Murim Recurve Chapter 123

'An Elemental Qi Essence fragment.' Even without touching it, Re'Kha was able to know about it. After all, in her grey sand world, it was a sharp blank space. But, her Wind Qi perception was unable to determine which element the Element Qi Essence conformed towards.
So, Re'Kha touched the part, feeling something soft and smooth on her finger. She was unable to touch the Elemental Qi Essence, preventing her from knowing what it was. After all, every Elemental Qi Essence would allow her to perceive something upon touch.
A Water Qi Essence would make her hear the sounds of flowing water and feel like the air turned humid all of a sudden. A Fire Qi Essence would make the air feel hot, a Lightning Qi Essence would make her feel numb, and a Metal Qi Essence would make her feel heavy while a ringing sound resounded in her ears. So, it was easy to determine an Elemental Qi Essence's attribute just by touching.
Faint pores existed around the edges of the surface, modelled after their currency. It was through these was she able to extend her Wind Qi perception and detect the presence of the Elemental Qi Essence.
"This is…an Elemental Qi Essence fragment?" Re'Kha looked shocked as she gazed at Ju'Dra, "Just how expensive is this armour?"
"180 RuQi," Ju'Dra smiled, "But, most of its price stems from the Elemental Qi Essence fragment embedded into it. As the material forming the armour contains a significant quantity of Water Qi in it, the moment you activate the Water Qi Essence, the Water Qi it emits would flow throughout the armour, increasing your defence against all Elemental Qi attacks. Wearing this, you can face beasts and the Sha more daringly."
"How long…does this Elemental Qi Essence fragment last?" Re'Kha frowned, "It would be dangerous if it lost its reserves during a time of need."

"If you activate it, it can continuously emit Water Qi for one month," Ju'Dra said. Though, considering the size of the fragment, Re'Kha could also make an estimate accordingly. As long as she formed a connection with it, she would be able to determine the quantity of Water Qi in it the moment she touches it.
And, every Harmoniser was capable of achieving this. So, there wasn't any fear that Ju'Dra would make a fool out of her.
Re'Kha inspected the numerous armours Ju'Dra showed her, glancing at the defensive strength they provided her. The base defensive strength they provided was only along the level of normal armours. Thanks to the material, they were able to resist sword slashes to a certain extent without getting torn.
But, most of its defensive property arose from the Water Qi unleashed by the Water Qi Essence fragment embedded in every water-based armour. Moreover, as the material was sourced from beasts, they contained some Water Qi in them and were also good conductors of it.
So, the moment she activated them, they would be able to resist the breath attacks of beasts and the mysterious abilities of the Sha to a fair extent.
"But…" Re'Kha frowned, "The problem is the Water Qi Essence fragments. I always travel from one city to another. This entire armour would be rendered useless the moment the Water Qi Essence fragment expends all its Water Qi. There is a good chance I won't be able to visit here every time I wish to change them."
"We also have separate clips that you can swap out when one is used," Ju'Dra said, "As long as you give an advance, we would be able to provide as much as you need. Each clip costs 50 RuQi."
'The armour has lots of use and would help me a lot. But, its price is too high. I wouldn't be able to maintain this expenditure for long. And, I don't have the necessary tools to grind the Elemental Qi Essences I have to fit in the armour.' Re'Kha thought, speaking as she expressed her thoughts, "Using those clips is unsustainable. I don't have a habit of carrying anything valuable in my luggage except for those on me."

"Do you have elemental armours embedded with a Magic Artifact? Even if the amount of Water Qi it could produce is lower than this, it would still be a better option for me." Re'Kha looked at Ju'Dra, anticipating how this experienced elder before her would react.
Ju'Dra indeed frowned at her response. After all, each Water Qi Essence Fragment embedded in an armour was very small, only the size of a rice grain. He made a small profit every time someone bought a clip. After all, the clip was nothing expensive to manufacture. It was only a tool used to store the Water Qi Essence Fragment and allowed for an ease of swap.
This gave him a continuous transaction and patronage. But if it was an armour with a Magic Artifact, he would only get a one-time deal.
"We do have those," Ju'Dra sighed, "But, they are incredibly expensive. So, I have never managed to sell them."
"Can you show me those?" Re'Kha smiled, "As long as it is worth it, I won't mind the price."
"Haha, alright." Ju'Dra chuckled, motioning for Re'Kha to follow him as he reached the end of the room, pulling a lever beside as he displayed four armours. There was one per each element. Re'Kha saw how they were made to have adjustable lengths.
Currently, they were adjusted at the maximum height they could expand. As for the water armour, it was at the same height as her. After all, she was as tall as a lady from a water Clan could grow up.
Re'Kha touched the armour, feeling that the material used in making it was many times superior to the armour from before. "What…is it made from?"
"The Punou," Ju'Dra said with pride, "It took me an entire Water Season to make this. The elemental defence is the same as the previous armour, but embedded in its centre is a Magic Artifact."
"Also," He pointed at the hip, speaking, "I modified the design to make this entire strip on the hip be the Magic Artifact. This way, the Water Qi it emits would travel to the rest of the armour faster."

"I don't know who you think you are coming here, and acting like you don't care about anything. Now listen here Princess, because I'm not going to repeat myself. Here's a couple of rules that I'd like to enlighten upon you. Number one, you do not talk back to me. And two, you don't mess with me or the rules," his breath fans my face and I close my eyes. The proximity between us was terrifying. "I've dealt with many bitches like you, so I suggest that you follow those rules unless you want to end up like them," - he leans in. His mouth lingers near my ear, "used."... "... You might think that you run this place, but you do not run me. Understand? And the sooner you understand that, the better it'll be for the both of us," I warn staring right into his eyes before walking away. I was more than amused by his dumbfounded expression. I stop, and turn back around, facing him, "And one piece of advice, know what you're fishing for before you start fishing. What if you find a shark and it reels you in, instead?"⇒Highest rank: 1 in Chicklit on 01.08.16
