Ever since Gufeng was born, he felt that he was an unlucky person.
His family was poor, and he was born in a remote mountain village. His parents were illiterate farmers, and he had five siblings.
When he was four years old, he was unexpectedly discovered to be able to sense the light element when he attended the initiation ceremony at the temple.
At that moment, the entire village was in an uproar.
To understand it from a modern person's perspective, it was like a university student coming out of a mountain cave.
Gufeng relied on the money his parents collected from the villagers to attend the mage training at the town's temple.
However, Gufeng was born with a slight stutter, and this stutter became more and more serious when he was chanting, until it became difficult for him to chant.
This greatly reduced the effectiveness of his Magic Nurturing Chant, and the Dharma Suppression Temple also gave up on nurturing him.
It was a great mage at the temple who saw his talent in potions and recommended him to the Royal Magic Academy.
In this academy, where there were many children of officials, his existence was treated as a joke.
He was ridiculed every two to three days, and beaten up every five days. If not for Teacher Merry and Abandon, Gufeng might not have been able to persevere.
But just as Gufeng was about to give up mentally, Yun Sheng appeared.
In just a few short days, Gu Feng felt that his life had undergone an earth-shaking change.
A few days ago, he was still a little magician who didn't even have a magic scepter. But in just two days, he not only had a magic scepter of the light attribute, but also a rank 5 soul stone of the light attribute.
According to the principles of magic, Gufeng would definitely not be able to fuse with a rank 5 soul stone.
But this lightning eel soul stone did not have this problem.
Because it had been stored in the Shield Tortoise's stomach for many years (even the appraisers of the Wandong Gambling House could not be sure, and could only estimate that it should have been in the tortoise's stomach for more than a hundred years), the violent magical elements on this soul stone had basically been fused with the Shield Tortoise, and its repulsion had weakened.
Because of this, Gufeng's chances of fusing with this light soul stone had greatly increased.
In order to allow Gufeng to fuse with the Soul Stone in peace, Yun Sheng also gave him a Magic Power Card so that he could stay in the Magic Tower to fuse with the Soul Stone.
Gufeng was much more straightforward. He was no longer as courteous as before.
He already regarded Yun Sheng as his family. He immediately entered the Magic Tower and began to fuse with the Soul Stone.
This was because Gufeng knew that he, Yun Sheng, and Abandon were now a single entity. They were all members of Potion Group 13.
There was no need to thank his companions so easily.
As for Teacher Merry, all he needed to do was to inform Abandon.
After Abandoned returned to the Academy of Magic, he became as cold as an iceberg again, unwilling to say a single word.
But it could be seen that his attitude towards Yun Sheng and Gufeng was much better. At least when Yun Sheng asked him to help inform Teacher Merry, he would respond like a mosquito bite. This could be considered an improvement.
The mid-term examination was approaching. Yun Sheng wanted to enter the Magic Tower and comprehend the second magic scroll that Teacher Merry gave her. But she was busy revising her magic lessons on one hand and taking care of the public herb field on the other. She really couldn't do two things at once.
She planned to complete the first batch of herbs in the public herb field before entering the Magic Tower to comprehend the second mid-level spell.
The second mid-level spell was called Earthmeld. This was a spell similar to teleportation, but due to Yun Sheng's magic power, she could only teleport five or six meters away at a time. These five or six meters were still very effective in avoiding some single-target magic attacks.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Yun Sheng had just used the Rain Spell to water the herb field when she suddenly discovered that some of the herbs in the public herb field showed signs of withering.
Ever since Yun Sheng started taking care of the herb field, such a thing had never happened before.
After careful observation, Yun Sheng didn't find any problems with pests.
There were also no problems with weeding and watering.
Yun Sheng couldn't help but frown.
Shennong's eyes flickered slightly as she stared intently at a stalk of herb.
The emerald green exterior of the herb gradually turned into a piece of tendon. Yun Sheng noticed that the herb that looked undamaged on the outside was wriggling with tiny ant-like black magic elements.
Upon closer inspection, she discovered that it wasn't a simple black magic element, but a type of magic bug.
Shennong's eyes returned to their black color.
Yun Sheng sank into deep thought.
Someone was up to no good. Almost immediately, Yun Sheng thought of it.
Someone had tampered with her herb field.
And the person who tampered with it probably didn't have a simple background. They actually knew how to use magic bugs of the dark attribute to frame her.
On the Boundless Continent, there weren't many magic beasts of the dark attribute. Therefore, they were also very precious and wouldn't appear in the herb field of the Royal Magic Academy on a large scale.
This type of magic bug, if it was an ordinary Magic Academy, would definitely not be able to detect it with just a pair of eyes.
Even some experienced Magicians, if they didn't study dark magic, would not be able to detect that the herbs had been tampered with.
But Yun Sheng was different. She had five Magic Spirits and one of them was the dark magic spirit. Her perception towards the dark energy was much stronger than the average person. Adding on the Shennong's eyes, she naturally discovered this type of dark magic bug.
It was a type of dark magic bug that was good at concealing its body and magic aura.
They only gathered at the vital parts of the herb, from the bud to the root, and the speed of reproduction was very shocking.
Currently, Yun Sheng had only discovered one or two acres of the herb field. But if she had discovered it a little later, the entire herb field would have been destroyed.
In a few months' time, before the final examination, Yun Sheng would have to hand over the first batch of public herbs to the Academy.
The person who did this definitely didn't want Yun Sheng to hand over the herbs successfully, so they tampered with it in the dark.
What Yun Sheng wanted to do was to catch the culprit. But before that, there was a more thorny problem for her to solve, which was how to get rid of the bugs.
Like in the past, Yun Sheng only needed to use the Trillium Hand to catch the pests.
But this time, the pests were inside the herbs.
If she uprooted the pests, it would definitely affect the growth of the herbs and the harvest in the future.
But if she didn't remove them, the pests would spread like a plague.
The person who did this was very vicious.
This type of bug wouldn't kill the herbs directly. It would only eat away at the nutritional value of the herbs. It would cause the original first-grade herbs to become second-grade or even third-grade useless herbs.
Who exactly did she offend?
Yun Sheng quickly recalled that day in the herb field, the vice president of the Magic Combat Association, Chen Lian'er, and Song Xiangru.
Previously, when she rejected their invitation to join the Magic Combat Association, the two of them actually didn't take revenge.
Yun Sheng thought about it now. Only those two domineering young ladies from rich families would be willing to use the precious dark magic bug to frame her.
Yun Sheng pondered for a moment and decided to go to the Academy's library to look for relevant information. She wanted to see if she could find a way to get rid of the dark magic bug without damaging the herbs.
