A walled region within a walled city, that was the Burkurel Re Clan. The walls weren't as tall as the city walls though, only spanning a height of eight grown men. There were numerous stations across it, acting as guard towers as the Guards nurtured by the Clan were stationed in the place.

Most of them were basic Harmonisers, only having one unit of Water Qi to use. And the only Pranic Art they knew was the Water Qi Palm Projection. It was easy to make normal people into Harmonisers. After all, the cost of it was very little.

​​

As long as the instrument inducing them into Harmonisers had enough Kalki Qi, they could create more Harmonisers. But for most of these Guards, they would remain in the same position for almost all their lives.

Only if they did a significant contribution would they be given a couple of Prana Stones to increase the level of their Water Qi. Similarly to the Guards, the Burkurel Re Clan also raised an army of soldiers, stationing them at the Burkurel Re Clan's Central Settlement.

Quite a few among them, the significantly talented soldiers had become Harmonisers, possessing one unit of Water Qi. As for those that led them, they were Harmonisers from the Re Clan, possessing commanding positions.

This was the basic setup followed by all the Clans, the Royal Clan included. After all, in any given Elemental Clan, there were less than 400 active Harmonisers. And considering their vast property, resources, and estates, they needed a large group to handle everything.

And here came the Harmonisers with one unit of Water Qi, those emerging from the common populace. They acted as team leaders, each leading a team of five or ten, depending on the situation to get the job done.

And if they proved their worth, they were promoted. And, in cases where talented individuals emerged among them, possessing significant affinity to the water element, they would even be married into the Burkurel Re Clan. And that would be a permanent elevation of their status.

Currently, the carriage with Re'Kha arrived at the northern entrance of the Burkurel Re Clan. The Guards stationed at the gates immediately recognised the carriage, opening the gates to allow entry, not even making an inspection.

As the carriage passed by, they saw the face of Re'Bah through the window, immediately performing a collective salute as they watched the carriage move past.

On seeing the familiar surroundings, Re'Kha sighed. 'There doesn't seem to be any changes to this place.'

As the Burkurel Re Clan was situated in the south, it hadn't faced much damage. After all, the horde of beasts, animals, and the Kalhas had attacked from the west. So, most of the damage was concentrated in the Ju Clan's territory and the western district.

There were some levels of damage in the southern district, but nothing in the Re Clan.

From the entrance spanned an arching bridge, traversing a significantly long distance. And underneath it was a river, divided into numerous streams.

And, every stream moved in the opposite direction to one another. And, swimming with the stream was a certain type of fish. And, settled at the bottom were what seemed to be gems.

The gems radiated a gentle blue light, keeping the entire stream lit. And, the water in the streams was pristine, transparent. The cause was the fish that kept it clean. And, even though the streams were moving, there wasn't any inlet or outlet. They were just circulating throughout the Re Clan's boundary.

There existed branching streams that coiled around pieces of land, making them islands in the place. And on every island lived a family, having enough houses according to their needs. And even here, there were differences in the size of the land and the building on it.

The larger the land, the greater the family's wealth. And the closer they were to the Clan's centre, the greater the authority they possessed. Numerous bridges connected one island to another. And throughout the place passed a central bridge, like a tap root, connecting the Clan's northern entrance to its southern entrance.

Though, this central bridge wasn't a straight line but rather winded around certain areas. And, even though it was nighttime, Re'Kha was able to notice the hill that was situated in the centre of their Clan. It was the residence of their Clan Elders.

As for what existed on the hill, she didn't know, for she hadn't ever obtained permission to scale its top. Rather, only the Clan Head was permitted to reach it.

The hill was pretty tall, a scenic landmark of Burkurel City that was the exclusive property of the Burkurel Re Clan. From its peak, one would be able to see the entirety of Burkurel City and beyond.

One could say the Burkurel Re Clan had the most significant territory in Burkurel City. And just the scenic advantage they possessed caused the weight their name had in the hearts of the regular populace to be greater than the other Elemental Clans.

After travelling for some more time, the carriage eventually reached one of the largest islands in the Clan, positioned west among the four largest islands. Situated in the centre of the island was a rather large pond, symbolising the place.

After all, at the entrance to the island were large words inscribed on a massive stone pillar, 'West Lake'.

It was their residence. The entire island was her family property. After all, among the five heads that governed the Re Clan, Re'Bah was one of them, the West Lake Head.

More than twenty servants stood at the entrance. And, carried alternatively among them were lanterns to light up the place.

The moment the carriage stopped, all twenty servants bowed simultaneously, "We greet the West Lake Head!"

Re'Bah descended the carriage, gazing at Re'Kha as she spoke, "We'll talk in the morning. Now, return to your house."

"Alright," Re'Kha nodded, alighting after her mother, feeling relaxed the moment she stepped foot on the place. No matter how much she disliked the chaos of the place, at the end of the day, she was fish in the water here. After all, she had grown up on this very island.

From the 18th of August, the voting system will change. Power Stones would be replaced by Golden Tickets. And, every GT has an immense value that would directly support the novel's serialisation.

You can obtain it in the following way: 1 GT for spending 300 coins (Stacks up for every 300 coins)

1 GT by gifting worth 300 coins

1 GT for buying a membership

It expires every month, so cast it on Murim Recurve (You'll get a GT even if you spend on other novels, but you must put it here.)

If you have spent more than 300 coins last month, you'll be awarded one GT this month on the 18th. Don't forget to vote for Murim Recurve with that. I promise to release an extra chapter for every 20 GT. (PS. I have a 20 chapter stockpile~)
