Jalan Abadi ke Surga - Chapter 705 - The Second Flying Carpet

“Boom…”

Ou Yangming’s blazing Military Fire emerged from his palm. At last, armor that was suitable for a human was formed.

As compared to pieces of equipment for the Beasts, it was much easier to smith pieces of equipment for the Humans. Even if some Wish-fulfilling Clay were to be incorporated, the size ratios for the latter would be far from that of the former.

It was worth noting that Ou Yangming was much faster in smithing than ordinary blacksmiths. Throughout the few days, he had not only refined tens of interspatial bags for the Beast King Sect, but he had also smithed plenty of various pieces of equipment. At this point, Tian Yinghao finally understood why the higher-ups in the sect valued the young fellow so much.

Putting aside the flying carpet and the interspatial bags—even without these 2 types of special equipment, the fact that Ou Yangming could smith pieces of normal equipment so easily was enough to make any sect regard him with special respect.

When Ou Yangming put down the equipment, he heard Tian Yinghao sigh deeply.

He looked at the man and asked with a smile, “Brother Tian, instead of smithing and repairing pieces of equipment, won’t the elders in your sect dislike it if you always hang out with me here?”

As the date estimated by Yuqi the Venerable One was slowly approaching, although news about the Insect’s invasion had not been announced, there was an entirely different atmosphere in the sect. This was reasonable because panic was inevitable even if the Venerable One wanted to avoid it.

In this case, the gradual increase of the intensity was the best strategy.

When the atmosphere slowly tensed up, even the blacksmiths and alchemists from the Beast King Sect began to speed up in making war preparations. Pieces of equipment of different levels, as well as all sorts of spiritual pills, were produced and gathered for cultivators of multiple ranks in the sect.

Tian Yinghao’s level of attainment in smithing art could not be compared with that of Ou Yangming, but he was also one of the blacksmiths in the sect.

Theoretically, he should be smithing or repairing pieces of equipment under the supervision of the higher-ups. Who knew, the fellow ignored his duties and stayed at Ou Yangming’s place for a long time. Given how lazy he was, he would only be denounced by the other people.

Having said that, Tian Yinghao laughed and scratched his head. “Brother Ou, aren’t you asking the obvious? I’m staying here to better communicate with you. Look—didn’t I handle the pieces of equipment and interspatial bags that you refined during the past few days very quickly? I’ve also provided twice the number of spirit ores and materials that you need; you didn’t lack any of them, right? Hehe, if I hadn’t run everywhere for you, do you think that everything could’ve been done easily?”

Ou Yangming shook his head and sighed. “These small tasks can be done by even a normal person. It’s honestly too wasteful to have a blacksmith like you complete them instead.”

“It’s not wasteful, it’s not wasteful at all. Normal people know nothing about smithing art anyway, so your time might be wasted if they accidentally delivered wrong information,” Tian Yinghao quickly responded. He chuckled and asked, “Brother Ou, you’ve smithed many pieces of equipment recently. Can…”

Seeing how hesitant Tian Yinghao was, Ou Yangming uttered snappily, “Hmph, this is your real intention, isn’t it?”

Tian Yinghao waved his hand right away.” How could I? It’s just what you promised Sir Venerable One, so I’m only reminding you about it.”

Ou Yangming sighed. “Okay, the materials have been prepared, so I can start to refine it but…” He cast a playful look at Tian Yinghao.

Tian Yinghao was stunned for some time, but he soon came to a sudden realization and shouted, “I understand—I’ll leave now, I’ll leave now.” Without further ado, he got up and left the courtyard.

Special skills were adopted when certain pieces of unique equipment were smithed, and they were usually ultimate skills that made blacksmiths famous. Such skills were their lives, and they could not be pried by other people.

In the whole of Danzhou, Ou Yangming was the only one that could refine flying carpets.

Therefore, when he expressed that he was going to begin the refinement process, Tian Yinghao immediately left. Even though the man wanted very badly to spectate the process, he would not want this to affect his good relationship with the young fellow.

Ou Yangming smiled as he watched Tian Yinghao leave. In actuality, even if the man stayed to watch, he could not have perceived anything.

Flying carpets were a type of high-end equipment. Without the Heavenly Phoenix Fire and a spiritual world, it was not something that blacksmiths of Tian Yinghao’s level could come into contact with.

Nonetheless, Ou Yangming did not want to give the impression that he was too generous. Moreover, he was certain that if he let Tian Yinghao stay, Bai Zhiyi, Peng Yanbing, and the others would request to observe on the side on the next day.

As such, some things were best to be stopped at the start.

After assembling the required materials, Ou Yangming released his Military Fire to refine a flying carpet.

It was worth noting that the materials did not include furs of low-rank or middle-rank spirit beasts.

When Yuqi the Venerable One found out that Ou Yangming could refine a flying carpet, though its flying speed and outer appearance was far from his, he still ordered for a lot of furs from the depot to be sent to the young fellow.

Those furs were acquired from high-rank spirit beasts, and they were well-preserved.

Only an influential and profound sect like the Beast King Sect could send about 8 pieces of them over without batting an eyelid.

Needless to say, there were surely furs from top-grade spirit beasts from the depot, but even Yuqi the Venerable One could not bear to use them. Hence, before Ou Yangming managed to refine the second flying carpet, they would not be sent to him.

Ou Yangming lamented as he brushed his fingers gently across the fur of a high-rank spirit beast.

Indeed, a high-rank spirit beast’s fur was superior to that of a middle-rank spirit beast in terms of its feel, degree of relaxation, toughness, and natural communication with the universe’s power. When Ou Yangming tried to channel a bit of spiritual power into it, he could even vaguely sense the energy fluctuation inside.

Unquestionably, the effect would be much better if he refined a flying carpet with this material.

Ou Yangming had killed more than 1 high-rank spirit beast, but he never used the lizards’ skins.

At the very least, before Ghost-clawed Venerable One had forgotten about its disciples and their disciples, he would not use a lizard’s skin as a material.

Thus, the sheet of fur in his hand was the first high-rank spirit beast’s fur that he was going to use for a refinement process.

Ou Yangming closed his eyes and gathered numerous information in his spiritual world, then he began to derive a rune there. The same Flight Rune could definitely not appear on 2 different sheets of fur. This was because a Flight Rune was incredibly mysterious, and one could only be successfully derived by customizing a sheet of fur.

If Ou Yangming simply replicated the previous Flight Rune, even if he managed to succeed at the end, the end product’s quality would not be satisfying.

After all, it was impossible to find 2 identical sheets of fur.

The fact that Ou Yangming could refine a flying carpet was a miracle to everyone else. It would be the young fellow’s greatest test to normalize this miracle.

Ou Yangming’s mental power was quickly being consumed. The derivation of a rune for a flying carpet was undoubtedly the most mental-power-consuming thing.

Even so, Ou Yangming enjoyed the process very much, and he was completely engrossed in exploring and understanding the usage of a rune. Every skill and ability must be practiced to be perfected; only by familiarizing oneself with something could one be skillful in it.

This was exactly what Ou Yangming was doing at the moment. He tried his best to familiarize himself with the Flight Rune and kept modifying it to achieve a better effect.

Every time a change occurred in Ou Yangming’s spiritual world, he gained a new understanding of the Flight Rune. He had not fully grasped it but as he kept trying, he slowly understood its core content.

After an unknown period, when the flying carpet in his spiritual world floated successfully, he exhaled deeply.

When Ou Yangming opened his eyes and calculated the time, he realized that the time he spent on designing this time was more than 10 times lesser than before.

Ou Yangming might have more or less succeeded during the first time due to sheer dumb luck, but his second success was because he had learned his lesson and turned his experience into knowledge. As a result, the young fellow could design accurately according to different requests and avoided taking a longer way.

Subsequently, Ou Yangming retrieved the immortal liquid from his interspatial bag and consumed a few drops of it without any hesitation. The liquid turned into a warm current that assimilated into his body.

As he slowly recovered his energy, essence, and spirit, he started to feel better from the discomfort caused by the huge consumption of mental power.

Ou Yangming could not help but smile bitterly when he looked at the sheet of fur in his hands.

The refinement of pieces of flight equipment should indeed be the right of Venerable Blacksmiths because they were the only ones with a notable computational ability and understanding of flight.

While Ou Yangming could manage as well, it was only because he had rehearsed the processes in his spiritual world. Without the unique spiritual world, he might not even succeed once in the real world even if he practiced 10,000 times.

At the end of the day, no 2 sheets of fur were identical. Once he failed to design anything, he would be wasting the fur and have to start again.

Not to mention the Beast King Sect’s precious collection, even if the furs of all of Danzhou’s high-rank and middle-rank spirit beasts were given to him, he might not succeed at all.

That said, since Ou Yangming finished the design and succeeded during his practice, everything would turn out well.

Ou Yangming rested for an hour. Once the preparations were done, and his energy, essence, and spirit recovered to their peak conditions, he began to refine again.

This time, the refinement process was much more relaxed than the first time, and Ou Yangming was also more confident.

After Ou Yangming’s Military Fire enveloped the whole sheet of fur, a Flight Rune slowly surfaced accurately. As the number of runes increased, the fur naturally floated in mid-air as if it became weightless.

At last, when all of the runes were carved, special feathers floated and were stuck on the fur in an orderly manner.

When the last feather was successfully attached, as steady as Ou Yangming was, he could not help but beam.

The young fellow could finally tell everyone with his head high and chest out.

He could refine more flying carpets.
