Magnetic Field

Lin Xingyu was immersed in day-after-day cultivation. The joy of watching himself improve bit by bit every day could not be put into words or described.

Fifteen days later.

Lin Xingyu had just finished today's theory lesson when a flash of Spirit Light suddenly crossed his mind.

First Soul Skill: "Metallurgy Stone!"

Lin Xingyu slapped his own head hard. He had just remembered what he had overlooked.

He had always thought that the metals forged by Forging Masters in this era were the strongest, and that using metals forged by Forging Masters to cultivate "Metallurgy Stone" would grant him very good traits.

But in nature, there were also many metals that were naturally born with all kinds of strange powers.

Why had he only set his sights on the metals in the hands of Forging Masters, while overlooking those that existed in nature?

At that thought, Lin Xingyu immediately remembered a special kind of metal.

"Magnetite! This kind of metal, mostly made of iron, isn't just easy to obtain—its own trait is also very good."

"No! It's more than just good. It could practically be called terrifying!"

"I know. If it works, the trait I gain after refining them should be an electromagnetic field!"

If he really obtained an electromagnetic field, its potential would be enormous. Just think—who among those capable of playing with electromagnetic fields was not a top-tier figure?

And this thing was also quite cheap. He could spend money to buy it in bulk, meaning his first trait could take shape rapidly. Even then, it would not cost him much at all. It was absolutely worth the investment!

Once he thought of it, he did it. When it came to cultivation, Lin Xingyu had always been a man of extremely strong execution!

Besides, practice was the only standard for testing all theories.

Lin Xingyu walked straight out of the room and found the old butler.

"Grandpa Chen! I need some magnetite to verify a few ideas. Please help me buy some."

"No problem, young master. How much magnetite do you need?"

"Buy a little first. We'll see what's needed later."

The old butler did not ask any more questions and turned to carry it out at once.

There were two other servants in the villa, and Lin Xingyu's request was quickly arranged.

Before long, the old butler knocked on the door of Lin Xingyu's cultivation room.

"Young master! The things you need have already been bought."

After saying that, Uncle Chen took over a hundred jin of magnetite out of the Storage Soul Device in his hand and placed it in front of Lin Xingyu.

"These things are not expensive. If you need them in the future, you can tell me directly. I can go buy them specially for you."

"This is enough. If I need more in the future, I'll bring it up again. Oh, right, Grandpa Chen, help me collect a little of every common metal on the market. Just a little is enough."

"No problem. I'll have it arranged for you tomorrow!"

Lin Xingyu then forcefully lifted the over one hundred jin of magnetite and brought it to the place where he meditated.

The old butler thoughtfully closed the door of the cultivation room for Lin Xingyu. "If you need anything else, you can still tell me. In terms of cultivation, the master said to support you with all our strength."

Lin Xingyu walked back into the room and sat cross-legged. Once the pieces of metal were laid out one by one, the First Soul Ring on his body lit up.

"Metallurgy Stone, show me what you can do! Give me a huge boost!"

As the yellow Soul Ring on Lin Xingyu's body lit up, a strange radiance surfaced in his hand.

That radiance seemed to carry its own unique aura of quiet stillness. It drifted down silently and soundlessly, finally landing steadily on the magnetite in front of Lin Xingyu.

The magnetite in front of Lin Xingyu instantly underwent a violent change. The color of that radiance grew heavier and heavier, while the magnetite before him gradually lost its luster.

In the end, when the magnetite had dimmed to the extreme, it soon shattered into iron dregs all over the ground, while that radiance slowly returned to Lin Xingyu's body.

Lin Xingyu closed his eyes, activated "High-Dimensional Vision," and quietly sensed the changes in his body.

Very quickly, joy rose in Lin Xingyu's heart. It worked! It worked! I did it!

He successfully saw that he had gained an ability called Magnetic Field Mastery!

This ability allowed him to manipulate electromagnetic fields, but the power of this magnetic field was very small. He had to sense carefully before he could detect it.

With many things, having it meant having it, and not having it meant not having it. Going from zero to one was a qualitative change; going from zero to one hundred was a quantitative change.

Lin Xingyu calmed himself and refined all the over one hundred jin of magnetite in front of him one by one.

During this process, Lin Xingyu could clearly sense that the Magnetic Force on his body had strengthened somewhat.

As for the Federal Coins spent, they were not worth mentioning at all.

After refining all the over one hundred jin of magnetite in front of him, Lin Xingyu felt a sense of fullness.

A realization rose in Lin Xingyu's heart. The metal he had refined today had already reached its limit. It would be very difficult to improve any further.

He had to wait for some time and digest this force before he could continue refining.

As for how to digest this force, Lin Xingyu's train of thought was extremely clear. Whether meditation or the Blood Essence Martial Path, both could easily accelerate the refinement.

Looking at it this way, this ability was truly a perfect match for him.

From that day on, Lin Xingyu's daily lessons gained one more item: refining metals.

Time passed like a white colt flashing past a crack. Since Lin Xingyu had seen through the essence of the "Metallurgy Stone" Soul Skill, two and a half months passed in the blink of an eye.

For these two and a half months, Lin Xingyu immersed himself in cultivation every day. The mechanical repetition of steps and the unchanging environment made the days as bland as water. Yet each time Soul Power Circulation began, tiny breakthroughs and new insights quietly emerged, adding a different kind of pleasant surprise to the dull routine.

Doing the same thing at the same time every day naturally made cultivation monotonous; but each cultivation session and each day of learning allowed him to unearth new knowledge and techniques, filling Lin Xingyu with joy and making him feel that everything was fresh.

That morning, Lin Xingyu sensed his own state. He could clearly detect that soul power flowed through his meridians like a murmuring stream, steady and powerful. Every inch of muscle and every part of his bones carried a brimming sense of strength.
