The area essentially serves as a central location for merchants where players can purchase various services including the armor upgrade by talking to the Blacksmith Yin Tiger.

However, bear in mindthat Silk isn’t easy to come byin some cases, especially if you’re still lurking in the first chapter.  As you progress to the next stage, you’ll find that enemies drop rarer materials including the Silk.

If you’re short on this material, you may return to the gameplay, gather the necessary Silk, and then use fast travel to teleport directly to the Painted Realm to start the upgrade process. And if you’re up for a challenge, you can always take on the Blacksmith Yin Tiger in a battle to test your strength.
