You're back at the Market. With a bag full of materials - a couple feather from the sect's treasury, your Feathered Twirling Bo(w), the Flame found in the danse realm.
There, a familiar figure already.
"Fairy Bamboo Grove? I'm here to meet Seamstress Sylv Viang
- <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-g">Please, call me Seller Bamboo Grove. And sure thing...</span>
- <span class="mu-s">So you've thought on what you want exactly?</span>
- Yes... Seller Bamboo Grove? Could you fetch me the Vegetal Cristal Dagger and the Vial of Crystal Phoenix Essence? My store credit should cover it."
You start to unpack your things.
"So, I gave a good thinking about your instruction. Let's make a Banner. I want you to use the fabric for the flag itself, and this branch for the shaft.
It should bind nicely together as it shares the Growth trait. This thing have freshly been taken from a Spiritual Plant, so you should be able to graft the Cristal dagger on the top.
Then, it's simply a matter to merge the Phoenix-Cristal powder in the dagger and migrate it into the flag. I'd appreciate if you could draw the emblem in the shape of a Rising Phoenix.
- <span class="mu-s">That's... quite a contrived plan. I can surely make it work. You want the result to hold some of those other energies stemming from that branch?</span>
- Astral self. But this is only the first half of the design. You can bridge this Feather using that Feather. Speaking of Hawk energy, I also need you to somehow bridge this Flame through this weapon-thing. The resulting object should exhude affinities of Growth, Movement, Astral Self, Body, Spirit and, of course, Phoenix.
- <span class="mu-s">Forgive me, Marketer... I shouldn't have quoted anything before having the full plan in hand... I won't make that mistake twice concerning you, little boy.</span>
- That's it?
- <span class="mu-s">Not quite. I'll need some of your Qi. Inborn True Qi to be exact. Here. Take Qi from your dantian, spin it in a string. Do it again.</span>"
This takes you most of the day, and would be the most boring thing ever if it wasn't for the excruciating pain coming along. At the very least, the diverse cursewords from the seamstress are almost entertaining enough to alleviate the pain. You go back to your sect, where you cultivate diligently for a couple days, before coming back to the market - where the Marketer and the Seamstress wait for you.</span>
