Chapter 296 - The Peculiar Stones Magical Effect (1/2)
Ou Yangming shook his head and curbed his thought again, then he inspected the remaining materials on the casting table.
The purple flame in his sea of consciousness still enveloped many attributes, so he was confident about upgrading the longsword to the peak of Fine Grade Rank Five without using any material on the casting table.
Nonetheless, he was at the capital, not Changlong County’s prefecture. Perhaps he was facing the present princess at the moment, but Her Royal Highness had the support of a remarkable Fine Grade King.
Therefore, Ou Yangming did not want to leave any loopholes in front of them.
He could subdue the blacksmiths from Changlong County’s Ni family and Fang family, but… He would be imagining the wildest thing if he wanted to fool the Fine Grade King Ou Yangming nodded after he checked the materials because he was satisfied with them.
He later picked up the longsword and burned the Military Fire around the weapon.
The weapon’s attributes appeared in his mind, and he was given two choices as usual.
Ou Yangming chose to draw the attributes without any hesitation, where he withdrew every unique property from the longsword.
Power +3, Ice Attribute Might +2, Freeze Combo (Rank One).
Nothing changed when he absorbed the first two properties, but he needed to use twice the size of the usual purple light to draw the skill property. Moreover, the process was sluggish to a certain extent.
Ou Yangming immediately understood that he was lucky to have become much stronger than before, or he would not be able to draw the skill property.
It would be wishful thinking for him if he had just gotten the Military Fire not long ago.
Without the special properties, the longsword became an ordinary treasure sword at the peak of High Grade.
Following that, purple lights were released onto the longsword right away. As a result, the weapon’s basic attributes were greatly improved in a split second. Before long, a longsword at the peak of Fine Grade Rank Five appeared in front of him.
Ou Yangming smiled proudly. The smithing technique was considered a cheat and could not be compared with Master Wu Hongxi’s path of equilibrium, but it was useful during special and crucial moments.
As the Military Fire kept burning, Ou Yangming added the special properties, which he had withdrawn earlier, to the longsword.
In actuality, he could upgrade the longsword without drawing the properties, but he wanted to be as careful as he could, so he put in more energy and effort into the process.
With the purple Military Fire’s help, he completed the alteration of the longsword in just 15 minutes.
Ou Yangming exhaled deeply and sensed the longsword’s properties. He was extremely proud. [Item: Extraordinary longsword (Yellow)] [Equivalent Rank: Ordinary Tool, Fine Grade, Rank Five]
[Attributes: Sharpness +20. Toughness +20, Power +3, Ice Attribute Might +2, Durability
20]
(Skill: Freeze Combo (Rank One)]
Only the quality of Fine Grade Rank Five was worthy of the three special properties.
No. Honestly, according to Ou Yangming’s judgment, the peak of Fine Grade Rank Five was not a big deal; he thought that only a magic tool could match the properties well!
Nevertheless, how could Ou Yangming reveal his best trump card in this situation?
He put down the longsword and picked up a piece of featured steel and some other rare materials. Through the Military Fire, they were quickly made into different pieces of equipment. Needless to say, the pieces of equipment were only made to increase some attribute storage for the purple lights in his sea of consciousness.
Once Ou Yangming absorbed the attributes, the materials’ essences vanished as they were burnt by the Military Fire, and the materials turned into ashes in the end.
Just as Ou Yangming wanted to call out to Wu Hanning, he was struck with a thought. He fixed his gaze on the white peculiar stone.
The young fellow was dying of curiosity. ‘What exactly is this odd stone’s magical effect?’
It was a completely different treasure as compared to the bizarre stone in the Chaos Cave. Being a blacksmith, the fact that Ou Yangming was clueless about the treasure’s function made him feel more uneasy than if he were to die.
Ou Yangming would be fine if he did not think about it, but since he did, he instantly became interested and was eager to try.
He gritted his teeth and reached out for the longsword to envelop it with his Military Fire. Concurrently, the fire burnt the white peculiar stone too.
Ou Yangming decided to utilize the white ore since he identified that the two special properties were related to it.
“Woosh…”
As the Military Fire burned, a wonderful power spread in the fire.
The white stone was incredibly stubborn as it did not waver even when the Military Fire burned it.
