"Rumors say that powerful Ancient Body Refiners not only refined their bodies with Evil Qi but also took the insane step of using Thunder Tribulation to temper their flesh. The rationale behind it is to harness the attribute of destruction that thunder represents on the flip side."
"I wonder, can I utilize the power of thunder?"
Standing in the Thunder Strike Wood Forest, Luo Chen stared blankly at a Thunder Strike Wood that was ascending to a higher order, lost in thought.
The moon shone faintly, and the night was heavy.
Luo Chen stood in the deep and shadowy Black Wood Forest, where occasionally, silvery lightning would burst forth, revealing his tall and straight figure.
Suddenly, Luo Chen made a move.
Under the watchful eyes of Duan Feng and Xu Huanzhen from a distance, he reached out to touch a short Thunder Strike Wood.
Crackle and pop!
Duan Feng’s expression changed slightly, "The President apparently doesn’t know the technique of lightning guidance. Facing the lightning with his body like this, I’m afraid..."
Before he could finish, Luo Chen’s figure had already stiffened.
He was only stiff for a mont before Luo Chen hesitantly lifted his hand, looking at his fingertip.
A black dot stood out starkly on his fingertip.
"Seems to be effective?"
Lost in thought, he repeated the experint a few tis just like before.
After a long while, he slowly walked back.
"President, what happened?" Xu Huanzhen asked curiously.
Having been acquainted with Luo Chen for a long ti, Duan Feng knew his temperant and thus asked, "President, do you want to use the slight power of thunder from the Thunder Strike Wood for sothing?"
Luo Chen nodded.
"You Tool Casting Crafters seem to understand the doctrine of lightning attraction?"
Duan Feng humd in acknowledgnt, "Indeed, the art of Tool Casting is broad and profound. The most common thod is to use fire to lt tals for Tool Casting, but there are also techniques involving flesh and soul, and more advanced thods naturally involve harnessing the forces of nature for Tool Casting."
"It’s rumored that when Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators transcend their Divine Transformation Lightning Tribulation, they have used Tribulation Thunder to forge True Devices."
"Us ordinary Tool Casting Crafters, though lacking such ans, still have corresponding support devices to borrow the power of lightning from nature."
Above Magic Tools and Magic Items are True Devices.
True Devices are not sothing ordinary Cultivators can possess, even Nascent Soul True Masters often struggle to own one.
Such an item can only be obtained by ascending from a Natal Magic Item.
And, it needs to be imbued with a trace of Tribulation Thunder’s aura to ascend from an Ascendant Grade Magic Item to a True Device.
But transcending tribulation is a life-and-death matter, who can use Tribulation Thunder for refining?
Therefore, nurous Nascent Soul True Masters and Divine Transformation Great Powers look to other doctrines, attempting to attract ordinary Heavenly Thunder to refine their Natal Magic Items.
As ti passed,
The techniques of these doctrines gradually matured, spreading downward bit by bit.
Eventually, it led to ordinary Tool Casting Crafters being able to use support devices to harness the power of lightning for refining, even without a Lightning Spirit Root.
"Do you have it?" Luo Chen asked.
Duan Feng nodded, "I have a Lightning Attraction Network with that I occasionally use for Artifact Refining. The business of Magic Tools has been difficult to maintain recently, and it’s been idle and of no use; I can give it to you."
Sotis, plans just can’t keep up with changes.
The Luo Tian Creed’s attempt to profit from the war by making the Artifact Hall earn Spirit Stones fell through as Li Yingzhang was gravely injured and Wang Yuan went missing.
Most importantly, the business on the Golden Sand Floating Island had long been claid by others, far beyond the reach of Duan Feng, a re ordinary Tool Casting Crafter.
He was still too young.
"Hmm, thank you."
Taking a net that shimred with a cyan and white hue from the other party, Luo Chen returned to his stone cottage with a look of contemplation.
The next day.
Luo Chen appeared in the Thunder Strike Wood Forest again.
This place had the strongest concentration of Thunder Power in their encampnt.
Just like before, he tried to absorb the power of lightning with his body, but all it brought him were minor injuries.
"The amount is too little!"
Luo Chen muttered to himself as he began to use the Guided Thunder Net given to him by Duan Feng.
With Spirit Power activated, several nearby Thunder Strike Woods suddenly burst with silvery lightning that traveled along the net towards Luo Chen.
In an instant,
Luo Chen was as if struck by a heavy blow, his whole body enshrouded in electric light.
After quite so ti, Luo Chen exhaled a breath of Turbid Qi, a faint burnt fragrance lingering on his body.
Executing a Healing Technique, Luo Chen once again fell into deep thought.
"Still no good, I don’t have a Lightning Spirit Root and simply can’t control the power of thunder."
"One bout of lightning, after healing, indeed strengthened my physique by a tiny bit, but just a tiny bit."
"This kind of accumulation is ti-consuming, wastes Spirit Qi, and is totally not worth the loss."
Luo Chen continued to assess his condition.
The so-called vitality contained in thunder and lightning was completely beyond his current level of capability.
What he could utilize was only the most superficial stuff.
Utilizing lightning to temper his physique and then using Wood Spirit Energy to perform Healing Techniques, allowing the body to beco stronger through repeated tempering and recovery.
But that was as far as it could go.
"What a pity, I thought I had discovered so incredible Body Refinent Techniques."
"Without a Lightning Spirit Root, there’s no way to harness the Spirit Qi contained in the lightning and allow it to stay in the ridians for long periods to refine the body."
He sighed.
Luo Chen put away the Lightning Attraction Network.
Just as he was about to leave, Luo Chen had a thought.
"I don’t have any Earth Fire Evil Qi on hand right now, but the lightning here is mostly of the yin wood category. What if I guided it into my body to unblock my orifices?"
"’Sky Roc Transformation’ also ntioned the best way to cultivate this technique is to use the Blood Essence of three Ancient Savage Beasts: the Thunder Roc, the Golden Winged Roc, and the Sky Yang Roc."
"The latter two techniques are incomplete, but after incorporating Thunder Roc Blood Essence, there are relatively detailed thods to develop it."
"My Orifice Unblocking Technique is inspired by ’Sky Roc Transformation’. If I make so slight modifications..."
Luo Chen licked his lips in anticipation, looking towards the nearby Thunder Strike Wood Forest.
This place was a treasure trove for him!
The value lay not in the materials but in the boundless and relatively gentle accumulation of thunder power.
