Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 591

A commotion erupted at the Heaven Jade Tower!

The tower was entirely constructed with Ice Jade. Although referred to as jade, it was a material between ice and jade. The jade structure carried a natural chill, making it an inherently rare treasure with gliphs. However, high temperatures could destroy the natural gliphs in the jade and lead to a meltdown.

Before Mok Ching Sau could take any action, the tower stopped melting and lit up instead! The Ice Jade absorbed the surrounding chilliness, and the temperature in the tower dropped drastically.

It was a property of Ice Jade to light up after absorbing a certain amount of chilliness, and luckily, not only did the tower not melt away, it even evolved to be more sturdy and chilly!

With a single thought from Siu Fu, the big, blue Lonely Night disappeared along with the chilliness that it generated.

Chui Yim’s burning hair had now disappeared, and he was left in a sorry state; his signature dark red vest was completely torn, and he was so badly drenched in sweat that he looked like he was just pulled out of the ocean.

“I’ve succeeded! Hahaha! Congratulations, Brother Siu, on acquiring a divine weapon! Hahaha!” He laughed while looking at Siu Fu.

Siu Fu shook his head as he looked at Chui Yim with a complicated expression. He could clearly feel how weak Chui Yim currently was, and if he were to launch an attack right now…

“Brother Chui, you’re too… reckless.” Siu Fu reached out his hand to the other, who grabbed it after a pause, and Siu Fu pulled him up.

“Brother Chui, how am I supposed to not feel guilty after what you did?” Siu Fu sighed.

“What is Brother Siu talking about?” Chui Yim pretended to be displeased with Siu Fu’s comment. “We went through life and death together, literally. One weapon is nothing.

”How is it, I’m good, right?” Failing to keep up his act, Chui Yim wore a proud look.

His words made Siu Fu feel like laughing, but he could only look at Chui Yim with a complicated look. “Brother Chui, that was Nether Flame Jade, right?”

“Yes!” Chui Yim laughed loudly. “The most negative flame in the world, most suitable for negative-attribute cultivators.

“With Netherspectre’s spine as the body and the flame as the blade, this is my proudest work! Hahaha!” Chui Yim was unable to hide his excitement. He dared not claim that his work was the most powerful weapon in the world, but at least his creativity and innovation were something that no one else had.

Because of his past life, he viewed forging differently from other blacksmiths, and he was more daring when it came to innovation and breakthroughs. Be it Lee Bak’s Matchless Guardian, which was a shield that could take multiple forms, or Lonely Night that had a blade of fire instead of steel, these were his innovations!

In his mind, there had never been a fixed way of thinking about weapons; it was more like he forged and created out of thin air, improvising as he went.

“Nether Flame Jade… is too precious.” Siu Fu shook his head. “Especially for Brother Chui, who tattoos your gliphs with fire, that jade could’ve been something you need for your next breakthrough.”

“There are many flames in the world, I’m not lacking that. On the contrary, this weapon was made at the right time, the right place, and by the right person.” Chui Yim shrugged.

“Right time because I coincidentally just obtained this Nether Flame Jade, right place because we coincidentally have this ignition room to use, and right person because Brother Siu reunited with me in this city!”

Chui Yim pointed at his nose.

“It’s fate that gave Brother Siu this divine weapon, so stop thinking about it, hahaha!”

“Brother Chui, you’re really…” Siu Fu couldn’t help but laugh.

“Alright, we should head out now before things blow up.” Chui Yim cut Siu Fu off.

On the ninth floor of the Heaven Jade Tower, there sat four people facing each other.

A black-haired man in blue robes was surrounded with chilliness, as if he was one with the Heaven Jade Tower. “Indeed the talent that created the method of refining weapons, seventh teacher indeed leaves me in awe. May I take a look at the weapon?”

Another person was sipping tea from a cup. He had thick brows and no hair. “I made this weapon for my friend, so you should ask Brother Siu for permission.” The bald teenager was none other than Chui Yim.

And the person with black hair and blue robes was Mok Ching Sau, the grandmaster of water-casting.

On the side was another teenager serving them tea. He gazed at Chui Yim with a complicated look. This was Mok Ching Sau’s disciple, Yau Suet Chung.

Yau Suet Chung was humbled by Chui Yim in the forging segment of the inter-school exchange back at the Metallic Blood War Gate. When he returned, he worked hard and went into seclusion, almost making it to the great master state.

He long knew that Chui Yim had already reached the great master state… but it was kind of disappointing to learn that the other had also improved greatly when Yau Suet Chung thought that he was finally catching up to the other.

What was worse was that even his master admitted he couldn’t sense what kind of weapon Chui Yim made.

They were now as different as heaven and earth.

Mok Ching Sau then turned to Siu Fu in confusion. “I don’t think this is sixth teacher, so may I ask who sir is…?”

“Just an ordinary cultivator.” Siu Fu shook his head. “As for the weapon, I will have to apologise for being unable to share it with you. That’s my personal weapon, and I don’t wish to show it off casually.”

Mok Ching Sau nodded in understanding. “Of course, I apologise for being rude. I only wish to learn more from another blacksmith’s work as a smith myself.”

Siu Fu said no more and nodded. He was clearly lacking in social skills compared to Chui Yim, who was able to do it naturally.

Mok Ching Sau was friendly, but that didn’t mean he enjoyed unreciprocated conversation. He placed his hands together and turned to Chui Yim. “I’ll not disturb the both of you then. Brother Chui, can I meet you at the Ice Jade Tower to discuss the art of forging three days later?”

“I’ll be there for sure.” Chui Yim returned the courtesy.

With that, the teenagers bid Mok Ching Sau goodbye and left the Heaven Jade Tower. Maybe because they bought so much already, but Owner Chun didn’t open up today, so they had nowhere else to go. “Brother Chui, I came here to get myself a weapon, and since I’ve already gotten one, I shall return to my clan as soon as possible so my family members don’t have to worry.”

“We’ll surely meet again some other day.” Chui Yim wore a regretful expression but didn’t force Siu Fu.

“Definitely.” Siu Fu smiled. He then turned to Chui Yim with a serious expression. “No matter what, I owe Brother Chui a favour.”

Chui Yim shrugged, not minding Siu Fu’s words.
