10. Chapter 10 Understanding the Elements of Magic
After coming down from Thousand Beasts Tomb Mountain, Yun Sheng returned home.
After the Tengu eclipse, the sun looked more brilliant than usual. The villagers hiding in their houses walked out of their houses one after another, and the village returned to its former peace.
Yun Canghai is not at home, he must be in the tavern at the head of the village.
Yun Shengge changed out of the clothes that were torn by branches, and the small wounds on her hands had healed.
The bestiality ring was still on her hand, but due to being stained with blood, the color of the ring had changed, turning into dark red.
Yun Sheng didn't pay attention. She dug out a thick pharmacopoeia hidden in the wooden box under the bed at home, and tried to find information about moonlight grass in it.
The medical book kept by the Yun family is much larger than ordinary medical books, but it is thick but not heavy. It has an ancient atmosphere. The pharmacopoeia has nearly a thousand pages in total. It is not known what material it is made of. It is well preserved.
.
Yun Sheng was certain that even the pharmacopoeia in the Dharma Temple in Jiaoye Village was not as good as his own pharmacopoeia.
As far as Yun Sheng knows, Yun Canghai is not familiar with medicine. It is believed that this medical book was left by his mother who died young.
For some unknown reason, Yun Canghai didn't often mention his late wife, and this pharmacopoeia had long since become dusty.
The medical system in Wuji Continent is very complex, which is divided into two categories: ancient medical techniques and magical treatment.
Magical healing is related to magic. It is rumored that only the great wizards of magic temples above the town level can know it. It is called sacred magic. Only the royal nobles of the mainland, some children of sects and aristocratic families, and some talented geniuses have the opportunity to learn it.
.
Yun Sheng cannot feel the magic element, and he is just a commoner, so he has no access to magic treatment.
Fortunately, she has a good foundation of medical knowledge from her previous life. She cannot learn magic treatment, but she can also learn ancient medical techniques.
Ancient medical techniques are divided into two types, one is basic herbal medicine, and the other is medicine refining. This pharmacopoeia of the Yun family is a pharmacopoeia that records a large number of basic herbal medicines.
This pharmacopoeia, called Wan Cao Compendium, is very similar to a traditional oriental Chinese herbal medicine pharmacopoeia. It mainly introduces various common and rare medicinal herbs, and also describes the names, characteristics, medicinal effects and appearance of various medicinal herbs.
When she was two or three years old, after becoming familiar with the characters of Wuji Continent, she began to dabble in basic herbal medicine.
After flipping through more than a dozen pages, she found records about moonlight grass.
"Moonlight grass is non-toxic and has a spicy taste. Its appearance is the same as that of ordinary weeds. It is a medicinal herb that is helpful for practicing magic. It grows in moist and dark places. Its leaves can be eaten raw or dried to make moonlight.
Herbal tea, the effect is also good," Yun Sheng looked at it and took out a few picked moongrass.
Under the sunlight, the color of moonlight grass was transparent. When Yun Sheng swallowed a piece of green leaf, he felt as if a mouthful of chili water had been poured into his throat, which was very spicy.
She sat cross-legged and began to meditate on magic as taught by the Banana Leaf Dharma Temple.
Meditation is the most common method used by magicians in Wuji Continent to accumulate magic elements.
Ever since she participated in magic enlightenment for the first time when she was three years old, she learned the way of meditation like other children in Jiaoye Village.
For most children, because they are young and restless, they need to rely on magic crystals to concentrate their mental power and enter a meditative state.
But Yun Sheng is an anomaly. She only participated in one magic initiation and already learned how to meditate.
Her time to enter trance is several times faster than that of ordinary people, and she can enter trance without the help of magic crystals.
The specific reason Yun Sheng attributed it to the fact that when she was a doctor in her previous life, she needed to maintain high concentration at all times.
In the small thatched house of the Yun family, Yun Sheng sat alone on the bed. The bright sunshine outside the window and the chirping of birds all disappeared.
She seemed to be in total darkness.
Yun Sheng meditated while recalling the concept of magic spoken by the village chief's grandfather.
There are four natural elements in the continent, wind, earth, water, and fire, which correspond to the four elemental colors of green, yellow, blue, and red.
The natural elements that each person can perceive will also be different depending on their own meditation state and elemental affinity.
Generally speaking, the perception of magical elements is related to a person's personality.
For example, people with hot tempers have the strongest ability to capture the red fire element.
People with flexible personalities are uniquely gifted in perceiving the blue water element.
People who are fickle and sensitive can keenly feel the green wind element.
Honest and honest people are naturally prone to be favored by the earth element.
But the power of perception is not absolutely related to personality. In some cases, there will be special cases. For example, the village chief grandfather can perceive the power of the two elements of wind and water at the same time.
In the past three years, Yun Sheng had always seen nothing but darkness, but after eating moonlight grass today, she noticed that something had changed in that darkness.
Faintly, there seemed to be countless light spots in the darkness.
The stars were shining like stars, and there were more and more stars, gradually occupying Yun Sheng's entire meditation space.
Red, as red as burning clouds, jumped in Yun Sheng's meditation space.
The village chief grandpa once said that more elemental power means higher magical talent.
From pitch black to a large amount of fire elements, such a big change made Yun Sheng, who had always been calm, couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
The fire element is the most violent and aggressive among the four natural elements.
Yun Sheng always remembers the sea of fire released by her father Yun Canghai when she first came to Wuji Continent.
Perhaps because of her father, she inherited the magical constitution of the fire element.
After feeling ecstatic, Yun Sheng continued with the next step of meditation.
Understanding the elements of magic is the first step, which means that Yun Sheng has just become a magic apprentice.
You cannot use magic just by perceiving the magic element. You must condense the perceived fire element into magic flame seeds and store them in your body.
As long as one color of magic element can be accumulated in the body, one can be promoted from a magic apprentice to a magician and learn the most basic magic.
Carefully apply the power of meditation to guide the red magic elements, constantly compressing and gathering them.
Just when Yun Sheng successfully attracted a large amount of magical fire elements, all the red fire elements suddenly disappeared, as if an invisible big hand swept away all the magical elements.
Yun Sheng's head felt like it was concentrated by a heavy hammer, and her consciousness burst like glass instantly. Her little body shook violently, and her face instantly turned pale. She opened her eyes, with unwillingness and pain in her eyes.
Meditate on the gap.
Failed!
The most important step in the transition from a magic apprentice to a magician is the step of accumulating magic elements after realizing the magic elements. She failed.
Yun Sheng didn't understand where she went wrong.
Why can't magic elements be accumulated in the body?
The side effects of the meditation break were terrible, which meant that she would not be able to meditate twice for the rest of the day.
She didn't notice that just now, the bestiality ring on her hand flashed red, and then returned to its original color.
With a heavy heart, Yun Sheng swallowed another piece of moonlight grass, then washed the remaining moonlight grass and dried it in the sun.
In the next few days, Yun Sheng took advantage of Yun Canghai's absence to meditate several times.
She could see more and more fire elements every time she meditated, but without exception, at the last moment, all the magic elements would disappear.
Several days passed in a flash, and Yun Sheng was still unable to accumulate magic elements. However, the day for the Jiaoye Temple to select a medicine-gathering boy was coming.
