Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 587: A Modest Display Of His Ability

Mount Liang Wolf King stared at the Tremendous Power Treasure Ore in Ou Yangming’s hand and remarked as it was surprised, “You’re quite capable to have such a treasure ore with you.”

“I was just lucky.” Ou Yangming grinned, but he said to himself, ‘Isn’t this just a Tremendous Power Treasure Ore? I can make however many you want.’

Indeed, Power Ores were not rare in the Spiritual Realm; even Fox Yi—a middle-grade spirit beast—could anyhow present a bag of them. Since 21 Power Ores could be used to form a Tremendous Power Treasure Ore in Ou Yangming’s Military Fire, did it not mean that he could make however many he wanted?

Mount Liang Wolf King was astonished, and it wondered, ‘Is there really something odd about this young human fella? Can he actually smith a piece of equipment of that level?’

Nonetheless, it was only a fleeting thought as the spirit wolf got rid of it right away.

Spirit beasts naturally had unordinary visions, hence they could roughly tell at one glance what Ou Yangming’s real age was.

Needless to say, if Ou Yangming’s cultivation base was much higher than that of these spirit beasts, they might not be able to perceive the truth.

Therefore, since Mount Liang Wolf King could tell Ou Yangming’s age, even when such a thought crossed its mind, it got rid of it without any hesitation.

One Ou Yangming prepared everything, he pondered for a brief moment then looked at the spirit wolf in front of him.

If he were to smith a piece of equipment, even with the Wish-fulfilling Clay’s wonderful effect, he still needed a model.

Taking the previous equipment as an example, although it was remarkable, given its size, it could only be used by gigantic spirit beasts. If it ended up with Mount Liang Wolf King instead, it would be a useless tool.

Ou Yangming could also smith massive pieces of equipment but since none of the spirit beasts were willing to pay for him, of course, he had to save the cost. In any case, there were tens of high-rank spirit beasts here, and over 10 of them had builds similar to the wolf king. As long as the young fellow smithed a piece of good equipment, he would not be afraid of not being able to find a buyer.

Even if it would be unsold in the end, Ou Yangming could retrieve his loss to the greatest extent through his unique ability, thus he was not worried at all.

As he shook his wrist, the Military Fire was released. The powerful fire scorched and sucked the 6 materials, as well as the Wish-fulfilling Clay.

Ou Yangming had not smithed many Good Grade magic tools, but he had smithed over 1,000 magic tools long ago. As such, even though he had not learned to smith Good Grade magic tools for a long time, there were no issues when he adopted the corresponding technique.

Once extra bits and pieces from the materials fell out from the Military Fire, the materials quickly melted inside and took form.

Of course, Ou Yangming employed a special technique to conceal his Military Fire throughout his smithing process.

Consequently, his Military Fire seemed to others like a flame that flickered intensely, such that nothing could be spotted.

While there were no human blacksmiths present, Ou Yangming dared not be negligent, so he carefully controlled the smithing process at an acceptable standard for normal people.

After half an hour, Ou Yangming’s Military Fire slowly stabilized. This meant that the equipment inside the fire had taken its basic form.

Ou Yangming curled his lips into a faint smile at the moment because he was already aware of the outcome—the equipment was a magic tool of Good Grade Rank Three. It was a rank lower than Good Grade Rank Four, but he did not intend to make up for the shortcoming.

Given his age and experience, it would be quite astounding for him to smith a similar piece of equipment, so why should he be fastidious by wanting to match the previous equipment’s rank or surpass it?

The young fellow curbed his thought and waved his hand to draw the Tremendous Power Treasure Ore.

It was then when Mount Liang Wolf King shouted abruptly, “Be careful—don’t waste it!”

Ou Yangming’s fire flickered a little. Behind him, Big Yellow glared furiously at the spirit wolf.

Mount Liang Wolf King smiled embarrassedly and explained itself, “Young human fella, I’m only worried that you’ll waste the rare treasure ore. Ah, how about you sell it to me? I’ll offer you 200 spirit ores!”

The other high-rank spirit beasts looked at it in shock because 200 spirit ores were plenty for any of them.

A Tremendous Power Treasure Ore was precious but even if it was sold in an auction, after deducting the fee, 200 spirit ores were a reasonable price.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming rolled his eyes and responded snappily, “Thanks for your good intention but that’s not necessary!”

With that, he shook his hand and tossed the Tremendous Power Treasure Ore into his Military Fire.

“Ah…”

Almost at the same time, several long sighs of pity were heard.

Including Mount Liang Wolf King, none of the spirit beasts were optimistic about Ou Yangming. From their perspectives, the treasure ore would be wasted for sure.

In actuality, this was also Ou Yangming’s first time attaching a Unique Attribute to a piece of equipment using the Tremendous Power Treasure Ore. Without being guided at all, nobody could guarantee his success.

Having said that, fortunately, Ou Yangming had witnessed Bai Zhiyi’s technique before this. The technique was incredibly profound and mysterious, but its nature did not deviate from the ordinary Attachment Technique.

Burned by the blazing Military Fire, the Tremendous Power Treasure Ore melted very quickly and began to attach to the equipment.

There were no mishaps during the process as Ou Yangming controlled everything perfectly. However, an unusual change occurred the moment a drop of the treasure ore’s melted liquid touched the equipment.

Perhaps it was not an unusual change, but an equilibrium power.

If Ou Yangming wanted to perfectly unleash the Unique Attribute’s effect, he must faultlessly incorporate the treasure ore’s power into the equipment. It meant that there must be complete incorporation, such that there was no gap in the merge between them.

Every inch on the equipment must carry the treasure ore’s energies, and there must be a balance.

The higher the treasure ore’s equivalent rank, the more flawless the balance must be.

Despite that, a piece of equipment was not flat, to begin with; one’s surface would rise and fall, and different parts had dissimilar thicknesses. On the other hand, a treasure ore and a Power Ore were distinctive because the energies contained by them were Heaven and Earth apart, thus it would be more than tens of times tougher to control the former.

Even if Bai Zhiyi, who had countless attachment experiences, was present, he dared not guarantee that he could successfully smith a piece of White Silver equipment every time he attached a treasure ore.

At this point, Ou Yangming finally sensed how difficult it would be to smith a piece of White Silver Equipment.

The armor seemed to have innate suction and tension; some parts of it were absorbing the treasure ore’s power while some parts were repelling it. The various peculiar changes were endless, and it gave Ou Yangming a splitting technique.

It turned out that attaching a White-Silver-level treasure ore was much more difficult than attaching a Power Ore.

No wonder Bai Zhiyi told his juniors that only one that could layer more than 10 ordinary Power Ores were qualified to leave the Attachment Technique for White-Silver-level treasure ores.

Even so, after having a personal experience, Ou Yangming felt that Bai Zhiyi’s words were too irresponsible.

‘What do you mean by layering to the tenth level? Those without the experience of layering to the fifteenth level and above shouldn’t enter this field at all!’

If someone else was in Ou Yangming’s shoes at the moment, one would likely collapse already. That said, Ou Yangming was different. Seeing as the attachment was about to fail, he gritted his teeth and immediately used his cheat code.

‘Drawable composition found, draw?’

‘What a pointless question. Of course, I’ll draw it. If I don’t, I’ll really mess up the smithing process this time.’

In an instant, 1 point of White-Silver-level Power attribute was drawn by a purple light, and it floated in Ou Yangming’s sea of consciousness.

‘Upgradable composition found, upgrade?’

‘Upgrade!’

The purple light flickered intensely, the resulting activity was 100 times more extreme than when Ou Yangming layered Power Ores.

Nonetheless, since Ou Yangming had concealed his sir, other people could only see severe fluctuations in the fire. As for what exactly was changing inside, nobody could tell.

Luckily, there were no human Advanced Blacksmiths around, or they would definitely suspect that the equipment had become worthless if they noticed his fire’s fluctuation range.

The Military Fire’s mystery had never disappointed Ou Yangming—not even this time. When the fire stopped dancing, the 1 point of White-Silver-level power had successfully been attached to the armor.

Ou Yangming sighed a breath of relief and thought, ‘I underestimated smithing art too much.’

In spite of that, after this experience, he believed that he would surely succeed if he were to attach a Tremendous Power Treasure Ore again.

The young fellow shook his head and curbed his drifting thoughts, then he began to carve a rune on the equipment.

This time, instead of a Rudimentary Rune, he would carve a legitimate Intermediate Rune. The latter was far more profound than the former, where its rune paths were 100 times more complicated. With a slight mistake, his previous efforts could easily go to waste.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming had achieved the states of the integration of Heaven and man, as well as the thoroughly meticulous. Through his eyes, the armor seemed to have been enlarged several times, allowing him to have a more relaxed and simpler carving process.

The smithing of the equipment, the attachment of the Tremendous Power Treasure Ore, and the carving of a rune.

None of the processes were easy, but the carving of a rune seemed to be the simplest step for Ou Yangming.

Perhaps because the young fellow was born to cultivate mental power and possessed the wonderful Military Fire’s unique ability, he could extract Skill Runes from any abilities. Furthermore, once the runes were formed in his sea of consciousness, he would never forget them as if they were forever imprinted on his heart.

This was also similar to cheating but in terms of the effect, it was unbelievably good.

Ou Yangming had almost forcibly replicated the Intermediate Indestructible Defense’s rune in his sea of consciousness on the armor, causing the armor to shine.
