For some reason, the idea of going to the far north grew stronger in Jiang Zhen's mind.
In fact, these past few nights, when I'm sleeping and dreaming, I sometimes hear faint, ethereal sounds.
"Come...come here..."
Every time he heard this sound, he would dream of a huge, narrow ice crevice.
So Jiang Zhen decided to go to the far north.
I'll take Lan Xi with me, and take this opportunity to show her around.
However, before that, let's go back to Xinan Village for a visit.
He hasn't gone back to see it since he awakened his martial spirit.
...…
A few days later, Jiang Zhen, leading Lan Xi who was curiously looking around, arrived at Xinan Village outside Nuoding City.
The old locust tree at the village entrance was still lush and verdant, but when the villagers under the tree saw the two people walking towards them, they couldn't help but stop what they were doing, their eyes filled with amazement and unfamiliarity.
The boy in the lead was tall and straight, nearly 1.7 meters tall, far exceeding his peers.
His long, flowing, light blue hair, like ripples on water, was particularly eye-catching.
What's particularly peculiar is that two strands of sky-blue hair stick up from the hair tie at the temples and meander backwards.
His bangs fell naturally, and a deep blue highlight was hidden on the inside, adding a touch of unruliness.
He was dressed in a white and blue outfit, the fabric of which seemed ordinary, but shimmered slightly with a watery sheen as he walked.
What's most striking about his eyes is their narrow, upturned shape. The sky-blue irises are as clear as the purest glacial lake water, and their gaze carries a transcendent calm and profound depth.
Beside him was a girl of about eight years old, who looked like she had stepped out of a painting.
A long blue and gold dress hugged her petite figure. The dress had a unique design, with golden ribbons fluttering around the hem, moving without wind and shimmering with a soft glow.
Her face was so exquisite that it seemed otherworldly; her deep blue eyes were like flawless blue crystals, pure and clear, carrying a hint of innocent naivety and curiosity.
She exudes a natural and elegant aura, accompanied by a faint, refreshing fragrance, as if the land around her is revitalized by it.
"What a...so pretty little girl..."
"Who is that boy? He looks familiar?"
"It's...it's that kid from Jiang Zhen?!"
Finally, a sharp-eyed old man recognized the face that, though drastically changed, still retained its original features, and exclaimed in surprise.
The villagers were immediately in an uproar. No one could connect the handsome young man with his extraordinary bearing and unusual hair color with the skinny little boy who ate from everyone's homes three years ago.
Jiang Zhen smiled and nodded to the old man who recognized him. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he took Lan Xi 's hand and headed straight for the village chief Liu's house.
Just as he arrived at his doorstep, the gate creaked open. Grandpa Liu came out at the sound, and when he saw Jiang Zhen, he was stunned at first, then his old face broke into a wide smile.
Especially after sensing the unfathomable soul power fluctuations emanating from Jiang Zhen, they were so excited that they were at a loss for what to do.
"Zhen? It really is you! Good lad, what a change... You've become a Great Soul Master?"
Grandpa Liu's voice trembled with immense relief.
"Grandpa Liu."
Jiang Zhen bowed respectfully and handed the old man several boxes of exquisite pastries and some practical fabrics he had brought. "I was preparing to travel for a while, so I came back to visit you and everyone."
Just then, a burly figure came running from the village upon hearing the news; it was Zhao Hu .
He was even more robust than a year ago, and his face had lost much of its childishness, replaced by a more resolute look.
Upon seeing Jiang Zhen, his eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward, exclaiming, "Brother Jiang Zhen! You're back!"
"Yes, I came back to take a look."
Jiang Zhen sensed Zhao Hu 's aura and nodded slightly, "Peak of level nine? Not bad progress."[Note:This is not thatfats as with same Level 1 Innnate Soul Power and Worse Conditions. Huo Yuhao cultivated to level 10 at Age 11. Then here Zhao Hu can can cultivate to level 9 with much better conditons and help of pills from MC.]
Zhao Hu scratched his head, a little embarrassed but unable to hide his pride: "Thanks to Brother Jiang Zhen for the pills and your instructions, I haven't dared to slack off for a single day! It's just... I've been stuck on this last level for almost a month..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhen first sent Lan Xi to look around, and then went to Zhao Hu 's house.
Ask him to prepare a bucket of cold water.
Then Jiang Zhen took out a small jade box from his storage ring. When he opened it, there was a small piece of cut gelatinous substance inside, which emitted a faint golden glow and a fishy smell.
"This is the elixir of a thousand-year-old whale, which will help you break through your bottleneck. After taking it, enter the water, and I will protect you."
Zhao Hu believed Jiang Zhen's words without a doubt, and swallowed the whale gelatin.
A surge of powerful energy spread through his body. Jiang Zhen gently placed a hand on his back and channeled a wisp of pure Xuan Shui soul power into him, helping to regulate and guide that energy.
In less than half an hour, Zhao Hu 's soul power surged dramatically. He abruptly opened his eyes and exclaimed with wild joy, "I broke through! Brother Jiang Zhen, I've reached level ten!"
"Hmm, it's alright."
Jiang Zhen put his hand away. "Now that I'm at level ten, I might as well go and get my first soul ring. There should be suitable soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest outside Nuoding City."
After saying that, he looked at Grandpa Liu and the village elders who had gathered around upon hearing the news: "Elders, Jiang Zhen's trip may take quite a long time. If there are any difficulties in the village, you can go to the 'Clear Spring Merchant Guild' in Nuoding City and find a manager surnamed Li. He will help you."
This was a small business he quietly established using gold soul coins before leaving Nuoding City, a way to leave the village a way out.
Upon hearing this, everyone was even more grateful.
Without further delay, Jiang Zhen, along with the excited Zhao Hu and the curious Lan Xi , headed once again to the Soul Hunter Forest outside Nuoding City.
With Jiang Zhen, whose strength far exceeded his apparent level, in charge, the process went incredibly smoothly.
With their powerful spiritual senses, they quickly located a Wolverine with a cultivation level of approximately 730 years, a fierce temperament, and excellent defensive capabilities.
Jiang Zhen didn't need to do much; he simply conjured water to slightly restrict Wolverine's movements, then created several water blades to knock him down.
He then shouted at Zhao Hu , "Its weakness is in its waist and abdomen! Use your iron sword, pour all your soul power into it, and deliver the final blow!"
Zhao Hu roared, his martial spirit sword activating within him. He thrust out with all his might, accurately striking Wolverine's vulnerable waist and abdomen, successfully killing him.
A bright yellow spirit ring slowly rose up.
Under Jiang Zhen's protection, Zhao Hu successfully absorbed the soul ring that exceeded the normal lifespan, stabilizing his soul power at level twelve and gaining a rather impressive attack soul skill—Diamond Thrust—which greatly enhances the penetrating power and destructive force of his next strike.
...
At the entrance of Xinan Village, Jiang Zhen bid farewell to Grandpa Liu, Zhao Hu , and the villagers who came to see him off.
"Brother Jiang Zhen, go ahead and make your way! I'll keep an eye on the village! I will definitely become a powerful Soul Master, and in the future... I will repay you!" Zhao Hu clenched his fist, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.
Jiang Zhen smiled, patted him on the shoulder, nodded to Grandpa Liu and the villagers, and finally took Lan Xi 's hand.
"let's go."
