Chapter 356 High-profit Temptations

A small man slowly walked out from the crowd. He had a height disadvantage, but the other people looked at him with fear.

Ou Yangming had an extremely deep impression of the man. He was Qian Yuxing, the Qian family’s Supreme Great Ancestor, and was one of the powerhouses who benefited during the Myriad Treasure Meet. Ou Yangming still remembered the man’s valiance during their fight that day. Faced with the big multicolored tiger, many powerhouses were unwilling to admit defeat until the very end. Nonetheless, Qian Yuxing was the only Yang Grade powerhouse who had the guts to go head-on against the tiger and did not suffer a huge loss. He had a tough character and cultivated an incredibly unique technique. Moreover, his body was not inferior to a half-spirit beast.

Among his peers, putting aside the elements and differences between pieces of equipment, he could triumph over everyone in terms of raw capabilities. “Brother Ou.” Qian Yuxing cupped his fists at Ou Yangming. “I dare not doubt your ability, but to smith 26 magic tools, I’m afraid that even you…” He did not finish his sentence, but everyone else understood his concern. In actuality, the other people were worried about the same thing too.

“Brother Ou, as long as I return to Changlong County’s prefecture, I’ll have enough raw materials to smith magic tools. Besides…” Ou Yangming grinned and glanced at everyone with sharp eyes. “I’m not going to smith 26 magic tools.” Qian Yuxing was stunned. “How many can you smith? Half of that?”

Everyone else paid attention to Ou Yangming, and the atmosphere had somehow become tense.

Nevertheless, the powerhouses had the same thought; they would head to Changlong County regardless of the costs as long as Ou Yangming could complete half of what he promised.

If there were 13 magic tools in total, every two clans could share a magic tool each.

A Supreme Great Ancestor was very important for a clan. Without a great ancestor, a clan would decline to a lower level. In a way, a figure as such was the backbone of a clan. Despite that, a magic tool’s importance was not at all inferior to a Supreme Great Ancestor’s significance. This was because a magic tool was a treasure that could be inherited in a clan, and having one meant that a great ancestor could be produced in almost every generation.

In comparison, the powerhouses who paid more importance to their clans’ inheritances were more pa.s.sionate about magic tools than they were about having an extra Supreme Great Ancestor in their clan.

After all, a Supreme Great Ancestor represented the present, whereas a magic tool symbolized a clan’s glory for centuries.

Ou Yangming looked at Qian Yuxing and answered, “I’m going to smith 100 magic tools.”

“What?” Qian Yuxing shuddered, and he looked dubiously at Ou Yangming. When he turned around and saw the other people being dumbfounded too, he confirmed that he heard it right. “Master Ou, you… 100 magic tools?”

If someone else had said that, the Supreme Great Ancestors would have charged at the presumptuous fellow to beat him up.

However, when Ou Yangming boasted about it, the powerhouses looked at each other as they were dazed. Although their rationales were telling them that it was likely impossible, they somehow became fervent when they looked at the casting table and the young fellow’s interspatial bag, which stored sufficient pieces of equipment. The powerhouses realized that they were willing to trust him.

Qian Yuxing took a deep breath, which went straight to the bottom of his heart and seemingly reduced the heat in his body.

Following that, he asked out loud, “Master Ou, why do you want to smith so many magic tools?”

He no longer questioned if Ou Yangming could smith that many magic tools, which was evident that he chose to trust the young fellow.

“Because I’d like to lead an army of 100 great ancestors back to my hometown, and a magic tool’s might can only be fully unleashed by a Supreme Great Ancestor,” Ou Yangming noted with a proud smile. He glanced at the other people again but noticed entirely different looks on their faces. “I hope your clans can provide more dependable powerhouses at the peak of Yang Grade.”

Qian Yuxing’s eyes lit up right away, and he shouted, “The Qian family can provide 10 powerhouses!” “Brother Qian, you’re going overboard!” “Exactly. The Fang family can provide 15 powerhouses!”

“Hmph, we can provide 20 powerhouses!”

Ou Yangming was struck dumb. He did not need ordinary Yang Grade powerhouses, but those who had been at the peak of years and acc.u.mulated enough experiences. He needed powerhouses who had a high chance to enter the Extreme Grade.

It would be great if a big clan had 2 or 3 of those powerhouses, but Qian Yuxing, Woo Lejia, and the other people claimed that they had more than 10 of those powerhouses from their clans. As such, Ou Yangming was truly shocked.

‘Are these clans so profound that they have so many hidden powerhouses at the peak of Yang Grade?’ He wondered.
