Chapter 23: Departure and gift selection

The next day, early morning.
Before dawn, when most of the teachers and students of Notting College were still asleep, Bai Ge and Tang San had already got up cautiously, and after cleaning up, they left the dormitory.
At the bottom of the dormitory, the master has been waiting here for a long time.
"Teacher, I have kept you waiting."
Seeing that the master seems to have been waiting here for quite a while, Bai Ge and Tang San quickly apologized.
"It didn't take long, I just arrived."
The master shook his head.
"Okay, let's go."
After speaking, the master turned around and walked towards the gate of the academy.
"Teacher, where are we going to find the soul beast?"
On the way, Tang San asked curiously.
On the side, Bai Ge also turned his head to look at the master.
Although according to the novels they have read in the previous life, they should be going to the hunting forest, but Bai Ge has forgotten where the hunting forest is.
"We are going to a soul hunting forest four hundred miles northeast of Notting City. This is where the Empire keeps soul beasts in captivity. Although the age of captive soul beasts is generally not more than a thousand years, there are still many types of soul beasts. Yes, according to the information I found, there should be soul beasts suitable for both of you."
The master replied.
"So how long do we estimate to get there?"
Hearing what the master said, Bai Ge couldn't help but ask.
"It's estimated to take a day and a half."
After thinking about it, the master replied.
"Ah, it takes so long?"
Before Bai Ge said anything, Tang San couldn't help being surprised.
No matter in his previous life or in this life, Tang San has never gone so far!
"This time is not long, it's just that you two are still too young and haven't traveled far. When you grow up, you will definitely go further."
Hearing Tang San's surprise, the master couldn't help showing a little nostalgia on his face, as if he was reminiscing about his past.
"Since you have to go so far, teacher, why don't you take the time to tell us about soul masters and soul beasts."
Although Bai Ge knows a lot about the many secrets on Douluo Continent, Bai Ge is only at the level of Xiao Bai for some of the most basic soul master world knowledge, so next to this opportunity, Bai Ge couldn't help but suggest.
"Yes, let me tell you the most basics first, and when I get to the road, I will tell you in detail."
Hearing Bai Ge's words, the master nodded.
"Hmm... because this line of business we are going to is the soul hunting forest, where we will definitely encounter the soul beast, so I will tell you about the soul beast first."
"First of all, it is the strength of the soul beasts. Because the soul beasts do not cultivate like our humans, they can only rely on time to build up the cultivation base. According to the cultivation base of the soul beast, our spirit master world divides the soul beast into ten. Nian Soul Beast, Hundred Year Soul Beast, Thousand Year Soul Beast, Wannian Soul Beast and One Hundred Years Soul Beast.
Its meaning is just as the name implies. The standard is that a soul beast who has cultivated for more than ten years is a soul beast for ten years. After a hundred years of cultivation, it is a soul beast for a hundred years. The number of years only refers to the cultivation base, time is only used as a standard, and the specifics also depend on the talent and effort of the soul beast.
The method of distinguishing the cultivation base of the soul beast is mainly based on the body shape and physical characteristics of the soul beast. Most of the body shape and physical characteristics of the soul beast will change according to the cultivation base, so it is easy to distinguish. The specific identification depends on the soul beast. Type, we will talk about it when that happens.
Then there is the spirit ring, the spirit beasts of different cultivation bases have different spirit rings.
Among them, the spirit ring of the ten-year spirit beast is white, the one hundred-year-old is yellow, the spirit ring of the thousand-year spirit beast is purple, the spirit ring of the ten-thousand-year spirit beast is black, and the spirit ring of the 100,000-year spirit beast is red..."
In the master's teaching, time gradually passed by like this.
Leaving Notting College, the master did not immediately take Bai Ge and Tang San out of the city, but first entered the commercial street in Luoding City.
Here, the master bought a lot of things, such as blood clotting potions and realgar powder. You can obviously guess that they were prepared for some specific soul beasts. There are also items like dried meat, fruits, and flour cakes that are obviously for The dry food prepared for the trip, but in the end, the master also bought a full twenty catties of white radish, which puzzled Tang San beside him.
This Baige naturally knew why, but he definitely couldn't say it, and even though Tang San had some doubts in his mind, the commercial street was so messy, it was not the time to ask questions, so Tang San didn't ask.
After buying things, after letting Bai Ge and Tang San wait for a while beside the things they bought, the master hired a carriage in Notting City.
After putting the things on the carriage one by one, the group boarded the carriage and headed towards the target soul hunting forest.
Both Bai Ge and Tang San rode in a carriage for the first time, so the two of them looked strange after they got on the carriage, and looking out the window from the carriage, various shops and bustling people disappeared like running water. Outside the window, it looks different.
Soon, the carriage drove out of Notting City.
"Bai Ge, Xiao San, come here."
Just as Bai Ge and Tang San wandered around the scenery outside the window, the master's voice suddenly came from beside them, and when they heard the voice, the two quickly turned their heads.
"Teacher, what's the matter?"
"Here, this is my meeting gift for you."
Seeing the two of them looking back, the master slowly took out a book and a belt from the bag beside them, then handed them to them, and said lightly.
"Meeting ceremony?"
"Yes, the meeting ceremony, these two things, among them, the belt was accidentally obtained when I was young 30 years ago. This belt looks ordinary, but in fact it is a top-notch soul guide. Its function is to store things. One's own soul power is injected into it, and each piece of jade above can provide one cubic meter of storage space to store items.
And this book is a combined book of all the theoretical knowledge related to Wuhun proposed by me. There are my comments on it. Although it is of little value, it is the crystallization of my knowledge and has a certain commemorative significance. "
Looking at the book in his hand, the master slowly said.
"I don't know your preferences, so you can choose between these two items."
"I like reading, give this to me."
As soon as the master's voice fell, Bai Ge reached for the book and left his belt.
Although the belt is a storage equipment, even if you look at the entire Douluo Continent, it is considered very precious, but it is not of much use to the current Baige. On the contrary, the master's martial arts theory is more important to the current Baige. It was even more important, and Bai Ge knew that Tang San could cast hidden weapons, and the belt had a greater effect on Tang San, so Bai Ge simply left it to Tang San.
"White Song..."
Seeing Bai Ge's movements, Tang San was a little moved.
He is not a fool, and naturally knows which of the two items is more precious.
Although the representative meaning of books is extraordinary, in terms of value, the belt is more precious, but Bai Ge decisively left the belt to himself, which had to move Tang San.
"Hehe, you two, very good."
Seeing how his two disciples were friendly and humble, the master couldn't help showing a smile on his unsmiling face.
