The place Grandmaster chose to camp at was a depression, surrounded by complex terrain and encircled by numerous towering trees.
Grandmaster took out a big glass bottle from a loop shaped spirit tool on his wrist and passed it to Sai Joshi,
"Sprinkle it around, remember, you must sprinkle it evenly."
Sai Joshi took the bottle. The bottle held some powdered type of drug, stinging the nose somewhat, and Sai Joshi's nose wrinkled, already making it out, this was similar to his old world's realgar type drug. Kally sect was famous for secret weapons and poison, and although he was an outer sect disciple, regarding distinguishing poisonous substances he had considerable skill. Earlier in the middle of the process of looking for spirit beasts, within Spirit Hunting Forest he had found no few poisonous plants he could distinguish, putting them within 32 Moons. Grandmaster's knowledge could not be doubted on the spirit side, but regarding distinguishing these spirit power-less poisonous plants, he by far could not compare to Sai Joshi with two lifetimes of experience. Particularly among these poisonous plants were very many that required each other to be able to issue poisonousness.
Having scattered the powder, Sai Joshi handed back the bottle to Grandmaster.
"Do you know why I let you sprinkle these around the periphery?"
Grandmaster's facial expression was very serious, right now he was a teacher testing his student.
Since he could distinguish what the powder was, how could Sai Joshi not be expected to know Grandmaster's purpose, and without hesitation he said:
"It should have two effects, one is to conceal our scent, and the other is to repel snakes, insects, rats, ants and such types of creatures."
Grandmaster nodded contentedly,
"Correct, precisely like that. This is called snake repelling powder, essential to adventures. Remember, in forests, especially within forests with spirit beasts, you must as much as possible not use fire. Even though the vast majority of wild animals and spirit beasts all will fear firelight, there are also several especially formidable spirit beasts that like fire. In case that you meet them, unless your own cultivation has become sufficiently formidable, you will undoubtedly die."
The color of the sky gradually dimmed, within the forest certainly was not peaceful and quiet, insects and birds called, roars of wild animals rose and fell one after another.
Without lighting a fire, around them was completely pitch dark, Sai Joshi and Grandmaster ate a simple evening meal, both master and apprentice rested leaning against a big tree.
Grandmaster was definitely a qualified teacher, and he paid a lot of attention to Sai Joshi. Even though right now they already should rest, Grandmaster was still again quizzing Sai Joshi's understanding of spirit beasts from the daytime, in order to give him a deeper impression.
Sai Joshi's memory was considered not bad, in addition this was the first time he had come into contact with creatures like spirit beasts, the feelings deepened his memory, and when his answers occasionally had faults they were one by one corrected by Grandmaster.
"Little Sai, do you know why I say that for spirit masters youth is the most important time?"
Grandmaster's deep and hoarse voice brought a somewhat sentimental feeling.
Sai Joshi shook his head, waiting for Grandmaster's explanation.
"Spirit master's cultivation, before 25 years of age is an extremely important process; one can say that achievements up to 25 years of age decides future success. Thirtieth rank is the fire and ice dual heaven threshold. If crossing this threshold before twenty years old, then future prospects are limitless. If unable to cross over in 25 years, then, also forever unable to leap beyond. Youth has the advantage, youth can have the potential. Therefore, you right now cannot delay one minute. Teacher can still help with your first and second spirit ring, but when you require the third spirit ring, teacher will probably be unable to do enough. At that time you have to rely on you yourself. Spirit strength cultivation has no shortcuts, you can only rely on meditation to make spirit power to increase. Although you have the innate full spirit power advantage you even more cannot slack off, otherwise, you do not deserve to become my disciple."
"Luoluo."
At that time, variant spirit Mr. Hog's call abruptly rose.
Spirits were one with their host, so Grandmaster at once started, his body shooting up, looking in that direction.
At this moment, the color of the sky was already completely black, faintly within, ten or more moss green points of light were approaching in their direction.
"It's hell wolves."
Grandmasters voice was somewhat muffled. But without a bit of alarm,
"Little Sai, don't move from here."
Mr. Hog's mouth unceasingly made luoluo calls, seemingly menacing those existences that gradually drew closer, Grandmaster certainly did not see, in the eyes of Sai Joshi by his side flashed a layer of purple, the things in the darkness becoming clear to his eyes.
All in all six wolf type spirit beasts, the height of their bodies all at one metre six or so. The whole body appeared iron grey, and that moss green radiance was precisely their eyes. At this moment slowly closing in straight on Mr. Hog.
Mr. Hog's smell seemed to make them somewhat restless, and while approaching, they kept a half circle formation.
Grandmaster snorted frostily,
"One pack of tenth ranked little wolves dare come harass me. Mr. Hog."
Mr. Hog made a low howl, an inhaling noise just like the scream of a hurricane, and that originally fat belly, expanded with amazing speed, looking like it was a big gradually enlarging ball.
Grandmaster raised his hand and waved it, and from his body a yellow ring of light flew out, encircling Mr. Hog's body, as he solemnly shouted,
"Break wind like striking thunder, rumble the heavens and split the earth Mr. Hog!"
Mr. Hog's pair of clear blue eyes suddenly shone, the yellow ring of light centered on its body suddenly seemed to become a screen of light. The rounded body abruptly shot up, astonishingly climbing upward to a height of five metres, the figure overhead turned around, and a deafening sound like the rumble of thunder erupted in a moment.
