Chapter 10: Chapter 9 Comprehending Magic Elents
After coming down from Thousand Beast Tomb Mountain, Yun Sheng returned ho.
After the Solar Eclipse, the sun seed more splendid than usual. The villagers who had hidden in their hos began to step outside, and the village gradually returned to its forr tranquility.
Yun Canghai was not at ho; he must be in the tavern at the head of the village again.
Yun Shengge changed out of her clothes, which had been torn by tree branches; the small cuts on her hands had already healed.
The Beast Language Ring on her finger remained, but the color had changed to a dark red due to the blood it had co into contact with.
Yun Sheng didn't pay much attention to it. She pulled out a thick dical Book hidden in a wooden chest under the bed at ho, trying to find information about Moonlight Grass.
The dical book preserved by the Yun Family was much larger than the average one, thick yet not heavy, exuding an ancient charm. The dical Book contained nearly a thousand pages, and it was unknown what materials were used to make it, but it was well preserved.
Yun Sheng was certain that even the dical Book in Banana Leaf Village's Magic Temple couldn't compare to this one from her own family.
As far as Yun Sheng knew, Yun Canghai was not familiar with dicine. It seed that this book on dicine was left by her late mother.
For reasons unknown, Yun Canghai seldom spoke of his deceased wife, and this dical Book had long been covered in dust.
The dical system of the Wuji Continent is very complex, encompassing Ancient dical Skill and Magic Healing as two major categories.
Magic Healing, related to magic, is rumored to be practiced only by those Great Magic Directors in town-level or higher Magic Temples, known as Holy Magic. Only mbers of the Royal Nobles, so youths from sects, and a few exceptionally talented geniuses get the opportunity to learn it.
Yun Sheng, unable to sense Magic Elents and rely a commoner, had no way of accessing Magic Healing.
Fortunately, with her excellent dical knowledge from her previous life, she could not learn Magic Healing but could study Ancient dical Skill.
Ancient dical Skill is divided into two types: one is Basic Herbal dicine and the other one is Alchemy Technique. The Yun Family's dical Book is a record of a large number of basic dicinal Herbs.
This dical Book, nad Ten Thousand Herbs Outline, is very much like traditional Eastern herbal dical books, mainly introducing various common and rare dicinal Herbs and also depicting the nas, characteristics, dicinal effects, and appearances of these herbs.
She began to dabble in Basic Herbal dicine after becoming familiar with the script of the Wuji Continent at the age of two or three years old.
After flipping through a dozen pages, she found the record about Moonlight Grass.
"Moonlight Grass, non-toxic, with a spicy taste, appears no different from common wild grass, and is a type of dicinal Herb that aids in Magic Cultivation. It grows in places that are damp and filled with heavy yin energy. Its leaves can be eaten raw or dried to make Moonlight Grass tea for equally good effects," Yun Sheng read, and took out a few sprigs of Moonlight Grass she had picked.
In the sunlight, the Moonlight Grass appeared translucent. Yun Sheng ate a leaf and felt as if she had ingested a mouthful of chili water; it was very spicy.
She sat down cross-legged and started to perform the Magic ditation as taught by the Banana Leaf Temple.
ditation is the most common thod used by Mainland Mages to accumulate Magic Elents.
Ever since she attended her first Magic Enlightennt at the age of three, she learned the way of ditation just like the other children in Banana Leaf Village.
For most children, due to their inherent restlessness, they would need the aid of a Magic Crystal to concentrate their spiritual power and enter a ditation state.
However, Yun Sheng was the exception. She had only attended Magic Enlightennt once and had already mastered the art of ditation.
Her ability to enter ditation was several tis quicker than that of ordinary people, and she did not require the use of a Magic Crystal to do so.
The specific reason, Yun Sheng attributed to her past life as a doctor, where she constantly needed to maintain a high level of concentration.
In the small grass hut of the Yun Family, Yun Sheng sat alone on the bed. The bright sunlight outside the window, along with the chirping of birds, all disappeared.
She seed to be imrsed in complete darkness.
Yun Sheng ditated while recalling the concept of magic as explained by the village chief Grandpa.
Among the lands of the continent, there exist four Natural Elents: Wind, Earth, Water, and Fire, corresponding to the four colors green, yellow, blue, red of Elental Powers.
Each person, depending on their ditation state and affinity to the elents, will perceive different Natural Elents.
Generally speaking, the perception of Magic Elents is related to one's character.
For example, people with fiery tempers have the strongest ability to capture the red Fire Elent.
Flexible and resilient personalities have a unique advantage in perceiving the blue Water Elent.
Those who are fickle and sensitive can sharply sense the green Wind Elent.
Honest and simple-hearted individuals are naturally favored by the earth Elent.
However, the power of perception is not absolutely related to personality. In so cases, there are exceptions, such as the village chief grandfather, who could perceive both the Wind and Water Elents.
Over the past three years, Yun Sheng only saw darkness, but today, after eating the Moonlight Grass, she noticed a change in that darkness.
Vaguely, within the darkness, there seed to be countless points of light.
Gleaming, like stars, those points beca more and more nurous, gradually filling Yun Sheng's entire ditation space.
Red, like fiery clouds, the red color danced within Yun Sheng's ditation space.
The village chief grandfather once ntioned that the more Elental Power there is, the higher the Magic Talent.
The vast change from total darkness to a multitude of Fire Elents made the ordinarily calm Yun Sheng ecstatic beyond asure.
Among the four major Natural Elents, the Fire Elent is the most intense and also has the highest offensive power.
Yun Sheng always rembered the sea of flas her father Yun Canghai released when she first arrived on the Wuji Continent.
Perhaps it was because of her father that she inherited a Magic Physique compatible with the Fire Elent.
After the elation, Yun Sheng continued with her next step in ditation.
Perceiving the Magic Elents is only the first step, which ans that Yun Sheng has just beco a Magic Apprentice.
re perception of Magic Elents is insufficient for using magic; one must gather the perceived Fire Elent into a Magic Fla Seed and store it within the body.
Once one can accumulate one color of Magic Elents within the body, one can advance from a Magic Apprentice to a Magician, and begin learning the most basic magic.
Cautiously using the power of ditation, she guided the red Magic Elent, continuously compressing and gathering it.
Just as Yun Sheng successfully drew in a large amount of the Magic Fire Elent, the red Fire Elent suddenly vanished, as though an invisible hand had swept away all the Magic Elents in one stroke.
Yun Sheng's head felt as if struck by a heavy hamr, her consciousness shattered like glass in an instant, her small body violently shook, her face turned deathly pale, and she opened her eyes, her gaze filled with frustration and pain.
A disruption in ditation.
She failed!
The crucial step from a Magic Apprentice to a Mage, where one accumulates Magic Elents after perceiving them, she had failed.
Yun Sheng did not understand where she went wrong.
Why couldn't the Magic Elents be accumulated within her body?
The side effects of a ditation disruption are terrifying, aning that she won't be able to ditate again for the next day.
She did not notice that just monts ago, the Beast Language Ring on her hand flashed red, and then it returned to its original color.
With a heavy heart, after swallowing another stalk of Moonlight Grass, Yun Sheng cleaned and dried the leftover grass.
In the following days, while Yun Canghai was away, Yun Sheng attempted ditation several more tis.
Each ditation session revealed more and more of the Fire Elent to her, but without fail, at the final mont, the Magic Elents would all disappear.
Several days went by in a flash, and Yun Sheng was still unable to accumulate Magic Elents, however, the selection day for the dicine Gathering Boy at the Banana Leaf Temple was drawing near.
