Shirong rolled up the letter and carefully stored it in the bracelet. He would have preferred to destroy the letter, but he still needed to show the seal to the supplier in the Capital of the Ling Kingdom. The supplier was a person working for the Ji clan, disguised as a merchant.

He would never reveal his real identity, even to the heir of the Ji clan, unless they had the proper identification. But for Shirong that had become a problem due to the spatial storage ring being destroyed. He had lost the identity token he had in there.

Thankfully, this seal would serve as the same thing and he would be able to get a new token from the supplier. He would have asked the messenger, but that would have created some problems. Besides, a sensitive thing such as an identity token could not be easily given away and could only be issued by the clan.

What Shirong actually wanted was not even the supplier, but rather access to the teleportation formation. This was how the clans transported important items and letters. It was difficult to communicate with communication jades as the distance between the clan and the people would often be a lot.

Most communication jades only worked up to a range of 1000 kilometers. Anything beyond that and it would become expensive to make a communication jade like that. Only a few important people could use a Communication jade like that.

Shirong had one too, of course, but it was destroyed too. This left him with no choice but to use teleportation formation. Though he knew that he would have to use up a lot of his credits from the clan to get the things he needed.

~Sigh~

Another sigh escaped Shirong's lips as he felt a headache approaching.

"Just as I finished one thing, another popped up. Besides, I'll need to reach the nascent soul realm now too… Ugh! I need to recover my cultivation. Uncle Quan was a child stage nascent soul realm cultivator, and even he died. I cannot be reckless and definitely need to be strong before I go to the Dead Coil marsh." Shirong stated to himself.

While all this was happening, Lin Wu was observing it all with his spirit sense. He had not expected for it to come in handy so fast. But unfortunately, the barrier had stopped him from seeing what exactly was in the letter. Though he already had a plan to obtain that letter ready in his mind.

~Knock~

"Young master Shirong, the banquet is ready." A servant suddenly spoke from the outside.

"Alright, I'm coming," Shirong replied and went to the room where the safe was kept.

He wasn't going to take the risk of leaving the spear here, even if it was kept in a safe. It was better for it to be on his body for most of the time. At least till he got the high grade spatial storage ring, which he hopefully should get in a day or two.

Shirong opened the safe and saw the spear lying there just as he had kept it before. He removed his shirt and robes before picking it up and willing it to change its form. 

~Hum~

The spear trembled lightly before Shirong felt it drawing on his spirit qi. It started using it, and the form of the spear started to morph. This time the transformation was much faster than last time and he was covered in the armor in five seconds.

While he was kept in the safe, Lin Wu had been practicing his new form, trying to get used to it. The more he did it, the more comfortable he got in it, and the less time it required him to transform. Shirong was impressed by this and tapped the armor.

"It's still heavy, but its defenses are definitely quite high. I should test them out later, perhaps…" Shirong muttered to himself.

Lin Wu didn't mind this as he would just be sucking Shirong's own spirit qi to recover and regenerate any injuries he got. In fact, he would also be obtaining a bit more spirit qi due to the stealing property, and the more Shirong used him, the more his cultivation would grow.

Right now Lin Wu was already a quarter of the way to upgrading to the next stage.

"System, show me the spirit qi that I have right now." Lin Wu ordered.

~Ding~

——

HOST CULTIVATION: Mid stage of the Core Condensation Realm

-Spirit Qi required to upgrade = [0000/12000] units (liquid spirit qi)

QI STORAGE: 4157 units [liquid spirit qi]

——

"Hmm, just a few weeks perhaps and I should be able to reach the next stage." Lin Wu muttered to himself as he estimated the rate of increase.

A change of scenery caught Lin Wu's attention as he looked at all the decorations with his spirit sense. 

'Whoa! So this is the banquet they were talking about… this is quite amazing, I don't think I've ever been to anything as grand as this in my past life before.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

There were red lanterns hanging everywhere along with decorative banners. Flowers pots had been placed according to the Feng Shui of the place and auspicious statues of pixue were placed all around. Shirong finally entered the banquet hall and saw that it was filled with hundreds of people.

"Ah hah! Everyone, Young master Shirong is here finally!" One of the elders that was standing near the entrance announced.

Shirong was quickly surrounded by people greeting him and wishing him for prosperity. It took him nearly fifteen minutes just to greet everyone, and it was making Lin Wu bored now.

"Sheesh! So this is the life of aristocrats, I guess. Quite similar to the high society events that I've seen on TV before. Looks like some things envier really change, do they? Even if it's an entirely different world." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

"Young Master, come sit! We have prepared a lot of dishes for you." Clan head Lu said upon seeing him.
