Chapter 42

However, this Flowing Flame Finger couldnt be used as an attack. Back at the Cultivation Style Pavilion, Chuk Yim didnt choose the Flowing Flame Finger for its power but this application instead. He mimicked the skills energy pathway and allowed energliph to congeal on his fingertip.

Not just gliphers or gliphists, but metalsmiths needed energliph too. The higher the metalsmiths grade was, the more energliph they required.

It was impossible for gliphers or gliphists who have yet to reach the one-chambered or single-gliphicstate to successfully make gliph weapons by fire forging as gliph is needed to be carved manually. Thus, only a one-chambered or one-gliphic cultivator who could exert energliph could do so. But mimicking the route of Flowing Flame Finger helped Chui Yim do so despite not being a one-chambered glipher yet.

He moved his finger slowly as if he was holding onto something unbearably heavy. His arms felt like he was carrying a huge iron ball with much difficulty.

Finally, his finger stopped in front of the black rod that cooled down and started carving the gliph.

He might be slow, but his actions were smooth and flowing, making it look simple when in fact, Chui Yim had already repeated the process in his mind a hundred times. This was known as conscious training, and it helped improve the success rate of carving gliphs. Moreover, this step of carving gliphs was the most important step in forging.

Even a small mistake would destroy everything, so there was no room for error.

Kiu Chi Gong held his breath and watched Chui Yim anxiously. Chui Yim looked extremely focused and serious, but not even slightly anxious. He looked just like a calligrapher writing in his best font.

In the blink of an eye, fifteen minutes went by. Chui Yims body started to flush red. While it looked like he had only moved his arms, his method of exerting energliph before he reached the one-chambered state was a huge burden to his body. Added with the focus needed to carve a gliph, it consumed a huge amount of his energy, making it equivalent to strenuous activity.

Despite the extreme pain in his heart, Chui Yim kept his focus. Finally, he reached the end of the rod.

With a final tick and stroke, Chui Yim collapsed onto the ground, enduring the pain in his heart.

Okay, Ill go with you.

At last, both parties agreed to meet at the Riding Cloud Academys guest room. The Chan Clan sent the same person as they did previously, and Chui Yim still came with Chor Shing Chit. But what was different from the previous time was that there was no tea served today, and there was a box on the table instead.

Chan Ching sat in the middle, with the shopkeeper and an elder on both his sides. The elder had both his arms wrapped in black cloth just like Chor Shing Chit. It was apparent that he was just like Chor Shing Chit, a two-chambered glipher.

Chan Ching sneered upon seeing the box.

How can a ten-year-old child with no background get a grade two gliph weapon?

In this world, it was survival of the fittest. Even so, one and two-chambered gliphers made up most of the population, making grade one and two gliph weapons those of the highest demand. As demand grew, the price increased. Let alone possess one, it would be almost impossible for an ordinary family to ever see a gliph weapon.

Paying with a grade two gliph weapon? What a joke.

Okay, the gliph weapon is here. Please check it, Chui Yim caressed his bald head and said. He sounded serious, but he couldnt hide the kiddish tone in his voice.

Chui Yim pushed the box forward, making the table creak. The shopkeeper standing behind had a weird look in his eyes but he remained silent.

I hope this isnt a joke. Chan Ching sneered. He reached out to pick up the box to check, but he stopped in his tracks because he was unable to lift it!

What the heck? Chan Chings face fell. Did you put a rock inside?

Unable to watch anymore, the shopkeeper stepped forward to open the box.
