We awake, knowing that tomorrow is a ceremony for our departure. We have today for ourselves but in the evening we have been requested to go to the Shrine of Acclaim at the top of the sister peak called Ren Mei.
We decide to make our way to the Vagueful Poker, a magical tattoo shop run by Miss Spool. It costs 5000 gold worth of Jade Dust to get a +2 in Wisdom. Jade dust is incredibly rare in the southern province and is found mainly in the northern province.
I leave Raskin and Malaphor at the Vengeful Poker and buy a bouquet of flowers for Eya. I make my way back to Bangol to give her the flowers as well as my Moonstone ring. I get the idea that she likely doesn't want this to end and probably wants this to become more which works for me.
I meet up with the others on the way up to the Shrine of Acclaim. Beneath the centre is Master Xifeng. We take our places as he then moves in front of us. "You were chosen, and were summoned here from across the world. I thank you for answering the call. You each have my eternal gratitude and respect. For you have commited to this cause, you have listened to our teachings and reconciled to oneself to the part you have played in this world if it continues to exist"
True Master Xifeng states he has chosen Ape to lead our group of the Ninefold, which no one objects.
Tonight, our final lesson, is to defeat True Master Xifeng. He says "To make this interesting, those who are still standing at the end, have their choice of something in the relic vault."
I notice on his skin, there is a slight bronzey/gold colour to it. After we dealt a decent chunk of damage to them, they transformed into a gargantuan dragon, likely their true form.
We manage to defeat True Master Xifeng's true form with an explosion of light at the end. Their form is gone, with no where to be seen.
