Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 312

Siu Suets 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.

Okay. One million taels is enough for a lesson from me. Chau Ling put on his mysterious expression while Chui Yim smiled, not arguing.

The four of them headed into the Straw Huts Inner Hall together. Chui Yims 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.

The top level was where grandmaster Choh Hang Sengs 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 Chohs three direct disciples worked and resided. It was also used to host lessons conducted by grandmaster Choh or his disciples.

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.

This is my masters garden. There are many ingredients for grass refining, and we cultivate gliphic plants here as well. Chau Ling couldnt help but be proud.

Its not as if this garden is yourshurry up, we need to head back for dinner after this too. Chui Yim rolled his eyes.

Chui Yim wore a calm expression as soon as they shut the door.

This is my workshop, and the room at the back is mine. Chau Ling smiled gently. However, Chau Cheung and Siu Suets faces fell suddenly as they felt a powerful aura!

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 wasnt as affected, but Chau Cheung cultivation was weaker, his face immediately flushed white.

Rumours have it that great master Chau is best at forging swords, Siu Suet said respectfully. Now that Ive witnessed this with my own eyes, the Sword-Refining Chau Ling indeed lives up to his name.

On the other hand, Chau Cheung was pale white. As the saying goes, knowing a mans reputation isnt 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 couldnt help but turn to Chui Yim, who was surprisingly even calmer than when he saw the garden earlier.

Chau Cheung believed in Chui Yim, albeit experiencing Chau Lings strength. However, he was still worried since he had never seen Chui Yim forge a weapon.

Okay, lets begin. Chui Yim started. Chau Ling sneered at him as he believed that Chui Yim couldnt handle the sword aura, which made him hurry. However, he was still a great master, so he quickly moved on.

Please show us your gliph and gliphility, Miss Siu.

Siu Suet nodded. I believe the three of you will keep this a secret.

Of course, Chau Ling replied casually. Ive customised over a hundred weapons for various gliphers, and none of their secrets has ever slipped my lips. On the other hand, Chui Yim didnt even bother to answer as he waited.

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.

Siu Suet reached out her left hand and pulled up her right sleeve to reveal the gliph under her gliph cover.

Indeed, the Siu Clans 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.

Unlike the Chor Clans Spiral Dragon, this gliph was new to Chui Yim; he had never seen it in Chui Tins books and was obviously weaker in experience compared to Cheuk Kwun. But he was no newbie to gliphism after Ping Chis, Chor Shing Chits, and Cheuk Kwuns 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.

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 Clans Spiral Dragon, but it was still unique in its own way.

Maybe this gliph helps the cultivator to control the wind, not weak breezes, but powerful and violent gales. Chui Yim guessed.

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 wasnt 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!

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.
