Chapter 179 You’re Thinking Too Much

Ni Yinghong smiled sweetly and expressed in a proud tone, “This is Lil’ Ou Sect, and he created it himself!”

Although appraisal arts performed by different appraisers were similar, they did not have a common origin.

Old and experienced appraisers could branch out to their sects in terms of some small details.

Elder Universe was honorably known as the number one appraiser in the prefecture, and his experience was naturally unmatched. Even then, he actually could not identify the legacy of Ou Yangming’s appraisal art. “A self-created sect? Is that true?” The old farmer furrowed his eyebrows and asked. He sounded doubtful, but he thought, ‘This is appraisal art, so how could he have grasped it without a powerful legacy? ‘A self-created sect? Do you think this is martial arts? It’s not like a punch or a kick, where you can say that you came up with it yourself.’

“Senior, I didn’t have a master when I was in

touch with appraisal art,” Ou Yangming responded after he cleared his throat. He explained after some thought, “I previously carried out equipment appraisal with Miss Ni and Zheng Ziwen from the Yi Pavilion. I gained inspiration and had some comprehension in the art, which was why I could come up with an undistinguished appraisal art. Senior, please correct me.”

The old farmer’s face twitched, and he looked like he was in a daze.

‘He was able to apprehend appraisal art himself after watching it several times, and he even created a sect from it.

“Am I the one who’s mad, or are these little devils talking nonsense…’

Nonetheless, after some careful thought, the old farmer realized that Ou Yangming’s appraisal art indeed resembled the line of his and the Yi Pavilion’s, hence he knew Ou Yangming was likely telling the truth. “Young people nowadays are really something…” The old farmer looked deeply at Ou Yangming and waved his hand. “Young fella, let me ask you-what’s appraisal art’s highest aim?”

Ou Yangming was stunned because he had never thought about this question.

He pondered for a brief moment with a grave expression on his face, then his eyes suddenly lit up. “Appraisal art’s highest aim is being able to appraise everything.” The old farmer laughed and asked, “What does everything include?” Ou Yangming turned to look at Ni Yinghong in the hope of getting some clues from her, but she lowered her head and looked down expressionlessly.

Feeling helpless, Ou Yangming answered, “Everything obviously includes every piece of equipment, your products from this medicinal farm, and… You!”

Earlier on, when he used appraisal art on one of the plants here, he found out that the plant was a medicine-a high-level herb with great quality.

“If those are the only things you can appraise, you’re destined to be a craftsman your whole life, and you’ll waste your great talent.” The old farmer shook his head and sighed. He later lifted his hands and turned them above his head, then the wind blew and spiraled around his wrists.

Ou Yangming widened his eyes at once. He fixed his gaze on the elder’s wrists as he sensed the airflow, causing an upsurge of emotions inside him.

Wind. It was wind power, and it was natural wind power that Elder Universe was controlling An image instantly appeared in Ou Yangming’s mind: Big Yellow opened his mouth to breathe out strange power, resulting in countless stalagmites to emerge from the ground. Nevertheless, that was Big Yellow’s gifted power, and it was the unique ability of a half-spirit beast.

This time, Ou Yangming witnessed the power coming from a human.

Numerous images surfaced in his mind, and he felt as though he returned to the spiritual world that he experienced that day.

A wonderful spiritual world was contained in the box from the Ni family’s Land of Inheritance, and Ou Yangming managed to acquire some knowledge from it. Despite that, the knowledge was so profound and mysterious that even if he put his heart and soul into it, it was difficult for him to understand the meaning behind the knowledge.

However, a real example was being presented in front of him at the moment.

A person who had never seen a pig would still be puzzled no matter how vivid one described the animal. In fact, the person might picture a strange living creature and regard it like a pig instead. On the opposite, if someone showed a pig to that person, that person would link it to the knowledge he had and remember the pig well.

The knowledge gained by Ou Yangming in the spiritual world was a strategic outline of everything, but he had to explore the way to put it to use.

After all, he had only entered the spiritual world once. Even if the world contained more mysterious methods, which would help him learn specific means to put the knowledge to use, it was not something he could hope for.

When Ou Yangming saw the wind spiraling around Elder Universe’s wrists, he felt like someone was taking him by his hand to teach him the way to release mental power, the way to resonate with nature’s power, and the way to control the valiant energy. Everything was smoothly laid out in front of him as if the conditions were right.

That said, nobody noticed it.

Even Elder Universe simply controlled the wind around his wrists as he said, “The biggest function of appraisal art is actually to study nature—Heaven and Earth that bore and raised us.”

He slowly raised his tone a little. “Only when your comprehension in nature reaches a certain height, and you have a clear understanding of the power in the world, you’re considered to have superficial knowledge of this art.”

Ni Yinghong watched the process closely and quietly fathomed it. It was clear through her eyes that she was envious.

She wanted to possess the skill to move Heaven and Earth’s power like her master too, but how could it be achieved easily? Her master had taken in many apprentices throughout his life, but the number of those who arrived at this step could be counted with one hand.

How could Heaven and Earth’s way of nature be understood so easily?

The old farmer suddenly turned his wrists faster, and each time he sped up, the wind around his wrists spiraled faster too. It seemed like a mysterious power was connecting them, and the old farmer was the one guiding the power.

He shook his wrists and flicked his hands upward.

A strong wind whistled and soared into the sky at that instant, then it exploded more than ten feet away.

The fierce wind suddenly blew in all directions in mid-air, giving out frightening violent whistles.

Ou Yangming turned a little pale. If he was at where the strong wind burst, he would probably end up in a tragic state.

“Do you understand?” The old farmer asked with a smile.

“I understand,” Ou Yangming answered sternly. “What do you understand?”

“I understand how I should use this power.”

“Uh, what?” The old farmer was dumbfounded, and he looked at Ou Yangming dubiously. ‘I didn’t meet someone who’s all talk but no action, did I?’ “Do you really understand?” “Yes, I really understand.”

Ni Yinghong’s face changed. She tugged Ou Yangming’s sleeve and reminded him subtly, “Brother Ou, let’s ask Master to perform it a few more times!”

The old farmer rolled his eyes and thought, ‘Is she trying to tire me out? Why did I think she was adorable and insisted on taking her as my apprentice… ‘Ah, I was the one who accepted her, so I have to teach her even if I were to do it while I cry.’

“Since you understand it already, put it into action now,” the old farmer quickly said.

Ou Yangming hesitated for a while. “Senior, I’m a Military Fire Blacksmith, and I’m adept in the Military Fire, so I’m more sensitive toward fire mastery’s power.”

“Oh, fire mastery. That works too,” the old farmer casually remarked.

“But fire mastery’s might is the greatest, so I’m afraid…” Ou Yangming mumbled as he looked around him.

“Hmph!” The old farmer commented disdainfully, “Just do it. Since I’m here, what do you have to worry about?”

Ou Yangming’s eyes glowed, and he quickly nodded. “Okay, I’ll give it a go then. If I don’t succeed…”

“You’re thinking too much. Nobody can succeed on the first… Hey?” The old farmer suddenly stopped and looked strangely at Ou Yangming.

Ou Yangming had already curbed his thought by then, and the mental power between his eyebrows was slowly wriggling. In spite of that, its wriggling speed soon overlaid quickly like explosions.

A hint of his mental power left his body, and the purple Military Fire released a peculiar aura almost at the same time.

Once the mental power, which carried the Military Fire’s aura, left his body, it immediately attracted the attention of the outside world’s energy. Ou Yangming seemed to have observed through his consciousness the most wonderful change in the world. The world was filled with various colors, and those red lights in particular were attracted by his mental power.

Therefore, the red lights gushed toward his mental power, causing it to be surrounded by countless red lights in an instant.

Nobody told Ou Yangming about it, but he knew the lights that could be absorbed by the mental power had already achieved saturation. As such, he subconsciously released more mental power.

As more mental power flowed out of his body, he could absorb more red lights.

Without him knowing, he had already released roughly a third of his total mental power.

It was then when he felt that the mental power was already at the controllable limit for him.

If Ou Yangming continued to release more mental power, it might explode uncontrollably at any time. Ou Yangming instantly got rid of the thought of adding more mental power when he thought about the explosive arrow’s fearsome power.

He exhaled deeply to slightly spread out his consciousness, but just as he relaxed his consciousness, he realized that the power, which he had been controlling, became unstable.

“Oh no!’

A thought suddenly crossed his mind-the power was about to explode.

It was Ou Yangming’s first attempt, after all. Even though he could force himself to control the power when he was fully focused, once he was a little distracted, the outcome would be unbearable.

“Throw it away…”

He somehow heard a familiar scream and roar, and the voice sounded like it was full of fear.

Ou Yangming was appalled. Without any hesitation, he decided to wipe out the power with his consciousness, thus he tossed the huge thing, which contained terrifying power, into the sky…
