Chapter 10: Chapter 9 Comprehending Magic ElementsAfter coming down from Thousand Beast Tomb Mountain, Yun Sheng returned home. After the Solar Eclipse, the sun seemed more splendid than usual. The villagers who had hidden in their homes began to step outside, and the village gradually returned to its former tranquility. Yun Canghai was not at home; 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 come into contact with. Yun Sheng didn't pay much attention to it. She pulled out a thick Medical Book hidden in a wooden chest under the bed at home, trying to find information about Moonlight Grass. The medical book preserved by the Yun Family was much larger than the average one, thick yet not heavy, exuding an ancient charm. The Medical 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 Medical 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 medicine. It seemed that this book on medicine was left by her late mother. S~eaʀᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. For reasons unknown, Yun Canghai seldom spoke of his deceased wife, and this Medical Book had long been covered in dust. The medical system of the Wuji Continent is very complex, encompassing Ancient Medical 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 members of the Royal Nobles, some youths from sects, and a few exceptionally talented geniuses get the opportunity to learn it. Yun Sheng, unable to sense Magic Elements and merely a commoner, had no way of accessing Magic Healing. Fortunately, with her excellent medical knowledge from her previous life, she could not learn Magic Healing but could study Ancient Medical Skill. Ancient Medical Skill is divided into two types: one is Basic Herbal Medicine and the other one is Alchemy Technique. The Yun Family's Medical Book is a record of a large number of basic Medicinal Herbs. This Medical Book, named Ten Thousand Herbs Outline, is very much like traditional Eastern herbal medical books, mainly introducing various common and rare Medicinal Herbs and also depicting the names, characteristics, medicinal effects, and appearances of these herbs. She began to dabble in Basic Herbal Medicine 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 Medicinal 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 Meditation as taught by the Banana Leaf Temple. Meditation is the most common method used by Mainland Mages to accumulate Magic Elements. Ever since she attended her first Magic Enlightenment at the age of three, she learned the way of meditation 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 meditation state. However, Yun Sheng was the exception. She had only attended Magic Enlightenment once and had already mastered the art of meditation. Her ability to enter Meditation was several times 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 seemed to be immersed in complete darkness. Yun Sheng meditated while recalling the concept of magic as explained by the village chief Grandpa. Among the lands of the continent, there exist four Natural Elements: Wind, Earth, Water, and Fire, corresponding to the four colors green, yellow, blue, red of Elemental Powers. Each person, depending on their meditation state and affinity to the elements, will perceive different Natural Elements. Generally speaking, the perception of Magic Elements is related to one's character. For example, people with fiery tempers have the strongest ability to capture the red Fire Element. Flexible and resilient personalities have a unique advantage in perceiving the blue Water Element. Those who are fickle and sensitive can sharply sense the green Wind Element. Honest and simple-hearted individuals are naturally favored by the earth Element. However, the power of perception is not absolutely related to personality. In some cases, there are exceptions, such as the village chief grandfather, who could perceive both the Wind and Water Elements. 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 seemed to be countless points of light. Gleaming, like stars, those points became more and more numerous, gradually filling Yun Sheng's entire meditation space. Red, like fiery clouds, the red color danced within Yun Sheng's meditation space. The village chief grandfather once mentioned that the more Elemental Power there is, the higher the Magic Talent. The vast change from total darkness to a multitude of Fire Elements made the ordinarily calm Yun Sheng ecstatic beyond measure. Among the four major Natural Elements, the Fire Element is the most intense and also has the highest offensive power. Yun Sheng always remembered the sea of flames 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 Element. After the elation, Yun Sheng continued with her next step in meditation. Perceiving the Magic Elements is only the first step, which means that Yun Sheng has just become a Magic Apprentice. Mere perception of Magic Elements is insufficient for using magic; one must gather the perceived Fire Element into a Magic Flame Seed and store it within the body. Once one can accumulate one color of Magic Elements 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 meditation, she guided the red Magic Element, continuously compressing and gathering it. Just as Yun Sheng successfully drew in a large amount of the Magic Fire Element, the red Fire Element suddenly vanished, as though an invisible hand had swept away all the Magic Elements in one stroke. Yun Sheng's head felt as if struck by a heavy hammer, 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 meditation. She failed! The crucial step from a Magic Apprentice to a Mage, where one accumulates Magic Elements after perceiving them, she had failed. Yun Sheng did not understand where she went wrong. Why couldn't the Magic Elements be accumulated within her body? The side effects of a meditation disruption are terrifying, meaning that she won't be able to meditate again for the next day. She did not notice that just moments 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 meditation several more times. Each meditation session revealed more and more of the Fire Element to her, but without fail, at the final moment, the Magic Elements would all disappear. Several days went by in a flash, and Yun Sheng was still unable to accumulate Magic Elements, however, the selection day for the Medicine Gathering Boy at the Banana Leaf Temple was drawing near.
