Chapter 581 - A Half Step To White Silver



Chapter 581: A Half Step To White Silver

20!

Full 20 points of the Power attribute were adrift on the gauntlet just like that.

Moreover, an incredibly intense and mysterious luster could be seen on the 20-points value stated. It was not silver, but there was a vague sign of it leaning toward that level as though another push was all it would take for the equipment to become a legitimate piece of Silver Equipment.

Ou Yangming’s eyelids flickered hard, and he was experiencing an indescribable enthusiasm.

If it was possible, he was eager to try if he could smith a piece of so-called White Silver Equipment using ordinary Power Ores.

Nonetheless, he knew he must not do something like that in this setting. If not, only God would know if it would bring him good fortune or a disaster.

In the lower realm, given Ou Yangming’s cultivation base and capability, he would not have such concerns at all; in the Spiritual Realm, he still needed to keep a low profile to avoid attracting attention to himself. After all, nonconformity would be punished.

Ou Yangming gently put down the gauntlet and was reluctant to part with it as he looked at it one last time.

Even so, he did not arouse suspicions by doing that. Even Bai Zhiyi never imagined that his look of regret was because he did not further enhance the equipment.

The elder and the others thought that Ou Yangming was simply unwilling to hand the item to Fox Yi after having smithed something close to a piece of White Silver Equipment.

After reaching his hands out to accept the gauntlet, Bai Zhiyi studied it with bright eyes for a brief moment and released appraisal art. Once he was done, he slowly looked up and sighed at Ou Yangming. “Lil’ Ou, you surprised me once more.”

Ou Yangming grinned and expressed, “Senior, this is all thanks to your pointers; I couldn’t have achieved this without you.”

Smithing art was a knowledge where inheritance played an extremely important role. Ou Yangming might have grasped basic smithing art and many Layering Skills in a short time since he joined the Trading Meet.

However, it was because someone had taught him or had performed those skills in front of him without any reservations.

Without those inheritances, if he were to mull over them himself, he might not have figured out anything even until his death.

“I don’t deserve the praise.” Bai Zhiyi smiled bitterly and waved his hand. He thought to himself, ‘If everyone can grasp the Layering Skills by watching them once without being given any explanations, the world would’ve been in a disorder by now.

‘So this isn’t my fault at all; it’s because this young fella is too outrageous.’

He looked around with lightning eyes and finally fixed his gaze on the spirit fox, then he commented with a sigh, “What a bargain for you! This equipment is a half step to a piece of White Silver Equipment!”

“A half step to White Silver?” Fox Yi shrieked. It could not hide its excitement, and the foolish bear below the platform could not help but roar as well.

Ou Yangming was slightly stunned, but he immediately understood the term and smiled faintly.

A tool was regarded as a piece of Half-Silver Equipment once it had 11 points of a Unique Attribute. When the Unique Attribute arrived at 20 points, the equipment’s quality was increased to another level. Although the equipment would still be inferior to a piece of White Silver Equipment, it was a half step to White Silver.

When Fox Yi retrieved those materials, it only hoped for another piece of Half-Silver Equipment. Who knew, Ou Yangming gave it a much bigger surprise.

A half step to White Silver—the equipment turned out to be a half step to White Silver. This was unexpected for Bai Zhiyi and the others, and Fox Yi and the spirit bear were surprised yet overjoyed.

“Thanks for fulfilling my wish, Master Ou.” Fox Yi bowed deeply at Ou Yangming and noted sternly, “We had a goal when we joined the Trading Meet, and it has now been achieved, so we’ll be bidding our farewells now. Master Ou, if you pass by the Fox and Bear Territory in the future, no, if you need our services in the future, we’ll do our best as long as you call us.” Following that, it took the gauntlet and hopped on to the spirit bear’s shoulder.

The simple-minded bear nodded at Ou Yangming, then it turned and left.

These spirit beasts came from various boundaries on the 10,000 Beasts Ridge. Whenever the Trading Meet was held, those in need of something would come to join.

They would not leave in a hurry if they did not acquire anything satisfactory, but the situation would be entirely different if they obtained unexpected items, which was the case for Fox Yi and Bear Da at the moment. They immediately left the Trading Meet after receiving the pair of gauntlets because the pieces of equipment would truly belong to them after they returned to their territory safely.

“Master Ou, is it our turns now?”

The remaining spirit beasts flashed smiles and crowded toward Ou Yangming. They looked excited and covetous, making it difficult for Bai Zhiyi to find a way out of the embarrassment.

Ou Yangming’s face changed. He could understand why the spirit beasts acted like that, but he did not want to cause any trouble. After all, the young fellow was a human and had to return to his kind in the future; he could not stay on the 10,000 Beasts Ridge forever.

He cleared his throat loudly and stated, “I can only smith pieces of Good Grade Rank One equipment at most, which is far from Elder Bai. What’s the reason you’re not requesting his help?”

Many spirit beasts were dumbfounded. They looked at each other and thought, ‘That makes sense, but so what if a piece of equipment is at the peak of Good Grade? Can it be mentioned on equal terms with one that’s a half step to White Silver?’

As long as one was not a fool, one would be aware of the huge disparity between the 2 types of equipment.

Even the most ordinary White Silver Equipment of Good Grade Rank One was superior to a normal piece of equipment at the peak of Good Grade Rank Five.

As for one that was half a step to White Silver, its Unique Attribute had reached 20 points. Even if someone wanted to exchange a piece of higher-leveled equipment for it, one might not be willing to let it go.

Bai Zhiyi forced a smile and expressed, “Lil’ Ou, you gained their respect through real abilities, so it’s only right that they look for you.”

Ou Yangming shook his head and said, “Elder Bai, you’re a blacksmith too, so you should know how strenuous it is to smith something to a limit, right? Do you think I can smith a tool that’s half a step to White Silver in every situation?”

In actuality, Ou Yangming secretly added, ‘As long as I can smith a kind of equipment, regardless of the situation, I can always repeat the process and smith it again in the future.’

Despite that, he could only say it to himself because there would be a serious disturbance if he said it out loud, and he might not be able to bear it.

Bai Zhiyi responded after some thought, “Yes, that’s impossible.”

Ou Yangming sighed a brief of relief and continued, “If I’d like to smith a piece of equipment half a step to White Silver, I’ll consume plenty of energy and can’t guarantee a success every time. Hence, I won’t be able to smith pieces of equipment of such a level if I smith for the rest of you, or I won’t be able to satisfy your requests even if I die from exhaustion.”

Many spirit beasts exchanged glances and were very displeased.

‘Since you could smith a piece of equipment half a step to White Silver for Fox Yi, why can’t you smith for me?’ They could not accept the dissimilar treatments.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming and Bai Zhiyi spoke in reason. They could not force the young fellow to go all-out every time he smithed, thus they were helpless.

“Master Ou, how about... You smith pieces of Half-Silver Equipment for us!” One of the spirit beasts suggested weakly.

The eyes of many spirit beasts gleamed. The tools they would receive might not be half a step of White Silver, but they would be content if they were pieces of Half-Silver Equipment. After all, the latter also had the word “silver’ inside, and 11 points of a Unique Attribute could also improve their strengths significantly.

That said, Ou Yangming still shook his head and said, “It’ll cost me too much energy to smith pieces of Half-Silver Equipment too. Unless I only smith 5 of them a day, it won’t be possible.”

“5 are enough!” The eyes of the spirit beast at the front of the line lit up.

Nonetheless, as soon as it spoke, furious curses were heard behind it, hence its face change. Even though it was also a spirit beast, the ones behind it were not inferior to it at all. If it offended the others at this moment, it would be assassinated and encounter countless problems after it left.

Ou Yangming cleared his throat and announced, “If you really want me to smith pieces of equipment for you, I can only guarantee you magic tools of Good Grade Rank One. As for whether I’m able to layer a Unique Attribute, it’ll depend on my recovery situation.”

Right after he spoke, the number of spirit beasts in line was reduced by half.

At the end of the day, none of their materials grew on trees, and they put in a lot of effort to gather them. Since Ou Yangming made it clear, they naturally made the wisest choice.

Bai Zhiyi looked deeply at Ou Yangming. ‘Whether or not this young fella is saying the truth, at the very least, my reputation is protected today.’

If every spirit beast knew someone snatched his high platform, he would be ashamed.

“Everyone, I’ll continue to smith, and so will Lil’ Ou. If you don’t have a high request, please feel free to find him.” Subsequently, Bai Zhiyi turned around to say to his 3 juniors, “When we smith Good Grade magic tools, the most important part is picking the materials. Normally, the most suitable materials come from matching 6 or more types of materials.” As he spoke, he waved his hand and retrieved 6 kinds of peculiar stones. “Watch closely.”

The 3 blacksmiths responded to him, but they had strange expressions on their faces. In fact, one of them even looked at Ou Yangming repeatedly.

They knew very well that while Bai Zhiyi was verbally teaching them, in reality, he was making a demonstration for Ou Yangming. Elder Bai did not reveal the key points, so normal blacksmiths might not pick up anything even if they watched.

However, Ou Yangming was different because he was a freak that could immediately fathom and practice the Layering Skills after watching them.

The 3 blacksmiths thought, ‘Elder Bai, you’re going so far for him. Is it really worth it?’
