Chui Yim, Kam Chin-Kee and Chau Cheung left the auction house as the center of attention. They knew that most were staring at them greedily due to the sky-high price they had just paid. Furthermore, he and Kam Chin Kee were only thirteen years old, making them seem like easy targets. Luckily, they were in the South Imperial City, so most could only suppress their evil thoughts and leave.
Kam Chin Kee took note of them as he knew that things wouldn’t end so easily. They were safe now as long as they were in South Imperial City. But he and Chui Yim would definitely be attacked if they left.
However, Kam Chin Kee wasn’t worried about the danger. He was confident in his strength as long as he completed the Heaven-grade puppet and reached the three-chambered or hundred-gliphic state. Chui Yim was the one he was worried about.
But the thought of them facing their future together made him smile. “Since that’s the case, I’ll protect him.” Chui Yim was willing to spend money recklessly for him and even borrowed money from Choh Hang Sang on his behalf. They were brothers through and through.
“Let’s hurry back; I can’t wait anymore.” Kam Chin Kee laughed.
“Let’s see what’s so great about this everlasting wood.” Chui Yim nodded.
Once they returned to their residence, Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee went straight into the workshop. Lam Ming Sum, who had already prepared food, was displeased. She sulked while she sat at the table to wait for them.
They both took a careful look at the small piece of wood in front of them. It seemed completely different close-up. This ordinary, crappy piece of wood was so natural…each and every pattern seemed to be infused with nature’s aura. Kam Chin-Kee and Chui Yim stared at it, bewitched.
When they got back to their senses, Chui Yim spoke. “I saw obvious signs that my father in this life is a very powerful gliphist. To him, everything in this world is or is part of a gliph. Since you aren’t in a rush, take some time to observe it closely and see if you can comprehend anything.”“What about you?” Kam Chin Kee asked curiously.
“I can feel the vibes of this gliph, but its stable aura doesn’t suit me.” Chui Yim shook his head. “I might be affected if I continue, so just tell me if you need help once you start on your puppet. I wonder what Ming Sum made for dinner…” With that, Chui Yim left, mumbling to himself.
“He…: Kam Chin Kee shook his head and laughed. His gaze landed on the piece of wood once more. Chui Yim was right; the aura suited Kam Chin Kee well. He might even develop his own personal gliph if he was lucky! Thus, he shut his eyes and calmed down to focus on the wood.
A pavilion in the Evergreen Palace. It was a small, hexagonal pavilion built atop the lake.
There were gentle white lights around the pavilion that might go unnoticed if one wasn’t attentive. The lake was light yellow, but surprisingly, it wasn’t muddy. There were colours rippling across the lake, attracting one’s focus. Within the pavilion was a flight of stairs descending into the lake.
The only way to enter the lake and survive would be by going down the stairs. One wouldn’t even know how they died if they jumped into the lake directly.
Waiting in the pavilion was a figure with a turquoise robe in his hands. His gaze was fixated on the stairs as if waiting for something. But when he looked at the light yellow lake, there was fear and worry in his eyes. This lake was called the Citine Ghost Lake, a forbidden area in the Evergreen Palace. In this world, only the talents recognised by Emperor Lam were allowed to enter.
Rumours have it that the lake’s water was from the yellow springs in the underworld. Nobody knew if the rumours were true, but the waters of the Citrine Ghost Lake were terrifyingly corrosive; an ordinary human would be fully corroded within a few seconds if they touched it!
However, things were different for cultivators. They could prevent this from happening with their energliph. This lake became well known ever since a cultivator discovered the special effects of the lake.
Special body forms could be triggered with items, cultivation styles and more. One such method was the Citrine Ghost Lake. Special body forms that have yet to appear might be dormant in one’s blood, and this lake was able to help trigger the body form.
To now, one-third of the special body forms in the Heaven-Earth-Human Rank was discovered thanks to the Citrine Ghost Lake. Not only was it a special entity, but it was also a terrifying monster that ate humans. Countless cultivators, including several Lam Clan members, have died in the lake when they tried to activate their special body forms.
This was why Yam Chui Ying wanted to dissuade Lam Zaa from entering the lake. He looked at the stairs, worried. Today marked the last day a one-chambered cultivator could survive in the lake. If Lam Zaa didn’t exit the lake, he would be declared dead. The path of cultivation was full of danger and chance.
If you passed one hurdle, a whole new world would be waiting, but if you didn’t, it represented your death.
er splashed up, and Yam Chui Ying’s gaze focused on the stairs again. He saw a naked teenager coming up the stairs, his striking blue hair resembling the waves.
Yam Chui Ying returned to his senses and immediately passed the robe he held to Lam Zaa. “Your Highness, you’ve returned!!” Yam Chui Ying was obviously agitated, and Lam Zaa flashed him a gentle smile. Yam Chui Ying looked at Lam Zaa oddly, who looked the same in all but his aura.
“This Citrine Ghost Lake trip helped me understand how important one’s strength is.” His voice was filled with exhaustion, symbolising the extreme suffering he experienced in just a few days. Because of Kam Chin Kee’s outstanding performance, Lam Zaa gritted his teeth and persevered through the pain.
Now in his blue robe, he looked both elegant and gentle. Meanwhile, Yam Chui Ying felt that Lam Zaa had grown quite a lot physically.
“I haven’t missed the interschool exchange, right?” Lam Zaa’s blue hair swayed in the air as his gaze turned cold.
