Chapter 24: Soul Saint's Diary (Part )
"Treasure map."
Zhou Qing pulled the hide and found it was quite strong. He pointed to the red dot at the starting point and said, "This should be the Fasno Province where we are, and the destination is the southwest coastal city in the Xing Luo Empire: Tianming City."
"Treasure map? Did the Soul Sage put all the treasures he had looted before there?" Tang San was surprised.
"That may be the case."
Zhou Qing rolled up the map and put it aside. "Or maybe, this Soul Saint didn't have the time to explore there. After all, it's impossible for a Soul Saint from the Heaven Dou Empire to put the treasure in the territory of the Xing Luo Empire, unless he has a problem with his brain."
indeed!
He is a Soul Sage with strong strength, and he returned to the Holy Soul Village to make the final breakthrough... Although he failed, Tang San could see that this Soul Sage is a homebody, and if he has good things, he will naturally keep them with him, and it is impossible for him to store the treasures in a foreign country thousands of miles away.
Afterwards, the two spent two hours and finally cleaned up the "small castle". In addition to the small gray bag and the animal skin map, they also got an iron box.
The box is 30 cm long and 20 cm wide. It can be opened. There are three diaries inside. Since the iron box is well sealed, they are well preserved.
Zhou Qing and Tang San looked at each other and took out one of the books: "Daohe Village Diary"
[Douluo calendar March 1885, 3]
[Today, people from the Spirit Hall are coming to the village to help people awaken their spirits. I’m so happy. I can have my own spirit now! ]
[My martial soul is a small sapling with two leaves, and its innate soul power is actually level six! ]
[My mother personally went to the nearby bamboo forest to dig bamboo shoots and caught a bamboo rat, and made me my favorite bamboo shoot fried meat! ]
This is the content of the first page.
Zhou Qing continued to turn to the next page:
[Douluo calendar March 1886, 3]
[Mom finally saved enough money for me to go to the Soul Master Academy. I’m so happy! ]
【After I went to school, I learned that villages with soul masters had quotas for work-study students, but they had to be shared by multiple villages. However, Daohe Village had never had a soul master, so it didn’t even have the qualifications to share a quota. At that time, the village chief’s grandfather went to ask the village chiefs of other villages for help, but was driven out by the people of other villages. So I could only wait until my family saved enough money, and with the help of other villagers in the village, I could go to the Soul Master Academy to study.
I swear, I must become a powerful soul master, and make Daohe Village great because of my name! Let Daohe Village not have to share quotas with people from other villages! 】
"Daohe Village, this was the previous name of Holy Soul Village." Tang San murmured, and he couldn't help but admire this Soul Saint, because he really changed the name of Daohe Village to Holy Soul Village with his own efforts, and Holy Soul Village also had a status that the nearby villages could not match from that day on:
There is no need to share a quota for work-study students with other villages, and this quota is available every year. Even when other villages have children with innate soul power but cannot get a quota, they will come collectively to buy from the Holy Soul Village, so that the residents of the entire Holy Soul Village can benefit.
Tang San had seen this kind of purchase of quota once when he was two years old. He didn't quite understand it at the time, but now he has figured out the key.
But Zhou Qing's focus was different. He complained, "This guy writes a diary once a year? It's so short, and they're all dated March 6th."
Turn to the next page.
really.
It was March 1887, 3 in the Douluo calendar.
The description was about his own cultivation and how his mother made him his favorite fried bamboo shoots with pork after he returned to Daohe Village.
Moreover, judging from the description in his words, he was doing well. This was normal.
With an innate sixth-level soul power, according to the current potential judgment standards of Douluo Continent, it would not be a problem for him to reach the Soul Saint level in his lifetime if he follows the steps.
Even if his martial soul is an unknown small tree, as a plant-type soul master, his future will be promising whether he chooses the auxiliary or control type.
Therefore, the teachers in the school should give him a little more favor.
As for why the Spirit Hall staff who awakened his spirit for him didn't take him to the Spirit Hall...
can only say.
We cannot expect the grassroots staff of the Spirit Hall to study spirit information to enrich themselves in their spare time. Su Yuntao was able to determine in the original book that a blue silver grass with full innate spirit power had no value in cultivation. People two hundred years ago would probably have seen that the spirit was an unknown sapling and would have been certain that it had no attack capabilities and would have given up on winning it over.
For the people who are responsible for awakening martial spirits at the grassroots level of the Martial Spirit Hall in these small cities, perhaps a sickle with innate level one soul power is worth more than a sapling with innate level six soul power or a blue silver grass with innate full soul power.
[Perhaps this is why many talented civilian spirit masters have not directly joined the Spirit Hall until now.]
Thinking of Flanders, Zhao Wuji, Shao Xin and others in the original Shrek, who had no family behind them, loved freedom, and were thoroughly common people, Zhou Qing realized that if the reason why the Spirit Hall missed out on these common people geniuses was to be traced back, the grassroots staff of the Spirit Hall who were only responsible for awakening the spirits should bear a lot of responsibility.
But the main reason is the environment of the continent, which makes everyone desire and pursue a martial spirit with offensive power...
Thinking of this, Zhou Qing collected his scattered thoughts, flipped through several pages, and found the last page:
[Douluo calendar March 1891, 3]
[I have graduated from the Junior Soul Master Academy. My soul power has reached level 19. I am only one step away from level 20, but I no longer have the money to go to the Intermediate Academy.]
[The training of a soul master is very expensive. I am already thirteen years old and can no longer rely on my family or the village. I have to make money on my own.]
【So, I choose to be an adventurer! 】
[During this year, I received a lot of tasks in the Wuhun Branch Hall in Notting City, and received enough rewards for my training. At the age of fourteen, I broke through to level 20, and temporarily teamed up with a soul hunting group to hunt down the soul beast I wanted, and obtained the second soul ring. My soul power reached level 21.]
"Will the Spirit Hall issue any missions?" Tang San clicked his tongue twice, having a familiar feeling.
In the previous life of the Tang Sect, both outer and inner disciples had to complete missions, receive mission rewards, and obtain some precious materials. I didn’t expect that the Spirit Hall would also be like this.
"Yes."
Zhou Qing knew that the Spirit Hall in the real world also had the same nature as the Adventure Guild. Many free spirit masters, after reaching a certain age, could no longer receive subsidies from the Spirit Hall, and did not want to join the Spirit Hall, so they relied on taking on missions from the Spirit Hall or missions similar to those of the Adventure Guild to get paid.
More than two hundred years ago, there were many cases of wild soul beasts attacking villages near Notting City, and many soul masters would take on the task of hunting soul beasts.
The corpses of soul beasts are handed over to the Spirit Hall or the Adventure Guild. After all, in addition to the soul rings and soul bones, the meat and some materials on the body of the soul beast are also valuable.
It is impossible for the top leaders of Spirit Hall not to realize this.
However, nowadays, except for the soul beast areas where villages and towns have just been established, most of the territories have been completely occupied by humans and the soul beasts in the soul beast forests that are controlled by humans can no longer be hunted at will.
After all, soul beasts are the main material for soul masters to break through bottlenecks.
As for the wild soul beast forests that have not been fully explored, such as the Star Dou Great Forest and the Sunset Forest, the Spirit Hall and the two empires did not make any demands...
