Chapter 473


    “Erm… ah?” Chui Yim couldn’t believe his ears.


    <em>Thud!</em> Something heavy fell to the ground.


    Mung Si red towards that direction. “Listen if you want, there’s no need to hide like a mouse.”


    Kam Chin Kee and Yeung Tin Hun walked out from behind the decorative hill sheepishly. Yeung Tin Hun even secretly suspected that the heavens must be blind that a bald teenager like Chui Yim could capture a girl’s heart…


    Mung Si turned a blind eye to the other two boys. Being Mung Si, she came well-prepared to confess to Chui Yim.


    “But due to my young age, it might just be infatuation.” Slowly and calmly, Mung Si exined, as if she was not the one who had a crush on Chui Yim, especially with her caramel skin covering the blush on her face. “So give me some time, and visit zing Skies Mountain when you return from Cloud Pce. Then, I’ll confess to you again if I still cannot get you off my mind.”


    Chui Yim’s jaw dropped to the ground. He thought he was starting to get to know this tough girl, but the way she just cut off her own confession still left him lost.


    “I’ll await your return.” With that, wings grew from Mung Si’s ankle and she disappeared in a ball of me from the garden, leaving only a long trail of me behind.


    She felt her cheeks burning, but it didn’t take away the determination in her eyes. Mung Si, be it towards cultivation or rtionships, was always this determined and straightforward.<hr>


    Seven days is neither excessively long, nor was it a short time.


    Chui Yim was overwhelmed with tasks during these seven days. Firstly, he had to put his weapon auction business on pause, which Chau Chung showed understanding for and even gave a twist to. He cancelled the previously nned auctions, stocking up anding up with a marketing gimmick.


    “Thest works of the seventh teacher before he heads to Cloud Pce!”


    Chau Chung could already imagine the sess with solely this title!


    Not only that, Chui Yim had Chor Shing Chit help him take care of the Wandering Son’s Lake residence. After a year of staying and the events that had taken ce in this house, he already bore feelings for this ce and hadpletely purchased it. He didn’t worry much as tidying a house from time to time would be nothing to the huge Chor n, especially given its close location.


    However, Chui Yim had a surprise guest today.


    He was currently in the living room enjoying piping hot tea with the guest.


    “Brother Choh, I’m so honoured to have you visiting my residence!” Chui Yimughed.


    Brother Choh was none other than the grass-refining grandmaster Choh Hang Sang. “Brother Chui, I’m here to ask for a favour.”


    “Brother Choh, please speak your mind.” Chui Yim was slightly taken aback.


    Despite their age difference, Choh Hang Sang and Chui Yim got along well as age did not matter when it came to learning, only knowledge did, and this was applicable to all aspects of life. In forging, Chui Yim had the right to see himself as on par with Choh Hang Sang.


    “Since Brother Chui says so, I’m going to be straightforward,” Choh Hang Sang said with all seriousness before he stood up from the chair and knelt to the ground with a plop!


    “Brother Chui, I wish to learn forging from you, and if you’re willing, please take me in as your disciple!”


    Greatly shocked, Chui Yim stood up, wanting to hold him up. “Please don’t, Brother Choh! There’s no need to do this!”


    “No, Brother Chui!” Choh Hang Sang looked at Chui Yim. There was no cloudiness in his eyes, only passion and ambition.


    “Does Brother Chui understand how tough grass-refining is? Compared to fire-forging, grass-refining doesn’t have a strong foundation. It’s better than water-casting, but not by much.


    “I, Choh Hang Sang, have spent my life on grass-refining, starting from twelve, reaching the state of great master at fifty and grandmaster at seventy.


    “I might be in the four-chambered state, but it was all thanks to the precious g-food and ingredients that I consume. My lifespan will onlyst thirty more years at most.


    “I’m not afraid of dying, but the thought of being unable to achieve a breakthrough in the area of grass-refining makes it hard to die in peace!


    “However, I saw hope when I saw Brother Chui’s weapon refining that day!” Choh Hang Sang’s eyes were swimming with deep-seated enthusiasm such that Chui Yim couldn’t look straight at him. “Do you know that I’ve been researching this idea for the past several decades? I might be on par with Brother Chui in terms of forging, but I dare say that nobody surpasses me in this world in terms of grass-refining.


    “And I felt it the moment I saw Brother Chui’s weapon refining – that’s the only method to bring grass-refining to greater heights!


    “Brother Chui! If you’re willing to teach me the method, you’ll be my master from today onwards!”


    Choh Hang Sang gave Chui Yim a kowtow. He looked like a maniac instead of a grandmaster right now.


    “Haish…” Chui Yim sighed, understanding Choh Hang Sang deeply because he was someone like this too.


    Be directed to the right path early and leave the world feeling content when lifees to an end.


    The further one goes down a path, the tougher it gets. However, life is better with guidance. For example, with a master in Chui Yim’s past life, he never met with a bottleneck and even seeded in creating a divine weapon, the pinnacle of forging.


    Without guidance, it was as good as being in a pitch-ck maze where one had to figure their way out. Small progress sometimes would leave one ecstatic, but it might turn out to be a dead end, and the hard work continued.


    This was the difference between having guidance and having none. Like antern, guidance lit up those in the pitch-ck maze.


    It might not lead to the exit, but at least you’d end up with fewer wrong turns.<hr>


    “Brother Choh, please get up, I agree.”


    “Really?” Choh Hang Sang looked up immediately, thrilled.


    He was aware of what weapon refining meant – being able to create powerful weapons with fewer ingredients. This method created by Chui Yim might surpass the unbeatable superiority of zing Skies Mountain with its geographical location of volcanoes and earth fire!


    Their geographical location and their sect leader being a divine cksmith were the reasons why only zing Skies Mountain could make grade five gliph weapons today. Not only so, but their sect leader Yim Yung only managed to step into the divine state because of that advantage!


    In summary, without a divine cksmith or earth fire, no one else would ever be able to make grade five gliph weapons, but Chui Yim’s method solved this problem!


    With weapon-refining, the alchemy cauldron’s pressure could substitute for the high temperature of earth fire by increasing the temperature many times over to one suitable to create grade five weapons.<hr>


    “Yes, but I have a request,” Chui Yim said. “Treat me like your brother, not your master.”


    “No!” Choh Hang Sang shouted subconsciously. “How can I forget the gratitude towards my master!” He immediately kowtowed thrice after this. “This is the ceremony of bing your disciple.” With that, he passed Chui Yim a teacup speedily and downed his own. “You’re now officially my master!


    “Disciple Choh Hang Sang greets his master!”


    It was no doubt a weird scene to watch an elder looking at a teen with great respect.
