After completing the transaction, the head of the Shui family was impressed by Xia Liang's ability to find soul beasts and intended to invite him to join the Shui family.
Xia Liang suggested that he could join the Shui family, but he needed to be trained with the best training resources.
After weighing the pros and cons, the head of the Shui family gave up the attempt to recruit him, and the two sides parted ways.
After leaving Silves City, Xia Liang returned to the small forest outside the city and reunited with the members of the Speed Mercenary Group.
"Ah liang. You're finally back!"
Hearing Teacher Mo's exclamation, Liu Shu and Aunt Liu ran out of the tent.
Seeing the three people's worried expressions, Xia Liang smiled and took out a gold card from his silver bracelet. The amount of gold soul coins stored in it was exactly the reward given by the Shui family for this mission.
"You kid." Teacher Mo walked up to Xia Liang, patted his shoulder, and said with relief, "Luckily you came back safely. If something unexpected happened, how would you let me live with it?"
"Teacher Mo, Sister Shu, and Aunt Liu. I'm sorry to have worried you."
As he spoke, Xia Liang handed the gold card to the three people who came up to him, "This is the reward for this mission. It was originally 100,000 gold soul coins. I took out 70,000. There are 30,000 left on the card. Divide it among you."
The three of them looked at each other and were silent for a moment before Teacher Mo pushed the gold card back and said guiltily, "We didn't participate in this mission. How can we have the nerve to ask for compensation? Ah Liang, you don't have to share with us. These are what you deserve."
Xia Liang knew that Mr. Mo would refuse, so after depositing the gold card into the silver bracelet, he took out the silver card he had prepared in advance and said, "This silver card contains 15,000 gold soul coins. It is all my savings over the past three years. Mr. Mo, Sister Shu, and Aunt Liu. Thank you for taking care of me over the past three years. Please accept these more than 10,000 gold soul coins. Otherwise, I will feel bad."
After hearing this story, Mr. Mo and the other two looked confused.
"Ah liang. Are you going to leave us?" Liu Shu asked.
"Yes. The past three years of experience in the Speed Mercenary Group have made me grow a lot. If I want to grow better, I can only change to a new environment. Sister Shu, if possible, I would like to continue my adventure with you. Unfortunately, I can't stay in the mercenary group forever."
Teacher Mo smiled knowingly, "Ah Liang, when I helped you get your first spirit ring, I saw that you were a very motivated child. With your perseverance and persistence, your future achievements will definitely surpass ours. I can understand that you want to leave us and grow up in a new environment."
"Since you have made up your mind, we will not try to persuade you to stay. Thank you for bringing many good memories and help to the Speed Mercenary Group. You really don't have to give us the money, just keep it and buy training resources for yourself."
As he spoke, Mr. Mo pushed the silver card back again.
Since the excuse had come to this point, Xia Liang didn't know what to say, so he simply put the silver card back into the silver bracelet.
Looking at Xia Liang, who was already half a head taller than Teacher Mo, Liu Shu and Aunt Liu smiled at each other. The tacit understanding and trust that they had developed with each other during their three-year journey in the mercenary group would probably fade away with their separation.
But the three years we lived together were definitely unforgettable and beautiful memories.
"Ah liang, Sister Shu is looking forward to the day when you become a strong man." Liu Shu's eyes were full of confidence. "I believe that it won't be long before you will become a well-known figure on the mainland! In the future, I can tell others that I once fought with a big shot."
"I wish you good luck. Sister Shu, Aunt Liu, Teacher Mo, we bid farewell now and will meet again if we are lucky."
After clasping his fists to the three people and bowing slightly to show some courtesy, Xia Liang turned around and left.
While following the Shui family into the Far North to hunt soul beasts, his soul power increased from level 23 to level 24, and he was still six levels away from the bottleneck of level 30.
With the help of the advanced medicinal bath given by the Shui family, I should be able to quickly increase my soul power by one level. I will save this advanced medicinal bath for impacting the bottleneck of level 30.
In addition to the high-grade medicinal bath, there are also two pieces of thousand-year-old whale glue.
According to the original description, in addition to its well-known aphrodisiac effect, whale glue also has a very good nourishing effect on soul masters. It can strengthen the body and increase the endurance of muscles, bones and meridians.
When whale glue increases the bearing capacity of human bones, the strength of the skeleton martial spirit that uses its own skeleton as martial spirit will naturally increase as well.
Next, while cultivating soul power, you can exercise your body while eating the ten thousand year old whale glue.
When the soul power reaches the bottleneck of level 30, the physical fitness and martial soul strength will be improved to a higher level.
By then, he should be able to absorb a third soul ring that exceeds the four thousand year limit.
This third soul ring is of vital importance.
Because level 30 is the first watershed for soul masters, if the quality of the third soul ring is good enough and the degree of compatibility with the martial soul is high enough, there is a chance that the martial soul will evolve or undergo a qualitative change.
Although the iron bone strengthening of the second soul ring is very useful, strictly speaking, the effect of the soul skill does not meet expectations.
Whether the Skeleton Martial Soul can realize the ultimate killer move of bone-transforming Susanoo depends on the luck of the third soul ring.
During this adventure in the Far North, Xia Liang was shocked by the Titan Snow Demon King.
For the first time, he felt how insignificant he was. This feeling of powerlessness and being at the mercy of others was really unpleasant.
So, become strong.
Only when you become powerful enough to transcend all life and become the being that controls life and death, will you no longer feel this kind of frustration.
The only way that is available nowadays and can help one become stronger quickly is the opportunity of obtaining the magical herb mentioned in the original book.
After leaving the Suda Mercenary Group, Xia Liang next thought of looking for opportunities at Tiandou Royal Academy.
There, not only are there the best resources for cultivation, but Dugu Bo and his granddaughter Dugu Yan should also be there. By contacting this pair of grandfather and granddaughter, one can obtain the opportunity to obtain the immortal grass more safely and conveniently.
The problem was that Tiandou Royal Academy only recruited aristocratic students, and I was a commoner soul master and could not meet the academy's admission requirements at all.
With an innate fifth-level soul power, he cultivated to the twenty-fourth-level second-ring great soul master at the age of eleven. With such talent, it would be difficult for Tiandou Royal Academy to make an exception and admit him.
Walking on the official road leading to Tiandou City, Xia Liang looked up at the sky. Is there any way to enter Tiandou Royal Academy as a civilian?
Ten days later.
Tiandou Empire, Tiandou City.
Twenty kilometers away from the city gate, there is a big mountain with many buildings and facilities, including a majestic teaching building, lush forests behind the mountain, and a lake with rippling water three feet below.
Everything in the mountains is beautiful, especially when the sun sets and the sky is filled with sunset glow. Against the backdrop of the red glow in the west, whether it is the lake at the foot of the mountain, the lush forest, or the mountains as high as a thousand meters, they all give people a feeling of paradise.
The Tiandou Royal Academy was built around this mountain. It is the largest academy for advanced soul masters in the Tiandou Empire. All previous presidents of the academy were emperors of the Tiandou Empire.
The next day, morning.
At the entrance of Tiandou Royal Academy.
There is a lot of traffic and people.
Welcoming and seeing off, fatherly kindness and motherly love.
Today is the day for registration for the new semester at Tiandou Royal Academy, so the academy is unusually lively inside and outside.
The people coming and going were all elegant people dressed in luxurious clothes, accompanied by three or two attendants, and holding their children to register here.
In a luxurious pavilion five meters away from the entrance of the college, there are two tables. Two teachers are sitting at the tables, registering the students who come to register.
A hundred meters to the left of the luxurious pavilion, there is another pavilion with simpler decorations. There are also two people sitting inside, but they are not teachers of the college, but recruiters of the college.
Xia Liang passed by a long queue of students and stood in line in front of a simple pavilion with a strong man in equally simple clothes, waiting for the recruiter to release the job information.
Civilians cannot join the Tiandou Royal Academy, but they can work as cooks, cleaners, forest rangers, and landscaping workers.
Entering Tiandou Royal Academy as a chef would make it easier to find out Dugu Bo's whereabouts or find a way to enter the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire to steal the immortal grass.
In addition, the best resource of Tiandou Royal Academy is the mimicry training field.
After you have made a name for yourself in the academy's kitchen, you can try to apply to the academy for the right to use the mimicry training field and raise your soul power to level 30 as quickly as possible.
