When Yun Sheng came out of the Banana Leaf Temple, she had acquired five brand-new silver coins and a Medicine Collection Boy's Uniform.
Ding Lei's burns were serious, and when the people of Huoyan Village learned that it was someone from the Banana Leaf Temple who had taken action, they did not dare to react angrily and could only take Ding Lei away.
The events at the temple were suppressed by the village chief and not leaked, but the villagers all knew that Yun Sheng from Banana Leaf Village had defeated Ding Lei from Huoyan Village, and their gazes towards Yun Sheng changed.
Under everyone's attention, Yun Sheng left the temple calmly, her mind still flickering with the scene of the Magic Fire Wolf that appeared just earlier.
Unlike the gentle Water Magic and the ethereal Wind Magic of the village chief, the Fire Magic truly deserves to be the most dazzling with the strongest attack power among the Four Elements Magic. Although Yun Sheng has unparalleled family skills, magic is still something she finds unforeseeable.
However, why she still cannot gather Magic Elements even after taking Moonlight Grass baffles Yun Sheng.
Ahead, a noise of children's quarreling.
"What kind of monster is this? Stone it to death," a few children around three or four years old gathered together.
The creature surrounded by the children was an unknown young beast, pitch-black in color, and indistinguishable in breed.
The reason the children called it a monster was because the young beast had two heads.
One of the heads had already been deformed by the stones thrown by the children, and the skin on the other head was also torn open, faintly revealing the skull.
To the children, the deformed young creature indeed looked like a monster.
There are several barren hills next to Banana Leaf Village, inhabited by some unknown wild beasts, and perhaps this young creature had escaped from the mountains.
From a doctor's perspective, Yun Sheng knew that the young beast was deformed and had congenital developmental issues, coupled with starvation and cold, it wouldn't live long.
If this were in modern times, the young creature might still have a chance to undergo separation surgery with advanced medical equipment, unfortunately, the current environment was too primitive.
Just as Yun Sheng was about to walk away, her body suddenly shuddered, as if she had hit an invisible wall head-on.
She felt a strange wave of emotion, as if someone was whispering something silently in her ear.
Yun Sheng looked over again, her gaze collided with that of the young beast.
In the pale brown eyes of the young beast, there was immense pain.
That expression of pain, entirely unlike that of a wild beast, seemed more like that of a naive child?
"Stop it, don't bully it," Yun Sheng didn't hesitate any longer, she stepped forward and shooed the children away.
When close to the young beast, Yun Sheng noticed that despite such severe injuries, as soon as she approached, it still managed to shake and support itself, raising all its dirty fur and issuing a defensive roar towards Yun Sheng.
Most wild beasts bear hostility towards humans, let alone a young creature that has just been bullied by humans.
"I won't hurt you, no need to be tense," Yun Sheng knew that dying beasts were the most dangerous.
As she spoke, she slowly approached the Two-headed Beast, which seemed to be pondering Yun Sheng's words, a hint of confusion in its beastly eyes.
While the Two-headed Beast was contemplating, Yun Sheng swiftly raised her hand and a needle filled with anesthetic silently sliced through the air, stabbing into the back of the young beast.
The young beast staggered and fell to the ground.
Yun Sheng picked up the Two-headed Beast and ran towards her home like flying.
On a mountain road outside Banana Leaf Village, several villagers from Huoyan Village were pushing a wheelbarrow, which carried Ding Lei, completely wrapped in gauze.
The Fire Magic of Ye Beiming was very domineering, fortunately, the village chief intervened timely, and since Great Mage Yang didn't want the people from Huoyan Village to come looking for trouble, they simply treated her injuries.
Ding Lei's life was saved, but her face and skin had been burnt beyond recognition, disfigured for life.
"Lei Lei, don't be sad. Once we return to the village, we'll have the village chief take action, collaborating with the city's pharmacies to boycott the Blood Stopping Flowers from Banana Leaf Village. Let's see how they survive then," a villager said bitterly.
"And that Yun Sheng. She conspired with that boy from the Magic Temple to harm me, I must take revenge, I want to kill her," Ding Lei's disfigured face twisted together.
She harbored deep hatred; if not for her, the position of Medicine Gathering Boy should have been hers alone.
"Lei Lei, rest assured, the village chief will help you take your revenge," several villagers echoed.
"You won't be able to take revenge," a man stood at the crossroads ahead.
The man was tall and reeked of cheap liquor.
"Who are you? Who says I can't take revenge?" Ding Lei grit her teeth as she sat up, glaring angrily at the drunkard blocking the way.
"Bullying the young and weak; I am here to step in, old and daring," the man stated, his breath heavy with alcohol as he spoke, slipping a cane shimmering with five soul stones out of his sleeve.
No one can bully Sheng'er.
In an instant, the sky stirred with gathering clouds, and the ground mysteriously ignited with countless tongues of flame, like demons from hell, piercing through every nook and cranny.
The Phantom Ghost Fire, capable of devouring even souls, one of the most mysterious and forbidden Fire Element Magic on the continent.
"Sky Magic..." Magic Apprentice Ding Lei's voice trailed off as she turned to ash.
This fire was even more domineering than the Fire Middle-level Magic earlier unleashed by Ye Beiming.
When the fire died down, only a few human-shaped piles of ash remained on the ground.
They scattered away with the wind.
Cough cough.
Tucking the Magic Bone Staff back into his sleeve, the drunkard Yun Canghai coughed violently.
He chuckled wryly, mocking himself: "My magic only has so much power left. Soon, not even alcohol will suppress the blood curse within me. My magic power... this place is no longer safe. Maybe I have no choice but to send Sheng'er back? But what face do I have to go back?"
He stooped his back, walking towards Banana Leaf Village like an old man nearing his twilight years. As dusk neared, his tall, thin silhouette stretched long and melancholy.
At that moment, Yun Sheng had already settled the Two-headed Beast at home.
The Two-headed Beast under the influence of anesthetic had already fallen into a deep sleep.
While the Two-headed Beast slept, Yun Sheng had already purchased some essentials needed for the surgery.
Luckily, she had just made a small fortune, just enough to buy the sundries she needed.
Given the limitations, she could only temporarily convert her modest bed into a makeshift surgical table.
New oil lamps from the village store, the leftover cheap liquor drunk by Yun Canghai, clean cotton gauze, fresh cotton, several suitably sized Beast Tendons, a recently purchased "scalpel", and a few Bone Needles of varying sizes.
After hanging the thin mattress over the window to block the view inside, everything was ready for the surgery.
Yun Sheng put on the clean Medicine Gathering Boy's Uniform, serving as a lab coat, and as she washed her hands with the cheap liquor, she casually tried to take off the Beast Language Ring.
But after several attempts, she failed to remove the ring. Helplessly, Yun Sheng had to proceed with the surgery while wearing the ring.
