Chapter 17 Return, Go to Registered
Ten days later, in the Barak Kingdom, Soto City, two dusty figures appeared. They were Flender and Xuan Mo.
Xuan Mo's emotions were inevitably agitated at returning to this place, and he took a deep breath of the air.
It had been nearly two months since he left Soto City to go on the Soul Hunting expedition. During this time, it was inevitable that he'd felt a surge of longing.
Flender glanced down at Xuan Mo.
"Mo, this Soul Hunting adventure has been almost two months long. Go back to your own home and rest for a day, then come find me at my shop. I'll take you to the Spirit Hall to register."
Xuan Mo replied nonchalantly, "Uncle Merchant, there's no need to bother. I'll go to the Spirit Hall later to complete my Soul Master certification and Soul Power test."
"Oh, really?"
Flender looked at Xuan Mo with a serious expression, asking an irrelevant question.
"Then let me ask you, what do you think your soul power is right now?"
Xuan Mo pondered this carefully.
In the original novel, Tang San, with his innate full soul power and the blessing of the Xuantian Gong, broke through to level 13 after hunting a four-hundred-year-old mandragora snake.
Now, while he didn't have the added bonus of full soul power and the Xuantian Gong, his aptitude was still excellent. He also had a five-hundred-year-old top-level soul beast, the Earth Dragon Emperor, as his soul ring.
So, at the very least, his soul power should be around level 14.
With this in mind, Xuan Mo said, "According to my calculations, my soul power is probably around level 14."
Flender didn't respond.
Instead, he said calmly, "At your age, your cultivation level is considered a rare talent, even in the Spirit Hall."
Instantly, Xuan Mo was startled awake.
He had indeed gotten a little carried away. Forget that if the Spirit Hall couldn't recruit him, with their dominance, he'd probably...
At this thought, Xuan Mo broke out in a cold sweat. He cursed himself, a time traveler who had seen so much, yet he hadn't even thought of this.
Flanders, a shrewd man, knew Xuan Mo was no fool. Seeing his expression, he knew he already knew what he'd just meant.
"That's why I'll personally accompany you tomorrow."
"Thank you, Mr. Swindler,"
Flanders waved his hand impatiently. "Alright, alright. Go back and see your parents first. It's been almost two months, I wonder how worried they must be."
With that, he headed towards the outskirts of Soto City.
But before leaving, Flanders had one last word.
"Also, don't forget to bring me the credit tomorrow. It's seven hundred gold soul coins! Don't try to evade payment."
This made Xuan Mo's feelings of gratitude vanish, and he cursed the swindler inwardly.
...
In front of the "Tianranju" restaurant.
Xuan Mo watched the endless stream of customers pouring into the restaurant, a wave of emotion welling up in his heart. After nearly two months away, he had finally returned from hunting for his first spirit ring.
As soon as he entered the restaurant, he spotted a familiar waiter, cleaning a table not far from him.
He called out to him,
"Uncle Shi, I'm back."
Uncle Shi, who was wiping the table and clearing up the mess, heard the familiar voice and immediately turned toward the restaurant entrance.
"Young Master! You're back!
"Uncle Shi hurriedly ushered Xuan Mo into the restaurant, then instructed the other waiters to inform the owner and his wife.
Not long after, Xuan Mo's mother quickly descended from upstairs.
Upon seeing Xuan Mo, she embraced him excitedly, then carefully examined him, checking for any injuries.
After all, Xuan Mo had been out hunting spirit beasts for spirit rings for the past two months. Xuan Mu was practically insane, even though she knew her son was accompanied by a spirit master.
She still worried about whether he might encounter any danger while out there acquiring spirit rings. Fortunately, nothing happened.
Xuan Mo, feeling somewhat embarrassed by the scrutiny he'd received, struggled to break free from her.
"Mom, this is embarrassing. Let me go."
"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Xuan Mu said, domineeringly, waving her hand. "Come on, son. I've asked your dad to prepare the ingredients. I'll make you something delicious."
With that, she dragged Xuan Mo upstairs...
That day.
Xuan Mo stayed home, not practicing, but resting. After all, the nearly two-month journey through the Star Dou Great Forest had taken its toll on him mentally and physically.
In the early hours of the morning, Xuan Mo, unusually, skipped a workout outside Soto City.
...
The next day.
After Xuan Mo met up with Flanders at his shop,
Flanders took Xuan Mo to the Spirit Hall in Soto City to register as a spirit master.
After obtaining a spirit ring, if one hasn't registered yet, then officially registering becomes a qualified spirit master, allowing them to receive a monthly stipend of gold soul coins from the Spirit Hall.
Flanders even expressed his envy of Xuan Mo's monthly gold soul coins.
However, Xuan Mo's nonchalant attitude and his remark, "One or ten gold soul coins, I don't care," nearly infuriated Flanders .
When they arrived at the Spirit Hall, Xuan Mo sighed at the magnificent building before him. He recalled how he had been lost two and a half months ago, yet now he had become a spirit master at the tender age of six. He couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
Just as Xuan Mo and Flanders were about to enter the Spirit Hall, they were stopped by the guards at the gate.
"Stop, you two. This is the Spirit Hall. Ordinary people are not allowed to trespass."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Mo looked at Flanders standing by to see how he would handle the situation.
Flanders calmly pulled out a token from his pocket. It was engraved with a hammer, a sword, and a dragon. It was clearly a fourth-class token from the Spirit Hall.
After handing it to the guard, he said, "I'm a spirit master. I'm here to assess this child's spirit level."
After taking the token and taking a look at it, the guard returned it to Flanders, his expression unchanged. He said, "In that case, please go to the reception hall on the first floor and find Master Cao Nuoyan there. He will help you."
Then he immediately let Xuan Mo and Flanders pass, allowing them to enter the Spirit Hall.
