In the only pharmacy of Shining Gold Town, Xiar rushed in after returning, eager to seek help. However, he found the place deserted, with two Security Force patrol officers guarding the entrance.
The entire room looked as if it had been ransacked. All the medicine cabinets were wide open, and a pile of herbs lay scattered on the floor, their pungent odors mingling in an overwhelming stench.
"Young Master, we don't know why he left so suddenly. The people around only heard a loud noise from inside, and when we came to check, there was no one left," one of the patrol officers replied, his expression bewildered and clearly genuine.
Xiar chose not to ask further questions. A heavy feeling settled in his heart as he realized that the man's enemies had come after him.
For a Third-Level Spirit Master to flee in such a panic, it was evident that his enemies were formidable—far beyond what he could handle. Encountering them would mean certain death.
With this realization, his hopes of continuing to seek assistance from the man vanished. Everything from here on out would depend on his own efforts.
As for Rody's potential revenge, Xiar didn’t take it too seriously. His real concern was that under Kathy's influence, Rody might directly approach the Bounty Guild to issue a mission.
The Bounty Guild was an official organization of the Empire, spanning the entire realm and specializing in matters concerning Spirit Masters.
However, Spirit Masters held a status that was transcendent; they were even more elevated than ordinary nobles of the Empire.
The Empire's regulations regarding Spirit Masters were extremely lenient. Aside from not being allowed to kill ordinary people or be seen using Spirit Techniques by them, and not summoning beasts in residential areas, they could act freely as long as they did not affect or harm ordinary citizens.
Fights between Spirit Masters, regardless of whether they resulted in death, were considered private matters and went unregulated by the authorities.
Now, Xiar faced his biggest problem—his Source Crystal was about to run out!
The Source Crystal, equivalent to the energy source of a Spirit Master, was essential; without it, a Spirit Master couldn't even summon a totem, let alone unleash Spirit Techniques or engage in battle.
There wasn't a single Source Crystal to be found in the gold mine. If he continued to stay here, he would soon face a dire situation with no resources left.
It was time to leave...
When Xiar returned to the manor, Marcus was waiting there. Upon seeing him return alone, he exclaimed in surprise, "Xiar, why hasn't anyone else come back? Your clothes are torn! What kind of danger did you encounter?"
At that moment, Xiar's hunting gear had nearly turned into a ragged outfit, with large tears exposing his skin, causing the surrounding guards to exchange worried glances.
"I was attacked by beasts. Two guards died, and the others were injured while protecting me. The wounded are currently being treated at Storm Harbor; I came back first," Xiar explained with a heavy tone.
"Two terrifying monsters also appeared in Radiant Town to the north. They killed dozens before being shot down. Where did these dreadful creatures come from?"
Marcus's brow furrowed deeply, emanating a chilling aura of killing intent, resembling an enraged Raging Bear.
"I need to rest for a bit; today has worn me out," Xiar said, unable to tell him that even if he did inform him, there would be no way to defend against it.
Those monsters were at their weakest equivalent to School-Level Human Warriors, and some were powerful enough to take down novice Spirit Masters like him.
This was just the beginning; countless monsters would soon emerge, leaving the land desolate and claiming innumerable lives under their attacks.
Now, there was only a little over half a year until such a catastrophic disaster could occur. By then, that organization would ignite a full-scale war.
In reality, they did not desire war; they were merely seeking self-preservation under the pressure from the Two Great Empires and the Atlantis City-States Alliance.
Both of these great powers were vying to seize their hard-won victories, forcing them to initiate a world war.
If given another six months, they would possess countless Ultimate Forms and Half Totems, allowing them to dominate the world, unmatched!
In the unfolding narrative, had it not been for those who forcibly intervened, they might have truly created a "God"!
Xiar pondered this and felt a flicker of curiosity about what exactly this so-called God was like...
After a bath that evening, the study was illuminated by soft light.
The maid, Eve, brought over a plate of pastries and medicinal dishes specially prepared by Baron for Niu Kelian to help him regain his strength, preventing him from exhausting himself through excessive study.
The girl curiously observed him, sensing something strange about his transformation. Earlier, he had looked at her like a hungry wolf; now he seemed utterly disinterested, as if he had discovered something far more entertaining in his studies.
However, he appeared to be getting more handsome!
"Just put it down and leave. You don't need to serve me tonight," Xiar said with a smile as he glanced at the girl who stood frozen beside him.
"Okay, I'll leave right away." Under the gaze of those deep-set eyes, the girl felt a jolt of surprise and jumped up like a startled rabbit, fleeing the study as if her life depended on it.
If things could remain this calm, I would be quite interested in living as a noble scion, teasing the maid now and then would certainly be one of life's great pleasures.
Unfortunately, in three months, the Barbarians would launch a massive invasion, and Shining Gold Town would cease to exist. Even if we relocated, we would soon face even more terrifying disasters.
In such chaotic times, there was no room for indulgence; otherwise, one might lose their life without even realizing it.
Without strength, all of this is ultimately a castle in the air, liable to collapse at any moment.
Xiar shook his head and continued to flip through the black-covered book in his hands.
This book was passed to him by Marcus on behalf of Niu Kelian. To Marcus, it seemed like an ordinary compendium of herbs, but after Xiar applied his Analysis Rune, it instantly transformed into a thick notebook.
It contained fundamental knowledge about Spirit Masters, including precious detailed explanations of basic totems, listing over a hundred types of creatures' Evolution forms, along with simple cultivation methods.
Such a thing would have cost at least three thousand gold coins at the previous market, and it was far less detailed than what was presented here.
"Uncle Niu, I owe you another favor. Good luck!" Xiar understood the future plot and knew that the other party would only face minor dangers.
In fact, in the end, the other party would leverage various opportunities to successfully Super Evolve their Main Totem, becoming one of the world's top super strong beings.
However, the future held countless possibilities; even the so-called protagonist Simon could have his opportunities snatched away by him. It was not impossible for unforeseen events to befall him.
"Xiar, this is some foundational knowledge I have on totem cultivation. Aside from the core knowledge related to our family, everything else is included here. Don't worry about Rice Cake; letting her accompany you to Storm Harbor is just to evade enemies..."
The first page of the notes revealed a familiar mental wave, and a line of information flowed directly into his mind—it was the Spirit Technique used for recording information.
He sighed in relief and continued flipping through the pages until a massive black bull appeared before him...
