Chapter 46

Chui Yim sat on a chair, swinging his legs up and down along with his head. He popped a piece of sashimi in his mouth and gasped. The fish is so fresh!

Of course! Lam Ming answered, taking a piece of sashimi too. But unlike Chui Yim who was enjoying the food, Lam Ming looked like he was in pain. This high-grade seamouth cost fifty silver taels!

Just let me eat! Im a wealthy man! Chui Yim patted his chest.

And this was the real Chui Yim.

As a renowned metalsmith back on the Sallow Continent, money was just a number to him. He had never worried about money nor cared about it, as he was wealthy beyond imagination. But now, he was a young boy with heart deficiency. The inability to forge led him to become moneys slave.

Now that Kiu Chi Gong had acknowledged him as his master, Kiu Chi Gong had insisted that he took seventy per cent of their earnings from forging weapons, which Chui Yim accepted.

It was unknown how powerful a metalsmith he was, but putting aside his physical age and knowledge of gliph, it wasnt asking too much for the Old Chan Clan leader to call him master. Seventy per cent of the earnings wasnt even enough for tuition fees. If Kiu Chi Gong didnt need money for the shops operation, he would have happily given all of the earnings to Chui Yim.

Thus, Chui Yim was able to live worry-free from money again.

Brother Chui, where are you going later?

Weapon Street, you? Chui Yim said, putting another piece of sashimi in his mouth, appreciating its taste.

I think Ill head home and bring the ingredients that we cant finish home to mummy. Lam Ming replied after a short pause.

His reply left Chui Yim speechless. What do you take your mother as? A recycling bin? But thats not surprising; Aunt Sits and Lam Mings cooking skills are so fantastic they could even make delicacies from trash.

Mhmm, come back later. I have a surprise for you.

Surprise? Lam Ming blinked his small eyes.

Hehe, surprises are meant to be kept secret.

Then Ill wait and see. If Im not pleasantly surprised, well eat less tomorrow.

......



At Weapon Street, Chui Yim walked into the Kiu familys shop like it was his home.

Master, you're here, Kiu Chi Gong called out respectfully.



Chui Yim frowned. He didnt expect Kiu Chi Gong to possess such a particular style. After some hesitation, he went straight to the point. Im your master, and I similarly have a style passed down for generations. Its of the fire nature, unyielding and overbearing. It definitely wont allow the existence of another style in you. So, if you choose to pick up my style, then youll have to give up the style you currently have and re-cultivate from the start. And all the strength you have received from the Firm Gate Skill will be lost.

Chui Yims words stupefied Kiu Chi Gong. Can I not? He asked slowly. My clan passed this down, and it also symbolises the Kiu Clans glorious past; I cant give it up.

Alright, Chui Yim said. He wasnt a non-negotiable person. However, due to the differences in our styles, you wont be able to pick up some skills that youd only acquire from cultivating my style But you could still become a divine master if you try hard enough.

Kiu Chi Gong stared at him with his mouth wide open. He was full of respect for Chui Yim. Before Chui Yim made the grade-two gliph weapon, he wouldve taken it as a joke. But now that he had successfully created a grade-two weapon, he believed whatever Chui Yim said.

Mhmm, since thats the case, I wont force you. Chui Yim nodded and walked to the forging station casually. I have something that I would like to forge. Watch carefully and take down any questions. Ask me all at once when Im done.



Madame Sit, youre back. A fishmonger in the market greeted the familiar customer of his.

Madame Sit was none other than Sit Ting. Hello, are there any fresh fish today? She smiled thinly.

Of course. The fishmonger laughed. He glanced around and secretly took out a fish as big as his forearm from the water tank. Knowledgeable Madam Sit, Im sure you can recognise this fish.

Its a unifish! Sit Tings eyes lit up in surprise. Theres unifish around here?

Haha! I knew that madame is smart. The fishmonger laughed.

Unifish was a type of gliphic beast. But unlike seamouth, it could be considered as an actual gliphic beast. Its gliph-filled horn could turn water into a sharp blade to attack. Unifish was a fierce fish that served as a fantastic supplement if its head was used as g-food.

Sit Ting counted in her heart silently. Realising it was the day of Lam Mings return, she smiled and nodded. Okay, Ill have this fish.

Not far from the market, a man in black stood on the thatched houses roof, watching Sit Ting quietly. His eyes never stayed on her for more than three seconds to prevent him from being discovered. As soon as Sit Ting left the market with her purchase, he vanished at the same time.



Mummy! Im back! Lam Mings cheerful voice rang across the house. He was a classic bright kid who wore a smile on his face without fail. Due to his timid nature, his sunny side was hidden and covered by his fear of being somewhere unfamiliar, the academy.

Youre back. Give mummy a second, Im cooking, Sit Ting replied from the kitchen.

She looked back at the unifish. Unlike precious ingredients, a g-food ingredients grade wasnt everything. Unifish might be a low-grade gliphic beast, but it was suited to be made as g-food. In fact, the fish soup that she passed onto Chui Tin was a famous dish she developed with unifish as the main ingredient, the One and Only Fish Head.

Unifish might be an ordinary fish that wasnt too difficult to catch, but it didnt mean that it could be easily found. She had used common fish for her soup these years, and it had been a long time since she had last handled a unifish.

The horn of a unifish must not be eaten directly. It had to be ground into powder before it could be used as a natural seasoning and cooked with the unifishs head, which tasted heavenly.

Sit Ting took her knife and chopped the horn off of the fish head directly.
