Murim Recurve

Re'Rak and his team returned to their encampment, proceeding about with their tasks as they geared up to reinforce Burkurel City. An army of three thousand headed towards Burkurel City, attacking the beasts and animals that had gathered around the region.

They pincer attacked the rampant beasts and animals, timing with the army from Burfuna City. The army from Burfuna City numbered ten thousand. They were part of the first wave. It was what Burfuna City could put together in a short timeframe. They were preparing their main army to be sent after that, for gearing them up would take a lot of time.

Re'Rak had remained behind in the encampment, giving command from the rear while preparing their camp for when the rain stopped.

"My lord, you have a letter." A soldier knocked and entered his room. Perched on his hand was a bird, the same as what the messenger had sent before. But this was different from that, a Pranic Avatar of a different individual.

Inki!

It was the name of the Pranic Avatar of the In Clan—The Clan of messengers. It specialised in high-speed flight and boasted the highest survivability in the air. Despite its smaller stature, its feathers were metallic, able to resist more than one hundred arrows, a lightning strike, torrential downpour for days, etc.

Its speed was to the extent it could reach the capital city from the Bura Fort within a quarter of a day. Its constitution also allowed it to swallow and safe-keep things in its stomach while it flew. It was how messages were transported from one city to another.

The moment the soldier entered, the Inki flapped its wings and landed on the outstretched arm of Re'Rak, chirping once as it spat out a cylinder. Once it was done with its job, the Inki flew out of the room and exited their camp, flying in the direction of Burkurel City.

'The City Lord replied so soon?' Re'Rak was surprised as he motioned for the soldier to leave, closing the door as he opened the container, pulling out the parchment from within. He looked at the words on the top, surprised as he read it, "Dear Re'Rak, this is Mu'Tua…"

His body shuddered as Re'Rak was unable to conceal his excitement. He was relieved, as if a weight on his chest was lifted. "Re'Kha is alive."

His heart thumped as his eyes moistened; Re'Rak continued to read the parchment, soon frowning as Mu'Tua explained some of the experiences Re'Kha had recounted to her. She also mentioned how the Blinded Ghost had stolen her eyes.

"The eyes on its front, positioned in the place where its eyes should be if it had one; so, those are the eyes of Re'Kha." Re'Rak noted, etching the detail in his mind, "If I come across it, I should be cautious enough to not damage them by mistake."

He then read further, reading the final sentence Mu'Tua had written, "Don't reply to this letter, I know it has reached you. Let Re'Kha stay with me for the time being. Your wife might learn of her survival through her information network sooner or later. So, until then, let Re'Kha get some peace of mind. I'll also try my best to return her sight to her."

"You're the best as always, aunt Mu'Tua." Re'Rak laughed and burned the parchment, destroying all traces of the message. 'My child is alive and well now. That's all that matters to me.'

He sighed in relief, continuing about his task as he soon received a letter from the City Lord, beginning to prepare accordingly, "The Ju Clan went overboard this time."

…

Re'Kha cultivated nonstop, comprehending the wood element without rest. She was fully immersed in the experience brought about by the saturated Wood Qi. Moreover, she perceived a clear fact, her comprehension of the Wood and Wind elements was only average.

If she continued with it naturally, then she would at most obtain a unit worth of Element Qi—wood or wind—per year, if she focused on one element alone. It was largely inferior to her talent with the water element where she could comprehend three units worth per year naturally.

But, that all changed with her transformation. In her excited state, once ten breaths had passed, she transformed into a Bisheen. In this form, her talents were reversed. Now, she was able to comprehend three units of Wind or Wood Qi per year naturally. It was a considerable upgrade, no different from her talent with the water element in her original form.

Moreover, this was a natural talent. Comprehending while in a saturated, 100 percent pure environment brought about by the Elemental Qi Essence was even faster.

Mu'Tua helped her at times, ensuring she was never disturbed. She also made sure Re'Kha had proper meals and rest. As for the rest, she allowed her to comprehend her element without any disturbances.

If not for the fact she felt something dangerous would befall on Mu'Tua if she talked about the organisation that killed her master, Re'Kha would have given her an Art of the Elements she had obtained.

From what she perceived, through great difficulties, while in the saturated environment, one of the Art of the Elements conformed to the Mu Clan. It seemed to be something that would create a beneficial healing environment where people would heal automatically upon entering.

She was unable to glean the information of the rest, for it was too complex. If Re'Kha gave it to Mu'Tua, she would have to explain where she had obtained it. It would mean revealing sensitive information to her that would endanger her life. She didn't want that, so hadn't spoken anything about her situation ever since.

She only spoke of her experiences with the Blinded Ghost, for that was her target and Mu'Tua planned to come up with a scheme to help her. Time passed in such a manner. Her life became repetitive.

Finally, on the 10th of Early Fire month, Re'Kha opened her eyes, smiling as she returned to her original form, "It's finally done. It took me only three months to comprehend a unit of Wood Qi. As expected of a saturated environment made by the Wood Qi Essence."

"It's time to learn the next technique."
