Chapter 639: Primordial Magnetic Spirit Wood!

"I can hardly believe that these Thunder Origin Fruits could all ripen overnight—this is truly an unfathomable feat! As for the minor flaws, Young Master Ye, please don't dwell on them."

Yuxin, standing by, was already stunned; the scene unfolding before her was simply miraculous.

As for the ten percent loss, she couldn't care less.

With so many Thunder Origin Fruits, that loss could easily be compensated.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Don't just stand there; everyone go in and collect the Thunder Origin Fruits. This grove is quite large; one-fifth of the fruits should be enough for you. Hurry up—I reckon people are already on their way."

Yuxin nodded. "Thank you, Young Master Ye."

The allure of these Thunder Origin Fruits to the Jade-Faced Fox Clan was immense. Their combat strength was inherently weak, and these fruits were an opportunity for them to grow stronger!

Ye Yuan also entered the grove but did not immediately start collecting the fruits.

Earlier, Ye Yuan had estimated the number of Thunder Origin Fruits: each tree bore about a hundred fruits, and with over a hundred trees in the grove, there were roughly twelve to thirteen thousand fruits in total.

After giving one-fifth to the fox clan, Ye Yuan himself would have nearly ten thousand fruits.

In truth, Ye Yuan didn't need that many. Initially, refining Thunder Origin Fruits yielded excellent results, rapidly increasing his lightning power.

But with overconsumption, the effect diminished greatly, eventually becoming almost negligible.

By Ye Yuan's estimate, refining three thousand fruits would be sufficient for him alone.

However, Ye Yuan wasn't too concerned about that. He wandered through the grove, looking around as if searching for something.

The grove wasn't large, and Ye Yuan quickly surveyed it once, but his brow furrowed: "Could my guess be wrong? Is this grove just a coincidence? Impossible—these fruits are of good quality; there must be a lightning-attributed treasure nearby!"

Unwilling to give up, Ye Yuan wandered through the grove again.

But after several rounds, he still found nothing.

Just as he was about to give up, he caught sight of an inconspicuous Thunder Origin Fruit tree in a corner.

That tree looked exactly like the others, with no apparent difference. But Ye Yuan happened to notice a small flower blooming on its trunk.

The flower was tiny, easily overlooked if not examined closely.

Yet the flower growing on the trunk seemed quite incongruous.

But Ye Yuan didn't care about its incongruity; based on his knowledge of heavenly treasures, that flower alone was enough.

A smile flickered at the corner of Ye Yuan's mouth, and he muttered to himself, "Heh, you almost fooled me! I never expected this grove to be catalyzed by Primordial Magnetic Spirit Wood—no wonder the fruits are of such quality! Your disguise is flawless, but no matter how you hide, this Primordial Magnetic Spirit Flower is unmistakable, for it is where your essence resides."

Ye Yuan was both surprised and delighted. He had guessed there would be a lightning-attributed treasure in the grove, but he never imagined it would be Primordial Magnetic Spirit Wood.

Primordial Magnetic Spirit Wood is a supreme lightning-attributed treasure. After refining it, a cultivator not only gains lightning power but can also evolve along with the wood.

This Primordial Magnetic Spirit Wood is the bane of all filth and evil under heaven!

Possessing it, one becomes immune to all evil!

Even Ye Yuan couldn't help but be tempted by such a treasure!

The Primordial Magnetic Spirit Wood was a sentient being. As Ye Yuan slowly approached, a piece of wood detached from the Thunder Origin Fruit tree and prepared to flee.

But Ye Yuan was prepared and wouldn't give it a chance to escape.

With a slight flick of his finger, a ball of flame instantly surrounded the Primordial Magnetic Spirit Wood—it was the essence of the Pure Sandalwood Fire Lotus!

Under Ye Yuan's careful nurturing, the Pure Sandalwood Sacred Flame was infinitely close to the fifth rank, its power incomparable to before.

Primordial Magnetic Spirit Wood fears fire most. Once Ye Yuan's primordial flame appeared, the wood froze in place, not daring to move.

Lightning belongs to Metal, which fears Fire most, let alone Ye Yuan's primordial flame.

Without hesitation, Ye Yuan used his primordial flame to trap the Primordial Magnetic Spirit Wood and began refining it directly.

This Primordial Magnetic Spirit Wood was not of high rank—only fifth rank.

Fortunately, that was the case; otherwise, the sixth-rank old monsters would have taken an interest. If the wood had grown a bit more, the Thunder Origin Fruits it catalyzed would not have been so simple.

If those sixth-rank old monsters had been tempted, there would have been no room for Ye Yuan.

After about an hour, Ye Yuan finally finished refining the Primordial Magnetic Spirit Wood.

During the refinement, Ye Yuan also gained great benefits. The most direct effect was breaking through a minor realm, reaching the peak of Soul Sea Triple!

He was only one step away from breaking through to the mid Soul Sea stage.

Ye Yuan's breakthrough naturally caused quite a stir.

Yuxin hadn't expected Ye Yuan to break through there. Fearing that her clansmen might disturb him, she ordered that no one was to approach him.

Only after Ye Yuan finished refining the Primordial Magnetic Spirit Wood did Yuxin come over to greet him.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough, Young Master Ye! You are truly a cultivation prodigy—in such a short time, you've already reached Soul Sea Triple!"

While offering congratulations, Yuxin was also deeply impressed.

Although Yuxin looked young, she was actually over a hundred years old.

But that age wasn't considered old among the demon race.

Ye Yuan, however, was genuinely in his teens. Such a pace of progress was truly humbling.

Ye Yuan smiled. "Heh, just a minor realm breakthrough, nothing significant. Have all the Thunder Origin Fruits been collected?"

Yuxin nodded. "Just now, I saw you breaking through here, so I told them not to collect from this area. The fruits from other places have all been gathered."

With that, Yuxin handed Ye Yuan a storage ring. "Young Master Ye, here are your Thunder Origin Fruits—ten thousand in total. Please check them."

Ye Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and took the ring directly. "Good. I'm going to refine the Thunder Origin Fruits here. Please stand guard for me."

Yuxin gave Ye Yuan a surprised look but nodded without saying anything.

Anyone who encountered such a lightning-attributed treasure would be tempted to refine it immediately. Ye Yuan's behavior was understandable.

In truth, after refining the Primordial Magnetic Spirit Wood, the Thunder Origin Fruits would have little effect on enhancing his lightning power.

He chose to refine them in front of Yuxin only to cover his tracks.

If he didn't refine the Thunder Origin Fruits, using lightning power later would seem too abrupt.

One must be wary of others; a treasure like Primordial Magnetic Spirit Wood would tempt even sixth-rank experts.

After all, this thing could evolve. With careful nurturing using one's own Yuan power, evolving it to the sixth rank was only a matter of time.

Who knew whether Yuhuan, upon seeing the Primordial Magnetic Spirit Wood, might harbor ill intentions toward him?
