Immortal Path To Heaven Chapter 684

Flying carpets were a type of flight equipment that could fly in the sky.

This type of equipment was also separated into different qualities. The finest ones could fly much faster than Venerable Ones, whereas the poorer ones could not be mentioned on equal terms at all. Nonetheless, the poorest flying carpets were pieces of flight equipment, where countless people would go crazy over them even if they were a gimmick.

Needless to say, what Ou Yangming needed to consider at the moment was not the equipment's equivalent rank, but how he could refine a piece of flight equipment.

He lay the sheet of fur flat and scanned it with his mental power again.

At this time, he released his spiritual world and scanned the fur thoroughly.

Ou Yangming could also release his spiritual world at the market but it was crowded there, hence he dared not act rashly. If someone noticed it and took it as a sign of provocation from an enemy, he would not be able to go anywhere to cry.

On the other hand, he did not have so many concerns in this private s.p.a.ce.

Once he released his mental power, he could grasp the fur much more than before.

At the same time, his mind automatically made a comparison between this sheet of fur and Yuqi the Venerable One's flying carpet.

Although he still could not guess what Yuqi the Venerable One's flying card was refined from, he remembered its attributes clearly. After making a brief comparison, he instantly realized that the fur he purchased was very inferior.

Even so, it was within his expectations.

There was not a high requirement for the material needed to refine a flying carpet as a spirit beast's fur would be enough. Having said that, a spirit beast's equivalent rank would affect the product's quality. If Ou Yangming refined the fur that he had just bought, there would not be a high success rate and even if he succeeded by luck, the flying carpet made would be of the lowest rank.

Ou Yangming curled his lips into a smile and shook his head slightly.

In actuality, he had chosen this fur on purpose as he wanted to use it for practice. If he really found a top-grade spirit beast's fur or a Venerable One's fur, he would not have dared to try.

Ou Yangming curbed his thoughts and slowly focused.

Inside his spiritual world, that fur slowly unfolded. Veined patterns were seen attached to it.

The veined patterns were extremely similar to the ones on Yuqi the Venerable One's flying carpet, but there were still some differences overall. Those slight similarities were the ones that formed every person's different style.

Ou Yangming was attempting in his spiritual world. If everything was normal, he could carve them on the fur.

However, Ou Yangming suddenly furrowed his eyebrows after a brief moment. This was because a bizarre change occurred in his spiritual realm, where the fur that was having paths carved on it broke apart without warning.

It did not just tear as the entire sheet seemed to have been forcibly broken by a forceful power, and the broken pieces were at most the size of a person's palm.

Ou Yangming sighed. He had expected this outcome.

Since there was a huge disparity between the qualities of the 2 furs, if a similar Spell Rune was applied, the lower-grade fur would break as it could not withstand the rune's pressure.

Ou Yangming's waist sash was refined from the Wutong Tree's branch, which was why it could withstand enormous pressure and became a High Grade magic tool. If the waist sash's material was ordinary, it would have broken when many attributes were added to it.

The young fellow pondered for a long time and recalled the book's content, then he kept interlacing and combining it with the veined patterns on the flying carpet.

Eventually, his thoughts drifted as if time flowed backward, such that he returned to when he flew in the sky on the flying carpet with Yuqi the Venerable One, the old macaque, and Big Yellow.

It was an incredibly wonderful feeling, which had been deeply engraved in his memory and spiritual world.

His mental power was related to the Phoenixes' power, as well as the world's origin. This was the reason he could naturally draw the origin power when he entered the world, and it allowed him to try various smithing techniques inside his spiritual world.

Ou Yangming's mind kept twisting and turning at the moment, by which numerous veined paths, which could not be seen clearly by normal people, surfaced in his mind. Moreover, the vein paths were not messy at all as though they had been sorted out by him, thus they appeared distinctly without being in a mess.

The countless lines were undergoing orderly attempts.

When a Spell Rune's paths were unsuitable, Ou Yangming would immediately replace them with another set.

Despite that, it was evidently much more difficult to leave a suitable Flight Run on such a low-rank fur, where it exceeded Ou Yangming's expectations. He had changed 7 sets of paths in a row, but the outcome was always the same; the fur would burst and nothing would remain.

Ou Yangming took a deep breath. He did not give up.

Flying carpets were pieces of equipment that could only be refined by Venerable Blacksmiths. As arrogant as he was, he did not think that he could succeed within a short period.

Of course, if he was given furs that belonged to a top-grade spirit beast or a Venerable One, he might be able to copy and paste the rune paths. Nevertheless, that was merely wishful thinking because he could not hope for those furs.

Ou Yangming opened his eyes and left his spiritual world.

Even though it was important to research something tirelessly, there was also a need to strike a proper balance between work and rest. If one researched while feeling exhausted and blurred, the result would be the opposite of what one desired.

“Woof…” Big Yellow's eyes lit up as soon as the young fellow stood up, and it shouted, “Lil' Ming, someone came to send you a bunch of furs and feathers. What do you need them for?”

Ou Yangming was slightly stunned. “How fast.”

He neither cultivated in isolation nor meditated this time; he was studying and exploring ways to use runes. Therefore, he was aware of how much time had pa.s.sed.

'It has only been 2 hours. Has Tian Yinghao finished what I asked him to do?'

When Ou Yangming entered the drawing room, sure enough, Tian Yinghao had been waiting for a long time. Once the man handed him the collected furs and feathers for him to inspect them, he looked at the man in admiration.

The young fellow found the right person indeed as Tian Yinghao performed much better than he had imagined.

Tian Yinghao sighed a breath of relief after he saw how pleased Ou Yangming was. He later asked, “Brother Ou, the Lottery Meet will start in 5 days. Other than interspatial bags, many great items will also be sold and auctioned. Are you interested in joining the meet?”

Ou Yangming was moved. He answered with a smile, “Okay. Since there's such a grand event, I ought to go and take a look.”

He could not finish refining a flying carpet in a day or two, so it would be a good choice to relax occasionally.

Besides, he wanted to take the opportunity to meet Yuqi the Venerable One as he wondered why his partners from Mount Wuzhi were still nowhere to be seen.

Tian Yinghao was elated, and he raised another question, “Brother Ou, I'll come and get you after 5 days, then we'll head there together. What do you think?”

“I couldn't have asked for more.” Ou Yangming nodded.

Tian Yinghao was overjoyed. He began to converse with the young fellow but this time, they talked about the various problems in smithing art.

Ou Yangming listened quietly and gave his opinion from time to time.

He read many books in the library but theories were theories, after all. Even when he combined them with his practical experiences from before, he could not master them in just a few days. While Tian Yinghao's level of attainment in smithing art was lower, he received professional training and had extensive experience in theories. As such, he also knew some common smithing problems very well.

By listening to Tian Yinghao, Ou Yangming felt like he benefited a lot too.

He had encountered many similar issues before this, but he relied on his Military Fire's unique power and solved them unreasonably.

This was similar to when he used the Wutong Tree as a raw material while other people used normal materials.

He could smith fine pieces of equipment not because he had broad and solid knowledge, but because he possessed something special.

Throughout Ou Yangming's discussion with Tian Yinghao, he gained a deeper understanding of various smithing techniques, as well as many methods to solve problems. In particular, some distinctive tricks made him feel enlightened.

Just as they became immersed in their conversation, Ou Yangming poured out 2 ores from his interspatial bag.

Tian Yinghao looked strangely at him. He had just obtained an interspatial bag, but it did not have a large s.p.a.ce, so he must meticulously plan how he should utilize it. He could only envy when he saw how Ou Yangming casually storing a bunch of ores in his interspatial bag like a rich man.

Under Ou Yangming's invitation, Tian Yinghao performed the smithing technique that he was adept in.

Tian Yinghao picked a few of the specially-selected ores, then he slowly burned them with his spiritual fire, causing them to melt bit by bit. He described the arrangement and burning order in detail, and it was worth noting that they involved great knowledge. If one of the steps was wrong, the ores that were burned would not perfectly merge into one, and it would affect the outcome to a certain extent.

He did not stint on teaching Ou Yangming what he knew. Throughout the process, he also especially noted some parts where defects could be caused.

At last, he added sincerely, “Brother Ou, this is my greatest gain from learning smithing art for 2 decades, and I taught you everything I know, so how much you'll be able to learn will be up to your luck.”

Ou Yangming grinned and said, “Okay, let me try.”

He picked those ores according to the sequence as well, then he pondered for a brief moment before he released his scorching Military Fire.

However, without using his fire's unique burning ability this time, he adopted Tian Yinghao's method and slowly practiced from the lowest level of smithing art.
