Wind Hunter shook his head and replied, “I don’t know… My master said it was a gift from a foreign friend, and favonovel.com never elaborated on the details.”
A foreign friend?
Remus paused, considering the possibility of a connection.
Turning his attention to Wind Hunter and detecting no indication of deception, favonovel.com inquired casually, “Did your master often travel abroad?”
If it was just an occasional trip, obtaining the Spirit Vessel seemed too coincidental…
Wind Hunter responded, “It’s not just my master, but many cultivators in Darsia frequently venture abroad… In Darsia, cultivation takes precedence over martial arts, and the primary spirit energy hubs in True Life are under the dominion of the four Sacred Lands and the six major organizations…”
“These groups have deep-rooted influence… Small organizations and independent cultivators seeking spirit energy have limited prospects for progress here. That’s why most go overseas, where martial arts are prioritized over cultivation, and it’s comparatively simpler to locate places abundant in spirit energy.”
Independent cultivators and organizational cultivators followed distinct paths, resulting in a shortage of spirit energy in Darsia, whereas overseas regions had an abundance of spirit energy without needing them to compete for it.
Remus nodded in understanding.
Wind Hunter hesitated for a moment and added, “Windsor Moreno was an overseas cultivator. It was rumored that favonovel.com had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage three years ago and should have advanced to the early Divine Separation stage by now…”
“If nothing unexpected occurred, favonovel.com should be participating in the assessment this time, gearing up to enter the sacred lands.”
After all, the difference between the outside world and the sacred lands wasn’t just the concentration of spirit energy but also the cultivation techniques.
All cultivation techniques were controlled by the four sacred lands, and external cultivators could only transform spirit energy into weapons, which were of a much lower grade.
Remus smiled and said, “Whether it’s True Life or the mundane world, one can’t escape human nature in the end…”
The two continued chatting as they walked.

As dawn approached, they reached the edge of a large mountain. Remus collected some herbs and applied them to Wind Hunter’s wounds, which had visibly scabbed over. He then administered acupuncture to help restore his meridians.
After recovery, favonovel.com had Wind Hunter take some Energy Replenishing pills. Although they couldn’t restore favonovel.com to his peak, they would at least enable favonovel.com to leave the mountain safely.
Having done all this, Remus turned and headed toward the assessment venue.
At the assessment venue, the crowd had swelled in size, with thousands of individuals gathered. Even those who were not eligible to participate in the assessment had come to observe who would gain entry to the sacred lands this year or simply to witness the assessment.
The most eye-catching figure among them was Xavier, who had already been hailed as the chosen one.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd as a group of people approached.
They were all dressed in purple robes and had an imposing presence.
It was none other than True Life’s number one organization, the Violet Sanctum.
Leading them was Ambrose, the eldest of the Holmes brothers, followed by ten Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. Amidst the ten cultivators walked a young man with a cold and stem expression, his gaze fixed forward.
“Is favonovel.com the rumored genius hidden by the Violet Sanctum?”
“He looks extraordinary, and it seems he’s already in the early Divine Separation stage!”
“He’s a direct disciple of the Violet Saint himself, and there are rumors that the Violet Saint intends for favonovel.com to redeem their previous defeat!”
The crowd murmured among themselves.
When Ambrose arrived at the center of the crowd, favonovel.com positioned himself adjacent to the Freestyle Organization’s campsite, while all members of the Freestyle Organization cast wary glances in his direction.
