Maitreya took a seat at the offered table and took a fork loosely between two fingers and lazily picked up a morsel to pop into her mouth. It didn't remind her of meals from the past or anything - Infact the opposite. It reminded her of her time fasting to achieve enlightenment... Nostalgic in a way. The question hung in the air for a while before she finally responded "I want to break the cycle of suffering. I have no idea if this grail can manage what I want but I figure I may as well try. I want to free humanity from the endless suffering they are trapped in - I can teach a few people at a time to ascend if they are willing to learn but its slow and small scale. So breaking the cycle and letting people make the decision for themselves to reincarnate or be free is better."

The offered drinks were consumed with more enthusiasm as they reminded her of one of her favorite passtimes - brewing and perfecting her own drinks which allowed for the temples she resided in to afford existing even when threatened by war or strife. "Magus tend to have a singleminded pursuit willing to do anything for their research. I hope you don't think that I will judge you for this. Enlightenment comes to those who are true to themselves - Evil or Good are irrelevent. I don't encourage harming others or the like but It will not serve as a source of friction between us unless it becomes egregious. I will teach you and perhaps give you some corrective guidance but largely I simply wish to ensure we obtain our goals because then you can choose on your own time if you want to reach enlightenment or not."

Another lazy bite of the food and she straightened up just a bit allowing the weight of her personality to settle on their shoulders more directly "I will however ask you not to lie to me, trust is the foundation of any relationship on the battlefield. If I'm going to be taking blows for you then I atleast want to know why. No white lies to protect my feelings, no attempts to save face or appear better than you are."

After some time the meal was finished and the servant stood up to look around some more - wandering the expensive mansion thoughtfully before approaching Ying oncemore. "A first lesson that should be of use to you. Territory Creation. Turning an area into a siphon of sorts. Funneling life energy, magical energy, and spiritual energy alike all into you from across the territory. To become queen of the land and build defenses against intruders aswell as improve your own magecraft in the area."

She immediately lead into an extremely technical lesson far above easily available magus teachings that seemed like she was reciting a powerful textbook in a bored manner - any questions were met with hesitation as she seemed to have to search for an answer rather than just knowing it off the top of her head. She was able to teach such an amazing secret but barely seemed to understand it herself somehow. It was more like one of the previous Buddha were providing the lesson while she acted as a middlewoman. Despite how impossible learning this skill should be - In only a short while they managed to create a small territory and through practice it would only grow in size and ease of use. Already providing a small funnel of magical energy and stamina and vitality like a healthy energy drink.

In short for however impressive her parameters were - This ability was far moreso. Almost entirely unheard of and yet...
