Returning to Holy Soul Village with Benefits! Heading to the Stable Market! Buying a Twenty-Year Swift Wind Horse!

Early the next morning.

After washing up and finishing breakfast, Li Fei left Notting City in a carriage.

The mountain roads twisted and turned all the way, jolting constantly.

It was nearly noon by the time he reached Holy Soul Village.

"Finally, I'm here."

By the entrance to Holy Soul Village, Li Fei felt like he was about to throw up.

After paying the fare, the coachman drove away with the carriage.

When the villagers saw Li Fei return, they spread the word among themselves.

Before long, Old Jack, the village chief, came over.

The entire village welcomed him warmly.

"Xiao Fei, it's been two years. You've grown up! You're taller! More mature!"

Old Jack smiled with gratification.

"Grandpa Jack, I came back this time to tell you that I succeeded."

"I became a Two Ring Soul Grand Master."

The next moment, Li Fei revealed two Yellow Soul Rings and his Yin Yang Willow.

Old Jack and the villagers were utterly shocked.

"A Two Ring Soul Grand Master!"

"My heavens! Our village is going to produce a True Dragon!"

Everyone cheered.

Li Fei took out the money he had exchanged beforehand and distributed it among the villagers.

Everyone was overjoyed, and he also arranged for people to improve the houses and the village's economy.

"Xiao Fei, why go this far? We accept your kindness."

"You'll need even more money in the future!"

Old Jack said.

Yet his smile was broad.

Everyone knew they had raised a child who understood gratitude and repaid kindness, a filial child.

They truly had not picked up the wrong child back then.

"If the villagers hadn't raised me together back then, I would have died long ago. Now that I have money, I naturally have to give back to the village. Don't worry about money. I'm now a Two Ring Soul Grand Master, and I can receive ten Gold Soul Coins every month from Spirit Hall as a subsidy. I'm not short on money now."

"Once I raise my Soul Power Level in the future, I'll have even more!"

"I said back then that I would completely change the village and let everyone live as comfortably as city people. I may not be able to fully achieve that yet, but in the future, once I have more money, strength, and status, I definitely will!"

Li Fei said with a smile as he massaged Grandpa Jack's shoulders.

"You really are thoughtful, Xiao Fei. We're deeply moved! On behalf of the village and all the villagers, thank you!"

"Tonight, we'll set up a feast to celebrate!"

Old Jack said with a smile.

"Alright." Li Fei nodded.

The entire village got to work.

As night approached, the banquet was ready.

Everyone sat together and ate, and the atmosphere was joyous.

"Xiao Fei, when do you plan to return to the academy?"

Jack asked.

Li Fei said, "My Soul Power Level has already reached the academy's graduation standard. I've graduated, so I won't be returning to Notting Academy."

Grandpa Jack said, "Oh? That makes sense. I heard a One Ring Soul Master can graduate. You only graduated after becoming a Two Ring Soul Grand Master, so that's rather late. What are your plans from now on?"

"Xiao Fei, what do you plan to do next?"

Everyone asked curiously.

Li Fei smiled. "I plan to attend the Plant Advanced Academy. It's a higher-level academy than Nottingham Soul Master Academy, and it's also where Plant Type Soul Masters gather. My spirit is a Willow Tree, a typical Plant Spirit. There's nowhere more suitable for me. I've already obtained a recommendation letter from the Headmaster."

After a pause, he added, "The journey there is far away. I may not be able to return for several years."

"It's fine. As long as it helps you, no distance is too great!"

Grandpa Jack said with a smile.

And so, everyone chatted as they continued eating.

Three days later, he finally bid farewell to the village and formally set off for the Advanced Plant Soul Master Academy.

Records in Notting City's library stated that the Advanced Plant Soul Master Academy was located in the southeastern region of the Heaven Dou Empire, near the edge of the Jadeite Forest. It was a place far removed from struggles for political power.

This was to prevent the local politics from affecting the academy's purity in teaching and nurturing students.

Furthermore, that area was also one of the front lines in the war zone between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

Occasionally, members of the Plant Advanced Academy would even assist Heaven Dou soldiers in fighting Star Luo soldiers.

It was at least a thousand kilometers from Li Fei's current location.

"Ah, the journey is so far. At this rate, it'll take at least half a year to get there."

"It's not a solution to keep the coachman following me. It seems I'll have to go to the Stable Market and buy a fast horse to ride myself."

Li Fei had the carriage head for Notting City's largest Stable Market.

Notting City, Stable Market.

It was bustling here. Many merchants and customers were bargaining, and many fine horses were for sale.

"Hello, boss. I want the fastest horse."

"What good horses do you have here?"

Li Fei walked into the stable hall and asked the receptionist directly.

"Yes, Lord Soul Master. The fastest and best horses we have are Swift Wind Horses."

"They are Ten-Year Soul Beasts. When they run, they are as fast as the wind and can travel up to a Hundred Li in a day! However, they also eat a lot!"

The receptionist said with a smile.

Although Li Fei was plainly dressed, his bearing made it clear that he was no ordinary person.

On his chest was a Two Ring Soul Grand Master Badge certified by Spirit Hall.

That was a symbol of status and power!

"Do you have horses with higher cultivation, and faster ones? Money isn't a problem!"

Li Fei asked.

"Please wait a moment. I'll take you to see my boss."

"He may be able to get one."

The receptionist said.

"Alright." Li Fei followed the worker into the office at the back.

Inside sat a fat man.

He held a cigar between his fingers and smoked contentedly.

His hands were adorned with all kinds of gold, silver, and jewelry.

The worker walked to the fat man's side and whispered in his ear.

The fat man was startled when he heard it.

He immediately looked at the Two Ring Soul Grand Master Badge on Li Fei's chest and shuddered.

However, seeing how young Li Fei was, he frowned again.

Still, this person possessed extraordinary bearing and was likely some family's Young Master.

He hurriedly stood and greeted him warmly.

"Lord Soul Master, hello. We happen to have a batch of Twenty-Year Swift Wind Horses that just arrived. They can travel up to two Hundred Li in a day. Other than that, there truly aren't any with higher cultivation!"

The fat man said politely.

"Alright, take me to see them." Li Fei nodded.

"Certainly, this way please!" The fat man nodded and led the way.

They soon arrived at a stable, where Li Fei saw a magnificent Hot-blooded Steed!

Powerful Wind Attribute Soul Power fluctuations emanated from its body.

"Good horse!" Li Fei exclaimed.

The fat man smiled. "Of course. To catch this horse, our Stable Association dispatched quite a few Soul Masters."

Their Stable Association also had Soul Masters, though they were merely some One Ring Soul Masters.

Compared to Li Fei, a Two Ring Soul Grand Master, they were not worth mentioning at all.

He said this only to raise the price.

"How much?" Li Fei asked directly.

"Twenty Gold Soul Coins!" The fat man rubbed his hands together and smiled.

Li Fei frowned. It was so expensive. Was this man treating him like a sucker to fleece?

More importantly, he did not have that much money.

He had already given half of it to the village, leaving only twenty Gold Soul Coins in his pocket.

If he bought this horse, he would have nothing left but the northwest wind to drink.

The next moment, two Yellow Century Soul Rings rose around him.

"Now, I'll give you one more chance to name your price." Li Fei's voice was indifferent.

"Two Century Soul Rings!"

Feeling the terrifying pressure, the fat man's pupils suddenly shrank. His face filled with fear, and he swallowed before forcing a smile. "I quoted the wrong price just now, Lord Soul Master. Actually... actually... it's two Gold Soul Coins..."

"It really can't be any lower. We'd lose money. It wasn't easy for us to send Soul Masters out to catch it either..."

He held up two fingers and looked as though he were about to cry.

"Deal!"

Li Fei's mouth twitched. Damn it, they were making that much profit.

Without another word, he tossed two Gold Soul Coins into the fat man's hands. Then he leaped onto the horse's back, stroked its head, and used his Spiritual Power to communicate with its soul.

In the end, he successfully tamed it and rode away.
