"You look a lot bright these days, Re'Luk." Mu'Tua smiled; her eyes darted to the servant who was cleaning a corner of the room as she ntally sighed, having to use a foreign na on her granddaughter.
"Of course," Re'Kha smiled cheerfully, stuffing her mouth full as she ate without restraint, "I have no responsibilities now and can fully focus on ditation. These days are the most peaceful I ever felt after becoming a Harmoniser."
"It's been three months already…" Mu'Tua sighed. She then saw how uncomfortable it felt as she motioned for the servant, Sii to give them so private space. The servant bowed and exited the dining room, closing the door upon her exit as she stood outside. She had to remain in place until she was summoned inside once again.
Now that she could speak freely, Mu'Tua complained, "I've been researching through many docunts about regenerating the eyes. And, I have a fair enough confidence of healing you fully without any issues. But, the only thing I'm afraid of is the Ghost Qi in your eyes. I am unable to determine their functions yet."
'The mont you regenerate a new pair of eyes is when the Blinded Ghost can use its connection with you to possess your body. That is one of the reasons it does that.' Re'Kha thought about what her master had said previously as she spoke after a mont, "Grandma, in the chance you're able to regenerate my eyes without issues, will the Blinded Ghost use that to possess ?"
She then iterated the experience she shared with the Blinded Ghost in the last encounter, "At that ti, I could actually see myself through my eyes. And, sohow, the Blinded Ghost was able to take control of my palm projection."
Mu'Tua frowned as she seed to recall sothing, imdiately getting up as she rushed to her study room. Soti later, she exited the study room, prancing around the house as she shouted, "Sii, where is the docunt of the patients whose body parts were stolen by a Sha and had been treated?"
Sii entered the room imdiately as she replied after a mont of thought, "My lady, you had given it to the Clan Head a couple of years ago."
Mu'Tua stopped, nodding in realisation, "Right, I gave it to him when he was researching about the topic."
She then looked at Re'Kha, "I'll be leaving on work now. Once I find sothing concrete about it, I'll tell you."
"I planned to roam the market today for a change," Re'Kha replied as she saw Mu'Tua leave in a hurry.
"If you are short on cash, just ask Sii," Mu'Tua said and exited the house.
Sii helped her board the cycle rickshaw always on standby in their Clan, waited until the cycle rickshaw disappeared before returning to the house. She then bowed a little towards Re'Kha, "Lady Re'Luk, how much do you want to withdraw?"
"It's fine," Re'Kha waved her hands, "I have enough money for what I wish to purchase. It's nothing expensive anyways."
Sii nodded, recalling sothing as she said, "Lady Ki'Nua had sent a letter in the morning. She wanted to et you if you went to the market. I couldn't disturb you since you were ditating, my lady."
"Oh, that's nice. I wanted to see her too." Re'Kha smiled, recalling the fun conversation she shared with the three girls, "Do you have a thod to contact her? I was just planning to head to the market myself."
"Yes," Sii nodded, "We have reared so birds in the Clan. We usually use those to send short ssages to other establishnts within the city. Please give so ti, my lady. I'll return with a reply soon."
"Please take your ti," Re'Kha waved her hand, watching Sii bow and exit the room. It didn't even seem like she had realised her age, aging around the sixties, prancing around everywhere like she was only in her thirties. Though, it also ant she had received favourable treatnt from Mu'Tua, and hence her body was maintained in tiptop condition.
It was sothing she had noticed in the Mu Clan, in the tis she extended her Wind Qi perception to encompass the entire Clan. Every Clansman she noticed was brimming with vigour. They were like in their teens, hyperactive.
'It was probably due to them being in an environnt that constantly nurtured their body. The herbs, not to ntion their Pranic Avatar and its miraculous powers. All these combined might have been the cause for their activeness.' She thought.
'Right, is everything alright with my Pranic Avatar?' Re'Kha wondered. After all, a Pranic Avatar was nurtured and stored in a Harmoniser's Pranic Heart. It was more like a key to them as their bodies were condensed using the Elental Qi they consu.
But in her case, her master had fused his Pranic Heart into hers. So, she was unsure if there was anything amiss about her Pranic Avatar. Until now, she was focused on ditating and increasing her Wood Qi that she had completely forgotten about it. Before that, she never had enough Elental Qi to condense it.
After all, the minimum a Pranic Avatar needed to condense was 10 units of Elental Qi. It was why Re'Kha hadn't used it. It was also because her Pranic Avatar only had a single foundation, and could only exist for 120 breaths before it disappeared. If she summoned it when it didn't have much practical use, she was just wasting 10 units of Elental Qi.
After all, it took a full al to recover a unit's worth of Elental Qi. So, it took at least three days to generate the required Elental Qi to condense her Pranic Avatar.
And in all the battles before, either the situation wasn't suitable or she didn't have enough Elental Qi to condense it. Only now did she recall about it, wondering if it too had been through any changes.
"Only one way to find it out." On seeing how it would take so ti for Sii to send a ssage and obtain a reply from Ki'Nua, Re'Kha hurried to her room, locked the door, and fished out a Water Qi Essence.
That was one thod to recover her Elental Qi quickly.
