Chapter 75: Arrival in Soto
The next morning, Shi An knocked on Shi Lin's door.
"Young Master." Shi An's voice came from outside the room.
Upon hearing Shi An's voice, Shi Lin slowly opened his eyes and then exited his cultivation state.
Shi An must have something to tell him that came up so early.
"Brother An," Shi Lin responded, then opened the door and welcomed Shi An inside.
"Young Master, we'll most likely be camping outside for the next few days, so we need to buy some supplies," Shi An said earnestly to Shi Lin after closing the door to his room.
After hearing Shi An's words, Shi Lin nodded in agreement, agreeing that preparations should indeed be made in advance.
However, Shi Lin also showed a faint smile, as he had already purchased a large amount of supplies yesterday.
"Brother An, you rested yesterday, so I had a good time exploring Black Feather City and bought a lot of things. Here, take a look and see if what I bought is enough. If there's anything we need, we can go and buy it later." Shi Lin stretched out his hand, and with a flash of soul power, the Pocket Gu appeared in Shi Lin's hand.
Shi An didn't know why Shi Lin was able to make the Pocket Gu appear out of thin air, but he still took the Pocket Gu, input his soul power, and began to examine the contents of the Pocket Gu.
A dozen minutes later, Shi An nodded to Shi Lin.
"Young Master, you have enough supplies. We don't need to replenish anything. We can just set off." Shi An said to Shi Lin with a simple smile.
Thinking that he was going to sleep and had asked Shi Lin to go out and buy supplies, Shi An scratched his head sheepishly.
"By the way, Brother An, do you need to buy a few more horses? I have some space in this room where I can raise horses," Shi Lin asked Shi An.
After the Pocket Gu became Shi Lin's natal Gu worm, not only did the space inside become larger, but it could also be used to raise Gu worms and living creatures.
This made things much easier for Shi Lin.
"Young Master, what you said is absolutely right. If we buy a few more horses, we can arrive in Soto City a little earlier." Shi An's eyes lit up, and then he nodded to Shi Lin.
After leaving the hotel, the two bought two fine horses in Black Feather City, put them into Shi Lin's personal space, and then left Black Feather City in a carriage.
With two more horses, you can replace one when it gets tired, ensuring the carriage stays fast.
Twelve days passed in the blink of an eye, and Shi Lin and Shi An finally arrived in Soto City.
Because of the two extra horses, the carriage was much faster, which is why it arrived in Soto City three days ahead of schedule.
The two of them suffered a lot along the way. Although they had plenty of supplies, they couldn't eat or sleep well.
After all, this was the first time the two of them had traveled so far, so it was normal for them to feel unaccustomed to it.
Fortunately, Shi Lin and Shi An did not encounter any bandits. If they encountered weaker bandits, the two of them could handle them. However, if they had encountered powerful Soul Masters acting as bandits, the two of them would have been finished.
"Young Master, we've finally arrived in Soto City!" Shi An brushed aside his dirty hair, looked at the thick city walls in front of him, and saw the names on them, and said to Shi Lin with delight.
"Come on, Brother An, let's go into town. I'll treat you to a meal at a restaurant!" Shi Lin waved his hand and said excitedly to Shi An.
Although the two of them brought a lot of supplies in the past few days, setting up a tent and sleeping in the wild was really too much of a hardship, and they didn't get enough rest. They were both exhausted.
During these ten days, they only passed through four cities, and spent the remaining six days sleeping in tents in the wild.
They can take this opportunity to rest properly while they're in Soto.
"Alright, young master!" Shi An replied to Shi Lin without hesitation.
Then Shi An drove the carriage into the city of Soto.
Soto City is the largest city Shi Lin has encountered on his journey. It is likely that, in addition to Shrek Academy, Shi Lin will be able to purchase a large amount of the things he needs.
Upon entering Soto City, Shi Lin and Shi An immediately found the largest hotel and settled in.
Shi Lin brought out 10,000 gold soul coins this time, and only spent 305 of them. Under normal circumstances, 10,000 gold soul coins still have strong purchasing power.
After returning to his room, Shi Lin jumped into the bathtub without hesitation and began to wash away the grime on his body.
During this period, Shi Lin has been busy traveling and hasn't taken a bath for three days.
Comfortably lying in the hot water, Shi Lin activated his personal space and began to inspect it.
In the previous six cities, Shi Lin had purchased a lot of supplies, but he had not encountered any treasures like the Heavenly Crystal Lotus, nor had he acquired any soul beast corpses.
Shi Lin's personal space was divided into three areas, with the largest area containing the various Gu worms that Shi Lin carried with him.
The second space is a wooden stable with two horses inside, since Shi Lin's personal space can store living creatures.
The third space contains various daily necessities, food, materials for refining Gu, and Heavenly Crystal Lotus.
After ten days of careful cultivation by Shi Lin, all the Heavenly Crystal Lotus seeds have sprouted. As long as the herb essence is used every day, the Heavenly Crystal Lotus seeds will grow healthily.
Shi Lin will have a large number of Heavenly Crystal Lotus Gu in his hands in the future!
That's a great thing for increasing cultivation speed!
With the Heavenly Crystal Lotus, his father should be able to break through to level ten within half a year!
As his strength increases in the future, Shi Zhen's ability to protect himself will also be greatly enhanced.
Aside from the Heavenly Crystal Lotus, there wasn't much else of value in Shi Lin's personal space; it was mostly Gu worms and materials that Shi Lin had brought with him.
After tidying up his personal space, Shi Lin closed his eyes and lay comfortably in the bathtub, enjoying the long-lost peace and quiet.
Now that Shi Lin and his companion have successfully arrived in Soto City, their main task now is to deceive Shrek Academy and bring all of them back to their homes.
The teachers at Shrek Academy are no ordinary people.
More importantly, Flander is greedy, and Shi Lin feels that he has a high chance of abducting Flander.
Being able to use gold soul coins to lure away a bunch of combat power worth the price of a Soul Saint is a huge profit for them.
After feeling the water cool down, Shi Lin got out of the bathtub, dried himself off, changed into clean pajamas, and went straight to bed.
After the bumpy journey, Shi Lin was already exhausted. He lay down in bed and fell into a deep sleep not long after.
As for visiting Soto, he'll have to wait until tomorrow morning.
After all, besides Shrek Academy, Soto City also has Hibiscus Wine waiting for him.
