YM778.TV Chapter 258 - Sect Entrances
"My eyes…look normal now!" Re\'Kha exclaimed in shock, looking at her appearance in the mirror, gazing at Mu\'Tua excitedly, "Wow, you have an amazing item in your hands, grandma."
"Of course," Mu\'Tua smiled, sighing internally with a forlorn expression, "I had to act as a spy during my younger days. Since we are able to heal ourselves from any injury, we Harmonisers from the Mu Clan are also trained and sent to other countries as spies."
"And, each race looks completely different from one another, whether it be the eye colour, body size, shape, the number of limbs, etc. So, to disguise ourselves accordingly, just a layer of covering isn\'t enough. Rather, it just raises suspicion among the foreign races. So, we have created Magic Artifacts that help us in achieving it." Mu\'Tua patted Re\'Kha, rubbing her bald head.
She then sighed, telling Re\'Kha, "Every day, use this item to turn your eyes blue. This way, you can avoid most of the suspicion and troubles."
She then gave Re\'Kha the second item, a long tube with thin bristles at the end, blue in colour, "This too is a Magic Artifact created in the capital. This helps dye your hair. It is unlike the normal dye that normal spies have access to. As I had to infiltrate their equivalent of a Harmoniser Clan, I was given this item."
Saying so, she patted the item once, "This Magic Artifact works similar to the eye Magic Artifact. It completely changes the inherent colour of your hair. So, whether your hair comes into contact with water, acid, poison, fire, etc. its colour will never change for a month. You have to apply the colour every month, since the moment its duration of effect ends, your hair will revert to its natural colour within ten breaths."
"And, for both the Magic Artifacts, you can only use them once your hair and eye colour revert back to normal. So, you have to keep track of the time you applied and apply it immediately after its effect vanishes. Keep that in mind, alright." Mu\'Tua looked at Re\'Kha, telling her the ways to use the tube-shaped Magic Artifact, also informing her of the other know-how of the two items.
"Thank you, grandma. You made my life easier," Re\'Kha teared up, gazing at the reflection, realising that she no longer had to keep on hiding herself and lie at every turn of her life. She was never a fan of lies and having to lie made her feel horrible.
At least, she would no longer have to worry about her appearance and be able to roam around normally without looking suspicious. She had enough of the gazes she received while in Burfuna city.
In Burkurel City, it would be even more difficult since a lot of people were able to recognise her appearance there.
"Anything for you, my child." Mu\'Tua patted her head, "Be safe, don\'t antagonise your mother too much. She is an ambitious individual, so as long as you don\'t hinder her or look like a threat to her enemies, you will be able to avoid most of the conflicts."
She then made eye contact with Re\'Kha, "Besides, you have 12 units of Water Qi now. So, it\'s time you are prepared to enter the Water Sect. You\'ll have the best environment to improve yourself there."
"Besides," Mu\'Tua said with a derisive sneer, "Just like most of the Elemental Clans, your Burkurel Re Clan only has two Pranic Arts. And, a Hand Projection is not versatile enough for your use in future battles. But in the Water Sect, you\'ll be able to learn many Pranic Arts."
Her voice turned serious, "And, only in the Water Sect would you be able to develop into a bonafide Harmoniser. Despite her inferior talent, your mother used the opportunities in the Water Sect to grow leaps and bounds in strength. That\'s how she was able to push aside all opposition and reach her current position."
"Also," She took a parchment, writing down some instructions on it, "The competition to enter the Water Sect is tough, since all the water-based Harmonisers or normal people trying to become one from all over the country attempt it. So, even if you fail to enter it, don\'t be hard on yourself."
She finished inscribing details on the parchment, giving it to Re\'Kha, "The Water Sect only accepts the water-based Harmonisers and trains them to the limit and develops them in many fields other than fighting too. But, you should also remember that four other sects accept all Harmonisers."
"There\'s the Southern Sect in the state of Gasha, Western Sect in the state of Warle, Eastern Sect in the state of Pilthki, and the Northern Sect in the state of Dishe. There, you\'ll primarily be trained in the way of fighting as everything you learn there will be related to that. And, chances of entering there is relatively higher as compared to entering the Water Sect since there are four of them. And, if you have exemplary performance, you\'ll even obtain the opportunity to enter the Central Sect that\'s directly under the eye of the Fourth Celestial Emperor." Mu\'Tua took in a deep breath, feeling exhausted after speaking without break.
She then exhaled, "So, one way or another, enter a Sect, and don\'t return to your Clan until its volatile atmosphere has settled down."
"I\'ll do that then," Re\'Kha nodded, looking at the scroll, opening it to see that a lot of dates and locations were specified on it.
Mu\'Tua informed her of the details, "They show the places the entrance exams to the four Directional Sects would be conducted and the time of the year they occur. I have also included the exam location to the Water Sect just in case your Clan\'s politics hinder you. One way or another, escape from that chaos before you are swallowed up by it."
"I\'ll do as you say, grandma." Re\'Kha bowed in gratitude. For, Mu\'Tua had helped her a lot over the past few months, not expecting anything in return. Moreover, she also understood that Mu\'Tua was shouldering a lot of risk by lending Re\'Kha the two disguise items.
If it was discovered, she would be killed immediately by the Royal Clan, no questions asked. Just the fact that she was willing to risk her life to help her made Re\'Kha grateful to her, vowing that she wouldn\'t ever do anything that would trouble her.
Evening approached as a cycle rickshaw stopped before the house. And exiting it was a lady with a regal aura, her every step suffusing with dominance.
-----------------------
From the 18th of August, the voting system will change. Power Stones would be replaced by Golden Tickets. And, every GT has an immense value that would directly support the novel\'s serialisation.
You can obtain it in the following way: 1 GT for spending 300 coins (Stacks up for every 300 coins)
1 GT by gifting worth 300 coins
1 GT for buying a membership
It expires every month, so cast it on Murim Recurve (You\'ll get a GT even if you spend on other novels, but you must put it here.)
If you have spent more than 300 coins last month, you\'ll be awarded one GT this month on the 18th. Don\'t forget to vote for Murim Recurve with that. I promise to release an extra chapter for every 20 GT. (PS. I have a 20 chapter stockpile~)
