Wang Li naturally understood what Ma Xiunuo was shocked about, so a simple and honest smile appeared on his thick-browed, big-eyed face, and he sincerely said, "Perhaps it's because my Spirit is Mutated Blue Silver Grass, so under the guidance of the academy's teachers, my cultivation has always been very fast."
After speaking, Wang Li looked at Ma Xiunuo, almost adding, "You have to believe me!"
Ma Xiunuo believed him. He lowered his head again to look at Wang Li's file, muttering, "Mutated Blue Silver Grass, Mutated Blue Silver Grass..."
He gradually accepted this reason in his heart. After all, if it was a mutated Spirit, it was normal for it to have some special characteristics.
Immediately, Ma Xiunuo began to follow the procedure, confirming whether Wang Li's Spirit and spirit ring met the standard of a one-ring Spirit Master. He said gently to Wang Li, "Alright, Wang Li, summon your Spirit."
Wang Li had nothing to hide. He immediately summoned his Spirit. With a thought, a milky white light shone, and a blue plant grew out of thin air. Thick vines appeared with it, and a yellow spirit ring floated up and down.
Ma Xiunuo looked at all this, his eyes already wide with surprise, and then he quickly asked, "It's actually a hundred-year spirit ring! Wang Li, what Spirit Beast is your spirit ring from?"
Wang Li replied, "It's from a hundred-year Azure Vine."
Ma Xiunuo asked again, "Then, after absorbing the spirit ring, did you awaken any special abilities?"
Wang Li pursed his lips. He knew what Ma Xiunuo really wanted to ask, but how could he reveal the secret of his Blue Silver Grass?
"Well, this, my Blue Silver Grass Spirit, after awakening, was just a bit thicker than other Blue Silver Grass. After absorbing the first spirit ring, these thick vines appeared."
Hearing this, Ma Xiunuo couldn't help but ask, "That's it?"
Wang Li nodded upon hearing this, "That's it!"
Ma Xiunuo's anxious mood gradually calmed down. He already understood Wang Li quite well. A mutated Spirit, with very good cultivation talent, but a Spirit mutated from Blue Silver Grass itself had no special features.
This greatly reduced its value. Their Spirit Hall had countless fast-cultivating geniuses. A Blue Silver Grass Spirit with no special features would not be taken seriously if reported.
Blue Silver Grass is Blue Silver Grass, a waste Spirit is a waste Spirit...
Ma Xiunuo looked at Wang Li, his eyes filled with pity. It was this Spirit that held Wang Li back. He said gently, "That's enough. Put your Spirit away."
Wang Li's heart stirred, and the Blue Silver Grass that had spread everywhere quickly retracted, finally disappearing into his body.
At this moment, Ma Xiunuo took out a crystal ball used to test spirit power and presented it to Wang Li, saying to him, "Finally, test your spirit power!"
Wang Li also placed his hand on it. Instantly, the crystal ball glowed. Ma Xiunuo's eyes widened again, and he said in surprise, "Thirteen levels of spirit power! Wang Li, it seems the Azure Vine Spirit Beast you hunted was not young."
Then Wang Li withdrew his hand and asked sincerely, "Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo, do I count as having completed registration now?"
Ma Xiunuo smiled and said gently, "Almost, almost."
Ma Xiunuo returned to his desk, took out a special piece of paper. The paper was as white as jade, with a hint of spirit power fluctuation, indicating it was made by a Spirit Master.
On this paper, Ma Xiunuo quickly filled in Wang Li's information, including name, origin, Spirit, spirit power... Finally, he stamped it.
At this point, Ma Xiunuo said, "Wang Li, this completes your registration. From now on, you are a Spirit Master belonging to the Heaven Dou Empire. This Spirit Master certificate can prove your identity, registered in the Heaven Dou Empire, Fasinuo Province, Nuoding City, Spirit Hall branch. In the future, when traveling throughout the Heaven Dou Empire, you can pass through various checkpoints and outposts unimpeded, as long as they are not military strongholds."
Taking the Spirit Master certificate handed over by Ma Xiunuo, Wang Li had a sense of receiving an ID card. If this kind of paper with spirit power was made by a certain Spirit Master, then it would be impossible to easily forge.
Spirit Masters, all kinds of Spirit Masters, sometimes they really are convenient.
Immediately, Wang Li put away the certificate, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, he said with a smile, "Thank you, Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo, but I heard that as long as you register as a Spirit Master at the Spirit Hall, you can receive a subsidy."
Ma Xiunuo nodded, looking at Wang Li and explaining, "Yes!"
Then he took out a booklet, on which was written "Heaven Dou Empire -- Spirit Master Subsidy Collection Record." He wrote some of Wang Li's information in this booklet, and then handed it to Wang Li very solemnly: "Wang Li, the Spirit Master certificate, and this booklet, must all be kept well. No matter where you go, to claim your subsidy, you must first show your Spirit Master certificate, and then this booklet. This booklet can be used for ten years. Each time you claim a subsidy, a stamp will be affixed. This is to prevent people from circulating between cities and repeatedly claiming national subsidies. If this booklet is lost, and you want to get a replacement, you must return to the place where you registered as a Spirit Master, the Nuoding City Spirit Hall branch, and the procedures are very troublesome."
Wang Li was a bit surprised. The Spirit Hall's regulations were truly comprehensive. As expected of a Spirit Master force that has existed for a long time and is thriving.
After taking the booklet, Wang Li said, "Thank you, Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo, I understand."
At this point, Wang Li bid farewell to Ma Xiunuo and left. Carrying the Spirit Master certificate and the Spirit Master Subsidy Collection Record, he went to the service hall on the first floor, found the Spirit Master service counter, and received the first gold coin of his life.
Walking out of the Spirit Hall, Wang Li held the Spirit Master certificate and the Spirit Master Subsidy Collection Record in one hand, and played with the gold coin in the other, a smile appearing on his face: "Time to go back to the village!"
He said he was going back to the village, but Wang Li did not set off immediately. Instead, he wandered around the city, because with his school uniform, no matter where he went, people enthusiastically asked him if he needed help.
Because of this, Wang Li bought a whole fat pig, as well as chicken, duck, fish, and various vegetables, various seasonings, and finally a large amount of grain, all at a lower price.
He also rented two ox carts, which used up most of the gold coin he had just received, but Wang Li was happy and didn't care about these things.
The coachman from the carriage company drove the ox carts, carrying Wang Li and the ingredients he bought. After leaving the city, they headed towards Wang Family Village.
Although they brought a lot of things, they finally made it back to the village before dark. The sudden appearance of the ox carts also aroused the curiosity of many villagers.
Finally, the village chief, Wang Ping, was invited out and came forward to negotiate.
Wang Li also got out of the cart at this time, looked at Wang Ping, and in his surprised gaze, spoke his first sentence: "Village Chief Grandpa, I have become a Spirit Master! I want to treat the whole village to a meal!"
