Getting the certificate issued by the White Glow Intermediate Spirit Master Academy, Tie Li immediately went home, planning to share this good news with his family.
He didn’t see the scene he imagined; instead, his father took out a letter with a conflicted expression.
“When I was young, I went to Gengxin City to learn forging, but because I wasn’t a Spirit Master, lacking the support of spirit power, I couldn’t learn more profound forging techniques, so I returned to Mannuo City and opened an iron smith shop;
I occasionally correspond via letters with my teacher in Gengxin City.
A few days ago, I wrote about Da Li’s matters in a letter, and my teacher’s idea is to let Da Li go to Gengxin City to learn forging with him;
We are born commoners, we cannot give Da Li help in cultivation resources.
If Da Li went to Gengxin City, he could learn profound forging techniques, craft high-quality weapons or spirit guidance devices to exchange for resources;
The initial returns might be a bit poor, but compared to hunting spirit beasts to exchange for returns, it is much safer.”
The last sentence was pointing towards something; obviously, Tie Niu knew that Tie Li concealed things from himself regarding the gold spirit coins matter.
What Tie Niu was conflicted about was that Tie Li was already a Spirit Master.
Even if he did nothing, relying solely on the Spirit Master stipend, it was a very considerable income.
But as a father, he knew the wild ambition hidden in his son’s heart, absolutely unwilling to remain silent;
Therefore, he began to contact his teacher from when he was young in Gengxin City.
His own forging techniques were taught by him.
Tie Niu still remembered the words his teacher said to him when parting.
“Tie Niu, you have very good forging talent, but why don’t you have spirit power ah!”
Clearly having excellent forging talent, yet because of the lack of spirit power support, the blacksmith path stopped here.
Tie Niu heard the unwillingness in his teacher’s voice, which was simultaneously the unwillingness in his own heart.
Letting Da Li go to Gengxin City to learn forging was not only to make up for the unwillingness from when he was young, but more so he wanted his son to have a backing.
Born a commoner, wanting to go further on the Spirit Master path is a very difficult thing.
Tie Li took the letter from his father’s hand, there were only a few brief sentences on it.
Seeing Gengxin City, the first thing Tie Li thought of was the Tang Sect hidden weapons that would shine brilliantly later on, followed by spirit guidance devices.
The Douluo Continent emphasizes the cultivation of Spirit Masters, and the achievements in the field of spirit guidance devices are not high.
Currently, the most numerous spirit guidance devices on the market are probably storage spirit guidance devices, right?
It wasn’t until ten thousand years later, the collision of the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent, that the Sun Moon Empire, which possessed advanced technology in the field of spirit guidance devices, displayed the formidable power of spirit guidance devices right from the start, almost existing as sharp weapons of war;
If Shrek Academy hadn’t sent out top-tier Spirit Masters several times the number of the Sun Moon Empire, the victory scale of this war would have tilted towards the Sun Moon Empire.
After recovering, the three great empires finally began to pay attention to the development of spirit guidance devices.
Tie Li did not hesitate for too long, put down the certificate from White Glow Intermediate Spirit Master Academy, and chose this letter.
However, from the northern part of the Heaven Dou Empire to the southern part of the Star Luo Empire, it would be a very, very long journey.
Tie Niu wanted to take out all the family’s savings to give to Tie Li, but was refused by Tie Li.
Although the journey was very long, as a Spirit Master, Tie Li had his own plans.
He could go to the commerce guild to accept goods escort missions, ride the commerce guild’s carriage, which saves trouble and can earn an extra fee, killing two birds with one stone.
Tie Li returned to his room, took out a large map, and marked the route on it.
“I can accept an escort mission from Mannuo City to Fuyu City from the commerce guild, and then go to the commerce guild in Fuyu City to accept an escort mission to another city…”
And then all the way reaching the border, crossing the border, inside the Star Luo Empire accepting escort missions, repeating like this, until arriving at Gengxin City.
The second day, Tie Li went to the academy to handle the withdrawal procedures, and then headed to the Wind Snow Commerce Guild.
With the previous experience, the Wind Snow Commerce Guild was much friendlier to Tie Li.
“I want to take an escort mission here.” Tie Li said straight to the point.
The staff member receiving Tie Li was a girl in her early twenties, wearing the work uniform of the Wind Snow Commerce Guild, with a faint smile hanging on her face.
“Are you a Spirit Master?
What is your spirit power level, let me register it for you here.”
Tie Li reported his spirit power level truthfully.
“Do you have any requirements regarding the mission?”
“Uh…
can it be an escort mission to Fuyu City?”
The staff member wasn’t surprised by this either, and began to search.
“Yes, escorting a batch of living supplies.
We happen to lack a Spirit Master to hold the line, do you see if this is okay?”
The staff member handed the mission information to Tie Li.
After taking it, Tie Li read it seriously once, and finally saw the remuneration.
“Two gold spirit coins, still considered a not bad remuneration.” Tie Li said secretly in his heart.
“Alright, I accept it.”
“Show your Spirit Master Handbook, I need to record it.”
The Spirit Master Handbook is equivalent to a Spirit Master’s ID card, confirming your identity.
“The caravan has already finished gathering, do you see if you can set off at noon?” The staff member returned the Spirit Master Handbook to Tie Li.
“Yeah, that’s fine.”
Tie Li first returned home, packed his luggage, left a farewell letter in his room, and when he returned to the Wind Snow Commerce Guild, the time was almost up.
The manager responsible for this caravan was a middle-aged man around thirty years old, dressed simply, with a trace of cunning in his eyes.
When he saw Tie Li, he was slightly surprised, not expecting it to be a teenager.
But the respect in his tone did not diminish in the slightest.
Just the identity of a Spirit Master represented the gap between the two sides.
“Lord Spirit Master, the caravan is already prepared, please follow me.”
“Alright.”
The caravan was parked in the plaza of the Wind Snow Commerce Guild.
There were a total of fifteen carriages, and each carriage had a burly man in charge.
The leading carriage was very exquisite.
The cabin was made of good wood, and one could see a comfortable soft cot inside the cabin.
“Lord Spirit Master, this is your position.” The manager pointed to the exquisite carriage.
Tie Li wasn’t polite either, half-lying on the soft cot, which was indeed very comfortable.
The manager went to notify the personnel in the rear, and then returned to the carriage.
The cabin was where Tie Li rested, and he was responsible for driving the carriage.
With the softness underneath, and the carriage swaying back and forth, he felt drowsy in no time.
From Mannuo City to Fuyu City, it requires a journey of half a month.
This was Tie Li’s first time escorting.
Although he had no experience, this caravan was rich in experience.
For seven consecutive days down, every time they could reach a town before it got dark.
“Lord Spirit Master, for the next few days we might have to rely on you.” The manager, who was driving the carriage, suddenly opened his mouth to say.
“Did something happen?” Tie Li had a pretty good impression of the manager; every time he could arrange things well, avoiding a lot of trouble.
“The upcoming road section has no towns, we need to spend the night in the wild.
If we encounter danger, we will need your action to help.”
“This is what I should do originally.”
The route they were taking avoided spirit beast forests and basins where spirit beasts might gather.
At most, they would encounter attacks from wild beasts.
