"Hey Bathias.
- <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-b">Oh, Quiet Word. You're coming for advice related to your incoming trip? Or you're finally coming for proper guidance?</span></span>
- No, it's not that. Not today at least - maybe another time. I'm interrested into methods to evaluate one's potential... A master of the main branch ran a test involving captured spiritual beasts and I had an idea to improve on it...
- <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-b">Yeah?</span></span>
- And I wondered if we had some kind of string that could work as a link to the spiritual world and physical world...
- <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-b">That is oddly specific... Hang on.</span></span>"
He leaves you here and there, standing for a good hour - which you diligently spend working on your foundation, before coming back.
"<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-b">Here you go. </span></span>
>Obtained Spiritual Thread!
You can bind the spiritual thread to a Spiritual Beast captured in a Spiritual Bead.
For now, you stockpiled the work in progress in your Immortal Cave. You don't have much more time to refine it or presenting it to anyone.
Of course you still need to calibrate your device. And there is that whole matter of fighting and absorbing a spiritual beast you'll have to be wary of.
>Departure to the Golden Skystone Village
Those days have come and pass in a snap of fingers. You're called again by Ryota, which hands you two pieces of papers.
"<span class="mu-s">Take this. Third Realm-level Spiritual Blade Talisman and Spiritual Armor Talisman. Spin your energy inside to activate them.
Think of those like life-saving insurances.</span>
- What's an insurance?
- <span class="mu-s">Something's that's good to have but bad to use. We're waiting for someone else... There she is.</span>"
You have the surprising pleasure to learn you're leaving with Kyo Ko. Bathias is going on his own to the Mist village, while Gro Ta, the Poison Whale kid is going to the Water Cove.
The five of you stands in the courtyard while Ryota takes out three wood swords, with a scroll tied to the hilt.
"<span class="mu-s">Inborn Technique : Sword Control art - Coordinate acquired - Launch!</span>"
One by one, Ryota takes the sword, focus, and hurl them in the sky at a frightening speed. the three swords rise, then turn and shoot forward to their destinations.
"<span class="mu-s">Messages says they'll be honored by the visit of a cultivator from the main branch. Now let's try to find out what's happening there.</span>
A few fasting pills packed, and you're on the road with Kyo Ko.
"<span class="mu-b">So I hope you have something better to move around than the Horse from last time?</span>
- I do."
You summon said Silver Warrior Horse. Under the circumspect gaze of your elder sister...
"Hawk's alacrity!"
Pulling in your reserves, the Horse run. This is slower than the burst of energy from your <span class="mu-s">Unlimited Rising Star Kick</span>, but more sustainable.
Wait, Kyo Ko is sitting behind you?
"<span class="mu-b">That... that will do.</span>"
>Write-in : you have a fair bit of travel time. What do you want to do in your stops? Anything you want to ask/tell Kyo Ko?
