Old Craftsman and Ni Yunhong were holding an ore each in the Ni residence's smithing workshop as they used their tricks to inspect the ores' properties. They were very much far in age, but they had their strong points in smithing art. The longer the old man and the young master held the ores, the more elated they looked.
Ou Yangming was not surprised at all when he saw their expressions.
This was because he was also moved by the ores' properties when he first stumbled upon them.
The fact that the Black Magic Crawlers could not cause much damage to the ores with their sharp mouthparts proved that the ores were exceptionally rare.
When Ou Yangming later smithed the pieces of equipment in the cave, he experienced deeply the mightiness of the materials.
He did not know where exactly the materials came from, but he knew very well that they were his only chance of smithing pieces of extraordinary equipment.
