Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 523

Cultivating blood energy was the core style of the Metallic Blood War Gate.

Being an excellent student at the institution, Chor Huet Zhin had the chance to use this special skill and create a gliphility, Bloody War Strike, by combining it with styles from other clans. The part on using blood energy in the gliphility originated from the Metallic Blood War Gate.

Chui Yim immediately knew what was going on when he sensed that Lee Bak had reached the two-chambered state. “Have you prepared the one million silver taels?” He raised a brow.

“Long ago. I can send it to Brother Chui whenever it’s convenient for you.” Lee Bak was still smiling widely.

“Then I’ll have it tomorrow.” Chui Yim waved his hands, and his reply placed a wide smile on Lee Bak’s face.

“Thanks for the trouble, Brother Chui!”

Chor Kwong Laan, Wong Chow Yip, and the others were greatly confused, but Kam Chin Kee knew that Lee Bak was talking about Matchless Guardian that Chui Yim made him.

Matchless Guardian was tailor-made for the one-chambered state Lee Bak back then. Chui Yim chose to use many precious ingredients so it would be able to hold many gliphs, and Chui Yim would be able to add on more gliphs for Lee Bak when he moved on to her higher cultivation states. This was Chui Yim’s plan for Matchless Guardian when he created it.

In short, Chui Yim planned to make a low-grade weapon with grade-five materials so that there would not be any negative effects when he carved new gliphs in Matchless Guardian, allowing the weapon to level up with the cultivator. They decided that every improvement for the weapon would cost a million silver taels.

And Lee Bak was sighing in happiness now at the cost. He had made the right bet, as weapons customized by the seventh teacher would be way more costly.

There were definitely points that set Southern Heaven Inn apart for it to survive in South Imperial City. Rather than fancy tricks, the chefs only made the most classic Southern delicacies such that even Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee, who ate food made by Lam Ming Sum and Hui Sai Cheong on a daily basis, enjoyed their food. Chui Yim was most satisfied with the restaurant's wine.

The restaurant was famous for the wine they served – the variety of wine they served, to be exact. Southern Heaven Inn never made their own wine, but they imported wine from all parts of the world. There was the Mountain Flame Wine of the Blazing Skies Mountain, Four Seasons Heaven's Reincarnation Wine, Clear Springs Wine, Thousand-Mile Aroma of the South, and many more. As long as one could afford it, they had everything one could imagine.

The group of friends ate as they chit-chatted. Chau Chung was so drunk that he even jumped onto a table to dance and accidentally broke it. Wong Chow Yip laughed too hard and was gasping for air, while even the serious Chor Shing Chit couldn't help but laugh at the funny scene.

A teenager in white with a folding fan on his waist arrived at the restaurant.

“Young Master Lee, the same private room on the fifth floor again?” the shopkeeper asked.

The teenager shook his head and looked up at the ceiling. The restaurant was nine stories tall, but it was as if he could see the happy party on the seventh floor. “I'm going to the seventh floor today.”

“Young Master Lee, that’s against the rules.” The shopkeeper was slightly stunned, but Young Master Lee only turned to him expressionlessly.

“No. I'm abiding by the rules. The rules of Cloud Palace.”

Something passed through the shopkeeper's mind and he wore an ugly expression. “Does this mean that Young Master Lee holds no regard for Southern Heaven Inn?”

The teenager was still as composed, but there seemed to be many tiny swords swimming in his orbs. “What right does a servant like you have to say such things to me? I even drank tea with Uncle Tin two days ago.

“Get lost,” the teenager said no more and made his way up.

The group of friends were having a great time. The party only lasted for two hours, but Chui Yim, Chau Chung, and some others had already consumed quite a few jugs of wine. Only a few of them like Chor Shing Chit, Kam Chin Kee, and Lee Bak toasted each other from time to time, mostly watching the rest with a smile.

Suddenly, Kam Chin Kee stood up.

Drunk, Chui Yim turned to Kam Chin Kee. “Get me a few more jugs of wine.”

“Alright.” Kam Chin Kee smiled bitterly.

Chor Shing Chit roughly felt the aura. “You need help?” The small black eagle on his shoulders wore a ferocious expression, ready to fight.

“It's alright. He's here for us so we should deal with him personally,” Kam Chin Kee replied with a smile.

He turned to his friends with a smile. “Excuse me for a moment and continue to enjoy yourself.”

Some of them did not feel it, but the others long felt the sharp sword aura from the stairs.

Kam Chin Kee went down the stairs confidently to see that the spacious sixth floor was totally empty.

It seemed that the Southern Heaven Inn workers had already chased everyone away.

A teen in white and a folding fan at his waist made his way up the sixth floor the moment Kam Chin Kee made his way down.

He was a handsome teen, looking just like a pretty boy. Sadly, his eyes were positioned a bit too high; it did not affect his appearance, but the more one looked at him, the more arrogant he seemed to be.

He was currently staring at Kam Chin Kee with a sneer that conveyed his great disdain and arrogance.

“Where's Chui Yim?” He did not speak to Kam Chin Kee with respect like the public would. “There's no rush. I'll come for you after I defeat him.”

“Haha.” Kam Chin Kee smiled sweetly. He did not move a single bit as he stood at the staircase.

“Maybe it's the weird Cloud Palace rules that you should blame.” The teen pulled out his fan and opened it with a pop. “The rule that Itinerants cannot reject any challenge no matter the location or timing.

“That's exactly the reason why I can freely challenge both of you, fair and square, even when you are hiding in Southern Heaven Inn.”

Kam Chin Kee remained silent with a smile on his face, not slightly affected. This made the teen's smile fall.

Kam Chin Kee's smile annoyed him. In his mind, Kam Chin Kee should already be kneeling on the ground, asking for him to let him off. Does he think that we are still the kids of four years back? I am no longer the kid who just broke through my innate chamber and has an unstable cultivation.

He was now a single-gliphic cultivator at the peak, and he would have the chance to step into the ten-gliphic state in one or two years’ time. He was one of the best cultivators in the Lee Clan's history.

So how could Kam Chin Kee be his competitor?

He already lost interest in speaking to Kam Chin Kee. All he wanted to do now was defeat him, and then Chui Yim on the seventh floor.

“Lee Clan's Lee Bat Fan officially challenges Cloud Palace.”

Of course, who else could the teen be than the most outstanding disciple of the Lee Clan, Lee Bat Fan?

“What kind of challenge?” Kam Chin Kee was still wearing a smile.

“Battle, naturally.” Lee Bat Fan raised a brow.

“Alright, I accept the challenge.” Kam Chin Kee made a move for the first time. He placed his hands out with a sweet smile. “Please.”
