Just like the Divine Wood Sect on Divine Wood Island, Wuzhen Taoist Palace in the Sea of Spirit has also become a new alias for Spirit Source Land.

Spirit Source Land no longer acts under the Yang family’s name in the Sea of Spirit, but instead uses the name of Wuzhen Taoist Palace.

With time, the once Yang family will gradually be forgotten, and Wuzhen Taoist Palace will become one of the new Three Sects of the Sea of Spirit.

In a blink of an eye, another four years have passed.

Inside the Pill Hall.

Yang Zhenshan, Yang Jizhen, Ma Qiuyan, Ning Yun, and Cui Yang gathered in the Pill Hall.

The Golden Crow controlled the golden True Sun Fire to scorch the sword embryo in the center, while Ma Qiuyan and Ning Yun incessantly imprinted talismanic restrictions into the sword embryo. Yang Jizhen carefully condensed two mounds of magma transformed from minerals, one from Mist Thunder Stone, and another from Purple Cloud Stone.

Yang Zhenshan then gently infused his own Divine Soul and aura into the sword embryo.

As for Cui Yang’s role, he assisted Yang Jizhen.

Refining a Lifebound Magical Treasure is far more troublesome than refining ordinary magical treasures. To ensure nothing goes wrong and to guarantee the quality of the Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword, Yang Zhenshan specially brought in Ning Yun and Cui Yang to help.

Although Cui Yang is not an Artifact Refiner, he has been researching talisman arrays and jade talisman crafting for years, gaining quite a lot of insight into artifact refining.

He’s not exactly an Artifact Refiner or an Array Master, but he’s more than capable of assisting Yang Jizhen. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The five master and apprentice focused entirely on refining the Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword.

As the restriction arrays on the sword embryo took shape, Yang Jizhen first molded the sword hilt with Purple Cloud Stone, then shaped the sword body with Mist Thunder Stone.

As the flames receded, pale thunderlight suddenly appeared.

Ma Qiuyan and Ning Yun waved their hands, rapidly imprinting talismanic restrictions onto the formed Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword.

"Ancestor, Thunder Pearl!" Yang Jizhen suddenly said in a low voice.

Yang Zhenshan immediately understood, spitting out a Qinghua Thunder Pearl.

The Qinghua Thunder Pearl is the core of the Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword.

With the Qinghua Thunder Pearl, the Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword can enhance the power of Wood Divine Thunder.

However, this Qinghua Thunder Pearl is just a seed; the true power of the Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword will depend on Yang Zhenshan’s nurturing in the future.

As the Qinghua Thunder Pearl integrated into the Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword, the originally pale thunder suddenly turned into a greenish-white.

Thunderlight flashed, arcs jumped, producing a crackling sound.

"Thunderstorm!" Yang Jizhen shouted again.

Cui Yang, who was well prepared, threw more than a dozen Mysterious Thunder Talismans onto the Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword.

At the same time, Yang Zhenshan spat out another Thunder Pearl.

This Thunder Pearl is noticeably larger than the previous one.

The previous Thunder Pearl was nurtured for only a year, integrated into the Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword, merely serving as a seed without needing much Wood Divine Thunder.

Now the Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword needs thunderous tempering, and at this moment, the stronger the thunder the better, not fearing its power being insufficient.

Hence, all five master and apprentices exerted their full abilities using their Thunder Skills.

Yang Jizhen directly exhausted his mana, releasing a brilliant Wood Green Thunder.

Ma Qiuyan and Ning Yun also activated the Divine Thunder Prison Array they had prepared behind them.

This Nine Heavens Thunder Prison Array was Luo Cheng’s gift of thanks; two sets of artifact arrays were given by Yang Zhenshan to Ma Qiuyan and Ning Yun, one set each.

Boom!

In the next moment, bolts of thunder appeared in the hall, surging intensely, emitting dazzling electric light.

The surging thunderlight lasted for about a quarter-hour. Yang Jizhen was the first to falter, his figure suddenly swayed backward, slamming into the wall.

Then the intense reverberation spread, pushing Cui Yang, Ma Qiuyan, and Ning Yun out.

A green barrier appeared before Yang Zhenshan, blocking the impact of the thunderlight waves, though his Divine Thunder Magical Power was almost exhausted, forcing him to restrain his mana.

Without the support of mana, a sword with a cyan-white blade and purple hilt clattered to the ground.

"Phew~~"

Yang Zhenshan exhaled heavily and asked, "Are you all okay?"

"We’re fine!" Yang Jizhen climbed up, stepped forward quickly, picked up the Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword, and examined it with excitement.

The other three also rose, although they were a bit disheveled, they were not actually harmed. They were just too focused on using their Thunder Skills to fend off the advancing shockwave, otherwise, this shockwave wouldn’t have affected them.

"Ancestor, it’s a top-grade magical treasure, haha, a top-grade magical treasure!"

Yang Jizhen laughed delightedly.

This is the second top-grade magical treasure he has refined, the first being the Divine Wood Treasure Cauldron, although it became a top-grade magical treasure due to the integration of the Water of Transformation—quite by accident.

The Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword in his hands now is the first top-grade magical treasure that he truly led the refining of by himself.

Yang Zhenshan took the Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword and carefully sensed it.

During the refining process, he already refined the Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword; next, he just needs to nurture it for some time, and this sword will become his Lifebound Magical Treasure.

This sword has a slender body with a texture between glaze and bamboo, featuring meandering purple lightning patterns on a cyan-green base color, the sword spine slightly raised, engraved with dense thunder markings, its color deeper than the blade, showcasing the unique thunder patterns of Golden Thunder Bamboo; the blade edges emit a gentle green glow, thin as cicada wings, where hidden thunderlight can be seen flickering, as if bound thunder struggling to burst forth within the wooden sword body.

The sword hilt is crafted from Purple Cloud Stone, embedded with silver-thread like thunder rune patterns, the handle adorned with nine silk threads tightened in a spiral, surmounted by a diamond-shaped cyan-green crystal stone, upon closer inspection revealed to be solidified thunder magma, with its surface inscribed with dense arc-like lines, this crystal stone being the seed of the Qinghua Thunder Pearl.

Yang Zhenshan lightly swung the sword hilt a few times, instantly causing the thunderlight to flash and arcs to leap.

Originating from the Qinghua Thunder Skill, the Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword is designed as a magical sword for Wood Divine Thunder, and its primary function is to amplify the power of Wood Divine Thunder, making it easier for the wielder to use Thunder Skills.

Once Yang Zhenshan nurtures this sword for a while and fills the Qinghua Thunder Pearl on the sword with mana, using Thunder Skills will yield double the results with half the effort.

Moreover, he can continue nurturing the Qinghua Thunder Pearl; in the future, he won’t need to spit out Qinghua Thunder Pearls anymore and can directly release them from the magical sword.

"Not bad, not bad! Haha~~"

Yang Zhenshan felt delighted sensing the perfect compatibility of the Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword with himself.

"Congratulations, Master, on acquiring another treasure!" Ma Qiuyan and the other three congratulated.

Yang Zhenshan replied with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"Not hard work, just envious!" Cui Yang chuckled.

Lifebound Magical Treasures are coveted by every Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Unlike ordinary magical treasures, Lifebound Magical Treasures have an extraordinarily high compatibility with one’s self, akin to being an extension of oneself.

Lifebound Magical Treasures not only enhance a cultivator’s strength but offer significant advantages to their cultivation.

Now that Cui Yang and the others are Foundation Establishment Cultivators, they naturally wish to refine Lifebound Magical Treasures.

Yang Zhenshan laughed and said, "Once your cultivation reaches mid-stage Foundation Establishment, you too can prepare to refine Lifebound Magical Treasures!"

"I won’t play favorites; when the time comes, I’ll sponsor each of you with one Third-order Spiritual Material, except Jizhen’s Golden Thunder Bamboo, which he nurtured himself."

Refining ordinary magical treasures generally doesn’t require Third-order Spiritual Materials, and refining Lifebound Magical Treasures can also proceed without them, but to pursue higher quality and growth potential, most Foundation Establishment Cultivators will use Third-order Spiritual Materials.

Third-order Spiritual Materials aren’t like cabbage; as a master, Yang Zhenshan couldn’t possibly prepare all the Third-order Spiritual Materials for them, at most just one per person.

Yang Jizhen got a bit of a good deal, as the immature Golden Thunder Bamboo will belong to him, and Yang Zhenshan will prepare one for him when the time comes.

As for whether they’ll need other Third-order Spiritual Materials, that will be their own business.

They are all Foundation Establishment Cultivators and each has their own abilities, so they don’t need to rely on Yang Zhenshan for everything.

"Thank you, Master!"

"Thank you, Ancestor!"

The four responded joyfully in gratitude.
