"Well, you could help yourself," Wang said. "Just make sure you don't have an extra schedule before imrsing yourself in the wonders of knowledge."
I laughed. "Sure thing, Mister Wa Shi Tong."
The owl turned and walked away. I let out a sigh of relief internally. I had risked offending this spirit to get what I wanted, and I was quite happy with the results.
I looked at my hands, holding the two scrolls. One contained a spiritual breathing technique to project the soul into the spirit world, and the other was a thod to increase my Chi—which would require to travel to the North Pole.
But on the other hand, with a cloud under , I didn't think I would have to waste much ti.
All I needed now was to find two more pieces of information.
One: the date of the cot, through the old-school thod—geotry and history.
Two: the date of the eclipse.
I could invade the Fire Lord's palace at that ti, and I could make an assumption about the cot's date based on that.
And if the thod for increasing spiritual energy worked too well for , I might even be able to take on the entire Fire Palace alone with bloodbending.
Well, steam bending and waterbending would be enough for . After all, I could freeze humans or dehydrate them completely in a matter of seconds.
I opened the scroll for the thod to visit the spirit world.
[Skill has been learned.]
[Spiritual ditation.]
[ditate to enter the spirit realm.]
[Using accumulated experience.]
[Spiritual ditation up to level 6.]
[Can now enter the spirit world.]
[Spiritual ditation up to level 10.]
[Can now enter the spirit world in a matter of 3 seconds.]
I guess three seconds was plenty of ti. I wouldn't need to use more experience points.
On the other hand, I was glad to have the extra experience points. What would take others talent and practice ca easily to in just a few seconds.
Then, I opened the second scroll.
[ 2000 accumulated experience points.]
I understood the scroll.
So, in short, I had to get one of the fish to like .
The scroll didn't ntion the location of the fish, which happened to be the Moon and Ocean spirits who had given up their immortal forms.
But I had a very good idea of where they were.
The library is burned… I thought. That ans General Zao has been here. Yet, the fish aren't dead. This makes sense because the only reason he went to the North Pole was to chase the Avatar. But at the sa ti, I believe he's waiting for a good reason to go to the North Pole and kill the spirits. So… I need to give him that reason.
I guess this was where the Order of the White Lotus could co in handy.
I then arrived at another section with a calendar showing the movents of the moon and the sun. I guessed it calculated the positions of the moon and sun based on the date. I fiddled with it for a bit and realized that we had about one month until the eclipse.
I didn't know exactly how far that was from Sozin's cot, but I knew it was close enough.
That ant there was no use in freeing the Avatar now.
I stretched my arms up, left the library section, and went to where Toph and Katara were waiting. Both of them were asleep, so I waited a few hours before waking them up. I asked them to get ready to leave, and they did. In no ti, I summoned a cloud from a bottle of water and flew us out of the library, finding ourselves in the desert.
I flew us to a nearby town.
At the sa ti, I held a book titled The Order of the White Lotus for Dummies.
I gave it a quick read and morized everything at once.
There was a nearby spot to exchange information.
All I had to do was say the code, and I'd be good to enter.
"So, where are we heading?" Katara asked.
"To find your brother a wife," I said.
I an, if things went the sa as in canon and his canonical girlfriend didn't turn into the moon, he would be fine.
"What a funny joke. It's killing ," Katara rolled her eyes and deadpanned, not seeming to take my words seriously.
Toph chuckled.
"Anyways, let's go to the motel, pack our stuff, and leave," I said. "anwhile, I'll go gather so info."
"Do you know anyone around here?" Toph asked.
"No. But I know how to find out," I replied.
After reaching the desert town, the girls went to the motel to gather their things. I went to a nearby flower shop. I gave the shopkeeper the code, and he replied with another code, indicating that we were from the sa organization. I gave him my White Lotus token, and he got in.
We chatted for a bit, and he was kind enough to make so tea—bless him. I drank the tea while asking for information about Zao from the Fire Nation. At this point in the tiline, he had made it to General before the Avatar had even appeared. He wasn't overseeing just a few bases; he was living with his family at one.
My plan had been simple: make General Zao attack the spirits, save the spirits, and have the spirits owe , giving spiritual power.
But to make the first part happen, I needed to provoke him.
"He's living with his family. Interesting. He's not afraid for their safety despite the cris he's committing?" I asked.
The older man replied, "He's quite confident in the defenses of his fort. Besides, we haven't been able to establish a branch in his base. He's very careful and very cruel at the sa ti. We haven't found any weaknesses in him yet."
"Oh, boy," I smirked widely, forming a plan.
So, Zao was quite confident in his defenses. But did he know that the full moon would arrive in three days? And for the next three days, it would shine brightly in the sky.
