Rei rented a single room for the night. While Bai Wu slept, Rei started to make his second spirit ring.
Making sure that he surpressed his qi, Rei started to infuse his zanpakuto with the qi around him. A black and gold energy started to intertwine as it started to thread together into a ring. After his first attempt at making his spirit ring, Rei had understood more on what he should do and increased his proficiency. This time it had only taken Rei a little while before a white spirit ring could be seen with two blades crossing in the middle.
[Sword Monarch ring -
Sword materialisation - Summon Kyoki and Tengoku in their base forms using qi. Can use bankai and shojun if supplied with mana.
Sword zone - within a radius of 1 meter is the user's absolute zone. User is able to wield swords with 2x speed, accuracy and power. ]
Rei read the description of his ring as he started to infuse qi to stabilise it's creation.
'Well isn't this a new type of energy.' Kyoki's voice rang out within Rei's mind as he felt the influx of qi in his system.
'Yes but by intertwining the different energies into us, we're also being refined into better swords.' Tengoku said.
'Since it's beneficial to you then that's good.' Rei called out as he continued to stablise the energy. The night passed as Rei managed to increase the stability enough for the ring to hit the 500 year zone.
"Fuah~ morning Lei." Bai Wu said as she rubbed her eyes after yawning.
"Morning, let's go shopping and get some information of the current world." Rei said as he retracted his sword monarch ring.
Bai Wu nodded as she got up and followed Rei. They walked around the streets while they heard some useless gossip.
"Nothing had changed except for spirit hall gaining more influence..." Rei muttered while Bai Wu frowned at this. They had a mutual dislike for spirit hall due to the fact that they would force their way if someone refused.
"Since that's the case, shall we get you some clothes?" Rei asked smiling to Bai Wu.
Bai Wu nodded happily as Rei lead her to a clothing stall that he could see. It was a higher classed store and Rei didn't mind spending more money, especially since he didn't need it.
"Welcome, how can I help?" A staff said as she approached the duo. She gasped slightly as she saw how handsome and beautiful Rei and Bai Wu was.
"Can you help me get some clothes for her please." Rei said politely as he encouraged Bai Wu to follow the staff.
The staff nodded with eagerness as she took Bai Wu by the hand and helped her pick out dresses.
Rei sat down and watched Bai Wu pick out several clothes while he silently nurtured his ring within his palm.
"Lei! Lei! What do you think about this one?" Bai Wu asked as she had a long white dress on, she give it a twirl as she waited for Rei's response.
"Un it's very nice, I think it fit's you well." Rei said with a smile. Hearing Rei's response, Bai Wu's smile grew wider as she looked around for more dresses. Picking out a few, Rei took them as he paid for them up front.
"That'll be 5 gold." The staff said as Rei handed them 5 gold. From the merchant's bag, Rei had managed to obtain a few hundred gold. So this amount he didn't mind. Rei walked out of the store with a happy Bai Wu who swung her arms around with joy.
They spent some time walking around the market as Rei saw a belt that contained some space fluctuations.
"Eh? What's this?" Rei asked the stall manager.
"This? It's just a belt that I bought from a merchant. I have no idea how to use it and hadn't been able to sell it for a few weeks now." The manager signed.
"Hmm, how much for the belt. I'll take it." Rei said as he was curious on the first sign of space fluctuation he saw in this world.
"Really! Little bro you better not trick me ok?" The stall manager said happily.
"Un don't worry, just tell me how much it is." Rei said with a smile.
"That'll be 2 silvers and 50 coppers." The manager quoted fearing that it may be a little high for Rei.
"Umm, little bro? If it is too high for you I can give you a discount." The manager said looking at Rei.
"Don't worry about it. Here." Rei said as he flicked a gold coin at the manager surprising him as 1 gold was equal to 100 silvers. 1 gold would be able to last a family of four for quite a while before they would run out. The manger only looked up to see Rei off into the distance with the belt.
"Lei what's so good about this belt?" Bai Wu asked as she saw Rei make a happy face when he obtained the belt.
"Not sure but I can tell that it's something good. We'll check it out when we return home." Rei said as they walked pass the streets.
As they were returning home, Bai Wu was curious about a comb as she saw it's strange shape.
"Hey Lei! Lei! What's this?" She asked as she pointed to the comb.
"It's a comb, it's used to brush your hair and make it look nice." Rei said as he looked at the comb.
The comb was a wooden one but was decorated with detailed engravings. Rei bought the comb as he looked at Bai Wu.
"I'll show you how to use this ok?" Rei smiled handing her the comb.
Bai Wu took it as he held it towards the sky before bringing it back to her chest.
"Thank you Lei!" She said giving Rei a hug.
Rei only smiled as he patted her back for her to calm down. Rei gave Bai Wu a piggy back as he quickly traveled back to their lake in star dou forest.
Letting her down, Rei and Bai Wu sat down as they looked at the belt.
Carefully examining it, Rei could recognise some aspects of the spacial fluctuations he felt from it.
"Hmm, this belt allows for people to store items into a separate space. It seems to use qi as an activation code and takes what ever the user wanted into its dimension." Rei muttered while he tried it out. Injecting some of his qi, Rei attempted to absorb some of the clothes as he witnessed the outfit disappear and reappear as he inject the qi.
"Heehh~ the belt is so magical..." Bai Wu muttered as she looked at the belt.
"Do you want it?" Rei asked gesturing her to take the belt. Bai Wu hesitated before nodding.
"Un belt is so special." She said. Rei smiled as he patted her head and handed her the belt.
"I'll show you how to comb your hair, come." Rei said as he lead her by the hand and sat next to the lake. Grabbing the comb, Rei started to gently comb her hair as Bai Wu watched in wonder.
"Would this really make my hair beautiful?" She asked.
"As long as you like it." Rei replied as he continued to comb gently.
"What about Lei? Does Lei like it?" She asked looking at Rei.
"As long as you like it then I like it." Rei said as he finished combing her hair.
"See nice and smooth." Rei said as Bai Wu looked into the lake and looked at her reflection.
She smiled before hugging Rei from behind.
"Hey Lei, can you comb it for me everyday?" She asked.
"Sure it shouldn't be too hard." Rei replied with a small smile as he helped Bai Wu store all of her clothes into the belt.
"But Bai Wu, I might have to call you lazy rabbit again if you need me to do everything for you." Rei smiled as he looked at Bai Wu hugging him from behind.
"Che, like I said. I am not lazy, just saving energy. Since Lei can help me I should let you do it." She grinned cheekily as Rei chuckled slightly.
"Sure sure, just saving energy." Rei said as he sat down with Bai Wu. Laying on the grass with Bai Wu, they gazed at the sky filled with stars as another day had passed quickly for them.
