Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 589

Siu Fu wasted no time and threw the heavy corpse into the cauldron, just as the both of them discussed.

Huff… A gush of chillness took over the room, abruptly lowering the temperature. Even the cauldron that was glowing red from the burning heat returned to its original state.

Chui Yim was now completely serious. He wasn’t actually as obsessed with the material as he seemed he was; he was just trying to make out its quality previously.

Netherspectre was the most evil being in the world, and it was naturally of the extreme negative attribute. Chui Yim now understood the reason why Siu Fu came for Mok Ching Sau, as such a negative-attribute material would work perfectly with water-casting. However, Chui Yim was no ordinary blacksmith; despite not having a high cultivation state, his forging skills were so great that he was above most blacksmiths in this world.

He was a person that made two divine weapons back in the Sallow Continent before reincarnating, after all.

Chui Yim’s fingers danced in the air as he shouted in a low voice. “Nine Levels of Fire Mark!”

A mark shot out and landed on the cauldron like it was engraved on it!

Szzz… The temperature rose once again!

“Nice,” Chui Yim whispered to himself. Indeed the most evil being in the world; its flesh could still create such chilliness despite already having lost vitality. Even the first mark couldn’t raise the heat to Chui Yim’s ideal temperature!

Back at the Metallic Blood War Gate, he nearly caused the whole forge to explode just by adding a single mark to create Matchless Guardian for Lee Bak. The difference proved how strong the negative energy of Netherspectre was.

Embarrassed, Chui Yim let out a cold snort. “How dare you try to go against me when I already slapped you to death!?” With that, he sent out another mark.

Chui Yim didn’t notice that there was someone glaring at him after hearing what he said. The gaze was so cold that it was like Chui Yim was already a dead man. Sensing it, Siu Fu took a glance at the empty corner of the room.

“Don’t act freely unless you wish to bear the consequences.”

Receiving Siu Fu’s thought, there was energy movement in the empty corner.

“Trying to scare me, huh? Who do you think you are, little boy?”

Siu Fu was still wearing a cold expression.

“Don’t forget that you agreed to have your corpse made into a weapon.”

“I never agreed to have Ka Yi’s bald donkey inheritor modify me.”

“You’ve already been reborn and are no longer tied to any solid form. So what’s with that obsession?

“I believe you can tell that we’ve reached the most important stage. If you choose to act as you wish, don’t blame me for fighting you.” A cold expression swam in Siu Fu’s eyes. “And don’t forget that we share a body.”

The energy movement came to a halt as if it was hesitating and dispersed the next second.

Siu Fu heaved a sigh of relief and put his focus on Chui Yim once again.

---

The Nine Levels of Fire Mark was a secret style passed down to Chui Yim by his powerful forging master. Every mark represented a state, and this state referred to the state of fire. The higher the state, the higher the temperature.

The second mark landed on the cauldron, forcefully raising the temperature that was suppressed.

Sweat formed on Chui Yim’s bald head, but it didn’t bother him, who had all his attention on refining the weapon.

The ball of blue-black flesh melted and shrunk rapidly.

Yet Chui Yim didn’t relax as he continued exerting energliph and ate returning spirit pills like sweets. During the past four years, he never gave up on any area and was similarly a great master in alchemy. He was the first person in history to be a great master in three areas – forging, alchemy, and medicine!

Because the skills involved in refining weapons was closely related to alchemy, Chui Yim constantly came into contact with alchemy for the past four years. As for the returning spirit pills, he had a dozen or more bottles stored in his Divine Bracelet of Five Elements, so he was fine with consuming such a huge number at once.

Be it forging or alchemy, both areas required a ton of practice.

Things were the same when Ping Chi spent seven days and nights refining the Poorest Pill; he also continuously exerted energliph to sustain the cauldron fire. Now, the piece of flesh in front of Chui Yim would be a long battle too.

---

Chui Yim sat in front of the cauldron with his eyes shut.

When Siu Fu felt Chui Yim’s energliph exertion, the expression on his face changed too. Chui Yim’s energliph movement was slow, steady, and precise. The best way to describe Chui Yim’s energliph would be an old man who was pouring a barrel of wine into another barrel through a coin.

Extremely steady and precise.

This made Siu Fu stare at Chui Yim in confusion.

After six hours, smoke was emitting from Chui Yim’s bald head, and he had already finished a bottle of the returning spirit pills. However, he couldn’t help but smile when he took a glance at the item in the cauldron.

It’s about time!

With that, Chui Yim stood up, and Siu Fu was alerted too.

He watched the process from the start and couldn’t help but feel anxious. Siu Fu had a feeling that this weapon Chui Yim made would be a weapon that followed him for life.

The black piece of flesh with hints of blue disappeared under the high temperature, leaving only a pitch-black bone in the cauldron.

This was the spine of the utmost evil beast in the world – Night Tiger. If one were to take a closer look, the deep blue gliph on the surface of the bone would be obvious, shining from time to time like lightning. This gliph hurt Chui Yim mentally. It was the gliph that Netherspectre was born with!

However, Chui Yim, who was obsessed with the process, only let out a light cry.

Huff… It was as if the fire in the cauldron received an order from its master; a trace of flame went over and covered the bone!

Szz szz szz…

After being eroded by fire for six hours, the bone was left without a trace of resistance and was unable to resist the flame anymore. The black bone changed shape rapidly into the shape of a blade.

The huge corpse was now fist-sized under the refinement. Under Chui Yim’s control of fire, the flames landed on the blade differently. He couldn’t even be bothered to consume the returning spirit pills because it was at the most critical point now.

The flame that could burn everything worked like a pair of hands under Chui Yim’s control, moulding the shape of the bone blade. The flesh had turned into an extremely strong black object, and the butt of the bone became the handle!

Under Chui Yim’s extremely precise control of fire, every tiny part of the handle was crafted specially.

Chui Yim was sweating buckets with his eyes popped out.

Siu Fu was even more anxious as he knew they were in the last and most important stage.

Suddenly, Chui Yim took something out from the Divine Bracelet of Five Elements, which made Siu Fu shout. “No, Brother Chui!”
