Chapter 767: Wealthy And Overbearing
A flying carpet flew in the sky and passed the endless mountain range very quickly to return to the Beast King Sect.
Numerous disciples from the sect looked up. Upon seeing the flying carpet, even though they were disciples from one of the Humans’ Nine Great Sects in Danzhou, they could not help but look envious.
Nonetheless, they also knew that they could see flying carpets in the sky above their sect from time to time because of a person’s contribution.
Before Ou Yangming displayed his ability to refine flying carpets, Yuqi the Venerable One was the only one in the Beast King Sect that possessed a flying carpet. Moreover, given his identity and abilities, he would rarely use flying carpets. As such, the item had almost become a legend, hence very few people had seen it.
Therefore, various birds were the most commonly seen things in the sky above the Beast King Sect. Among them, there were large birds that could transport people, and they were the most beautiful view in the sect.
Nevertheless, Ou Yangming emerged and broke away from the convention. After the fight against the Insects, the young fellow took out 20 flying carpets in one go. Although most of them were distributed to the top-grade Spiritualists that came to help, 3 of them remained in the Beast King Sect. Including the ones possessed by Mao Jianbi and Ou Yangming, the number of flying carpets in the sect was certainly one of a kind among all the other forces.
As such, it was no longer rare for the Beast King Sect’s disciples to see flying carpets in the sky.
Needless to say, flying carpets were also categorized into different levels. The one that was flying in the sky at the moment was definitely the most gorgeous and expensive one.
Such a flying carpet was naturally more eye-catching than ordinary ones.
When the flying carpet landed on a certain peak, it verified everyone’s guess; its owner was him indeed.
Before the flying carpet landed on the ground, some beings were already gathering below. In particular, there was Multi-armed King Kong. The formidable top-grade spirit beast waved all 8 of its large arms and released intense oppression.
Ou Yangming grinned. He naturally thought about the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One when he saw the king kong, and he thought, ‘Perhaps King Kong will one day be on par with the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One.’
The old macaque was also smiling with its eyes squinted at Multi-armed King Kong. It had such a loving look in its eyes as though it doted on the king kong more than the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One did.
Ou Yangming and the old macaque flashed to the ground. The former waved his hand to put the flying carpet away.
He greeted everyone around him and looked at Multi-armed King Kong’s enormous body again, then he said with a smile, “Elder Macaque, I’d like to ask you a favor.”
The old macaque was slightly stunned. It subconsciously asked, “What is it?”
“I’d like to smith a piece of equipment for King Kong,” Ou Yangming answered seriously. He paused for a while and looked at the old macaque with bright eyes before he continued, “The equipment’s extremely important to King Kong as it’ll affect its safety, so there mustn’t be any mistake.”
The old macaque’s eyes lit up. It immediately guessed what Ou Yangming meant.
In actuality, even if Ou Yangming did not bring this up, the macaque would surely do anything it could to urge him if there was a chance. Since the young fellow brought it up, it would not decline him.
It nodded and assured Ou Yangming. “Master Ou, don’t worry, you can leave this to me. If anyone dares to make any mistake...” Its eyes were filled with cold killing intent.
Ou Yangming smiled as he was pleased. He believed that the old macaque would not slack on this matter no matter what. In fact, it would supervise the process and would kill anyone that was not doing well.
“Master Ou, what materials do you need?” The old macaque glanced at Multi-armed King Kong and added, “As long as you tell me the quantities of the materials that are needed, I’ll get everything ready for you.”
If the equipment was for a normal person, the old macaque would prepare 2 sets of materials at most. However, given Multi-armed King Kong’s body type... The more the materials, the better. In any case, it was worth noting that they were in the Beast King Sect. Not to mention the old macaque was a Venerable One in the sect, even if it was for the sake of the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One, nobody in the sect would object to this.
Even if Ou Yangming needed materials that were more valuable, nobody would have a problem with that.
Despite that, Ou Yangming smiled and responded, “Elder Macaque, I only need you to prepare some ordinary materials.” He conveniently named several materials, which might be regarded as treasures in the lower realm but were entirely different in the Spiritual Realm.
The old macaque was not a blacksmith, but it had heard of those materials. It furrowed its eyebrows and looked at Ou Yangming in confusion as it asked carefully, “Master Ou, are these materials really enough?” It paused for a while before it continued, “Is the equipment that you’re going to refine... This?” It pointed at the sky.
Ou Yangming turned around to look at Multi-armed King Kong.
Upon sensing Ou Yangming looking at it, the king kong opened its mouth and flashed a simple smile as if it knew nothing.
The young fellow pretended to sigh and shook his head to scold the king kong, “Acting dumb? Watch how I’ll teach you a lesson in the future!”
He sounded fierce, but he did not actually take the matter to heart.
It was true that he did not want more people to know about the Thunderbolt-resistant Equipment, but Multi-armed King Kong and the old macaque clearly had an unordinary relationship. Furthermore, ever since he entered the Spiritual Realm, he encountered the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One, which even came from afar to go against Blood Shadow for him.
Whether it was due to reason or compassion, he would not blame Multi-armed King Kong for leaking the secret.
Of course, this was also because he knew the old macaque and the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One were not big mouths, or the king kong would not have anyhow revealed the secret.
The old macaque tensed up a little. It smiled apologetically and explained, “Master Ou, don’t blame it; I forced it to tell me.”
Wu Yuanwei and Hong Feiyu were taken aback. The old macaque was a Venerable One, after all, but it was somewhat fawning over Ou Yangming at the moment, thus they were in disbelief.
As potent as Ou Yangming was, he could not have such an identity and status.
The 2 powerhouses looked at each other and felt something special—Ou Yangming had gone far away, where they could not catch up to him anymore.
“Ah, Elder Macaque, don’t misunderstand me,” Ou Yangming quickly said, “I wasn’t going to blame King Kong.”
The old macaque looked deeply at Ou Yangming and finally sighed a breath of relief when it sensed his sincerity.
It was only afraid that Ou Yangming would hold back when he smithed the Thunderbolt-resistant Suit, which might cause the king kong to be killed.
The old macaque smiled embarrassedly and changed the topic at once. “Master Ou, if you only need these materials, I can order someone to carry them here now.” It added after some thought, “You can have as many of these materials as you want. If there aren’t enough inventories in the sect, I’ll definitely transfer more here within a month.”
Seeing how proud the macaque looked, Ou Yangming could not help but thought, ‘The Beast King Sect is wealthy and overbearing indeed.’
The materials might not be precious, but it was clear from the king kong’s size that a significant amount of them would be consumed. Even so, based on what the old macaque said, the materials seemed to be stones that could be found anywhere. Influential sects like the Beast King Sect were probably the only ones with such a foundation and could be so bold.
Ou Yangming pondered seriously and noted, “The refinement of this equipment is a serious matter, so I’ll consider again to see how the equipment’s power can be unleashed to the maximum.”
“Of course.” The old macaque nodded without any hesitation.
The more Ou Yangming treated the matter seriously, the happier the old macaque was.
It naturally understood that the thunderbolt-resistant method created by Ou Yangming was unprecedented in the Spiritual World. There were successful cases in the lower realm, but nobody could guarantee that it would be the same in the Spiritual Realm.
Besides, Multi-armed King Kong’s body was humongous. Before there was concrete practice, nobody could guarantee anything.
This was why the old macaque felt that it was reasonable no matter how cautious Ou Yangming was.
The old macaque nodded at Ou Yangming, then it left in a hurry. It could not wait any longer, hence it left to prepare the materials.
Ou Yangming’s concept was one thing, but it was similarly important to put it into practice. Once the young fellow was provided with sufficient materials, he could attempt as many times as he wanted.
As for the time that would be wasted, from a Venerable One’s perspective, the old macaque would be fine even if all of the materials were consumed.
Ou Yangming turned around and greeted his old friends around him. Multi-armed King Kong had done its best to control its emotion, but it occasionally looked surprised yet overjoyed. It was evident that it was very interested in the equipment promised by the young fellow.
Having said that, Ou Yangming did not stay here for too long. After comforting everyone, he hurried toward the Alchemy Hall with the Phoenix Fire Bamboo’s sections.
When Gu Jiacheng heard that Ou Yangming was coming, he instantly put his affairs aside and went to welcome the young fellow.
Once Ou Yangming retrieved the 2 sections of the Phoenix Fire Bamboo, Gu Jiacheng stared at them.
He knew Ou Yangming was going to breed more branches from the Phoenix Fire Bamboo, but it was done so fast that he was flustered.
‘Is the Heavenly Phoenix Fire really so magical? Does it not take time to grow branches from the Phoenix Fire Bamboo?’
He naturally could not figure out that a Wutong Tree, which had lived several 10,000 years, was quietly helping Ou Yangming in the sect realm. If not, the young fellow would need to spend at least 3 months to exchange to obtain the 2 sections.
Since the branches were here, Gu Jiacheng dared not delay the matter. He announced that he was going to isolate in cultivation, and he worked together with Ou Yangming to refine Eternal Pills with the Phoenix Fire Bamboo’s branches.
Perhaps this was their second time refining the pills, where they had become familiar with the process, the 2 branches of the Phoenix Fire Bamboo yielded 5 Eternal Pills.
Gu Jiacheng pondered for a while and only took one as his reward. Ou Yangming was pleased with how sensible he was.
At the end of the day, the indispensable element in the refinement process was not Gu Jiacheng, but Ou Yangming and his Heavenly Phoenix Fire.
After packing up everything, Ou Yangming fixed his gaze on the peak that he was most familiar with.
Perhaps he would be spending his time there for a period.
