Chapter 34 The Star Dou Forest is different from what you imagined

After buying a few clothes from the square market, stripping and replacing them in the shop, then going out to get a haircut, and buying some gifts, Lin Manshan rushed straight to the blacksmith workshop.

Walking through the door, looking at Tie Shan who was sweating, Lin Manshan smiled and waved, "Uncle Tie Shan!"

"Ah Man?" Tie Shan stopped his hand movements, raised his head, and looked up and down with a surprised face, the familiar voice, the familiar face had shed its childishness. The former child has grown into a real teenager, and his stature has changed greatly.

Became taller and stronger.

The blacksmiths hurriedly put down the tools in their hands and trotted around, exclaiming in wonder.

"Ah Man, it's only been a few months since I've seen you, you've really changed a lot."

"Yes, yes, grown so much taller."

"Hey, spirit masters are different, being able to cultivate means growing faster than ordinary people."

"." A few people said one sentence after another; On their faces, there was both the joy of being reunited, also the relief of elders witnessing their juniors grow up. When Lin Manshan first arrived, he was so little, and now, he was already a brilliant young man.

Wearing a black dress, 1.63 metres tall, and his back black hair simply tied up, with facial features as sharp as a knife edge, at first glance he has trained his body well, and his watery blue eyes are as vivid as a pool, and he is calm and energetic. The crowd nodded their heads and complimented him sincerely on his handsome appearance.

Lin Manshan felt a sense of warmth in his heart, scratched his head and said with a big smile, "Maybe it's because I've been practising hard lately, and I've been eating a lot more."

"Haha, being able to eat is a blessing!" Tie Shan laughed and led Lin Manshan into the inner room.

After chatting for a while and staying for a casual lunch at noon, Lin Manshan returned to his own small courtyard with a few pieces of raw iron on his back.

Cultivation continued step by step.

Time turned to June of the following year, and his spirit power was finally level 20.

After all, it was part-time cultivation, and only cultivating his spirit power in the morning, with his cultivation qualifications and meditation technique, 2 levels in 9 months, compared to Tang San who cultivated at night for almost 4 months for 1 level, it was already pretty good.

This was still under the premise that he had absorbed the right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor, if not, he felt that his cultivation speed would have to be even slower, and he would have broken through level 20 even later.

In the past 9 months, he had only returned to Holy Spirit Village 1 time on New Year's Day, and told Old Jack's family about his graduation from the academy, although the people felt sorry for him, they didn't say anything, and there was only relief, encouragement and support.

As for Tang San, Lin Manshan did meet him a few times during the New Year, and at first, the other party didn't even recognise him. Regarding his growth and changes, he was a little surprised initially, followed by indifference, and every time they met, he just glanced over.

As for Xiao Wu, every time she saw him, she still had a face of lingering anger, and her eyes were filled with disgust.

Lin Manshan just laughed it off every time, but in his mind, the idea of frying a spicy rabbit in the future was born for no reason.

'Damn, you are not the only one who can hold a grudge. Every day giving me such a look really spoiled my good mood. When I could absorb the 100,000-year-old spirit ring, the first thing I'll do is look for you to get it.' Sitting in the carriage Lin Manshan lifted the curtains, looking back at the distant Nuoding City, his mind could not help but think of Xiao Wu's punchable face, and he immediately became angry, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

Now that his spirit power has broken through level 20, naturally, it's time to go hunting for the spirit ring.

With his current physical strength and soul power within his body to safeguard it, he thought he would have no problem absorbing a thousand-year-old spirit ring, but even ordinary thousand-year-old soul beasts are rare in the Primary Spirit Forest, not to mention the existence of a power attack system spirit beasts with high quality.

Therefore, after some consideration, Lin Manshan decided to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to look for it.

It would be a long journey and there was no rush, so of course, he did what would make him comfortable, hence hired a carriage.

Immersed in cultivation, time passed quickly, by the morning of the eighth day, the carriage finally arrived at an Inn ten miles away from the Star Dou Great Forest.

The Star Dou Great Forest was not like the Spirit Forest, no one dared to open a shop too close to it.

There weren't many people in the Inn, but most of them were Spirit Masters, unfortunately, there weren't any eye-catching little beauties from the various academies.

After briefly freshening up, Lin Manshan set off on foot.

And not long after Lin Manshan left, two large carriages stopped in front of the inn.

Afterwards, seven beautiful young ladies in blue short dresses jumped down in order.

As soon as they stepped into the inn, the people around them cast sidelong glances and then revealed a look of astonishment, "People from the Skywater Academy."

"It's worthy of being the Skywater Academy, it's indeed as the rumours say, the students are all full-blown beauties."

"Yeah, they're really good-looking."

"..."

While the crowd was murmuring, a burst of applause suddenly came from behind the young girls, "Alright. Everyone quickly look for a place to sit down, eat something first, and refresh yourselves for a while, and when you have rested, we'll set off."

"Yes!" The young girls responded in unison, heading towards the empty seats on one side.

***

Star Dou Great Forest outskirts.

"Worthy of being the largest gathering place for spirit beasts on the continent." Looking at the dark and deep, ancient forest with ancient trees in front of him, Lin Manshan sighed deeply. Compared to the forest in front of him, he suddenly felt that the Primary Spirit Forest was just a small jungle behind his own yard.

Just the thickness of the trees was not on the same level.

'Tsk tsk, if this was located in the previous world, absolutely every single tree would be a holy place for internet celebrities to visit, if just a single tree were placed somewhere in a remote location, it would be an existence that could be worshipped by local residents inserting incense.'

Sighing under his breath, Lin Manshan stepped forward, 'Old rules, let's find the water source first.'

When it came to a place where it would be easier to find power attack system spirit beasts, it would definitely include the area with water currents.

Giant bears, buffaloes, elephants, orangutans. And so on, all of them were water-loving species, and all of them were known for their strength.

'It's still the periphery, I have to hurry up.' In the middle of his thoughts, his walking speed increased greatly. Now that his soul power had increased dramatically, his soul-sensing range was more than 600 metres, he basically didn't need to worry about encountering spirit beasts' sneak attacks, and he could completely run.

After weaving through the forest for quite a while, he finally came to a fast-flowing river.

Looking up, he immediately found a few hundred-year-old Grey Bears squatting in the water and chewing on fish. Not far away, there are also a few scattered long-legged white storks, on both sides of the river bank, he could also catch a glimpse of various types of spirit beasts of all sizes drinking water and frolicking.

'Worthy of being the Star Dou Great Forest, no matter the number or the types, the primary Spirit Forest can't beat it, this is still only the periphery...' Lin Manshan sighed and did not step out of the shrubs to disturb them, but continued to rush upstream.

Time quickly came to night and nothing was found.

'How come the outer boundaries of this Star Dou Great Forest feel bigger than the entire Primary Spirit Forest? I haven't encountered any powerful thousand-year power system spirit beasts after travelling for most of the day, and there are a whole lot of hundred-year-old spirit beasts instead.' Lin Manshan couldn't help but exhale.

After half a day of fumbling around, he had to admit that the vastness of the Star Dou Great Forest and the complexity of the terrain far exceeded his imagination. Alpine valleys, cliffs, hills and mountains, it could be said that any terrain that could be imagined in his mind could be encountered or glimpsed from a high place in the Star Dou Great Forest, and if he hadn't followed the river, he doubted that he would not be able to find his way back in the future.

This is no longer a forest, it's simply a small continent.

'There's no other way, I can only keep going along the river, after all, I did manage to encounter a thousand-year-old spirit beast recently.'

With a deep sigh, Lin Manshan began to arrange his little nest and closed his eyes for a nap.

The next day, Lin Manshan woke up early, washed his face by the river, and continued to walk forward.

Along the way, he did encounter quite a few thousand-year-old spirit beasts, and there were quite a few power system ones as well, however, none of them belonged to the top tier. Based on the fact that he came alone all the way. If he is going to find one, he has to find a satisfactory one, so, on this day, there is still nothing to be gained.

On the third day, nothing.

On the fourth day, he grabbed an ant and used the Beast Control Technique, shoved it into the grass by the river bank, and with the 'Eye' as a guide, he began to grope his way to the side of the river.
