Yun Sheng’s breakthrough this time lasted an entire night. Around dawn, as dew drops fell from the tips of leaves, moistening Yun Sheng’s cheeks, she slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. In just one night, Yun Sheng seemed to have grown several years older, her appearance changed. Originally only seven years old, she now looked like a twelve-year-old girl. The slight baby fat on her face had thinned out, transforming into a delicate and lovely melon seed face, and her stature had increased by nearly ten centimeters, shortening the length of her dress significantly. It seemed that with this advancement, Yun Sheng gained not only a breakthrough in her Magic Cultivation but also a substantial change in her physique. The reason was that although Yun Sheng was not a Martial Artist, the Cultivation Technique she practiced was the very mystical Marrow Jade Technique, a Taoist Skill that values progressive advancement. Yun Sheng had a foundation in the Marrow Jade Technique in her previous life; a foundation that was already solid. With a breakthrough every three years, she began cultivating at three years old, and after six years, by the age of seven, she had already broken through the second layer of the Marrow Jade Technique. This time, she successfully broke through by seizing the opportunity to contract the Centipede Ant General. After more breathing and regulating her energy, Yun Sheng’s mind stirred slightly, and the Mysterious Bone Magic Wand immediately shot out a dazzling large Fireball. The Fireball exploded on a nearby large tree, instantly setting the tree ablaze. Yun Sheng then continuously used several spells, and she found that after advancing to a Great Magic Director, the Magic Elements in her body were more abundant, and her incantations became smoother. In her role as a Summoner, Yun Sheng also smoothly progressed from a War Beast Summoner to a Scepter Summoner. Even more delightful was that, after contracting the Centipede Ant General, Yun Sheng acquired a Commander-level Summoned Beast and received the memory about the Centipede Ant General in her mind. With a thought from Yun Sheng, a brand new Magic Space appeared before her eyes, and the previously arrogant and fierce Centipede Ant General had now become docile and well-behaved, crawling within the Magic Space. Centipede Ant General, a Commander-level venomous Demon Beast, capable of leading both Beast Ants and Flying Ants, its ejected venom can corrode both Magic and fighting spirit. Owning a Commander-level Demon Beast, especially one that could summon hundreds or even thousands of Beast Ants and Flying Ants, was akin to having her own army of Demon Beasts. Upon learning the advantages of the Centipede Ant General, Yun Sheng was overjoyed. She attempted to control the Centipede Ant General to summon Beast Ants and Flying Ants, and sure enough, she succeeded as she wished. Not only that, but Yun Sheng also tried to control these Beast Ants and Flying Ants and found that these ant soldiers would obey not only the Ant General’s commands but also her own. When both Yun Sheng and the Ant General gave orders, the ant soldiers would prioritize Yun Sheng’s commands. "Haha, this Beast Tide has really made me a good profit," Yun Sheng was delighted, and while reveling in her joy, she heard a series of urgent calls. Judging by the voice, it was Divine Wind. Yun Sheng recalled the White-footed Ant General back into the Magic Space. In just a short while, Divine Wind, gliding on the wind, arrived promptly with Little Black. After leaving Daoye Mountain Guard City, out of concern that he wouldn’t be able to find Yun Sheng, Divine Wind smartly brought Little Black along. Little Black, also anxious about its master, led Divine Wind by scent to search for Yun Sheng. The man and dog searched all night long, and along the way, they saw traces of devastation caused by Ant Beasts. Just as Divine Wind was about to despair, Little Black let out a series of excited barks, and finally, they found Yun Sheng. "Little loli! I’m so glad you’re okay!" Divine Wind, upon seeing Yun Sheng, was overwhelmed with excitement and pulled her into his embrace. Once he hugged her, he realized that the usually soft and milky-scented little loli felt completely different to the touch. He had been too thrilled and happy to take a close look at Yun Sheng earlier, but now, as he lowered his head for a careful examination, he noticed that the little loli in his arms had completely changed appearance just after a day and night. Her features had transformed from cute to charming, her figure slender as a young girl’s, and looking at her Magic Robe, which had become much smaller, leaving her quite exposed, Divine Wind was even more astonished to sense that the Magic Wave emanating from Yun Sheng had grown much stronger. If he wasn’t mistaken, Yun Sheng had become a Great Magic Director. "Awoo--" Little Black voiced its dissatisfaction from the side. Sensing Yun Sheng’s resistance, Divine Wind sheepishly let go and, rarely for him, a blush crept onto his face. He took out a Mage Robe from his Storage Ring and offered it to Yun Sheng. Xianju Country, being the realm of Elves, excels in weaving, brewing, and forging, and this set of Mage Robe was also exquisitely made. Once Yun Sheng changed into it, she was completely transformed, her cheeks blooming like peach blossoms, as light and graceful as the wind, causing Divine Wind to not want to blink even for a second. "Little loli," Divine Wind still called her that way, one after another, while stroking his chin: "In this look of yours, you really appear like someone from Xianju Country. Why don’t you just come back to Xianju with me?" "I’m a person from Great Zhou, what would I do in Xianju Country?" Yun Sheng shrugged. She had been missing for a day and night; Huangteng and the three in Daoye Mountain Guard City and Yaoyao must be worried sick. It would be best for her to hurry back to the city. "I suspect that your Magic Wand is a Holy Relic left behind in the Human Clan by the Elf Clan. If you agree to come with me to Xianju Country, I can gift you a two-hundred-year-old Demon Beast Soul Stone," Divine Wind indicated towards Yun Sheng’s Magic Wand. "You mean this Mysterious Bone Wand? No, I bought this wand from Lady Suoluo’s shop; it’s not some Holy Relic of the Elf Clan, and I don’t want to go back to Xianju Country with you," Yun Sheng stuck out her tongue, even though her heart had raced at the mention of a two-hundred-year-old Demon Beast Soul Stone. After advancing to a Great Magic Director, it was indeed time for her to possess a Demon Beast Soul Stone, it was just a pity that there were no suitable places with Demon Beasts nearby. Seeing Yun Sheng’s refusal, Divine Wind couldn’t help feeling melancholic; inviting Yun Sheng to return was also a selfish desire of his. Xianju had already sent a message for him to return urgently, and he was reluctant to part with Yun Sheng. "Well then, I’ll go back and investigate it thoroughly, and then I’ll come to find you. Here is a Demon Beast Soul Stone for you as a gift," Divine Wind soon replaced his disappointment with a bright smile; his moods are indeed like the wind, constantly changing. Divine Wind took out a beautifully made crystal box, inside which lay a purple-green soul stone. Once a soul stone is separated from a Demon Beast’s body and not immediately absorbed, it must be sealed in a specially made Magic Crystal Box to preserve the Magic Elements within it to the greatest extent. Purple and green, in the magic elements, symbolize thunder and wind respectively; this is a two-hundred-year-old Wind Thunder Demon Soul Stone. "This soul stone was a gift from my Empress Dowager, but after receiving the inheritance of the Wind Elf, I no longer need it. Your Magic Wand is also blessed by the Wind Elf, making this soul stone the most perfect gift for you. With it, when you cast magic in the future, there won’t be a need for incantations, allowing for instant casting of spells. Come, let me help you integrate it," Divine Wind had Yun Sheng sit down as he assisted her in merging with the Magic Soul Stone.
