Chapter 2 A Mouthful of Incense
Orna Town is about half a day's walk from the village where Lin Xuan lives, and there are many people on the road, so it is not lonely along the way. Uncle John also told himself about the general process of the awakening ceremony.
In fact, it is very simple, every city above the town level will have a branch hall of the Battle Spirit Palace, although it is not very large, but it is indeed inviolable. The power of the War Spirit Hall is absolutely unshakable on the mainland. Even if the strength of the empire is in front of the War Spirit Palace, it is just a drizzle.
"Lin Xuan, if you are lucky enough to become a soul master, you must remember that if your strength is not good in the future, you can directly enter the Battle Soul Palace. If you don't want to be restrained, just go back to the village and live a dull life with Uncle John and your aunt. Don't clash with the Battle Spirit Palace!"
Hearing Uncle John's inexplicable advice, Lin Xuan didn't pay much attention to it. The forces of the Battle Spirit Hall were still too far away from him, and Lin Xuan, who didn't have any great ambitions himself, naturally didn't think much about it.
At noon, Lin Xuan and the others finally came to the edge of the woods, and when Orna City appeared in front of Lin Xuan's eyes, Lin Xuan suddenly sighed.
"It's magnificent!"
"Grandeur, little one, when you grow up and go to a bigger city, you will know that this small town of Orna is nothing at all, hehe!" said Uncle John.
Lin Xuan stuck out his tongue and did not continue to speak, but carefully observed Orna City not far away. Although in Lin Feng's memory, he still had an impression of this place, but when the city wall more than ten meters high stood in front of him, his heart was full of excitement. Listening to Uncle John's words, Lin Xuan understood that this kind of city was nothing compared to big cities. At this time, Lin Xuan also had the feeling of wanting to travel for the first time. At the same time, I am looking forward to my martial soul even more.
"Lin Xuan, what do you want?" Seeing Lin Xuan stunned, Uncle John asked directly.
"Hehe, it's okay, Uncle John, when I get really strong, I will definitely repay you and my aunt!" Lin Xuan said seriously.
"What are you doing when you kid suddenly said this, let's go, let's go into the city!" Although Uncle John said this, the smile on his face let Lin Xuan know that he was very happy now, and Lin Xuan's words obviously made him like it.
"En!" Lin Xuan nodded, followed Uncle John, and walked towards Orna Town.

After entering the town, Uncle John grabbed Lin Xuan and asked, "Lin Xuan, it's hard to enter the city once, let's go to the tavern to drink some wine, it's good that your aunt didn't come!"
"Uncle John, aren't you afraid that I will go back and sue you?"
"Will you?" asked Uncle John with a smile.
"No, hey, hey, hey~~" The two laughed darkly.
"I know there's a tavern where the wine is the best!
After Uncle John finished speaking, he walked towards the town, while Lin Xuan followed behind John, looking excitedly at the shops on both sides. The streets here are similar to the ancient cities on earth. Some small vendors set up stalls shouted on both sides of the road.
Two minutes later, Uncle John stopped. Lin Xuan also stood firm, looked up, and found that it was a tavern with a signboard that said 'A Mouthful of Incense'.
"This is it!" Uncle John said, walking straight into the store.
Lin Xuan followed John curiously and entered the store, only to see Uncle John walking directly towards the counter, coming to the counter, and talking excitedly to the middle-aged man in the counter.
Lin Xuan slowly approached, and when he arrived at the counter, he heard the conversation between the two.
"Why did you kid run to the city and not stay at home with your wife?
"Bring a child to Martial Spirit Awakening today, Nana stayed at home, just come to your place for a few drinks!" Uncle John said excitedly.
"Martial Soul Awakening? You and Nana both have children? No, although you two have been together for more than ten years, you have never seen Nana have a big belly? Why did such a big child suddenly pop up!" The boss looked at Lin Xuan and asked curiously. But after just a few glances, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "No, why does this child look so familiar?" Speaking of this, the boss thought about it carefully, and suddenly said: "Isn't this a little beggar in the city?"
"Now it's my godson, hehe, since you knew each other before, why don't you tell me, this little guy almost starved to death, I really don't know where your heart has gone!" Uncle John said angrily.
"John, don't really say it, if it weren't for you and Nana, how would I be here?
Hearing what the boss said, John suddenly stabilized his mood helplessly, and said directly: "Bring me wine, I don't like to talk nonsense with you, hum!" After John finished speaking, he walked directly to a table in the corner with Lin Xuan.
After sitting down, Lin Xuan asked curiously, "Uncle John, you are very familiar with the boss!"
"Well, a former friend, you kid remember, don't tell your aunt when you get home!" John reminded.
Lin Xuan nodded and didn't speak, because Xiao Er had already sent two jars of wine. The boss also followed Xiao Er, came to the edge of the table, and sat down.
"Angry?" the boss asked John.
"No, I'm too lazy to be angry with you, hey, after so many years, I think your tavern is running a good business, and you've made a lot of money!" Uncle John said directly.
"I've made some money, but it's not as quiet as you and Nana, seriously, are you really going to stay in this village all the time in the future......?
"Alright!" John interrupted the boss and continued, "Pierce, get out of the way, be careful what you say, I'm just John now, don't talk about the past, if I really want to open that day, I'll be the first to tell you." β
The two chatted, and Lin Xuan on the side thought seriously, hearing the words of the tavern owner Pierce, Uncle John was obviously not what he was in front of him, at this time, he also remembered that when they were doing farm work together, Uncle John was the most capable in the whole village, but he didn't find that Uncle John was tired, which obviously showed that Uncle John's physique was much stronger than ordinary people. To sum up, Uncle John definitely has a history and is very likely to be a soul master. Although Lin Xuan thought about it so much, he didn't speak, and when he came back to his senses, John and the boss had already drunk.
"Pierce, it's a shame that you haven't made progress after so many years!"
"You and I are you pervert, you can make progress in farming!" Pierce said disdainfully.
"Haha......" the two laughed. Pierce ordered a few snacks for Lin Xuan, and Lin Xuan ate very happily. John and Pierce were also happily drinking and chatting.
Noon.
"Pierce, it's almost, the awakening ceremony is about to begin, I have to take Lin Xuan to awaken, I hope this child can become a talent!" Uncle John stood up, patted the dust on his body, and said to Pierce.
"Come here, young man!" Pierce shouted at Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan nodded, walked directly to Pierce's side, and looked at Pierce suspiciously, not knowing what this unknown tavern owner told him to do.
"Hello!" Lin Xuan greeted.
"It's really a talent, hehe, people are really testing clothes!"
"It's all taken care of by Uncle John, otherwise, I would have starved to death!" Lin Xuan whispered.
"Listen to this guy John call you Lin Xuan, I'll also call you Lin Xuan, come to the city in the future, come to me for dinner, I'll treat you." Don't treat me as an outsider, I have John, and your aunt, it's all together. β
"Uncle Pierce, then I'll say thank you first!"
"Haha, you're really good!Okay, come on, work hard to become a soul master, then you will be more powerful, and you will have the money to honor your uncle and aunt!" Pierce said with a smile.
"I will definitely become a soul master, and I will also become a powerful soul master!" Lin Xuan said seriously.
Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Pierce was stunned for a moment, then looked at Uncle John, who had already walked to the door, and muttered, "Is it really good to be strong?"
"Uncle Pierce, what did you say?"
"No, no, nothing, okay, you go, remember to help me bring one to your aunt!"
"That's not going to work, Uncle John won't let me tell my aunt he's out drinking!" With that, he left Pierce and ran towards John at the door.
"You kid!"
