One week passed.
Things settled down, and it was ti for to leave for the Sky Heaven's sect. It was going to be an interesting journey. I started my own preparations for the trials that I was supposed to face. I had a few weeks' worths of food packed in my spatial ring, as well as a lot of spare clothes. I just didn't want to risk anything at all.
I also had a lot of healing pills that I made on my own. I bought a lot of spirit herbs and refined a lot of pills. I was surprised that my skill level did not increase after all of this. I needed these in case I had to recover quickly after a fight. I understood how impractical it was to recover naturally during fights.
Along with all this, I had to replace my spear. I realized that the spear that I had cracked under the imnse pressure that I was under during the stint at the Spirit Jade Pool. It almost screwed over. If I did not have a good spear, then I would not have a weapon to use. I did not want to reveal the Ethereal Weapon just yet.
The spear that I chose was obviously the one that was most suitable for the Blue Dragon Spear Art. I did not select just any weapon. It had to be at least at the level of the spear that I used during the martial gathering. I needed to be able to use the fifth form of the Blue Dragon Spear art. It was going to be my biggest trump card.
Over the week, with all the free ti that I did have, I tried learning the movent skill that I had. But, I wasn't sure about it. It did not feel like I was going anywhere with the way that I was practicing. For this, I needed to use the permanent setup that was carefully shown in the skill book. But for that, I needed a few days to set up, and I was leaving here anyways. I decided that I would put it off and learn it in the sect itself.
"I just hope that they have sothing similar to this thod of practice, or at least a way for to emulate it. I really need to learn a good art, and I do not want a good movent skill to go to waste. This seems like a very powerful skill to learn." I thought to myself.
"Feng'er. Are you ready? You seem like you are just talking to yourself." I heard my father call out.
I shook myself from all my musings let the room. I looked back for one last ti. I wasn't coming here any ti soon. I looked at my father and mother, who looked at with proud looks on their face. There were hints of fear as well. They were afraid of what would happen to in this journey. But if I couldn't even do this much, then what good was it to work this hard?
"Yes, father. I am ready. I think that I should take my leave." I nodded.
"I am very proud of you. Just rember. Once you get there, I want you to give this letter to the gatekeeper of the Heavenly Music Pavillion. Just make sure that his na is Li Tian. You should not be able to look at the contents of the letters, so I suggest that you don't even try it. This is a very private and important letter, and I do not want you to tamper it or anything." he said as he gave a letter. There was a red seal on it, and the mont that I held it, I could feel the letter itself trying to repulse .
"That is the inscription that the letter has. It lets only the person who this letter is intended for open it. Now then. I wish you good luck. I will not accompany you all the way till the end of the city. I know that you should know your way till there. You probably even planned out the way by now." Liu Qian said.
"I did ask a few friends to help out and I know how to get to the Black Swamp forest. After that, however, there seems to be sothing wrong. Not a single person knows how to get to the Sky Heaven's sect from the edge. Apparently, only those that the forest allows will get in, while the rest are not allowed. I don't know what that ans, but it might be sothing related to luck. I just hope that I will be able to find my way through." I said.
"It ans that if you are fated for the Sky Heaven's sect, then you will find the way. But if you are not, then it ans that you are not going to beco a disciple there. I certainly hope that you are going to succeed, but no one knows what the heavens has in store for you." Liu Qian said.
I nodded. In front of was the horse that was going to take all the way to the Shai'ah province. It was going to be a long journey, and I had to take a reliable steed. Or else, I wouldn't get there in ti. This beauty of a horse set back a spirit coin! Apparently, this had a trace of a bloodline of a magical beast, and that it was more powerful than normal steeds. A spirit coin was nothing for , but it was an astronomical amount for the general populace.
I stepped up to the horse and stroked its mane.
"You are quite the expensive stud. You better prove you're worth it." I said as I hopped onto the back of the horse.
I looked one last ti at my parents and nodded at them. Then, I looked away at the destination that I was supposed to go to. Taking the reins in my hands, I shook them, up, and the horse started running.
A new journey awaited .
