Chapter 465
Whoosh... A huge rock appeared in his hand effortlessly.
Within a crack in the rock sat a small flower with a diameter no bigger than two fingers.
It was the rock bloomer that Chui Yim robbed from the foggy night onyx eagle at the Engraved Mountain Range.
The rock bloomer was a highly uncommon top-notch ingredient, and the existence of rock bloomer was beyond science. Rocks were non-living things while flowers were the opposite. The fact that the rock bloomer was a whole living thing made it a magical existence of the world. It could be proven to be whole by how the rock would lose its vitality, making it no different from an ordinary rock, and the flower would immediately perish if it was plucked off.
Rock bloomer was a great example of miraculously finding vitality in death, and the mystical laws of the world. Death awaits all the moment they’re born, and nobody knows if there’s such a thing as an afterlife.
This item was not actually a rare find, but it was scarce due to how many were unable to identify it and plucked the flower off the rock, destroying the treasure.
Chui Yim opened the lid from the side where alchemists put in the ingredients for elixirs and pills. He threw the rock bloomer into the cauldron from that opening, and the rock colliding with the cauldron could be heard. Then, Chui Yim placed his hands on the cauldron to insert energliph, which activated the gliph inside the cauldron and produced a high temperature slowly.Findd new stories at novelhall.com
“What is he doing?" Watching Chui Yim, the Cloud Palace disciples were confused. Planning to make pills or elixirs with a rock? Only Sung Tsz Hin's eyes lit up, but he said nothing about it.
Chui Yim did not stop his actions. After feeling that the heat had reached a certain temperature, his divine bracelet flickered again, and he threw in many more minerals.
Clang clang clang clang....
The sound of many minerals hitting the cauldron rang out, and the temperature in the cauldron increased. When it reached another temperature threshold, one of the dragons suddenly opened its eyes, which were burning like flames.
Whoosh!
The cauldron lit up!
Blazing Skies Mountain was the most influential amongst the three biggest Northern organisations due to its famous forging skills. The only blacksmith in the divine state was their clan leader.
Even the weapon that Four Seasons Mountain's Clan Leader Yeung Ha used – Blazing Summer – was a product of Blazing Skies Mountain.
Yim Mo Chiu had experience with forging since a young age that even Sung Tsz Hin might not be able to reach. But now, Yim Mo Chiu was thrown out of her shoes by Chui Yim!
Maybe because she understood forging, Yim Mo Chiu understood Chui Yim's actions better than the rest of her fellow disciples.
She immediately identified the pros of Chui Yim doing so.
The temperature.
Pills must be made inside a cauldron because of how they might fail if the ingredients were accidentally mixed around. Thus, even powerful alchemists in the grandmaster state must make use of a cauldron.
However, temperature was the actual reason.
Every cauldron came with the ability to suppress flame, thus even with the same flame, it could produce a temperature a few times higher than other equipment. Now that Chui Yim was making a weapon with a cauldron, it was simpler for him to forge; his requirements for the flame had decreased.
In forging, blacksmiths had crazy high standards for the flame and even had to turn to unusual flames for gliph weapons beyond grade four. Yim Mo Chiu knew the reason behind Blazing Skies Mountain’s powerful skills was how her sect made use of earth flame, the origin of flame, to forge, which increased their success rate.
Chui Yim's method was another way that could affect the world of forging! But it didn't take her long to see that it would be hard to cast with this method.
There were many steps to forging, and different factions did it in different sequences. However, there were four major steps that could not be forgotten: choosing ingredients, melting, casting, and carving gliphs.
Chui Yim's method was obviously beneficial towards the melting stage, and as an innate heart chamber gliphist, he could draw gliphs in the air. He also had a close relationship with the cauldron, so he could carve gliphs through it. But... how was he supposed to cast?
