CHAPTER 135: CHAPTER 70 EIGHT DESOLATE DIVINE ARTIFACTS (PART 1)

Regarding Yun Sheng’s three conditions, Qi did not object, but Gu Feng had some opinions, especially concerning Yun Sheng’s second condition.

He felt that Yun Sheng was being petty and narrow-minded. Despite Hua Keke betraying the Magic Medicine Association and everyone, it was due to her family that she involuntarily went against her conscience. Yun Sheng’s demand for the academy to punish Hua Keke severely was cutting off her means of survival.

A Magic Pharmacist with a tarnished reputation cannot survive in the world of Mages.

Before Yun Sheng could explain, the usually reticent Qi spoke up.

"Gu Feng, Yun Sheng did nothing wrong. That day, her hand was nearly crippled. While you were merciful towards Hua Keke, did she ever consider being kind to us?" Qi’s icy voice was like a bucket of cold water, dousing Gu Feng all at once.

Gu Feng looked at Yun Sheng’s hand with shame.

He could not forget how during those days of confinement, Yun Sheng’s right hand was wrapped up like a bun.

The destructive power of the Magic Thunder Vortex is terrifying. Yun Sheng said she had learned a unique family technique that allowed her to dissipate most of the Magic Power. If it were someone else, their hand would have been long useless.

For a Mage, the right hand is as essential as the heart.

Yun Sheng couldn’t help but look at Qi gratefully.

This kid, he still has some conscience after all.

That day, almost everyone’s attention was captured by the High-grade Moon God’s Praise, but only Qi quietly handed over a Hemostatic Agent halfway through.

Yun Sheng’s hand indeed suffered severe injuries, but she dared to engage in alchemy only because she had the Shennong Medical Bracelet and combined it with the special technique of Yanling’s Hand.

Nevertheless, the lethality of the Magic Medicine Thunder Vortex formed by the magic conflict was indeed shocking. Even with the miraculous Shennong Medical Bracelet and Master Mei Li’s Healing Technique, it took three full days and nights for Yun Sheng’s hand to heal.

Gu Feng was still young, and it was understandable that he could not comprehend Yun Sheng’s actions. But Qi, being only a year or two older than the two, agreeing with Yun Sheng’s method, was somewhat unexpected for Yun Sheng.

Yun Sheng thought to herself, Qi must have had some painful experiences, making him quite wary of others.

"Gu Feng, I admit that my approach was quite absolute, but with one Hua Keke, there will be a second one. A Magic Pharmacist with ill intentions could potentially harm many innocents. What I am doing is also to let others know the consequences of colluding with the Combat Association," Yun Sheng solemnly advised Gu Feng.

When the three returned to the Public Student Dormitory, they happened to meet Master Mei Li.

From her appearance, she seemed to have been waiting for them for a long time.

"You three, come with me," Master Mei Li led the three to her residence.

"You three must already know about the exchange student matter. This is an order personally issued by the dean, and it cannot be changed anymore. I too just received the news, here are a few Magic Artifacts, keep them on you for self-defense after going to Wuxuan Wuji Hall," Master Mei Li said with emotion, looking at the three trainees in front of her.

After spending some time together, she genuinely liked these children.

Unfortunately, the current situation did not allow her to continue being their mentor.

But having experienced the incident with the Moon God Water, Master Mei Li also knew that she had little left to teach them about Magic Medicine.

Fortunately, the three members of Magic Potion Group Thirteen had gone through a period of adjustment and had accepted each other, which was beneficial for their upcoming exchange journey.

Yun Sheng and her companions received the Magic Artifacts and found that they were all Intermediate Magic Artifacts. These were worth at least several hundred gold coins each in the market.

Gu Feng and Qi had never received such a precious gift. Both were so excited that they eagerly examined the Magic Artifact over and over.

Master Mei Li gave them a few more instructions before letting the three of them go back.

Not long after they left, Yun Sheng returned.

"Master Mei Li, what is the real reason for us joining the Wuji Pavilion?" Yun Sheng had felt something was off for a while and carefully probed after noticing Master Mei Li’s conflicting expression, as if she wanted to say more but hesitated.

"As expected, I can’t hide anything from you, my girl," Master Mei Li said with a mix of exasperation and amusement. She set up a Barrier around the room to prevent eavesdropping.

She believed that Yun Sheng’s intelligence was more than enough to handle the information she was about to reveal.

The dispatch of exchange students between Magic Academy and Martial Arts Hall isn’t something special in itself.

After all, outside Great Zhou City, including martial arts halls and magic academies in Hou Qin, Penglai, Xianju, and Tang Yuan, there is always some exchange of resources.

Especially the Summoners from Penglai Country, who as a special group among Mages, often form a master-servant relationship with Martial Artists, relying on each other.

But the development of magic in Great Zhou has been relatively recent, and the relationship between Yujing Royal Magic Academy and Wuji Pavilion over the years, has, to put it nicely, been respectful, but to be frank, they have been eyeing each other with disdain.

Both sides are constantly contending for resources and prestige by various means.

The sudden proposal for an exchange student program by Wuji Pavilion, specifically asking for Yun Sheng and others, was something the Dean of the Royal Academy initially disagreed with.

One is Yun Sheng, a student capable of making high-quality Magic Potion. Although it’s generally believed that Yun Sheng succeeded in making the Moon God’s Praise by a rare fluke, her potential is undoubtedly top-notch.

One can use Light Magic, Gu Feng.

And one possesses mysterious Poison Magic, Qi.

Each of them is a priceless treasure for today’s Royal Magic Academy.

"What finally made the Dean give in was not just the pressure from Wuji Pavilion but also another reason— the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts," mentioned Master Mei Li, her expression suddenly turning very serious.

Yun Sheng even felt an invisible pressure in the room, which came from the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts mentioned by Master Mei Li.

Divine Artifacts—even the name hints at something significant.

Magic Artifacts crafted by Mages are used to store magic or Magic Power, classified into beginner, intermediate, and high levels based on the strength of the magic.

Above Magic Artifacts are Holy Artifacts, and above Holy Artifacts are Divine Artifacts.

Divine Artifacts are vessels that store Divine Power; they can be weapons or treasures, each type rarely seen by the public.

Whenever a Divine Artifact appears, at the least it causes natural phenomena, and at most it leads to catastrophic disasters. Either scenario inevitably results in world chaos and a scramble among heroes.

Unlike Magic and Holy Artifacts that are categorized by levels, Divine Artifacts are categorized based on historical periods.

Yun Sheng had heard about the Eight Desolates in a Basic Magic Course at the Magic Academy, a unique period, but the instructor did not mention the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts at that time.

The so-called Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts refer to the Divine Artifacts left from the Ancient Eight Desolate Period.
