Immortal Path To Heaven Chapter 591

Mount Liang Wolf King swung its neck and answered seriously, “1,300 spirit ores. What do you think?”

Ou Yangming was deep in his thoughts. He still remembered well the compet.i.tion for the equipment on the crystal wall before this.

In the end, the successful bid made by the spirit elephant was 1,800 spirit ores. It seemed like a much higher offer than that made by Mount Liang Wolf King, but the armor was smithed according to the size of gigantic spirit beasts. Apart from using a Tremendous Power Treasure Ore, Ou Yangming's consumption was far less than that armor in terms of materials or the energy needed to carve a rune.

Therefore, the price offered by the spirit wolf was relatively fair.

This was also evident from how resentful the other similar-sized high-rank spirit beasts looked.

Ou Yangming nodded and looked deeply at the spirit wolf. “Wolf King, you're very considerate.”

Mount Liang Wolf King flashed a big smile and laughed cheerfully.

After putting on the equipment earlier, it did not want to remove it anymore. Nonetheless, unless it was really tired of leaving, it would not act so abominably.

Ou Yangming signaled Big Yellow with his eyes. The big yellow dog was reluctant, but it still moved its leg aside and kicked the armor to Mount Liang Wolf King.

The wolf king's eyes lit up. It carefully picked up the equipment and wore it right away. As compared to Big Yellow, which casually kicked the armor, it regarded the equipment as a precious treasure.

Mount Liang Wolf King turned several rounds then retrieved an interspatial bag when it was content. “Master Ou, I'll give you your spirit ores.”

Ou Yangming retrieved an interspatial bag too and transferred the agreed number of spirit ores over.

He had seen a spirit ore in the lower realm, and he was rather envious and curious about the enormous power that it contained. Even so, spirit ores were scarce in the lower realm and could basically be ignored. It was only when he entered the Spiritual Realm he realized that there were so many spirit ores that they could be used as a currency.

Having said that, those that could use this currency were not ordinary people but real elites.

After counting the spirit ores, Ou Yangming wondered and uttered, “Wolf King.”

Mount Liang Wolf King responded immediately, “Master Ou, what do you need?”

When Ou Yangming first entered this place, the spirit wolf had simply addressed him as a young human fellow, but its att.i.tude now changed drastically.

Ou Yangming grinned and asked, “Wolf King, do you want an exclusive piece of equipment?”

“Exclusive?” Mount Liang Wolf King's eyes lit up right away. “You can smith customized pieces of equipment?”

“Why not?” Seeing how surprised it was, Ou Yangming could not help but ask. He was moved when he thought about the odd auction mode held by the blacksmiths beyond the crystal wall, and he was secretly wary. 'Are there taboos when one smiths personalized pieces of equipment for spirit beasts?'

Mount Liang Wolf King blinked its glimmering eyes and replied to him, “Master Ou, to us, exclusive pieces of equipment need to have more than just ordinary attributes.” It waved its sharp claws and added, “We need booster skills that can increase our combat powers.”

Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows and came to a sudden realization.

It would be brilliant if low-rank spirit beasts acquire magic tools, but when spirit beasts upgraded to the high rank, they no longer yearned for ordinary magic tools; they needed at least mini top-grade tools.

As for dedicated pieces of equipment, the spirit beasts had higher requests—even for the skills.

Even though there were plenty of human blacksmiths, other than Ou Yangming, who was a freak that possessed the Military Fire, it would be difficult to grasp runes.

A smithing master might have smithing art attainments for a century but certainly did not master many runes. Since high-rank spirit beasts also required all sorts of weird skills, none of the blacksmiths dared to guarantee that they could carve suitable Skill Runes.

This was why powerful blacksmiths would rather smith quietly and do their best to carve popular Skill Runes on pieces of equipment, which would then be competed for by the high-rank spirit beasts.

Ou Yangming could tell from Mount Liang Wolf King's highly-spirited eyes that the high-rank spirit beasts hoped for tailored pieces of equipment, but they were left with no choice as they were powerless in this. As such, they could only quietly wait for the displays on the crystal wall and bid for pieces of equipment that would fit them.

However, the difficulties were not an issue for Ou Yangming at all.

“Wolf King, are you willing to try?” Ou Yangming asked while he smiled with his eyes narrowed.

Mount Liang Wolf King answered without any hesitation, “As long as you're willing to, what else can I say, Master Ou?”

The other high-rank spirit beasts cast envious looks at the spirit wolf. After all, blacksmiths that were willing to customize pieces of equipment for high-rank spirit beasts were getting lesser and lesser. If they could meet one, they would be willing to pay any price.

Ou Yangming nodded and said, “Come with me.”

He turned around and walked down the mountain. Although he could not climb to the top yet, he was not stopped if he wanted to walk downwards.

Mount Liang Wolf King turned around and looked proudly at the spirit beasts around it before it followed the young fellow happily. As for Big Yellow, it shook its body and followed them in high spirits.

Many high-rank spirit beasts exchanged glances. They naturally knew Ou Yangming left because he did not want to be disturbed, hence none of them were ignorant to want to follow him. Despite that, they quickly made some calculations in their heads. If the smithing process for Mount Liang Wolf King failed, nothing more could be said, but if it was a success, the young fellow would be admired but all of them.

Ou Yangming brought Mount Liang Wolf King to a secluded area.

All of the high-rank spirit beasts on this peak were gathered together, thus it was easy to find a quiet place instead.

The young fellow turned around and asked the wolf king, “What's the innate ability that you're adept in?”

Mount Liang Wolf King widened its mouth and answered with a bitter smile after a moment of hesitation, “I have 2 greatest natural gifts; one's the Illusion Body Technique, one's the Waterfall Attack.”

If someone else had asked, the spirit wolf would definitely be alert or would find an opportunity to get rid of that person. Since Ou Yangming had asked, it could only answer honestly.

Ou Yangming nodded and reached out his arm and placed it on Wolf King's body. “Perform them and let me take a look at them.

Mount Liang Wolf King blinked. He could not help but make guesses when he recalled Ou Yangming's actions earlier but even so, it did not object to the request at all.

This was because it valued the equipment more than Ou Yangming did, so it did not mind displaying its unique innate abilities for the equipment.

With that, Mount Liang Wolf King's body quivered, and it instantly became illusory.

Ou Yangming's face changed a little. He was touching Wolf King, but he felt like he was touching air at the moment. Quickly after, the spirit wolf's body split into 2, 4, 8…

When Ou Yangming looked, he felt like 8 wolf kings were surrounding him.

He released his mental conception to an extremity but could not distinguish the real wolf king.

The Illusion Body Technique—it turned out that this was the legitimate Illusion Body Technique. Other than the one using the technique, n.o.body could tell the real and the fakes apart.

Ou Yangming closed his eyes. The Military Fire in his sea of consciousness burned and began to absorb and probe the changes in the aura around him. Soon enough, an empty room surfaced in the deepest part of his sea of consciousness.

Perhaps because Mount Liang Wolf King was a high-rank spirit beast, or perhaps the rune was related to interspatial power, the Illusion Body Technique's rune seemed to be much more potent than that of Fat Antelope's Gravitational Force suppression.

When Ou Yangming first experienced it, he did not get a handle on it at all.

Nevertheless, he did not give up. He focused and became highly-spirited and full of energy instead.

This was similar to when a climbing expert faced a tall mountain. It would be full of difficulties, but the climber would become more thrilled and eager to conquer it.

After a brief moment, Mount Liang Wolf King's 8 illusions became one. It was as though it was quite tiring for it to perform the gifted skill, but Ou Yangming would not sympathize with it at all at this moment.

“One more time!” Ou Yangming uttered coldly, and he was somewhat ordering the spirit wolf.

Mount Liang Wolf King was stupefied. 'How dare someone speak to me in this tone? What more, a human whose cultivation base is lower than mine.

'Even Master Gao wasn't this impolite when he charged out from behind the crystal wall.'

That said, Mount Liang Wolf King was not angry but delighted. 'Did Master Ou really attain the Skill Rune for the Illusion Clone?'

It shook its body without any hesitation and did not hesitate to perform its unique innate ability again.

8 illusions appeared again. Though there were no other movements, the ability was quite astounding.

“Again!”

“One more time!”

“Again…”

Ou Yangming's voice was repeatedly heard. In the beginning, Mount Liang Wolf King was still excited but after performing the ability 10 times in a row, the l.u.s.ter on its fur became much dimmer, and its limbs began to s.h.i.+ver.

In spite of that, Ou Yangming's eyes became brighter, and he looked fiercer. At the same time, a joyful smile could be seen on his face.

“Woosh…”

The 8 figures suddenly became one. Mount Liang Wolf King stood firmly and panted heavily while it gazed at Ou Yangming resentfully. At this point, it had gone all-out and was depleted of all energy.

It had made up its mind. If Ou Yangming asked it to perform its gifted skill once more, it would lay on the floor first.

Who knew, Ou Yangming did not say a word this time. He closed his eyes while his lips moved quietly. After a long time, the young fellow finally smiled gladly.

Upon seeing his smile, Mount Liang Wolf King was 100 times happier than him.

Ou Yangming opened his eyes and asked, “Your Illusion Body Technique is pretty good indeed. What about the Waterfall Attack?”

“What?”

“Your Waterfall Attack. Release it 10 to 20 times first!”

Mount Liang Wolf King was struck dumb. After some time, its body stiffened and fell backward, where it collapsed to the ground hard and caused dust and soil to fill the air.

Ou Yangming frowned and commented, “How useless! Aren't you a high-rank spirit beast? You're a fake one, aren't you?”

Mount Liang Wolf King. “…”
