3048 Meeting Foliana Again
Laica"s group left the hotel with Rean and they bid farewell to each other not long after. The capital had teleport formations to the Gondel Clan, so going back would be fairly easy. The only question was regarding their presence in the capital or back in the Gondel Clan. After all, they were supposed to have been killed in the Spiritual Canyon.
"Hum?" Rean looked at them. "How would I know? You guys can simply tell the truth or come up with some excuse. It doesn"t really matter. Now then, I"m leaving. See you some other time."
Before Laica, Lesyu, or Tubutu could say anything, Rean disappeared from their sight. In the end, they could only make their way back to the Gondel Clan... or so they intended to. However, Laica was smart, so she used her CD to contact Kuslau first. At the moment, no one knows they have left the Spiritual Canyon. Perhaps Kuslau would rather keep that secret like that.
Once he got far from Laica and the others, Rean took out his CD and called someone. "Hey there! I"m out already. I"ll rent a forger here in the capital, so come over so that we can finish our deal."
Around an hour later, Foliana arrived at an isolated Workshop in the Capital, still followed by her protectors. She told them to wait outside and made her way in. The attendant there was already waiting for her and guided the girl to the forger on the back, where she finally met Rean again. "So you truly had a way to escape the Spiritual Canyon..."
Rean smiled at her while he worked on melting the weapons he was going to use to forge. "You must always have a contingency plan."
"How did you do it?" Foliana asked, not feeling surprised about Rean"s methods anymore.
"Let"s just say I used that place I brought you inside," Rean smiled and didn"t give a full answer. "Hey, Tony, how are you doing?"
Tony"s Spiritual Sense spread from the Divine Werdlem Stone. "I"m doing pretty fine, actually. I have to say, your work on reconnecting the Meridians and the Dantian was superb. I still can"t see any flaws in the flow of Spiritual Energy, and I doubt there will be any regarding Divine Energy either."
Rean was happy to hear that. "What about you, little girl? How has been your cultivation in these past few days?"
Foliana nodded, already expecting that question. "It has been absolutely incredible. I would say my cultivation speed is at least ten times faster, and I don"t even have a cultivation technique for my bloodline."
"Right, cultivation technique..." Rean remembered she was looking for such a thing in the inheritance. "What kind of cultivation technique are you using at the moment?"
"The Three Ways Lightning Flow," Foliana answered and then pa.s.sed a message to Rean"s CD.
Rean quickly opened the message. It had the full version of the Lightning Element Technique. "Not bad. Did you get it in the Royal Library?"
Foliana confirmed. "I did indeed. The cultivation techniques back in the inheritance were just too out-of-date. None of them applied the Werdlem Empire"s finding of the body and cells."
"It makes sense," Rean didn"t find it strange. "Back then, the cultivation didn"t even know the concept of cells. How could a cultivation technique take that into account? This technique isn"t bad, but it lacks when it comes to the Fire Element of your Red Lightning. Let me see if I have something better."
"Which means, do you have anything better, Roan?" Rean asked through their connection.
Roan"s mouth twitched. "Do I look like some kind of encyclopedia?" Sure, he memorized all the cultivation techniques he saw back in Lisan and his own created version. But that didn"t mean he was a library ready to be open at any moment.
"Come on! We got quite a few good things from her inheritance," Rean insisted.
"And we paid it back several times over," Roan retorted. "However... maybe a cultivation for her Red Lightning can help me understand how to copy it with your Yang Energies."
*Zush!*
Suddenly, Roan appeared in the room out of nowhere.
"Ah! Who are you?" Foliana was taken aback.
"It"s my brother," Rean explained and continued to work on the weapons. "He is just using a different appearance. Well, he is scary regardless of what face he changes to, so you should see the similarities."
"Can you just f.u.c.king shut up already?" Roan glared at Rean before returning his attention to Foliana. "Alright, little girl. I need to check this Red Lightning of yours. Hey, idiot, how long will it take for you to forge her weapons?"
"At least five days," Rean answered. "I"ve never worked with Red Lightning Before, so I will have to try some different things until I get the best result."
"That should be enough." Roan nodded.
Still, Rean found it strange. "What about Yuan? Did you leave him alone?"
"Look inside the Dimensional Realm," Roan only gave that short answer.
Rean checked it and saw an unconscious Yuan fallen inside the enormous pool of Pristine Elemental Liquid, which was basically the water of the Spiritual Pond. Yuan was back to real form as a Horned Cloud Shark as well. "Did you knock him out?"
"What? Did you expect me to keep watching him for the next five days?" Roan snorted back. "Keep dreaming! He"s your problem, not mine. Sister Orb will make sure to keep him sleeping in there while we work here."
"Who"s Sister Orb?" Foliana and Tony asked out of curiosity. Sister Orb hasn"t appeared even once during the time Tony had been in the Dimensional Realm, after all. "You don"t need to know that," Roan cut her off. He then grabbed her hand and ordered. "Now, channel your Red Lightning through your Meridians. Show me how you would usually cultivate without any cultivation technique."
"Eh? Why?" Foliana asked, curious.
*Pah!*
*Ouch!*
Roan hit the back of her head. "Just stop wasting my time and do it."
Feeling wronged, Foliana could only follow his orders.
And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. ;)
