CHAPTER 125: CHAPTER 60: THE COMMISSION OF THE MAGIC MEDICINE ASSOCIATION

Just half a month before the midterm assessment, Gu Feng brought an intermediate student from the Magic Potion Department to find Yun Sheng.

"Inviting me to join the Magic Medicine Association? Gu Feng, I’ve said it before, I’m not a sociable person, and I’m not interested in any kind of student organization in the academy," Yun Sheng’s true psychological age was that of an adult, and she really didn’t have any interest in participating in association activities with a bunch of kids and teenagers at most a mere dozen years old.

Her previous impression of the Combat Association was really too terrible; as soon as she heard Gu Feng suggesting she join some magic medicine interest group, Yun Sheng flatly refused.

"Yun Sheng, as a student of the Magic Potion Department, we share both honor and disgrace. You must think of a way for this midterm assessment; please help the Magic Medicine Association," the desperate-looking Magic Pharmacist student next to Gu Feng said righteously.

He appeared to be thirteen or fourteen years old, with a messy nest of hair on his head, and a smell similar to chemical agents emanating from his body.

This image was that of a typical chemistry oddball, clearly someone who spent all day immersed in the Magic Potion Laboratory.

Gu Feng didn’t know many people in the Magic Potion Department, but he was very interested in magic potions. Thus, not long after joining the Royal Magic Academy, he joined a small association within the academy—the Magic Medicine Association.

The Magic Medicine Association, compared to the Magic Fighting Association with over a hundred members, was truly small.

Adding Gu Feng and the current Magic Pharmacist oddball, who was said to be the President An Jie of the Magic Medicine Association, there were no more than five people. This was already the minimum number of members required by the Royal Magic Academy to form an association.

"Yun Sheng, it’s really out of sheer necessity that I brought President An to invite you to join the Magic Medicine Association. If you’re willing to join the association, President An has agreed to let you serve as the president of the association. If you don’t join, the Magic Medicine Association is likely to be disbanded. You must help us, Master Mei Li is still the honorary advisor of the Magic Medicine Association," Gu Feng pleaded with a pained expression.

Gu Feng had wanted to invite Yun Sheng to join the association ever since he witnessed her last alchemy result, but unfortunately, Yun Sheng had been outright refusing every time.

According to the Royal Magic Academy’s tradition, every association must present the results of the past year at the final assessment, so that in the following year, the association can obtain financial aid from the academy based on the past year’s performance.

For the Combat Association, this means demonstrating a new Fighting Magic in front of the entire school’s teachers and students. For the Magic Medicine Association, it means concocting a new Magic Potion on the spot.

In past years, the Magic Medicine Association had no outstanding performance in developing new magic potions, and its funds had always been tight.

The Combat Department has been claiming that the Magic Medicine Association, without significant contributions, has occupied limited academy activity rooms and funds and has applied to abolish the Magic Medicine Association several times.

The school authorities have also indicated that if the Magic Medicine Association fails to show outstanding performance this time, it will be abolished.

The whole Magic Medicine Association, after receiving this news and through multiple discussions by An Jie, Gu Feng, and others, as well as covert guidance from Master Mei Li, finally developed a new Magic Potion.

They planned to make a sensational debut at the academy’s midterm assessment.

"Since there’s a new potion, what difference does it make whether I join or not," Yun Sheng did not want to show off her talent in magic potions too much to avoid unnecessary attention.

"One of our Magic Pharmacists injured his hand during the Fighting Magic class yesterday and can’t use magic for the next few days. The Magic Potion requires five people to concoct, and now we are short one person," said An Jie righteously, no doubt an underhanded act from the Magic Combat Department.

As per Yun Sheng’s instruction, Gu Feng hadn’t told An Jie that Yun Sheng could make High-grade Agility Water, but he vaguely hinted to An Jie that Yun Sheng was especially outstanding in terms of Magic Potion stability.

As everyone knows, stabilizing the magic potion is the final step in potion-making, and also the most difficult one.

Magic Medicine and Ancient Medicine share many similarities in terms of efficacy, but differ greatly in their methods of preparation.

Ancient Medicine is akin to traditional Chinese medicine in modern sense, emphasizing the balance of primary and supplementary ingredients, and the harmony of yin and yang.

Magic Medicine, on the other hand, focuses on the fusion of various potion ingredients with Magic Elements.

The final step of all magic potion stabilization is the fusion of various Magic Elements to form the final Magic Potion. This is the most critical step, requiring the Magic Pharmacist to have precise control over the Magic Elements and potion materials, so that they can perfectly manage each Magic Element at the end and prevent chaos among the elements, which could cause a potion explosion.

The injured Magic Pharmacist from the Magic Medicine Association was originally in charge of the final step of potion stabilization. Now that he was injured and An Jie heard that Yun Sheng was excellent in this aspect, he couldn’t help but anxiously seek her out.

"Our opponent is the Magic Fighting Association, and if I remember correctly, is their advisor Cang Song?" Yun Sheng and the Magic Fighting Association have had a long-standing grudge.

An enemy’s friend is an enemy too, and this time, even if she didn’t care to preserve Gu Feng’s face, she would still need to respect Master Mei Li.

"Alright, I’ll agree to participate in this potion-making. However, President An, you don’t need to give up your position as president. I’m someone who is used to being lazy and I’m not suited to be any kind of president. First, tell me, which Magic Medicine are you planning to concoct?" Yun Sheng agreed to their request.

"We haven’t decided which potion to concoct yet," both of them said with a distressed look.

There’s only half a month left for the final examination and these two potion dummies still don’t know what potion to concoct?

Yun Sheng suppressed the urge to criticize, "In that case, I have a potion here which I came across by chance. It’s a Magic Potion that can repair the Magic Soul, called Moon God’s Praise."

Moon God Spirit Water is a high-grade Magic Potion, whose effects are roughly similar to the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill used by Martial Artists. The difference is that Moon God Water is for Mages, while the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill is for Martial Artists.

Since its establishment, the Magic Medicine Association has never attempted to concoct Advanced Magic Medicine, so this time, the entire association was full of fighting spirit, ready to make a mark in the final examination.

After saying this, Yun Sheng handed a prescription to An Jie, while reminding him, "You must remember, this prescription must absolutely not be leaked."

The prescription is considered the core part of a magic potion, and once leaked, the value of the potion greatly diminishes.

An Jie glanced at the ingredients on the prescription, saw no major issues, and casually put it away.

A dozen days later, the most important final examination of the year began at the Royal Magic Academy.

Yun Sheng, Gu Feng, and Qi San all successively participated in the exams for courses like Basic Potion Making, Basic Magic Introduction, and Magic Combat.

In the practical exams, Gu Feng, having fused his Magic Soul with the soul stone of a Lightning Eel, managed to get through the Magic Combat course, which had always been his biggest headache, without any major troubles.

After completing the two days of final examinations, next up was the showdown between the Magic Medicine Association and the Magic Fighting Association.
