Soul travels to another world and becomes a group favorite

In the morning, after having breakfast at the inn, they headed towards Sucheng under the guidance of the boss. However, they were faced with a choice.

"Sir, there are two ways to go to Sucheng, one road and one waterway. But I suggest you take the mountain road." The shop owner introduced.

"Boss, is there any difference between these two routes?" Ling Zhengning asked.

"The mountain road is higher, more tiring to climb, and farther, so it's what most people choose to take. The water route is shorter and easier, but there are more water beasts and it's more dangerous, especially for people who don't know how to swim." The shop owner introduced.

"Thank you, shopkeeper. We got it." Ling Bai put down a few spirit stones, and everyone walked out of the inn together.

"Then let's go to that river first. If the water is not deep, we can take the water route." Ling Chenxi's clear voice sounded, "The water route is faster."

"Okay. When we encounter a low-level water spirit beast, let Ling Xiaofeng and the others go and train with it, and we will fight the mid- and high-level ones." Ling Bai suggested.

"I think it's feasible. Do you understand?" Ling Zhengning agreed and said to the five new partners. Ling Xiaofeng and others nodded in agreement.

Then they came to the waterside, found a small boat, and rowed towards Sucheng. The journey was relatively calm, but when they were about to reach Sucheng, the boat suddenly shook violently.

"Oh no, it's a water spirit beast!" Ling Chenxi shouted and clenched the Qingshuang Sword in his hand.

A huge water spirit beast jumped out of the water and rushed towards the boat with its fangs and claws bared. Ling Xiaofeng and others immediately used their skills and started a fierce battle with the water spirit beast.

However, the strength of the water beast was beyond their expectations. Its powerful attack made the boat shaky and in danger of capsizing at any time.

At this critical moment, Ling Chenxi stepped forward and used the third move of the Sword Soul Blade, "Ice Sword", to freeze the water beast in the air. But this can only temporarily trap the water beast, and they must find a way to get out of the predicament as soon as possible.

"Brother Lingbai, Brother Zhengning, everyone, use your spiritual power to control the boat and move forward quickly." Ling Chenxi shouted

At this moment, Ling Bai heard Ling Chenxi's call. He was the first to concentrate and use his spiritual power to control the boat. Seeing this, the others also hurriedly concentrated and sent spiritual power to the bow, making the boat move forward like an arrow.

Finally, they successfully avoided the attack of the water beast and safely arrived at the shore of Su City.

"That was a close call! I almost died." Ling Xiaofeng said while panting.

"That's right. It was so thrilling just now. Fortunately, Xier has the freezing technique." Sun Yiqian agreed.

"Yes, fortunately the master is here, and we successfully crossed the river." Ling Xiaoxue said thankfully.

"Yes, but this time it also made me realize that I should never underestimate any challenge in the future." Ling Xiaoyu said with emotion.

"Yes, we must always remain vigilant and not take it lightly." The others nodded in agreement.

"Then what should we do now?" Ling Xiaoyue asked.

"Let's take a break first and recover our strength. Everyone take a recovery pill and rest here for half an hour. Then we'll go to the nearby town and find an inn to rest for the night. Let's go into the city early tomorrow morning." Ling Bai suggested.

Everyone took out the recovery pills and began to meditate to restore their physical strength. After half an hour of practice, their physical condition had completely recovered. Afterwards, the group got up and went to a nearby town to find an inn.

Half an hour later, everyone walked to the south of the river. After half an hour, they finally found a small town. Although the town was not big, it was quite lively. There were some simple shops and stalls on both sides of the street, selling various items. People came and went, busy and noisy.

Several people walked into the town, feeling the atmosphere here. Ling Xiaoliu looked at the crowd around her and said in surprise: "There are so many people! Are all these people going to participate in the pill competition and have to pass through Sucheng to come here?" She looked at everyone who passed by curiously, as if she wanted to find the answer from them.

The others also nodded in agreement. This small town did have a lot of people coming in, and most of them had excitement and anticipation on their faces; obviously, they all came here to participate in the pill competition.

"There are too many people here. Everyone, be careful and try not to get into conflicts with others. Let's go find an inn first." Ling Bai instructed everyone.

After walking for a while, an inn with the name Xiangyu appeared in front of everyone. "Let's see if there are any rooms here!" Ling Zhengning said. Everyone nodded in agreement.

Walking into the inn, Ling Bai asked the waiter, "Waiter, are there any empty rooms?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man's voice came from behind him, "Are you from the Jingdu State Guarding General's Mansion? Are you the young master Ling Bai and the young master Zheng Ning?"

Everyone looked at the source of the voice. Looking behind them, they saw a burly middle-aged man standing at the door of the inn. Ling Bai stepped forward and tilted his head to look at the middle-aged man, "Are you... Uncle Zhong, the fireman under the general?"

"Yes, Master Ling Bai, I haven't seen you for ten years. I'm glad you still remember me." said the middle-aged Uncle Zhong.

"Uncle Zhong, how are you? I haven't seen you for a few years, and I almost didn't recognize you." Ling Zhengning said happily.

"Master Ling Bai, Master Zheng Ning, come with me. I will take you to where we live." After Uncle Zhong finished speaking, he saw the little girl in a white dress next to Ling Bai and Ling Zheng Ning, and said excitedly: "Is this the Fourth Miss? Fourth Miss, do you still recognize me? When you and the general came to the military camp before, you liked to run to the kitchen the most."

Ling Chenxi looked at Uncle Zhong in confusion and shook her head gently, indicating that she didn't know him. Then, she turned to look at Ling Bai and Ling Zhengning, her eyes full of doubts.

Seeing this, Ling Zhengning smiled and explained to Uncle Zhong: "Uncle Zhong, Xi'er is still young. How old was she when you and Uncle General went to the border? How can you still remember her?"

Uncle Zhong suddenly realized what was going on. He smiled and touched Ling Chenxi's head and said, "That's right. The fourth young lady was still young back then, but now she has grown up so much."

Ling Zhengning continued, "Uncle Zhong, let's go see where we live first." So, the group followed Uncle Zhong to where he lived. Along the way, Ling Zhengning kept introducing the surrounding environment and buildings to Ling Chenxi, so that she could get familiar with this unfamiliar place as soon as possible.

Middle-aged Uncle Zhong took everyone to a shop called Zhongji Silk Shop and asked the waiter to prepare a room for everyone.

Uncle Zhong introduced, "This silk shop is a contact point (equivalent to an intelligence station) set up by the general who guards the country. A few days ago, I received a letter from the general, telling him about the fourth young lady and asking everyone to take care of her along the way. He also sent the portraits of the three of you over.

The next day after I received the news, I asked people to wait at various intersections and inns, so I could recognize you in time." Uncle Zhong said happily.

"Everyone, go down and have a rest first. We've cleared out a yard for you." After Uncle Zhong said this, he asked the servants to take everyone to the back yard to rest.
