The Divine Weapon, the Ouyang Hammer!

When it comes to Ouyang Hammer, everyone in the Three Continents knows him!

The Ouyang Hammer is a token of the Ouyang Lineage. Legend has it that during Ouyang Ming's most impoverished years, he gave the Ouyang Hammer to someone he sought help from.

He promised that Future the Ouyang Lineage rises again, anyone who brings the Ouyang Hammer to him, Ouyang Ming, will have a divine weapon forged for them!

Doesn't that sound incredibly appealing?

But as it turned out, it wasn't appealing at all, because back then, who could believe that Ouyang Ming could become the world's number one weapon-refining master?

Therefore, the Ouyang Hammer was initially used by various parties to ridicule the Ouyang Lineage.

After all, look at the pathetic state Ouyang Ming was in back then... do you really think you could believe his Ouyang Hammer would be effective?

Therefore, whenever Ouyang Ming offered up his Ouyang Hammer in exchange for a full meal, he would be ridiculed along with the Ouyang Hammer.

Look at Ouyang Hammer, isn't that just scrap metal?

Look at the state of Ouyang Lineage... You don't even know when they'll be wiped out. In this situation, tell me, what the hell is the use of something like the Ouyang Hammer, which nobody would even buy as scrap metal?

Therefore, when Ouyang Hammer first appeared, its main purpose was to be used by various parties to ridicule the Ouyang Lineage.

Everyone commented, "Look at this, this is the Ouyang Lineage... they've fallen to such a state..."

At that time, even if someone accepted Ouyang Ming's Ouyang Hammer, there were probably only two kinds of people. The first kind was someone who simply used the thing to mock Ouyang Ming... purely for mockery.

The second type consists of Lineage with ties to the Ouyang Lineage in the past. They couldn't bear to see the Ouyang Lineage fall into such a state of decline. Even though Ouyang Hammer was considered worthless in their eyes, they still helped the Ouyang Lineage, at least ensuring Ouyang Lineage had enough to eat...

What the heck? Saying you're only half full is a bit of an exaggeration, isn't it?

Brother... this is the Ouyang Lineage... you think you've done more than enough by only feeding us half full?

Just when everyone thought that Ouyang Hammer was definitely a piece of junk and no one took Ouyang Ming's promise seriously.

Who would have thought that the entire Ouyang Lineage would enter the Vast Heaven Holy Land?

Even then, no one paid any attention to Ouyang Hammer, because everyone's first reaction upon hearing that the Ouyang Lineage had entered the Vast Heaven Sect was, "Has the Vast Heaven Sect been scammed by the Ouyang Lineage?"

Is Chu Xinghe really not going to bring disaster to the Vast Heaven Sect?

However, the Ouyang Lineage's subsequent actions proved to everyone that although they might lower their moral standards, their weapon-refining abilities were truly the absolute limit.

With the rapid rise of the Ouyang Lineage, Ouyang Ming's promise, which everyone once considered a joke, is no longer a joke...

At that moment, someone suddenly appeared with Ouyang Hammer and found Ouyang Mian. This person was a minor Rogue Cultivator.

This rogue Rogue Cultivator obtained the Ouyang Hammer from a Lineage that had acquired it to mock the Ouyang Hammer Ouyang Lineage.

At the time, the Lineage considered the Ouyang Hammer a piece of junk and was about to throw it away, but this rogue Rogue Cultivator, who had a penchant for collecting strange items, spent a spirit stone to buy the Ouyang Hammer.

A spirit stone... that was definitely a high price back then...

After all, if you use a spirit stone to buy scrap metal, you could kill someone with it...

You're telling me, what's the point of buying a broken Ouyang Hammer for a spirit stone?

But who could have imagined that it was this one spirit stone that bought the Ouyang Hammer, allowing this rogue Rogue Cultivator to defy fate?

After this rogue Rogue Cultivator gained fame in the Ouyang Lineage, he was the first to arrive at the Vast Heaven Holy Land with the Ouyang Hammer, where he found Ouyang Ming and asked him if the promise made regarding the Ouyang Hammer was valid.

To be honest, this Rogue Cultivator didn't have any hope when he came. After all, it's a bit much to expect Ouyang Ming to help you with something you bought for a single spirit stone.

At the time, the Rogue Cultivator thought, "If all else fails, we can get Ouyang Ming to give us ten or eight spirit stones. That would be a profit, right?"

But what this Rogue Cultivator never dreamed of was that when he saw the Ouyang Hammer, Ouyang Ming immediately declared, "My Ouyang Ming always stand. And because you are the first person to come to me with the Ouyang Ming Ouyang Hammer to fulfill my promise, I will not only tailor-make a divine weapon for you, but I will also provide all the materials for you."

Then, to the near disbelief of this rogue Rogue Cultivator, Ouyang Ming personally crafted a curved blade named Cold Moon for him. This Cold Moon blade directly reached the level of a divine artifact. Not only that, Ouyang Ming also had his sister Ouyang Ling, imbue the Cold Moon Sacred Heart Spirit Imbuing.

This also gave Cold Moon the ability to grow.

After obtaining Cold Moon, this rogue Rogue Cultivator not only broke through his cultivation level in one fell swoop, but also continued to improve with Cold Moon's help. Although he is no longer able to compete with the geniuses in the Three Continents, he has joined a major sect and become a core disciple!

This rogue Rogue Cultivator's talent is passable, but normally, someone like him would probably only achieve a little bit of fame in certain places in his life, which would be considered a success.

But it was thanks to the Cold Moon, tailor-made for him by Ouyang Ming, that this rogue Rogue Cultivator truly managed to defy fate and change his destiny.

This news shocked the entire Blazing Sun Continent!

Everyone then realized, Ouyang Ming, you're serious!

In an instant, the Ouyang Hammer transformed from scrap metal into the Ouyang Lineage's most prized possession...

Once you obtain the Ouyang Hammer, you've essentially obtained Ouyang Ming's promise.

Good heavens! The Ouyang Hammer, which was once worth a fortune for a single spirit stone, has seen its price skyrocket to an unimaginable level overnight!

After all, as long as you have this item, Ouyang Ming will do his best to help you once, free of charge.

That's Ouyang Ming... As everyone knows, Ouyang Ming would never easily forge divine weapons for any outsider; Ouyang Ming only meticulously crafted divine weapons for the disciples of the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

Ouyang Ming once said that he would never forge any divine weapon for outsiders, and even the elders of the Vast Heaven Holy Land would not allow Ouyang Ming to easily forge weapons for people outside the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

After all, Ouyang Ming's status is different from that of ordinary disciples. Although Ouyang Ming still refers to himself as a disciple, everyone knows that Ouyang Ming is actually equivalent to the head of the Artifact Refining Palace.

Ouyang Ming's position as the chief elder is unshakeable. The reason why Ouyang Ming is only a disciple and not an elder is mainly because Vast Heaven Holy Land intends to entrust Chu Xinghe with the matter of Ouyang Ming's Future promotion to elder.

After all, Ouyang Ming was personally trained by Chu Xinghe, and he was the only one to receive a courtesy name bestowed by Chu Xinghe.

The name Ouyang Pixiu is renowned throughout Three Continents.

Moreover, Ouyang Ming once said, "Even if I wanted to help you forge divine weapons, how many people could afford to pay me?"

That's absolutely true.

Go ask around; even the masters at the very bottom of the weapon-forging rankings charge you a staggering price for a single forgery.

Moreover, there's no guarantee of quality or success rate; whether it succeeds or not depends entirely on your luck.

As for those masters who can guarantee the creation of sacred artifacts, their prices are so high that even Zheng Yu would shake his head upon hearing them.

Although Martial Emperor City has some money now, it's not to the point where these masters can squander it at will.

As for those masters who have a chance of creating divine artifacts, to put it bluntly, you can no longer simply pay them to do it.

For example, the Master Duanshui Master Duanshui a 50% chance of creating a divine artifact.

What the heck? Isn't half a percent a bit too low?

Brother... don't look at normal weapon refiners with the eyes of a beast like Ouyang Ming.

A weapon refiner has a 50% chance of creating a divine weapon, which is already an incredibly high success rate.

Regardless of his own abilities, the various blessings bestowed upon him by the Vast Heaven Holy Land, and the bestowal of a title by Chu Xinghe, Ouyang Ming's abilities are simply incomparable to those of ordinary people.

So the success rate of the Master Duanshui is already incredibly high, even at half-percent.

If you want to have Master Duanshui forge a divine weapon, it's not just a matter of money... it requires connections.

When someone's status and abilities reach the level of Master Duanshui, would they lack money?

Go take a look at the entrance of Master Duanshui Shui's residence. Countless people kneel down every day, offering Master Duanshui resources...

Master Duanshui wants resources, he only needs to nod his head, and countless resources will be showered upon him in no time.

Therefore, to commission someone like Master Duanshui to forge a spiritual treasure, not only is an exorbitant price required, but also personal connections!

Even with favors, Master Duanshui's prices are still outrageously high. I've heard that the price Master Duanshui for crafting a single spiritual treasure is enough for hundreds of ordinary cultivators to earn in a lifetime.

However, as everyone knows, a magical treasure can sometimes truly defy fate and even nurture a prodigy. Therefore, despite the astonishing price of Master Duanshui, countless people still spare no expense to ask him to make a move every year.

As everyone knows, when Ouyang Ming gets serious, getting a divine artifact is not difficult at all. No one knows the exact probability of Ouyang Ming getting a divine artifact, but everyone knows that as long as Chu Xinghe arranges it, Ouyang Ming will definitely get a divine artifact. Therefore, some people speculate that the probability of Ouyang Ming getting a divine artifact may reach a terrifying 60% or more.

In this situation, Ouyang Ming's words were perfectly correct...

Even if I wanted to take on outside jobs, could you afford the price?

You've already charged that price for the Master Duanshui, what price are you going to charge me for Ouyang Ming?

Ouyang Ming can forge divine weapons with almost effortless skill; even if he fails, they're still top-tier sacred artifacts... What price would it cost to get Ouyang Ming to take action?

Therefore, Ouyang Ming has always been a limited edition from the Vast Heaven Holy Land!

It's virtually impossible for outsiders to get Ouyang Ming to take action!

The Ouyang Hammer, once a laughingstock, has become the only super artifact in the world that Ouyang Ming can forge for you for free, guaranteeing a divine weapon.

Because Ouyang Ming that if the forging fails, Ouyang Ming will provide all the materials and continue to forge it successfully for you.

Therefore, in a short period of time, the price of Ouyang Hammer soared to an unimaginable level.

The Ouyang Hammer was no longer a joke, but a divine object coveted by everyone in the world, because a single Ouyang Hammer represented a peerless divine weapon, and a custom-made one at that!

What kind of divine weapon is a perfect match for its master?

Without a doubt, it's a tailor-made version.

Just when the whole world was going crazy for Ouyang Hammer, everyone discovered that Ouyang Hammers... were incredibly rare...

It wasn't that Ouyang Ming gave away a small number of Ouyang Hammers; rather, nobody thought they were absolutely useless, so they were basically all just thrown away...

Now that the price of the Ouyang Hammer has skyrocketed to its peak, all the factions that lost the Ouyang Hammer are crying their eyes out!

You think you're throwing away scrap metal, but you're actually throwing away a super powerful weapon!

(To those friends who criticize me for padding the story, I'm really having a hard time. How can a story be engaging without sufficient buildup? Writing and reading are different. When you read, you want to know the ending immediately, but when I write a story, I need to add background information and various settings for each character and plot point. These are all necessary. Even when writing one plot point, I need to lay the groundwork for the next and the one after that. A story without buildup is very abrupt. Every character needs their own story and background to be vivid. So sometimes, it's not that I'm padding the story. Tomato doesn't make money from word count, so what's the point of padding? If today...) If Mu Qingyan appears, and Mu Qingyan storyline ends tomorrow, wouldn't that be strange? Therefore, I assure everyone that every character and every plot point has a purpose; some foreshadowing is revealed in the short term, while others take longer to show! Okay, I've said too much.
