Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1203: Chapter 417: Body Cultivation Treasure?

However...

As Ji Yuan was regaining his composure, he seemed to remember something.

Just as the thought crossed his mind, he almost slapped himself.

”If I’d known the Star-Stepping Wheel was this powerful, why did I run away on my own? I could’ve just fled with the Star-Stepping Wheel overhead, saving myself all this fear and worry.”

But upon second thought, experiencing the survival crisis at the brink of life and death was worthwhile.

Not to mention that the lightning at the core area was so fierce that merely enduring it twice caused Ji Yuan to feel, with the nurturing of the Profound Sun Blood Amber and Blazing Sun Bones within his body, that the newly grown flesh was considerably stronger than before.

In this way, he waited another half a day.

Once his body fully recovered, Ji Yuan finally took out the pure black Treasure Armor he had recently acquired from his Storage Bag.

Perhaps because it had been constantly receiving thunder forging before, the moment Ji Yuan touched it, he even felt a shocking sensation, and both his hands became numb.

Even the surrounding lightning started to congregate upon the Treasure Armor.

... Damn, what is this? Treasure armor made from lightning rods?

Ji Yuan tossed the Treasure Armor forward, and within a ten-mile radius, lightning naturally converged, landing on the Treasure Armor, just without the previous formidable power seen in the core area.

Even lightning spheres failed to form.

Ji Yuan stood watching the Treasure Armor from a distance, unable to discern its exact grade.

The material... seemed quite peculiar, capable of attracting lightning.

”But if that’s truly the case, if I wear it, it could automatically attract thunder forging, boosting the tempering effect of the lightning storm significantly.”

”Just like now, even though we’re merely eighty miles into the thunderstorm area, by donning this Treasure Armor, the surrounding lightning might gather, potentially enhancing the effect to a hundred or even a hundred and ten miles. Not to mention if I wear it into the core area...”

Ji Yuan mused while sensing the ten-mile radius emptiness.

He strolled to the Treasure Armor, unfazed by the lightning, and reached out!

When he grasped the Treasure Armor once more, he didn’t hesitate, letting mana surge within, intending to refine the unclaimed Treasure Armor.

Yet, when he infused mana into the Treasure Armor, he realized... it was futile?!

The Treasure Armor couldn’t be refined?

No matter how much mana Ji Yuan injected, it dissipated like clay oxen vanishing in the sea, receiving no feedback whatsoever.

”This shouldn’t be. If this Treasure Armor was owned, my mana wouldn’t penetrate at all; otherwise, if it required considerable mana for refining, with all the mana injected, there should be some feedback.”

Even previously refining the Star-Stepping Wheel, Ji Yuan could perceive some feedback.

Or at least observe some progress bar, but for this Treasure Armor, none of that existed... clearly the method was incorrect.

After infusing most of the mana from his Blood Pill into the Treasure Armor without receiving feedback, Ji Yuan ceased the injection.

”The mana I injected earlier mostly transformed into Spiritual Qi, dissipating into the air, indicating this Treasure Armor doesn’t retain mana, but if it doesn’t, how do we refine it?”

Ji Yuan rubbed his chin with his right hand, frowning in contemplation.

He then summoned the PWoang Divine Eyes from his brow, scrutinizing the Treasure Armor thoroughly.

The outcome... revealed no anomalies.

”Could this be some Miracle Treasure? But even Miracle Treasures require refining, right?”

Whether it’s the hiding Conical Hat, Chasing Lightning Cloud, or Star-Stepping Wheel that Ji Yuan currently possesses.

”Why is that?”

Ji Yuan grew increasingly baffled.

”Whatever, if I can’t figure it out, I won’t brood over it. I’ll try wearing it to see how much the body tempering effect enhances.”

Ji Yuan decided, picking up the Treasure Armor with both hands, made slight adjustments, and soon found a way to wear it.

Within a few breaths, upon wearing the Treasure Armor, he immediately felt the pleasure of thunder forging, albeit it’s both enjoyable and painful.

But he soon detected another anomaly.

”This Treasure Armor... can transform itself to fit my body size; no, it seems I’ve refined this Treasure Armor...”

”Hmm? This Treasure Armor can be stored within me, allowing me to choose whether or not to attract surrounding lightning for forging?”

Ji Yuan initially chose to disable this feature, and the gathering lightning dispersed naturally, reverting everything to its previous state, ceasing the strikes on the Treasure Armor, or rather, on him.

Then he enabled the feature again, with lightning within ten miles being attracted once more.

After toggling the feature several times, Ji Yuan learned about the Treasure Armor’s details.

Its name — Partridge Armor.

Ji Yuan didn’t know why it was named thus; as for Miracle Treasure... it wasn’t one, but actually a Body Cultivation Treasure, which is precisely why.

This is why Ji Yuan couldn’t refine it with mana initially.

However, once worn, his entire blood essence was stimulated by the lightning, immediately refining the Partridge Armor.

”So there are Body Cultivation Treasures in this world; this is a good thing, although the Spirit Devouring Armor is excellent, one can never have too many Defensive Treasures, and the Partridge Armor can be stored inside, released whenever needed... The key is its outstanding defense for the physique.”

Upon sensing, Ji Yuan estimated that after wearing the Partridge Armor, his physique’s defensive capability truly matches the Golden Body Profound Bone Realm.
