Chapter 1884 Restoring Ryuli's Weapon
"Your…luxury healing instance is a one hit wonder," Ryuli said as she could feel that she felt brand new. With the exception of the need to regain her chi naturally, there was not much problem with her body at all. The only problem that she had was the War Umbrella now broken.
"You can head to our blacksmith, he should be able to either fix it… or throw your War Umbrella away and give you a new one," Jin told Ryuli about the Three Head Bear Blacksmith and she laughed.
"Can that bear really make a War Umbrella for me? Usually, I had to go to the northern parts of China to get it sorted out and I bought quite a few War Umbrellas just so that I do not usually go back there," Ryuli replied.
"You cannot hurt and give it a try. Considering now that you are part of the store, he should be able to hook you one War Umbrella easily." Jin commented as he opened the portal and brought the Ryuli there instead of riding the train to his store.
The Three Bear Smith was already working on many other weapons that were on queue but when the cultivators saw Jin, they did not hesitate to say hi to him. "Sorry, guys just need to Mr Big Bear over there for a moment."
"What do you need?"
"You mind creating a War Umbrella? Her's broken." Jin was straight to the point. The Three Headed Bear stopped what he was doing for a while and all three heads went close to her and sniffed her.
"New Employee?" The Three Headed Bear used the System Channel to communicate and Jin nodded quietly to not disturb the current scene too much.
"Give me her broken weapon. I see if I had a spare." The Blacksmith said as Ryuli passed it to her and he examined it a little before asking if it is okay to throw it away. Ryuli casually nodded her head and the Blacksmith went into his 'storage' room that was what most of the Cultivators thought. However, that room was not just a place to keep his materials but it was also equipped with a hypertime dilation module that allowed him to work on emergency stuff like this to make sure that he got time to do some work for the monsters and minions and use the time right within the shop open premises for the cultivators.
This way, the cultivators would know that they were not cheated of their time and money since the Blacksmith would always return and produce their items within the time limit. This was no different as a few minutes later, the Three Headed Bear Blacksmith came out and showed Ryuli a brand new War Umbrella. This time there were even the Azure dragon motifs on it.
Even though all he did was a grunt, the Three Headed Bear was actually talking within the System Channel, saying that the System had already informed him of her relationship with Seiryuu. "I so happened to have a few pieces of certain metal and cloths that had high water affinity. This should be able to keep you dry during rainy weather and assist you in battles."
"How much?" Ryuli asked and the bear raised up its paw out which she promptly took out five stacks of pure cash and placed it on the table from her storage ring. "Enough?"
The Three Headed Bear Blacksmith took a peek at the cash denotation on the stacks and was delighted that it was more than sufficient. Thus, he nodded his head as he decided to even throw in a free gift like a scabbard for the War Umbrella to her.
"Is this really a free gift, looks like you prepared beforehand and used it to earn brownie points from her," Jin asked and the blacksmith glared at him for a moment. Ryuli unexpectedly smiled at this interaction and thanked the Three Headed Bear for this aid. And this allowed the Blacksmith to return smiting stuff for Jin's customers. "There are training dummy spots outside of the Blacksmith for those who wish to try out their new weapons," Jin said and Ryuli was hesitant at first since she checked the time, thinking she needed to report back to the Internal Security Agency soon. But then, who gives a shit about her timing when she's one of the top few agents in the agency?"
"Alright, that's a good feature for the blacksmith store. Gives you time to check out your new weapon and report it if it doesn't work as intended."
"Usually it's more like it worked too well and it took so much chi that they needed to go back to reduce the quality a little so they could handle the chi consumption a little better," Jin said as they found a spot that was available for them to test out.
At the same time, Ryuli was wondering if she were to concentrate fully on just Sei's water abilities, would she be a better combat agent? After all, she never really had a proper name for her cultivation mainly because it was an imitation of the Dancing Dragons Style that she got it from her mother. And the ambiguity allowed her to work with multiple elements.
But there was nothing wrong with taking up another style since Dancing Dragons was ultimately a foundational base style before it became a specific cultivation style. But there was nothing in the Royal Dragon Zodiac Archive's compendium about Seiryuu so if she were to use Sei's powers and make the Dancing Dragons her base, she probably has to create a brand new style.
And since she is right in front of the dummy, she might as well try creating the first technique. The War Umbrella was opened and with a slight twirl, water chi started to move around Ryuli until a Water Dragon Form emerged, floating above her War Umbrella.
"Dancing Azure Dragon Style, Flying Water Dragon Technique," Ryuli said as she closed the umbrella and pointed at the dummy. The Water Dragon Form immediately flew and crashed into the dummy, causing it to be knocked out of its original spot. "Your dummy is weak," Ryuli commented.
"No, it is your technique is too strong… That dummy is meant to handle Grade 18 attacks."
"Oh? Oh… OoooOh!" Ryuli looked like she was delighted by the change and asked if she could try it again.
