Ou Yangming was slightly stunned, and he did not know to cry or to laugh. "Elder Bai, I wasn't being rude and overstepping boundaries, was I?"
Bai Zhiyi stroked his long beard and responded rather proudly, "Hehe, I was only kidding." He thought, 'You didn't overstep boundaries, but your abilities are too huge of a blow.'
He shook his head and said, "Lil' Ou, different families and sects have their unique techniques to smith pieces of Dual Skill Equipment." He continued after some thought, "According to reason, I can't teach you before you join the Beast King Sect, but since you're willing to pass the Poisonous Gas Diffusion to my sect, I'll make an exception this time."
Ou Yangming's face changed, and he asked in a deep voice, "Elder Bai, if I learn this skill, does it mean that I must join the beast King Sect?"
