By the time Ou Yangming returned to his courtyard, he suddenly noticed some strange looks nearby.
His accommodation was arranged by Bai Zhiyi. Perhaps the elder did not want him to catch too much attention, he was arranged to stay at a rather quiet place. Nonetheless, as peaceful as the place was, the young fellow could not be living in seclusion, hence he had some neighbors nearby.
The only thing was that there were no dealings between Ou Yangming and his neighbors before this. Even if they occasionally bumped into each other, they only glanced at one another without interacting at all.
On this day, the young fellow’s neighbors were obviously different as they cast flattering looks at him. If he were to greet them, they would definitely crowd around him like minions.
Ou Yangming knew it was surely because he made a hit during the auction, so much so that everyone knew about it.
It was no longer peaceful here. Nevertheless, Ou Yangming was glad that while there was a drastic change in those people’s attitudes, none of them approached him.
As soon as Ou Yangming returned to his courtyard, Tian Yinghao shouted, “Brother Ou, you’re finally back.”
Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows and asked, “Brother Tian, why are you so excited?”
Big Yellow lay lazily in a corner and looked snappily at Tian Yinghao. “This fella has been jumping around since he came. I have no idea what on earth he’s up to.”
Tian Yinghao smiled embarrassedly and uttered, “Brother Dog…”
“Stop!” Big Yellow glared at him. “My name is Big Yellow!”
“Okay, Brother Big Yellow, you have no idea how awe-inspiring Brother Ou was today. He really put everyone in the Beast King Sect under his spell!”
Big Yellow’s eyes lit up, and it finally became interested. It got up and asked, “What happened? Quickly tell me about it!”
Ou Yangming shook his head and grabbed the big yellow dog right away. “Enough with the nonsense—let’s get down to business.” He looked at Tian Yinghao and asked in a deep voice, “You’re here to collect the interspatial bags, right?”
“Yes, yes.” Tian Yinghao later reached for the interspatial bag that was given to him by Ou Yangming. He retrieved some items and said, “Brother Ou, I managed to get some materials with Interspatial Attributes. Could you see if they’re suitable?’
Ou Yangming looked at him in shock. Tian Yinghao was also a blacksmith from the Beast King Sect, but he was not gifted in the interspatial aspect, and his cultivation base was also far from being able to possess the related skills. Theoretically, the man would not be able to come across interspatial materials. Even so, he took out plenty of them, by which they were enough for Ou Yangming to refine 10 ordinary interspatial bags.
“Where did you get these from?” Ou Yangming asked.
“I collected them from the depot. Hehe, as long as I make a move, there’s nothing I can’t do!” Tian Yinghao answered proudly.
Ou Yangming stared coldly at him. “Tell me the truth.”
Tian Yinghao looked embarrassed. He responded, “I really collected them from the depot. Ah, I initially went there to find out who in our sect needs interspatial bags. Who knew, the depot’s elder spotted me and stuffed these materials to me.”
“Stuffed them to you?” Ou Yangming curled his lips. He knew very well why that happened. ‘These people from the Beast King Sect aren’t dumb at all. They’re using me as free labor.’
Despite that, for the sake of resisting the Insects, Ou Yangming was not against it. Interspatial bags neither had attacking, defending, nor healing abilities, but they were indispensable in a battlefield on a certain level.
Carrying pieces of equipment, pills, water, and so on—an interspatial bag’s worth would only stand out when one actually used it.
Ou Yangming was sure that if a cultivator possessed an interspatial bag, his or her overall strength and survival ability would increase by at least 30%.
Tian Yinghao laughed and flattered Ou Yangming, “Brother Ou, since you can refine interspatial bags, you can help by refining them when you’re free.” He stuck out his chest and assured the young fellow. “Don’t worry, no matter how many interspatial bags you end up refining, I’ll sell them all for you.”
“Do you even need to promote interspatial bags for them to be sold?” Ou Yangming did not know to cry or to laugh.
“Brother Ou, I’ll only be selling the interspatial bags within our sect. If you were to sell them instead, I have no idea where they’ll end up.” Tian Yinghao scratched his head and smiled apologetically.
Ou Yangming tensed up a little. He instantly recalled Yuqi the Venerable One’s words.
The Insects’ armies might be attacking the sect after 10 days. It seemed like he was already left with no choice at this time.
He nodded and said, “These materials alone won’t be enough. I’ll make a list for you to prepare some supplementary materials.”
“Okay!” Tian Yinghao was overjoyed. He did not expect Ou Yangming to agree to it so easily.
As Ou Yangming clapped his hands, he revealed the interspatial bags that he had one after another.
Some of them were refined by him through hard work while some of them were rewards that he obtained from the lizards. When all of the interspatial bags were shown, Tian Yinghao could not help but stare at them.
Although he had heard from Ou Yangming that he could provide this many interspatial bags, hearing about it was one thing; seeing them in person was another thing.
Tian Yinghao kept the interspatial bags with trembling hands, then he breathed heavily before he expressed, “Brother Ou, don’t worry, I’ll sell them at high prices for sure, and I won’t make you suffer any loss no matter what!”
Given that Ou Yangming possessed so many interspatial bags, spirit ores were no longer a problem. He would also benefit greatly in terms of his status.
Ou Yangming nodded and noted, “Brother Tian, I only have one condition—do it fast.”
“Fast?” Tian Yinghao was startled.
“Yes, I hope that you’ll only sell them to the disciples from your sect or those that are willing to fight for your sect,” Ou Yangming explained, “Since you have raw materials here, I’ll refine more interspatial bags for you as soon as possible. As for you, you mustn’t delay any time and must sell them as quickly as you can. It’ll be best if you can sell all of them in a day. As for their prices… I don’t care.”
Tian Yinghao wanted to hit his head into the wall when he saw the look on Ou Yangming’s face while he uttered the words “I don’t care”.
‘Spirit ores—there’ll be tons of spirit ores!
‘Even Sir Venerable One won’t complain about having too many spirit ores, will he?’
Who knew, Ou Yangming requested to have the interspatial bags sold as fast as possible, and he did not request specific amounts of spirit ores. It was simply unbelievable.
Tian Yinghao gulped and stated bitterly, “Brother Ou, if you’d like all of them to be sold within a day, their prices… I’m afraid that they’ll be sold extremely cheap!”
“I told you—I don’t care.” Ou Yangming looked coldly at him. He paused for a moment before he continued, “If you can’t do it, I can look for someone else.”
“Don’t!” Tian Yinghao shrieked and jumped as though he was a rabbit whose tail had just been stepped on. “Brother Ou, wait and see—I’ll complete your task for sure!” Following that, he turned around and left without stopping at all.
Those were interspatial bags, after all. If one sold them without being too fussed about the number of spirit ores they cost, they would be incredibly well-known.
Even the dumbest person would know how to choose at this time.
Ou Yangming shook his head. He figured that Tian Yinghao did not know that the Insects were about to attack, or the man could not have been so cheerful. When the young fellow asked Tian Yinghao to sell the interspatial bags on his behalf, he was not worried that any force would stock them up; he knew Yuqi the Venerable One would definitely handle this well so that more people in need could obtain the interspatial bags before the war. If anyone dared to infuriate the Venerable One at this time, one could imagine the consequences.
The young fellow smiled when he looked at the interspatial materials on the ground. He retrieved corresponding supplementary materials from his interspatial bag, then he used his Military Fire to envelope the sets of materials separately.
Yes, Ou Yangming was no longer content with smithing pieces of equipment one by one.
In particular, for items that he was familiar with, he began to refine several of them in one go.
If other blacksmiths that were adept in refining interspatial bags were here, they would have cursed at him loudly. This was because interspatial materials were rather rare even in the Spiritual Realm, thus they were fully focused every time and dared not be careless at all. They knew very well that even the slightest mistake would cause them to ruin an interspatial bag.
Moreover, those blacksmiths must only refine interspatial bags in their best conditions to slightly increase their success rates.
Interspatial power was one of the mightiest powers in the world. There would always be some disharmony for Spiritualists below the Venerable-One-level to refine pieces of interspatial equipment. Even after exploring for 10,000 years, nobody found a way to improve.
However, the refinement of interspatial bags was not difficult for Ou Yangming. Especially since his mental power merged with his Military Fire, there was almost no difficulty for him to grasp partial space.
Whether he sliced using Rune Powers or wanted to expand the ranges of interspatial bags to their maximum limits, he could achieve them easily.
Ou Yangming exhaled deeply after half an hour. 10 interspatial bags appeared under his feet.
He was unfeeling even after completing everything at such a shocking speed as if it was insignificant, where he simply looked away from the interspatial bags.
After pondering for a brief moment, Ou Yangming retrieved the ancient shield. For some reason, he felt that there was probably a secret behind the round shield and that he would benefit greatly if he could discover the secret.
Ou Yangming could not find anything unusual about the shield even after he studied it for some time. He decided to release his Military Fire after some thought. The young fellow had bought the equipment for only 600 spirit ores, so he considered it the most ordinary equipment if he ignored the fact that it was labeled as a piece of “ancient” equipment.
As such, he did not cherish the equipment at all.
Next, Ou Yangming’s blazing Military Fire enveloped the ancient shield. That said, he began to have a strange look on his face after a while. While looking like he was in disbelief, he actually looked like he was eager to try something too.
