Chapter 555: The Wish-fulfilling Clay

The antelope arrived like a wind in front of Ou Yangming and the others, then it tossed an interspatial bag without any hesitation.

Needless to say, the antelope did not want to cause any misunderstanding that would get itself killed. Besides, the Silver Ridge Giant Leopard’s end was right in front of it, hence instead of getting too close to Ou Yangming and the rest, it stopped a distance away from them.

Ou Yangming reached out to catch the interspatial bag.

He was shocked when he looked inside through his mental conception.

Sure enough, there were plenty of minerals inside, each one seemingly unordinary. According to the way of the lower realm, the minerals’ values were probably not inferior to that of a certain treasure that belonged to the imperial family.

Nonetheless, it was worth noting that the minerals were merely a part of a wild spirit beast’s collection.

Ou Yangming could tell from the interspatial bag alone that the Spiritual Realm’s wealth was far from what the lower realm could compare.

Of course, this was only a disparity between them in terms of treasures. In actuality, the lower realm had vast lands, which if used reasonably could create wealth and value that could not be imagined by ordinary people. Even so, people that were qualified to gain that level of wealth were unordinary too. At the very least, spirit beasts such as the Silver Ridge Giant Leopard and the antelope would not have any hope.

The young fellow lamented for a while before he shook his wrist and retrieved a soft, clay-like, red item.

His Military Fire then flickered in his hand.

[Item: Wish-fulfilling Clay]

[Properties: Has a unique ability to change an equipment’s size, the Spiritual Realm’s specialty]

Ou Yangming’s eyelids twitched. If he stumbled upon flying stones from beyond Heaven or peculiar stones in the lower realm, he could not have identified what they were through the Military Fire or appraisal art.

According to the little red bird, appraisal art was a type of origin magic art, which drew on the world’s origin power to appraise items. Therefore, even if appraisers did not recognize certain items or equipment, they could vaguely detect their names and functions through appraisal art.

Nevertheless, the art’s biggest shortcoming was it would be useless against items that surpassed the acknowledgment of the world’s origin.

It would definitely be useless work to exert the Military Fire or appraisal art on the Wish-fulfilling Clay in the lower realm. This was because the item simply was not born in the lower realm. Even if a bit of them occasionally got from the Spiritual Realm into the lower realm, the lower realm’s origin would not be able to discover its properties.

Once Ou Yangming entered the upper realm, his Military Fire no longer borrowed the lower realm’s origin knowledge, but the origin knowledge system that belonged to the Spiritual Realm.

Hence, when Ou Yangming’s Military Fire flickered, he immediately understood the item’s name and its function.

As said by the lazy turtle, the Wish-fulfilling Clay was not a rare item in the Spiritual Realm, or the antelope could not have acquired it.

Ou Yangming kept a straight face as he continued to retrieve the other minerals from the interspatial bag and identified them with his Military Fire.

His Military Fire did not disappoint him at all. In particular, when he appraised the remaining materials, the notifications displayed were so detailed that they were out of his expectations, thus he was very satisfied.

Afterward, he shook his wrist again. This time, what appeared was not a mineral, but a rhizome with a peculiar luster and enormous energy inside.

Ou Yangming was dumbfounded. Earlier on, he was completely focused on the different minerals. A blacksmith that came across such rare minerals was similar to a starving glutton running into a full banquet, or a pervert that chanced on fair ladies; one would not be able to hold back.

Thus, Ou Yangming was rather startled when he unconsciously retrieved the plant.

The antelope was also stunned, and it did not know to cry or to laugh. “Ah, I made a mistake. Fine, fine... This will also be one of the rewards. As long as you manage to smith an equipment set, I’ll give that to you as a bonus.”

Ou Yangming quietly tossed the item aside, but it landed steadily on the ground as though it was carried by a pair of invisible hands.

Although the antelope was not concerned about the item, the fact that it collected it proved that it was a commendable item.

Especially to Ou Yangming, who had just come from the lower realm and was akin to a poor beggar, every little gain mattered to him, so he would not anyhow discard anything.

Despite that, a yellow figure flashed beside him as Big Yellow leaped and picked up the item with its mouth.

Ou Yangming looked at the big yellow dog in shock because it was usually impatient when it found spiritual items. Having said that, something was different this time. When the young fellow looked at its eyes, he did not see any excitement; the yellow dog looked confused.

It seemed like even Big Yellow found it strange that it suddenly acted like that.

The young fellow was moved. He glanced at the odd rhizome and secretly remembered it, but he quickly looked away and continued to inspect the various minerals inside the interspatial bag.

He could tell from the types and quantity of minerals that the antelope had been preparing for a long time for its equipment set. At the very least, everything that he could think of was gathered, and there were also many minerals that did not cross his mind at all.

The antelope was nervous when it looked at Ou Yangming being deep in his thoughts.

It was not a blacksmith, after all, so it only knew how to gather materials. As such, it was unsure if the materials were enough and if they could be used to smith anything good. Moreover, the antelope was told that human blacksmiths would not always succeed in smithing anything and would sometimes fail.

This was why the powerful mountain lords on the 10,000 Beasts Ridge would always prepare at least 4 sets of materials.

Even though the antelope had put a lot of thought into this, the materials that were gathered could only be used to smith 3 equipment sets at most, so it was feeling uneasy.

“Human smithing master, so... Are these materials enough?”

Ou Yangming seemed to be considering the matter seriously, but whatever was going through his mind at the moment had nothing to do with it.

He glared at the antelope and asked in return, “Do you think these are enough?”

Honestly, the materials were more than sufficient; there were too many of them. However, Ou Yangming could not help but deceive the antelope when he saw how anxious it was.

Sure enough, the antelope smiled apologetically and said, “Human blacksmith, I know that normally, at least 4 sets of materials need to be prepared for assurance, but I’ve only gathered this many for now.” It paused for a while before it added, “But I can use my other collections as replacements. No matter what, I won’t let you suffer any loss.”

It knew very well how difficult it was to stumble upon a reliable human blacksmith on the 10,000 Beasts Ridge.

If it missed this opportunity, it would not know when it would be able to encounter another human blacksmith.

Of course, the antelope only trusted Ou Yangming very much because it experienced how tough Big Yellow’s equipment set was. If that was not the case, it would not have been so easygoing unless the young fellow smithed pieces of equipment that satisfied it.

Ou Yangming wondered and asked scornfully, “What other good collections do you have? Can they be better than I have?”

If human blacksmiths and alchemists were indeed wealthy figures—as said by the antelope—their possessions should worth more than what the antelope had.

As expected, the antelope looked gloomy right away. It was as if it was also blaming itself for being overconfident by trying to compare its net worth with a blacksmith’s.

Ou Yangming looked at the antelope and noted, “Alright, I’m lacking a fur coat. If you contribute your fur, I’ll do my best to smith an equipment set for you.”

“F-fur?” The antelope was stupefied, and it had a weird expression on its face.

“If you’re not willing to do that, forget it.” Ou Yangming curled his mouth but was secretly more alert as he thought, ‘Looks like there’s something bizarre about its fur. I was being too obvious with my intention.’

Who knew, the antelope shouted, “No, no, no, I mean... Ah, since my fur will grow, I’ll give them to you if you’re able to smith an equipment set with similar qualities as that dog’s.”

Ou Yangming was elated. Putting aside everything else, the fact that the fur had the unique ability to hide a spiritual item’s aura proved that it was much more valuable than Big Yellow’s suit.

Since the antelope did not know about goods, he could not be blamed for taking advantage of it.

That said, Ou Yangming did not know that the antelope was also talking to itself at the moment.

‘This human blacksmith is really blind; I can’t believe he wants my fur, which will grow out at any time. I made a fortune—I really made a fortune this time!’

As both parties achieved their aims, they were delighted.

In actuality, it was not that they had poor visions. Was the antelope not aware of its fur’s special function? It simply did not treasure it because it could easily gain new fur. Similarly, smithing pieces of equipment was a piece of cake for Ou Yangming, so he could not understand how much the antelope yearned for a suitable equipment set.

Ou Yangming picked up an ore and looked at the big lazy turtle. He delivered a message through his conception, “Hey, how should I use the Wish-fulfilling Clay?”

The lazy turtle blinked and twitched its eyes as it cursed, ‘How dare this fella smith something when he doesn’t even know what the Wish-fulfilling Clay is? He’s simply...’ Nonetheless, it dared not reprimand Ou Yangming openly.

“I’m not sure too, but I heard that you just have to incorporate the clay into the equipment.”

Ou Yangming shook his head and thought, ‘That’s a useless answer.

‘Incorporate it? How much do I have to incorporate for it to be functional? What will happen if more clay is used? What will happen if I use less of it?’

In any case, he knew it would be pointless discussing this with the lazy turtle, so he could only explore the clay himself.

As Ou Yangming was struck with a thought, he could not help but ask, “Brother Antelope, what’s your specialties? Since I’m going to customize an equipment set for you, I’ll have to make sure it’ll allow you to unleash your abilities perfectly.”

“Thank you, thank you.” The antelope’s eyes lit up. It lowered its head and said, “My specialties are my speed and the horns on my head. These horns can release gravitational force to delay or restrain my enemies, so they won’t be able to move, and I’ll have time to escape.”
