"Bam, bam, bam…"

Endless fireworks lit up in the sky, causing the whole Beast King Sect to be enveloped in a cheerful atmosphere.

The effect from the fight between the Venerable Ones seemed to have disappeared. In any case, nobody in the sect talked about the matter anymore.

Ou Yangming accompanied Old Craftsman and the 3 ladies to play around in the Beast King Sect. No matter where they wanted to go, they were not obstructed at all. The strictly guarding Beast King Sect, which was known as one of the Humans' Nine Great Sects in Danzhou, was similar to their backyard. It was worth noting that such a treatment was extremely rare.

The young fellow spared some time to converse with the 3 ladies and even held Ni Yinghong's tender hand without avoiding arousing suspicion. Even he did not understand why he would be so direct, but he sensed the complicated looks from Wu Hanning and Bai Shixue at that moment.

Nonetheless, the ladies adjusted mindsets very quickly. Bai Shixue spoke softly, "Brother Ou, congratulations."

Ou Yangming was slightly stunned. "What?"

Bai Shixue pursed her lips and asked, "Given that you opened up this new prospect in the Spiritual Realm, isn't it worth congratulating you for?" Her beauty was as stunning as ever. In particular, her delicate and well-behaved look made her look pitiful.

Far away, some young disciples from the Beast King Sect could not help but feel their hearts ache when they saw her. They wanted very badly to replace Ou Yangming or punch the young fellow, who was clearly an unfaithful man, to vent the lady's anger for her.

Ou Yangming's eyes flickered as he recalled everything that happened after he entered the Spiritual Realm.

When he first came here, he did not have strong backings and was even pursued by Ghost-clawed Venerable One from the Insects. Only when the young fellow displayed his outstanding gift in smithing art and when Feng Xiang came to instantly kill the insect Venerable Ones, he finally gained a firm foothold here.

Everything sounded simple, but who could understand how strenuous the journey had been for him.

Ou Yangming shook his head and cast his thoughts aside. It was not good timing for him to recollect the past on this joyous day.

Even so, Bai Shixue blinked her large eyes, which looked like they could see through one's heart, and uttered softly, "Brother Ou, you worked hard."

The young fellow was dumbfounded. He twitched his mouth slightly and let out a hollow laugh. "Young Pavilion Master, you overstated it."

Bai Shixue curled her lips into a charming smile and asked, "Brother Ou, why have you called me to the Spiritual Realm? Do you have any arrangements for me"

Ou Yangming opened his mouth but thought, 'What kind of arrangements can I have for you? Wu Yuanwei was the one that acted on his accord.' Nevertheless, although he was not a love master, he was smart enough to know that he must not respond like that at this moment.

Seeing as Ou Yangming was hesitant to speak, Bai Shixue said with a smile, "Brother Ou, what's there to feel embarrassed about? Since you want to make a difference in the Spiritual Realm, you naturally need someone to take care of everything for you." She lifted her head proudly before she continued, "I admit that I'm not their competitor in terms of martial arts cultivation base, but I can definitely serve as your proxy."

The young fellow recalled how Bai Shixue made overall arrangements in the lower realm. He remarked sincerely, "Young Pavilion Master, I've always trusted your abilities."

Bai Shixue pursed her lips and smiled. "Alright, since you're satisfied, you can leave those things to me."

Ou Yangming was struck dumb. "What things?"

Ni Yinghong nudged him gently and told him, "If you have pieces of equipment that you refined but don't need or things that aren't valuable, you can pass them to Elder Sister Bai for her to arrange them."

Ou Yangming slapped his forehead and chuckled. "That'll be easy. Don't you just need some pieces of equipment? I have as many as you want. This will also be a perfect chance for me to test the market."

The young fellow was secretly glad that Bai Shixue brought this up herself, or he would not have known how to deal with the matter. With the young lady as his helper, he no longer needed to care about his many external affairs in the Spiritual Realm.

Wu Hanning had been keeping quiet during this time. She suddenly asked, "Brother Ou, what about me?"

Ou Yangming gasped and thought, 'Worrying about something really makes it happen.' He was somewhat mad at Wu Yuanwei.

'I'm not against you bringing them to the Spiritual Realm, but you shouldn't have had all of them here sent here at the same time!'

Just as Ou Yangming was feeling hesitant, Ni Yinghong chuckled. "Elder Sister Wu's a cultivation genius and is tremendously gifted. Since she has come to the Spiritual Realm, her natural gift mustn't go to waste." She paused for a while before she asked, "Elder Sister, if you don't mind my poor qualification, how about you cultivate with me?"

Wu Hanning looked deeply at Ni Yinghong and replied to her, "Thank you, Younger Sister."

"Hehe, it's great to cultivate together." Old Craftsman smiled with his eyes squinted, then he suddenly added, "Let's compete and see who will enter Extreme Grade first."

Ou Yangming and the 3 ladies looked at each other and were speechless.

Even though Ni Yinghong and the 2 other ladies were not aware of the agreement between Ou Yangming and Yuqi the Venerable One, they knew Old Craftsman was not a genius in martial arts.

Having said that, since Yuqi the Venerable One made such a comment, he must have his reason. Furthermore, the smart ladies knew given that the Venerable One was the one that said it, Old Craftsman would certainly be able to enter Extreme Grade no matter what.

This was the Spiritual Realm, after all. Even if one was given plenty of resources, one could easily become an Extreme Grade cultivator.

Needless to say, such a Spirit Grade cultivator would not have much potential.

However, if Old Craftsman were to advance into a Spiritualist… That would be nonsense, and nobody would believe it.

"Hehe, Master Ou, are you planning to start an equipment business?" Yuqi the Venerable One paced over to them. He would not eavesdrop on their conversation, but Ou Yangming and the others did not try to avoid anything when they conversed. As such, given the Venerable One's hearing, it would be quite difficult for him to not overhear what they were talking about.

Ou Yangming turned around and chuckled. "I have this plan indeed. Do you have any suggestions, Yuqi the Venerable One?"

He was only casually asking, but Yuqi the Venerable One immediately answered, "Equipment business is a huge business. If you'd like to do it, can we bask in your light too? What do you think if the Beast King Sect wants to become a shareholder?"

The young fellow was surprised. 'A formidable sect like the Beast King Sect is actually willing to get involved in such a small business?'

He also understood that Yuqi the Venerable One was expressing goodwill, but the Venerable One had done enough today.

Despite that, he could not understand the Venerable One's mood at this time.

Without the people from Mount Wuzhi and Master Kurong, as much as Yuqi the Venerable One valued Ou Yangming, he would not have gone this far. After all, a Venerable One should care about one's image.

Nonetheless, Master Kurong came to the Beast King Sect for Ou Yangming. Yuqi the Venerable One could not perceive the master's thoughts, but he felt a strong sense of crisis. If the young fellow ended up leaving and chose Mount Wuzhi, would it not mean that the Beast King Sect would be giving someone else their chance of rising?

Yuqi the Venerable One was also a hero of this generation, thus he instantly made up his mind. Not only did he humble himself completely to become acquainted with Old Craftsman in any way he could, but he also wanted to cooperate with Ou Yangming comprehensively. The Venerable One wanted to keep the young fellow in the Beast King Sect without giving him a chance to jump away.

Master Kurong glanced at Yuqi the Venerable One and seemed to have seen through his thought, but he neither stopped the Venerable One nor got involved. This was the Beast King Sect, after all. Even if the master had a similar thought, he would not act at this moment.

Bai Shixue squinted her eyes a little. It was her first time in the Spiritual Realm, but running a business in the Spiritual Realm was somewhat similar to doing it in the lower realm. Therefore, she knew better than Ou Yangming how lucky and rare it would be to have a great partner. An overly powerful partner might not affect anything, but the young lady knew that the young fellow could suppress everyone's greed if he could continue to grow.

As for herself, she had unexplainable confidence in Ou Yangming.

Of course, she would respect Ou Yangming's decision no matter what and would not pressure him at all.

Ou Yangming could sense Bai Shixue looking eagerly at him. He pondered for a while and said, "Young Pavilion Master, I'll leave everything to you."

Bai Shixue was elated. She nodded hard and assured the young fellow. "Brother Ou, don't worry, I won't let you down for sure." The young lady's eyes were filled with splendid colors. While she was not favored by Ou Yangming, the fact that she could still show her prowess in the Spiritual Realm made her feel like her trip here was not in vain.

One should always seek greater heights. As compared to the lower realm, she was more fond of the Spiritual Realm's atmosphere and prosperity.

At the spur of the moment, Master Kurong spoke, "Master Ou, I heard that you have an incredibly high level of attainment in smithing art." He stared at Ou Yangming and asked, "A Heavenly Phoenix Fire's also known to be a first-class holy fire for equipment smithing in the world. Am I lucky enough to have a look at it?"

Before Ou Yangming could answer, the old macaque answered, "Kurong, don't anyhow give praises. Hehe, who doesn't know that you're Danzhou's best smithing master? Master Ou might possess a Heavenly Phoenix Fire, but he's still young, after all, so how can he compare with you?"

Ou Yangming raised his eyebrow and looked at Master Kurong in shock.

It turned out that the elder was not only profound in martial arts, but he was also crowned as the best smithing master in Danzhou.

He was also a blacksmith, so he was naturally curious about other potent blacksmiths.

Master Kurong expressed, "Old Macaque, I only want to witness his Heavenly Phoenix Fire. I don't mean anything else, so you don't need to be so nervous."

The old macaque scoffed and mumbled, "It's only natural to guard against an uninvited guest."

Master Kurong could not help but laugh, but he did not take the old macaque's mockery to heart.

Yuqi the Venerable One took a step forward and noted in a deep voice, "Master Kurong, the Beast King Sect has decided to ask Ou Yangming to represent Danzhou in the Big Smithing Competition against Zhangzhou. What do you think about this?"
