Chapter 26: Wandering

Sage felt like he spent hours examining the the Seed of Life inside his spiritual sea before he attempted to return his perception to the physical world. Luckily, he merely had to focus his attention and his senses slipped out of the spiritual sea. With a relieved look around he took a deep breath and tried to check his spiritual sea again. After a few attempts he realized that merely slipping into a meditative state sent his senses into his spiritual sea. So, this definitely would have happened eventually anyway that seed gave me quite a boost.

Not sure what exactly the Seed of Life could do besides increasing his spirit power, Sage also had no idea to even take it back out of his body. Checking the small cavern over to make sure nothing else was left Sage called back the bees in the room and returned to the surface. Riding back to the surface in the Silverbee Queen he made another sweep of the area for treasures and picked up a few low ranked plants, adding them to the collection in his ring. Experimenting with the properties of the storage ring, Sage found out that he could move things into the empty air and they would simply float in place, letting him use the full area of the ring instead of just floor space. Is it a lack of gravity or has time stopped?

Years passed.

Sage lived the life of a wanderer. Traveling every day and training every night. Even as he reached the area that he considered safe from the Fu Clan he had no reason to stop. He took more than a few escort jobs protecting caravans and ran into more than a few life threatening situations along the way. He made a few acquaintances, but no friends. Since he didnt want to even slow down until he was at least three provinces away it made it hard to connect with anyone. Even worse, he started to form trust issues.

For some reason Sage stuck stubbornly to that first decision of his escape. He wouldnt stop until he found somewhere interesting that made him stick around. In the meantime, he continued to travel. Wandering the world and passing through another couple Kingdoms. In time, he even forgot how far away his hometown was. Hed become a professional caravan guard, joining different protection companies with every Kingdom he entered. The Four Major Businesses of the Dou Kingdom seemed to have similar counterparts in other Kingdoms and Sage had joined up with two other groups that were the equivalent of the Black Dog Company.

Hed also traded for many different martial techniques, qi techniques, and even a couple qi cultivation arts. Sage had tried out several of them and hoped that if he could find just the right technique he would improve rapidly, but was distraught to find he showed no talent with those either. He tried a few other weapons and trained matching skills, again the same result.

Is this all I will ever be? I have to make a change.

Discouraged at the lack of progress, Sage broke up his harsh travel with focused training. After finishing a job hed stay in a town for a few months and do nothing but cultivate before taking a job and traveling to a new town. He never went to the same town twice, making sure to always take a job that would let him see somewhere new. Would he ever find the place that could stir his heart and urge him to put down roots?
