Chapter 592

After some consideration, Siu Fu flipped his hand, and an item appeared in his palm.

He looked at Chui Yim with a smile. “Since Brother Chui loves drinking, I'll gift you a treasure that greatly suits you.”

Chui Yim's eyes widened as he examined the object in front of him. "What's this?”

It was a gourd bottle in Siu Fu's hands. The gourd bottle was pitch-black and covered with visible flame gliphs.

“A gourd bottle, a small gift from me as a brother to you,” Siu Fu answered with an odd smile, Chui Yim taking the bottle with a sceptical look.

“Eh?” Chui Yim was pleasantly surprised when he sensed what was inside in the bottle.

“I tried making Drunken Year on my own following the tips Brother Chui shared with me during our first meeting.” Siu Fu chuckled.

Rather than the wine, Chui Yim was shocked to sense the enormous storage space available in the bottle! It could contain as much as a lake, and it was currently filled to the brim with wine!

“This item was crafted by a gliphist centuries ago as his personal treasure. He was known as the Wine Deity, and this bottle can hold all wine in the world and increases brewing speed by three times, making it a prized possession for wine enthusiasts.”

The name Wine Deity rang a bell in Chui Yim’s mind; he had read about him in the books.

“I doubt storing wine is its only function. A fire that can set the prairie ablaze, contained within a single gourd – this gourd must be the legendary Blaze Gourd, said to be capable of burning down an entire city, right?" Chui Yim handed the bottle back, but Siu Fu didn’t take it.

“Brother Chui is indeed knowledgeable; I can’t hide it from you.” Smiling widely, Siu Fu replied.

However, this made Chui Yim frown. “This is too precious for me to accept.”

“Brother Chui can gift me a piece of Nether Flame Jade, so why can’t I give Brother Chui something precious as a gift?” Siu Fu frowned similarly, looking displeased.

Chui Yim looked troubled, but he stopped dwelling on it after a moment. Just like how he wanted Siu Fu to stop dwelling over the piece of jade he gifted him, Siu Fu gave him the Blaze Gourd with the same mindset. “Alright.”

“That’s more like it.” Siu Fu smiled widely. “Not only can it store wine, it can store fire too. It will definitely serves its best purpose with Brother Chui, who tattoos your gliphs with flames, as its owner.”

Chui Yim accepted the gift and fastened the gourd around his waist, adding a manly cultivator vibe to his look.

Watching Chui Yim take the gift, Siu Fu placed his hands together, ready to leave. “Fate shall bring us together again someday, Brother Chui.”

“Take care, Brother Siu. May fate bring us together again.” Chui Yim returned the gesture.

Exchanging a smile, Siu Fu left without hesitation.

Three days later, Chui Yim arrived at the Ice Jade Tower as promised.

The Ice Jade Tower was a restaurant owned by Mok Ching Sau. Because of the grandmaster, Hidden Vanguard City had long become the world of water-casters, and this method that used ice as its main component caused the entire city to become as cold as ice.

It was less luxurious compared to the Heaven Jade Tower that was totally made of Ice Jade, but it was known for its special wine, Chilly Depths, that used the essence of Ceremony Spring and about twenty other ingredients, including the gliphic plant, soulbless fruit. It sounded just like Owner Chun’s Ceremony Wine, but the ingredients used were different and way more expensive.

Serving other specialties of Hidden Vanguard City, the Ice Jade Tower became one of the top restaurants in the city!

Yet today, the top floor of the restaurant was empty. The huge space that could house more than ten tables was only left with a single table lit with candlelight.

A man with black hair and blue robes was drinking alone, the contents of his thoughts a mystery.

“Seventh teacher.” Seeing Chui Yim, the person smiled at him and stood up.

“Master Mok.” Chui Yim returned the courtesy. He was someone that Chui Yim sincerely admired as the other had made it far in the path of forging, but the further someone went in a certain path, it showed Chui Yim how tedious it was to create a new route in the path of forging.

It was simple logic: it was easy to make one become two, but tough to make zero become one, as that was creating something out of the blue.

“I apologise for making Master Mok wait.”

“It’s fine, I was pondering about some other stuff.” Mok Ching Sau shook his head and wore a thin smile on his face. “I came out of seclusion early after seventh teacher’s impact that day.”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know.” Chui Yim was awkward. “And there’s no need to address me as teacher, you can just call me Chui Yim.”

“In that case, please punish yourself with three shots, Brother Chui.” Mok Ching Sau wore a sweet smile, and Chui Yim did so happily!

“Great wine!”

“Of course, that’s Chilly Depths, a wine the city is proud of.” Mok Ching Sau hummed happily.

After a short conversation, Chui Yim feasted in a great mood. Because of Ceremony Mountain, there were special changes to the surroundings of Hidden Vanguard City, and the food and wine tasted different from other places.

After the meal, they were only left with wine.

Mok Ching Sau was obviously a light drinker, as he was still on his original bottle when Chui Yim had already finished a few jugs.

“Brother Chui, how did you come up with weapon refinement?”
