Chapter 174

Despite knowing that Chor Huet Zhin was putting on an act, Chui Yum still agreed to the deal; firstly, he was in urgent need of the money, and secondly, Chor Huet Zhin didnt have much time left. There was no reason why he shouldnt respect the last wishes of a man at deaths door.

Okay, deal!

Chor Huet Zhin immediately recovered from his cough and extended his hand, laughing. High five as a promise.

Pat!

Chor Shing Chit stood at the side, feeling muddled as he watched his grandfather and Chui Yim glare at each other while trying to trick each other.

A million silver taels was a lot. But they were the Chor Clan, one of the most powerful clans in the South, and it wasnt that significant for the clan as a whole. However, the clan still cared about what they exchanged for the money.

As Chor Shing Chit mentioned, one might be able to put a price tag on grade three gliph weapons but there was only absolute demand and lack of supply for it.

Superior grade three gliph weapons werent easy to forge; only grandmasters could forge them and the success rate was only seventy per cent. Not just that, but grandmasters were innately prideful and usually wouldnt spend their time making grade three gliph weapons, instead challenging themselves to forge a grade four weapon.

Moreover, there werent even twenty grandmaster smiths in this world, making them rarer than alchemists! That was why superior grade three gliph weapons were harder to find than grade four gliph weaponswhich were strong enough to become a clans heirloom.

The gliph weapon ranked last on the famous Celestial Weapon Rank was a top-notch grade three gliph weapon, while most other gliph weapons on the rankings were of grade four.

Thus this deal could never end up in a loss for Chor Huet Zhin. nove(l)bi(n.)com

Thank you, uncle Tse, I appreciate it. But I indeed need some help this time.

Oh?

Only two other Tse Clan servants followed Tse On and Chui Yim as they left. This was South Imperial City, a region which didnt belong to the Tse Clan but the capital of the South instead. The Tse Clan had a strong foothold here for many purposes. For example, the Tse Clan could immediately receive news on precious items at auctions and make swift decisions on whether to bid or not. They could help replenish stocks for Night Lion City too.

Since this wasnt the Tse Clans territory, they didnt have as many members in South Imperial City and most were of a low cultivation state.

Little brother Chui, youve come to the right person. I wouldnt be able to help if you wanted me to help you deal with an enemy. Tse On laughed while leading him to his destination. South Imperial City is large enough to be a country by itself; Im serious. There are even gliphic plant plantations in the city, and the tributary of the Mother River here allows the city to be self-sufficient. They dont need any external support.

Its confusing for an outsider, but Ive stayed here for decades; I know this city like the back of my hand, Tse On said proudly. There are twenty-six weapon shops in South Imperial City, and more than half of them are helmed by great masters, making them special. Grandmaster Choh Hang Sangs weapon shop, the Straw Hut, is the most well-known among all. Every glipher wants a weapon from him.

The shop that little brother Chui is looking for is near grandmaster Chohs Straw Hut. Its about three to four shops away from it, Tse On said as he pointed to a faraway green three-storey building. Even from where they were standing, they could feel a strong sense of vitality. It was hard to believe that it was a weapon shop.

Lets go and take a look. Chui Yim turned back to the shop in front of him.

This shop was larger than normal shops. It was said that the original owner sold wine; it had a wine cellar and two stories for his customers to sit and drink.

After touring the shop, Chui Yim nodded in satisfaction. Not bad. Itll be a great shop after some renovation.

So how much does it cost? He turned to Tse On.
