Chapter 573: Tremendous Power Spirit Ore

There was only a big path on the mountain peak’s main road, but winding trails could sometimes be seen on both sides.

Led by Fox Yi, Ou Yangming traveled to a tall building. He was rather surprised when he saw the building because he had only seen high platforms before this, where human blacksmiths and alchemists smithed pieces of equipment or refined pills for the spirit beasts around them. Over here, a tall building was seen.

Fox Yi chuckled and explained as though it noticed Ou Yangming’s bewilderment, “Master Ou, human blacksmiths that come here have different characters and likes, but most of them don’t like to show the specific operations of their spiritual fires when they smith pieces of equipment.”

Ou Yangming nodded because he knew this very well throughout his journey here. If he had not happened to meet Lin Feifeng, he would not have learned even the most basic smithing technique.

Nonetheless, Fox Yi suddenly switched the subject. “But there are always some exceptions.”

The young fellow was moved, and he looked at the spirit fox in shock. “Brother Fox, are you bringing me to meet them?”

Fox Yi squinted its eyes, but peculiar lights could be seen between its thin eye gaps. “Master Ou, you’re really smart.”

Ou Yangming stopped walking and asked slowly, “Brother Fox, why are you doing this for me? Do you have any requests?”

“I only gave you a little information, so how could I make requests?” The spirit fox immediately waved its hand. It grinned with narrowed eyes and added, “Once you’re done, if you feel like you gained something and are willing to consider our hard work, could you smith 2 pieces of equipment for us?”

The young fellow was at ease after he heard the fox, and he was relieved.

If Fox Yi merely acted as his guide without asking for anything in return, he would have been worried and dubious instead. Since they were taking what they needed, he had no concerns.

Ou Yangming smiled and responded, “If I really gained something, I won’t disappoint you, Brother Fox.”

As both parties were satisfied, they entered the tall building.

Sure enough, Ou Yangming noticed an extremely different atmosphere when he entered the building.

Normally, every blacksmith or alchemist was surrounded by spirit beasts. As for Ou Yangming and Lin Feifeng’s encounter, it was only an unforeseen event.

A high platform could also be seen at the center of the tall building, where an elder was smithing a piece of equipment. Even so, apart from over 10 spirit beasts, 3 humans were also present.

They fully focused on the high platform as they stared attentively at the elder’s fire. In terms of concentration, the spirit beasts around them were far from them.

Ou Yangming glanced and understood right away why they were so engrossed. It was because the elder did not conceal his fire, by which he simply displayed his smithing skills to the people in front of him.

The young fellow’s eyes lit up, and he felt lucky.

If he had not met Fox Yi, he was certain that he would not have stumbled upon this place.

Next, Ou Yangming became concentrated and did not care about anything else around him.

Fox Yi was not surprised; it had brought many human blacksmiths here in the previous years, and they had similar reactions. It seemed like the elder’s fire was the most wonderful thing in the world to the blacksmiths, so much so that nothing else could compare.

It was worth noting that the spirit fox had once observed the flames and attempted to learn.

Despite that, it quickly realized that perhaps the Beasts were really not meant to smith pieces of equipment or refine pills. No matter how it observed, the fire was just a fire to it. At most, the flames would change a bit.

In any case, it could not stare blankly at the fire for half a day.

On the other hand, judging from the human blacksmiths’ expressions, not to mention half a day, it was as if they could watch until the end of the world.

Ou Yangming’s eyes were bright. The fire’s changes might seem uninteresting, but it was only how amateurs felt. To him, every flicker seemed to have an incredibly deep implication behind it. This was a skill, one that he had never come across before.

It was not strange. Ou Yangming had learned many skills when he met Superior Blacksmiths with great abilities in the lower realm.

If they were born in the Spiritual Realm and kept learning here, perhaps they would not be inferior to the smithing masters here in the future. Having said that, they were born in the lower realm, after all. Not only did they have different resources, but they were also in touch with exceptionally different things. For instance, many techniques and rules adopted in the Spiritual Realm became unnecessary burdens in the lower realm.

Therefore, once Ou Yangming entered the Spiritual Realm as he had wished, he needed to learn too many things.

As Ou Yangming watched quietly, he could not help but feel eager to use his hands. He somehow had a strong feeling of wanting to instantly use what he had just learned.

The elder on the high platform was finally done smithing after half an hour. He exhaled deeply and put down the piece of equipment in his hands.

Other than him, a spirit horse was also on the platform. It kept staring at the equipment, but it dared not take it before the elder said it could.

The elder looked up and fixed his gaze on 3 of the people and said, “Come up here.” He suddenly spotted Ou Yangming through the corner of his eyes, and he uttered coldly, “You, come up here too.”

Ou Yangming was stunned at first but seeing how the 3 people went up to the platform without any hesitation, he followed suit.

“Take a look at it.” The elder pointed at the giant horseshoe that had just been smithed.

With that, Ou Yangming and the 3 people went forward one after another to inspect the equipment. The instant the young fellow’s Military Fire touched the horseshoe, his eyes gleamed.

[Item: Horse King’s Horseshoe]

[Equivalent Rank: Magic Tool, Good Grade, Rank Two]

[Attributes: Toughness +27, Durability 27]

[Wish-fulfilling Degree: 4]

The equipment’s attributes were pretty good. It was of Good Grade Rank Two, and its Wish-fulfilling Degree was 4.

In every aspect, the elder’s level of attainment in smithing art was much higher than that of Lin Feifeng.

“Now that you’ve all looked at it, what do you think?” The elder stroked his beard and asked.

The 3 people praised the elder and raised various questions about the materials, smithing technique, and so on. Upon hearing their questions, the elder answered them without any reservations.

Ou Yangming remembered the questions and answers well but it would be too much to say that he could understand them. After all, he knew too little about this topic and could not even form a system from what he had learned so far, hence he could only be an onlooker at the moment.

After the elder was done talking, he turned to look at Ou Yangming. He found it odd that the young fellow only listened without asking any questions, but he did not have other thoughts about it.

“This is only the most basic Good Grade magic tool. I’ll be layering a Unique Attribute on it now, so watch closely.” He retrieved the horseshoe again and took an item from the side.

Ou Yangming was sharp-eyed, thus he recognized at once that it was a power ore.

However, the power ore was rather different from the ones he saw in the lower realm. In particular, the light ring around the ore had a mysterious luster, which caused one to be dazzled.

The elder turned to ask the spirit horse, “This is a rare Tremendous Power Spirit Ore, whose value is 100 times more than that of ordinary power ores. Are you sure you want to use it?”

“Yes, I’m sure,” the spirit horse immediately answered.

“I can only do my best, and I can’t guarantee that I’ll succeed; you should understand,” the elder noted sternly.

“Yes, I understand.” The spirit horse gritted its teeth. Of course, it knew there was a certain failure rate if the treasure was used, but it did not have the right to choose. If it did not use it this time, it would not know how long it would have to wait to find another suitable human blacksmith.

Ou Yangming was moved. A Tremendous Power Spirit Ore was 100 times more valuable than a normal power ore.

He understood in an instant that the Tremendous Power Spirit Ore was probably an upgraded version of the power ore.

Once he entered the Spiritual Realm, he needed to have at least drawn 21 points of an ordinary attribute with his Military Fire for them to be reflected on magic tools.

This proved that every point of an attribute in a magic tool was 20 times greater than 1 point of an attribute in a common tool. If that was the case, would that not be the same case for Unique Attributes?

That said, Ou Yangming found it weird because he never encountered such situations in the lower realm. Could it be due to the difference between the world’s powers?

The elder nodded, then his spiritual fire boiled and enveloped the iron horseshoe and the Tremendous Power Spirit Ore. He had a remarkable reputation, by which none of the spirit beasts dared to disturb him when he was smithing. As for Ou Yangming and the human blacksmiths present, they observed with a lot of focus.

Although there were certain dissimilarities between the elder’s Layering Technique and the one learned by Ou Yangming, the young fellow was relieved after he witnessed it.

Equipment smithing involved too much knowledge, which was not what Ou Yangming could master through a comprehensive study of it at the moment. Nonetheless, the layering of Unique Attributes in the Spiritual Realm seemed to be akin to the smithing technique and theory used in the lower realm.

Needless to say, there were separations, but they were only on small points. After Ou Yangming observed and made some calculations in his head, he could understand almost everything.

“Watch closely. One must pay extra attention to equilibrium if one wants to successfully layer Unique Attributes.” The elder’s voice was heard.

Ou Yangming was shocked. ‘This elder really teaches everything he knows.’

As the elder further explained, not only did Ou Yangming understand better, but the 3 blacksmiths also nodded and watched while trying to fathom the technique according to their experiences. All in all, they looked excited.

The elder curbed his spiritual fire after half an hour. He was pleased as he looked at the iron horseshoe in his hands, and he said with a smile, “Take a look at it.”

Even though the spirit horse had been waiting impatiently, it dared not snatch the equipment if the elder did not give it to it.

The people that took the equipment nodded after they studied it. When Ou Yangming secretly appraised it with his Military Fire, as expected, there was a Power +1 attribute. Even so, the attribute’s color was quite different because it had a faint silver luster.
