Chapter 222 - Difference Of A Thousand Times (2/2)

Ten years ago, the Ni family accidentally found out that the runes could improve a piece of low-cost equipment’s equivalent rank. Despite that, from an aristocratic family’s perspective, publicizing it would not match their clan’s benefits. Hence, the Ni family found Master Lu and leaked the skill through this method.

Even so, it was not easy to transform the runes in theory into something real. In fact, Master Lu spent nearly ten years trying to get some results.

Master Lu, what about the other normal molds? Let me take a look at them,” Ou Yangming requested.

“That’s easy, come with me,” Master Lu responded loud and clear.

There were about ten of those molds, but not all of them were used; at least a quarter of them took turns to be fixed and maintained.

When Ou Yangming was brought to four molds, which were stacked together, he reached out his hand to touch them.

Master Lu stated proudly, “I polished these molds bit by bit, so their qualities are generally the same.”

Ou Yangming nodded, but he was already inspecting through the thoroughly meticulous state.

Sure enough, the molds that were deemed perfect by Master Lu were lacking in many ways based on what Ou Yangming saw.

That said, the sub-quality areas were not eye-catching, so n.o.body would notice them without the thoroughly meticulous state. If Ou Yangming pointed them out, he would be nitpicking Master Lu and would make things difficult for the master.

However, Ou Yangming had a hunch that the reason the upgrade of the pieces of cheap equipment was low was closely related to the details.

He pondered before he suggested, “Master Lu, I’ve been studying runes, so I gained some knowledge in them. How about I modify that mold?”

“You…” Master Lu was taken aback, and he wanted to reject the young fellow.

‘You’ve just come across Runes Power, yet you’re already thinking about fixing a mold that even I am helpless against. You’re being overconfident!’

The master opened his mouth as he wanted to rebuke Ou Yangming, but he instantly thought about the magic spear.

Since the spear was still in the military camp, based on Master Lu’s status, it was not difficult for him to visit Chen Yifan. It was also after the master saw the magic tool that he no longer doubted Ou Yangming’s ident.i.ty and his ability.

Master Lu decided to shut up. Judging from the fact that Ou Yangming could smith a magic tool, any strange requests made by the young fellow seemed to be excusable. “Ah, okay.” Master Lu was helpless. “I’ll give you that mold that has a low success rate, and I hope you’ll figure out its mystery.”

Ou Yangming laughed. “I’ll surely do my best.”

Following that, he reached out his hand and placed it on the mold, then he activated the Military Fire to envelop the mold. Through the Military Fire, Ou Yangming had a finer understanding of the veined patterns on the mold. When he compared them with what was stored in his memory and employed the thoroughly meticulous state, he found several unordinary points at once.

From Ou Yangming’s point of view, the world was still the world, but it became a microscopic world.

It was not easy for Master Lu to achieve a millimeter precision by using the Military Fire.

Nonetheless, through the thoroughly meticulous state, Ou Yangming’s view was on a micro-level.

The difference between their observations was no longer a hundred times, but a thousand times.

This was why Ou Yangming could easily find the flaws, whereas Master Lu could not notice anything even if he widened his eyes until he became blind.

Ou Yangming smiled confidently. In terms of understanding of changes in runes, he was inferior to Master Lu, who was already immersed in the study for ten years.

Nevertheless, the young fellow’s tool was much stronger than Master Lu’s.

As the Military Fire burned, the flaws were corrected one by one. In particular, Ou Yangming paid extra attention to the ambiguous parts.

Eventually, the veined patterns on the mold were fully amended. Ou Yangming perfectly displayed the theories in the book on a real object. The instant the runes became perfect, the purple light in Ou Yangming’s mind suddenly moved as if it was attracted to the runes. The lights gushed out abruptly and went around the runes.

Ou Yangming did not expect the occurrence because it was out of the blue. He initially wanted to stop it, but he decided to let it be because he was curious.

Next, the purple light flashed and returned to his mind.

Ou Yangming exhaled deeply and trembled a little. He had a weird look on his face as he slowly raised his palm.

“Woosh…”

The Military Fire disappeared, and the mold, which looked the same as its original state to ordinary people, was uncovered.
