Murim Recurve Chapter 120
Advertisement
Re'Kha held a bow that was almost half her height. Its build was stable and the arrows it shot were fast and packed a lot of power. It was a decent bow, nothing remarkable about it. Still, it was a type of bow many preferred to use.
So, Re'Kha would be able to use such a bow in the wilds after taking it from her slain enemies. That was why it was better to get accustomed to it. In this way, even when she takes the bows of her enemies, she wouldn't need to spend time to get used to it and directly work it up like normal and shoot arrows with the same accuracy.
"We have a lot of arrowheads for this, my lady. Do you have any requirements for them?" The shopkeeper showed her to a drawer where a lot of arrows with different arrowheads were placed.
The shopkeeper showed them as he implied their use, "This one with a blunt tip is for stunning the foes. We also have a sharp tip for the heavy one. The range is reduced in this case, but it can penetrate most armours."
He then iterated numerous other arrow tips. Re'Kha listened in on what he said, finding some new arrowheads that she hadn't come across before. Each design had its use, and as she usually only used some arrowheads, Re'Kha found it enlightening.
Eventually, she picked the normal arrows she was used to, getting at least 40-50 arrows. She then picked 5-10 of the other arrows that she felt were interesting, planning to train with them first before purchasing them in bulk.
The arrows she chose cost 1 RuQi for 20 arrows of each. They were cheap arrows. Chances were, they would break after hitting the target once. Re'Kha also picked up some quality arrows that could be used tens of times, unless they slammed into boulders.

Re'Kha frowned after choosing all the arrows, looking at the shopkeeper as she spoke, "Do you have elemental arrows?"
"Elemental arrows?" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment before he broke into a sweat, "We have some of them, my lady. But they are expensive. And, if you need more of them, I'm afraid my shop alone cannot produce them in a short time. Almost all our stock has been taken out by the army that has been dispatched to Burkurel City."
"It's fine," Re'Kha nodded, "Just show me the ones you have."
"Alright," The shopkeeper nodded and retreated into a section in the shop, coming out with a suitcase that he placed on the counter, opening it to reveal some arrowheads that glistened. In her Wind Qi perception, they were blurry blank spaces."
"The majority we have now are from the fire element. Please pick those of your choice, my lady. We'll fit them with the arrow shafts of your choosing." The shopkeeper said, motioning at Re'Kha to choose.
Ki'Nua arrived just at the right time, carrying a short bow and some small crossbows—the same ones Re'Kha had refrained from buying. She then saw Re'Kha looking through the elemental arrows, linking the reason to the purchase as she entered the conversation, speaking to the shopkeeper, "How many elemental arrows do you have?"
"Only the ones in this box, my lady." The shopkeeper sighed, "Rest all have been taken out by the army."
"Alright," Ki'Nua nodded, looking at Re'Kha as she spoke, "Will they be enough, sister?"
"I hope they would be," Re'Kha nodded after a moment of thought, inquiring the price, "How much do they cost?"
"1 RuQi per each arrowhead, my lady." The shopkeeper said.

'That is expensive, indeed.' Re'Kha sighed. Elemental arrows were manufactured using the body parts of the beasts rich in the respective element. To make them, beasts had to be killed. And, it wasn't as if killing them was easy. For, a Harmoniser had to risk his life to kill one, and there was a good chance he would be the one that dies.
And, most of the beasts usually roamed in packs. So, to annihilate them, a subjugation force had to be created. The only time they obtained a lot of beast carcasses was when the beasts tried to break into the city. Through defensive warfare, they would be able to rain down arrows and other attacks on the beasts and kill them with minimal losses.
After that, they had to manufacture the arrowheads using the materials from the beasts. Everything consumed resources. So, the end result ended up costing 1 RuQi per arrow. It was to be noted that the arrowheads would be damaged to an extent beyond reuse after a single shot.
So, with every shot, she was spending enough money to buy herself a meal. Moreover, the concentration of Elemental Qi in them wasn't high. That was why she could still perceive the arrow texture through the blank space. The concentration of Elemental Qi was way too low in it.
So, they were probably arrowheads the army was unwilling to use. A better way to phrase it would be that they were rejected goods. The ones the army used as their trump cards against powerful Sha or beasts had a higher concentration of Elemental Qi in them.
"We'll buy all of them," Ki'Nua said as she glanced at Re'Kha, watching her nod.
"We'll pack and transport all the goods you buy from our shop and other shops to your residence, my lady." The shopkeeper said, calling a servant in his shop to pack all the goods they had bought till now.
"I'll collect it from your place." Re'Kha looked at Ki'Nua, watching her nod in return. Since she was also preparing in the chance something might happen when she visited Ki'Nua to her house, it was better to send all the items there first. Re'Kha would just collect them once she arrived there.
Ki'Nua gave her address to the shopkeeper as she and Re'Kha footed their respective bills. They then exited the shop and entered the next one, gazing at the walls filled with darts of all forms.
