After a while,
Zap! Zap!! Zap!!!
Three purple chains flashed through the void, binding the tree and stones around; the next moment, intense purple light flashed through the chains.
Boom!!!
The tree scorched and burst into flame, while the stone turned black like carbon. If those guardians see these chains, their jaws will drop in shock, as the condensed and visible purple lightning chains, like metal chains, are the sign of technique perfection, which means Shen Yi practiced the top mysterious-class technique to perfection in just a few hours. It describes the horror of his talent.
Shen Yi retracted the chains, satisfied with the result, then his expression became thoughtful.
"I just practiced this technique to perfection, but I can only release three chains with it; probably that's why it is just a mysterious class…"
Shen Yi muttered thoughtfully, and then his gaze became deeper, and he added,
"Maybe I can try upgrading it; summoning six or nine chains at once will definitely upgrade it to earth-class, and if I condense these chains into my hybrid lightning metal attribute, then it may even ascend to heaven-class… After that I can even try infusing each chain with another kind of attribute along with metal and lightning; it will then definitely ascend to top heaven-class."
Just as he decided the direction in which he would upgrade this technique, he stopped, noticing a familiar figure flying toward him from the back mountain.
Zi Yan appeared and landed in front of him; she hurriedly released a bundle of medicinal plants on the stone in front of him and said,
"Here I have collected these herbs for you; I will look for the rest tomorrow."
After speaking, she noticed the scorched tree and stones around and asked curiously, "Were you practicing a flame attribute technique?"
Shen Yi shook his head and replied while putting away the medicine plants in his storage ring, "I am practicing lightning attribute technique, not flame."
Zi Yan realized and then nodded. Shen Yi then released the purple amethyst crystal with a quartz source in it and passed it toward her and said,
"Here, absorb it. I already promised to give it to you."
Zi Yan glanced at the purple crystal and then hurriedly snatched it, with a happy smile materializing on her face.
"Thank you, I will see you tomorrow." After thanking him cheerfully, she immediately flew away and disappeared from his vision as if a little girl had received her favorite toy.
Shen Yi glanced at her disappearing back and then shook his head with a smile; then he released the medicinal plants and started arranging them.
After a while,
He glanced at the medicine plants in front of him arranged categorically.
"Twelve third-order, four fourth-order, and one fifth-order plants, as expected of one of the top academies in the world… It's really filled with treasures."
Then he put them away and added with deep expression, "It's time to create my own alchemy method and exchange pill recipes from my unlimited exchange talent."
…
Soon a few weeks passed,
After leaving the dormitory early morning every day,
Shen Yi would visit his favorite spot in the back mountain and practice and improve the purple chain technique.
After a while, Zi Yan will supply the medicine plants, and Shen Yi will give her special items filled with energy that will unlock and improve her bloodline. These days she started trusting him more and acted like a close friend, and her interest in crude and bitter medicine plants reduced a lot after enjoying the delicious taste of treasures given to her by Shen Yi.
Shen Yi glanced at the Zi Yan sleeping on the stone while digesting the fruit he just gave her.
'This girl, despite being ten thousand years old, has no vigilance; it took me only a few days to gain her complete trust. Now she is even taking treasure and hibernating in front of me.'
He thought to himself and then shook his head and muttered thoughtfully,
"Maybe I am the only one who knows her secrets; that's why. Anyway, her life experience is really pitiful… a noble princess that should have been raised in the palm of a hand is now rolling in the mountain and scrambling for treasures like a wild beast."
He sighed and then took a deep breath and released the three fourth-grade medicine plants and fourth-tier beast core.
"Anyway, who would believe that I have come up with a way to refine alchemy using lightning, flame, and wood hybrid attributes? I call it tribulation alchemy."
Shen Yi muttered thoughtfully, looking at the medicinal plants. He released his soul power and controlled the medicines and core midair, then he released different-colored lightning from both of his hands.
Immediately green, golden, red, and black lightning mixed and struck the medicine and cores one by one, but strangely the medicine and cores that should have burned because of such heavy lightning bombardment stayed the same.
Instead, the outer layer of the plants and core incinerated into dust, leaving behind four drops of condensed, different-colored medicine liquid. Next, the liquid merged, and a heavy beam of mixed lightning fell on the medicine liquid, even fusing the atoms inside in the shape of a thumb-sized pill.
'Thankfully I have devoured the yin yang lightning fruit; it granted me the control of the positive and negative aspects of lightning, or such lightning alchemy wouldn't be possible.'
Shen Yi thought to himself, retracting his dou qi and soul power, and put away the fifth-rank pill he just created using fourth-grade items.
Then he raised both hands. The flame lightning in his heart moved, and golden bright burning lightning materialized on his right hand, while dark red burning lightning materialized on his left hand.
Both of these lightnings are based on hybrid flame and lightning attributes; one shows the positive aspect of lightning flames, bright and golden and filled with light that gives hope, and the other is a negative aspect filled with darkness that takes away the hope.
Similarly, his water, metal, earth, wood, and wind attributes have both positive and negative aspects, but whether they're positive or negative in terms of destruction, these hybrid lightning attributes are now second to none.
