The strange thing was that after such a long time, the red color of the carapace should have gradually dimmed due to the heat dissipating. However, the spider's carapace didn't seem to be affected by the Ape King's concentrated attacks. Even after half a day had passed, it still maintained its bright red heat.
Yue Qianchou understood the reason after pondering for a while. It was probably related to the Ape King's Blazing Fists and the raging flames that surged out of its body. The Ape King moved quickly with flames all over its body. It was as if it was using fire to wrap around the spider's carapace to prevent it from cooling down. In addition to the violent and concentrated Blazing Fists, even a piece of darksteel would be scorched by it.
What a one-track mind! As Yue Qianchou sighed, he glanced at Elder Ancestor Nan Ming and immediately realized that something was wrong. He followed the elder's gaze and also noticed that there was something strange about the pitch-black platform. He transmitted his voice and asked, "Elder Nan Ming, is the platform that withstood the tempering a treasure?"
"I can't tell what it is either, but it must be a treasure to be able to withstand such heavy attacks," Elder Ancestor Nan Ming said with certainty.
Three days passed by just like that. The spider's carapace had long changed beyond recognition. Its huge body that was about ten meters long had become a two-meter square metal block. Even so, the Ape King continued to swing its Blazing Fists. Not only did its momentum not weaken, the sounds became even more intense. Of course, this was related to the shrinking of its body and the shrinking of its range of movement. This way, the intensity of the attacks on the metal block became even more concentrated.
When the sixth day passed, the two-meter square metal block became less than a meter. Yue Qianchou went from being dumbfounded to feeling numb. He couldn't help but admire the Ape King's profound cultivation. This was six consecutive days of intense consumption! Yue Qianchou naturally didn't have the patience and time to stay here and slowly waste his time. Every day, he would go out to deal with his own matters and check out the surrounding terrain.
However, Elder Ancestor Nan Ming's gaze gradually became fiery. He seemed to have understood something. He stared at the gradually shrinking metal block day after day without blinking.
When Yue Qianchou returned from his routine trip, he saw that the Ape King was still swinging its fists like rain. He cursed the Ape King in his heart for not being afraid of dying from exhaustion. After waiting for a while, he felt like he was about to doze off again. When he saw that Grandmaster Nan Ming was full of energy, he sent him a voice transmission out of boredom. "Senior Nan Ming, is there any meaning to this fellow's actions?"
"Yes, of course there is." Grandmaster Nan Ming was a little excited as he transmitted his voice and exclaimed, "So that's how it is! Who would have thought that a stupid method would have its own benefits! Fortunately, he was gifted. If it was someone else, no matter how high their cultivation was, it would be difficult for them to continuously temper themselves and return to their original state! Every time he punches, some of the impurities in the metal will be expelled. If this continues, all the impurities in the metal will be expelled until it can no longer shrink. At that time, what will be left will be the essence of the metal. "
"I see. What are the benefits? "Yue Qianchou asked. He pondered that if the effect was really great, his Gold Incantation should be able to display its usefulness in this aspect. It would be much better than the Ape King's stupid method.
Grandmaster Nan Ming explained excitedly, "You must know that the purer the quality of the material, the stronger its extensibility and capacity. For example, a piece of pig iron, if it hasn't been tempered to remove its impurities, its extensibility will definitely be very poor and it will break easily. However, after being tempered to remove its impurities, you will be able to bend it, but it won't break easily. This is extensibility. In other words, it can contain more formations, and the treasures refined will also be of higher quality. This is a great benefit to the refiner. Moreover, this material is the shell of the Rainbow Temple Spider, which is already abnormally hard. "
His explanation immediately piqued Yue Qianchou's interest. He couldn't help but look forward to the Ape King's early completion. In the end, they waited for the tenth day. As the storm-like Fiery Fists gradually died down, the flames on the Ape King's body also disappeared. Finally, it stopped while sweating profusely and panting. With a pale face, it walked down with a palm-sized piece of metal that was still fiery red. However, its body was a little shaky. It was obvious that it had used up a lot of its cultivation.
"This big spider's body contains a lot of armor essence. In the past, I hunted a thousand ordinary Rainbow Temple Spiders, but the amount of armor essence in one of its bodies was not even as much. Mister Nan Ming, what do you think?" the Ape King said while panting.
Yue Qianchou's gaze was filled with admiration as he looked at the Ape King. At this moment, the consumption of his cultivation was probably eighty to ninety percent of his prime. If he encountered someone with ulterior motives, it could be said to be the most dangerous moment. However, it had no distractions towards the two of them. It was a sincere and magnanimous person, worth associating with.
"Not bad, not bad. Such a good thing can be said to be perfect. It can definitely be used to refine a top-notch treasure." The Nan Ming Patriarch exclaimed in admiration as he held the piece of metal that was gradually cooling. However, he then said with some regret, "It's a pity that there's too little. Otherwise, I would exhaust all my abilities to display my expertise in this and see what kind of good treasure I can refine."
"There's more here!" The Ape King shouted hurriedly. Then, it eagerly took off the vest and boots on its feet and offered them with both hands. "As long as Mister is willing to teach me how to refine treasures, I am willing to give all of these to you."
"Uh …" The Nan Ming Patriarch was stunned. He took the items in the Ape King's hands and compared them. Only then did he realize that they were made of the same material as the piece of metal. In his excitement, he glanced at Yue Qianchou. He seemed to be a little hesitant.
Yue Qianchou chuckled and said, "Brother Ape, the art of refining treasures is Mister Nan Ming's specialty. He usually won't teach it to outsiders. If you acknowledge him as your master, then it'll be a different story." As he spoke, he even gave the Ape King a look.
The Ape King was stunned, but he immediately reacted. He knelt down at the Nan Ming Patriarch and bowed. "Disciple Yuan Hong pays respect to Master."
The Nan Ming Patriarch's expression froze. He transmitted his voice to Yue Qianchou, "This is too childish! His cultivation base is much higher than mine. How can I be his master? "
"You're being pedantic! There's no seniority in learning. The one who's accomplished comes first. Besides, he's not asking you to teach him cultivation. He's learning your skills in refining treasures. In this aspect, you're good enough to be his master. " Yue Qianchou transmitted his voice. "Besides, there's only benefits to you if you can take in a disciple with such a high cultivation base. At the same time, it'll also be beneficial to my future arrangements. Just take it as giving me face and take him in! As for how much you should teach him, it's up to you. No one can force you to do this, right? "
He had his own plans. He had brought the army of Utopia to the Divine Ruin Realm for two reasons. Firstly, he was prepared to use the ferocious beasts in the Divine Ruin Realm to train them. Secondly, he wanted the army to use the training opportunity to collect the inner cores of the ferocious beasts so as to help Bai Suzhen master the Ten Thousand Demon Heart Sutra as soon as possible. However, this area was the Ape King's territory. It would be beneficial for the army of Utopia to have a good relationship with the Ape King. It would be even better if they could take care of him. Just as he was pondering how he could forge a good relationship with the Ape King, the Nan Ming Patriarch's appearance solved the problem.
The Nan Ming Patriarch pondered for a while before freeing one of his hands to help the kneeling Ape King up. "Since that's the case, I'll take you in. Get up!"
"Thank you, Master!" The Ape King cupped his hands in excitement and stood up. He could not suppress the agitation on his face.
Yue Qianchou looked at him and shook his head with a bitter smile. He felt envious and speechless toward this kind of person who was obsessed with something simple and pure. Then, he stretched out his hand and took the Ape King's smelly boots from the Nan Ming Patriarch's hands. He then took out the big spider's jaws. He held one item in each hand and closed his eyes to sense them carefully. The Nan Ming Patriarch and the Ape King looked at him in confusion. They did not know what he was going to do.
"I see. I understand now." After Yue Qianchou felt the difference in the structure of the items in his hands, he opened his eyes and threw the smelly boots in his right hand back to the Nan Ming Patriarch. Then, he activated the Nan Ming Art. The dust from the spider's jaws danced in the air and gradually became smaller. Soon, a small light golden metal ball appeared in his hand.
The Ape King was secretly shocked. He naturally knew how hard the jaws were. They were the hardest part of a spider's body and also the part that contained the densest amount of armor essence. However, he did not expect that they would be turned into ashes in the blink of an eye in Yue Qianchou's hands. It was too terrifying. He did not know how high this person's cultivation was.
That was not all. Yue Qianchou took out the eight spider legs one by one and performed the same Nan Ming Art. In a short while, a total of nine metal balls appeared in his hands. Yue Qianchou held them in one palm and extended them in front of the Nan Ming Patriarch and the Ape King. He asked with a smile, "Master and disciple, take a look. Is this the same thing that Ape … Yuan Hong refined?"
The master and disciple picked up a metal ball suspiciously and examined it. After looking at it, both of them were shocked. The Ape King's face became even paler. He had used his proudest and most capable ability to refine something that he had spent many days to refine, but in the hands of this person, he could do it in just a snap of his fingers. The difference was too big. The Nan Ming Patriarch was flabbergasted. "How did you do it?"
Yue Qianchou did not think much of it and stuffed the nine metal balls into the Nan Ming Patriarch's arms. He said with a smile, "I'll give this to you. Even though it's a little lacking, it shouldn't be a problem to refine this little guy, right? Do me a favor. When you're free, help me refine a good treasure. " As he said this, he pointed at the dark platform and asked the Ape King, "Yuan Hong, what is this? Why does it feel even harder than the Temple Rainbow Spider's armor essence?"
The Nan Ming Patriarch looked over. This was actually a question he wanted to ask as well. The Ape King shook his head. "It is indeed harder than the Temple Rainbow Spider's armor essence, but I don't know what it is. Its original form is a huge meteorite that flew from the heavens and landed nearby. I saw that it contained quite a lot of metal, so I broke the meteorite apart and brought it back in batches to be smelted. I used the same refining method as before and used fifty thousand years on and off. In the end, it ended up like this. "
