Not a word is spoken while going to the treasury.
In front of the sect's coffer, the answer to "which spirit pick" question is far from trivial.
On one hand, the Golden Halberd Hawk Spirit would fit well your Mounted Fighting style.
On the other hand, what is more important than intelligence?
Three pillars create a cultivator : Body, Soul and Mind. Every cultivators work their body tempering and their soul cultivation; most neglect sharpening their intellect.
You are on a path preventing this mistake. Chosing a spirit improving slyness is one more step on the way.
Wait. Picking the bead yourself might be courting death already - you feel the Hawk Spirit in your soul already rousing, ready to fight the unbouded ones.
"Master, I'll chose this one. But for safeness sake... can you hold it for me before I conduct the fusion ritual?"
That makes Ryota laugh, defusing slightly the tension. Both of you gets back at his office, writing to Marketer Golden Eye, Silver Tongue before going back to your chore and diligent cultivation.
The next day, you're in the market.
"<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-g">Welcome honored guest. You're lucky : I found a client ready to buy at such a short notice your... unique product.
Now, if you'll follow me...</span></span>
- My Master is coming with me.
- <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-g">Of course, of course.</span></span>"
You're brought once again in the closed room with paper doors, which close on the three of you.
On a table, a pot of hot water is waiting with tea leaves and two cups.
"Alright master... Here's what I'm selling."
You unfurl the rags layered around the teapot, its shine soonly filling the room.
You brew the tea, almost in trance. You wait for the perfect moment, and pour two cups. The Marketer takes one of the cup, smiles, have a short bow and takes his leave.
You and Ryota stare at the steaming hot cup. Your nose skill let you know the drink is overcharged in Growth energy.
Your teapot have dimmed in return.
"<span class="mu-s">I see. Where does the Teapot comes from?</span>
- I was lucky enough to fall into Growth realm.
- <span class="mu-s">Really? What does this empowered tea do?</span>
- I have completely no idea. But this cup is for you."
Ryota smiles, takes the cup, drink it down.
Around fifteen minutes later, the Marketer is back with your money.
"<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-g">I'm devastated to anounce you this special drink didn't met our client's expectation. Thus, I'll rescind my offer to buy more in the future.</span></span>"
