Chapter 611: Smithing A Poisonous Saber

Ou Yangming exhaled deeply. He could sense that his body had been tempered. In particular, the essential Qi in his dantian had all been converted into spiritual power.

From then on, even without using his mental power, his body alone had already reached a Spiritualist’s standard.

Forceful spiritual power kept gushing in his meridians, and it felt extremely different as compared to before. If his essential Qi was similar to a small stream, what he experienced at the moment was a torrential stream in a big river.

A violent aura exploded from Ou Yangming’s body. It was a power that burst out when one first became a Spiritualist.

Nonetheless, as soon as the power was released, it was completely curbed by Ou Yangming in less than a breath’s time.

Bai Zhiyi, who was a distance away, was surprised. He looked at Ou Yangming in shock as he could not figure out how the young fellow managed to do it.

A Spiritualist—be it a bodybuilder or a caster—that had just advanced would not be able to control his or her aura perfectly. Theoretically, their auras would be unstable for a certain period, so they would only be able to curb their auras freely after they stabilized their boundary.

In the lower realm, when powerhouses at the peak of Yang Grade became Supreme Great Ancestors, they already needed to do that. This was why there would naturally be a stronger effect when they advance from Supreme Great Ancestors into Spiritualists.

However, Ou Yangming could curb his aura instantly and controlled it perfectly, hence Bai Zhiyi regarded him with special respect.

Ou Yangming opened his eyes and smiled apologetically. “Elder Bai, I’m sorry, I delayed some time again.”

Bai Zhiyi’s face twitched, and he smiled bitterly. “Young fella, if you do this a few more times, I’ll die from shock.”

The young fellow scratched his head and immediately responded, “I guarantee you that it won’t happen again, so don’t worry.”

“If you can do the same thing again now, I’ll really be floored.” Bai Zhiyi scoffed.

The more profound one’s cultivation base, the harder it would be to upgrade. Based on Ou Yangming’s standard at the moment, it would truly be unbelievable if he could advance again in a short period.

Ou Yangming smiled embarrassedly and said, “Elder Bai, let’s talk business.”

Bai Zhiyi humphed and replied to him, “Alright, at least you have the conscience to focus on what’s important. I’ve told you what I know about the secret technique, so what are your thoughts?” He looked at Ou Yanging with bright eyes as though he wanted to spot something from the young fellow.

He was very curious about the reason Ou Yanging changed drastically after listening to his descriptions.

Sure enough, an instant comprehension could only be discovered but not sought.

Ou Yangming pondered seriously and answered, “Elder Bai, your words were precious, and they inspired me very much.”

Bai Zhiyi thought, ‘You don’t say. If you weren’t inspired, how could you have entered a state of instant comprehension?’

“I have an idea on how the equipment can be smithed, but I need some time to derive how it can function,” Ou Yangming added seriously.

“Oh, you have an idea already?” Bai Zhiyi’s eyelids flickered as he questioned.

“Yes.” Ou Yangming nodded, then he lowered his head and closed his eyes as he entered his sea of consciousness with his mental conception once more.

His sea of consciousness had undergone a tremendous change, by which his mental power and Military Fire had become one. As such, he could control them as he wished without being obstructed at all.

With a flash of thought, several types of ores appeared in his sea of consciousness. They appeared so abruptly as if they already belonged there.

A spiritual world—inside Ou Yangming’s sea of consciousness, a spiritual world similar to that of the little red bird had been constructed.

In actuality, Ou Yangming’s mental power was remarkable, but it was still far from being able to construct a legitimate spiritual world. Even when he could employ the Simulated Spiritual First in the lower realm to help cultivators at the peak of Yang Grade to advance to Extreme Grade, it was merely a superficial function of his mental power; he still had a long way to go before he could turn virtual into reality as he would be in a real spiritual world.

Nevertheless, after his Military Fire and mental power fused and caused a wonderful change, he naturally grasped this skill.

Needless to say, he could only construct a spiritual world in his sea of consciousness at the moment. If he released his mental power outside, the effect would be vastly different.

The several ores automatically melted and bound together into a treasure saber that fit Poisonous Saber Gentleman’s request. The saber’s model was rather odd; it must be used with unique martial arts to be able to unleash its full potential.

Even so, Ou Yangming was not concerned about this. Flames sparked on the saber as rune paths appeared on it.

The rune paths were intertwined. Based on Ou Yangming’s understanding, there were 2 different Skill Runes, but they were compatible with the concept of the Beast King Sect’s merged cultivation to achieve a subtle equilibrium.

Of course, the concept might make sense, but it would be tough to produce the expected effects.

“Pow…”

When the runes were halfway being carved on the treasure saber, the saber finally exploded as it could not withstand the impact from the 2 powers.

Despite that, Ou Yangming did not give up. Another treasure saber appeared in his sea of consciousness and burned once more.

It was an attempt for Ou Yangming, and it was effective. Every failure was an experience for him as he could learn many things. Once he accumulated those experiences, there would be a qualitative change.

With that, treasure sabers either fractured or were ruined one after another. Even when they could withstand the process until the end, they were useless and became scrap metals.

Having said that, as treasure sabers were being tempered, Ou Yangming curled his lips into a faint smile.

This was because he finally found the key after trying multiple times.

After smithing for uncountable times, when the fire disappeared this time, a treasure saber with a poisonous pearl appeared in front of Ou Yangming. 2 dissimilar Skill Runes were engraved on them, but they were not separated as they were entangled with each other.

Even though they were inseparable, their real powers were distinctive and would not violate each other.

Ou Yangming had only successfully smithed in his spiritual world, but he had a strong feeling that he had succeeded.

This was because the spiritual world was the same as that of the little red bird; it was connected with the world’s origin power as though it borrowed the power’s appraisal art. As long as he succeeded in the spiritual world, he could perfectly replicate the process in the real world.

Eventually, Ou Yangming opened his eyes and saw the anxious Bai Zhiyi.

The elder sighed a breath of relief and quickly comforted him. “Lil’ Ou, you’re too impatient; how can this be figured out so easily. Hehe, don’t worry, as long as you successfully smith it within 3 years, I guarantee that nobody will say a thing about it.” He then slapped his forehead and smiled bitterly. “Ah, I’m so silly. I’m the one that accepted the task, so why did I push it to you instead?”

Ou Yangming grinned and said, “Elder Bai, you did me a big favor, so it’s my honor to do something for you.”

Indeed, Ou Yangming achieved mastery because of the knowledge given by Bai Zhiyi, and he underwent a thorough change. The elder might not be aware of his kindness, but the young fellow remembered it well.

Bai Zhiyi laughed and waved his hand. “Lil’ Ou, don’t work with your mind too much. Once I go back, I’ll look for my old friend that knows about poison-series Skill Runes and discuss how the treasure saber can be smithed. Hehe, this is a challenge, but we’ll benefit greatly if it’s completed.”

Ou Yangming was stunned. It turned out that Elder Bai did not have confidence in him.

It was not strange because Ou Yangming was already a freak for being able to achieve what he could at such a young age. If he could also overcome the difficulty of attaching a Dual Skill Rune and in a short period, nobody would believe it.

He looked around and noticed the materials left by Poisonous Saber Gentleman on the ground.

The most important ones were not the minerals, but the 3 unknown poisonous pills.

Ou Yangming went forward and picked up an appropriate amount of minerals, then he looked at the pills.

Bai Zhiyi’s face changed, and he immediately noted, “Lil’ Ou, those are poisonous pills. They’ve been refined, but they’re still incredibly poisonous, so you mustn’t touch them carelessly.”

“Okay.” Ou Yangming nodded.

Before his voice died away, a scorching fire appeared in his hand. At this point, the fire was no longer the Military Fire; perhaps it would be more suitable to call it the Natal True Fire.

Bai Zhiyi widened his eyes and forced a smile. As soon as he saw the fire, he knew what the young fellow was planning to do.

He wanted to reprimand Ou Yangming but on second thought, it was only a set of materials. The poisonous pills could not be found easily, but the rest of the materials were not much to him. Since the young fellow was interested, the elder decided to let him play with the materials.

In actual fact, Bai Zhiyi did not realize that while he liked to bring up the younger generation, he normally would not allow this to happen.

However, he had unknowingly made many exceptions for Ou Yangming.

Ou Yangming had a grave look on his face, and his eyes were dazzling. He recalled the successful smithing method in his spiritual world, then he repeated the process at this time.

The minerals melted bit by bit and formed a treasure saber. Subsequently, he waved his hand to draw one of the poisonous pills on the ground and tossed it to the saber’s end. Next, the peculiar Skill Runes with mysterious lusters slowly appeared on the weapon.
