Lin Feifeng was slightly stunned and embarra.s.sed. He smiled bitterly and replied to Ou Yangming, “Brother Ou, you're overpraising me. It's my first time joining the Trading Meet held by the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One. Ah, I outdid myself by smithing a magic tool of Common Grade Rank Three; normally, I can only smith

Although he was losing himself to shame, he was being frank.

Ou Yangming chuckled. “Brother Ling, you're being too humble. I've never smithed any magic tool above Common Grade Rank Two.”

He was saying the truth. Even though he had grasped the ability to get past the barrier, he could only increase the attribute values to 21 points no matter how hard he tried in the lower realm. If the young fellow wanted to go further, the barrier's resistance would increase by 100 times, where he might not succeed even if he were to give all he had.

Besides, Ou Yangming no longer fussed over this after he got used to the 21-points value; when he entered the Spiritual Realm and smithed pieces of equipment for Fat Antelope, he controlled the values at 21 points too out of habit. Needless to say, the young fellow made this choice because it was his first time meeting the antelope and he did not know how important its fur was back then. If he were to smith another equipment set for it, perhaps he would find ways to improve the equipment set's equivalent rank.

“Brother Ou, those that are capable of smithing magic tools are invited by the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One. Don't worry, if worst comes to worst, you'll just have to smith a few more times, and I'm sure you'll break through.” Lin Feifeng laughed. His eyes gleamed as he added softly, “Coming here can be a bit distressing, but we'll gain a lot too. Not only will we become more skilled at smithing, but we'll also receive valuable rewards.”

Ou Yangming was moved. The Beasts needed pieces of equipment and pills from the Humans, but were the minerals and herbs produced by the 10,000 Beasts Ridge not what the Humans required too?

The Trading Meet could be maintained because of the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One, but the real reason was each of the parties taking what they needed.

Lin Feifeng clapped his hands and suggested, “Brother Ou, I've already smithed 3 pieces of equipment in a row, so how about you try now?”

Ou Yangming was hesitant for a while, but he soon nodded and said, “Okay, I'll try too.”

When he observed Lin Feifeng's smithing earlier, though he did not watch the entire process, he gained something too.

The Spiritual Realm's smithing technique seemed to be a little different from that in the lower realm, but there was not too much of a difference in terms of their natures. The only thing was that some techniques and skills used in the upper realm were much simpler, hence Ou Yangming found it rather strange.

There were definitely other blacksmiths in this place, but it would be very difficult to find another good talker such as Lin Feifeng.

Ou Yangming glanced at the spirit beasts below the high platform and asked, “Which one of you mountain lords would like to give this a go?”

The spirit beasts that initially surrounded the platform kept quiet. Ou Yangming and Lin Feifeng did not converse with each other loudly, but the beasts heard them well. Since the former never smithed magic tools about Rank Two, it meant that he was inferior to the latter in terms of smithing art.

If that was the case, the spirit beasts would rather wait for Lin Feifeng than letting Ou Yangming interfere.

Nonetheless, the spirit tiger that followed Ou Yangming here shouted with bright eyes, “Master Ou, I'm willing to try!”

As such, the spirit beasts that kept Fat Antelope and its companions outside reluctantly opened up a path.

The spirit tiger hurried up to the high platform then swung its shoulder to drop the big baggage on its back on the casting table.

“Thus…”

Judging from how heavy the sound was, the bag must be carrying heavy items.

Ou Yangming looked at the spirit tiger in shock and asked, “Your Excellency, how should I address you?”

The spirit beast immediately answered, “I'm Tiger Ji, the mountain lord of North Ji. Master Ou, if you come to North Ji in the future, I'll surely serve you well.”

Ou Yangming nodded, but he turned a deaf ear to what he was told. After all, he did not know where North Ji was and would not make a special trip to that place.

He questioned as he glanced at the bag, “Your Excellency, do you not have an interspatial bag?”

Tiger Ji shook its head and answered, “Interspatial bags are extremely precious; I'm not lucky enough to get my hands on one of them.”

'Are interspatial bags so valuable?' Ou Yangming was surprised. When he saw Fat Antelope retrieve an interspatial bag, he thought it was already a standard for Spiritualist-level powerhouses, but it seemed like that was not the case.

This was because many spirit beasts below the high platform carried one or several large bags.

As for the beasts that carried nothing at all, they were unquestionably envied by the rest. According to the proportion, very few spirit beasts possessed interspatial bags.

Ou Yangming's eyes flickered as a thought crossed his mind, 'If I stay in the Beasts' boundary, even if I only refine interspatial bags, the supply won't meet the demand.'

He shook his head and forced himself to get rid of the tempting idea, then he asked, “Mountain Lord Tiger Ji, what equipment would you like?”

Tiger Ji widened its mouth and laughed before it replied to him, “I'd like an armor too, but if you could also smith a helmet, that'll be great!”

“Wow, you're quite demanding.” Lin Feifeng chuckled and said, “Brother Ou, open up its bag and see if it prepared sufficient materials and gifts.”

Ou Yangming gently brushed his hand across the bag to open it, then he poured out the minerals and items inside. At a glance, he could see that most of the items were various rare minerals, whereas a smaller portion was some herbs. Nevertheless, the fact that Tiger Ji put the minerals and herbs together showed that the herbs were not too valuable.

After taking a glance, Ou Yangming recognized a few ores. He had seen them once from Fat Antelope, but one of them was what he stumbled upon in the lower realm. Apart from them, he did not know the origins of 3 strange minerals.

Despite that, Lin Feifeng curled his lips and remarked, “That's all? They're too ordinary!”

“These are the minerals that I've collected throughout these years. Please forgive me, master.” Tiger Ji smiled apologetically and expressed after a pause, “Ah, if the materials and rewards for the helmet aren't enough, I'll only need an armor.”

During a fight between Spiritualist-level powerhouses, if one had a magic armor, it would almost be equivalent to having an extra life. Therefore, Tiger Ji sounded quite humble at the moment and completely curbed its wildness.

Lin Feifeng furrowed his eyebrows and proposed, “Brother Ou, how about you listen to the other mountain lords' requests and see what materials and gifts they've prepared?”

Tiger Ji's face changed, and it could not help but feel somewhat mad. Even so, it dared not be impolite and only looked regretful and upset.

Given what Lin Feifeng commented, it meant that he was not satisfied with the rewards offered. Unless Tiger Ji raised its chips, he would not smith anything for it.

Who knew, Ou Yangming grinned and expressed, “It's my first time here, so I shouldn't reject any business opportunity.” He waved his hand and asked, “Tiger Ji, is this the size that you need?”

Lin Feifeng shook his head with a smile. He was non-committal toward Ou Yangming's act of lowering his value.

Having said that, he did not know that Ou Yangming could tell at one glance that the materials prepared by Tiger Ji were more than enough; at most, about a third of the materials would only be used to smith an armor and a helmet.

Perhaps the loss ratio was not worth it for other blacksmiths in the Spiritual Realm, but Ou Yangming, who had just come from the lower realm, was content.

After all, he never came across 3 of the peculiar stones provided, thus he was going to study them for some time no matter what.

Tiger Ji's eyes lit up, and it answered, “Master Ou, if it's possible, this is my real size!”

As it inhaled deeply, its muscles instantly expanded. In just a short while, its body increased by around 30% in size.

The spirit beasts below the high platform were in an uproar. The curbing or releasing art was not rare among the Beasts, but creatures that had gained wisdom knew that the bigger one's build, the more the materials needed for one's pieces of equipment.

It was clear to them that the materials prepared by Tiger Ji were not enough, or Lin Feifeng would not have made such a comment.

Now that the spirit tiger's body became much larger, was it not posing a difficult question to Ou Yangming?

“You!” Lin Feifeng's face changed, and he was slightly furious. “Brother Ou, I think you should forget it!”

However, Ou Yangming smiled and said, “There's no harm trying.”

With that, he picked up the 3 materials unknown to him, then the Military FIre flickered in his hand as he probed their properties.

“Brother Ou, it's not a good choice to use these 3 materials to smith an armor.” Lin Feifeng was shocked. He picked 2 other types of material from the pile and noted, “The Black-yellow Steel isn't suitable for an armor, but if you give it up for these 2 materials, it'll be a great choice.”

Ou Yangming nodded with a smile. Instead of stubbornly clinging to his opinion, he accepted the 2 materials.

There was naturally a ratio for matching materials in the Spiritual Realm, but Ou Yangming had not learned it before. In actuality, he could not have learned it in the lower realm anyway because he could not have found various peculiar stones to carry out experiments.

On the other hand, the situation in the Spiritual Realm was entirely different.

Different rare stones in the lower realm seemed to be ordinary items in the upper realm; any Spiritualist could easily gather a big pile of them.

Were there other places more wonderful than the Spiritual Realm for blacksmiths?

Ou Yangming shook his wrist and released his mighty Military Fire, but it only enveloped 2 of the ores. As for the other 2 materials recommended by Lin Feifeng, they were not wrapped by the fire.

Lin Feifeng was dumbfounded. 'What does this mean? Does Ou Yangming not trust me?'

That said, the displeased look on his face soon changed because he was stupefied, where his eyes widened so much that his eyeb.a.l.l.s were about to pop out.

The reflection of the scorching fire could be seen in his eyes.

Amidst the flame, the 2 peculiar stones had somehow softened and melted, by which they could be kneaded already.

Lin Feifeng twitched his mouth and thought, 'What spiritual fire is that? How can it melt peculiar stones non-distinctively in an instant?'
