Chapter 180

Chui Yim didnt spend too much time mourning Chor Huet Zhins passing.

He was actually an emotional person, and Chor Huet Zhin was someone he admired a lot, but they never really interacted enough for him to feel too upset. If it was Chor Shing Chit, whom he viewed as his best friend, hed be much more upset.

Now, Chui Yim had drowned himself in work once more. His character made him a researcher who wanted to research and understand every subject he learnt, which was why he was extremely busy as he had picked up many fields. Alchemy, forging, medicine and gliphism were all time-consuming and content-heavy subjects.

Luckily, Chui Yim had reached his bottleneck for medicine, and he didnt plan to become an elite alchemist. Just like Ping Chi mentioned, alchemy was just used to help supplement his medicinal skills. As for forging, he was already a great metalsmith, held back only by his weak body and heart.

Thus, he was now focusing on putting together the Scam Palaces school fees that cost as much as a kings ransom. Moreover, he wasnt planning to stay in the Chor Clan Mansion in the long run. Chor Shing Chit might be his close friend, but he wasnt thick-skinned enough to leech their meals forever, which was why he spent 200,000 on a residence near the lake.

That was also why he was currently standing here with his worn-out bag. The messy house made him miss Chui Tin a lot suddenly. Pat! He patted his bald head to clear his thoughts and started tidying the place.

The residence next to the lake wasnt too large nor small, but it still took him half a day to tidy up his bedroom and another day to clean things up for it to be inhabitable.

He went to an eatery near him and returned to the residence after a filling meal.

Night fell. The reflection of moonlight on the lake next to the courtyard was depressing to look at, yet also slightly beautiful simultaneously. This made Chui Yim feel like all his silver taels were worth it.

After being emotional, the next thing is to work!

But he never expected that the jade-like forearm bone would be worse. It didnt even change colour slightly under fire! Besides describing it as invulnerable, Chui Yim couldnt think of any other words. But then, he suddenly remembered how the Yellow Spring's Lady used the bone.

He had always felt that gliphists treasures were rough, unlike gliph weapons which were made exquisitely.

When creating their treasures, gliphists rarely refined their ingredients and kept their original shape, such as Chan Shue Guns old robe, and Chi Pings short walking stick. Even the Thirty-Six Night Lunar Needles were made crudely by mixing rare ingredients and refining them with the essence of the full moon.

The Thirty-Six Night Lunar Needles were the best item that Chui Yim had. But as a great metalsmith of the Sallow Continent, the ingredients chosen to make the set of Thirty-Six Night Lunar Needles were nonsense. If not for the Gentle Moon Priests powerful energliph and the time he had used to refine them, it wouldve undoubtedly resulted in a set of rubbish.

Thus, what the Yellow Spring's Lady did, refining the bone with tons of poison and souls to give it a hellish nature was another method. Chui Yim couldnt help but feel that refining gliphist treasures was no different from another forging method.

After letting his train of thoughts run for a while, he stowed the bone away too. He could not study it with his current ability and lack of equipment.

Lastly, he turned to the ordinary-looking black cushion.

What on earth is this? Chui Yim took the black cushion and fiddled with it. No matter how he played with it, it seemed like an ordinary cushion. After some thought, he decided to place it on the ground and sit on it.

Well, thats what we use cushions for anyways

But as soon as he did so, his eyes shot wide open in surprise. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
