Chapter 213 Old Craftsman’s Integration Of Heaven And Man
When Ou Yangming exited the dark cave, Ni Xuetian opened his eyes and looked eagerly at the young fellow.
Ou Yangming informed with a smile, “I smithed a magic tool for Big Yellow.” “Very well. Thank you, Lil’ Friend Ou,” Ni Xuetian responded with a serious face.
“Senior, you’re being too polite, I ought to do so,” Ou Yangming quickly replied to him. “Now that Big Yellow has a magic tool to protect itself, perhaps…” Ni Xuetian sighed and forced a smile after a pause. “Lil’ Friend Ou, let’s go.”
They were at an important place for the Ni family, after all, and Ou Yangming was still an outsider, so they could not stay there for long.
A thought crossed Ou Yangming’s mind. He thought as he saw how Ni Xuetian was hesitant to finish his sentence, ‘Could the thing that Ni Xuetian is unwilling to talk about be related to Big Yellow too?’
Nonetheless, he did not question the elder.
The two of them left the Chaos Cave and exited the ravine. When they were heading back to the prefecture, Ni Xuetian noted with a deep voice, “Lil’ Friend Ou, I received news that Yinghong and He Liangce are safe and sound, so they should return after two days.
Ou Yangming was relieved. Ni Xuetian had already a.s.sured him before, but he was only fully at ease after he received confirmation.
Due to their traveling speed, they returned to the Ni residence in no time.
Ou Yangming bid the elder farewell and returned to Old Craftsman’s room.
The old man was not in his room, but Ou Yangming’s ears twitched as he heard sounds coming from the smithing workshop.
He grinned. ‘Old Man is still the same; he can’t sit still.’
Ou Yangming headed to the smithing workshop curiously because he could sense that the old man was not the only person inside.
He was puzzled. This is the Ni residence. Besides, when did old Craftsman ever let anyone watch when he smiths?’
When Ou Yangming pushed the door open and noticed the people inside, he was slightly stunned.
Apart from Old Craftsman and Ni Yunhong, there were two familiar faces.
They were Zhong Yunda and w.a.n.g Zhongtong, who were the old man’s close friends from the Immense Forest Military Camp.
Everyone in the room was focused on Old Craftsman, who was paying close attention to his Military Fire.
Ni Yunhong nodded at Ou Yangming when he entered but the old man was so immersed in the smithing process that he was not distracted at all.
Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up when he fixed his gaze on Old Craftsman.
The old man was swaying his hands a little at that moment, and his Military Fire followed suit. When the fire burned, there was a vague feeling of it corresponding with the world, and it was a feeling that Ou Yangming was extremely familiar with.
It was the integration of Heaven and man.
There was no doubt to it; it was the integration of Heaven and man’s way of nature.
Unknowingly, Ou Yangming curled his lips into a faint smile.
The young fellow had apprehended the state due to his experiences in various aspects, but what induced him to take the leap was when he watched Old Craftsman perform the Layering Art. Old Craftsman poured his lifelong wisdom and energy into the study of Military Fire Smithing Art.
The Layering Art was also the skill that Old Craftsman was the proudest of. In fact, he had already perceived a hint of the integration of Heaven and man’s network when he performed the skill.
Despite that, the old man’s body was already declining. Although he had enough experience, his body was not strong enough for him to continue to explore the state.
After consuming the Life-prolonging Golden Pill and when the drug’s effect was completely unfolded, Old Craftsman experienced a new lease of life.
With plenty of resources in the Ni residence and his love for smithing art, Old Craftsman finally succeeded in taking the crucial leap. The old man did not have a high cultivation base in martial arts, thus he could not apply the integration of Heaven and man in that aspect. That said, he greatly improved in smithing art, and was now far beyond what he achieved in the past.
“Puff…”
Old Craftsman exhaled deeply when the Military Fire disappeared. He shook his head when he looked at the longsword in his hands.
Ou Yangming said with a smile, “Old Man, you’re smithing a divine weapon again. Let me take a look at it.”
“B*stard, you’re finally back.” Old Craftsman smiled when he looked up and saw the young fellow.
“Old Man, I came to see you as soon as I returned, so you should reward me.” Ou Yangming chuckled.
“Take it, this is your reward.” Old Craftsman casually tossed the longsword to him.
Ou Yangming used his Military Fire after he caught the longsword. He uttered in astonishment, “The peak of Fine Grade Rank Five.”
The weapon was at the peak of Fine Grade, but on second thought, the old man could also smith a piece of equipment of this standard in the past. Given that he had comprehended the integration of Heaven and man, his capability doubled, and it was no longer a difficult task for him.
Zhong Yunda immediately voiced out, “Ah, Old Craftsman, we came for that sword, but you gave it to Master Lil’ Ou just like that. How are we going to report on our mission?”
