642 Activate the Thunder Catalys

Ding!

[Congratulations! You have snatched a Red Envelope from Taiyin True Deity. You have acquired a piece of Soul Consuming Enigmatic Jade. It has been stored in your treasure chest!] 

Chen Xiaobei: I have received your Red Envelope! Thank you, my brother!

Taiyin True Deity: Brother, you are most welcome! I'm going to end the conversation here. The delicacy that you just send to me looks really yummy! It's time to taste it!

Chen Xiaobei: Alright! Enjoy! Talk soon!

Keeping his cell phone, Chen Xiaobei finished the food on his table. He then looked for a spot with no people and take out his transport from his treasure chest. Stepping on the Somersault Cloud, Chen Xiaobei flew back to Bei Xuan Faction. After all, the Somersault Cloud was definitely more convenient than driving a car. The cloud had many benefits: lightning speed movement, zero wait time in traffic, and needless worrying about others tailing him. 

Within two minutes, Chen Xiaobei finally reached Bei Xuan Faction. Though it was middle of the night, he did not plan to waste any time. Immediately, he drank a bottle of Hundred Herbs Potion to rejuvenate his strength.

"Let's take a look at the Red Envelope that I snatched today."

Sitting in the room that he trained his cultivation, Chen Xiaobei opened his treasure chest. Monkey Furs of Prosperity and outdated Divine Soldier's armor could be skipped since Chen Xiaobei already knew their function.

Ding!

[Thousand Webs Bracelet: A One-Star Spiritual Item crafted by Spider Demon. It requires a hundred-year Dao Path to use it! (If one doesn't have Dao Path, the person can spend Spiritual Qi to use the item). Your mind can command this item to shoot out a spider web that is as strong as steel! Do you wish to withdraw it?]

"Damn! With this bracelet, I can become Spiderman!"

He could not help but imagine that he could fly around the city with the spider web that shot out from the bracelet like Spiderman. Killing the Green Goblin would bring a group of beautiful ladies to him.

"Back to serious business. It's strange that it requires Spiritual Qi to power up this item! Xiao Tianquan once told me that low-tier Magical Item like this does not require Dao Path to use it. Dao Path is only required for Spiritual Items."

"However, the green jade gourd is a Spiritual Item as well. It doesn't consume any… Hold on! The green jade gourd is filled with Spiritual Qi. I think it does consume a certain amount of Spiritual Qi when I use it! It's just that I didn't realize it!"

"I have to train harder if I want to become more powerful! All things can only be acquired through hard work! Let me test the item now!"

Immediately, Chen Xiaobei took out the Thousand Webs Bracelet from his treasure chest. It was a silver bracelet. The whole thing looked like it was formed by hundreds of thousands of webs but its toughness was surprisingly hard and sturdy. A black image of a spider was imprinted in the middle of the bracelet – making it looked really cool. 

"Let me charge myself up with Spiritual Qi. I want to know how much Spiritual Qi it would consume per usage."

Chen Xiaobei then put on the bracelet and drank a mouthful of Spiritual Qi from the greed jade gourd. Soon, his Dantian was completely filled. After building a spiritual link with the bracelet, Chen Xiaobei knew how to use the bracelet.

*Whoosh*

Turning his wrist the same way Spiderman does, Chen Xiaobei shot out a string of spider web on the wall with this bracelet. One could see that the spider web was very sticky and strong. In order to test its strength, Chen Xiaobei pulled it as hard as possible. Still, nothing happened to it. Judging from its strength, the wall would fall first before the spider web broke. Its strength could be compared with the web produced by Spiderman.

Speaking of which, Spiderman's web was an end product of genetic mutation. It was only a mortal item. On the other hand, the web that produced by the Thousand Webs Bracelet was an end item that was more powerful than a Magical Item! There was no way that mortal item could be compared with it! 

*Shupp*

Controlling with his mind, the spider web went back inside his bracelet. After paying attention to the changes of his Dantian, Chen Xiaobei thought, "The consumption of Spiritual Qi for this item was still okay. I think I can use it for three minutes non-stop with the amount of Spiritual Qi that I consumed earlier! Judging from its toughness and stickiness, I believe that it can turn into a weapon. I can surprise my enemies with it and turn the tide around during a life-threatening circumstance."

After that, Chen Xiaobei proceeded to check on the next Red Envelope.

Ding!

[Pure Yang Thunder Catalyst: It is a catalyst formed by pure Yang thunder between the sky and earth. It is a Nine-Stars Spiritual Item! It can be turned into a usable Spiritual Item! (Five hundred Dao Path or Five Thousand Spirit Stones are required to activate it!) Do you wish to withdraw it?]

"Damn! Five hundred Dao Path? Five thousand Spirit Stones?!"

Chen Xiaobei was taken aback. He was clueless about the value of five hundred Dao. However, he was familiar with the cost of five thousand Spirit Stones. During the last auction that he went to with Luo Puti, a Spirit Stone was being auctioned and the starting bid was one billion!

What that being said, five thousand Spirit Stones cost around five trillion! That was an astronomical amount of money! There was no way that Chen Xiaobei could come up with such a ridiculous amount of money!

"Actually, a Spirit Stone is just a stone that stores Spiritual Qi! All I need to do is let the catalyst consume the Spiritual Qi from my green jade gourd! That would do!"

After putting some thought into it, Chen Xiaobei took out the Pure Yang Thunder Catalyst from his treasure chest. The catalyst was as small as a chicken egg. A cloud of lightning was sealed inside the stone. From the surface, Chen Xiaobei could see that the cloud of lightning was rumbling about inside the stone but he could not feel anything from it.

"According to the message from the system, the lightning inside the catalyst is a Yang attribute lightning essence! It will be released once I activate it – becoming a material to create something bigger!

"I still remember that the Golden Eyes Divine Lion Fur was just a Three-Stars Spiritual Item. After using it to enhance my Maliang Divine Pen, the result was fantastic! Considering that this lightning essence is categorized as a Nine-Stars Spiritual Item, I think it would not disappoint me! It is certainly worth investing Spiritual Qi on it!" 

Immediately, Chen Xiaobei did what he thought was right. With one hand on the catalyst, he poured the Spiritual Qi from the gourd on it with the other. Like a black hole, it kept on devouring tons of Spiritual Qi. A mouthful of Spiritual Qi allowed Chen Xiaobei to train for twenty-four hours. Right now, a dozen days' worth of training was pouring into the catalyst each second! Soon, almost one-third of Spiritual Qi inside the green jade gourd was gone. He thought that all that Spiritual Qi was wasted, but felt excited thinking about making a Spiritual Item that was more powerful than Maliang Divine Pen. Clearly, he believed this investment would eventually make him gain something valuable!

"Wahahaha…" 

Suddenly, a crack started to form on the catalyst – like a thunder snake coming out from its shell.

*Poof*

The lightning essence was released when the catalyst cracked open. It circled around Chen Xiaobei's palm – as if it was a live being.

*Buzz*

It made a crackling sound from time to time but did no harm to Chen Xiaobei. Like any other animal, Chen Xiaobei as the first thing it saw became its parent. Immediately, the Thunder Snake form a spiritual link with Chen Xiaobei. Not only would it not hurt Chen Xiaobei, but also allowed Chen Xiaobei to control it with his mind.

"So magical! Next, I need to turn it into a powerful Spiritual Item!"
