Siu Suet’s gaze towards Chui Yim was no longer as cold as before, but she was still unable to make sense of Chui Yim paying a million taels for a challenge that was unfair towards him. On the other hand, Chau Ling was happy with the arrangement.572Please respect copyright.PENANAvNBP3yJPDP
“Okay. One million taels is enough for a lesson from me.” Chau Ling put on his mysterious expression while Chui Yim smiled, not arguing.572Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZhJKqnDOm
The four of them headed into the Straw Hut’s Inner Hall together. Chui Yim’s eyes lit up the instant they entered. In South Imperial City, the Straw hut was second to none in weapon forging, its sales spanning a wide region despite its small store.572Please respect copyright.PENANAfaZ8TX2ouv
The top level was where grandmaster Choh Hang Seng’s workshop and where he resided, while the first level consisted of two halls, the Outer and Inner Hall. The shop received its orders and sold weapons in the Outer Hall, while the Inner Hall was where grandmaster Choh’s three direct disciples worked and resided. It was also used to host lessons conducted by grandmaster Choh or his disciples.572Please respect copyright.PENANAKX4893C9us
The first thing that Chui Yim saw when he entered was a garden, a gliphic plant plantation. There were various plants, with some Northern gliphic plants as well. It was evidently well cared for with gliphism, allowing them to grow healthily.572Please respect copyright.PENANAD97GqdFIvN
“This is my master’s garden. There are many ingredients for grass refining, and we cultivate gliphic plants here as well.” Chau Ling couldn’t help but be proud.572Please respect copyright.PENANABU2aUXHaXQ
“It’s not as if this garden is yours──hurry up, we need to head back for dinner after this too.” Chui Yim rolled his eyes.572Please respect copyright.PENANAxTr3abNoAa
“What an arrogant kid!” Chau Ling laughed in anger before they entered Chau Ling’s room. They all missed the man squatting at the corner of the garden, tendering his plants.
572Please respect copyright.PENANAdrk3L9Evz7
Chui Yim wore a calm expression as soon as they shut the door.572Please respect copyright.PENANAPOma2bEo82
“This is my workshop, and the room at the back is mine.” Chau Ling smiled gently. However, Chau Cheung and Siu Suet’s faces fell suddenly as they felt a powerful aura!572Please respect copyright.PENANAcKRMCT39NR
The huge workshop was filled with green, swordlike bamboo. Swords were hanging from the bamboo, and they filled the room. The entire workshop was enveloped with sword aura! Siu Suet wasn’t as affected, but Chau Cheung cultivation was weaker, his face immediately flushed white.572Please respect copyright.PENANABkIX3O5l4E
“Hehe,” Chau Ling casually waved his hands and dispersed the aura around Chau Cheung. “Pardon the strong sword aura in my workshop.” With that, he glanced at Chui Yim, who was unfazed, unaffected by the aura.
“Rumours have it that great master Chau is best at forging swords,” Siu Suet said respectfully. “Now that I’ve witnessed this with my own eyes, the Sword-Refining Chau Ling indeed lives up to his name.”572Please respect copyright.PENANAStXhNhoVtP
On the other hand, Chau Cheung was pale white. As the saying goes, knowing a man’s reputation isn’t as good as meeting him personally. Chau Cheung had known that Chau Ling was an outstanding grass refiner, but he was now feeling the cold sword aura personally, experiencing his strength first-hand! He couldn’t help but turn to Chui Yim, who was surprisingly even calmer than when he saw the garden earlier.572Please respect copyright.PENANAS216m427LR
Chau Cheung believed in Chui Yim, albeit experiencing Chau Ling’s strength. However, he was still worried since he had never seen Chui Yim forge a weapon.572Please respect copyright.PENANA7na2hZmtfs
“Okay, let’s begin.” Chui Yim started. Chau Ling sneered at him as he believed that Chui Yim couldn’t handle the sword aura, which made him hurry. However, he was still a great master, so he quickly moved on.572Please respect copyright.PENANAPKLoZEotYz
“Please show us your gliph and gliphility, Miss Siu.”572Please respect copyright.PENANAR32TgMn48r
Siu Suet nodded. “I believe the three of you will keep this a secret.”572Please respect copyright.PENANA2fVzj9lXta
“Of course,” Chau Ling replied casually. “I’ve customised over a hundred weapons for various gliphers, and none of their secrets has ever slipped my lips.” On the other hand, Chui Yim didn’t even bother to answer as he waited.572Please respect copyright.PENANARebKWAJaMw
His actions annoyed Siu Suet slightly, but she held in her anger as she remembered how he was the cause for great master Chau to forge her weapon quickly. “You may begin, Miss Siu.”572Please respect copyright.PENANAs3VvILeJKc
Siu Suet reached out her left hand and pulled up her right sleeve to reveal the gliph under her gliph cover.572Please respect copyright.PENANAPbgpOHOcdk
“Indeed, the Siu Clan’s Gale Stride gliph.” Chau Ling smiled while glancing at Chui Yim, the kid he deemed ignorant. I doubt he even knows what gliph this is.572Please respect copyright.PENANASc3OgDO7Vg
Unlike the Chor Clan’s Spiral Dragon, this gliph was new to Chui Yim; he had never seen it in Chui Tin’s books and was obviously weaker in experience compared to Cheuk Kwun. But he was no newbie to gliphism after Ping Chi’s, Chor Shing Chit’s, and Cheuk Kwun’s tutoring. Adding on the countless mysterious gliphs that Chui Tin taught and the gliph from the Engraved Mountain Range, Chui Yim could be considered an outstanding gliphist of his generation.572Please respect copyright.PENANArudSCjRUhR
The gliph in front of him now seemed complex. It was built with many gliph strings, mainly curved lines, crossing each other, resembling the formless wind from afar. It was less mystical compared to the Chor Clan’s Spiral Dragon, but it was still unique in its own way.572Please respect copyright.PENANAhohVQ6fVb4
Maybe this gliph helps the cultivator to control the wind, not weak breezes, but powerful and violent gales. Chui Yim guessed.572Please respect copyright.PENANAo72YPbwhpN
“This is my gliphility.” Siu Suet spoke. The green bracelet on her right wrist lit up as a longbow appeared in her hands. Chui Yim was captivated by it and realised it wasn’t a normal storage bracelet but something that connected her gliph weapon with her! The bracelet had a unique storage space that could connect with heaven and earth, and Siu Suet could gather wind-attributed energy whilst wearing it to nurture her gliph weapon!572Please respect copyright.PENANAWuT4BxGUuZ
This would improve her gliph weapon as time passed! It reminded Chui Yim of the ugly black pendant that Chor Shing Chit wore. Indeed, every clan had their own exclusive treasures. However, Chui Yim could feel that her bracelet could only connect her to a single gliph weapon, and Siu Suet would need to cut off the connection with her current gliph weapon if she wanted to nurture a new weapon.572Please respect copyright.PENANAF2Um6hH6H8
Siu Suet naturally ignored Chui Yim, who was in deep thought. She was putting in all her effort as she knew that grand master Chau might not understand her clearly if she didn’t.
