Chi Mei, is a type of Demon Beast unique to Xianju Country. Its appearance is very similar to that of an Elf, and it is difficult to capture. Only powerful mages from the royal family of Xianju Country have the opportunity to hunt Chi Mei and obtain Charming Soul Stones. A most common fifty-year-old Charming Soul Stone can be sold for ten thousand Gold Coins in the Magic World; the two-hundred-year-old Charming Soul Stone that Divine Wind seemed to give away casually is worth at least a million. Yun Sheng, of course, did not know this. With the help of Divine Wind, she fused the Charming Soul Stone that possessed both wind and thunder attributes. A morning passed, and Yun Sheng’s Magic Wand was adorned with a new soul stone of interlaced purple and green. "Try your Magic Wand," Divine Wind, with a trace of fatigue on his handsome face, looked tenderly at Yun Sheng. After meeting Yun Sheng, this capricious Divine Wind King became a gentle breeze of spring. With a mere thought from Yun Sheng, the Magic Wand began to spin on its own. Immediately, several fireballs of fierce power sprayed out effortlessly, and what was even more astonishing was that within the fireballs, there were also several snake-like purple thunders. "Your Magic Talent is very good. Just now with my help, the soul stone’s magic compatibility reached eighty-five percent. Now, your Magic Attack carries a partial Thunder attribute’s paralyzing effect. In combat, this paralyzing effect can last for more than 15 minutes," Divine Wind nodded. Yun Sheng, blessed by the Wind Elf, had a perfect fusion with the Charming Soul Stone. Yun Sheng, along with Divine Wind and Little Black, returned to Daoye Mountain Guard City. After Divine Wind dropped Yun Sheng off at the inn, he went to meet up with Ba Hun’s group. He was due to return to Xianju Country today, but before leaving, he did not forget to ask for Yun Sheng’s address in Great Zhou City. Yun Sheng thought about it and told him she lived in a place called Wuxuan Wuji Hall. Divine Wind really rarely roamed the continent and had not even heard of the well-known Wuxuan Wuji Hall. He happily said he would definitely go to find Yun Sheng again, then ran off in a swift smoke. Yun Sheng found it hard to imagine: Divine Wind, in his mage attire, if truly appearing outside the Martial Arts Hall, she wondered whether those over-enthusiastic Martial Artists in the hall would regard him as someone there to cause trouble. Huangteng and the other two were relieved to see Yun Sheng safe and sound, but they also marveled at how she advanced to become a Great Magic Director overnight. Seeing Yun Sheng pull out her Magic Wand, now with an additional soul stone, Mu Nanyan couldn’t help but exclaim aloud. "Tomboy, lower your voice. Don’t tell me these past few days haven’t been traumatic enough for Eldest Young Master Yun!" Wenren Xu, discontented, having experienced both the Beast Tide and breakthroughs, his "fragile" nerves indeed could not take much more. He just wanted to return to Yujing City immediately, grab a few jars of fine liquor, drink to oblivion, and then find some beautiful women to relax with. "That’s a Charming Soul Stone, girl Yun Sheng, your second Demon Beast Soul Stone is a two-hundred-year-old one! That thing, just one piece, is worth at least a million Gold Coins!" The Huangteng Team, all from affluent families, couldn’t believe that such a treasure worth a million could be so casually embedded into the Magic Wand of a child, the effect was undoubtedly astonishing. A million Gold Coins, it was only then that Yun Sheng learned how precious the soul stone Divine Wind had given her was. Yun Sheng was not pleased to have received such a great favor from someone without cause, she thought she would concoct a few bottles of Moon God’s Praise for Divine Wind next time. Moon God’s Praise has a purification effect, which is even more effective for the Elf Clan. The affair of the Beast Tide finally came to an end. Before leaving, Yun Sheng met with Lin Yao’er again; Father Lin’s rheumatic leg had completely healed. As for the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, with the effective improvement of the plasters from Cien Hall, they quickly became sought after by the ladies of the city. Yun Sheng also promised Lin Yao’er to deliver a batch of her concocted medicines to Cien Hall every ten days, and Cien Hall would handle the sales. With Yun Sheng’s help, the previously declining situation of Cien Hall had greatly reversed, and the Pharmacist named Qi could no longer do anything to Little Ci’en Hall. While Yun Sheng was busy with trivial matters, the old year imperceptibly drew to a close, and a new year arrived. Thousands of miles away from Daoye Mountain Guard City, inside Yujing City, the atmosphere of the New Year had enveloped everything, with every household lighting lanterns and setting up decorations. Inside the Martial Saint General Mansion, it was no exception. With only three days from the New Year, the sky was covered with snow like goose feathers, and the ground was laid with a thick layer of snow. "Tatatata--" Early in the morning, the icicles hanging from the eaves dropped all at once, shaken off by the galloping horse hooves, turning into fragments of ice. A soldier gasping for air, with an anxious look on his face, dismounted from his horse, stumbling and rolling up to the front gate of the General Mansion: "Report---there’s an urgent military report from the Southern Border defenses, quickly inform the Old General." Upon hearing this, the guards hurried into the mansion to report to the Old General. But when they reached the Old General’s door and called out for a long time, there was no response. After searching the entire General Mansion, including the training grounds, they still couldn’t find any trace of the Martial Saint General, Yun Bahe. Uncle Yun, the old steward, upon receiving the news, pondered for a moment, then had the border guard invited into the mansion, while he himself rushed alone to a nondescript courtyard within the General Mansion. Uncle Yun’s original surname was Chen, but having served General Yun for his entire life, he was later granted the Yun surname by the General. In the General Mansion, even the Yun siblings held great respect for Uncle Yun. This was because Uncle Yun had been General Yun’s playmate since childhood, from a study companion to a sparring partner, no one understood General Yun’s true nature better than Uncle Yun. This year was the second day of the Lunar New Year, and every year at this time, the General would be in that particular place. The courtyard was desolate, with the winter trees long buried under heavy snow. This courtyard was the place where Yun Canghai, the eldest son of the Yun Family, used to live. Ten years ago, after the Old General had expelled Eldest Young Master Yun from the house, the courtyard had been deserted. However, Uncle Yun had always ordered the servants to clean the courtyard over the years, maintaining every scene and object in the rooms exactly as they had been. Upon entering the courtyard, Uncle Yun indeed saw the nearly seventy-year-old Martial Saint General Yun Bahe standing like a statue in the courtyard. His white hair and beard were already covered by a thin layer of snow, making them appear indistinctly white, and his ankles were buried in snow, making it unclear how long he had been standing there. Uncle Yun sighed silently in his heart. Twelve years had passed since the Eldest Young Master had left, and the Old General had visited the courtyard ten times, each time standing for most of the day. The bitterness of this, only he, the loyal servant, understood. Despite the Eldest Young Master’s absence over the years and the Old General’s apparent indifference, in reality, he was deeply concerned, hoping that one day the stubborn father and son would reconcile and the Yun Residence would reunite once more. "Master, there is an urgent military report from the Hunting Soldier Guard City at the border," Uncle Yun briefly recounted the situation. "What?" Hearing the news, the Old General, who was previously still as a statue, suddenly had a flash of sharpness in his eyes. "You’re saying there’s been a Beast Tide of level ten thousand in the vicinity of Daoye Mountain Guard City?" There had been no Beast Tides within Great Zhou City for many years, and the aftermath of each tide was unimaginable. With such a large-scale Beast Tide occurring at the frontier during the festive season, how could Yujing City have a peaceful new year. "The Beast Tide has been quelled, but there are two matters even more urgent than the Beast Tide," said Uncle Yun. The first was the appearance of a Summoning Emperor Level hermit from beyond the known world within Great Zhou City. The second was that someone from Hou Qin had infiltrated Daoye Mountain Guard City under the guise of a hunter, assassinating Da Zhou Hunters. As these two pieces of intelligence reached the Martial Saint General Mansion, they also spread quickly throughout the entire Yujing City. Inside Yujing City, including the Imperial Palace, everyone was shocked. "Quickly send someone to investigate the old summoner, and additionally, look into the matter of the old summoner’s disciple. Once their identities have been verified, at any cost, we must pull this person into our camp! Also, immediately go invite the Deputy Hall Master of the Wuxuan Wuji Hall. Tell him I have an important matter to discuss with him," Yun Bahe decided after a moment’s thought. Similar orders swiftly spread within Yujing City on the same day, Unbeknownst to Yun Sheng, she had suddenly become the most sought-after commodity in Yujing City because of this "baseless" Summoning Emperor Level figure.
