Chapter 355 Gifts At The First eting
When Ou Yangming’s invitation was sent by word to the absent Supre Great Ancestors, they followed their hearts. Not only did they show up at the square, which belonged to blacksmiths, but they also brought other powerhouses from their clans.
Ou Yangming was conversing with many newly-advanced Supre Great Ancestors at the mont, and he seed to be getting along with them. Even so, he generously flashed a big smile at the latecors when he saw them.
The powerhouses sighed breaths of relief.
They were at the peak of Yang Grade too, but they failed to seize the opportunity to beco Supre Great Ancestors. It was certainly a huge blow for them.
Nonetheless, as long as one was still alive, one would get out of the shadow of failure sooner or later. It was torturing for those powerhouses to et Ou Yangming and the Supre Great Ancestors, who used to be on par with them, but it was also a form of spiritual relief.
Seeing as everyone had arrived, Ou Yangming stood up and bowed at everyone. “Greetings, brothers.”
Everyone else imdiately stood up to return the salutation; even the Supre Great Ancestors dared not receive it without returning it.
Woo Lejia remarked in a deep voice, “Brother Ou, you’re treating us like strangers.”
“Exactly.” Chen Yixian agreed as well. “Master Ou, why have you gathered us here? As long as you’re not scheming a revolution, I’ll follow you to the ends of Earth!”
The other people burst out laughing, but deep down they were feeling slightly worried.
Given that Ou Yangming assembled so many of them, it would only make sense that he had sothing to appeal; even a fool would not believe that he had no requests to make. If it was for a normal matter, the Supre Great Ancestors would definitely offer their help, but they would be powerless if it was related to the imperial family.
Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. He knew their worries, but he did not intend to overthrow the imperial family to dominate instead.
“Brothers, since you’re all here, I’ll cut to the chase.” Ou Yangming turned around and pointed at the piled-up pieces of equipnt on the casting table in the middle. “I prepared gifts for you at our first eting, so go ahead and take your pick.”
The powerhouses looked at each other. Including the Supre Great Ancestors, they desired the items.
This was because they were aware of Ou Yangming’s level of attainnt in smithing art, and they witnessed him working together with many Advanced Blacksmiths. The scene where many blacksmiths smithed together in public was so awe-inspiring that it could not be compared with usual smithing processes behind closed doors.
Therefore, the powerhouses knew the pieces of equipnt were top-notch even though they were not magic tools.
Nevertheless, could they acquire Ou Yangming’s items so easily?
Woo Lejia looked around and laughed out loud. “Since you said that, I’ll be making a move.”
Just as he was going to step forward, Chen Yixian beat him to it and comnted, “Brother Woo, we all know you obtained the best item, so you won’t get your pick, hehe!”
The other people exchanged glances and laughed out loud. They went forward and teased Woo Lejia as they forced him to move behind.
Woo Lejia looked indignant, but he did not intend to snatch a piece of equipnt from the pile.
Indeed, he had gotten a custom-made magic nine-ringed saber, so what more could he ask for?
Many Supre Great Ancestors and the few Yang Grade powerhouses walked around the casting table. They did not check out the pieces of equipnt alone because they were accompanied by an appraiser each. When they were told the items’ attributes, while looking calm on the outside, they were incredibly perturbed on the inside.
Every piece of equipnt was of Fine Grade. In particular, the suits and the pieces of equipnt that were embedded with gems were extrely eye-catching.
They wanted very badly to claim everything for themselves because their clans’ overall strengths would improve if they possessed the pieces of equipnt. Despite that, they knew it was impossible to take everything.
Even if they could suppress the other clans, the imperial family was not going to stand by idly if a clan seized everything.
The imperial family would turn a blind eye if the pieces of equipnt were distributed to various parties, but if they were all gathered in a clan... The clan would be drawing attention and would be courting their death.
After a brief mont, the powerhouses tacitly began to choose a piece of equipnt each according to a mutually agreed order in the capital.
Once everyone was done, about half of the original pieces of equipnt were left.
Everyone lanted when they saw what remained, and they revered Ou Yangming more than before.
The pieces of equipnt were originally raw materials, but they were turned into pieces of powerful equipnt by Ou Yangming. It was even more terrifying that there was such a wide range to choose from, making the powerhouses feel like everything one expected to find was available.
Needless to say, the powerhouses knew that the credit was also shared with over ten Advanced Blacksmiths.
The Advanced Blacksmiths were reputable and experienced blacksmiths in the capital. Although they were not Superior Blacksmiths, based on their achievents in certain aspects, they were not inferior to those who earned the Superior title.
In fact, over ten Advanced Blacksmiths as a whole could surpass several Superior Blacksmiths.
It was exactly because of their wonderful cooperation that they were able to produce many pieces of mighty equipnt in a short period.
Without the blacksmiths, it would be difficult for Ou Yangming to reenact the day’s glorious event even if he wanted to.
That said, nobody dared to underestimate Ou Yangming. They respected the young and mighty blacksmiths more than ever because they knew who was the real core of the team.
Ou Yangming would need to spend more ti and effort without the Advanced Blacksmiths, but he could still finish the pieces of equipnt.
However, without Ou Yangming, not to ntion the Advanced Blacksmiths working together, even if there were twice as many of them, they would still be helpless in the end.
Woo Lejia asked with gleaming eyes, “Brother Ou, how do you plan to handle the remaining pieces of equipnt?”
Everyone else’s eyes lit up as they looked forward to Ou Yangming’s answer.
Ou Yangming laughed out loud and approached the casting table. He brushed his hands across the remaining items to keep them in his interspatial bag to stop everyone from staring at them.
Having said that, the crowd beca more attentive because they noticed his interspatial
bag.
“Brothers, I suppose you’re aware of my background?” Ou Yangming grinned.
Woo Lejia laughed out loud and responded, “Brother Ou, we didn’t know you before you beca famous, but if anyone still has no idea who you are, they won’t be qualified to stand here.”
The powerhouses were supported by great forces, thus they were inford about different news without needing to ask around themselves.
“Since you know who I am, I won’t beat around the bush.” Ou Yangming nodded and glanced at everyone with lightning eyes. “According to what I was told, Changlong County’s beast tide is about to happen. Though the spirit beast’s trace is yet to be found, likely, the creature’s here already.”
Woo Lejia and the other people instantly looked grave. They knew this was going to happen, but they were still anxious when it happened.
Ou Yangming continued, “I’ve decided to return to Changlong County to... Kill the spirit beast!”
He spoke in a deep voice but made sure that everyone heard him clearly.
Everyone was taken aback, but Woo Lejia inhaled deeply and expressed, “Master Ou, I’m willing to go to Changlong County with you. Hehe, isn’t it just a spirit beast? I don’t believe that it has three heads and six arms!”
Chen Yixian hesitated for a while before he uttered with a smile, “Brother Woo, count in.”
The other people looked at each other. They looked grim and embarrassed at the sa ti.
One would be risking one’s life to face a spirit beast. Since Woo Lejia was given a magic nine-ringed saber, he was sowhat compelled to fight. As for the Chen family, their relationship with Ou Yangming was already known to everyone. Given the young fellow’s connection with Chen Dishou and Chen Yifan’s magic spear, they were left with no choice too.
What about the other clans? They were evidently undecided about fighting a spirit beast.
Ou Yangming was not furious at all. He added, “I hereby promise that Supre Great Ancestors who are willing to co to Changlong County with will be given a magic tool each.”
The square was dead silent all of a sudden, so much so that nobody could be heard breathing.
A falling needle would certainly be audible at this mont because everyone held their breaths; even Woo Lejia and Chen Yixian widened their eyes in disbelief at Ou Yangming
They even wondered, ‘Were we hearing things just now?
‘Magic tools?
‘Ou Yangming promised to reward everyone with a magic tool each?
‘A magic tool-a tool that surpassed everything in this world!’
Even the lowest-ranked magic tools were much greater than an ordinary piece of equipnt because the two had entirely different properties.
They did not doubt Ou Yangming at all because they received verified news that Woo Lejia had indeed acquired a magic nine-ringed saber.
Having said that, could magic tools be smithed so easily? Even if Ou Yangming could smith them, there was probably a limit, and he would need to consu unimaginable energy for it.
When the imperial family was at their peak, they dared not promise everyone a magic tool at all.
Eventually, soone stood out. It was He Xinfang, the He family’s new Supre Great Ancestor. He questioned, “Brother Ou, can you really give us magic tools?”
Ou Yangming answered without any hesitation, “A replacent is guaranteed if it’s not genuine. I won’t go back on my word!” “Okay, I trust you.” He Xinfang was in high spirits. “Brother Ou, from today onwards, I’ll be following you!”
A Supre Great Ancestor had just made such a promise in front of everyone else.
Nonetheless, the other people were neither surprised nor disdainful. Their eyes dazzled instead.
