was filled with dazzling cyan-purple lightning, and the powerful gale blew everything away. If it weren't for the array restraining it, the roof would probably have been blown off.
Despite multiple safeguards, Qingya Mountain has still been significantly affected by external factors.
"What's wrong? Did the earthquake happen?"
"What a joke! Qingya Mountain has a protective array; how could the Earth Ox Turning Over possibly affect it?"
"The commotion is coming from the mountaintop. In my opinion, it's probably a powerful divine technique being practiced by a master!"
Just as the cultivators were discussing among themselves, a clear shout came from the mountains.
"Disciples below the late stage of Qi Refining, immediately leave Qingya Mountain!"
It was the voice of the current clan leader, Zhang Yuanli.
Many cultivators immediately stopped discussing and flew away. After leaving the area of Qingya Mountain, they turned around and saw dark clouds covering the sky and lightning snakes slithering away.
This strange phenomenon resembles the scene when Zhang Lingyu underwent the Golden Core Tribulation.
After many low-level cultivators left Qingya Mountain, Zhang Yuanli, Zhang Xingyao, and a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators also came outside. They already knew that Zhang Lingyu was in seclusion refining magic weapons.
Just looking at this horrifying scene made me shudder.
"What kind of magical artifact are they forging...?"
The confusion that lingers in the hearts of the people is also their confusion, but one thing is certain.
That means this treasure must be extraordinary.
Throughout history, whenever a heaven-defying elixir or magical artifact is created, extraordinary phenomena often occur, and some may even trigger a tribulation of lightning.
But right now, there are only thunderclouds gathering, and no lightning is falling, so it is just an ordinary phenomenon.
However, one can't be too afraid of the unexpected, so the Foundation Establishment cultivators had no choice but to stay put and guard the area.
For the next nine days, the thunderclouds remained gathered and did not disperse. Only after this period did they begin to slowly dissipate. Seeing the strange phenomenon disappear, the cultivators returned to Qingya Mountain one after another.
Zhang Lingyu, inside the cave, was unaware of this and remained focused on stabilizing the fusion of the thirty-six portions of lightning liquid.
Large beads of sweat streamed down his face, his magical power was almost depleted, and what was worse, his mental energy was greatly depleted, causing his eyelids to droop.
The only way to refresh oneself is with elixirs that can stabilize the mind.
Fortunately, perseverance pays off. The spiritual materials refined in the thirty-six portions of lightning liquid finally stopped fighting each other and instead showed signs of gradually merging.
