Chapter 45

Falling fruit is a fire-attributed fruit that explodes every time it falls onto the ground. Not only does the explosion loosen the soil, but it also helps to disperse the seeds hidden within the fruit. However, an unripe falling fruit is an excellent gliphic plant. As for the sharp tooth man-eating flower, its an omnivorous gliphic plant that preys on animals passing by it. Thus, its considered a dangerous gliphic plant.

Chan Lai Faat said with amazement written across his face, This master has unconventional but wonderful ideas. Falling fruit is best used for gliphs carved on long-ranged gliph weapons like arrows or concealed weapons, but he used the fruit in the Stunning Thunder '' gliph instead. This is a popular gliph amongst short-range attackers. Attacks with the Stunning Thunder have stunning characteristics, and it can numb enemies if the gliph is carved with thunder attribute materials.

However, when falling fruit is used in Stunning Thunder, it will result in stuns with the same impact as an explosion. If the opponent uses light weapons like swords or a dagger, this weapon can even injure the opponent between his thumb and index finger with just one attack, making the opponent lose grip of his weapons.

Then there is the second gliph. Chan Lai Faats eye lit up as he looked at the weapon as if he was admiring art. This gliph, the Vanguard Soldiers gliph,uses the sharp tooth man-eating flower. Vanguard Soldiers is usually used in sharp weapons like knives, swords and spears. When activated, it gives the weapon an invisible sharp aura that increases the damage done as its being swung around.

Its usually unsuitable to carve Vanguard Soldier on a rod, but this rod is made of three hundred catties of fallen stars stone and has Stunning Thunder as its main gliph. Combining these three factors, it results in an unprecedented change. The rod made of fallen star stone is naturally heavy; adding on Stunning Thunder, it can cause huge damage to an opponents weapon. Now it also emits a sharp aura when swung due to Vanguard Soldier. Therefore, I can say that this weapon is an unorthodox rod. Rods are a nimble weapon, but this gliph weapon here is a rod that has been forcefully turned into a highly explosive and destructive weapon. If the enemy isnt aware of its abilities, the glipher using this rod can win a battle with just one attack.

The combination of the three hundred catties of fallen stars stone used in the weapon combined with Stunning Thunders stun and the sharp property of Vanguard Soldier is extremely powerful.

In fact, this weapon was made casually. Fallen stars stone, falling fruit and sharp tooth man-eating flower are ingredients that can be found easily. The shape of the weapon is made with a mould too, lowering the requirement for casting skills. Despite this, the weapon could be said to be flawless, and the planning of this weapon was innovative from the start.

These years, gliph weapons are mostly made of water-casting and grass-refining. But that is just because we are in the south. Its been said that in the north, fire-forging is still the primary method used. Even the only divine metalsmith on this continent uses fire-forging.

I know that its been tough for metalsmiths who use fire-forging these days, so I hope to encourage all of you with this weapon. Creativity is the core to forging. As long as you are creative, you can turn ordinary ingredients into a grade two gliph weapon with powers similar to a grade three weapon. If I have the chance, Id like to meet this master and discuss weapons with him, Chan Lai Faat said as he turned to Chan Ching.

Master? Chan Ching blurted out. Old clan leader, do you mean that this grade two gliph weapon is the work of a master?

A disciple might have done the casting and forging, but the gliphs carved onto the weapon have exposed him. Chan Lai Faat laughed upon hearing Chan Ching. Be it Stunning Thunder or Vanguard Soldier, both gliphs were carved onto the weapon smoothly. This shows how confident this master is. If he isnt a great metalsmith, how can he be this confident of his skills?

Adding the Hidden Cloud gliph, it technically has three gliphs. Moreover, hes pushing the limits to turn an ordinary ingredient, the fallen stars stone into a grade two gliph weapon. Thats why Im sure that a fire-forging master mustve made this, and even this is just a casual piece of work. This master is even more skilled than me!



There was nothing to be seen in the darkness, and Lau Fa Ming had his head so low that he didnt even dare to sneak a look. He knew how powerful the empress was.

After some time, the voice rang out from the darkness again. You said that Kan Hang has disappeared?

Yes, Your Highness, Lau Fa Ming replied respectfully. On our way back, Your Majesty secretly sent for Old Ngai to escort him back from Southary while Kan Hang was nowhere to be seen.

Hah A faint sigh was heard, and Lau Fa Ming was slightly bewitched. It was as if the sigh was made of a myriad sea of flowers, and it felt like the floral scent was coming from her voice. Very soon, Lau Fa Ming realised his disrespectful actions and adjusted his state of mind. A drop of sweat rolled down his forehead.

Such an ungrateful man. Eunuch Lau, I never want to hear the name Sit Ting ever again Do you understand?

Lau Fa Ming, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled violently on hearing her. Intense fear filled his eyes as he kept his forehead stuck to the ground. He understood what the empress meant, as he himself had witnessed how broken-hearted the emperor had been back on the white stone path.

Am I going to kill the woman that the emperor loves so deeply?

After some time, the faint voice rang out again. It seemed like the empress was unhappy that she didnt receive an answer.

Eunuch Lau, do you understand me? She might be a few meters away from Lau Fa Ming, but it sounded like she was whispering right next to his ears. If I can make someone the ace of the palace, I can make someone else a replacement. Disobedient dogs are better dead. Eunuch, youre smart enough. I believe you understand what I mean.

Yes Yes! I am willing to serve Your Highness faithfully; Ill do whatever Your Highness wishes no matter what it takes! Lau Fa Mings body shook even more violently.

Hahaha How would I bear to kill an obedient dog? Leave, I need some peace.

Yes! Lau Fa Ming answered with a low voice as he walked out of the Three thousand Halls main courtyard with his head down and a fierce look in his eyes.

Dont blame me, Sit Ting. Im just trying to survive too.
