"Wait. Can we at least trust those pills? What if they're laced with poison?
- <span class="mu-b">That bandit friend of yours seemed too simple to pull something like that, but good call.
Send one... Mmh mhh... Jey are glean, regular bills</span> - Kyo Ko spit back the hard ball of medicine.
<span class="mu-b">I don't predict a great Bandit career to that LuoBin.</span>"
With that settled, you devote the next week to an insane speed - burning all your obtained pills (Okay, mainly Kyo Ko burning through your pills to keep up on the long range).
A bit better than expected, you made it back to the sect in one week. The only thing in your mind while closing the remaining distance in familiar land : Bed, bath and something other than fasting pills to eat will surely feel amazing tonight.

Basically, they sold the goods to the Symphony of Gilded Waters Sect. Quiet Word settled things quietly and nicely.</span>
- Here's a down payment for the late taxes - money and a few materials - a letter adressed to you from Golden Skystone Patriarch, and the two talismans.
-<span class="mu-s">I see. Great work you two. Let me read that... Looks like you'll have to get back to the Golden Skystone Village in a few months.</span>
- Quick question : we made our best to come back before Transplanhumance. Did we?
>The roll was for the day of Transplanhumance start
- <span class="mu-s">Missed it by 12 days.</span>"
