Chapter 1145: Taoist Tool
Ou Yangming stayed on the Hidden Dragon Island for half a month.
During this period, other than a few short breaks, he spent almost the whole time smithing magic weapons. Almost 300 magic weapons were made by him.
The line was still long. It did not seem like there were fewer people, and even more people came from far away.
Ou Yangming could not bear such high-intensity work. After smithing the second Fine Grade magic weapon, he planned to end this journey.
The Long Feather Band was full of interspatial bags with countless refining materials inside. At least, they were more than enough to refine a magic weapon for himself.
“I’m sorry, everyone. I know there are still many people who haven’t had their turn, but I’m really powerless,” Ou Yangming stood up and said to the people below.
“Master Ou, are you leaving?”
Seeing Ou Yangming stand up with a tired look on his face, many people seemed disappointed.
“Master Ou, you’ve been very amazing. Which blacksmith can continuously smith for half a month?”
After hearing someone’s reminder, the people in the line came back to their senses. Master Ou had continuously smithed for half a month.
“Time passed too quickly. I didn’t even notice it. In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.”
“No wonder Master Ou’s so tired. He has tried his best this time. Master’s health is more important. We can’t continue to make things difficult for him.”
“These days, Master Ou has probably smithed hundreds of magic weapons above Good Grade.”
Gasps of amazement could be heard from below. Smithing hundreds of magic weapons in a row could already be considered a miracle. After all, Master Ou was also a human and not a god.
Those who had not had their turn were somewhat disappointed, but they had no choice. It was their fault for not seizing the opportunity in the beginning.
After Ou Yangming left, he returned to the 10,000 Dragons Valley through the Teleportation Formation on the same day.
This time around, Ou Yangming noticed that many of the Dragons’ members were looking at him differently. He did not know that his feat on the Hidden Dragons Island had spread here.
The Hidden Dragons Island was not far from the 10,000 Dragons Valley. How could they not know about such a huge commotion?
“You’re finally back.”
Outside the Teleportation Formation, Ou Yangming saw Long Hai with his arms crossed in front of his chest.
Only then did Ou Yangming remember that he was going to have a duel with Long Hai but because he did not take Long Hai seriously, he almost forgot about it.
Ou Yangming looked at the genius of the Dragons and asked, “Are you here for the duel?”
Long Hai’s eyes were filled with surprise. He glanced at Ou Yangming and said, “I didn’t expect you to be a blacksmith master.”
“It seems that you’ve heard of my fame.” Ou Yangming smiled.
“So what if you’re a blacksmith master? I won’t show mercy on the colosseum. I advise you to take good care of your body in the next 2 days. We’ll be fighting the day after tomorrow. I hope you won’t be so scared that you’d wet your pants.” Long Hai was still full of pride.
Meeting Long Hai was just a small interlude. Ou Yangming first returned the token to Great Elder Long Shao, then he returned to his residence.
After half a month of continuous smithing, Ou Yangming’s spiritual power was exhausted. At this moment, he only wanted to have a good day of rest.
Ou Yangming did not go out for an entire day. By the second day, his spiritual power had recovered by more than half.
From the Long Feather Bands, he took out the materials that he had obtained from the island. Most of these materials were precious. If they were to be sold on the island, they would be sold for at least thousands of high-grade spirit coins.
Among them, there were many that belonged to the great clans. Each person had prepared 5 sets of precious materials for him on the island. After Ou Yangming used a set for each person, there were still 4 sets left.
All of those became Ou Yangming’s little treasury.
From the many materials, Ou Yangming chose the most precious ones. He planned to use his time to smith a weapon that truly belonged to him.
Ou Yangming did not need a substitute for the Blood Spear Dragon Slayer. What he needed was a weapon that surpassed the Dragon Slayer and could truly stay with him forever.
After preparing the materials, Ou Yangming locked the door and left the words “Authorized personnel only” outside.
He could not be distracted while smithing the magic weapon. This time, he was smithing a high-level magic weapon, so he must be fully focused.
The purple fire danced in the air like a ghost. At this time, Ou Yangming had an idea. The Earth’s Demolition Cauldron that was hidden in his body flew out.
This thing was a legendary innate treasure. Its function was to have a strong bonus effect during equipment smithing and pill refinement.
Ou Yangming had never used it before, so he was prepared to take this opportunity to try it out.
The Earth’s Demolition Cauldron came out of Ou Yangming’s body and slowly grew bigger under his control. He put the materials into it.
After entering the cauldron, the incomparably tough ores seemed to have become much softer.
Ou Yangming found that using the cauldron to smith could save more than half of his strength. This discovery gave him an unexpected surprise.
The flames surged, and a scorching aura spread out. Ou Yangming carefully controlled the flames to prevent the room from burning.
After a few hours, a silver long spear was faintly formed. The spearhead and the handle were made of different ores, but the spear looked natural and flawless.
The fire was still burning. After half a day, Ou Yangming extinguished the flames. Only then did the temperature on the long spear subside slightly.
Taking the long spear out from the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron, Ou Yangming felt that there was a palpitating feeling on the spear. Black and white patterns criss-crossed on the spearhead.
Without appraising it, Ou Yangming had a premonition that this weapon was numerous levels higher than the Blood Spear Dragon Slayer.
Ou Yangming withdrew the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron. Just as he was about to appraise the spear, his expression suddenly changed, and he raised his head to look at the sky.
“This is…”
How could a Thunderbolt Disaster appear?
Ou Yangming hurriedly opened the door and walked out. At this moment…
“Rumble…”
A loud explosion sounded.
The house behind Ou Yangming was razed to the ground by the explosion. He quickly put on his Thunderbolt-resistant Suit.
Next, the second and third thunderbolts followed.
Ou Yangming used the Thunderbolt-resistant Suit to withstand the 2 bolts of lightning. At this moment, his body was numb, and he felt a warm feeling.
A white light flashed on the long spear, and it looked sharper than before. Purple light flickered on it, and it seemed to have a powerful life force.
The 10,000 Dragons Valley was the headquarters of the Dragons, and the sudden thunderbolts caused chaos.
Giant dragons flew out from where they lived, and the advanced dragons in human form also flew into the sky, trying to find out what was going on.
“That’s where Ou Yangming lives!”
Someone quickly found the direction where the thunderbolts were targeting.
“What the hell is that young fella doing? He just came back yesterday. Why did he attract thunderbolts today?”
“I heard that Ou Yangming’s a blacksmith master.”
The dragons who had been in seclusion for a long time were a little surprised. “That fella’s a blacksmith master? Then the thunderbolts…”
This guess immediately shocked everyone.
After a while, a large group of dragon powerhouses appeared above Ou Yangming’s courtyard. Their eyes were fixed on Ou Yangming.
“Seniors, I’m really sorry. I don’t know what happened, but thunderbolts suddenly came.” Ou Yangming was a little embarrassed. After all, he had destroyed someone else’s house.
Nonetheless, those dragon powerhouses were staring at the long spear in Ou Yangming’s hand. Their breathing was a little hurried.
“That thing is…”
“Could it be an Acquired Taoist Tool!” Someone exclaimed.
Only when an Acquired Taoist Tool was successfully made would the Thunderbolt Disaster be attracted. Even so, in the Great Wide World, there were almost no blacksmiths who could smith one. Even if such a tool existed, it must come from a supreme expert who was hiding in seclusion.
Hearing the discussions in the sky, Ou Yangming was slightly shocked. He hurriedly used Appraisal Art.
Unfortunately, the Appraisal Art had no effect on the long spear.
Acquired Taoist Tools had spirits. They were not dead objects, so it was impossible to use conventional methods to appraise them.
Ou Yangming had not come into contact with such a treasure before, so he did not know about this. Nevertheless, the inability to appraise the spear proved the problem. This meant that the long spear was not a magic weapon, so it could only be an Acquired Toaist Tool.
“I actually smithed an Acquired Toaist Tool!”
A look of ecstasy flashed across Ou Yangming’s face but when he thought of the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron, the excitement on his face gradually disappeared.
Ou Yangming knew this was mainly due to the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron. According to his calculation, the spear would have been at most a Fine Grade magic weapon.
“Did you smith this?”
Long Shao reluctantly looked away from the long spear. He had also used Appraisal Art just now, but it was of no use.
“Great Elder Long Shao, I smithed this long spear just now,” Ou Yangming responded in a deep voice.
Long Xiao was asking the obvious. It was obvious that the long spear had just been smithed and since it was beside Ou Yangming, it must be smithed by him.
‘No wonder our ancestor wanted us to protect this young fella. He’s a supreme smithing grandmaster!
‘If the Dragons are favored by this grandmaster, would we still lack magic weapons in the future?’
A black shadow flashed across the sky.
Upon seeing this person, everyone became cautious and bowed one after another.
The person who came was the dragon emperor. He was still wearing a long black robe. He glanced at Ou Yangming with a fiery gaze and said, “Lil’ Friend Ou, when a Taoist Tool has a spirit, the sooner it recognizes a master, the better. You’d better hurry up and let it acknowledge you as its master.”
Ou Yangming put away the long spear and took out a dagger to cut his hand. Blood dripped on the spear. This method was taught to him by Du Xie. A treasure that was beyond a magic weapon could only recognize its master through one’s blood.
After a moment, the silver long spear had a vague connection with Ou Yangming.
The attributes of the long spear appeared in Ou Yangming’s mind.
