Murim Recurve

Re'Kha recalled everything related to her current cultivation technique, Mist Banyan. She activated her Wind Qi perception and observed her surroundings. In the range dominated by the Wind Qi Essence, her perception was sharp and detailed, as if she had regained her vision.

Even though it was still the grey sand, the level of detail and the various shades of grey allowed her to perceive and link to the real colours based on memory. She felt the movement of the Wind Qi, its disorderly nature, and its lack of stability.

It proceeded in any direction that allowed it to flow. Its path was never straight, but in spirals that randomly zigzagged and changed planes. She had just begun to gaze into its workings when she felt a warning of sorts go off in her mind. It was triggered by her cultivation technique.

Re'Kha fell to her base state, sensing her Wind Qi return to her Pranic Heart and flow out as Water Qi. A couple of breaths later, she entered her excited state, activating her Wind Qi perception.

Getting interrupted every 10 breaths was an irritating feeling, but she didn't have an alternative. That was what she had to deal with to get stronger. Her only solace was the fact that she possessed both Wind Qi Essence and Wood Qi essence. They increased her comprehension speed, making up for the interruptions.

Moreover, they were enough to last her a decade even if she used them extensively. So, Re'Kha wasn't vexed, but thankful. Even if it delayed her strength progression due to the greater number of elements she had to comprehend, it resulted in her possessing greater methods, elevating her ability to a whole new level.

Re'Kha forgot the passage of time, occasionally stopping to consume medicine and food before resuming her comprehension. It was a slow process, something that couldn't be rushed.

After she awakened to the water element at the age of 15, Re'Kha had comprehended 12 units worth of Water Qi in the span of 4 years. In her Burkurel Re Clan, that was already a feat in itself which labelled her as a genius. Even beyond her Clan, very few were capable of this feat. And those who were capable of doing so were nurtured into the Clan's successors.

A Harmoniser would normally comprehend a single unit of their respective Elemental Qi in a year. Anything below, and they were unsuited to be a Harmoniser, as their progression would be too slow to achieve anything quantitative.

A Harmoniser that could comprehend two units of their respective Elemental Qi in a year were hailed as those with talent and formed the core foundation of any Clan. Ones like Re'Kha were rare and seldom appeared in a Clan. Currently, in her Burkurel Re Clan, there existed one other Harmoniser apart from Re'Kha with such a talent.

Finally, there existed those who were capable of comprehending four units of their respective Elemental Qi in a year and were laureled as absolute monsters, appearing once a century. Such people progressed through the ranks at a rapid pace. This was in the case they possessed one Element.

Many Clans cultivated more than one element, so the progression of their Clansmen was a lot slower than the Clans that only cultivated one element. Cultivating a second element doubled the time needed to cultivate a unit worth of Qi. After all, they would obtain the qualifications to increase their Qi by one unit only after they comprehended both the elements accordingly.

Cultivating three elements tripled the time needed to progress further. Barely any clans cultivated three elements to avoid weakening themselves too much. The only exception was the royal family that cultivated four elements—all the elements their race was capable of wielding.

"Once I comprehended all three elements to 13 units, I would have to head to Earth and obtain the necessary Qi to boost myself," Re'Kha frowned, "But, in my blind state, how will I even progress through the quests there? Unlike here, there exists no Elemental Qi on Earth, so I am completely blind there."

"I'll deal with it when the time comes," She sighed, peering into the two Aeki placed beside the bed. One of them contained food while the other contained water. It seemed the household had placed the two there just in case they wished to hide and survive in the secretive room.

Judging by their preparations, everything a person needed to survive was installed in the place. Re'Kha craned her body, groaning as it ached after sitting for so long. She deactivated the Wind Qi Essence and put it back into her storage space. She ate her fill and arrived before the vat with the coins.

The vat was as big as her, filled to the brim with money. She placed the lid on one side and began to segregate them based on their denominations. Most of the coins were 1 RuQi that she threw into the empty trunk.

She put the 2 RuQi coins into the lid while piling up the rest in batches on the floor. Re'Kha was surprised more and more as she pulled out money from the vat. There was just too much of them stored in it, "Just how much did they rob to accumulate this much? Otherwise, no household can possess this level of money."

She decided to call them robbers for now based on one reason, they possessed Harpen Waves, which was a property of her Clan. Any Magic Artifact would be inscribed with the logo of its respective Clan to prevent theft. This was in the case finders could identify the owner and return it to its respective Clan for rewards.

Moreover, even if someone stole a Magic Artifact, they wouldn't be able to use it in public to avoid being caught, which would diminish its value.

After all, Magic Artifacts were the most cost-efficient way to combat the Sha, which was one of the highest order of threats that destroyed the daily lives of numerous people. It was the sole purpose they were created.

As the household belonged to the organisation that killed her master, she didn't wish to leave them scot-free. "Once I recover a bit more, I'll begin my preparations."
