Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 464

Chapter 464

Chui Yim didn’t have any relatives in South Imperial City. Similarly reincarnated from the Swallow Continent, he and Kam Chin Kee had formed a bond closer than blood brothers.

But Kam Chin Kee wasn’t the one he knew the longest, Lam Ming Sum and Chor Shing Chit were. The former was brought away by Kan Hang previously and they were separated for about a year, thus he and Chor Shing Chit spent the most time and went through the most together.

Being hunted down by Chan Shue Gun in Southary, taking a risk and tattooing a gliph onto Chor Shing Chit with rock, coming across the beast wave in Engraved Village, taking a stop at Night Lion City and Southern Ping…

They had so many memories together.

Even after returning to South Imperial City and becoming the new Young Master Chor after his father, Chor Chun Ping’s, clan leader appointment, Chor Shing Chit paid a visit to Chui Yim’s residence at least once a week with the excuse of coming for a meal.

Chor Shing Chit was a taciturn man who didn’t like to talk, only smiling gently while he listened to Chui Yim rambled on. He would always leave after the meal, but Chui Yim, who had reincarnated, knew it was a sign that Chor Shing Chit valued their friendship.

Now, Chor Shing Chit only watched Chui Yim silently as the latter stepped into the classroom. This was him about a decade ago.

A decade later, he was a teacher who once taught in a deserted area, and his very close friend was now walking into the supreme hall he once did.

Chui Yim similarly did not say anything and stepped into the room.

He felt a kind of pity. As a princess, it would be tough for Lam Ming Sum to appear during such an event. His father as well; it would be perfect if his father was here.

He stopped before the door and looked up to the ordinary room. This nameless classroom was his goal that he painstakingly chased starting all the way from Southary.

After the short pause, he made his way into the room.

That instant, he heard a voice ring across the room. “Little Brother Chui! Good luck!” The voice seemed to come from afar, but it was soon muffled as if the person’s mouth was being covered and he was struggling.

Chui Yim was right. In front of the painting, Hui Sai Cheong was being pulled back with his mouth covered by Wong Kei and Yim Mo Chiu. Sung Tsz Hin turned to him angrily. “Junior Brother, behave yourself.”

This pulled Hui Sai Cheong out of his fantasy and he apologized softly. “I’m sorry.” Even so, he still stared at Chui Yim in the painting and cheered for him silently. Good Luck, Little Brother Chui! I am still waiting for you to become my saviour!

Chui Yim looked around and laughed. He was able to recognize that it was Hui Sai Cheong. “Of course! Let’s drink until the next morning when I’m selected!”

Excitement filled Hui Sai Cheong slowly, and Sung Tsz Hin stared at him helplessly. “I’m going to let Master know if this continues, Junior Brother.”

Hui Sai Cheong immediately lowered his head silently.

Chui Yim hesitated no more and focused on what he was about to do. Ever since he entered the room, he felt that his mind was clear, and there seemed to be ideas surging into his mind again and again.

Boom! Chui Yim waved his hands and the Divine Bracelet of Five Elements on his wrist shone, a giant item dropping to the ground.

The item had nine legs in the shape of nine blazing red dragon tails.

Steady, glowing, and proud. The different auras congealed into an item and seemed to be alive. It was as if the dragons were flashing their sharp teeth.

“Oh?” Sung Tsz Hin was slightly shocked. “Alchemy?”

Wat Suen took another look, focusing on the situation.

Hui Sai Cheong frowned with worry. “Why isn’t Little Brother Chui going to forge? That’s what he’s best at!”

On the other hand, the brilliant Yim Mo Chiu from Blazing Skies Mountain quickly understood the situation. “Legends have it that there’s a powerful cauldron made of fire-forging with a powerful flame in the world and took the form of nine dragons gathering around a flame. It’s known as the Nine-Dragon Flame Gathering Cauldron, an ancient divine cauldron. Its terrifying temperature can destroy everything even if it was lit with simple fire.

“When it’s refining pills and elixirs with strong attributes, it will improve the effect.”

Sung Tsz Hin only frowned. No matter how powerful the cauldron was, he did not believe in how powerful Chui Yim’s skills could be. Or had he already reached the great master state with his alchemy skills?

Chui Yim already had an idea of what he wanted to do for Cloud Palace.

After reincarnating to this world, Chui Yim had picked up many subjects.

He was already at the great master state for medicine, which he learnt from Chui Tin and Ping Chi.

He also had a strong foundation in gliphism and the huge stack of profound gliphs was still in his Divine Bracelet of Five Elements. He was no weaker than any of the talents of his generation.

His alchemy might not have reached the great master state, but Chui Yim had already tried to refine grade-two pills. Adding on how Ping Chi arranged for him to watch the inter-school exchange, Chui Yim improved rapidly.

As for martial arts, he was an unpolished jade with immature techniques thanks to his monstrous body that he gained after his heart chamber and Heaven’s Flame fused. Adding on the True Domineer technique created by Wong Ba, a powerful one-chambered glipher who was invincible even against three-chambered cultivators, he was good enough that, even if he failed the Cloud Palace enrollment, he still had the Metallic Blood War Gate waiting to take him in as Lung Wai Yuet’s direct disciple.

All of these were his playing cards, but there could only be one ace.

And it was definitely forging.

He was outstanding in other areas, but invincible in forging.

Chui Yim had long decided to forge for the Cloud Trials.

At this moment, he was reminded of Chor Huet Zhin.

“I’ll lend you a million silver taels, which you must repay within a year. But if you can’t pay us back with a top-tier grade three gliph weapon within a year, you’ll have to help Shing Chit tattoo all his gliphs when he breaks through in the future.”

“Fair enough.” Chor Huet Zhin smiled gently and flickered his finger at Chui Yim, sending the Bloody War Strike intent into Chui Yim’s memory.

He never forgot about this promise. If not for the Bloody War Strike, he would never have been able to tear the hole open when he broke through his innate chamber and let the Heaven’s Flame wreak havoc in his body.

“Grade three weapon?” Chui Yim mumbled to himself. “Simple!”

In the entire world, Chui Yim might’ve been the only blacksmith who just broke through his innate chamber who dared to make such a comment! Looking at the cauldron in front of him, Chui Yim smirked. He was in a better state than before, and his head was so clear that he had many ideas surging into his brain.

“I’m in a great state, and it’s time to prove my guess.”

Chui Yim wore an excited, or rather a fanatic expression on his face – the same madness he had when he chopped off one of his arms for a divine weapon!

“I’m going to forge!”
