Death… And Me

3030  For Now

Rean showed no interest in the things inside the weapons, formations, and talisman rooms. There were some things there that could be used by Foliana. However, it was also a fact this place was created when the Werdlem Empire had just arrived. From what Globian's Spiritual Sense said, it was more of a contingency against the Werdlem Empire itself. The weapons, pills, talismans, and the other things in this place were simply... not on par with the same articles you could acquire nowadays with Werdlem Empire's Highly Advanced Technology.

Foliana knew little about them, but hearing Rean's explanation, she had to admit he was probably right. "Then what do we do with all these things?"

Rean pointed at the weapons and gave her an option. "Well, even if no one would buy those weapons in their actual state, they can still be dismantled and melted to use their materials. There are a lot of rare materials in them. You could at least sell them as forging materials."

Foliana scratched her head. "But if I try to sell all of these rare weapons, anyone will be able to tell I found something incredible. That would make me a target to the cultivators outside, no?"

Rean had to admit she was right. "So you will keep them all? The Spatial Rings I gave you definitely fit everything inside without problems. You can simply think about selling them in the future. Or, you could sell them slowly. A family's heirloom here, a ruin's spoil there, an old friend's somewhere else. Do you get my gist?"

Foliana nodded. Rean was basically telling her to never sell in the same place, never sell more than one, and come up with some story for how she found the weapons. That way, she could earn quite a lot of Spirit Stones and stay fairly out of the radar of stronger cultivators. "Then I will do as you said. By the way, Rean, don't you want any of them? You said you can forge weapons, right? I use dual blades as my weapon. How about you use some of them to forge me a pair of blades for my cultivation realm, and that will be the payment for whatever you take from them?"

Rean kept insisting he would pay for anything he got, so she thought about that method to give Rean what he wanted.

Rean pondered a bit and nodded. "Well, truth be told, I'm a really, really good blacksmith. Very well, I will use these weapons' materials and forge a pair of dual blades that will bring the best of your latent potential out for each cultivation realm. You are still in the Core Formation Realm... that means you need seven pairs of dual blades."

"Ea...each cultivation realm? Seven pairs?" Foliana took a deep breath. She wanted just a single pair for her actual level. She didn't mean she wanted a pair for each cultivation realm. Before she could refuse, Rean swept all the weapons he needed in that room into the Dimensional Realm. "Alright, I got enough to make your weapons and forge myself some new weapons as well. The rest you should put in your Spatial Ring and sell slowly. Oh, right. To make the best weapon possible, I will need your help during the forging process. We will do it when we return to the Capital."

Foliana sighed and nodded. She truly felt like she was getting too much out of this. She was supposed to have died in the first place. "Okay... What about the talismans?"

Rean caressed his chin. "Hum... I won't lie. I don't know much about talismans. And, from what I can see here, pretty much all of them already lost their powers. All I can see are a few enhancing and concealing talismans that are still usable. However, even they seem to be at their last breaths. I wouldn't recommend using any of them."

"And the materials used in talismans can't be recovered either..." Foliana felt it was a pity, but she believed Rean.

They proceeded to the Techniques Repository. As a proper old-fashioned inheritance, there were no terminals or databases. All the techniques in there were saved into Jade Slips. "I wonder if I can find one here..." Foliana murmured to herself.

Rean took the Jade Slips and shared their information with Roan through their connection before putting them back. Although they were probably worse than anything Roan could make, Roan still insisted that any knowledge wasn't a waste. He is always looking for new insights.

*Bzzz...*

Rean's sense caught something, and he looked behind. Foliana was holding a Jade Slip while lightning elements gathered around her. Judging her cultivation and the precision of her control, Rean could affirm she had Lightning Element Affinity. However, that lightning, which was usually blue, became red a moment later. 'Hum? Red Lightning? Fire Element? Can she use both? No, that is different from having to manipulate two elements at the same time...'

It wasn't the first time Rean saw a double elements user. Rean himself could use Light and Fire if he wanted. He had seen plenty of cultivators and demon beasts who could do the same with diverse elements. Yet, the manipulation being done by Foliana was different. It was more like those two elements were not merged but were like that from the start...

The sparks of Red Lightning then disappeared as Foliana shook her head, disappointed. "Still not there..." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Rean smiled at that and asked out of curiosity. "Were you merging Lightning and Fire Elements together? You got quite an interesting result there."

"Merging?" Foliana looked at Rean, puzzled. "My Elemental Affinity has always been like this Red Lightning, so I'm not sure. Perhaps I am indeed."

"Always?" Rean pondered a bit. "I see... You have a bloodline, right?"

Foliana didn't try to hide. It wasn't a secret anyway. "Yes. I don't know what kind, though. Everyone in my family can use it. Well, to be honest, pretty much everyone in my family is much better with it. My talent is pretty poor."

Rean agreed with her. "That's true. You do have quite a subpar talent... for now."

And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. ;)
