When Gufeng saw the magic scepter, his eyes widened in disbelief. He was so nervous that he didn't even know where to put his hands and feet.
Even with his poor eyesight, he could see that this magic scepter was much better than the one he had destroyed earlier. He didn't expect that Yun Sheng could actually refine such a good magic scepter in just one night.
Unable to reject Yun Sheng's kindness, Gufeng took the scepter. Just as he held the magic scepter in his hand, he felt a burst of heat on his right arm. His clumsy fingers strangely became nimble. He calmed his mind and recited a detoxification spell.
Although he felt that it was much easier for him to gather the magical elements, his stuttering recitation still hindered the effect of the spell.
Yun Sheng frowned. It seemed that Gufeng's stuttering was a big problem.
But Gufeng himself was already very satisfied. In the past, when he didn't have a magic scepter, his detoxification spell would only succeed once out of five times. Just now, he only needed to use two times to succeed. This magic scepter was too amazing.
Gufeng was stunned, and a wave of ecstasy surged like a tide.
Yun Sheng carefully watched Gufeng's recitation process. Just as Teacher Merry said, Gufeng didn't lack magical talent, but he lacked confidence and stability.
His stuttering was normal, but when he recited, his stuttering was very serious. In a battle, this was fatal. The opponent was enough to kill Gufeng countless times in the process of failing to recite a spell.
Perhaps, this weakness of Gufeng could be made up for with the Magical Beast Soul Stone.
Yun Sheng stroked her chin, thinking about what kind of Magical Beast Soul Stone to find for Gufeng. That kind of magical beast didn't need to be very powerful, but it had to be fast enough in its recitation.
After all, no one would expect a light magician to charge and break through enemy lines.
When he heard that Yun Sheng wanted to find another Soul Stone for him, Gufeng shook his head like a rattle-drum. "No … Soul Stones are too expensive. I … I can't afford it."
Obtaining Soul Stones was nothing more than buying them or hunting them. Teacher Merry had been researching new potions for a while now, so she couldn't divert her attention to take Gufeng to hunt a suitable magical beast alone to obtain Soul Stones. The only thing left seemed to be to buy Soul Stones from Crystal or Magic Scepter shops.
However, the effect of the Soul Stone would be greatly reduced, and the price would be ridiculously high. It was definitely not something a poor kid like Gufeng could afford.
"I know a place where you can buy relatively cheap Soul Stones," Abandon's deep voice interrupted.
According to Teacher Merry, before the final assessment, the members of the Thirteen Magical Potion Groups had to be like three grasshoppers tied to the same straw, advancing and retreating together.
Under the pressure, Abandoned had no choice but to hang out with Yun Sheng and Gufeng.
He also saw how Gufeng used the new Magic Scepter just now.
Yun Sheng and Gufeng both stared at Abandon in amazement, as if his initiative to speak was a wonder of heaven and earth like the Red Rain Under the Heavens.
Under the dark green magician's robe, Abandon was a little uncomfortable under their stares. "Wanlong Gambling House."
Yun Sheng finally knew why Abandon often disappeared in the middle of the night and during the day, other than going to class, he was nowhere to be seen.
This little brat actually had a part-time job outside the academy, and it was in the largest gambling house in Jade Capital.
As a public student, it was normal for them to be short of money. For a doctor like Yunsheng, who had a specialty, they didn't have to worry about food. However, for most public students, making money was always a big problem that needed to be solved.
The maintenance of the Magic Scepter, the purchase of Soul Stones, and the materials for refining magical potions, all of these required money.
Abandon was an 'orphan' and had no family support at all. Relying on the allowance of the public students in the academy was obviously not enough for his expenses.
After nightfall, the Wanlong Gambling House, as the busiest gambling house in Jade Capital, had just started to get lively.
The Wanlong Gambling House was a famous gambling den in the city. It was four stories high, and the guests it received ranged from commoners to aristocrats to rich merchants from other countries. Even magicians, warriors, and summoners were their guests.
The glazed roof tiles and gold-lacquered pillars were resplendent. The floor tiles were made of pure gold, and the walls were engraved with illumination magic formations. The place operated all night, and there were as many as 10,000 gamblers entering and leaving.
When Gufeng first heard that they were going to the gambling house, he was shocked. Under Yun Sheng's coaxing and pestering, he dawdled and followed them to the Wanlong Gambling House.
In order to conceal themselves, Yun Sheng and Gufeng wore the same magic cloak as Abandon and walked into the Wanlong Gambling House.
Once they entered the gambling house, Yun Sheng realized that the surroundings were unusually lively. There were all kinds of people, and Abandon's eye-catching dark green magic cloak didn't attract much attention in the gambling house.
"Abandon, you're here." When the people of the Wanlong Gambling House saw Abandon, they greeted him familiarly.
In a place like the Wanlong Gambling House, there were all kinds of guests, and there were even those who caused trouble after losing money. The reason why the Wanlong Gambling House was able to stand firm in Jade Capital was because it had a powerful guard team that looked after the place.
In the guard team, most of them were warriors, but there were also magicians and summoners.
Abandon was one of them. He came to the gambling house to look for a part-time job before the new year.
At that time, the guards of the gambling house saw that he was young and was only an ordinary magician, so they mocked him on the spot for not knowing what was good for him.
Who knew that Abandon just waved his Living Snake Staff, and the guy who mocked him the loudest turned into a pool of pus.
Since then, Abandon had stayed behind.
This kid didn't talk much, and his identity was mysterious. Most people guessed that he was still a student in the magic academy, but every time someone caused trouble in the gambling house, he was the first to act. His actions were vicious and ruthless. After a while, he became a little famous among the guards of the gambling house.
Now, no one mocked him because of his young age.
In the Boundless Land, powerhouses were everything. Even if one side was an old man and the other was a child, as long as one side was powerful, they had to bow down and call themselves a junior.
"I brought two friends here. They want to go up to the fourth floor to participate in the 'stone-gambling banquet.'" Abandon's tone was still cold.
The Wanlong Gambling House was divided into four floors. The first floor was open to ordinary poor people, the second floor was open to rich guests who had more than 10,000 gold coins in chips, and the third floor was open to royalty and nobles who had scholarly achievements.
As for the fourth floor, most of the people in Shengjing couldn't go up there, no matter how rich they were.
Only warriors, magicians, or summoners could go up to the fourth floor with their identity cards.
That was because there was a very special gambling method there, and that was stone-gambling.
The stone gambling in the Boundless World was not like the modern stone gambling that Yun Sheng knew. What was being gambled was jade, agate, and the like. The stone gambling here referred to soul stones.
Only those who were qualified to use Soul Stones could go up to the fourth floor of the Wanlong Gambling House to gamble with Soul Stones.
Abandon didn't know the specific gambling method. He only heard from the guards that if they were lucky, they could buy high-quality Soul Stones at a very low price in the Wanlong Gambling House.
Therefore, he brought along the confused Yun Sheng and Gufeng.
