Chapter 594
What caught the trio’s eyes was a cylinder the size of a small building placed on the peak of the mountain.
Kam Chin Kee and Lam Ming Sum were confused, but Chui Yim knew that it was a glacier bench that had a diameter of at least five meters and a height of more than ten meters!
The entire glacier bench was carved with countless gliphs, of which Chui Yim could identify about eight, while the other intertwined gliphs were tough to identify.
Chui Yim secretly took a sharp breath. His Nine-Dragon Flame Gathering Cauldron might’ve been extraordinary, but this glacier bench's material wasn’t even identifiable to Chui Yim; he could only guess that it was a scarce and valuable metal.
And this meant that it was exceedingly pricey
However, Chui Yim was still able to tell that it was different from Mok Ching Sau’s disciple Yau Suet Chung's glacier bench that was entirely made of Ice Jade. This giant glacier bench still contained Ice Jade, but it was mixed with a type of metal that Chui Yim had never come across in the books or seen before.
This metal was a perfect match with Ice Jade, and the chilliness Chui Yim first felt on the peak was emitted by this glacier bench despite the low surrounding temperature!
If Yau Suet Chung’s glacier bench cost a fortune, Mok Ching Sau's glacier bench was beyond this description; it was way more than a fortune, it was worth more than a city! It was a treasure for his clan to be passed down to the future generation!
Standing at the edge of the glacier bench, Mok Ching Sau looked as if he was standing in front of an iceberg. Seeing Chui Yim, he nodded in acknowledgment, to which Chui Yim returned the courtesy by putting his hands together.
Mok Ching Sau wasted no time and got straight to the point. “I have held this event before, and I apologize in advance for showing my lack of skills in water-casting.” Mok Ching Sau spoke so gently, yet he was able to overpower the howling wind, which proved his precise control over energliph.
That was no surprise since he was a water-caster, a career that required precise control of energliph.
“Today, I'll make a grade-four gliphic weapon.” Mok Ching Sau got to the topic quickly, and other water-casters and spectators stared at him with admiration. How many smiths in the world were willing to create a grade-four gliph weapon in public for others to learn from their experience and skills?
Kam Chin Kee turned to Chui Yim, who was already focusing on the stage fully.
Mok Ching Sau waved his hands.
Thud thud thud thud. Four heavy items landed on the sides of the glacier bench.
They were four wooden barrels.
“This December Cast, I'm going to try something new. I will be casting a long rod today with these ingredients; the North's Blazing Skies Mountain's Scorching Spring, Nether Ice Water from the end of the Red River, the Eastern Sea's Seamless Horizon, and Ceremony Mountain’s special spring water.
“Everyone knows that Ceremony Mountain is uniquely blessed, embodying the profound mysteries of the two principles and myriad phenomena. It is the most suitable place for harmonization.
“I'll first congeal the Scorching Spring water and Nether Ice Water separately and balance them out with Seamless Horizon and Ceremony Mountain's spring water to merge two properties into one.”
Mok Ching Sau calmly stated, while low murmurs of admiration appeared around him. “Splendid! What an idea to harmonize Seamless Horizon and Ceremony Mountain spring water…”
Of course, some people were dismissive. “Is it really that simple? Scorching Spring water from Blazing Skies Mountain is extremely hot due to the mountain's topography, while Nether Ice Water from the end of the Red River is the extreme opposite – it absorbs the cold from the Nine Hells of Chill. How can they be harmonized as one wishes?”
“It's Master Mok who's doing it, and nothing's impossible for him.”
“Tsk… an idiot who believes in others blindly…”
“What did you say!?”
Amid the heated discussion, Mok Ching Sau continued to work calmly. He waved his hands casually, and two water dragons simultaneously rose from the large wooden barrels.
One emerged with waves of hot steam, contending with the surrounding cold, and another appeared with a hint of frost within, looking nothing like a stream of flowing water.
The dragons halted in the air before landing inside the glacier bench.
The water dragons plunged into the glacier bench, causing a thunderous sound. The glacier bench was just like a huge barrel filled with water. However, this was no ordinary water but cold liquid processed by water casters. Even though the spectators couldn’t tell what was going on, the situation seemed to be a big deal.
It seemed like there were two parts to the glacier bench, one of the sides boiling and the other creating condensation.
Mok Ching Sau sat at the edge with his legs together, seemingly ignoring the situation, but his focus was already inside the glacier bench, controlling every change.
It had been one and a half hours.
The boiling sound grew increasingly intense, while the rising cold mist became equally dense.
Compared to fire-forging, grass-refining and water-casting focused more on further enhancing materials that already carried unique properties.
At this moment, Mok Ching Sau opened his eyes and waved his sleeves. Water dragons rose from the remaining water barrels into the glacier bench.
The barrels naturally carried the Eastern Sea's Seamless Horizon and water from Ceremony Mountain.
Eastern Sea's Seamless Horizon was sourced from a forbidden area deep within the Eastern Sea. The water turned the color of flames during sunset, as if echoing it. At this time, the water was deadly to humans, but it possessed a unique combination of the softness of water and the fierceness of the sun, attracting many aquatic gliphic beasts to inhabit the area. With these traits, the water was naturally a unique type of material, especially invaluable to water casters.
When these water dragons plunged into the glacier bench, they no longer boiled and misted distinctly like before, but merged into one. Along with the previously added Seamless Horizon, light smoke rose from the glacier bench, colorful and mixed, forming a world of its own.
Mok Ching Sau was no longer as calm and indifferent as before. He looked at the spectators and saw the young bald man staring at his work.
A thought arose.
Whoosh…
He waved his hand continuously, the sleeves of his aqua-blue robes turning into afterimages, his movements seemingly some type of call to the thick cloud hanging in the sky. The hourglass cloud began moving slowly.
“My goodness!”
“What on earth is this…?”
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh…
As the rotation speed increased, gusts of wind howled, and sharp cold wind could be felt! Under the spectators’ astonished gazes, the hourglass-like cloud gradually extended downward. Towards the glacier bench.
So this is the skill of a grandmaster in water-casting?
