Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 80

Chapter 80

The next day, Chui Yim woke up with a sharp and heavy head.

Ah Without Lam Ming, theres no one to moderate how much I drink. I shouldnt have drunk that much. 

Thats how we humans are. I was bothered and found her nagging a pain in my ear, but when shes actually gone and I can drink as much as I want, I suddenly miss that fella  instead. 

Brother, how are you feeling? A person appeared in front of Chui Yim, causing him to jump and scream in surprise. 

Bang! Their heads collided, followed by two miserable shrieks as both parties held their heads in pain. 

Who are you! Chui Yim asked in anger. Do you think Im a pushover! Scaring me while Im hungover! 

The other party felt the pain too, but he couldnt care less. Little brother, did you forget about me? Im the one who drank with you yesterday! 

Furrowing his thick eyebrows, Chui Yim turned towards Chor Shing Chit and Bak Wun. However, Chor Shing Chit minded his own business, paying them no attention, leaving Bak Wun, who sat on the table uglily, swinging his legs. He even carried you back yesterday. You really dont know how to control yourself, huh? Dont even think of drinking in the future. 

Chui Yims face fell on hearing this. Another one who is here to control me. But very soon, Chui Yim recognised the person. Yeah, I remember you. Brother, we indeed hit it off, but theres no need to follow me back! 

Hearing Chui Yim, the teenager immediately pulled open his robe. Chui Yim covered his eyes immediately, screaming like a girl. Brother! Calm down! I am not someone who swings that way! 

Its not that! What did you mean when you said that I was poisoned? 

Chui Yims eyes peeked through his fingers at the teenagers words.

The teenager was currently lying on his bed, half-naked. Chui Yim felt much better after some hangover tea. He frowned after checking the teenagers pulse and placed his index and middle finger together, sticking them out. Excuse me. 

Chui Yim pressed down on the teenagers chest, going from spot to spot as if searching for something. It was a nauseous feeling, and the teenager knew that there might be something wrong with him as he kept quiet. There was nothing he could do; he could only give it a try even though it was a kiddish-looking teenager who was helping him. 

Do I have any other choice? 

After some time, Chui Yim stopped at a spot between his heart and armpit, pressing down hard. 

Ahh! Experiencing sharp pain, the teenager shot up. He caught his breath and turned to Chui Yim in disbelief. What What was that? 

Just like what I said when I was drunk yesterday, youve been poisoned, Chui Yim said calmly. 

This piece of information left the teenager thunderstruck. He stood there in a daze as Chui Yim wiped his hands with a cloth by his side.

Im not knowledgeable enough, so all my conclusions are theory-based. But now, all evidenceyour pulse, complexion and the location of poisonmatch the descriptions of a poison in a book I once read. Thus I conclude that youve been poisoned with the snow centipedes dissolved tendon powder, Chui Yim said firmly despite keeping some doubts in his words. 

This shocked Bak Wun, the most experienced person in the room. Ive heard of dissolved tendon powder, but not the snow centipedes dissolved tendon powder. 

Dissolved tendon powder is a common poison that is soluble in water. It can make a persons limbs feel weak, but its has little effect on gliphers. The pros of the poison is that it has great compatibility. Theres a book, Everythingyou can do with dissolved tendon powder, which was written by a famous doctor who spent his life researching how many other medications dissolved tendon powder can work with. One of them is specially targeted at gliphers, the snow centipedes dissolved tendon powder. 

Its named after its main ingredient, a gliphic beast from the Northern land of ice and snow, the snow centipede. Snow centipedes are pounded into powder and mixed with dissolved tendon powder, giving rise to the snow centipedes dissolved tendon powder. 

The usage of the snow centipedes dissolved tendon powder is to absorb the energliph in your body. If one consumes it for a long time, poison lumps will form in the body, and all the energliph cultivated will be absorbed by it, feeding it. Chui Yim frowned, looking disgusted with the poison. He then turned towards the teenager who was currently dumbstruck with a serious look. Youre lucky to have met me. After the poison lump enlarges to a certain extent, it will explode like a bomb and the poison will travel around your entire body in just a few moments. Even the heavens cant save you then. 

The snow centipede isnt a rare beast; its only a grade one gliphic beast. However, we are in the South. It isnt easy to get your hands on it, and its only useful on gliphers or gliphists below the one-chambered or one-gliphic state. Thus the author of Everything you can do with dissolved tendon powder calls it the geniuses poison, meaning that its specially used to destroy geniuses around the world. 

I say, brother, did you offend anyone? 

After getting his senses back, the teenager sipped his warm tea calmly. Thank you, brother. If not for you, I, Tse Yu Bak, wouldnt even know how I died. He turned towards Chui Yim and bowed. Im Tse Yu Bak, a Night Lion Tse Clan disciple. Nice to meet you. 

Chui Yim, Chui Yim replied. From the Night Lions Tse Clan? No wonder.

Just like how Bak Wun and Chor Shing Chit were afraid that Chui Yim would be destroyed, such a genius from a clan was the same. But the attacker must be cautious, or the clan would punish him, especially by a clan once guarded by a five-chambered glipher. 

Tse Yu Bak nodded. He looked calm, but he was obviously nervous about it. Brother Chui, he probed, is there an antidote? 

Definitely, Chui Yim answered straightforwardly. The poison isnt very poisonous. Its just too hard to spot. If you werent deeply poisoned and there was no sign of lumps, I couldnt tell either. But since its been discovered, it shouldnt be hard for you to recover. 

Can I cultivate after I recover? Tse Yu Bak asked, trembling slightly. 

Of course, but its up to you to see which state you can reach after this setback. Chui Yim shrugged. 

Great! Tse Yu Bak walked up towards Chui Yim, holding his hand tightly. Great! Thank you so much, brother Chui. His voice trembled.
