Quoted By:
You open your eyes with great difficulty. How long have you been away from the room?
The reward you reaped this time is stupidly large. But you can't seem to recall any part of the journey.
A sad half-smile on your face, you came to a realization : while you were in the middle of your breakthrough, you were without a doubt the cultivator with the most understanding of "Growth" that have walked under the Heavens. Alas, this was merely a fleeting moment : the elusive Growth realm only manifest itself to a handful lucky first stage cultivators. Your first trip there main profit was, in fact, insight on Growth itself which let you reach the moving kingdom two more times.
Something's on your thigh : a long chain made of polished green jade linking two decorated and exquisitly carved Jadestones.
The first is scuplted in the likeness of your bounded Phoenix spirit. The second like a shooting star.
Both weights feel denser than one would expect. And something seems off with the chain itself : it flows and flows through your hand, longer than it reasonably should be. You pick both the weights, and it reduces to just a couple feet long. Perfect : it could pass as a rich and ornated bracelet. You tie it on your right forearm.
A fragment of fleeting memory came back : you find this thing back into the place you created by using your insight of growth realm and the hidden map of the poem to attune energies to the Phoenix in Growth realm - collapsing the delicate balance of the place but pulling of another Rising Phoenix related boon.
The <span class="mu-s">Jade Rising Star-Phoenix</span>
And it might not be the most impressive boon you clutched.
Both your hands opens, revealing treasures. First your right hand holds, a seed, brimming with Growth energy.
You resolve to plant it near your Immortal Cave.
Second, your left hand holds a thread. You instinctively know it can tie two persons into an unbreakable, growing bond.
You think of Ai and Dhundan. But you also think of yourself and LienWen YanEr. Yourself and Ping Jun. Yourself and any of your friends.
However, you don't feel the oppressive continuous whispering of time inevitably passing in relation to that thread. Maybe holding on it for now would be best.
>Write-in : what do of Thread?
On the intangible side, you are richer of two new techniques.
First is a Martial art. A style of unarmed fighting - a bit similar to the one letting LienWen YanEr fight weaponless.
Its name is straightforward : the Metal-melting Truefire
Second is yet another unusable technique until you can work with True Qi.
A Spiritual Art named "Crimson Tides of Life Ichor", a healing art revolving on blood - Meaning the healing is conditionned on supplying blood.
This will synergize greatly with your Hemomancer's profound Bloodstore treasure as well as your Summon Blood Shadow Wolf spiritual arts :
A blood-shadow wolf is a walking store of blood, as proved by your Blood Burst attack.
