Chapter 583: Upgrading A Treasure Ore

Ou Yangming was surprised yet overjoyed when he looked at the larger Power Ore. He had the urge to scream at the top of his lungs.

Before this, he had utilized his Military Fire’s unique power countless times to draw and upgrade attributes in pieces of equipment, but he never attempted it on ores. Nonetheless, the young fellow stumbled upon a new world when he made a sudden attempt.

Equipment smithing was what blacksmiths did. Even so, if one lacked strength but smithed a piece of superb equipment, it might not be a good thing.

Ou Yangming was not restricted in any way in the lower realm, but he was a newcomer in the Spiritual Realm, which had housed plenty of powerhouses. In fact, the spirit beasts one the 10,000 Beasts Ridge alone were enough to eliminate him 1,000 times.

It would not be a smart move to stand out here.

Therefore, Ou Yangming needed to consider carefully when he smithed pieces of equipment. He would have to think thrice if the equipment exceeded the estimated limit.

Nevertheless, if he did not produce a piece of equipment, but a precious raw material...

For instance, what about a Tremendous Power Treasure Ore?’

Although precious raw materials would still draw attention and cause numerous troubles, as compared to a legitimate piece of Half-Silver Equipment, a Tremendous Power Treasure Ore would not be so striking anymore.

With a flash of thought, Ou Yangming retrieved another Power Ore and tossed it into his Military Fire.

Sure enough, the Military Fire’s mysterious power was unbelievable; it melted the third Power Ore in no time.

Hence, Ou Yangming continued to add in Power Ores one after another, each one fused steadily with the previously formed ball with the Military Fire’s help. At last, a treasure ore somewhat twice the size of an ordinary Power Ore appeared on his hand.

The treasure ore emitted a faint light halo, which was the change due to forceful power being gathered.

When Ou Yangming carefully inspected it, he arrived at a conclusion that shocked him too.

This Power Ore had triggered a sudden change, but it did not change qualitatively. Having said that, it contained an enormous might due to the change.

Since the might had not met the requirement for a qualitative change, its nature was still a Power Ore. As time passed, the Power Ore would not be able to prevent the energies inside from overflowing, thus those that exceeded the limit would disperse into the Spiritual Realm bit by bit.

Perhaps after a year and a half, the Power Ore would decline into the most ordinary power with only 1 point of Power.

If another push was given to the treasure ore for it to change qualitatively, all of the powers inside would improve qualitatively, causing the ore to become a Tremendous Power Treasure Ore.

Once it became a Tremendous Power Treasure Ore, its energies would not decline anymore.

Ou Yangming took a deep breath and picked up the twenty-first Power Ore, then he gently tossed it into his Military Fire.

This was an attempt. It would be incredibly useful for Ou Yangming if he could succeed, so he was extremely cautious at the moment and dared be negligent at all.

When the twenty-first Power Ore entered the Military Fire and melted, the treasure ore inside the fire glowed right away.

Despite that, being covered by the Military Fire, apart from Ou Yangming, nobody else noticed the wonderful change.

Ou Yangming watched as the liquid transformed from the Power Ore seeped into the treasure ore little by little. Once the energy gushed into the treasure ore’s overall structure this time, there was indeed an evident change.

Even though Ou Yangming possessed great mental power, he could not pry its profound mystery. However, he could clearly sense that the overflowing energies from the treasure ore had slowly curbed; they caved in and surged toward the inside of the ore.

After just a brief moment, he no longer sensed any energy being released from the treasure ore in his hand.

Moreover, inside his Military Fire, the light halo on the treasure ore became more obvious and surged. When all of the Power Ores’ energies gushed inside, the agitated light halo finally formed a rather complete loop and turned into a brand new mineral.

Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up. He curbed his Military Fire.

The item on his hand was still the treasure ore from before, but its appearance and intrinsic properties had changed drastically.

“A Tremendous Power Treasure Ore...” Ou Yangming mumbled, and he curled his lips into a bright smile.

He looked at the greave—a Good Grade magic tool—beside him, but he forced himself to get rid of the idea of wanting to attach the ore’s attribute to it.

It would be fine if he smithed a Good Grade magic tool for the leopard, but if it became a piece of White Silver Equipment, Big Yellow would make so much noise that Heaven would be overturned.

In actuality, Ou Yangming still wanted to try if he could smith a piece of White Siler Equipment using ordinary Power Ores, but he gave up the thought after carefully thinking about it for some time.

Since he had succeeded in upgrading a treasure ore, he was confident about achieving that target. That said, it would be better for him to restrain himself a little on the 10,000 Beasts Ridge.

Ou Yangming got up and summoned the 3 spirit beasts.

He threw the greave to the Silver Ridge Giant Leopard and said, “This is yours; put it on.”

The Silver Ridge Giant Leopard was stunned at first, then it was ecstatic. It thanked Ou Yangming respectfully and put on the greave. While it was not given a full equipment set and a greave alone seemed nondescript, it did not mind.

Fat Antelope was envious when it looked at the Silver Ridge Giant Leopard. ‘Ah, that’s a Good Grade magic tool. It’s much better than my set of Common Grade magic tools.’

Big Yellow was the only one that looked indifferent because it was not bothered at all. ‘It’s just a piece of equipment, which is merely a tester smithed by Lil’ Ming. Once Lil’ Ming fully grasps what he learned, he’ll surely smith a better equipment set for me.’

It was worth noting that after years of getting along with each other, Big Yellow understood Ou Yangming quite comprehensively.

The Silver Ridge Giant Leopard wore the greave and moved around for some time. It was delighted at first, but it suddenly stopped and asked carefully, “Sir, can you... Add 1 point of Power attribute to it?”

Ou Yangming smiled faintly and asked the leopard in return, “Is that a condition for me?”

“Sir, you misunderstood me; I only want to serve you better, so I’m thinking how I should increase my strength!” The Silver Ridge quickly shook its head.

“Didn’t we agree that I’ll let you go once I return to the Humans’ boundary?” Ou Yangming grinned.

The Silver Ridge Giant Leopard immediately shook its head and responded, “Sir, that was only a joke. I’m willing to follow you forever, and I won’t go back on my word.”

It was previously unwilling to be subdued by Ou Yangming because it was not too confident in him. After witnessing the young fellow’s smithing abilities, there was a significant change in its thinking.

Given how formidable of a blacksmith Ou Yangming was, even the littlest resource from him would be enough for the leopard.

If Silver Ridge did not follow such a figure, it would be exceptionally difficult for it to find someone as influential to latch on anymore.

Ou Yangming pondered and sighed. “I have too many spirit beasts with me already, but since you followed me for some time, I won’t let you suffer any loss. Before you leave, I’ll smith an equipment set for you.”

The Silver Ridge Giant Leopard became sulky. Back then, it would have danced with joy if it was given a set of magic tools gratuitously.

Nonetheless, after witnessing Ou Yangming’s strength, it could not be satisfied by an equipment set anymore.

Following that, Ou Yangming packed his things and returned to the main path to continue upward.

The Silver Ridge Giant Leopard followed at the very back. It nudged Fat Antelope with its head and asked softly, “Fat Antelope, did sir really let you follow him?”

“Of course! Sir even smithed an equipment set for me!” Fat Antelope noted proudly. The pieces of equipment on its body clattered as it shook its body, making it look majestic. “I’m telling you—if we were to exchange blows now, you won’t be my match at all.”

“Throughout the countless exchanges of blows we had, when did you ever triumph over me?” The Silver Ridge Giant Leopard was dumbfounded, but it questioned with a smile.

Fat Antelope glared at it and asked it in return, “I never defeated you, but have you ever succeeded in making me stay?”

Silver Ridge was helpless. “Your Gravitational Force Suppression is a good helper for an escape, so I could never make you stay.”

“Hehe, it used to be a good helper for an escape, but not anymore,” Fat Antelope stated proudly, “Master Ou attached a skill to my helmet. When it combines with my Gravitational Force Suppression, the resulting power will surge. If I’d like to snatch the Silver Ridge Boundary from you now, I’ll likely be able to drive you away!”

“What? A piece of Skill Equipment?” The Silver Ridge Giant Leopard was stupefied. It suddenly recalled its fight against Ou Yangming and Big Yellow, and it could not help but look around.

Throughout its years of exchanging blows with Fat Antelope, though the antelope had always suffered beatings, they became very familiar with each other.

“Hey, what are you trying to do?”

“I’m just thinking—why is sir fond of you when my combat power is higher than yours?”

“Simple—it’s because of my fur!” Fat Antelope explained softly, “Master Ou probably likes to make something with my fur, so he made me stay.”

“Your... Fur?” The Silver Ridge Giant Leopard was startled for some time. It felt like its values were heavily impacted because it really could not understand how useful the antelope’s fur was for someone like Ou Yangming to be moved by it.

The spirit leopard gritted its teeth and raised another question, “Fat Antelope, you’re a spirit beast with status now, so do you need a protector?”

“I don’t!” Fat Antelope was disdainful. “I don’t want to be stuck with you all the time!”

“Hey, hey, Brother Antelope, we’ve been acquainted for so many years, so don’t be so merciless...” The Silver Ridge Giant Leopard quickly expressed, “You should know that I hid many good things in the Silver Ridge Boundary, some of which are spiritual herbs that you want. As long as you agree to let me be your protector, I’ll give all of them to you!”

“No!”

“Hey, let’s talk this out. If one kind of spiritual herb isn’t enough, how about I add in another type?”

“...”
