On an ordinary road that wasn't too wide, a figure was slowly walking forward. This person didn't look very old, about 15 or 16 years old. He was wearing ordinary gray clothes, but he looked very sturdy. He had bronze skin and a pair of big eyes. He looked very healthy.
Although he was wearing ordinary clothes, he had a kind of temperament. This temperament was very strange. It gave people a kind of vitality, but it also had a somewhat sharp feeling. This person was Little Crane Grass.
Little Crane Grass had already left the Hu Clan and started his own trial. Every man in the Hu Clan had to go through a trial to complete their coming of age ceremony. The duration of this trial was generally divided into three years. They could receive 100 silver coins from the Hu Clan. After that, they wouldn't receive any help from the clan.
Although it was impossible for people to follow and give marks for such a trial, there were also requirements. First, they were required to record at least 50 types of plants in the wild. The more detailed, the better. Second, they were required to write a travel book. They had to clearly write down what they did and where they went in the past three years. These two tasks had to be completed. As long as they completed these two tasks, they would be considered to have passed the three trials.
The Hu Clan also had a third task. This task was to find their own weapon. The higher the level of the weapon, the better the completion of this task. The better the completion of the task, the more attention they would receive after returning to the Hu Clan.
Although Little Crane Grass was walking alone, he was carrying a small box on his back. This small box was made of wood and didn't look very big. However, this small box had a lot of functions. Not only were there things like pen and paper used to write, but there was also a simple luggage and some ordinary belongings inside.
Little Crane Grass walked forward with a happy expression. While walking, he listened to the conversations of the plants on both sides of the road. He could also get a lot of useful information from these plants.
The Hu Clan didn't provide much help to their disciples who went out for trials. Therefore, Little Crane Grass didn't have a horse or a boat. He could only walk.
Now, Little Crane Grass had been away from the Hu Clan for seven days. He had already walked out of the Hu Clan's sphere of influence. He spent most of his time on the road, but he didn't feel tired at all. This was because when he was rushing, he would also listen to the conversations of the other plants. If he found that a plant was sick, he would also stop to treat it. Therefore, he didn't walk very fast.
As he walked forward, suddenly some crops appeared on both sides of the road. Upon seeing these crops, Little Crane Grass knew that there was a village in front. He couldn't help but smile. This was because a village meant that there were people, and people meant that he could go there and eat a hot meal.
Being a Plant Master was actually very difficult. Sometimes, they would have to stay in the wild for a long time. They wouldn't be able to eat hot food for a long time. This was because there were some places that weren't suitable for making a fire.
Little Crane Grass quickened his pace as he walked forward. At the same time, he couldn't help but reach out his hand to touch the small badge on his left chest. This badge looked very simple. It was a round badge with a small tree drawn on it. On top of the small tree, there was also a star.
This star wasn't used for decoration, it was a symbol of status. This star represented a Level 1 Plant Master, and the highest level of a Plant Master was Level 6. In the entire Soul Realm, there were very few Six Realm Plant Masters. For example, Hu Yuan was only a Level 5 Plant Master.
However, one shouldn't underestimate this Level 1 Plant Master badge. With this badge, no matter which city Little Crane Grass went to, he wouldn't be taxed. Moreover, if he went to any city's Plant Master Association, he would be well taken care of. The Plant Master Association would also arrange food and accommodation for him. Of course, this would also cost money, but there would be a certain discount.
In addition to these, if you wear this badge, you can also treat people and plants. It can be said that this badge was a symbol of status. There were a lot of Soul Plant Masters who had been fighting for this badge for their entire lives.
Just like the villages that he passed by on the way, once they saw a Level 1 Plant Master, they would warmly receive him and ask him to look at the plants in their village. If the plants in their village needed treatment, the people in the village would also give him some compensation. One must know that ordinary villages like this wouldn't be able to afford a Plant Master under normal circumstances. Also, no Plant Master would deliberately come to a small village like this to treat the plants in their village.
Before long, Little Crane Grass saw a small village. This village wasn't very far from the official road. The entire village seemed to have more than a hundred households, it wasn't very big. However, the houses in the village looked pretty good. The people in this village should be living a good life.
Little Crane Grass slowly walked towards the village. The houses in the village were very far away from the official road. Only one house was next to the official road. This house was very big. On the side facing the official road, there was also a shop with a sign hanging on it. It seemed like it was a place to rest and eat.
Little Crane Grass didn't go into the village. Instead, he went to the small shop. Small shops like this didn't have a name. The shop wasn't very big, there were only nine tables inside. At this time, there weren't many people.
There were two people in the shop, an old man and a young man. The old man was sitting behind the counter, looking at the account book in his hand. As for the young man, he was sitting at a table, dozing off.
When Little Crane Grass arrived in front of the shop, the old man behind the counter saw Little Crane Grass. He first noticed Little Crane Grass' clothes, then he saw Little Crane Grass' soul object. Finally, he saw Little Crane Grass' Plant Master badge on his chest. Upon seeing Little Crane Grass' Plant Master badge, the old man couldn't help but stare. Then his face lit up. He quickly rushed out from behind the counter and bowed to Little Crane Grass, "Greetings Sir Plant Master. I didn't expect that this small shop would be able to receive a Sir Plant Master today. This is truly a blessing for this small shop. May I ask if Sir wants to rest or just eat something?"
Little Crane Grass looked at the old man and smiled, "I'm just passing by, I'm just here to eat something. Old man, you don't have to be so polite, just prepare some steamed buns and some vegetables for me."
The old man nodded and kicked the young man awake. He had the young man go to the kitchen and prepare some food for Little Crane Grass. Little Crane Grass put down the box and found a table to sit down.
The old man had been following Little Crane Grass. When he saw Little Crane Grass sit down, he immediately picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Little Crane Grass. Then he placed the teacup in front of Little Crane Grass and said to Little Crane Grass, "Sir, please enjoy."
Little Crane Grass smiled and said, "Sir, there's no need to be so polite. You can go do your work."
The old man looked at Little Crane Grass and hesitated. Little Crane Grass looked at the old man in confusion and said, "Sir, do you have something to say? If I can do it, I'll certainly help. "
When the old man heard Little Crane Grass, he couldn't help but be happy as he said, "Thank you, Sir. Sir, as you can see, we're just a small village. The people in the village are all farming for a living. This year's crops are growing well, it seems like we're going to have a good harvest. But I don't know why, but a few days ago, something strange happened in the forest east of the village. Everyone who entered the forest was injured. The injured people said that it was a plant that injured them. Although the plant looked like a small tree, it was actually very strong. The people in our village simply aren't the opponent of the small tree. I wonder if Sir can help us take a look at the situation?" Little Crane Grass looked like a small tree. Although our village is doing well, we can't take out too much money. We've only prepared ten gold coins as a reward. If you agree, the people of our village will definitely thank you for your great kindness. "
When Little Crane Grass heard the old man, he became curious. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go take a look after I finish my meal." When the old man heard Little Crane Grass agree, he excitedly thanked Little Crane Grass. Then he turned around and went to the kitchen. Before long, he came out with four dishes as well as a plate of steamed buns.
The old man placed the dishes and steamed buns on the table, then he said to Little Crane Grass, "Sir, please do your best. This small table doesn't have anything good, so I'll have to trouble Sir."
Little Crane Grass smiled and waved his hand, "Sir, there's no need to be polite. You can go do your work. After I finish my meal, you can take me to the place you mentioned." The old man nodded, then he turned around and went to the kitchen. Before long, the young man came out of the kitchen and respectfully stood not far from Little Crane Grass's table. He didn't dare to make a sound.
Little Crane Grass was really hungry. After eating three steamed buns and a lot of dishes, he felt full. He put down his chopsticks and took a sip of tea. Then he turned to the young man and said, "Brother, I'm done eating. Can you take me to the forest that the old man mentioned?"
When the young man heard Little Crane Grass's words, he quickly said, "Yes, yes, please Sir." Then he led Little Crane Grass to the back of the store.
When Little Crane Grass came out of the store, he was stunned. This was because there were a lot of villagers standing in front of him. These villagers looked like they had just gathered. The one leading them was the old man from the store. When the old man saw Little Crane Grass coming out, he immediately bowed to Little Crane Grass and said, "Greetings, Sir. Many thanks." The villagers behind him also said in unison, "Many thanks, Sir." These people didn't look down on Little Crane Grass just because of his age. In a place like the Soul Realm where hierarchy was very strict, even if Little Crane Grass was young, the villagers wouldn't dare to be rude to him.
Little Crane Grass didn't care about it, he just smiled and said, "Sir, you're too polite. Please lead the way." The old man didn't say anything, he stepped to the side and made an inviting gesture to Little Crane Grass, "Sir, please." Little Crane Grass nodded and walked forward. The old man and the other villagers clustered behind Little Crane Grass. The old man guided Little Crane Grass from time to time. After a while, they arrived in front of a forest. When Little Crane Grass saw the forest, he finally understood why the villagers were so anxious to ask someone to deal with the plant. It was because the forest was too close to the village.
