Chapter 591: Innate Skills

Mount Liang Wolf King swung its neck and answered seriously, “1,300 spirit ores. What do you think?”

Ou Yangming was deep in his thoughts. He still remembered well the competition for the equipment on the crystal wall before this.

In the end, the successful bid made by the spirit elephant was 1,800 spirit ores. It seemed like a much higher offer than that made by Mount Liang Wolf King, but the armor was smithed according to the size of gigantic spirit beasts. Apart from using a Tremendous Power Treasure Ore, Ou Yangming’s consumption was far less than that armor in terms of materials or the energy needed to carve a rune.

Therefore, the price offered by the spirit wolf was relatively fair.

This was also evident from how resentful the other similar-sized high-rank spirit beasts looked.

Ou Yangming nodded and looked deeply at the spirit wolf. “Wolf King, you’re very considerate.”

Mount Liang Wolf King flashed a big smile and laughed cheerfully.

After putting on the equipment earlier, it did not want to remove it anymore. Nonetheless, unless it was really tired of leaving, it would not act so abominably.

Ou Yangming signaled Big Yellow with his eyes. The big yellow dog was reluctant, but it still moved its leg aside and kicked the armor to Mount Liang Wolf King.

The wolf king’s eyes lit up. It carefully picked up the equipment and wore it right away. As compared to Big Yellow, which casually kicked the armor, it regarded the equipment as a precious treasure.

Mount Liang Wolf King turned several rounds then retrieved an interspatial bag when it was content. “Master Ou, I’ll give you your spirit ores.”

Ou Yangming retrieved an interspatial bag too and transferred the agreed number of spirit ores over.

He had seen a spirit ore in the lower realm, and he was rather envious and curious about the enormous power that it contained. Even so, spirit ores were scarce in the lower realm and could basically be ignored. It was only when he entered the Spiritual Realm he realized that there were so many spirit ores that they could be used as a currency.

Having said that, those that could use this currency were not ordinary people but real elites.

After counting the spirit ores, Ou Yangming wondered and uttered, “Wolf King.”

Mount Liang Wolf King responded immediately, “Master Ou, what do you need?”

When Ou Yangming first entered this place, the spirit wolf had simply addressed him as a young human fellow, but its attitude now changed drastically.

Ou Yangming grinned and asked, “Wolf King, do you want an exclusive piece of equipment?”

“Exclusive?” Mount Liang Wolf King’s eyes lit up right away. “You can smith customized pieces of equipment?”

“Why not?” Seeing how surprised it was, Ou Yangming could not help but ask. He was moved when he thought about the odd auction mode held by the blacksmiths beyond the crystal wall, and he was secretly wary. ‘Are there taboos when one smiths personalized pieces of equipment for spirit beasts?’

Mount Liang Wolf King blinked its glimmering eyes and replied to him, “Master Ou, to us, exclusive pieces of equipment need to have more than just ordinary attributes.” It waved its sharp claws and added, “We need booster skills that can increase our combat powers.”

Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows and came to a sudden realization.

It would be brilliant if low-rank spirit beasts acquire magic tools, but when spirit beasts upgraded to the high rank, they no longer yearned for ordinary magic tools; they needed at least mini top-grade tools.

As for dedicated pieces of equipment, the spirit beasts had higher requests—even for the skills.

Even though there were plenty of human blacksmiths, other than Ou Yangming, who was a freak that possessed the Military Fire, it would be difficult to grasp runes.

A smithing master might have smithing art attainments for a century but certainly did not master many runes. Since high-rank spirit beasts also required all sorts of weird skills, none of the blacksmiths dared to guarantee that they could carve suitable Skill Runes.

This was why powerful blacksmiths would rather smith quietly and do their best to carve popular Skill Runes on pieces of equipment, which would then be competed for by the high-rank spirit beasts.

Ou Yangming could tell from Mount Liang Wolf King’s highly-spirited eyes that the high-rank spirit beasts hoped for tailored pieces of equipment, but they were left with no choice as they were powerless in this. As such, they could only quietly wait for the displays on the crystal wall and bid for pieces of equipment that would fit them.

However, the difficulties were not an issue for Ou Yangming at all.

“Wolf King, are you willing to try?” Ou Yangming asked while he smiled with his eyes narrowed.

Mount Liang Wolf King answered without any hesitation, “As long as you’re willing to, what else can I say, Master Ou?”

The other high-rank spirit beasts cast envious looks at the spirit wolf. After all, blacksmiths that were willing to customize pieces of equipment for high-rank spirit beasts were getting lesser and lesser. If they could meet one, they would be willing to pay any price.

Ou Yangming nodded and said, “Come with me.”

He turned around and walked down the mountain. Although he could not climb to the top yet, he was not stopped if he wanted to walk downwards.

Mount Liang Wolf King turned around and looked proudly at the spirit beasts around it before it followed the young fellow happily. As for Big Yellow, it shook its body and followed them in high spirits.

Many high-rank spirit beasts exchanged glances. They natur
