Murim Recurve

Re'Kha mentally willed, watching the Wood Qi Essence stop emitting Wood Qi. She then stayed in the same pose, meditating for some more time before using her storage ring. The moment she used it, the storage ring absorbed some of the Wood Qi remaining around.

Re'Kha fished out the bag her master had given her, taking out the book, Bodhi from it. It was a Spirit Artifact.

Artifacts were classified into three: Magic Artifact, Spirit Artifact, and Celestial Artifact.

Normally, a Harmoniser only used basic metal weapons. At most, they would add the bones or other materials from beasts of their element to make it possess some conductivity for their Elemental Qi attacks. A Harmoniser cannot afford to have anything extra.

Then came the Magic Artifacts. Each Magic Artifact was made from Elemental Qi Essence. The Elemental Qi Essence consumed varied based on its size. So, the bigger it was, the more expensive it turned out to be. It was also more powerful this way, since the concentration of Elemental Qi it could emit was greater.

Depending on the type of equipment it was forged into, the materials of the beasts used also varied. And, it took at least a year to forge a Magic Artifact. So, each Magic Artifact was heavily valued by each Elemental Clan. They were only taken out to use upon times of necessity.

A Clan's foundation was the number of Magic Artifacts it possessed. Just that alone showed how valuable they were.

Next came the Spirit Artifacts. Re'Kha only knew the fact that Spirit Artifacts were wielded by beings that stood above the Martial Masters. A Martial Master was a being who stood at the peak of the realm of a Harmoniser. Details beyond Martial Masters were classified and were usually only disclosed to the head of each Elemental Clan.

So, individuals like Re'Kha didn't have any possibilities of getting to know information about them. The only thing she knew was the fact they were addressed as Celestial Kings.

Finally, at the top of the Artifacts was the Celestial Artifact. Re'Kha didn't even know anything about Spirit Artifacts, not to mention Celestial Artifacts. 'Though, judging by the name, if there exists a being who can wield it, then there's only one.'

Her race's Celestial Emperor, the being that stood at the absolute peak of her race, the race of Kalki. Only he might wield a Celestial Artifact.

Judging based on what her master said, the book named Bodhi was actually a Spirit Artifact. Just that alone implied her master's identity wasn't simple. Though, Re'Kha didn't know of any use for the book, except that it contained a lot of knowledge that she would gradually unlock.

Re'Kha held the book in her hand and placed the bag within her storage space. She then flipped to the second page, infusing her Wood Qi into it. Thanks to her comprehension session, she could circulate two units of Wood Qi in her meridians.

The moment she infused her Wood Qi into the second page, something seemed to peer into her from it after which two units of Wood Qi were fully sucked by it. Immediately after, a formless Qi radiated from the page and impacted her.

Re'Kha immediately felt the familiarity in the Qi. It was the same thing she experienced when she had opened the first page and when she was inducted into her Clan's cultivation technique after becoming a Harmoniser.

Kalki Qi!

That was what the elders in her Clan called it. It was the purest form of Qi produced by her race. But normally, the quantity they produced was minimal to the extent they were unable to sense it. Normally, the Qi flowed in their meridians, a circuit that developed in their bodies after birth as their Pranic Heart grew.

And, through their Elemental Qi perception, they were able to notice the flow of the Elemental Qi in their meridians. But, that was all they were able to sense. This fact was only helpful in training their Pranic Art and understanding it further. Other than that, it had no other use.

Based on what she had been taught, Re'Kha knew that the Kalki Qi was present in her body and circulated through her blood. And, unless she realised its existence, she would be unable to perceive it flowing through her body.

And, such realisation was what they termed as Awakening. Every race had its respective Race Qi. And, anyone capable of perceiving it was termed a Martial Master. Moreover, there were distinct changes to them when they began to perceive and control their Racial Qi.

In the case of the Kalki, it was the opening of their third eye. The third eye was shut from birth and never opened for most of the populace even until their death. Only in someone that had awakened would the third eye open.

Once it happened, they didn't even need to wear their Tikka jewellery. Their third eye would give them all the protection they need. But, an awakening was difficult. The conditions to awaken were different for different individuals and usually depended on chance, luck, fate, etc.

As for Re'Kha, she hadn't felt anything of the sort. Now, as the Kalki Qi seeped into her, a vast surge of information settled in her mind, condensing into a Pranic Art. The moment the Pranic Art condensed, the Kalki Qi disappeared.

The Kalki Qi was also used to impart the cultivation technique, and her Palm and Hand Projection. So, Re'Kha was used to it. It was the most efficient method devised by their Celestial Emperor that allowed everyone to learn the techniques without a single mistake.

The ingenuity in the technique basically eradicated human error and ensured every Harmoniser only learned the technique in its original correct form, whether it be their cultivation technique or a Pranic Art.

The process was also swift, taking naught but a couple of breaths in time. Moreover, since it functioned using their Racial Qi, foreign races couldn't obtain information from them.

The moment Re'Kha understood the Pranic Art, she smiled, "So, It's a Pranic Art from the Wind Element. Finally!"
